1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Boerne, now referred to as the City, requested that Texas Energy Engineering
Services, Inc. (TEESI) perform a Preliminary Energy Assessment (PEA) of their facilities. This
report documents that analysis.
This service is provided at no cost to the City through the Local Government Energy
Management and Technical Assistance Program as administered by the Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts, State Energy Conservation Office (SECO). This program promotes and
encourages an active partnership between SECO and Texas local governments for the purpose of
planning, funding, and implementing energy saving measures, which will ultimately reduce the
City’s annual energy costs.
The annual cost savings, implementation cost estimate and simple payback for all building
energy retrofit projects identified in this preliminary analysis are summarized below. Individual
building projects are summarized in Section 9.0 of this report.

3.0 ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND PERFORMANCE
A site survey was conducted at several of the City’s facilities. The facilities surveyed comprised
a total gross area of approximately 74,888 square feet.
Annual electric and natural gas invoices for the facilities surveyed were $231,501 for the 12month period ending March 2011. A summary of annual utility costs is provided in Appendix
C, Base Year Consumption History.
BUILDINGS:
To help the City evaluate the overall energy performance of its facilities TEESI has calculated
their Energy Utilization Index (EUI) and Energy Cost Index (ECI). The EUI represents a
facility’s annual energy usage per square foot; it is measured as thousand BTU’s per square foot
per year (kBTU/SF/Year). Similarly, ECI is measured as cost per square foot per year
($/SF/Year). The EUI and ECI performance for selected facilities are listed below:

Knowing the EUI and ECI of each facility is useful to help determine the City’s overall energy
performance. In addition, the City’s EUI was compared to TEESI’s database of local
government facilities. See Appendix D to determine how these facilities’ EUI compared to
other local government facilities in Texas.
The City’s Library was newly constructed and recently occupied, no utility data existed at the
time of this report. The Police Station, as seen in the table below, was also recently constructed,
and only includes utility data from November 2010 – March 2011.

WASTEWATER/WATER TREATMENT PLANTS:
To help the City evaluate the overall energy performance of its wastewater treatment plant,
TEESI has calculated its Energy Utilization Index (EUI) and Energy Cost Index (ECI). The EUI
was calculated based on the facility’s annual energy usage per annual average effluent flow; it is
measured as thousand BTUs per gallons per day per year (kBTU/GPD/Year). Similarly, ECI is
measured as cost per million gallons per day per year ($/MGD/Year). The EUI and ECI
performance for the wastewater treatment plant is listed below. ENERGY STAR Portfolio
Manager (see Section 4.0) can rate wastewater treatment plants, and the current rating is shown
in the table below using some default space values.

1. Electric consumption for WWTP is based on electric meter serving the main processing facility and does not account for other usage
(i.e. lift stations, irrigation, etc.) which may be metered separately.
2. Electric consumption conversion based on 3.412 kBtu/kWh.
3. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager requires the Influent flow (MGD) to calculate a performance rating. For this analysis Effluent flow was considered to be sufficient for
benchmarking purposes.
4. Energy Use Index (EUI) calculated based annual kBtu divided by the Average Effluent Flow in gallons per day (GPD).
5. Energy Cost Index (ECI) calculated based on annual energy cost divided by the Average Effluent Flow in million gallons per day (MGD).
6. National Average based on ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager benchmarks.
7. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager requires the Average Influent BOD (mg/l) to calculate a performance rating. A default of 200 mg/l was selected for WW plant.
8. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager requires the Average Effluent (BOD) to calculate a performance rating. For this analysis the Average Effluent CBOD was considered to
be sufficient for benchmarking purposes.
The following table shows the electric consumption and cost for the Water Treatment Plant.
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager currently does not rate water treatment plants. However, it
is recommended the City continue to utilize Portfolio Manager as a means of energy accounting.
For more information on Portfolio Manager, please see Section 4.0.

