temperature control systems and equipment, air distribution systems and equipment,
outdoor ventilation systems and equipment; exhaust systems and equipment; hot water
systems, electric motors, transmission and drive systems, special systems (kitchen/dining
equipment, etc.), renewable energy systems, other energy using systems, water
consuming systems (restroom fixtures, water fountains, irrigation systems, etc.)
Perform "late-night" surveys or continuous data logging tasks outside of normal business
hours or on weekends to confirm building system and occupancy schedules, if deemed
necessary.
Develop a preliminary list of potential energy and water saving measures. Consider the
following for each system:
Comfort and maintenance problems
Energy use, loads, proper sizing, efficiencies and hours of operation
Current operating condition
Remaining useful life
Feasibility of system replacement
Hazardous materials and other environmental concerns

Establish base year consumption by examining utility bills for the past three years for
electricity, gas, steam, water, etc. Present base year consumption in terms of energy units
(kWh, kW, ccf, Therms, gallons, or other units used in bills), in terms of dollars, and in
terms of dollars per square foot. Describe the process used to determine the base year
(averaging, selecting most representative contiguous 12 months, etc.). Consult with

billings that could skew the base year representation. Contractor will account for periods
of time when equipment was broken or malfunctioning in calculating the base year.
Estimate loading, usage and/or hours of operation for all major end uses of total facility
consumption including, but not limited to: lighting, heating, cooling, HVAC motors
(fans and pumps), plug loads, and other major energy and water using equipment.
Where loading or usage are highly uncertain (including variable loads such as cooling),
Contractor will use its best judgment, spot measurements or short-term monitoring.
Contractor should not assume that equipment run hours equal the operating hours of the
building(s) or facility staff estimates.
Reconcile annual end-use estimated consumption with the annual base year consumption.
This reconciliation will place reasonable "real-world" limits on potential savings.

comprehensive approach including, but not limited to: lighting systems,
heating/ventilating/air conditioning equipment and distribution systems, controls systems,
building envelope, motors, kitchen equipment, pools, renewable energy systems, other
special equipment, irrigation systems, and water saving devices.
Identify measures which appear likely to be cost effective and therefore warrant detailed
analysis
For each measure, prepare a preliminary estimate of energy or water cost savings
including description of analysis methodology, supporting calculations and assumptions
used to estimate savings.
Meet with Eagle County to present preliminary findings.
Describe how the projected project economics meet the Montezuma CountyEagle
County's terms for completing the Technical Energy Audit and Proposal Contract.
Discuss assessment of energy use, savings potential, project opportunities, and potential
for developing an energy performance contract. Develop a list of recommended
measures for further analysis. The Eagle County's rejection of calculations of savings,
potential savings allowed, or project recommendations shall be at the risk of the
Contractor.
Analyze savings and costs for each energy and water saving measure.
Follow the methodology of ASHRAE or other nationally -recognized authority following
the engineering principle(s) identified for each retrofit option
Utilize assumptions, projections and baselines which best represent the true value of
future energy or operational savings. Include accurate marginal costs for each unit of
savings at the time the audit is performed, documentation of material and labor cost
savings, adjustments to the baseline to reflect current conditions at the facility,
calculations which account for the interactive effects of the recommended measures.
Use best judgment regarding the employment of instrumentation and recording durations
so as to achieve an accurate and faithful characterization of energy use
Use markups and fees stated above in all cost estimates.
Develop a preliminary measurement and verification plan for each measure
Follow additional guidelines for analysis and report preparation given below
Include cost to provide services and complete application for Energy Star Label., LEED-
EB certification for Existing Buildings, or other certification. Also include cost for
EPA's Tools for Schools or other such program related to improved air quality.
