This report contains detailed case study information on six institutions that have completed Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs). These are: Halmemann Medical College and Hospital; Massachusetts General Hospital; Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority; George Washington University; Endicott College; and Augusta College. The second part of this report, ''User's Guide to CONVEST'', describes alternative forms of financing and serves as documentation for a conservation investment analysis program known as CONVEST, designed to assess the relative merits of alternative means of financing energy conservation projects. CONVEST is an IBM PC or IBM PC-compatible software program. It allows the institution to analyze alternative conservation investment options including third party financing, commercial loans, municipal bonds, government grants, internal financing or any combination. CONVEST analyzes the costs and benefits to each participant in the investment: the institution or first party; the Energy Service Company or second party; and the supplier of capital or third party. A minidisk is included in Part 2 of this report. 8 refs., 6 figs., 12 tabs.
