Response to RequestJoint Chairmen's Report - Operating Budget, April 2011

November 1, 2013

Page 32 of the Joint Chairmen's Report - Operating Budget, April 2011 requests the Department of GeneralServices (DGS) to provide the General Assembly with the following information:

"Annual Report on Energy Conservation Efforts: The State Building Energy Efficiency andConservation Act of 2006 required the Department of General Services (DGS) and the MarylandEnergy Administration to develop energy use index and savings goals for every State agency.Consistent with the State Building Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, the EmPOWERMaryland Energy Efficiency Act of 2008 established a State goal of achieving a 15% reduction inper capita electricity consumption and peak demand by the end of 2015. Beginning November 1,2011, and annually thereafter, DGS shall submit a status report to the committees outlining theState's energy conservation efforts. The report shall include:

• strategies employed by the department to reduce statewide energy consumption;• an update on the implementation of the State's utility database, including the status of

agency compliance in providing missing utility data;• statewide utility costs and consumption data (by agency);• energy use index and savings goals for every State agency; and• the State's level of compliance with the State Building Energy Efficiency and

Conservation Act and the EmPOWER Maryland Energy Efficiency Act."

JCR ANNUAL REPORT ON ENERGY CONSERVATION EFFORTS 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Department of General Service's Office of Energy Performance & Conservation is working to lead byexample in achieving the State's goal--a 15% reduction in energy consumption by 2015. The energyreduction for FY-13 from a FY-08 baseline is provided below.

FY-13 % Energy Reduction from a FY-08 BaselineTotal Energy (MMBTU) 11%

DGS is continuing to track energy consumption in the State's Energy Database and increase thecompleteness of this data. Current energy reduction efforts include energy performance contracts, smallenergy performance contracts, federal energy funding, 16 Agency energy competition, alternative energypower purchase agreements, demand response, and a comprehensive electricity and natural gaspurchasing strategy.

Additional energy reduction opportunities are being considered to ensure achievement of the 2015reduction goals. As new state infrastructure is constructed, additional energy will be consumed by thestate. DGS is working to account for this increase.

LEGISLATION

The Maryland Office of Energy Performance & Conservation within the Department of General Services isassigned the task of implementing part of Governor O'Malley's EmPower Maryland initiative for Stategovernment agencies, calling on the State to reduce its energy consumption by 15% by 2015. This initiativebecame law in 2008 with the enactment of House Bill 374. In addition, we are also tasked withimplementing Senate Bill 267 passed during the 2006 Session of the General Assembly, as the two billscomplement each other.

ENERGY REDUCTION STRATEGIES

DGS has been pursuing five specific strategies to reduce energy consumption and reduce the cost ofenergy within the state government while achieving the reduction associated with the EmPower Marylandinitiative. These strategies include:

1) Energy Tracking: State Energy Database & 16 Agency Energy Competition2) Energy Projects: Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs), small Energy Performance Contracts

(sEPCs) & federal funding3) Alternative Energy: Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)4) Electricity Purchasing: Small Accounts & Large Accounts5) Fuel Switching: Demand Response

Energy TrackingIn order to manage the State's energy cost and consumption, DGS has implemented a State-wide utilitydatabase. This database hosts all State government utility accounts (electricity, gas, water, heating fuel,steam, chilled water, etc.); assigns each utility account to each using agency; includes enough utility billing


to have two years of baseline cost and consumption data; and works with each State agency to verify andcorrect all of their utility data to ensure a complete and accurate State-wide database. This web baseddatabase enables DGS to:

1) See and manage utility consumption2) Ensure accurate billing from suppliers3) Plan, implement and verify energy reduction efforts for all State agencies

DGS has also implemented the 16 Agency Energy Competition. This competition is hosted on DGS'swebsite, under the Energy tab and updated once a year. The Competition ranks the top 16 energyconsuming State Agencies including: DNR, MSDE, MDE, MPA, MVA, MTA, MdTA, SHA, MAA, DHMH,DJS, Milit, MSP, DPSCS, MSA and DGS. Each Agency is shown in terms of energy reduction from 2008 tothe most recently completed fiscal year. Each Agency is judged on its significant buildings, these areoccupied, air-conditioned and operational from 2008 through the most recently completed fiscal year. Theranking allows DGS to focus on under performing Agencies, to assist them with strategies that have workedsuccessfully for similar Agencies.

Energy ProjectsDGS has been actively promoting Energy Performance Contracting (EPC). There are currently 33 EPCsState-wide in various stages, with State agencies including: the Stadium facilities, State tunnels andbridges, 36 State office, government buildings and courthouses, major corrections facilities, major Statecollege campuses, 20 State Police barracks, Veterans and Agriculture department buildings, in addition toa major State hospital with 36 separate buildings.

Currently, there are 4 projects under construction, 2 projects undergoing Phase 1, 2 projects in proposalstages and 17 projects which have been completed. DGS projects by the end of 2014 the current 4 projectsstill under construction will be complete. The projects which have been approved and are underway havean estimated value of $203.9 million. The costs are to be paid from annual guaranteed energy savings(cost avoidance) of over $21 million.

