Seminar 37 -- Performance Contracting in Public Schools: Energy Conservation Methods that Lead to Superior Returns PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

As Pennsylvania's public schools face the competing challenges of budget deficits and aging buildings, they seek energy-based performance contracts that fund capital upgrades through cash flows created by guaranteed energy and operational savings. By managing contractual energy guarantees, performance contractors determine what energy conservation measures lead to superior returns. In this seminar, one contractor shares best practices learned through retrofitting more than 15 million square feet of K-12 school space. Its case studies illustrate approaches to lowering Energy Use Intensity (EUI) through upgrades to HVAC, lighting, and building envelopes plus small-scale renewable energy systems. Several unique geothermal design concept outcomes are shared.