4.0 ENERGY STAR PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The City’s energy baseline can be developed using ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager. It is a
free online resource available to all registered users, and is a user-friendly web-based tool.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). ENERGY STAR has developed Portfolio Manager, an
innovative online energy management tool, designed to help organizations track and assess
energy and water consumption of their facilities. Portfolio Manager helps organizations set
investment priorities, identify under-performing facilities, verify efficiency improvements, and
receive EPA recognition for superior energy performance.
Portfolio Manger is also an energy performance benchmarking tool. Portfolio Manager rates a
facility’s energy performance on a scale of 1–100 relative to similar facilities nationwide. The
rating system based on a statistically representative model utilizing a national survey conducted
by the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration. This national survey,
known as the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), conducted every
four years gathers data on building characteristics and energy use from thousands of buildings
across the United States. A rating of 50 indicates that the facility, from an energy consumption
standpoint, performs better than 50% of all similar facilities nationwide, while a rating of 75
indicates that the facility performs better than 75% of all similar facilities nationwide.
In addition, Portfolio Manager is used to generate a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP) for
each facility, summarizing key energy information such as site and source energy intensity,
greenhouse gas emission, energy reduction targets and energy cost. The Statement of Energy
Performance can help in applying for an ENERGY STAR Building label or satisfying LEED for
Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) requirements. For example, one of the requirements to receive
an ENERGY STAR Building Label is to achieve a minimum CBECS rating of 75. A
requirement to receive LEED-EB certification is an ENERGY STAR rating of 69.
Many of the City’s facilities are not able to receive an ENERGY STAR rating (Portfolio
Manager does not rate fire stations, and many of the office buildings do not meet the minimum
square footage requirement). In addition, Portfolio Manager requires at least 12 months of utility
data, which is not yet available for the Police Station and Library. However, Portfolio Manager
can still serve as a valuable tool for the city in tracking utility consumption and setting targets for
performance of the City’s facilities, including the water and wastewater treatment plants.
To develop the City’s baseline, 12 months of utility consumption, cost data, and Building Space
Use information will be required. The table on the following page is a sample of the Building
Space Use data required by Portfolio Manager to generate the Energy Performance Rating.
These inputs are critical and can significantly influence how Portfolio Manager computes the
ENERGY STAR Rating. Many of these key inputs may vary over time and could influence the
rating. If an ENERGY STAR Label is pursued, these key inputs will need to be verified
and certified by a Professional Engineer. Verification of this information is required when
submitting the Statement of Energy Performance for ENERGY STAR’s review.

5.0 ENERGY ACCOUNTING
UTILITY PROVIDERS
City of Boerne provides electric service and natural gas to the City.
MONITORING AND TRACKING
Currently, the City utilizes an energy tracking spreadsheet. An effective energy tracking system
is an essential tool by which an energy management program's activities are monitored. The
system should be centralized and available for all engaged staff members to use in verifying
progress toward established targets and milestones.
The City should continue consolidating the tracking and recording of all the City’s utility
accounts (i.e., Electricity, Natural Gas, Propane, Water, etc.) in an electronic spreadsheet similar
to the chart shown on the following page. Along with total utility costs ($), utility consumption
should be recorded as well (i.e., kWh, MCF, gallons, etc.). The City can use this data to track
utility consumption patterns and budget utility expenses. Preferably, the City should also
consider an electronic database such as ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, which will
provide a means of storing and tracking utility information. The City’s baseline utility
information has been entered into Portfolio Manager, as stated in the previous section. For
more information on ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, please see Section 4.0. Having
this historical data improves the City’s awareness of their energy performance and will help in
tracking their energy reduction goals.
The steps below are essential for an effective energy management tracking system:
1. Perform regular updates. An effective system requires current and comprehensive data.
Monthly updates should be strongly encouraged.
2. Conduct periodic reviews. Such reviews should focus on progress made, problems
encountered, and potential rewards.
3. Identify necessary corrective actions. This step is essential for identifying if a specific
activity is not meeting its expected performance and is in need of review.
In addition, having this historical utility data would facilitate House and Senate Bill(s) reporting
requirements. Please see Section 6.0 for additional information regarding these requirements.

6.0 ENERGY LEGISLATION OVERVIEW
In 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 12 (SB12) which among other things
extended the timeline set by Senate Bill 5 (SB5). SB5, commonly referred to as the Texas
Emissions Reduction Plan, was adopted in 2001 by the 77th Texas Legislature to comply with
the federal Clean Air Act standards. Also in 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature passed House Bill
3693 (HB3693) which amended provisions of several codes relating primarily to energy
efficiency.
Following are key requirements established by the above energy legislation:
Establish a goal of reducing electric consumption by five percent (5%) each state fiscal year for
six (6) years, beginning on September 1, 2007.
Record electric, water, and natural gas utility services (consumption and cost) in an electronic
repository. The recorded information shall be on a publicly accessible Internet Web site with an
interface designed for ease of navigation if available, or at another publicly accessible location.
Energy-efficient light bulbs for buildings, requires an institution to purchase commercially
available light bulbs using the lowest wattages for the required illumination levels.
Installation of energy saving devices in Vending Machines with non-perishable food
products.
A summary description of SB 12 and HB 3693 is available in Appendix A. Further detail

