AI summary The text mentions that the Custom program includes four services: Retrofit, Pay-for-Performance, New Construction, and Building Optimization.
Building Optimization A total of six Building Optimization projects reported savings in 2023. Five of them were single-year projects (started and completed in 2023), while the other project claimed partial savings, having been started in 2...
AI summary Six Building Optimization projects reported energy savings in 2023, with five being single-year projects and one showing partial savings. Energy savings per project were slightly lower (3%) compared to 2022, with total gross energy and peak demand savings decreasing by 30% and 53%, respectively.
6.2.1 Project Review Findings All six completed Building Optimization projects were reviewed by the Evaluator. As a result of the review process, the Evaluator adjusted the energy savings of two projects and the demand savings of all six p...
AI summary The Evaluator reviewed six completed Building Optimization projects and adjusted energy and demand savings based on findings. One project had a minor upward adjustment, another had a 50% reduction in energy savings due to an incorrect baseline assumption, and all six projects had demand savings recalculated. No average adjustment ratio was used, and total savings were calculated by summing individual project results.
6.2.2 Interactive Effects Since interactive effects vary significantly from one Building Optimization project to another, they are either taken into account in the project engineering calculations used to establish gross savings or include...
AI summary Interactive effects in Building Optimization projects are either considered in engineering calculations or whole building consumption data. For six reviewed projects, no interactive effects were observed, so no adjustments were made to gross savings.
tion, air compression, air compression leak detection, efficient motors, HVAC, and process equipment. Some building envelope measures were also included but provided only limited (2%) tracked savings. The Pay-for-Performance program, added...
AI summary The BNI Custom Incentives Program includes Pay-for-Performance, New Construction, and Building Optimization components. Pay-for-Performance, expanded in 2022, offers incentives tied to peak demand savings, with 22 new participants in 2023 but delayed savings until 2024/2025. New Construction saw 15 completed projects in 2023, down from 2022, due to rising costs and labor shortages. Building Optimization completed 5 single-year projects and 1 multi-year project, focusing on energy efficiency improvements.