In additional to the traditional Energy Performance Contract program, which the State has been operatingsince the 1990's, DGS created a smaller version of this program. This new version is a small business setaside with a project limit of $1 Million, where the traditional program projects are typically in the $5-$10Million Range with no upper limit. This new smaller program was released at the end of FY13. The pilotproject for this program will start in FY14. This new program is envisioned to help with smaller projectsutilizing the State Agency Loan Program (SALP) which is administered through the Maryland EnergyAdministration (MEA).

In FY13, DGS was the recipient of Federal Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant (EECBG) funding,administered through MEA, used to conduct a few small, fast paced projects. DGS's energy engineeringstaff investigated project leads, provided energy audits and created scopes in order to competitivelyprocure 3 energy projects. Projects included lighting retrofits for the DGS managed Prince George'sDistrict Court/Multi-Service Center and the Maryland Department of Education's Library for the Blind.Additionally, the Military received occupancy sensors for several of their facilities and lighting controls forthe parking garage at the 5th regiment armory.


Alternative EnergyDGS utilizes the future purchase of electricity in order to implement long term Power Purchase Agreements(PPAs) for renewable energy, as part of the state's electricity purchasing portfolio. This arrangement allowsthe State to purchase renewable energy resources without an upfront cost. There are PPAs in place at fourDGS managed buildings.

• Tawes State Office Buildings (4 Buildings) - Annapolis - 126 kW• John R. Hargrove, Sr. District Court & Multi-Service Center - Baltimore - 106 kW• Elkton District Court & Multi-Service Center - Elkton - 74 kW• Ellicott City District Court & Multi-Service Center - Ellicott City - 126 kW

PPAs are also in place through the "Generating Clean Horizons" project to provide approximately 13.8% ofthe state's annual electricity from renewable sources. The State and USM will receive 217,115 MWh/year(wind and solar).

These contracts include:• Emmitsburg Solar - 13 MW of Solar power for 12,968 MWh/year. Delivery began 12/12.• Roth Rock Wind - 10 MW of Wind power for an annual 30,605 MWh/year. Delivery began 8/11.• Pinnacle - 55.2 MW of Wind power for an annual 173,542 MWh/year. Delivery began 8/12.

The "Clean Bay" program, a power purchasing strategy developed in conjunction with the UniversitySystem of Maryland, Maryland Energy Administration, Maryland Department of Agriculture and MarylandDepartment of the Environment, will allow the State to purchase energy generated from poultry manure. InFY13 this project was recommended for award and contract negotiations with the recommended vendorhave been on-going. Once complete this program will purchase roughly 1% of the States power.

Electricity PurchasingDGS has developed an overall electricity purchasing strategy, in conjunction with USM, for Stategovernment. This enables the leveraging of combined purchasing power of the State, which uses 1.5 billionkWh per year. The total State electricity load and associated accounts are split into two parts: one part withroughly 70% of the load and containing 57 accounts, and the second part with approximately 30% of theload and 4,000 accounts. Part one, for the large loads, DGS works through a portfolio to supply nearly 1billion kWh of electricity annually to State agencies. Blocks of electricity are purchased throughout the yearto cover needs, in accordance with the State set strategy. This strategy is successfully saving the Stateapproximately $20 million each year. Part two, electric supply for the small load accounts (about 0.5 billionkWh) is purchased through a reverse auction process. The successful auction in summer 2011 is savingthe state approximately $11 million over the three year term.

Fuel SwitchingDGS has pursued a strategy of Electricity Demand Response. In this effort, DGS manages peak demandby reducing consumption at critical summer days. DGS along with TSU, UMB, MAA, UMCP, UMBC andMSA are participants in demand response programs. Since 2008, DGS received $972,879 in net paymentsfor program participation.


Work on the State's Comprehensive Utility Bill Management Services contract started in January 2008. Thesystem is currently enabling State agencies to monitor, view, and analyze the ongoing energy consumptionand cost for each State owned facility, where each agency energy manager has daily, secure, and onlineaccess to the utility data of their agency. Based on the data provided, DGS is able to assist and adviseother state agencies on energy conservation efforts and implementation of energy performance contracting.DGS is also able to measure and verify energy saved from completed energy performance contracts.Population of the database is approximately 95% complete, and DGS has had an ongoing effort workingwith most state agency energy representatives in order to verify and "clean up" the database.

In order to determine the completeness of the States Energy Database, the data is compared to theDepartment of Budget & Management's (DBM) utility expenditures data. DBM tracks the cost of utilityexpenses by agency and by utility type; however DBM does not track consumption. Utility cost can includeitems that would not be included in utility consumption. For example, there is a cost associated withinitiating a new utility service, but this cost is not related to utility consumption. Cost and consumption areanticipated to be close, but not exactly the same, therefore DGS uses the comparison with DBM's data witha variance expectation of +/- 10%, When a variance outside of +/- 10% is discovered DGS works with theagency to locate missing accounts and bills and to get the data into the State Energy Database,

Figure 1 provides the costs of energy, as reported by DBM per Agency for FY 13, This information iscompared to the State's Utility Database.