7.0 SAMPLE SCREENSHOTS OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)
During the preliminary walk-through, several snap shots of the facilities’ Energy Management
System (EMS) frontend were taken. The EMS snap shots help identify the HVAC equipment
settings (Temperature Setpoints, Equipment On/Off Status, etc.).
While this information only provides a brief sample of the indoor conditions, this information is
helpful in providing a general understanding of a facility’s HVAC system operations. Since the
HVAC system is the major energy consumer in most facilities, investigating these systems can
help identify energy reduction opportunities. Below are some examples of the information
obtained using the EMS. Please note the following images were obtained during the month of
June 2011.

8.0 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE & OPERATION PROCEDURES
Sound Maintenance and Operation (M&O) procedures significantly improve annual utility costs,
equipment life, and occupant comfort. Generally, maintenance and operation procedural
improvements can be made with existing staff and budgetary levels. Below are typical
maintenance and operations procedures that have energy savings benefits. Please note that some
of the recommendations noted below are currently being practiced by the City. With this in
mind, the following maintenance and operation procedures should be encouraged/continued to
ensure sustainable energy savings.
M&O Recommendations - Buildings
PUBLICIZE ENERGY CONSERVATION
Promote energy awareness at regular staff meetings, on bulletin boards, and through
organizational publications. Publicize energy cost reports showing uptrends and downtrends.
MANAGE SMALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT LOADS
Small electrical equipment loads consists of small appliances/devices such as portable heaters,
microwaves, small refrigerators, coffee makers, stereos, cell phone chargers, desk lamps, etc.
The City should establish a goal to reduce the number of small appliances and to limit their
usage. For example, the use of small space heaters should be discouraged; hence, all space
heating should be accomplished by the City’s main heating system. In addition, many small
devices such as radios, printers, and phone chargers can consume energy while not in use. To
limit this “stand-by” power usage these devices should be unplugged or plugged into a power
strip that can act as a central “turn off” point while not in use. With an effective energy
awareness campaign to encourage participation, managing small electrical loads can achieve
considerable energy savings.
ESTABLISH HVAC UNIT SERVICE SCHEDULES
Document schedules and review requirements for replacing filters, cleaning condensers, and
cleaning evaporators. Include particulars such as filter sizes, crew scheduling, contract
availability if needed, etc. Replace filters with standard efficiency pleated units. Generally,
appropriate service frequencies are as follows -- filters: monthly; condensers: annually;
evaporators: 5 years.
PRE-IDENTIFY PREMIUM EFFICIENCY MOTOR (PEM) REPLACEMENTS
Pre-identify supply sources and PEM stock numbers for all HVAC fan and pump motors so that
as failures occur, replacement with PEM units can take place on a routine basis. As funding
allows, pre-stock PEM replacements according to anticipated demand, i.e., motors in service
more than 10 years, motors in stressful service, and particular motor types that are in service at
several locations.
PAGE 19
AUGUST 2011
CITY OF BOERNE
IMPROVE CONTROL OF INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Establish procedures to monitor use of lighting at times and places of possible/probable
unnecessary use: Offices at lunchtime, maintenance shops, closets, exterior and parking lots
during daylight hours, etc. Encouraging staff (i.e. Custodial, maintenance) to participate in the
City’s efforts to limit unnecessary lighting use would help improve this effort.
Example 1 – Exterior Lights: The pictures below are of exterior lights on during daylight hours.
Exterior lighting is typically controlled using light sensing photocells, timeclocks or manual
switching. Another option is to use the Energy Management System (EMS) to relays in the
lighting circuits. Photocells tend to fail in the “On” state, so someone should check regularly to
see that the lights are not on during the day. Timeclocks are more reliable, and those with
astronomical control or that operate in series with photocells also provide dusk-to-dawn
operation that is seasonally corrected. Timeclocks also offer the option of turning off the lights
in the middle of the night. Manual control is limited to when someone is present and remembers
to go to the switch and actuate it. EMS control can use a single light sensor and many schedules
to control many lighting groups. It also offers easy means to override normal schedules for
special events. The EMS light sensor calibration should be checked periodically, or a second
sensor should be used for constant cross-calibration. The EMS can also be used as a time clock
type operation without the need for a lighting sensor.

