What is Automatic Energy Review for Schools (AERS)?
Southern California Edison, is sponsoring a new
program that provides automatic design review and high
performance benchmarking for your new construction
or modernization project. The program is designed to
work within the existing DSA approval process to ensure
that your project contains the most cost effective high
performance measures available.
Edison’s technical consultants will:
• Review your energy model and project design
• Create a report that shows how your project ranks with
other similar schools and lists potential energy efficiency
measures for your consideration
• Meet with district and design
team members to go over the
recommendations
The focus is on identifying practical,
cost-effective measures that will be
useful in meeting or exceeding current
Title 24 Energy and High Performance
Goals. Edison’s consultants will
evaluate potential changes for their
impact on energy use, budget and schedule and the
report will rank the measures accordingly. Incentives to
offset incremental measure cost, DSA high performance
energy plan review fee and design team revision
fees will also be identified. Recommendations will be
presented well before scheduled back check so that
district and design team can consider the value of each
recommended measure and make a final determination
about possible design revisions.
Why Automatic Energy Review?
Edison wants to encourage districts to take one last
look at efficiency during the review and approval
process. This is the most cost effective time to
consider newer, yet proven, technologies that
will save operating costs and make schools more
comfortable and productive for years to come.
What Do I Get From the Program?
The program provides:
• A free Design Review and Benchmark Report
• Assistance with DSA’s HPS program enrollment and
verification, if applicable
• Incentive dollars which can be used to offset DSA’s
fee for HPS review
• Incentive dollars which can be used to offset costs
of minor design modifications
• Assistance with acceptance testing protocols,
commissioning and other energy requirements
• Sample specification sheets and schedules
• Estimates of energy savings and payback
• Estimates of operation and maintenance impacts
• Assistance in obtaining recognition and reward for
energy-efficient design
