The On-Target Process consists of several elements working in harmony. To reap the
benefits of the Program, we use the Energy Services Process as follows:

Step 1: Assess
Metering, Utility Bills, Energy Star Ranking,Facility Audits, and energy engineering
Analysis are used to identify changes, estimate savings, and probable cost. Potential
improvements meeting client objectives and economic hurdles become part of a
[multi-year] Facility Improvement Action Plan. Financing is determined. Grants and Gifts
may be sought.

Step 2: Implement
Once the elements of the Action Plan are authorized, implementation begins. The Plan
could contain Capital Projects, no-cost/low-cost Operational Changes, use of the
AutoSchedulerTM , electric Demand Response, as well as assistance with gas and
electricity Procurement.

Step 3: Run-Right
The third step involves monitoring of operations, promptly identifying and correcting
inefficiencies. BudgetWorks may be used to set [and achieve] performance
expectations. The HVAC Health Check-Up may be used in an on-going manner to
discover HVAC inefficiencies and faults. Energy Star Ranking is used as a scorecard.
Savings are tracked. EnergyBudget forecast services determine the probable cost of
energy through the end of this year and the next. Energy Procurement Services are
on-going.

Once the On-Target Process is in place, the Sustained Benefits of Cost Savings,
Facility Renewal, Energy Education, and Energy Awareness may be realized.

On-Target/BUDGETWORKS -- a web application that puts buildings on energy
budgets is now available. It uses a [near real-time] data feed from AcquiSuite data
recorders.

On-Target/BUDGETWORKS can do the following:
1. Monitor actual energy use and cost (with 15-minute updates).
2. Calculate energy and cost savings relative to a Baseline.
3. Simulate the impact of energy conservation changes before they are made.
4. Calculate the "slip", if any, of actual use after the changes are made.
5. BUDGETWORKS puts buildings on an energy budget. If Personnel are expected to
operate the facility in accord with the budget, operational savings will occur and
buildings will continue to operate at peak efficiency.

On-Target/BUDGETWORKS is the "killer app" of energy services and performance
contracting. It can be used to:
- store the results of an audit,
- simulate present performance,
- calculate the energy/cost impact of various changes before they are implemented,
- track actual savings after implementation, and
- encourage efficient operation.

On-Target/BUDGETWORKS is unique.

		*On-Target* Process


		The On-Target Process consists of three steps working in harmony. To reap the benefits of the Program, we use the Energy Services Process as follows: Step 1: Assess Metering, utility bills, facility audits, Before and After computer modeling of facility energy use with Energy Plus, and energy engineering analysis are used to identify changes, estimate savings and probable cost. Potential improvements meeting client objectives and economic hurdles become part of a [multi-year] Facility Improvement Action Plan. Step 2: Implement Once the elements of the Action Plan are authorized, implementation begins. The Plan could contain energy- saving capital projects, no-cost/low-cost operational changes, an electricity demand response strategy, as well as assistance with gas and electricity procurement. Financing is determined. Grants, rebates, tax incentives [i.e. EPACT], and gifts may also be sought. Step 3: Run-Right Verify. The third step involves monitoring of operations, promptly identifying and correcting inefficiencies. BudgetWorks may be used in Step 3 to verify performance expectations. The Energy Plus Before model can become the Baseline Budget of Budgetworks. The Energy Plus After model can become the Operations Budget of Budgetworks. Budgetworks may be used to calculate actual savings, and identify operations waste. Once the On-Target Process is in place, the sustained benefits of cost savings, facility renewal, energy awareness, and a smaller carbon footprint may be realized.

Step-3: Run-Right. Verify operation. A Budgetworks installation at IHBC. Budgetworks is used to identify energy waste and verify savings. Waste identification: Note the Air Conditioning was on at 2AM.

Step-2: Implement. Building automation system installation at River Glen Presbyterian Church.

Step-1: Assess. Energy Plus model of Gabriel Environmental Services in Chicago. Energy Plus was used to quantify energy savings potential.