AUGUST 2011
CITY OF BOERNE
Example 2 – Day Lighting Opportunity: The pictures below are a good example of a day lighting
opportunity. The office’s windows help bring in sufficient natural light to illuminate the space
during office hours. The City should consider reducing the amount of artificial lighting in areas
where sufficient natural light is available. The City could also benefit from fixture upgrades
(lamp and ballast replacement) to include dimming capabilities when natural light can
supplement artificial light.
City Hall office lights on: 90 – 100 foot-candles
City Hall office lights off: 60 – 70 foot-candles
EXTERIOR SECURITY AND SITE LIGHTING RETROFIT
Most city facilities utilize High Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures for exterior lighting. It is
recommended that the City replace the existing HID fixtures with a combination of Pulse Start
Metal Halide (MH), LED, and Compact Fluorescent (CFL) fixtures suitable for the application.
Care should be used when developing a retrofit/replacement strategy so that minimum security
lighting levels are not sacrificed when the retrofit is complete. Therefore, lighting levels should
be calculated to determine if the post retrofit levels are acceptable. In addition, compatibility
with existing ballasts, local codes and other requirements must be verified prior to retrofitting.
Nevertheless, if suitable for the application, switching to lower wattage lamps with greater
lumen maintenance can have sustainable energy savings with minimal impact. An example
retrofit strategy is shown below:

TYPICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE CHECKLISTS
Effective operation and maintenance of equipment is one of the most cost effective ways to
achieve reliability, safety, and efficiency. Failing to maintain equipment can cause significant
energy waste and severely decrease the life of equipment. Substantial savings can result from
good operation and maintenance procedures. In addition, such procedures require little time and
cost to implement. Examples of typical maintenance checklists for common equipment are
provided in Appendix E. These checklists from the Federal Energy Management Program
(FEMP), a branch of the Department of Energy (DOE), are based on industry standards and
should supplement, not replace those provided by the manufacturer.
CONTROL OUTSIDE AIR INFILTRATION
Conduct periodic inspections of door and window weather-stripping, and schedule repairs when
needed. Additionally, make sure doors and windows are closed during operation of HVAC
systems (heating or cooling). Unintended outside air contributes to higher energy consumption
and increases occupant discomfort. The thermal images below depict contrast between warmer
and cooler areas.

REPLACE INCANDESCENT LAMPS WITH COMPACT FLUORESCENTS
Replace existing incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps as they burn out. Compact
fluorescents use 50 to 75 percent less wattage for the same light output, with ten times the
operating life of incandescents.
PAGE 22
AUGUST 2011
CITY OF BOERNE
ENERGY STAR POWER MANAGEMENT
ENERGY STAR Power Management Program promotes placing monitors and computers (CPU,
hard drive, etc.) into a low-power “sleep mode” after a period of inactivity. The estimated
annual savings can range from $25 to $75 per computer. ENERGY STAR recommends setting
computers to enter system standby or hibernate after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity. Simply
touching the mouse or keyboard “wakes” the computer and monitor in seconds. Activating sleep
features saves energy, money, and helps protect the environment.
INSTALL ENERGY SAVING DEVICES ON VENDING MACHINE
Install energy saving devices on vending machines with non-perishable food items to reduce the
equipment power usage. These devices shut the vending machines down during unoccupied
periods. There are several commercially available devices that can be easily installed on existing
vending machines. These devices typical have a motion sensor which powers down the
equipment after periods of inactivity. For example if the motion sensor does not sense activity
within 15 minutes the device will shutdown the vending machine and turn on once motion is
sensed. These devices range in price from $100 to $250 and have a typical annual savings of
$20 to $150 per vending machine.
HAIL GUARDS ON CONDENSING AND PACKAGED ROOFTOP UNITS
When an HVAC unit is replaced the City should ensure the new unit be specified with hail
guards. The hail guards protect the condensing unit’s heat exchanger coils from hail damage.
Damage to the condensing unit heat exchangers reduces the efficiency of the units. It is
recommended if any existing unit(s) have damaged condensing coil fins the condensing fins
should be straightened using a fin comb.
M&O Recommendations – Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants
After preliminary review, there are no energy projects recommended for the water system or
wastewater treatment facilities. However, the following are general design, maintenance and
operations recommendations that may improve energy performance for water system and
wastewater treatment facilities.
UTILIZE HIGH EFFICIENCY PUMPS AND MOTORS
When replacing pumping units, procure high efficiency pumps and motors. Energy savings
could account for 10-15% difference when compared to existing units.
EVALUATE PIPE SIZING WITHIN SERVICE AREA TO REDUCE FRICTION LOSSES
Performing a water distribution system analysis can recommend the most efficient piping size for
the service area. Constructing non-restrictive piping would reduce system head requirements
and save power.
ADD VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD) CAPABILITY TO HIGH SERVICE PUMPS
STATIONS
A VFD controlled pump station could serve as an alternative system pressure control to enable
elevated storage to be taken out of service for painting or repairs.
PAGE 23
AUGUST 2011
CITY OF BOERNE
ADD VFD OR “SOFT-START” TO PUMPING UNITS 50 HP AND GREATER
A soft-start feature would reduce start-up amperage surcharge saving money when rate structures
take start-up amperage into account. VFDs can stabilize plant operations by maintaining a
constant flow into a water or wastewater treatment process.
ADD VFD TO MECHANICAL AERATORS
VFDs on a mechanical aerator can control D.O. levels as well as fine tune mixing required
horsepower to optimum levels.
CONTROL DISSOLVED OXYGEN LEVEL IN WWTP
Reducing aeration to maintain dissolved oxygen levels of 2.0 mg/l or less could reduce power
draw. Variable Frequency Drive, dual speed motors, or simply operating fewer units to maintain
minimum dissolved oxygen levels will save power.

