materials and labor required for or used in the installation of the Conservation Measures,(c)the installation
of the Conservation Measures,or(d)the identification,handling and disposal of any associated hazardous
waste materials.
7. Disclaimer.PSE conducts energy analyses at the request of its customers to determine the extent to which
conservation measures are cost—effective.Any estimate of energy savings made by PSE in connection with
any such analyses is solely for the purpose of determining the cost—effectiveness of the particular
conservation measures and not to be used for any other purpose.PSE has not and does not make any
promise,warranty or representation with respect to any savings in energy consumption from Conservation
Measures.
8. Termination.In the event a Participant's contribution to PSE's recovery of energy efficiency program costs

ATTACHMENT C
TO CONSERVATION GRANT
Conservation Measure(s)shall consist of the following:
FOR BASE INCENTIVE:
A. System Upgrade Requirements: Upgrade HVAC controls with a new DDC system. Control
features shall at least include those listed in attachment D requirements checklist. Not all
individual HVAC systems will receive all the upgrades proposed but each system will receive
energy efficient upgrades.
B. Facility Guide: Contractor shall provide a Facility Guide to the building operator(s) which
includes the items in the "PSE Facility Guide Outline" dated 2-26-15. The Facility Guide shall be
in both written and electronic format and remotely accessible by the operator, preferably with
a link from the DDC user interface.
C. Operator Training: Contractor shall provide training based on the Facility Guide instructing the
building operator on the proper operation of the building control system.
D. Functional Performance Testing: Contractor shall complete the Controls Upgrade Functional
Performance Tests (FPT) provided or pre-approved by PSE. These tests must show that the FPT
passed, indicating the controls are operating to meet the approved sequences of operation and
that all features are installed. PSE will review the FPTs and provide guidance for If the submitted
tests do not demonstrate that the controls are working and installed to meet the requirements,
PSE will provide written feedback on what is not working and needs to be modified/resubmitted.
The contractor will then be given an opportunity to submit the tests and demonstrate that the
system operates as specified. If the second set of FPTs does not demonstrate that the systems
are meeting the requirements, PSE may adjust or remove an incentive. PSE has discretion to pay
incentives due to extenuating circumstances.
The above specifications are solely for the purpose of defining energy-related components of Conservation Measure(s)for which
the Grant is offered.Puget Sound Energy is not responsible for ensuring the health,safety,comfort,or well-being of workers or
facility occupants or the suitability of equipment selected for the intended application. It is the responsibility of the grant
Participant and the Participant's hired designers,contractors,consultants to ensure compliance of the Conservation Measure(s)
with Participant's needs and all applicable codes and standards.

ATTACHMENT C
TO CONSERVATION GRANT
Conservation Measure(s)shall be verified as follows prior to Grant payment:
FOR BASE INCENTIVE:
A. Contractor shall provide PSE the final sequences of operations for pre-approval prior to
installation. PSE will verify the written sequences of operation meet the requirements.
B. Contractor shall verify and document proper installation and operation of the DDC system to
PSE and Owner, using the Functional Performance Tests (FPTs) provided or approved by PSE.
Typically, the contractor will be given a maximum of two chances to provide submittals that
demonstrate proper operation.
C.After the FPT results are provided showing the system is operating correctly, PSE will do a site
visit and may repeat any test procedures. Controls contractor and/or commissioning agent must
be present to run through these tests and manipulate the controls system as requested by PSE.
D. PSE will verify on-site and/or through screenshots that the DDC graphical user interface meets
the program requirements.
E. PSE will verify that the Facility Guide is onsite and is accessible to the operator both in paper
and electronically.
F. Training of operators will be verified for PSE by the operators accomplishing the following
tasks:
1. Describing the training received from the contractor and satisfaction with the training.
2. Demonstrating the ability to display and set normal and temporary schedules and set points.
3. Describing the basic system controls such as: duct static reset, DAT reset, optimum start,
economizing, zone scheduling, night setback and warm-up.
4. Demonstrating how to set up trends of simultaneous points and view graphs and data. FOR
PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE: A. PSE shall review and analyze metered energy data and any
facility changes provided by the owner to determine if the system is operating efficiently to
meet or exceed 6% savings for the facility. The method of performance savings analysis is listed
previously in this grant agreement attachment. To assist in this analysis the customer will
provide a list of changes to the building and operations that significantly impact the energy
usage during the performance period. This information will include trends of the new box fans
for the fan energy use adjustment. Specific project deliverables required from Participant prior
to Grant payment include: See grant attachment.
