Making the Grade
ENERGY STAR® Buildings and Green Lights® recognize
outstanding schools and universities through the 1997 Honor Society
I hese days, students aren't the only
I ones graduating with honors.
Schools and universities are making
the grade as well by increasing the
efficiency of their buildings. The
following schools are doing just
that, and we are proud to welcome
them to the 1997 ENERGY STAR
Buildings and Green Lights Honor
Society.
Schools and universities represent
24 percent of EPAs ENERGY STAR
Buildings and Green Lights partici-
pants. The Honor Society was estab-
lished to recognize school and
university Partners who have gone
the extra mile to succeed in their
energy-efficiency strategy.
In today's environment of reduced
budgets and deferred maintenance,
these schools realize the benefits of
energy efficiency.
These 55 K-12 schools and 87
universities have been especially
proactive when it comes to complet-
ing and reporting energy-efficiency
upgrades. As a group, these schools
reported upgrades on more than 55
million square feet of space to qualify
for the 1997 Honor Society. EPA is
particularly proud of the 57 who
have completed their Green Lights
upgrades. Many of these schools
have gone on to join ENERGY STAR

Overall, Honor Society schools are
saving over $37 million annually and
preventing more than 606 million
pounds of carbon dioxide emissions,
all while maintaining or improving
the comfort of their facilities.
Energy efficiency is a perfect solution
for schools that are looking for 'ways to
save money and improve the campuses
for their students.
The 1997 Honor Society consists
of a diverse group of schools. Some
have been with the ENERGY STAR
Buildings and Green Lights Pro-
gram for years, others have recently
joined. Many are large schools with
multiple campuses, others are
smaller, single-building facilities.
Despite these differences, all of these
schools face the same challenges:
competing resource demands, tight
budgets, deferred maintenance and
growing student populations. At the
same time, Honor Society schools
also share a desire to cut costs,
improve their facilities, and reduce
air pollution. Improving energy effi-
ciency allowed these schools to meet
these challenges while successfully
reducing energy use, saving money,
and improving the comfort of their
facilities.
The common link among all these
schools is their proactive approach
toward energy efficiency.
It's not always easy to recognize
the opportunities available from
energy efficiency. Honor Society
schools have found a way to work
around the obstacles unique to
schools and universities. They have
utilized ENERGY STAR Buildings and
Green Lights to their benefit—by
getting information about financing
options, service providers, latest
proven technologies, planning guide-
lines, and software tools.
The key to being an Honor Society
member is excellence.
The University of Missouri at
Columbia, University of Cincinnati,
and University of Rochester have all
won the ENERGY STAR Buildings
and Green Lights Partner of the
Year Award. And for good reason:
Missouri's pilot building upgrade
showed a reduction in energy costs
of more than 60 percent. The Uni-
versity of Cincinnati has saved more
than $1 million as a result of its
energy upgrades. And the University
of Rochester used students to per-
form many lighting upgrades in
school facilities and encouraged
them to suggest other ideas for
energy savings. iH

Smart Schools
School and University Partners learn that
energy efficiency makes smart business sense
Florida International University
As the first Florida public university to join the
ENERGY STAR® Buildings Program, Florida Inter-
national University (FIU) saw the potential of total
building energy efficiency early on. FIU's Green
Lights® Implementation Director Juan Carlos
Abril hails the program as a way to look at "all of the
pieces of the puzzle of a building's energy use." He
figures that the University saved over $60,000 in its
first year of its energy performance contract, despite
increases in student enrollment, energy demand,
and energy rates.
Besides pollution prevention from its energy-
efficiency improvements, Florida International
University helps its community by sharing its
energy-efficiency knowledge. Through the Energy Con-
servation Assistance Program (ECAP), FIU offers local
small businesses free energy surveys and sets up energy
audits and loans. Abril, who is a former director of the
program, emphasizes that "[ECAP] really helps the com-
munity" by saving money and reducing pollution through
greater energy efficiency. Businesses only have to look next
door to see FIU's success with energy efficiency.

