What is ENERGY STAR?

• EPA voluntary climate protection partnership

with energy users, service, and product providers

• Brand recognition: >90% of American
• Helps organizations

– Measure, track, and improve energy performance – Save energy, money, while reducing environmental impact

1.6 million homes 28,500 buildings 1,377

Wastewater Treatment Plants

The biggest little label in energy efficiency

5.5 billion products For over 25 years, EPA’s ENERGY STAR program has identified the most energy-efficient products, buildings, plants, and new homes – all based on the government- backed standards. Today, every ENERGY STAR label is verified by a rigorous third-party certification process.

Consumers trust ENERGY STAR

Why focus on buildings and plants?

• Commercial buildings and industrial facilities

generate about 45 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

• 30 percent of energy consumed in commercial

and industrial buildings is wasted.

• Reductions of 10 percent or more in energy use

can be possible with little or no cost. – Energy is a controllable cost. – Energy is a significant percentage of your

• perating costs and reduces operating profit.

– Any costs you shift from energy cost improve the bottom line.

• No-cost, secure, online tool to track

energy, water, and waste

• Benchmark the energy use of all

buildings–receive an energy use intensity (EUI)

• Many buildings can receive an

ENERGY STAR energy performance score on a (1-100 scale)

What is Portfolio Manager?

Benchmarking with ENERGY STAR – the industry standard

450,000+ properties benchmarking energy use 40%+ of U.S. commercial building space 110,000+ properties benchmark water use 200,000+ properties benchmark energy/water using web services 28,500+ ENERGY STAR certified properties

Consistent benchmarking in buildings results in energy savings and improved performance. Cumulative savings for C&I facilities of $3.4 billion.

Value of Benchmarking

Benchmarking for Water/Wastewater Treatment

3-4% of electricity consumption is used for water transport and treatment 9x the difference in source EUI between bottom 5% and top 5%

• f WWT Facilities

1300+ WWT benchmark energy/water using Portfolio Manager <50 WWT in Ohio currently benchmark

10

Distribution of Source EUI for Wastewater Treatment Facilities

(As of 2015)

Energy Use Intensity at WWT Plants

• Influent BOD has a positive

correlation with Energy Use Intensity

• Nutrient Removal is an

indicator of site intensity

• More efficient treatment =

better Energy Star Score

Program Overview

• Free for AEP Ohio business

customers

• Monthly bill data flows from

AEP Ohio in the portal

• Automatically sync data with

ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager

AEP Ohio Benchmarking Program Benefits

• Readily available historical utility data,(36+

months if available)

• Automated EUI value or ENERGY STAR scoring
• Verify energy use of projects
• Less error from manual data collection
• Assist in planning: set goals, targets, and

timelines to measure progress

ENERGY STAR Scores: What information is needed?

• Property information

– Building type – Name, street address, ZIP/postal code

• Property type data

– Gross floor area – Use Details

• Plant Design Flow Rate
• Average Influent/Effluent BOD
• Utility bills

– AEP Ohio consumption data automatically delivered – Add’l energy data will be added with upload form (natural gas, etc.)

Announcement

• Joined the program 2018
• Automated sync of electric

and natural gas data into ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager

• Turnkey benchmarking
