Commercial and Industrial Energy Audit and studies

Commercial and Industrial Energy Audit
Detect energy waste in your building and plan for an energy-efficient future with a free audit. Alliant Energy sends a certified energy expert to your facilities to perform an Energy Survey and Analysis using the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) guidelines. According to ASHRAE, the objective of the energy audit process is to identify and develop modifications that will reduce energy use and/or cost of operating a building. The process includes the following steps: 1. Collect and analyze historical energy use. 2. Study the building and its operational characteristics. 3. Identify potential modifications that will reduce the energy use and/or cost.

Feasibility Study
A Feasibility Study provides a detailed analysis for capital-intensive projects. The study analyzes your current energy use, and then documents the associated expenses, energy savings and cost effectiveness of the potential energy-efficient project. As part of the program, Alliant Energy reimburses 50 percent of the study cost up to a maximum $7,500. If your company adopts 75 percent or more of the total energy savings identified in the study within 18 months, Alliant Energy will reimburse the remaining cost of the study up to $7,500. Pre-approval is required for all reimbursements. Completed projects may also qualify for Alliant Energys Custom Rebate program.
Please note: Alliant Energy does not fund Feasibility Studies for: New construction Pilot projects Research and development Financing the implementation of a project including projects funded through Performance Contracting Analyzing new technology Implementing a product/equipment to see if it will perform Process changes not related to energy

Commercial and Industrial Energy Audit and studies

Terms
Energy audits and studies are available to retail electric and/or natural gas commercial industrial customers of Alliant Energy. Contact your key account manager or call the Business Resource Center at 1-866-ALLIANT.

4. Perform an engineering and economic analysis of potential modifications. 5. Prepare a rank-ordered list of appropriate modifications. 6. Prepare a report to document the analysis process and results. The key elements of the Commercial and Industrial Energy Audit report include: Building description including major features and energy-using systems resulting from on-site observation, measurement and engineering calculations Twelve month billing analysis End-use breakdown to determine allocation of energy consumption Benchmarking comparing energy and cost indices of the building with database statistics Description of facility and energy management improvements with estimated costs and savings If further analysis is recommended, an investment-level Feasibility Study or Retro-Commissioning Study may be suggested.

Retro-Commissioning Study (RCx)

Save up to 20 percent of your annual energy usage by fine-tuning your systems. An RCx Study identifies ways to optimize the facilitys direct digital controls (DDC) or process controls. Most solutions will be no- to low-cost operational and maintenance adjustments that can result in significant energy and cost savings. An RCx Study provides: Information on reprogramming the buildings DDC or process controls A design and control sequence with detailed instructions for reprogramming the controls Real-time verification to assure all controls are working properly Building management training to maximize the new system parameters One-year comparison of pre- and post- RCx Study energy and cost savings Alliant Energy will reimburse 50 percent of the RCx Study cost, after the study is completed. Once projects with a combined payback of two years or less are completed and verified, Alliant Energy reimburses the remaining 50 percent of the study cost. You should consider an RCx Study if your building meets the following requirements: Building is a minimum of 20,000 square feet. Has a central DDC system or digital process controls two to 10 years of age System is free of major problems requiring capital repairs.

Custom Rebates
Not all building and remodeling projects fit within a predetermined package. Our Custom Rebates program may work for you if you are: Looking for new or innovative ways to reduce energy demand Combining more than one type of high-efficiency equipment to make improvements Considering a project that is process related Implementing upgrades which are not eligible for the Prescriptive Rebates program. Custom Rebates are generally offered for retrofit and replacement projects. Energy-efficiency equipment installed as part of a new construction project may qualify for the Custom Rebates program. However we encourage you to look into the Commercial New Construction program before construction begins to maximize your rebates, receive free energy design assistance and additional cash incentives for owners and developers.