Houston Independent
School District (Texas)
Houston Independent School District (HISD)
recently completed energy upgrades in 39 school facili-
ties. This project, led by Rene Truan of HISD, had a goal
to reduce utility costs, maintain or improve comfort, and
replace very old and inefficient cooling equipment with
high-efficiency equipment at no net cost to HISD. The
District upgraded its facilities through stages: lighting
systems, energy management systems,
variable speed drives (VSDs), and
new pumps. New chillers and thermal
storage systems were also installed.
The combination of load reductions,
savings from other energy-efficiency
measures, off-peak rates for night-
time consumption, and rebates from
Houston Lighting and Power created
enough energy savings to pay for these
improvements. Two local energy ser-
vice companies (ESCOs) were hired
to install the projects and to guarantee
the savings—23.5 million dollars over
a 10-year period. Other benefits to
HISD include the elimination of 32
aged cooling towers, four gas absorp-
tion systems, and 20,000 PCB-laden
ballasts.

Lodi Unified School
District (California)
Lodi Unified School District in
central California used the ENERGY
STAR Buildings Program's five-stage
strategy to reduce heating and cooling
loads prior to major mechanical
upgrades. This approach provided
immediate savings and has helped
fund the upgrades. To date, the district
has upgraded 80 percent of its 41 facil-
ities, resulting in an annual energy bill
savings of nearly $192,000 and elec-
tricity savings of 1.9 million kilowatt
hours. Annually, these energy savings
are equivalent to the pollution pre-
vented by planting 263 acres of trees
per year.

TULSA PU5LJC SCHOOLS
Tulsa Public Schools
(TPS) joined the
ENERGY STAR Build-
ings Program in April
1997 looking to become more energy efficient, reduce
operating costs, and provide a better learning and teach-
ing environment. Les Pace, of CEMC Inc., oversaw a
pilot lighting upgrade project in one school building to
determine if ENERGY STAR Buildings would achieve
these goals for the school system. In the pilot school, all
2x4 light fixtures containing four incandescent lamps and
two ballasts were upgraded to contain two compact fluo-
rescent lamps and one electronic ballast. The high output
fluorescent strip fixtures in the gymnasium were replaced
with Biax High-bay fixtures. The upgrades improved
lighting quality markedly, and both the teachers and stu-
dents appreciated the greater vibrancy of floor, wall, and
banner colors. Maintenance staff were equally elated—in
more than a year, only three lamps and one ballast needed
replacement. The lighting upgrade project's energy sav-
ings of 57 percent will have paid for itself by October
1999. Based upon this success, Tulsa Public Schools has
committed 94 facilities to ENERGY STAR Buildings, of
which 6.5 million square feet will undergo total evalua-
tion and upgrade of controls, heating, cooling and venti-
lating equipment (HVAC), lighting, and building
envelopes.
Energy efficiency is an important
subject in the Cumberland
County Schools. In addition to
the energy-efficiency measures
that the school district applies to
its buildings resulting from Green
Lights, energy education is stressed among students,
teachers, and staff.
A prime example of how Cumberland County
Schools includes everyone in its effort to get out the
message about energy efficiency is its ongoing Energy
Awareness Campaign. This effort includes displays, fly-
ers, posters with energy-savings tips, and even an
incentive plan to further encourage facilities managers
to upgrade their buildings. This Energy Incentive Plan
helped Cumberland County Schools save $608,000 in
energy costs last year.
Energy Coordinator Kathy Miller said that the
resulting enthusiasm toward energy efficiency is
remarkable. "Our electrical staff is eager to change
every inefficient light in the school system, our custo-
dial personnel are assisting us with building surveys,
and many of our educators are whole-heartedly sup-
porting energy conservation by implementing a school

Delaware State University
Delaware State University has discovered the
green in Green Lights® and in energy efficiency.
The University recently completed several phases of
upgrades improving its lighting and installing an
energy management system. As Assistant Vice
President for Facilities Ronald Phillips asserts,
"These measures together showed us $420,000 of
savings in the first six months."
Despite these impressive savings, the Univer-
sity is not finished with its energy-efficiency
improvements. Delaware State is now working
with Honeywell to upgrade and replace the boiler
and chiller systems in four of its buildings. Phillips
estimates that the upgrades, some of which will
replace boilers more than 30 years past their life
expectancy, will save $500,000 a year. Because the
University is state supported, the new upgrades will
focus on "revenue-raising" buildings or dormitories. This
emphasis, and the assistance from Honeywell, will
ensure that Delaware State can fund its energy-effi-
ciency investments.

