Title of deliverable:
ESMES Implementation Tool for SEM measures
Description:
The ESMES project aimed to improve the capacity of 5 public institutions in order to implement innovative energy rehabilitations. In a typical school, energy distribution can be attributed to five main categories: lighting, cooling, space heating, water heating, other. Of those energy uses, lighting and cooling systems draw the most energy, with space heating following closely. Although the numbers vary by climate zone, the results from this analysis provide a generalized summary of the systems with the largest opportunity for energy savings: lighting, HVAC, and water heating. This document illustrates low cost or no cost energy management operations and maintenance practices for the major systems within school buildings. When available, general information on energy efficiency considerations for retrofits or major renovations is also provided.
