AkWarm-C is a building energy modeling software developed under contract by AHFC.

Limitations of Study

This energy audit is intended to identify and recommend potential areas of energy savings, estimate the value of the savings, and provide an opinion of the costs to implement the recommendations. This audit meets the criteria of a Level 2 Investment Grade Audit (IGA) per the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), and is valid for one year. The life of the IGA may be extended on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of AHFC. In preparing this report, the preparers acted with the standard of care prevalent in this region for this type of work. All results are dependent on the quality of input data provided. Not all data could be verified and no destructive testing or investigations were undertaken. Some data may have been incomplete.

This report is not intended to be a final design document. Any modifications or changes made to a building to realize the savings must be designed and implemented by licensed, experienced professionals in their fields. Lighting upgrades should undergo a thorough lighting analysis to assure that the upgrades will comply with State of Alaska Statutes as well as Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations. All liabilities for upgrades, including but not limited to safety, design, and performance are incumbent upon the professional(s) who prepare the design. Coffman Engineers, Inc (CEI) and Central Alaska Engineering Company (CAEC) bear no responsibility for work performed as a result of this report.

Financial ratios may vary from those forecasted due to the uncertainty of the final installed design, configuration, equipment selected, installation costs, related additional work, or the operating schedules and maintenance provided by the owner. Furthermore, many ECMs are interactive, so implementation of one ECM may impact the performance of another ECM. CEI and CAEC accept no liability for financial loss due to ECMs that fail to meet the forecasted financial ratios.

The economic analyses for the ECMs relating to lighting improvements are based solely on energy savings. Additional benefits may be realized in reduced maintenance cost, deferred maintenance, and improved lighting quality. The new generation lighting systems have significantly longer life leading to long term labor savings, especially in high areas like Gyms and exterior parking lots. Lighting upgrades displace re-lamping costs for any fixtures whose lamps would otherwise be nearing the end of their lifecycle. This reduces maintenance costs for 3-7 years after the upgrade. An overall improvement in lighting quality, quantified by numerous studies, improves the performance of students and workers in the built environment. New lighting systems can be designed to address all of the above benefits. US Government Disclaimer

III. Energy Audit Process

Prior to visiting the school, the first task was to collect and review two years of utility data for electricity and fuel oil usage. This information was used to analyze operational characteristics, calculate energy benchmarks for comparison to industry averages, estimate savings potential and establish a baseline to monitor the effectiveness of implemented energy conservation measures. A spreadsheet was used to enter, sum, and calculate benchmarks and to graph energy use information (see Appendix A). The primary benchmark calculation used for comparison and baseline data is the Energy Utilization Index, or EUI (see Section VI). After gathering the utility data and calculating the EUI, the next step in the audit process was to review the architectural and engineering drawings to develop a building profile which documented building age, type, usage, and major energy consuming equipment or systems such as lighting, Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), water heating, refrigeration, snow-melt, and etc. The building profile is utilized to generate, and answer, all possible questions regarding the facility’s energy usage. These questions were then compared to the energy usage profiles developed during the utility data gathering step. After this information was gathered, the next step in the process was to conduct a site survey. A site survey was completed on June 29, 2011. The audit included inspecting the building systems that impact energy consumption and answering questions from the preliminary review of the school. The on-site contact during the investigation was Mr. John Grimes of the KPBSD Maintenance Department1. The following information was also collected while on site: occupancy schedules, O&M practices, building energy management program, and other information that has an impact on energy consumption. The following energy audit includes an evaluation of the information gathered, the researching of possible conservation opportunities, organizing the energy audit into a comprehensive report, and making ECM recommendations for mechanical, electrical, and building envelope improvements.