THE BEST PLACE TO LEARN
Students, teachers, and staff all see the light of energy
efficiency in Davenport Community Schools. Davenport
was the first school district to join and complete the
Green Lights Program, and ranks llth of all
nationwide school districts for the prevention of air
pollution. Director of Support Services Bill Good
predicts that the upgrades made so far will result in
a district-wide savings of $250,000 to $300,000
annually.
Upgrading the lighting in 40 facilities was a
huge task for the school district, which Good esti-
mates cost $1.8 million. Davenport Community
Schools was assisted by its local utility, Mid-Amer-
ican Energy, with $280,000 in rebates for the new
light fixtures, ballasts, and LED exit signs. There
was an unexpected benefit of the lighting upgrades:
stocking the improved fixtures has become much
easier. Only eight types are needed for the whole
district, while 65 were needed previously. The
maintenance staff also enjoys the longer life of the
fixtures, which require fewer replacements.
Maricopa County Community College District Green
Lights upgrades will save money for itself and for the local
taxpayers. With the assistance of Green Lights Ally Parke
Industries, Maricopa just completed lighting upgrades for
12 campuses, more than 3.1 million square feet of facility
space. Manager of Facilities Planning and Development
Arlen Solochek estimates that the District is saving 4.5
million kilowatt-hours (kWh) a year from its lighting
upgrades. This translates into a reduction of about
$450,000 a year in energy costs.
"We converted to lighting which provided a more nat-
ural lighting spectrum and, at times, experienced the old

