PROGRAM UPDATES: AEP Progress (through October 2014): Underway: 205 sites Completed: 478 sites Remaining: 17 sites
Did you know... 350 out of 351 Massachusetts cities and towns have at least one solar installation. In terms of total solar installation, there are now 687 MW of installed solar in Massachusetts, up from 3 MW in 2007.
Massachusetts earns #1 energy efficiency ranking AGAIN! For the fourth year in a row, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has declared Massachusetts the most energy efficient state in the U.S. This ranking represents the achievement of another major goal of the AEP! The Commonwealth earned 42 out of a possible 50 points on the 2014 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard, beating out California, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island for the top spot. Every year, the ACEEE’s Scorecard serves as a benchmark for state energy efficiency efforts and ranks states across six major policy areas: • Utility policies and programs • Transportation initiatives • Building energy codes • Combined heat and power development • State government-led initiatives • State-level appliance standards
Massachusetts was specifically praised for its implementation of long term energy framework planning in the rankings released in October. Executive Order 484, the Leading By Example Program, the Accelerated Energy Program, and the Green Communities Act were all highlighted by the ACEEE as landmark state energy policies which have directly led to the state’s continued high ranking.
Massachusetts scored a perfect 20 out of 20 points in the Utilities category, where the ACEEE
recognized the state’s long and successful record of implementing aggressive energy efficiency programs for all customer sectors through partnerships with utility companies.
Although Massachusetts continues to lead the country, according to the Scorecard, the state will need to continue achieving high levels of savings in the utility sector and work to better benchmark energy use in the private sector to stay on top.

DCAMM earns 2014 Leading By Example Award
DCAMM was presented with the 2014 Leading By Example (LBE) Award for State Agencies on October 20th at the State House. The LBE Awards recognize outstanding efforts in establishing and implementing policies and programs that result in significant energy and environmental benefits.
Secretary Glen Shor presented Commissioner Carole Cornelison with the award plaque, noting how ambitious the state has been in developing a strong energy program. Cornelison also praised the hard work all DCAMM members and partner agencies involved in energy projects for achieving many of the program’s lofty goals. The LBE Awards have been in existence since 2007. In addition to state agencies, the awards are also given to individuals, municipalities, and public higher education facilities that have implemented significant energy and environmental policies. This is the first LBE Award for DCAMM.
Administration and Finance Secretary Glen Shor and DCAMM Commissioner Carole Cornelison hold the 2014 LBE Award plaque.
“With some 80 million square feet of buildings and numerous capital construction projects each year, DCAMM manages a broad portfolio of energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy initiatives. DCAMM is overseeing the ambitious Accelerated Energy Program at existing state facilities, as well as designing and constructing new state buildings that meet Massachusetts LEED Plus requirements and even move toward Zero Net Energy.”

Innovative energy recovery ventilators installed at Berkshire Part of the comprehensive energy project currently under construction at the Berkshire House of Correction in Pittsfield is the installation of heat pipe energy recovery ventilation (ERV) units. This is one of the first applications of such units at a state facility. Workers install one of eight energy recovery ventilation units at Berkshire House of Corrections in Pittsfield.
ERV is the process of exchanging the energy from building exhaust and using it to precondition the incoming outdoor air in HVAC systems. The heat pipe is generally less expensive than a more typical heat wheel unit and easier to maintain. The benefit of ERV is the ability to meet ventilation and energy targets while improving indoor air quality and reducing total HVAC equipment capacity. Eight of these units are being installed at Berkshire, which will save the facility over $25,000 annually in energy costs!

PROJECT KICKOFF FAQ Sheet 8.5x11 Frequently Asked Questions 1.
What is the Commonwealth’s Accelerated Energy Program (AEP)? The AEP is a three-year initiative to accelerate the implementation of energy and water efficiency projects at 700 state sites, which include more than 4,000 buildings and 58 million square feet. This program will significantly reduce energy use, cost, and greenhouse gas emissions, while creating clean energy jobs.
2.
What is the timeframe for completion? All sites will be complete or will have begun construction by the end of 2014. Construction at larger sites that may require complex retrofits may continue through 2017.
4.
Will all 700 sites require similar implementation plans? No, AEP is a multi-tiered approach, implementing energy and water projects at large sites such as hospitals, colleges, and prisons; small sites such as police barracks and career centers; and seasonal use sites, like ice rinks and state parks. More than 60 percent of the projects are designated as “Simple Fix,” which will focus primarily on efficiency measures such as lighting and water fixture upgrades and work with existing utility incentive programs. About 5 percent of the sites are much larger, making up 70 percent of the AEP sites’ square footage; these will undergo major equipment upgrades.
5.
What are the projected energy costs & savings? Through an investment of $470,000, the AEP is expected to save the Commonwealth approximately $43 million annually in energy costs. Currently, the 700 sites in the program have energy costs of around $185 million per year.
6.
What are the expected energy and environmental gains? The Commonwealth has targeted a 20-25 percent energy consumption reduction over all the sites in the AEP and will save an estimated 135,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year, the equivalent of removing more than 26,000 passenger vehicles from the road annually.
7.
8.
How is AEP being funded? The Accelerated Energy Program will be funded through a variety of public and private channels including the state’s Clean Energy Investment Program, which uses project savings to pay for capital costs; the issuing of general obligation bonds (20 percent)and incentives from Mass Save®. The Commonwealth is actively seeking other funding that will help to offset the amount of bond funds needed.
