Making Municipal Facilities Energy
Efficient
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• Make capital improvements to old or outdated building systems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
Performance Contracting Colorado Revised Statute 29.12.5 allows customers to:
2. Select a firm to study, design and implement improvements and associated operational savings across the infrastructure
3. Utilize operational savings streams to pay for capital improvements up front
4. 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
Performance Contracting Flow
1. Assessment and development of available projects and efficiencies
3. Contracts with ESCO
5. Gets funding to pay ESCO
7. ESCO designs and implements project
9. ESCO guarantees savings stream
If savings fall through, ESCO covers the difference
11.City uses savings to repay funding

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
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
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