IV. Method of Analysis

Coffman Engineers (CEI) began the site survey after completing the preliminary audit tasks noted in Section II. The site survey provided critical input in deciphering where energy opportunities exist within the facility. The audit team walked the entire site to inventory the building envelope (roof, windows, etc.), the major equipment including HVAC, water heating, lighting, and equipment in kitchens, offices, and classrooms. The site survey was used to determine an understanding of how the major equipment is used. The collected data was entered into the AkWarm Commercial™ software, an energy calculating program for buildings. The data was processed by AkWarm to model a baseline from which energy conservation measures (ECMs) could be considered. The model was compared to actual utility costs to ensure the quality of baseline and proposed energy modeling performed by AkWarm. The recommended ECMs focus on building envelope, HVAC, lighting, water heating, and other electrical measures that will reduce annual energy consumption. ECMs are evaluated based on building use and processes, local climate conditions, building construction type, function, operational schedule, existing conditions, and foreseen future plans. When new equipment is proposed, energy consumption is calculated based on the manufacturer’s cataloged information where possible. Energy savings are calculated by AkWarm. Implementation of more than one ECM often affects the savings of other ECMs. The savings may in some cases be relatively higher for an ECM implemented individually than when that ECM is just one of multiple recommended ECMs. For example, implementing reduced operating schedules of inefficient lighting systems may result in a given savings. Also implementing a more efficient lighting system will add to the savings, but less than the efficient lighting would alone because there is less energy to be saved when the lights are on a reduced operating schedule. Thus, if multiple ECM’s are recommended, the combined savings must be calculated and identified appropriately in groups. In Appendix D, Energy Conservation Measures, the simple lifetime calculation is shown for each ECM. The lifetime for each ECM is estimated based on the typical life of the equipment being replaced or altered. The energy savings are extrapolated throughout the lifetime of the ECM. The total energy savings are calculated as the total lifetime multiplied by the yearly savings. Cost savings are calculated based on the historical energy costs for the building. Installation costs include labor and equipment to evaluate the initial investment required to implement and ECM. These are applied to each recommendation with simple paybacks calculated. The energy analyst’s opinions of probable cost are garnered from Means Cost Data, other industry publications, and local contractors and suppliers. In addition, where applicable, maintenance cost savings are estimated and applied to the net savings. The costs and savings are applied to calculate simple payback2 and Savings to Investment Ratio3 (SIR).These are listed in Appendix D and summarized in Table 1 of this report. The SIR is calculated as a ratio by dividing the break even cost by the initial installed cost

2 The simple payback is based on the years that it takes for the net savings to payback the net installation cost (Cost divided by Savings).

3 Savings to Investment Ratio (SIR): Break Even Cost divided by initial installed cost, where Break-Even Cost is how much can be spent and still have the measure be cost effective; it equals the Present Value (PV) of Savings over the life of the measure minus PV of maintenance costs.



V. Building Description

The Moose Pass Elementary School is a single story building with an attached two story gymnasium. Original construction of the classroom areas occurred in 1953 and multiple additions have been constructed with the latest addition occurring in 1997. The construction of the building consists of wood framing with metal siding and a crawlspace underneath all areas except the gymnasium. The school is typically occupied from 8AM to 4PM during the weekdays with extracurricular and community activities happening occasionally in the evenings and the weekends in the gymnasium area. There are an estimated 24 full time occupants of the building, including 18 children and 4 adults. There are three detached sheds at the school as well. Two sheds are used for storage of school equipment while the other shed houses the emergency generator.

Exterior walls of the main building, excluding the gymnasium area, use a double pane, wood framed window and have an estimated U-factor in the range of 0.59 BTU/hr-sf-F. The wall height of the main building is 9 feet high with an additional foot above the suspended ceiling as a soffit area, making the total wall height 10 feet. The exterior walls have been insulated using R-9 FGB (fiberglass batt) between the studs. Exterior walls of the crawlspace are insulated with two inches of extruded polystyrene insulation and the interior walls have been lined with two inch FGB. The crawlspace walls are 4 ft tall. The gym walls are 2”x8” wood stud construction at 16” on-center and are insulated with R-19 FGB insulation. The average gym wall height is 21 feet above the finished floor.

The roof system has FGB insulation above the gymnasium with an estimated R-38 insulating value. The main building was re-roofed and it is assumed that the insulation is R-38 FGB, based on the most recent classroom addition. Calculations have determined that there is approximately 1676 SF of below grade wall component, 9650 SF of above grade wall component, 8653 SF of roof assembly, and 8555 sf of concrete flooring for the main building.

The main building is heated using through-wall unit ventilators in the classroom and library areas, hot water baseboard in the office areas, and cabinet unit heaters in the hallway areas. Heat for the cabinet unit heaters is supplied from two hot water boilers which run continuously during the year. The boilers are produced by Weil McLain, Model HE-6 and are rated at 167,000 BTU input for heating. The through-wall ventilators are produced by Nesbitt and are assumed to be original equipment. This heating system is controlled using pneumatic controls. Exhaust fans for the restrooms in the main building are ducted to an exhaust fan on the roof.

