Lighting: Use Sensors & Bi-level Lighting Occupancy or motion sensors turn lights on
when people enter the area Photo Sensors sense light and turn lights on
and off based on light levels inside and out Bi-level lighting dims lights when
no one is present Good for areas
where light levels have to be maintained and not off to meet code

A Few Measures of Efficiency
SEER: Measures AC efficiency (split systems) EER: Measures AC efficiency (PTACs) EF: Measures appliance efficiency, including
water heaters

Replacing HVAC
Buy high-efficiency equipment 14.5 SEER for split system HVACs 10.8 EER for heat pump PTACs
Have the equipment sized to load, ask your engineer to show the math (Ask for the ACCA Manual J report) Measured in tons of cooling
Use R410 Refrigerant

Benchmarking: Read Your Utility BillLook at the utility bill and answer the following
questions.1. What is the total bill amount?2. What is the invoice date?3. What was the electric consumption in kWh?
What was the demand in kW?4. Look at the account breakdown on the
second page.1. What are the different per-kW charges? (Identify
charge type and amount.)2. What are the different per-kWh charges? (Identify
