The document summarizes the Municipal Energy Program (MEP) funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The MEP aims to improve energy efficiency in municipal buildings through energy audits and conservation projects. Cuyahoga County was awarded $5.7 million and set aside $3 million for the MEP. Eligible municipalities can apply for 100% grants for energy audits or up to 80% matching grants for conservation projects.

35. ASHRAE LEVEL 3 ENERGY AUDITS ( INVESTMENT GRADE ) Common before ESPC final project proposals
36. WHAT AN ASHRAE LEVEL 2 EM AUDIT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ‘ PRELIMINARY ’ energy assessments are only marketing tools for ESCOs. Not even an ASHRAE Level 1 Energy Audit
37. WHAT AN ASHRAE LEVEL 2 EM AUDIT LOOKS LIKE DETAILED ENERGY STUDY with each ECM evaluated based on actual operating conditions, actual utility consumption and cost for each building, existing automatic and manual controls, hours of operation, energy consumption model, ECM recommendations and options, preliminary design, capital cost estimate, system capacity requirements, using conservative energy savings calculations and alternative ECMs
