Willdan Group, Inc. announced that it has been selected by Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) to implement the utilitys Commercial Energy Management Technology (EMT) for Lodging Program. This two-year, $2.5 million program will bring EMT-system-based, natural-gas-saving energy efficiency projects to participating small and medium-sized lodging customers consuming 50,000 therms or less annually.

This is Willdans first pay-for-performance contract that uses the Normalized Metered Energy Consumption method, which measures energy savings based on changes seen at the utility meter instead of savings from deemed measures, energy models, or white paper studies.

SoCalGas is committed to helping our customers improve energy efficiency and keep their utility bills affordable, said Dan Rendler, director of customer programs and assistance at SoCalGas. The Commercial Energy Management Technology for Lodging Program was designed to increase savings to lodging customers through energy efficient upgrades and sophisticated data measurement tools. We are eager to see how the program will help lodging companies use natural gas more efficiently and save money.

Willdan will begin each project by performing a building energy audit and proposing an energy efficiency project plan based on the customers needs and budget. Data measurement commences after new equipment, including the EMT system, have been installed. In addition to measuring and verifying energy savings, Willdan will provide engineering, technical, and administrative assistance to customers through the duration of the program. The Program offers incentives upfront to help offset customer out-of-pocket costs, and upon confirmation of energy savings, customers will receive additional incentives based on actual natural gas savings, capped at 50 percent of project costs.

The Commercial Energy Management Technology for Lodging Program is one of several energy efficiency programs that Willdan has implemented to benefit lodging customers.
