Strategic Energy Management 2023 Impact Report (PDF)

Report Highlights:

Overall, Klamath Community College achieved 158,122 kWh, 9.6%, electricity energy savings and 528 therms, 2.6% natural gas energy savings compared to their baseline annual energy consumption. The following table shows Program Year 2023 savings, and below the tables are notes describing what each
column represents.

Electric/Gas Baseline is the annual energy use during the period prior to the program/model start date.

SEM Incremental Savings includes savings specific to SEM activities that occurred in the current engagement year (does not include capital savings). For continuation participants, this is your incremental incentivized savings that exceed SEM savings from previous years.

Total Incentive is the SEM Incremental Savings (kWh) x $0.02 plus SEM Incremental Savings (therms) x $0.20

Report Highlights:

2022 was another strong year in SEM by the KCC energy team. In their five active years in the program, Mike and team have repeatedly stepped up to new opportunities to learn and grow in their project execution, planning and organization. This shows in their achievement of all eligible milestones, and the significant improvement in their Energy Management Assessment (EMA) score: from 22% in 2020, to 42% in 2022.

Strategic Energy Management 2020 Impact Report (PDF)

Report Highlights:

In 2020, KCC laid the groundwork to grow the impact of their Energy Team; and completed a virtual Building Opportunity Assessment (BOA) and an Energy Management Assessment (EMA). The EMA revealed an organization well positioned to develop a comprehensive energy management system.

Electric/Gas Baseline is the annual energy use during the period prior to the program/model start date.

Modeled Savings iincludes annual SEM and capital savings. This is calculated by taking the energy predicted by the model for the full year, minus the actual/billed energy used.

SEM Savings includes savings specific to SEM activities that occurred in the current engagement year (does not include capital savings).

Total Incentive is the SEM Incremental Savings (kWh) x $0.02 plus SEM Incremental Savings (therms) x $0.20

 Avoided Cost Savings is the money saved based on multiplying your Modeled Savings by a blended
Oregon utility rate (electric or gas) for all commercial Energy Trust customers.
