Frank Phillips presented on making municipal facilities in the City of Lafayette more energy efficient through performance contracting. The goals were to reduce utility costs and emissions while supporting capital improvements and the Facility Maintenance team. Performance contracting allows selecting a firm to study and implement efficiency projects, with operational savings used to pay for improvements. A $1.27 million project identified 39 efficiency projects across infrastructure that will save $116,414 annually over 10 years through a variety of upgrades like lighting, HVAC, insulation, and traffic lights.

2. Project Goals Support City Council goals focused on providing high quality cost effective services to citizens and on energy efficiency Reduce the cost of City utilities and emissions to the environment Make capital improvements to old or outdated building systems Support the Facility Maintenance team with tools and strategies to help them become even more efficient

3. Performance Contracting Colorado Revised Statute 29.12.5 allows customers to: Select a firm to study, design and implement improvements and associated operational savings across the infrastructure Utilize operational savings streams to pay for capital improvements up front Use a mutually agreed upon guaranteed performance management program to ensure savings are real and are available to pay for financing over time Infrastructure Facilities Utilities Public Works Parks & Recreation Streets & Traffic Real Savings Energy Alternative energy Operations & Maintenance

4. Performance Contracting Flow Assessment and development of available projects and efficiencies Contracts with ESCO Gets funding to pay ESCO ESCO designs and implements project ESCO guarantees savings stream If savings fall through, ESCO covers the difference City uses savings to repay funding Customer ESCO Funding 2 3 4 & 5 6 1

5. Performance Contracting Process Decision to Move Forward Procurement Implementation Performance Management Audit & Development Feasibility Assessment Project Review & Approval

6. Audit & Development Reviewed City infrastructure Facilities Water and wastewater plants Traffic lights Uncovered 69 potential improvements Focused on 39 final improvements that met City criteria 10 year financed payback Focus on energy conservation and operational efficiency

7. Project Metrics Self-funded energy performance contract Economics $1,271,796 project $116,414 annual savings 10 year financed payback $70,570 rebates $102,500 capital avoidance Includes full development and three years of measurement and verification costs Value Use minimal capital to fund over $1,200,000 in efficiencies throughout City infrastructure 25.4% energy saved in one project Annually saves 966 tons of carbon dioxide emissions Equivalent to planting 2,899 trees, heating 174 homes or taking 420 cars off the road

8. Project Scope Energy efficient lighting systems Occupancy sensors as part of the lighting management system Infiltration improvements that add insulation and sealants to attics, walls, around doors and around windows Building automation and energy management control systems Premium efficiency HVAC equipment Solar technologies (both electric and thermal) on the recreation center roof Methane gas to heating generation (biogas) at the wastewater treatment plant High efficiency LED traffic lights throughout the City