alongside the new," said Solochek. "Employees and stu-
dents could actually see the difference in color. We
received a very favorable reaction from that, along with the
added benefit of the energy-saving occupancy sensors
Parke Industries installed."
Yale University (Connecticut)
* ""*
As an Ivy League school, Yale University is
accustomed to overcoming challenges. It is
no surprise then, that nothing has been able
to slow this Green Lights Partner's efforts
to improve its energy efficiency.
The highly-admired Gothic-style architecture of Yale's
dormitories and classroom buildings proved a technologi-
cal challenge to lighting upgrades. While most facilities
can replace conventional incandescent bulbs and ballasts
with more efficient compact fluorescents and ballasts
rather easily, Yale had to send some of its original fixtures
to lighting manufacturers to custom design energy-
efficient replacements.
By overcoming these challenges, Senior Energy Con-
servation Engineer Paul Francis estimates that Yale has
reduced its energy demand by about 11 million kWh
through the 5.8 million square feet it has upgraded so far.
University of Virginia
Vermont Law School
VERMONT LAW SCHOOL Even those organizations
i who have already begun
iTi upgrading their lighting can
== benefit by joining the Green
Lights Program. That's what Physical Plant Director John
Delemarre of Vermont Law School discovered. "We
began about four years ago through incentives from our
local utility," said Delemarre. "When I heard about the
Green Lights Program, I thought, why not?" Delemarre
said that he has learned a lot from the program and has
also taken advantage of the technical assistance and pub-
licity the program provides.
Although the School has only been in the program for
about a year and a half, Vermont Law has already received
its recognition certificate for completion. And the
upgrades are not stopping. Environmental impacts are a
major consideration as construction of a new classroom
building begins. The new building will incorporate
motion sensors not just for lighting, but also to control the
heating and cooling of the building. Daylighting will also
be included wherever it is feasible. After the new class-
room building is completed, Vermont Law will continue
its commitment and will upgrade the Chase Community
Center.^
The University of Virginia (UVA) is a win-
ner in the race for energy efficiency. Last year,
the University won the bronze medal at the
Green Lights Summer Games. Although the
Summer Games are over, UVA's commitment
to energy efficiency is not slowing down.
Energy Program Manager Anthony Motto
attests that the goal is to upgrade 300,000 to
400,000 square feet each year. UVA's progress is
impressive—it is nearing the 30 percent mark
for upgrades made so far.
UVA is also active in promoting energy
efficiency around campus. The energy-effi-
ciency newsletter, "Watts Happening," is
published monthly to raise awareness, and
the University is gearing up for its third
annual Energy Awareness Days—a two-day
energy-efficiency fair complete with electric
cars, recycling tips, and energy vendors. At
UVA, the message is clear: everyone is a win-
ner with energy efficiency.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Deferred Maintenance Solutions
How schools and universities can
creatively fund building upgrades
School districts and universities face the same concern as administrators and
facility managers who grapple with the overwhelming issue of what to do
with aging physical plants and the increasing debt burden that many institu-
tions face. During the past 15-20 years, routine expenditures to repair and
renew an institution's physical plant were deferred with the thought in mind
that they could "catch up" once better financial times returned. Only now are
these administrators starting to address these issues as they attempt to rebuild,
remodel, and restore their facilities. The dramatically changing fiscal and
technological landscape is compounding the. deferred maintenance issue and
bringing to light an urgency for strategic planning. The ENERGY Sx&R®
Buildings Program offers a proven strategy that not only addresses this issue
but can help institutions create additional energy and dollar savings.
Our nation's school and university
systems have monumental inter-
nal utility infrastructure needs. Most
school systems installed air-condi-
tioning in the 1960s and 1970s. Cen-
tral plant equipment in many school
systems is 20-30 years old and has
outlived its useful life. Lacking the
necessary funds to replace this aged
equipment has constituted a crisis for
many of our nation's schools. Esti-
mates place the national cost of the
deferred maintenance problem at
$112 billion.1
The central plant equipment defi-
ciencies relate to both continuing
growth and deferred maintenance
concerns. A major component of the
utility services budget is devoted to
energy procurement and utility sys-
tems operations and maintenance. In
only a few private, and even fewer
public, institutions are capital
replacement and depreciation funds
treated as explicit budget line items.
The consequence of this failure to
acknowledge the capital renewal and
depreciation requirements is a sys-
tematic failure to account for the real
' Rebuilding America's Schools, School Planning
economic costs of the utility service
and energy delivery system.
The ENERGY STAR Buildings
Program can create sufficient energy
savings to pay for the upgrades with-
out additional out-of-pocket budget
dollars. In addition, by following this
profit-driven strategy, institutions
can significantly reduce the first costs
of replacement equipment and
enhance the learning environment.
For many school districts the ques-
tion becomes "that sounds great, but
where do I get the budget dollars?"
Creative Funding
Beyond traditional funding
approaches to energy efficiency there
are some creative opportunities for
school administrators to consider.
The most common are lease-pur-
chase performance contracting and
revolving funds. Newer approaches
are being offered by quasi-utilities or
companies that provide more than
traditional energy service company
(ESCO) or utility services.
and Management,January 1997.
Performance Contracting. This type
of approach can be performed on a
lease purchase or shared savings
basis. In either case, the savings from
the energy efficiency measures
should save more than the cost of
the new systems. This includes the
cost of audits, capital, financing,
monitoring, and any maintenance
contracts. The savings are guaran-
teed by the ESCO.
There are a few important points
to remember before entering into a
contract with an ESCO:
S All savings should be calculated
and tracked based on the actual rate
structures in which the school district
is billed. Using an average cost per
kWh method to report savings in this
manner may cause an incorrect use of
demand (kW) and consumption sav-
ings (kWh) and lead to a possible
shortfall in real savings dollars. Jack
Shanks, Superintendent of Dayton
Independent School District, Day-
ton, Texas, has been involved in three
different performance contracts dur-
ing his career. He coined the phrase
that has become the mantra of many
school boards across the country, "I
pay my utility bill in real dollars and I
want energy savings in real dollars."
• A proactive approach to monitor-
ing and verification is necessary.
Establishing an information feed-
back loop regarding environmental
conditions allows the energy man-
ager to further tighten the operating
system and gain additional savings.
Shared Savings. This method can