The gymnasium building (including the kitchen area, the locker areas, and the restrooms) is heated and ventilated using a Jernlund 74-37580 forced air furnace. The furnace provides 550,000 BTU/hr at 6,500 CFM. The furnace provides ventilation air all year. The kitchen exhaust is provided with a 1050 CFM Vulcan range hood while the restroom/locker areas are provided with a 530 CFM rooftop mounted exhaust fan. An 890 CFM rooftop exhaust fan is provided for the mechanical room.

The three detached sheds are each heated by an electric unit heater. Each shed’s thermostat is set for 40°F. The construction of the sheds consists of 2”x4” wall construction, 16-inches on center, with two inches of batt insulation between the studs. The sheds have been elevated off of the ground using cinder blocks, but the exposed floor has not been insulated. It was assumed that the ceiling spaces of the sheds contained two inch batt insulation. The storage sheds have a total of 690 sf of above grade floors, 1638 sf of above grade wall area, and 976 sf of roof assembly.

Domestic hot water for the main building is supplied by a 50 gallon tank type electric hot water heater, manufactured by the American Water Heater Company. The domestic hot water for the attached gymnasium building is supplied by a 50 gallon tank type propane water heater, manufactured by A.O. Smith. Both water heaters are in good condition and are less than five years old.



The majority of the building areas are lit via 2-foot by 4-ft recessed 32W T-8 fluorescent lamp system with electronic ballasts. In the gymnasium, the play area is lit by 250W metal halide lights with wire screens. The exterior soffit areas to the school consist of 75W high pressure sodium (HPS) light system.



VI. Historic Energy Consumption and Cost

Tables provided in Appendix A, Energy Benchmark Data Report, represent the electric and propane gas energy usage for the surveyed facility from January 2009 to December 2010. Homer Electric provides the electricity and Suburban provides the propane to the building. Both utilities bill under their commercial rate schedules.

The electric utility bills for consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and for maximum demand in kilowatts (kW). One kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3413 BTUs. The consumption (kWh) is determined as the wattage times the hours it is running. For example, 1,000 watts running for one hour, or 500 watts running for two hours. The maximum demand is simply the sum of all electrical devices on simultaneously. For example, ten, 100 watt lights running simultaneously would create a demand of 1,000 watts (1 kW). Demand is averaged over rolling window, usually 15 minutes. Thus, the facility must be concerned not only with basic electricity usage (consumption) but also the rate at which it gets used. The basic usage charges are shown as generation service and delivery charges along with several non-utility generation charges. The propane gas supplier bills for consumption in gallons of propane. Propane is delivered under a contract to top off the tank on a monthly basis. The average heating value of propane gas is 91,800 BTUs per gallon, which is equal to approximately 0.92 Therms of energy. The average billing rates for energy use are calculated by dividing the total cost by the total usage. Based on the electric and propane utility data provided, the 2009 and 2010 costs for the energy and consumption at the surveyed facility are summarized in Table 2 below.

Table 2

Energy Cost and Consumption Data for 2009 and 2010 2009 2010 Electric 0.16 $/kWh 0.13 $/kWh Propane Gas 1.72 $/Gal 1.77 $/Gal Total Cost $33,059 $31,042 ECI 3.58 $/sf 3.36 $/sf Electric EUI 32.1 kBtu/sf 29.5 kBtu/sf Propane EUI 103.9 kBtu/sf 108.0 kBtu/sf Building EUI 144.5 kBtu/sf 146.3 kBtu/sf

The Energy Cost Index (ECI) is derived by dividing the annual cost and dividing it by the building square footage. The building square footage was calculated to be 9,245 sf. This area includes the 8,555 sf school, the 170 sf generator storage shed, the 360 sf storage shed, and the 160 sf storage shed.

The Energy Utilization Index (EUI) is a measure of a building’s energy utilization per square foot of building. This calculation is completed by converting the building’s utility consumption (propane and electric) over a specified time period, typically one year, to British Thermal Units (BTU) and dividing this number by the building square footage. EUI is a good measure of a building’s energy use and is utilized regularly for comparison of energy performance amongst buildings of similar type. The electric and propane EUI figures can be separated to analyze the comparative energy use. The EUI numbers for this facility are listed above.



