New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 8 - EDUCATION DEPARTMENT › Chapter II - Regulations of the Commissioner › Subchapter J - Buildings And Transportation › Part 155 - Educational Facilities › Section 155.20 - Energy performance contracts

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The following procedures consistent with
				  Energy Law, section
				  9-103(8), and Education
				  Law, sections
				  305(27) and
				  3602(6)(i)(5)(i)(b) and
				  (c) shall apply to energy performance
				  contracts entered into by a school district or a board of cooperative
				  educational services (BOCES) on or after July 1, 1998, provided that this
				  section shall not apply to energy performance contracts for which a request for
				  proposals was entered into prior to July 1, 1998.
(b) Definitions. For the purposes of this
				  section:
(1) Energy performance contract
				  shall mean an agreement for the provision of energy services, including but not
				  limited to electricity, heating, ventilation, cooling, steam or hot water, in
				  which a person agrees to install, maintain or manage energy systems or
				  equipment to improve the energy efficiency of, or produce energy in connection
				  with, a building or facility in exchange for a portion of the energy savings or
				  revenues.
(2) Simple payback period
				  shall mean a measure of the length of time required for the cumulative cost
				  savings, net of cumulative future costs, from an investment in an energy
				  conservation project to pay back the investment cost, without taking into
				  account the time value of money, or the differential energy price escalation
				  rate, or the State building aid payable for the project.
(3) Energy savings shall mean the positive
				  difference between the energy and associated cost before the retrofit and its
				  estimated cost after the retrofit of a proposed alternative building system,
				  taking into account all types of energy effected.
(4) Cost savings shall mean the positive
				  difference between the operation and maintenance cost before the retrofit and
				  its established operation and maintenance cost after the retrofit.
(5) Co-generation shall mean the simultaneous
				  production of electricity and thermal energy. Typical systems utilize natural
				  gas engines to turn electric generators thereby producing electricity, which
				  reduces utility costs. Waste heat captured from the natural gas combustion
				  process can be used to produce domestic hot water, provide space heat in winter
				  or air conditioning in summer when used in conjunction with absorption
				  chillers.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024

				  useful life of the building. Building aid cost allowances shall not exceed the
				  maximum cost allowance for the projected useful life of a new building,
				  addition or reconstruction and alterations, using a declining balance method.
				  Once the maximum cost allowance has been exhausted, no further building aid
				  shall be calculated until the projected useful life span has been
				  exhausted.
(3) The architect or
				  engineer of record shall certify to the commissioner the probable useful life
				  of any capital construction work submitted to the commissioner.
(4) The architect or engineer of record shall
				  provide documentation to the commissioner regarding the proper operation and

				  life, the following shall apply: 30 years for new buildings; 20 years for
				  additions; 15 years for reconstruction projects.
(6) The commissioner may reduce the probable
				  useful life expectancy for purposes of the calculation of building aid upon a
				  finding that replacement or renovation of the existing building is necessary to
				  protect the health and safety of students or staff, and that the need to
				  replace or renovate the building was not caused by a failure to properly
				  operate and maintain the building.
