~ BOB MCCUNE - IPMVP2.doc ' . . , Page 1 DRAFT Outline for IPMVP (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol) Plan Marion County Courthouse Square 1. Introduction 2. Option and Method Used for Measurement and Verification Method NB-A-O1 (December 1997 version). Overview: * Baseline definition * Initial savings estimate * Post-installation verification * First year savings estimate * Annual savings estimate 3. Responsible Parties p Baseline d'e~nition: PGEBouillon Initial saving~ estimate: PGEBouillon Post-installati~n verification: EESI (2000) and PGE/contractor (2001) First year savings estimate: ?? (Facility Department? PGE?) , Annual savings estimate: Facility Department „ 4. Key Assumptions * Discussion of cost of re-running DOE-2 vs. building's cost of energy. Only concerned if cost of energy (energy use) is higher than modeled. If energy usage is lower than modeled, no need to study further. How much higher over modeled usage will trigger re-running the first-year savings estimate or other engineering calculations to revise the savings estimate? * List key assumptions from baseline DOE-2. * Ongoing data collection: weather, occupancy, set points, equipment schedules, etc. * What data is collected through the EMS at the system or sub-meter level? 4. Baseline -- from PGEBouillon report. Must document all operational assumptions (p. 135) Methods to Ensure Accurate Energy Savings Determination A. Initial savings estimate: DOE-2 Model. List ECMs. Projected savings = baseline energy performance, minus estimated performance of energy efficient design. B. Verification: verify installed as designed as part of commissioning. Note changes/variance from design. C. First Year Savings Estimate: "Deviations from the planned "steady state operational conditions, changes to system design or equipment operation, warranty remediations, etc. must be documented. All significant deviations will affect first year energy performance and must be reconciled with initial performance projections" DOE-2 will be re-run if County has reason to believe that assumptions have significantly changed. D. Annual Savings Estimate: Same as above, except DOE-2 to be re-run only if assumptions have significantly changed AND actual (metered) energy use is significantly above the modeled amount - enough where the cost of re-running DOE-2 (or making other engineering calculations) is justified by the value of new information. . P. 134 states "Subsequent annual verification consists of documenting the normal operational variances that most buildings experience such as weather,