Figure 1: Oepartment of Budget & Management (OBM) compiles the costs associated with utilities byAgency for FY13,

Figure 2 provides a comparison of the States Utility Database vs, DBM's data, both sources are comparedin terms of dollars, This comparison is used to locate discrepancies in the data, These discrepancies canbe caused by missing data, mis-assigned accounts, inconsistencies in the way Agencies code their energypurchases, or even simple typographical errors, The miscellaneous category is included by DBM but, is nota category within the States Energy Database, therefore the variance shown in this category is high, SomeAgencies may not code utility purchases in a manner consistent with other Agencies, resulting in a positivevariance, as can be seen in the MD Department of Veterans Affairs,

A comparison of Figure 2 of this FY13 report to the FY12 report highlights a marked improvement in datacompletion levels in the database. FY12 saw a 15% variance in cost data when comparing DBM data tothe State's Energy Database, FY13 saw a reduction to 9,6% variance, Increased communication andcooperation among State Agencies and dedicated staff in the Energy Office may be among the reasons forthis improvement.

Due to the labor intensiveness of searching for and sorting past data, DGS is accepting the 2008 and 2009data as complete, to be used as baseline data for comparison with current and future years, DGS is nowfocusing on the collection and accuracy of data for current and ongoing accounts.

Figure 2: The % variation between DGS's State Energy Database when compared to DBM data for thecost of utilities, sorted by agency, for FY13.

STATE UTILITY COSTS & CONSUMPTION

Figure 3 reports the energy consumption of each state agency in FY13, as calculated within the StateEnergy Database. To date the data is not normalized based on weather conditions, weather can causevariations in energy usage from year to year. Future reports are anticipated to be normalized for weather.

Some agencies have limited or no data in the States Energy Database, there are two (2) main causes; (1)the agency neglected to provide the data to DGS or (2) the agency is exempt from utility data. Exemptionsoccur when the Agency occupies a leased space from a non sub-metered building in either a privatecommercial facility or within another state agencies facility. For example, the Maryland EnergyAdministration (MEA), currently leases space within a private commercial building in Annapolis, due to theexisting condition of the facility sub-metering for MEA's space was not possible, as a result the energyusage is an agreed upon amount included in their lease arrangement. The Maryland Department ofPlanning (MOP) is an example of an Agency occupying space within another Agencies facilities, MOP hasoffices in the State Center Complex. The State Center Complex, located in Baltimore, is operated by DGSand is not sub-metered per tenant space, hence there is limited energy consumption which can be solelyattributed to MOP in the State's Energy Database.

When Figure 3 for this FY13 report is compared to the FY12 report, assessments can be made of energyreduction or increase for specific agencies. For example the Department of Public Safety and CorrectionalServices (DPSCS) shows a significant reduction in energy consumption in the last fiscal year. This energyreduction can be attributed to their Energy Performance Contract at their Jessup facilities, which finishedconstruction 6/30/2012.

Figure 3: The consumption of total energy (MMBTU), sorted by agency, for FY13, along with the totalcosts of that consumption. Data was collected from the DGS State Energy Database.

AGENCY SAVINGS GOALS

DGS is focusing on the 16 agencies representing over 80% of state energy usage. Based on the energyusage and reductions at these 16 agencies, DGS has initiated the Agency Energy Competition. Thiscompetition can be viewed on DGS's website within the Energy tab. This competition will provide foropportunities for behavioral energy training in conjunction with MEA and allow for a simpler diagnosis ofunderperforming agencies.

While all agencies are showing decreases in energy use compared to their 2008 baseline, there is a widerange of the energy decreases between agencies, from 17% to 1% for total energy reduction. Bothunderperforming Agencies, MVA & DJS, are in the process of developing Energy Performance Contracts inorder to increase their ranking and increase their energy reduction.


STATE BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CONSERVATION ACT AND EmPOWER MARYLANDENERGY EFFICIENCY ACT COMPLIANCE

The State is on track to lead by example for the EmPOWER Maryland Energy Efficiency Act. Figure 4shows the actual to date from FY08 through FY13 and projected energy reduction from FY14 throughFY15. Total energy usage shows a consistent decline from FY09 to FY13.

Derailments to the projected energy reductions could be caused by weather, State infrastructure growth orchanges to State operations. A severe winter or summer would drastically impact the energy consumptionfor State facilities for the year in which it occurs, this impact could be eliminated through weathernormalization of the data. An increase to State infrastructure would result in increased energyconsumption, examples of increases include new facilities or acquisition of existing facilities, increasedtrains on the light rail or metro, or new roads and associated lights. Changes to State operations impactingenergy reduction goals include changing existing lease structures to require sub-metering of State leasedspace or increases to operating hours of services.
