ESPs must have the demonstrated technical and managerial capabilities to address a broad range of building energy systems and provide a comprehensive set of energy services. Energy systems include, but are not limited to, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, windows, insulation and energy management controls, life safety measures that provide long-term, operating-cost reductions, building operation programs that reduce operating costs, other energy-conservation-related improvements, including improvements or equipment related to renewable energy, and other natural resources conservation, including accuracy and measurement of water distribution and/or consumption, and other equipment, services and improvements providing energy efficiency. Energy services include, but are not limited to, an investment grade technical energy audit and report; the design, acquisition, installation, modification maintenance, commissioning, monitoring and training in the operation of new and/or existing energy systems which will reduce energy consumption associated with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the lighting system, building envelope, water usage, and other energy using devices, as well as for savings which would not reduce consumption per se, but are aimed at cost savings related to energy use, such as sewage, solid waste collection, fuel switching or demand reductions.