VII. Equipment Inventory and Photo Survey

Following the completion of the field survey a detailed equipment list was created and is attached as Appendix C. The major equipment listed are considered to be the major energy consuming equipment in the building whose replacement could yield substantial energy savings. An approximate age was assigned to the equipment if a manufactured date was not shown on the equipment’s nameplate. As listed in the 2011 ASHRAE Handbook for HVAC Applications, Chapter 37, Table 4, the service life for the equipment along with the remaining useful life in accordance to the ASHRAE standard are also noted in the equipment list. Where there are zero (0) years remaining in the estimated useful life of a piece of equipment, this is an indication that maintenance costs are likely on the rise and more efficient replacement equipment is available which will lower the operating costs of the unit. Maintenance costs should also fall with the replacement. Additionally, photos of various equipment and the building construction were taken during the site visit. Several photos detailing the equipment and building are included in Appendix E.



VIII. Energy Conservation Measures

VIII.I School Energy Conservation Measures

ECM #1 – Turn Off Un-used Mechanical Equipment in Summer Months

It was noted during the site visit that the two boilers, two hot water heaters, supply fan to the boiler room, the furnace, and various other mechanical equipment were left on during the summer months. By turning off un-used mechanical equipment during the summer, at least $136 could be saved. The saving-to-investment ratio is infinite and payback is zero, as no investment is required and there is nothing spent to upgrade this system.

ECM #2 and #3 – Setback Thermostat

Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the gym and classrooms during unoccupied times. Reducing the temperature to 60F during unoccupied times will save approximately $1,679 for the gym and $1,457 for the classrooms. The SIR for the gym and classroom ECMs is 22.98 and 19.96, respectively.

ECM #4 – Replace the Instant Start Electronic Ballasts with Programmable Start Ballasts in all Two Lamp Fluorescent Light Fixtures in the Classrooms and Frequently Used Office Spaces, and Install Occupancy Sensors for Control.

The original two lamp fluorescent light fixtures installed in the Moose Pass School classrooms and offices were equipped with fluorescent T12 lamps, and magnetic ballasts. Nearly every light fixture has since been upgraded with T8 lamps and instant start electronic ballasts. It is recommended that the existing instant start ballasts be replaced with programmable start electronic ballasts and new occupancy sensors be installed in each classroom and office. Programmable start ballasts are recommended because occupancy sensors shorten the life of instant start ballasts, due to frequent switching.

By providing programmable start ballasts and occupancy sensor control of the classrooms and offices in Moose Pass School approximately $511 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $721. This installed cost is for the occupancy sensors only. It is recommended that the programmable start ballasts be replaced when the existing instant start ballast fails. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 10.92 and the simple payback is approximately 1.4 years.

ECM #5 – Replace Exterior Door in Shed

The existing door of the heated shed is old with a low insulation value of approximately R-1. It is recommended that this door be removed and replaced with a new R-6.25 minimum (U-0.16) insulated door. This ECM will save approximately $49 per year with a payback of 9.5 years and an SIR of 2.52.

ECM #6 – Upgrade Control System to DDC Controls

The existing controls at Moose Pass are pneumatic controls, which allow limited feedback and control of the building’s mechanical system. Upgrading the building control system to a Direct Digital Control (DDC) system will offer significantly more control over the mechanical system and allow significant



energy savings to be had. When upgrading the control system to new DDC controls there are two options: 1) installing DDC controls with new DDC compatible electric actuators or 2) installing DDC controls with electric-to-pneumatic (E/P) transducers to operate existing pneumatic actuators. The second option was evaluated in this ECM, as it will involve less material and installation costs because existing pneumatic actuators can be used. Using a DDC system for high level mechanical control will allow automatic temperature setbacks, reduced motor run time and reduced AHU operations and better outdoor air intake control. A new DDC system will cost approximately $30,000 and save $3,507 annually. The SIR for this improvement was estimated at 2.34 based on a 20 year serviceable life. The simple payback is 8.6 years.

ECM #7– Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 20%

A large portion of the school was built during the 1950’s with double paned wood-framed windows, 2x4 wall construction and a crawlspace area. The three classrooms and the library also contain unit ventilators mounted in the wall to provide ventilation and heat to the rooms. All of these items contribute to a large infiltration loss from the building, due to air leakage. Methods to decrease the infiltration into the building include: sealing around the windows and doors with caulking and insulation, gasketing the through-wall ventilators, providing gaskets to all exterior cover plates, install additional insulation to the crawlspace areas, and add weather stripping around exterior doors. Reducing infiltration by 20% with air sealing improvements will save approximately $1,280 per year and will have an initial cost of approximately $6,000. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 2.03 with a payback of 4.7 years.