9.0 UTILITY COST REDUCTION MEASURES
Utility Cost Reduction Measures (UCRMs) identified during the preliminary analysis are
detailed below. Project cost estimates include complete design and construction management
services.
T12 TO T8 FLUORESCENT LIGHTING RETROFIT
The City has a combination of T8 and T12 Fluorescent fixtures. It is recommended the City
replace the existing T12 fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts with high efficiency T-8
fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts. Typical four-foot, two-lamp magnetic ballast fixtures
require 80 watts, while electronic ballasts and T-8 lamps in the same fixture configuration
require only 50 watts. The table below indicates the facilities where T-12 fluorescent lamps
were observed during the preliminary walkthrough. The cost and savings noted below are based
on preliminary observations of the facilities. Exact cost, quantities, and lamp types can be
identified through a detailed energy audit. In addition, a detailed lighting design calculation will
help ensure the appropriate lighting replacement is selected. For example, a detailed design
calculation may identify areas that could operate with fewer lamps per fixtures or with lowwattage T8 lamps while still maintaining adequate lighting levels.

INSTALLATION OF OCCUPANCY SENSORS FOR INDOOR LIGHTING CONTROL
It is recommended the City consider installing occupancy sensors to improve control of interior
lighting. Occupancy sensors will help ensure lights are only on when the space is occupied. The
following table below provides an estimated cost and energy savings for the installation of these
types of sensors. Please note this estimation is based on a preliminary assessment exact sensor
location, technology (Infrared, Ultrasonic, and Dual Technology) and quantity can be determined
during a detailed energy assessment or design phase. In general, enclosed areas with intermittent
use, are typically good candidates for occupancy sensors (i.e. administration offices, break

INSTALLATION OF SOLAR THERMAL POOL HEATING SYSTEM
The City of Boerne Park Pool Complex currently uses a boiler for heat. The City should
consider installing a solar collector pool heating system to supplement the existing pool boiler.
The solar collection system should provide heat when it can be collected and it is needed. The
City can adjust the setpoint and/or delay of the existing gas heater to allow the solar thermal
system to act as the first stage of heating, while using gas only when needed. The table below
provides estimated costs and energy savings for installation of this solar thermal pool heating
system, and includes collector panels and required piping and controls. Exact cost can be

The above projects implementation costs and annual savings are estimated based on a
preliminary examination of the facilities. Furthermore, maintenance cost savings are not
included in this preliminary energy assessment. Final costs will be determined from detailed
building assessments, engineering calculations, and contractor estimates
Project design (drawings and specifications), if authorized, would normally be accomplished by
professional engineers. Project acquisition (competitive bidding) would be in accordance with
City requirements, and construction management would be provided by the engineering group
who prepared the drawings and specifications.

