OPT/ON C Verification techniques involve utility whole building meter analysis, reviewing overalll energy use, and identifying the effects of energy projects an a facility. Energy use before and after a retrofit project is compared to determine savings. The measurement of energy consumption and the cost savings associated with installed energy management equipment are a comparison between the energy consumed during the, current calendar period and the baseline calendar period. It consists of only the energy bills applicable to the buildings under energy management. Once the program is in place, energy use is taken from current utility bills. OPT/ON D Computer models are developed that use simulations of baseline and post -installation energy use to determine savings. For this project we would recommend using Option A. We would measure the output of the solar array for two years minimum. If after two years the output does not meet or exceed the guarantee amount, then additional years of measurement will be performed until two consecutive years of output meets or exceeds the guarantee. In this way, South Bend can be certain that the guarantee is met, and the project is riot burdened by ongoing measurement &verification that isn't needed. Stipulated Savings We understand the reluctance to accept stipulated savings by our customers and avoid them except in cases where it makes sense. An example of this would be the savings from reduced bulbs and ballast replacement after a lighting retrofit to long life LED fixtures, Because it would be a burden on the customer to track the bulbs and replacement costs that were saved, we generally agree up front to the savings this would generate. For now, this project doesn't include such measures and therefore we do not anticipate stipulated savings on this project.