Baseline guidelines
For a retrofit or replacement project, the baseline used to calculate a Custom Rebate is generally the energy usage for the equipment being replaced. Energy dollar savings for retrofit and replacement projects are actual savings as calculated within the following guidelines: New equipment must meet minimum efficiency levels and be pre-approved by Alliant Energy. Savings resulting directly from reduced production or shutdown are not eligible. The baseline for replacing inoperable or worn equipment is the energy consumption of the equipment in its original condition. Projects must demonstrate permanency or sustainability of savings. Savings when production levels change shall be calculated based on a per-unit energy consumption before and after implementation. The baseline for new construction Custom Rebate projects varies by equipment type.

Ineligible projects
Equipment powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind and biomass, are not eligible for the Custom Rebates program. Renewable system rebates are available through our Renewable Rebates program detailed on page 19. Energy savings associated with fuel switching are also ineligible for the Custom Rebates program. Fuel switching is defined as changing the power source for an existing function or process, such as switching from a fired system to an electric-powered system. Establishing a projects baseline and calculating a rebate are not always simple tasks. In addition, not all projects qualify for an incentive. Before making a commitment to proceed with a project, pre-approval must be obtained from Alliant Energy.

Custom Rebates
Terms
Custom Rebates are available to retail electric and/or natural gas commercial, industrial and agricultural customers of Alliant Energy. Equipment powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind and biomass, are not eligible. Energy savings associated with fuel switching are not eligible. Fuel switching is defined as changing the power source for an existing function or process, such as switching from a gas-fired system to an electric-powered system.

Custom Rebates are offered on a variety of high-efficiency measures including (but not limited to): Compressed air systems Energy management control systems Heating , cooling and ventilation systems Pipe insulation Lighting fixtures and controls Processing equipment Refrigeration systems Variable frequency drives Ventilation system Waste heat recovery systems Other equipment using electricity or natural gas supplied by Alliant Energy

Incentive calculation
Before purchasing or installing a project, please consult your Alliant Energy representative who will establish baseline information and calculate your estimated incentive. Incentives are paid after the project is completed, and in most cases, are equal to 150 percent of the annual energy dollar savings. The program requires a minimum two-year payback after incentive. This is referred to as Net Payback in the formula below. Annual energy dollar savings are equal to the estimated savings you will see on your utility bill.

How do I apply?
Contact your Alliant Energy key account manager, or call the Business Resource Center at 1-866-ALLIANT. Alliant Energy can help you establish your baseline information and calculate your estimated incentive.

Commercial New Construction

Build in energy savings before construction starts whether its new construction or a major remodel, youll save on energy costs and add investment value to your property. Energy-efficient buildings use less energy, cost less to operate and impact the environment less than conventional buildings. Alliant Energys Commercial New Construction program offers free energy design assistance, design team incentives and customer incentives.

Energy design assistance

This free comprehensive approach to energy savings includes personalized computer energy modeling for your planned building which predicts energy use, suggests energy-saving strategies and projects energy-cost savings. Following the design of the project, the design team will provide a copy of the final construction documents to Alliant Energys consultant. The consultant will review the documents and compare them to the energy-efficiency strategies selected by the owner. The construction documents report allows the owner to adjust energy-saving strategies and to confirm if certain options are no longer being considered. Elimination of certain strategies may result in a lower construction incentive than originally projected during the energy design phase. Once the project is complete, Alliant Energys consultant will conduct an on-site verification and provide a final report to ensure that selected strategies are installed and improving the efficiency of the building. Construction incentives will be paid to the building owner based on the electric and natural gas savings modeled and verified as installed.