10.0 FACILITY IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
This section is intended to describe the Facility Improvement Measures (FIMs) that have energy
savings opportunities but cannot be justified solely based on the potential energy savings alone.
The following are the capital improvement projects recommended for the City.
REPLACE SINGLE PANE WINDOWS WITH NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS
It is recommended the City replace existing single pane windows enclosing the City Hall with
new energy efficient windows. The thermal images below are of the exterior of the City Hall
windows, and depict the contrast between warmer and cooler areas. The existing single pane
windows are energy inefficient and are susceptible to unnecessary air infiltration due to
degradation of the weather seals. Replacing these windows with new energy efficient, double
pane windows will help improve the building envelope’s thermal performance, reduce sound
transmission and enhance occupant comfort. The new energy efficient windows shall meet
ENERGY STAR qualifications.

CITY OF BOERNE
The City has several Split-DX air-conditioning units nearing the end of their useful life. The
City should budget and plan to replace these units in the next two (2) to four (4) years. Replace
these systems with new high efficiency units that will have energy savings and help reduce
maintenance costs. The HVAC systems nearing the end of their useful life consist of 2 Split-DX
systems at the Street Department totaling approximately 4.5 tons (age is 13 years) and 1 SplitDX system at Animal Control of 3.5 tons (age is 12 years). The table below summarizes the
estimated cost for replacing the units indentified at the facilities.

11.0 ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICY
By requesting this study, the City has demonstrated interest in taking a more aggressive
approach to energy management. In order to establish an effective Energy Management
Program it should have support from top management. An Energy Management Policy adopted
by the City sends a strong signal that energy management is an institutional priority. A formal
Energy Management Policy can be as simple as a two-page document that clearly states the
City’s energy management objectives. The policy should cover items such as:






who is accountable for energy management
what your energy savings targets are
how you will monitor, review and report on progress
staffing and training to support the policy
criteria for energy management investment
working energy efficiency into new capital investments
Along with a clear energy policy an energy management plan should be developed to ensure
sustained energy savings. The energy management plan is a document that details roles,
responsibilities, and objectives. Following are key items that should be included in an energy
management plan:
1.
ESTABLISH ROUTINE ENERGY TRACKING AND REPORTING PROCEDURES
Establishing a procedure to monitor energy usage and cost will help identify energy use
patterns. The data will also help determine the effectiveness of the Energy Management
Program.
2.
ESTABLISH AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT STEERING COMMITTEE
The Energy Management Steering Committee will include representatives from the City.
The steering committee will serve as a review board to evaluate all energy management
recommendations before adoption and implementation. The steering committee will
meet quarterly or semiannually to review the City’s energy cost and consumption.
Regular meetings will ensure the City’s goals are being met prior to the end of the year.
3.
PROMOTE ENERGY AWARENESS
The energy management steering committee members shall establish a program to
publicize the City’s energy goals and progress on a quarterly or semiannually basis.
Continuous promotion of the City’s goals will ensure the sustainability of the energy
management program and help achieve further energy savings.
4.
ESTABLISH ACCEPTABLE EQUIPMENT PARAMETERS
Establish a City-wide uniform temperature set point for all HVAC units. Having a
standard setpoint will help keep HVAC runtimes to a minimum. The following are some
suggested temperature settings, however, the City will need to monitor and ensure that
other building parameters (humidity levels etc.) are within acceptable limits. In addition,
areas with special equipment (MDF/IDF, server rooms, etc.) or materials (wood flooring,
paper storage, etc.) shall be maintained at the equipment supplier’s recommended
settings and settings appropriate to the material.

NEW BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
Ensure proper maintenance and operation of energy using equipment in new buildings by
required adequate documentation of all systems and control strategies, specifying
minimum content of M&O manuals; specifying contractor requirements for cleaning and
adjusting equipment prior to occupancy; specifying on-site vendor training for M&O
staff; and requiring as-built drawings.
6.
ESTABLISH A WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Along with saving energy the City should establish a program to reduce water
consumption. The following conservation measures should be employed.
a. Investigate the use of water conserving faucets, showerheads, and toilets in all new
and existing facilities.
b. Utilize water-pervious materials such as gravel, crushed stone, open paving blocks or
previous paving blocks for walkways and patios to minimize runoff and increase
infiltration.
c. Employ Xeriscaping, using native plants that are well suited to the local climate, that
are drought-tolerant and do not require supplemental irrigation.
d. Utilize drip irrigation systems for watering plants in beds and gardens.
e. Install controls to prevent irrigation when the soil is wet from rainfall.
f. Establish a routine check of water consuming equipment for leaks and repair
equipment immediately.

