UC Los Angeles Campus & Medical Center Strategic Energy Plan ...

10. PROJECT SUMMARIES
The following pages provide a concise project summary for each SEP project. The section,
organized by SEP ID Number, includes the following summary information, and additional
information for each project can be found in the Appendices.
• Basic information including the project SEP ID Number, name, and project location.
• Project prioritization, as committed to by the campus upon review of the preliminary
project list. Tier 1 projects formed a committed energy savings level to the Investor
Owned Utilities. Tier 2 projects reflect the campus’ planned projects to achieve
approximately 150% of the committed energy savings. Backup projects serve as
potential projects the campus may consider or substitute for other projects at any time.
It should be noted that energy savings for select projects may have been refined since
the preliminary project list, as discussed in Section 2 of this report. (Note that all UCLA
projects will be shown as “Backup” because the campus did not formally commit to
projects in conjunction with the IOU deadlines.)
• The Calculation File Name provides a reference for the file name, and path if applicable,
of the energy calculation which is included as a soft copy in the appendix of this report.
• The Project Description Reference provides the titles of the projects (Air Handler Project
1, Lighting Project 3, etc) as defined in the Energy Efficiency Project Description section
earlier in this report.
• Building Energy Savings. The project energy savings are summarized at the building
level, which include chilled water and heating hot water or steam, if supplied from a
central plant, as well as the direct gas or electric savings. The total cost savings are
estimated based on the purchased utility savings (including central plant and
cogeneration impacts) and campus recharge rates.
• Incentive Calculation Basis. The projected utility incentive is provided using the
equivalent electric and gas savings, which convert chilled water and heating hot water or
steam savings to electric or gas savings using the central plant efficiencies. The
incentive shown in this section is the gross potential incentive, without consideration of a
project cost cap.
• Project Cost Summary. Details are displayed for the cost buildup, including appropriate
multipliers and soft costs. If the source of a cost is the construction cost, contingency,
engineering, construction management and project management is added. If the bare
costs are known, the applicable city multipliers, tax, and O&P included obtaining the
estimated construction cost, to which the soft costs are added.
• Project Economics Summary. The project costs, savings and resulting simple payback
are calculated. The utility incentive stated here takes into consideration the project cost
cap, and is highlighted if it is capped by the project cost. The monetary savings is based
on the purchased utility savings and campus recharge rate.
