SUBJECT: 2012 Energy Usage Calculators needed to qualify for Energy Efficiency Incentives

Pursuant to the Board of Governors (Board) Energy and Sustainability Policy (http://Board Energy Policy), state energy efficiency incentives are available to qualifying districts to help pay for energy efficiencies contained in proposed state funded capital outlay projects. To qualify for these incentives, please submit to us your district’s updated 2012 Energy Usage Calculator (EUC) for fiscal year 2011-12 by October 19, 2012.

New Deadline for your 2012 Energy Usage Calculator

Please accept this memo as a reminder that your district’s 2012 Energy Usage Calculator (EUC) for energy usage in fiscal year 2011-12 is now due into our office by October 19, 2012, coinciding with submittal of your district’s Space Inventory Report. We hope that this later due date will allow you sufficient time to collect and report final energy usage data at the close of your fiscal year. As the October submittal approaches, we will provide you with a revised 2012 energy usage spreadsheet (one for multi-campus districts and one for single campus districts).

The Energy Usage worksheet comes with its own set of instructions, and can be completed quickly with a few readily available energy and related data points. This worksheet determines the energy use by square footage and weeks of operation on a campus level. Please be sure to provide on this worksheet energy usage data only through fiscal year 2011-12; going beyond that date would be a projection, and we only need data on actual energy usage. We would also really appreciate if you would ensure that the energy usage data on this worksheet for prior fiscal years for both electricity and gas usage is complete.

Please send your district’s EUC by October 19, 2012 to your specialist. Please contact your Specialist if you have any questions.