12.0 FUNDING OPTIONS FOR CAPITAL ENERGY PROJECTS
Institutional organizations have traditionally tapped bond money, maintenance dollars, or federal
grants to fund energy-efficient equipment change outs or additions such as energy-efficient
lighting systems, high efficiency air conditioning units, and computerized energy management
control systems. Today, a broader range of funding options are available. A number of these are
listed below.
Texas LoanSTAR Program
The LoanSTAR (Saving Taxes and Resources) Program, which is administered by the State
Energy Conservation Office, finances energy-efficient building retrofits at a low interest rate
(typically 3 percent). The program’s revolving loan mechanism allows borrowers to repay loans
through the stream of cost savings realized from the projects. Projects financed by LoanSTAR
must have an average simple payback of ten years or less and must be analyzed in an Energy
Assessment Report by a Professional Engineer. Upon final loan execution, the City proceeds to
implement funded projects through the traditional bid/specification process. Contact: Eddy
Trevino (512/463-1876).
Internal Financing
Improvements can be paid for by direct allocations of revenues from an organization’s currently
available operating or capital funds (bond programs). The use of internal financing normally
requires the inclusion and approval of energy-efficiency projects within an organization’s annual
operating and capital budget-setting process. Often, small projects with high rate of return can
be scheduled for implementation during the budget year for which they are approved. Large
projects can be scheduled for implementation over the full time period during which the capital
budget is in place. Budget constraints, competition among alternative investments, and the need
for higher rates of return can significantly limit the number of internally financed energyefficiency improvements.
Private Lending Institutions or Leasing Corporations
Banks, leasing corporations, and other private lenders have become increasingly interested in the
energy efficiency market. The financing vehicle frequently used by these entities is a municipal
lease. Structured like a simple loan, a municipal leasing agreement is usually a lease-purchase
arrangement. Ownership of the financed equipment passes to the City at the beginning of the
lease, and the lessor retains a security interest in the purchase until the loan is paid off. A typical
lease covers the total cost of the equipment and may include installation costs. At the end of the
contract period the lessee pays a nominal amount, usually a dollar, for title to the equipment.
PAGE 33
AUGUST 2011
CITY OF BOERNE
Performance Contracting with an Energy Service Company
Through this arrangement, an energy service company (ESCO) uses third party financing to
implement a comprehensive package of energy management retrofits for a facility. This turnkey
service includes an initial assessment by the contractor to determine the energy-saving potential
for a facility, design work for identified projects, purchase and installation of equipment, and
overall project management. The ESCO guarantees that the cost savings generated by the
projects will, at a minimum, cover the annual payment due to the ESCO over the term of the
contract.
Utility Sponsored Energy Efficiency Incentive Programs
Many of the State’s utilities offer energy efficiency incentive programs to offset a portion of the
upfront cost associated with energy efficiency measures. The program requirements and
incentives range from utility to utility. For example, CenterPoint Energy provides incentives for
efficiency measures such as installation of high efficiency equipment, lighting upgrades, and
building commissioning. These energy efficiency programs’ incentives typically cover
$0.06/kWh and $175/kW of verifiable energy and demand reductions, respectively. For further
information, contact your utility provider to determine what programs are available in your area.