School Bonding and ENERGY STAR® Buildings
/is the deferred maintenance prob-
/ llem grows in the United States,
school administrators are looking for
funding mechanisms to solve this
staggering problem. Frequently,
school districts use school bonds to
pay for major upgrades within a
school or to build new schools. Many
administrators consider bonds a risky
proposition due to the voter action
required. Other administrators worry
that the public may interpret the
need for a bond to be a failure on the
part of the administration to properly
manage the district's financial
resources. To avoid the risk of having
a bond vote defeated at the polls,
many school district's bundle
deferred maintenance items into a
bond election that includes new
school construction projects. This
can be an unpopular method with
the voters.
The voters may want to support
new school construction, but may
feel justified in voting the measure

your bond, there are several factors
that need to be addressed:
W. Real need has to be demonstrated
to the public. Examples may include
out-of-date technology or lack of
essential heating or cooling.
K Public opinion must be formu-

efficiency upgrades, particularly building-wide upgrades of HVAC, hot water,
and light systems and yields. The key components are: no-down payment, third-
party ownership of capital and improvements during the term of the agreement,
a positive cash flow, and no performance-based payments.
Revolving Funds. This is another new approach in which loans are set up to
fund upgrades and then the loans are repaid from the savings generated in the
utility budget. Some states have legislation that prohibit revolving funds, so be
sure to check with the appropriate authorities before beginning a revolving fund.
Other Approaches. Strategies to link energy supply-side needs with demand-side
alternatives are being employed by several companies. These strategies are cen-
tered around cost minimization, cost stabilization and budget predictability, pro-
curement simplification, and risk management. In some cases, these companies
are able to fund present-day improvements to facilities using future savings. This
can mean new equipment or new computers for schools. Ira
rate as well. This is especially impor-
tant because these systems are the
largest energy users in the school dis-
trict. Many school budgets cannot
afford the up-front cost of replacing
these older, failing systems. The cost
of replacement is deferred to future
years. Due to the tremendous
amount of capital required to solve
the deferred maintenance items,
school districts are not able to
address all of these items in their
annual budgets. Instead, that cost is
borne annually in higher costs for
maintaining and operating these sys-
tems.
ENERGY STAR Buildings has a
solution to improve your success rate
with bond elections. Through the
five-stage approach of the ENERGY
STAR Buildings Program, you will be
able to properly document the state
of your equipment. You will also see
how your equipment compares to
current energy-efficient technology
of other school districts in terms of
performance and energy use. The
ENERGY STAR Buildings approach
can help you identify cost-effective,
low-risk solutions. This means lower
energy consumption and more
energy dollars saved, which repre-
sents budgetary savings for adminis-
trators.
Through public recognition, the
Buildings Program helps to shape
positive public attitudes about your
cost-reduction strategies and your
environmental responsibility. Com-
munity leaders recognize the leader-
ship position that a school takes
when it partners with EPA to
improve energy efficiency and pro-
mote pollution prevention. This is a
vision that everyone can support. B

start children thinking about
reducing energy use, and thereby
preventing air pollution in their
neighborhoods.
"We feel that air pollution is

Announcing the Ally Services
and Products (ASAP) Directory
j o facilitate easier identification of
I companies providing products
and services related* to energy effi-
ciency in buildings, EPA has devel-
oped the Ally Services and Products
(ASAP) Directory. This directory is
an Internet-based listing of ENERGY
STAR Buildings Allies and the prod-
ucts or services they can provide to
organizations seeking to maximize
energy performance of
their facilities through
ENERGY STAR Build-
ings.
The directory allows
users to search for
Allies based on prod-
ucts offered, services
provided, and/or the
locations in which the
Ally is headquartered.
The directory will also
allow viewers to link
directly from ASAP to
the World Wide Web
sites of profiled Allies,
or send an e-mail to an
Ally representative.
EPA is already
working on adding
additional features to
ASAP which will provide more
detailed information and enhanced
sorting features. The ASAP Direc-
tory is a great tool available to support
the needs of ENERGY STAR Buildings
and Green Lights participants.
ASAP is designed to make it easy for
Partners to get information about
"qualified" product and services.
ASAP can be accessed at
http://www.epa.gov/asap through
EPA's web site. If you have any sug-

