能源审计
能源审计为投资者提供了对建筑能源使用的全面了解. 能源审计的目的是了解减少能源消耗的机会 & 在增加租户舒适度、健康和安全的同时，降低多户建筑的成本.
能源审计是对建筑物能源支出进行全面管理的一种工具. The 管理 of energy expenditures considers four factors:
-
实现建筑功能和保持居住者舒适度所需的能量
-
The maintenance and retrofit plan for the building
-
Reducing the unit cost of purchased energy
-
Reducing energy consumption
能源 auditing begins by identifying energy end uses and attempts to eliminate end use waste before considering efficiency gains in the primary equipment. 详细程度和目标在不同的多户能源审计类型之间有所不同. 我们公司通常执行ASHRAE能源审计I、II和III级.
以下是 ASHRAE‘s description of the four levels of energy audits:
0级
基准测试: This first analysis consists in a preliminary whole building energy use analysis based on the analysis of the historic utility use and costs and the comparison of the performances of the buildings to those of similar buildings. 通过对所研究的安装进行基准测试，可以确定是否需要进一步分析
1级
Walk-through 能源 audit: The Level I energy audit is a walk-through energy audit that identifies low-cost improvement opportunities or obvious areas of energy waste and inefficiency. 分析包括对已安装设备和运行数据的目视检查和研究. 简要描述了纠正措施，并对实施成本进行了快速估计, potential cost savings and payback. 该报告包括优先考虑效率项目和评估更详细的能源审计需求的机会.
1级+
能源 Audit Survey and Analysis of Low Hanging Fruit:
The 1级+ energy audit builds on the Level I and includes more in-depth energy savings calculations that are completed using a combination of spreadsheet calculations and basic modeling. 该分析将包括估计的安装成本以及照明等低成本措施的成本和消耗节省, water and appliance replacements and others as appropriate. Capital improvements such as envelope, 暖通空调和生活热水的改进将定性为低, medium or high for cost and priority. The report includes sufficient detail to justify project implementation for low-cost opportunities or specific measures or system requested by the client as well as identifying priorities for a more detailed energy audit that targets higher cost improvements.
2级
所有能源和水资源机会的能源审计调查与分析: 二级节能计算将通过严格的计算完成. 该分析将包括所考虑的所有措施的估计安装成本和节省, both low-cost and high cost capital improvements. 根据实施成本估算，对每项措施进行详细的财务分析, 现场具体的运营成本节约和客户的投资标准. 第2级分析还包括所有公用事业的最终用途细分, 包括季节性负荷，并考虑入住率等运营参数, schedules and service levels (set points, 光水平等.) for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) improvement options. 提供了充分的细节，以证明项目的实施适合所有已确定的机会.
3级
Investment-Grade multifamily energy audit: 资本密集型改造的详细分析，重点是需要严格分析研究的潜在高成本ewem. This level of analysis can involve advanced on-site measurements and sophisticated computer based simulation tools to evaluate precisely the selected energy retrofits; This level also allows for compounding energy improvements to be analyzed as stand-alone or packaged improvements.
能源基准测试
能源 benchmarking is the comparison of a building’s energy consumption against similar buildings while accounting for a variety of factors such as weather, 燃料类型, 建筑施工, 入住率, 等. This is the first step in determining energy conservation potential of a property as well as the potential to undergo a full 调查 by performing an energy audit.
能源 benchmarking provides the owner with a priority list of which buildings are performing well and which are under-performing. The ability to highlight the assets within a real estate portfolio that are poor performers will aid in the proper allocation of a client’s time and money.
The Goals of 能源基准测试
-
以较低的第一成本努力找出减少能源的机会
-
Assess current performance
-
Prioritize facilities for improvements
-
设定适当的目标
-
Evaluate and Measure progress
-
Rank facility performance against its peers
实用程序的监控
By tracking the utility expenses monthly or quarterly, 能源消耗的任何波动都能被迅速识别. 及早发现漏水或公用事业预算的差异可以在短时间内节省真正的费用. 我们可以确定之前对建筑进行的改造是否有效. 同样的, 在一座新建筑里，它是用能源模型设计的, 我们可以了解建筑是如何跟踪相对于预期性能的.
If 新星 catches something unexpected in the utility trending we will immediately bring it to our clients’ attention and will likely have a solution.
基准测试 with 能源之星® Portfolio Manager®
由美国开发.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through 能源之星®, 一种名为能源之星®Portfolio Manager®的软件工具可用于对各种建筑类型进行基准测试. 使用投资组合管理器来确定基准投资优先级, 跟踪节能情况, 突出建筑物中较差的能源性能是您的建筑物获得能源之星评级的步骤.
能源基准得分达到或超过75分，该建筑将获得美国政府颁发的能效等级认证.S. EPA 能源之星® Label.
多户建筑现在有资格从能源之星®获得1-100分
多户住宅在能源和水方面都可以从能源之星®获得1-100分. 如果您的物业在energy STAR®Portfolio Manager®中获得75分或更高的能源得分, it may be eligible to be certified by 能源之星, signifying that it is among America’s top energy performers.