APPENDIX A
ENERGY LEGISLATION
(SB12 AND HB3693)
How to comply with SB12 & HB 3693
What you need to know about Texas Senate Bill 12
What you need to know about Texas House Bill 3693
The passage of Senate Bill 12 (SB12) by the 80th Texas Legislature
signified the continuance of Senate Bill 5 (SB5), the 77th Texas
Legislature’s sweeping approach in 2001 to clean air and encourage
energy efficiency in Texas. SB12 was enacted on September 1, 2007
and was crafted to continue to assist the state and its political
jurisdictions to conform to the standards set forth in the Federal Clean
Air Act. The bill contains energy-efficiency strategies intended to
decrease energy consumption while improving air quality.
The passage of House Bill 3693 (HB3693) by the 80th Texas
Legislature is intended to provide additional provisions for energyefficiency in Texas. Adopted with an effective date of September 1,
2007, HB 3693 is an additional mechanism by which the state can
encourage energy-efficiency through various means for School
Citys, State Facilities and Political Jurisdictions in Texas.
All political subdivisions in the 41 non-attainment or near nonattainment counties in Texas are required to:
1) Adopt a goal to reduce electric consumption by 5 percent each year
for six years, beginning September 1, 2007*
2) Implement all cost-effective energy-efficiency measures to reduce
electric consumption by existing facilities. (Cost effectiveness is
interpreted by this legislation to provide a 20 year return on
investment.)
HB 3693 includes the following state-wide mandates that apply
differently according to the nature and origin of the entity:
Record, Report and Display Consumption Data
All Political Subdivisions, School Citys and State-Funded Institutes of
Higher Education, are mandated to record and report the entity’s
metered resource consumption usage data for electricity, natural gas
and water on a publically accessible internet page.
Note: The format, content and display of this information are
determined by the entity or subdivision providing this information.
3) Report annually to the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO)
on the entity’s progress, efforts and consumption data.
Energy Efficient Light Bulbs
All School Citys and State-Funded Institutes of Higher Education
shall purchase and use energy-efficient light bulbs in education and
housing facilities.
*Note: The recommended baseline data for those reporting entities
will consist of the jurisdiction’s 2006 energy consumption for its
facilities and based on the State Fiscal Year (September 1, 2006 to
August 31, 2007).
Who must comply?
The provisions in this bill will apply to entities including: Cities and
Counties; School [ENTITY]s; Institutes of Higher Education; State
Facilities and Buildings.
How do you define energy-efficiency measures?
Energy-efficiency measures are defined as any facility modifications or changes in
operations that reduce energy consumption. Energy-efficiency is a strategy that has
the potential to conserve resources, save money** and better the quality of our air.
They provide immediate savings and add minimal costs to your project budget.
Examples of energy-efficiency measures include:
• installation of insulation and high-efficiency windows and doors • modifications or
replacement of HVAC systems, lighting fixtures and electrical systems • installation
of automatic energy control systems • installation of energy recovery systems or
renewable energy generation equipment • building commissioning • development of
energy efficient procurement specifications • employee awareness campaigns
**SECO’s Preliminary Energy Assessment (PEA) program is an excellent resource for
uncovering those energy-efficiency measures that can benefit your organization.

LOANSTAR INFORMATION
Texas LoanSTAR Program
FACTS ABOUT LoanSTAR
The State of Texas LoanSTAR (Saving Taxes and Resources) Program finances energy efficient facility
up-grades for state agencies, public schools, institutions of higher education, local governments,
municipalities, and hospitals. The program’s revolving loan mechanism allows participants to borrow
money and repay all project costs through the stream of cost savings produced.
ELIGIBLE PROJECTS
Up-grades financed through the program include, but are not limited to, (1) energy efficient lighting
systems; (2) high efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; (3) energy management
systems; (4) boiler efficiency improvements; (5) energy recovery systems; (6) building shell
improvements; and (7) load management projects. The prospective borrower hires a Professional
Engineer to analyze the potential energy efficient projects that will be submitted for funding through the
Loan STAR Program. All engineering costs are covered under the program.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Once the projects are analyzed and the prospective borrower agrees with the recommended projects, the
engineer prepares an Energy Assessment Report (EAR) with the project descriptions and calculations.
The EAR must be prepared according to the LoanSTAR Technical Guidelines. The EAR is reviewed
and approved by the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) technical staff before project financing
is authorized. Projects financed by LoanSTAR must have an average simple payback of ten years or
less. Borrowers do, however, have the option of buying down paybacks to meet the composite ten-year
limit.
To ensure up-grade projects are designed and constructed according to the EAR,
SECO performs a review of the design documents at the 50% and 100% completion
phases. On-site construction monitoring is also performed at the 50% and 100%
completion phases.
SAVINGS VERIFICATION
To ensure that the Borrower is achieving the estimated energy savings, monitoring and verification is
required for all LoanSTAR funded projects. The level of monitoring and verifications may range from
utility bill analysis to individual system or whole building metering depending on the size and type of
retrofit projects. If whole building metering is required, metering and monitoring cost can be rolled into
the loan.
For additional information regarding the
LoanSTAR program, please contact:
