An energy performance contract(EPC) is a performance-based financing mechanism that enables a client organization to leverage the technical and financial capacity of an energy service company(ESCO) to design, build, and secure financing to improve energy management practices and/or retrofits within a facility or group of facilities. This contracting model is a low-risk, turnkey service that delivers guaranteed energy and cost savings. The ESCO assumes some, or all, of the initial capital costs, and the client repays the ESCO over a specified period from the resulting utility cost savings. After the contract closes, the client receives ongoing savings from energy, GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions, and utility costs. 2, record 1, English, - energy%20performance%20contract

Un contrat de performance énergétique (CPE) est un mécanisme de financement fondé sur la performance qui permet à une organisation cliente de tirer parti des capacités techniques et financières d'une ESE [entreprise de services énergétiques] pour créer et obtenir un financement dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques de gestion de l'énergie ou de réaliser un projet de modernisation dans un bâtiment ou un groupe de bâtiments. Ce modèle de contrat est un service clé en main à faible risque qui permet de garantir des économies d'énergie et de coûts. L'ESE prend en charge une partie ou la totalité des coûts d'investissement initiaux, et le client rembourse l'ESE sur une période déterminée grâce aux économies réalisées sur les coûts des services publics. Après la conclusion du contrat, le client continue de profiter d'économies d'énergie et de coûts des services publics ainsi que d'une réduction des émissions de GES [gaz à effet de serre]. 2, record 1, French, - march%C3%A9%20de%20services%20%C3%A9co%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tiques

A computer program that uses knowledge and inference procedures to solve difficult problems. The knowledge necessary to perform at such a level, plus the inference procedures used, can be thought of as a model of the expertise of skilled practitioners. In contrast to expert systems, knowledge systems are often designed to solve small, difficult problems rather than large problems requiring true human expertise. In many cases, small knowledge systems derive their utility from their userfriendly nature rather than from their ability to capture knowledge that would be difficult to represent in a conventional program. 2, record 25, English, - knowledge%20system