公平能源审计
Building 能源 Modeling
建筑能源模型是评估现有建筑和待建建筑能源性能的有力工具.
建模软件
Using a variety of industry standard software tools such as 能源部对 and PSD’s TREAT®Multifamily and proprietary processes, 新星模拟了现有建筑和将要建造的建筑的能源性能. 建筑能耗建模是开发商和投资者的重要工具, 使他们能够了解各种变量的能源影响，包括但不限于墙组件, 建筑方向, 或者机械系统.
Operations and Maintenance Manuals
在改造和新建过程中，操作和维护手册往往是被忽视的一步.
操作和维护培训通常是作为建筑物更广泛的能源效率工作的一部分而开发的. A site operations and maintenance manual is a custom manual developed by our professionals to document the most efficient means of operating the site’s mechanical systems. 在许多情况下，我们看到，由于不了解操作程序，建筑物的运行效率受到了影响. 这导致我们提供建筑操作和维护手册. 这包括为您的操作员提供的操作图和说明.
The Benefits of Operations and Maintenance Manuals
In addition to educating current site operators, 建筑操作和维护手册的另一个重要优点是将现场知识制度化. 这减少了员工流动对能源效率的影响，并且随时可供员工或服务提供商使用. 本瑞丰乐投letou官网以硬拷贝形式提供，并以Adobe PDF®格式的电子CD形式提供. 我们还为您的建筑运营商和资产管理公司提供基于网络的资源.
Building Operator Training
Building operator training gives your site maintenance and operations staff the tools they need to operate your investment as cost effectively as possible.
Conducted at your site and on your equipment, 建筑操作员培训教育维修人员在安全的环境下操作设备, energy efficient manner. 这种教育是根据每个站点运行中的设备定制的, to the skills and concerns of your maintenance staff, and in accordance with your goals as an investor. 我们经常将这种培训作为全面战略能源管理计划的一部分.
通过为您的建筑员工提供特定于现场的建筑操作员培训, 我们可以制定行动计划，以尽量减少昂贵的承包商服务电话. We recommend conducting this training in concert with developing operations and maintenance manuals in order to ensure this information is well documented in the event of turnover in your maintenance staff.
Envelope Commissioning
围护结构调试(BECx)是对建筑围护系统(墙)的系统审查, roofs and foundations) to ensure the air tightness of the building is below the prescribed maximum rates and that the building’s design and construction meet defined performance expectations.
暖通空调调试

Strategic 能源 Planning
新星提供战略能源规划和风险管理，以最大限度地降低风险和暴露于长期能源成本.
不像大多数私人瑞丰乐投letou投资者，他们必须协调多个投资伙伴的目标, 住房当局, 政府实体, 大学, and other single-owner groups can develop a strategy to leverage the savings from high yielding energy savings measures to fund subsequent conservation efforts or capital needs. 由此产生的“循环贷款基金”或现金流瀑布效应可以反复用作融资来源.
所有的能源管理策略都需要以现实和可靠的数据为基础. 正因为如此, we begin our process with the “发现阶段”, 其中包括投资级能源审计和公用事业账单分析. 我们为投资组合中的每座建筑建立了基线能源使用, 然后从整体上考虑投资组合所提供的机会, and available sources of financing including low interest loans, 和国家, 联邦, and other rebates and incentives.
FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
在分析发现阶段的基础上，我们制定了五年战略计划. 大多数项目在第一年实行最高产量措施, 使用由此产生的现金流来资助后续的改进或解决与能源无关的资本需求.
因为决策基础设施是在第一年发展起来的, 业主可以在项目的整个生命周期中使用这些工具. 在后来的岁月里, 这些工具可以指导有关资本规划和能源价格波动持续管理的决策, and can accommodate changes in financing terms, 能源定价, 资本成本, 还有其他变量.
测量 & 验证
测量与验证为能源管理的有效性提供了证据. 测量 and verification of utility consumption assists the building owner in evaluating the long-term energy performance of the property. 更多的 importantly measurement and verification is key in identifying problems with mechanical systems performance or resident behaviors that are negatively impacting energy performance.
The Benefits of 测量 and 验证
-
Increase energy savings
-
记录esco的金融交易和州或联邦激励措施
-
Improve design, operations and maintenance of a facility
-
Account for variances from expected energy use
测量和验证可用于以下示例:
-
To assess the performance of a single retrofit
-
To assess a facility’s total energy use
-
确定新建建筑物相对于预计性能的跟踪情况
新星的角色
每个月, 新星 acquires the utility bills for each meter at each site, normalizes the data for weather and other factors, 并根据基线评估该物业的能源性能. The results are reported to ownership on a quarterly basis.
Our measurement and verification services comply with the 国际 Performance 测量 and 验证 Protocol (IPMVP EVO 10000-1:2012). 我们有一名认证测量和验证专业人员(CMVP). M&V工艺最好在改造期之前开始，但可以在任何时候进行.
