Common use of ENGINEERING ANALYSIS Clause in Contracts

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS. The Contractor shall provide a detailed engineering analysis documenting the basis for the recommended ECO analyzed. Analyses shall include a list of assumptions, supporting data, formulae used, technical justification, and references to substantiate the energy and cost savings likely to be realized from ECO implementation. The analysis shall evaluate current, state-of-the-art technology applicable for optimization of energy efficiency of the existing equipment, software, firmware, systems or devices. The Contractor shall utilize utility records representative of the last consecutive 12-month utility billing history of energy consumption for electricity, natural gas, and other fuel used. The accuracy of the baseline assumptions is critical in correctly evaluating and estimating the energy saved. The Contractor shall use an energy balance to evaluate the reasonableness of the baseline energy and estimated energy savings. The Contractor shall identify, evaluate, and make recommendations related to optimization of FMS, EMS, and other controls required for turn-key operation of proposed ECPs.
