JointEnergy Committee
The City of Virginia Beach’s Joint Energy Committee (JEC) was created in the spring of
2007 in response to the City’s rising energy costs.
The JEC includes representatives from both the City and Schools that have been
identified to date as the largest energy consumers, as well as representatives
from the Department of Management Services.
The Joint Energy Committee is jointly chaired David L. Hansen, Deputy City Manager
and Dale Holt, Assistant Superintendent
The JEC meets on the first Thursday of the month and agendas include
?
vendor presentations, study findings, consumption updates and energy-
reducing technology.
Represented: Communication/Information Technology, Libraries, Museums,
?
Parks & Recreation, Public Safety, Public Utilities, Public Works, Virginia
Beach Convention Center, Virginia Beach Public Schools and Dominion
Power.
In 2007, the JEC set the energy reduction
3
goal at 10% in five years.

Building Control Problems and
b.
Inefficient Facilities
4. Track buildings after work; Perform Energy Savings Measurement
& Verification

a.
By Department, By ‘Like’ Buildings, etc.
b.
Energy Star Portfolio automated Uploading (ranks our
building’s against others nationally)
c.
Track and Report Greenhouse Gas Emissions
d.
Cost allocation by square footage

FY 12 Retro-Commissioning (EECBG Grant Funds)
Retro-commissioning (RCx) is a systematic, documented process that
identifies low-cost operational and maintenance improvements in
existing buildings and brings the buildings up to the design
intentions of its current usage.

Way Forward for Energy
The Chairman of Duke Energy told the Southern Governors’ Association in
August 2011 that consumers can expect to see energy prices rise by 30
percent or more over the next decade.
Makes our efforts to monitor & manage municipal energy use all the more critical…