A New Way to Promote Energy Efficiency
Announcing the ENERGY STAR®
Buildings Endorser Program
he ENERGY STAR® Buildings Pro-
I gram continues to grow with the
introduction of the ENERGY STAR
Buildings Endorser Program. Who
are ENERGY STAR Buildings
Endorsers? Professional trade asso-
ciations, non-profit organizations,
and public interest groups that agree
to promote ENERGY STAR Buildings
and the benefits of energy-efficient
technologies and services to their
members.
If you are an association or belong
to one, here are few reasons to con-
sider ENERGY STAR Buildings:
Why Should Your Organization
Become an Endorser?
Your members can benefit from energy
efficiency. Our Partners are your
members and if they adopt the
ENERGY STAR Buildings strategy,
they can reduce their energy con-
sumption by as much as 50 percent.
By endorsing the program, you can
show them how.
You'll be providing a value-added ser-
vice to your members. You can help
your members achieve their poten-
tial energy savings by uncovering
opportunities through ENERGY
STAR Buildings.
You'll be doing something good for the
environment. By promoting the
ENERGY STAR Buildings goals, you
and your members will be helping
prevent air pollution.
How Can ENERGY STAR Build-
ings Help Your Organization?
By helping you communicate the
benefits of energy efficiency to your
members. We can help you get the
message to your members by helping
to prepare a mailing to your mem-
bers, writing an article for your
newsletter, or participating in your
annual conference or meetings. Or
tell us—we'll be happy to work with
your organization to provide you the
support your members need.
How Can ENERGY STAR Build-
ings Help Your Members?
By showing your members how
they can benefit from energy-effi-
cient upgrades. If your members
choose to adopt the ENERGY STAR
Buildings strategy, we can offer
additional benefits, such as: unbiased
technical information, communica-
tion support, no-cost software tools,
and a customer support team to
answer questions.
How Your Organization Can
Become an Endorser
All you need to do is sign a one-
page Memorandum of Understand-
ing (MOU). For more information
or a sample MOU, call the toll-free
ENERGY STAR Hotline at 1-888-
STAR-YES (1-888-782-7937). H

LIGHTING UPGRADE WORKSHOPS
Were Improving the Lighting Upgrade Workshop...
Since 1991, EPA's Green Lights®
Program has been sponsoring
Lighting Upgrade Workshops de-
signed to show how energy-efficient
lighting can save money while improv-
ing lighting quality. Today, Green
Lights is the first stage of the build-
ing-wide program—ENERGY STAR®
Buildings. As a result, EPA has refined
the workshops to address not only
lighting but more importantly the role
of lighting in whole-building
upgrades.
Starting in November 1997, EPA
is launching a new series of technol-
ogy-specific, interactive, technical
sessions entitled "Building Know-
How." These one-day sessions will
bring together small groups of facili-
ties managers to address specific
technical issues in one of the five
stages of the ENERGY STAR Buildings
Program. These stages include light-
ing, building tune-ups, other load
reductions, fan systems, and heating
and cooling plant improvements.
Building Know-How sessions
focusing on lighting will be open to
all ENERGY STAR Buildings and
Green Lights participants. The
morning session will cover such top-
ics as target light levels, light and bal-
last technology, lighting controls, and
lamp and ballast disposal. The after-
noon session will be customized to
the specific interests and needs of
program participants. Subjects on
lighting equipment, operations and
maintenance, and lighting design
will be addressed by local guest
speakers, including Green Lights
and ENERGY STAR Building Allies.
Surveyor Ally
Program Closes
As we are changing the focus of
the program, the Green Lights Sur-
veyor Ally Program will be closed to
new members on November 1,1997.
The last Surveyor Ally exams will
be administered at the Lighting
Upgrade Workshops scheduled in:
Houston, TX Oct. 1-3
White Plains, NY Oct. 15-17
San Francisco, CA TEA
Call the toll-free Hotline at
1-888-STAR-YES (1-888-782-7937)
or visit our web page at
www.epa.gov/greenlights to reserve
your space.
After October, EPA recommends
that lighting professionals pursue a
certification program such as that
offered by the National Council on
Qualifications for the Lighting Pro-
fessions (NCQLP). Those who pass
the NCQLP Lighting Certification
Examination will have demonstrated
an understanding of basic lighting
principles and their application.
They will be entitled to use the
appellation LC (Lighting Certified)
after their name. We will be encour-
aging ENERGY STAR Buildings and
Green Lights Partners to look for the
NCQLP or Surveyor Ally certifica-
tion when selecting a lighting profes-
sional.
The first NCQLP examination
will be held on November 1,1997 in
20 cities across the country. Prepara-
tion review courses begin in early
Fall. For more information, contact
NCQLP at 301-654-2121 or
through their web Page at