ECM #8 – Replace the Instant Start Electronic Ballasts with Programmable Start Ballasts in all Four Lamp Fluorescent Light Fixtures in the Classrooms and Frequently Used Office Spaces, and Install Occupancy Sensors for Control.

The original four lamp fluorescent light fixtures installed in the Moose Pass School classrooms and offices were equipped with fluorescent T12 lamps, and magnetic ballasts. Nearly every light fixture has since been upgraded with T8 lamps and instant start electronic ballasts. It is recommended that the existing instant start ballasts be replaced with programmable start electronic ballasts and new occupancy sensors be installed in each classroom and office. Programmable start ballasts are recommended because occupancy sensors shorten the life of instant start ballasts, due to frequent switching.

By providing programmable start ballasts and occupancy sensor control of the classrooms and offices in Moose Pass School approximately $19 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $121. This installed cost is for the occupancy sensors only. It is recommended that the programmable start ballasts be replaced when the existing instant start ballast fails. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 2.03 and the simple payback is approximately 6.4 years.

ECM #9 – Replace Constant Speed Pumps with Electronically Commutated Motors

The four circulation pumps, P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4, installed in the school are constant speed pumps. New, high-efficiency pumps with electronically commutated (EC) motors have integral speed controls which read system demand. This will allow the pump to slow down with significant electrical savings. Replacing the existing motors with EC motors now (while the existing motor is still functional) will result in a $4,215 replacement cost with an annual energy savings of $241. The SIR for this replacement is 0.73



with a 17.5 year payback. However, upgrading to EC motors when the existing motors fail and are in need of repair will offer a much better payback; because the marginal cost of choosing a high efficiency EC motors over the standard replacement is only a $1,680 repair cost. This repair cost offers a simple payback of 7.0 yrs, resulting in an SIR of 1.82. The repair upgrade is recommended as it is the most cost effective option

ECM #10– Re-lamp the Existing Incandescent Light Fixtures with Compact Fluorescent Lamps

There are approximately three (3) existing 100w incandescent light fixtures located in the kitchen of Moose Pass School. By replacing the incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps approximately $34 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $120. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 1.81 and the simple payback is approximately 3.5 years.

ECM #11 - Remove Half of East Classroom Windows and Replace with Solid Wall

The school classrooms have large areas of single pane, operable windows with wooden frames. By removing half of the windows from the east-facing classrooms and filling in the space with solid insulated walls, the school would save $193 per year. At an installation cost of $3,000, the payback will be 15.5 years. By replacing the windows, the infiltration from the cracks around the existing windows would be reduced as well. The SIR for this improvement item could not be calculated in AkWarm due to the fact that the ECM could not be modeled as an improvement item in AkWarm. However, based on a 25 yr life for the new wall, the SIR is estimated to be 1.61.

ECM #12 – Replace Existing Double Door in Heated Shed

The existing double door of the heated shed is old with a low insulation value of approximately R-1.7. It is recommended that this double door be removed and replaced with a new R-6.25 minimum (U-0.16) insulated door. This ECM will save approximately $119 per year with a payback of 15.7 years and an SIR of 1.52.

ECM #13 – Replace Existing Double Doors in School

The existing double doors of the school are old with low insulation values of approximately R-1.7. It is recommended that these doors be removed and replaced with new R-6.25 minimum (U-0.16) insulated doors. This ECM will save approximately $391 per year with a payback of 15.7 years and an SIR of 1.52.

ECM #14– Replace the Instant Start Electronic Ballasts with Programmable Start Ballasts in all Fluorescent Light Fixtures in the Restrooms, and install Occupancy Sensors for Control.

The original light fixtures installed in the Moose Pass School restrooms were 4' 2 lamp T12 fluorescent surface mounted strip light fixtures with magnetic ballasts. Nearly every light fixture has since been upgraded with T8 lamps and instant start electronic ballasts. It is recommended that the existing instant start ballasts be replaced with programmable start electronic ballasts and new occupancy sensors be installed in each classroom and office. Programmable start ballasts are recommended because occupancy sensors shorten the life of instant start ballasts, due to frequent switching.



By providing programmable start ballasts and occupancy sensor control of the restrooms in Moose Pass School approximately $59 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $601. This installed cost is for the occupancy sensors only. It is recommended that the programmable start ballasts be replaced when the existing instant start ballast fails. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 1.52 and the simple payback is approximately 10.1 years.

