Measurement and verification for utility energy efficiency programs. Pulse Energy was joined by BC Hydro's Graham Henderson to discuss the Continuous Optimization Program that Graham manages for BC Hydro and the Measurement and Verification that Pulse Energy provides for the program

1. Does your building have a pulse? Measurement & Verification Webinar March 3rd, 2010

2. Agenda Graham Henderson BC Hydro’s Continuous Optimization Program David Helliwell Lessons Learned, M&V Challenges Q&A M&V with Pulse energy management software

3. Continuous Optimization Program Overview Graham Henderson Program Manager Continuous Optimization Program BC Hydro

4. Description The Continuous Optimization program targets operational savings in the commercial sector The program consists of two primary components Retro-commissioning Energy Management Information System

5. Description (Continued) Positioned as a commercial sector “Monitoring Targeting & Reporting” program. Program offer: Fully funded retro-commissioning study Fully funded EMIS Customer implements bundle of measures up to 2 year simple payback

6. Energy Management Information System Most important aspects of an EMIS: Measurement & verification Exception reporting Customer response to date to program offer

7. Pulse Energy’s Role David Helliwell Co-Founder & CEO Pulse Energy

9. Energy consulting and retrofits are important, but usually slow and expensive

11. Customers appreciate a turnkey solution that provides advanced energy use information

12. Utility programs must have resources in place to walk customers through the initial gap analysis and program implementation

14. Building owners who don’t have systems in place to effectively measure performance will lag the market and incur additional costs

15. Lack of trained energy efficiency engineers is a constraint to the pace of commissioning programs