Instructions for Completing the ENERGY STAR® Buildings Annual Facility Report
Please submit baseline data for eack facility as soon as possible after joining. In addition, submit one report with "current year" data for each
participating facility eacn year. You should submit this report even if you have not done any projects.
1. General Information
Previously Submitted Green Lights Reports. To assist EPA in accurately tracking your information, indicate whether you have submitted a Green
Lights Report Form for this facility at any time in the past.
Pilot Building. Each Partner and Ally is required to perform a pilot upgrade within the first two years of program tenure.
Type of Upgrade. Indicate whether this facility will undergo a lighting upgrade ONLY. Partners are required to perform whole-building upgrades on 50%
of their eligible square footage, and just Green Lights upgrades on an additional 40% of their eligible square footage.
New Construction. Are you reporting on a building that is newly constructed? If so, enter a "Y" in the New Construction box.
2. Facility Type
Please check only one facility type. If this facility has multiple uses, check the principal use. (Use a separate page for comments if necessary.)
3. Upgrade Cost Information
Line 1: Enter the amount spent on ENERGY STAR Buildings (ESB) upgrades in this facility since the last report for this facility was submitted.
Line 2: Enter the value of all rebates received for work in this facility since the last report for this facility was submitted.
4. Annual Energy Use and Costs, and Baseline Data
In the current year area, simply enter the information found on your utility till for the most recent completed year. By year, we mean your organization's
fiscal year. It is important that you use the same definition of a year each time you report and that each year covers 12 contiguous months. In the baseline
section, enter data covering the three years prior to your joining the ESB program. We encourage you to submit baseline data for each facility as soon as
possible after joining. Once you have submitted the baseline for a building, you do not need to include it in future reports for that facility. For example, if
you joined the program in 1996, you should submit baseline data for 1993-95 as soon as you can. Then, when 1996 ends you should submit "current
year" data for 1996. You should continue to submit "current year" data (once per year) for each facility until your seven years in the program have elapsed.
5. Stages Complete
Enter a percentage complete for each stage, and indicate whether you have finished each stage. For example, suppose you upgraded 50% of this facility's
fan system and no additional profitable upgrades of the system were possible. Under stage 4 you would write "50%" complete and "Y" to show this stage is
done because no more profitable upgrades are possible. If an entire stage is not profitable, write "NP" on the line with the % after it to indicate "not
profitable." Profitable upgrades are defined as having an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 20% or greater.
6. Changes Relative to Baseline Years
Enter your best estimate of changes you have experienced in each category since implementing your upgrades. A significant increase in any of these
categories can help explain an energy use pattern that is rising despite efficiency upgrades.
1. Additional Information
Please print your name and enter a phone number where EPA may contact you if there are questions regarding your report.
Start date for ESB work in this facility. Please enter the date ANY ENERGY STAR Buildings upgrades began in the facility. Even if the work began
several years ago, please enter that date, including the year. (An estimate is fine.)
Are ESB upgrades complete? Please enter a "Y" if you believe that no more ENERGY STAR Buildings work will be done in this facility.
Date ESB work ended in this facility. If you have completed all the work that will be done in this building (that is associated with the program), please
enter the date the work ended. (An estimate is fine.)