Custom Track
Custom Track is ideal for projects with energy savings goals in mind and enough time to integrate new ideas and strategies into the design. Buildings designed in this track are typically modeled to achieve energy savings of 30 to 40 percent greater than Energy Code. Enrollment: Schematic or early design development Energy savings required: 15 percent greater than Energy Code Alliant Energys Commercial New Construction program provides financial incentives to help building projects get started right by optimizing energy-efficiency strategies before construction begins. Building systems optimized through Commercial New Construction energy modeling (in collaboration with design teams) include: Daylighting controls (by space type) Envelope systems Heating and cooling systems Lighting controls and design Load responsive equipment Outside air control systems Window glazing Window layouts Basic services: Energy modeling for efficient strategies as selected by owner and design team, review of construction documents for inclusion of strategies, site verification and monitoring of selected installed strategies, modeling, and daylighting analysis.

Design team incentives

A design team participation incentive based on the square footage of the building is offered to offset all or most of the expense associated with working with our energy consultant. The consultants role is to facilitate design team collaboration on various energy-saving strategies.

Commercial New Construction

Terms
Most new construction and major remodels (replacing multiple major systems) qualify. Must achieve at least 15 percent (Custom Track) or 40 percent (Custom Plus Track) greater than State of Iowa Energy Code Building must receive electricity or electricity and natural gas from Alliant Energy. New commercial buildings and building renovation projects must be located in Alliant Energys Iowa service territory.

Custom Plus Track

Custom Track Plus is intended to help building owners or developers achieve energy savings of 40 to 60 percent greater than Energy Code. Enrollment: Space-type programming phase or just following architect selection Energy savings required: 40 percent* greater than Energy Code Basic services: Energy modeling for efficient strategies as selected by owner and design team, review of construction documents for inclusion of strategies, site verification and monitoring of select installed strategies. This track will also provide modeling for the customers choice of one of the following: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) (Energy & Atmospheric Credit 1) ENERGY STAR Federal tax credits or other energy goals
*Custom Plus Track projects that do not achieve a minimum of 30 percent energy savings greater than Energy Code may receive a reduced construction incentive to offset some of the additional energy design assistance costs associated with early energy modeling and daylighting analysis unique to this track.

Construction incentives
The more energy saved, the more incentive your customer earns. Construction incentives for electric usage range from six cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for 15 percent savings, to 19 cents per kWh for 60 percent plus savings above Energy Code. For natural gas usage, construction incentives range from 60 cents per therm for 15 percent savings, to $1.90 per therm for 60 percent plus savings greater than Energy Code.

Motor management
Motors
Electricity accounts for up to 97 percent of a motors lifetime cost. As a result, purchasing an energy-efficient motor for your operation makes sense in almost every situation: When an existing motor is inefficient When an existing motor fails When installing a new piece of equipment With rebates up to $2,380 per qualifying unit, your investment in an energyefficient motor is even more cost-effective. Its wise to take action before motor failure strikes (and you are forced to choose the quickest replacement, and not the smartest, most energy-efficient replacement). Invest in a highefficiency motor today and take advantage of the following benefits: Reduced energy expense

Additional information:
Motor management plans should be developed based on a set of simple building blocks. Individual building blocks can be included or excluded, implemented in any order, and mixed and matched to suit individual facility needs. They are: Guidelines for proactive repair/replace decision-making Purchasing policies based on life-cycle costing Repair policies based on best practice repair Spare motor inventory Predictive and preventive maintenance planning Motor survey and tracking program By understanding true costs, planning ahead for motor failure and ensuring the right motor is available when needed, companies can significantly improve their bottom line.

Enhanced operational efficiency Lower maintenance costs Less unscheduled downtime Cash incentives from Alliant Energy In order to qualify for a rebate, the motor(s) must meet specific efficiency guidelines.

Variable frequency drives

Does your business use motors for extended hours? Do the motors experience a high rate of load variability (such as centrifugal pumps and fans)? Are your motors performing mechanical throttling, as when used with valves, dampers, etc.? If you answered yes to these questions, consider installing variable speed drives. They match the speed of the motor-driven equipment to the process, simultaneously reducing operating costs and improving overall efficiency. Variable frequency drives (horsepower greater than 5 and less than 200) ......................................................................$30 x horsepower of motor being used
