ENERGY PERFORMANCE INDEX
Florida Energy Modeling Program (FEMP): A computerized program for evaluating a building’s energy use, utilizing the normal systems design and evaluation block load programs. These are run as part of the mechanical design and/or evaluation for three scenarios on new or one scenario on existing buildings. All Offerors to an ITN of 20,000 square feet or more will be responsible for contracting an engineering firm to review the building and/or lease space and run a block load program on any of the following systems: TRANE TRACE, CARRIER HAP or ELITE. The completed form, the output sheets from the system block examination and diskette must be forwarded to DMS with a cashier’s check for $200 for each building reviewed prior to ITN award to the attention of:
Full Service Lease Exception: (Leases where energy costs are included in the lease amount.) For existing office facilities only: a full actual year of utility bills, a total annual cost from the bills, the Energy Performance Index and Annual Cost Per Square Foot (Attachment ) may be submitted for the comparisons needed to evaluate the building performance accompanied by a cashier’s check for $200 for each building reviewed.
The lease number must be identified on each packet of information submitted, including the diskette, if applicable. The engineer must identify the system used and shall stamp and seal the document set.
If documentation has not been returned from DMS at the time of the ITN Submission, submit documentation (Priority Mail, Return Receipt or letter of receipt from DMS) that shows it was sent to the department prior to the ITN award. NOTE: should the Offeror submit two or more buildings, the FEMP analysis is required for any building which exceeds 20,000 square feet or for all buildings which are serviced by the same HVAC system. The submitted data must reflect the status of the building at the time of occupancy. The physical data (e.g., net square footage, lighting, air conditioning, etc.) of the building itself shall be based on what the lessor will provide at the time of occupancy.
Copy of the FEMP analysis for Energy Performance Index for the facility is included with this submittal.
Energy Performance Index: (Required for property not needing a FEMP)
1) The lessor agrees that the property will be modified, if necessary, at the lessor’s expense to meet an Energy Performance Index, based on 11 hours daily, 5 days weekly, utilization as a typical office, not exceeding the limits shown.
2) To calculate the Energy Performance Index, see Attachment .
3) The successful proposer will be required to document the building design as part of the renovation plan submittal process.
Acceptable maximum Energy Performance Index for proposed property is 55,000 BTUs per square foot per year.
