Conducting Energy Audits - Technical Approach

APC proposes to conduct energy Inspections in accordance with the HUD requirements as defined by federal Register Notice 24 CFR Part 965, Subpart C Energy Audits and Energy Conservation Measures.

The actual energy audit and physical needs assessment will be prepared to conform the strict requirements as prescribed in 24 CFR Part 965, NJAC 17:27, HUD handbook 7485.2 and as outlined in the RFP.

The scope of work requested by this RFP includes a conventional HUD energy, water and waste audit plus the three new tasks, as follows:

An investigation of the potential for reducing costs and /or improving service by procuring alternate services of Gs and electricity in a deregulated marketplace.
An examination of the prospects for energy efficiency financing (also known as energy performance contracting) at one or more of the developments within PHA's portfolio.
An investigation of possible cost reduction options associated with our waste disposal of solid waste, since waste disposal savings can now be accommodated within an energy performance contract.

APC intends to conduct the proposed scope of work in three separate phases

Report Development

Our approach to the data gathering will be both quantitative and qualitative:

ECM's will be determined on a per development basis. A cost and simple payback period will be calculated and recommendations on the economic feasibility of the selected ECM's and their implementation will be provided.

The calculation procedure leads to an approximation of what the individual ECM/ECO will save. The payback period is calculated by dividing the cost of implementing the ECM by the annual cost savings.

The cost effectiveness of an ECM is determined by the payback period.

A preliminary report outlining our findings will be provided for initial review. The report will summarize the existing conditions of the buildings and dwelling(s), the condition of the utility infrastructure and support system of each development.
