APS will rely on the selected Energy Manager to provide the following: 1. Leadership -- Through teamwork, effective communication, collaboration and organization, be the keeper of the ‘big picture’ sustainability plan for APS. Provide foresight in assessing and defining organizational functions, roles, responsibilities, and key metrics. Help define and prioritize deliverables. Create simple standard processes for communication, coordination and advance executive approval. Look constantly for undiscovered opportunities to collaborate, increase efficiency, and eliminate waste. 2. Documentation -- Capture and organize all information concerning the APS sustainability effort. This will include building performance data, lists of conservation projects with deadlines and calculated/anticipated savings, Building Automation System trend logs, minutes from strategic meetings with identified action items, and a transparent, defensible back up of data supporting reported conservation results. Support and/or maintain a comprehensive database of utility data for all APS sites, along with construction project history, enrollment, and other information pertinent to management/analysis of the District’s resources. 3. Analysis -- Evaluate existing APS energy measurement/monitoring tools and determine how best to translate available data into useable, actionable information. Audit individual schools to gain a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the APS environments in which systems are maintained and energy is consumed.
