• HVAC Optimization – 2 HS & 1 ES
• Financials – Total Cost: $6.35MM; Simple Payback: 15 Years; Projected

Annual Savings: $450,000

• Initial loan application, approval, construction and loan repayment schedule

• Initiated in 1988 as a statewide energy efficiency program
• Funded through Petroleum Violation Escrow Funds
• Largest building conservation program ran by the state

SECO LoanSTAR Program

SECO LoanSTAR Program

• Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO)
• Low interest loan for utility cost reduction measures
• Funds are paid by Owner, reimbursed by SECO then paid off through

savings

• Detailed process including Engineering Assessment Report, 3rd party
• versight, administered by SECO

Qualification Requirements

• Public/Government Facility
• Composite payback of 10 years
• 15 years with 50% HVAC
• Utility Assessment Report (UAR) by Professional Engineer

Typical Energy Saving Measures

• Energy efficient lighting
• High efficiency HVAC systems
• Energy & water management
• Energy recovery systems
• Building envelope improvements
• Load management

UAR Report

• Energy management information

systems and metering

• Whole building commissioning

Implementation

• Design by qualified Professional Engineer
• Procurement method determined by entity
• Installation
• Reimbursement by SECO
• Project closeout
• Loan repayment
• Amortization schedule based on project payback
