Welcome to the first quarterly
newsletter of the Retrocommissioning Services &
Incentives Program! The Program is now offering
financial incentives and technical assistance to
help Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E)
commercial customers save energy and money through
retrocommissioning (RCx).
RCx can help building owners and
managers improve the performance of a building's
systems, achieve energy savings, and improve occupant
comfort. Through low-cost, quick payback
operational improvements, an RCx project can reduce
total building energy costs by 5-20%. Visit
www.RCx-Program.com to learn more about the Program's
incentives and process.

Qualified Pool of RCx
Providers
 To provide technical
services, the Program has qualified 101 RCx providers
at 39 different firms. The qualified
providers were selected for their expertise in
identifying O&M-type energy savings opportunities
and experience in previous RCx projects, and have
participated in orientation trainings for the RCx
programs. Participating customers choose an RCx
provider. The RCx provider then conducts the
investigation to identify energy-saving measures, works
with the building owner and staff to select
cost-effective measures for implementation, and provides
follow-up documentation and training.

Retrocommissioning Services & Incentives
Program Partners with ENERGY STAR®
 The
Retrocommissioning Services & Incentives Program has
teamed up with EPA's ENERGY STAR to provide pre- and
post-project EPA Energy Performance Ratings for all
participating buildings that are eligible for the
rating. The initial rating serves as an indicator
of how the building is currently performing, while the
post-project rating shows how RCx measures impact energy
performance over time. At the conclusion of the
project, the Program will help building owners set up
their own accounts to continue to track their
facilities' energy performance. ENERGY STAR is a
government-backed program helping businesses and
individuals protect the environment through superior
energy management. For more information or to
join, visit the website at www.energystar.gov. | |

construction, customer operation, age of existing
equipment, and location.