ECM #15 –Replace Gym Lighting with T-5HO High Bay Light Fixtures, and Install Occupancy Sensors for Control

The gymnasium in the Moose Pass Elementary School is currently lit by sixteen 250W Metal Halide light fixtures. These fixtures are not compatible with occupancy sensors because of a long start time. By replacing the existing light fixtures with 4 lamp T5HO light fixtures with occupancy sensor control, approximately $273 will be saved annually with a payback of 14.5 years and a SIR of 1.10.

ECM #16 – Replace Existing Boilers and Furnace with Condensing-Burner Units

While the two cast iron boilers (B-1 and B-2) still have approximately 10 more years of service, the furnace for the gym area is original to the gym and is past its serviceable life expectancy. If the boilers and the furnace were replaced with new, high efficiency equipment, the savings would be approximately $1,924 per year at an installed cost of $30,000. The SIR ratio is 1.09 with a payback period of 15.6 years. The service life of the new boilers and furnace is approximately 25 to 30 years, according to ASHRAE.

Installing a condensing furnace as a repair when the existing furnace fails will improve the ECM to just the marginal cost of the better furnace. This option is recommended as it is more cost-effective.

ECM #17 – Replace the High Pressure Sodium Exterior Light Fixtures with LED Light Fixtures.

The existing exterior light fixtures are equipped with 100W high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps and are controlled by a photocell and a timer to shutdown the lights during the night. By replacing the existing HPS light fixtures with LED light fixtures approximately $75 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $1,125. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 1.02 and the simple payback is approximately 15.0 years.



VIII.II Administrative Controls for Energy Conservation and Optimization

While the intent of many energy conservation measures is to increase the efficiency of fuel-burning and electrical equipment, an important factor of energy consumption lies in the operational profiles which control the equipment usage. Such profiles can be managed by administrative controls and departmental leadership. They determine how and when fuel-burning and electrical equipment are used, and therefore have a greater impact on energy savings potential than simply equipment upgrades alone. Significant energy cost savings can be realized when ECMs are combined with efficient-minded operational profiles.

Operational profiles may be outlined by organization policy or developed naturally or historically. These profiles include, but are not limited to: operating schedules, equipment setpoints and control strategies, maintenance schedules, and site and equipment selection.

Optimization of operational profiles can be accomplished by numerous methods so long as the intent is reduction in energy-using equipment runtime. Due to the numerous methods of optimization, energy cost savings solely as a result of operational optimization are difficult to predict. Quantification, however, is easy to accomplish by metering energy usage during and/or after implementation of energy-saving operational profiles and ECMs. Shown below are some examples which have proven successful for other organizations.

Optimization of site selection includes scheduling and location of events. If several buildings in a given neighborhood are all lightly used after regularly occupied hours, energy savings can be found when after-hours events are consolidated and held within the most energy efficient buildings available for use. As a result, unoccupied buildings could be shut down to the greatest extent possible to reduce energy consumption.

Two operational behaviors which can be combined with equipment upgrades are operating schedules and equipment control strategies including setpoints. Occupancy and daylight sensors can be programmed to automatically shut off or dim lighting when rooms are unoccupied or sufficiently lit from the sun. Operating schedules can be optimized to run equipment only during regular or high-occupancy periods. Also, through a central control system, or with digital programmable thermostats, temperature setpoints can be reduced during low-occupancy hours to maximize savings. In addition, sporadically used equipment can be shut down during unoccupied hours to further save energy. In general, having equipment operating in areas where no occupants are present is inefficient, and presents an opportunity for energy savings.

Operational profiles can also be implemented to take advantage of no- or low-cost ECMs. Examples include heating plant optimizations (boiler section cleaning, boiler flush-through cleaning) and tighter controls of equipment setbacks and shutdowns (unoccupied zones equipment shutdown, easier access to and finer control of equipment for after-hours control). In a large facility management program, implementation of these measures across many or all sites will realize dramatic savings due to the quantity of equipment involved.

Changes to building operational profiles can only be realized while simultaneously addressing health, safety, user comfort, and user requirements first. It is impractical to expect users to occupy a building or implement operational behaviors which do not meet such considerations. That said, it is quite practical for management groups to implement administrative controls which reduce losses brought about by excess and sub-optimum usage.

* ECMs #1, #6, #11 and #16 in the Executive Summary at the beginning of the report were modeled with separate AkWarm models for each ECM, due to the modeling limitations of improvement items in AkWarm. As a result, ECMs #1, #6, #11 and #16 from the Executive Summary are not additive measures and therefore are not included in Appendix D.
