Third Party Energy Efficiency Program FACT SHEET

Monitoring-Based Persistence Commissioning Program Administered by Enovity

Pacific Gas and Electric Company [PG&El has contracted with Enovity, a third party energy efficiency implementation specialist, to implement the Monitoring-Based Persistence Commissioning [MBPCxl Program. The MBPCx Program provides technical services and cash incentives to help PG&E large commercial and institutional customers optimize the energy efficiency of HVAC, lighting and building control systems. Increasing energy efficiency also benefits the environment by conserving our natural resources and reducing air emissions.

The MBIDCx Programs advantage over traditional retrocommissioning [REX] is the installation of a continuous monitoring mechanism, such as end-use metering, to ensure that energy savings benefits are sustained over time and new performance issues are identified as they occur The MBPCx Program may also cover equipment retrofits, while RC)( programs typically do not.

Eligibility Requirements The MBPCx Program is tailored to large commercial and institutional buildings that feature modern Building Automation Systems [BAS] and direct digital controls [DDC] or are willing to upgrade to these systems. Otfice buildings, hotels and motels, community or junior colleges, high-tech facilities, and labs may be eligible.

Next Steps Form more information about the MBPCx Program or to get started, visit www.PersistenceCommissioning.com or call Enovity at 1-415-983-3603. You may also direct your questions to the PG&E Business Customer Service Center at 1-800-468-4743 or visit www.pge.com for more information about energy efficiency programs.

Energy Efficiency Measures Covered The program provides incentives for HVAC equipment retrofits, repairs, and control adjustments as well as lighting controls. Typical projects include:

Adjusting equipment schedules and operating times to match building occupancy. Changing temperature and pressure set points. Fixing broken valves, dampers, sensors, and drives. Installing variable frequency drives on fans and pumps. Replacing equipment such as chillers or boilers.

Comprehensive Services Offered Once the customer has signed a participation agreement, Enovitys team of mechanical and controls engineers wilt: 1. Review a customers portfolio of buildings and help to determine which buildings should

be the priorities for MBPCx.2. Benchmark each selected building using the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager3. Perform a detailed baseline evaluation of the buildings current operations and document

the specifications and performance of HVAC equipment and control systems.4. Identify energy efficiency opportunities by examining equipment schedules and run times,

control set points, and sequences of operations.5. Ouantify the potential energy and cost savings and greenhouse gas reductions for each

measure under consideration.6. Vet contractor proposals or, if the customer chooses, perform implementation and/or

commissioning of upgrades [for a fee].7. Install a continuous monitoring toolset to ensure the persistence of energy savings and

identify additional energy efficiency opportunities.8. Verify the energy savings results after projects are completed.

The MBPCx Program inctudes one year of post-project monitoring to ensure tne persistence of improved energy performance and identify new problems as they occur

Financial incentives are consistent with California statewide customized incentive rates up to 50 percent of the total project cost.
