Contained within each plan ate the calculation formula: for deteruinirlg energy ,avings, including adjustments to the energy baseline during the Guarantee Period to address routine and non - routine adjustments. Baseline adjustments for routine and notl- routine adjustments are discussed below: Routine Adjustments Routine adjustments are changes to the baseline energy consumption due to factors which are both significant to the energy consumption and van- predictably. Factors resulting in routine adjustments include, but are not limited to, weather, building temperature setpoint, hours of operation, and mailer Of Occupants. Routine adjustments, if required according to the respective measurement and verification plan, will be performed annually and will affect the performance period in which the adjustment occurs only, and will not be continued into later performance periods. If routine adjustments result in a reduction of energy savings and are beyond the control of Aneresco, the value of the mlvings gu:mmtec will be reduced by the magnitude of the routine adjustment.

Customer is obligated to ramify Anx•reseo when material changes occur within the facilities and provide additional information, if required, to perform baseline adjustments, including, but not limited to, equipment submittals, building plans, and dates that such changes occurred.
