“How to dramatically cut your facilities’ energy costs and CO2

emissions by as much as 50%, achieve optimum energy efficiency of up to 85% and attain the highest

building energy star ratings”

TechnologiesTES Energy Centre

“TES installed The Ark Building’s trigeneration plant which is capable of meeting a large proportion of our electricity demand, generates hot water and chilled water from its waste heat, and eliminates the need for an emergency gen set, making the energy utilization 85% energy efficient and at the same time substantially reducing carbon emissions every year.”

Introduction

The latest 2010 Colliers International’s Office Tenant Survey revealed sustainability has increased in importance since 2008 and is a major factor for tenants in their leasing decisions.

Property asset owners and operators who have implemented sustainability improvements are now reaping the benefits of:

• reducedenergycosts • significantcarbonemissionreductions • higherenergystarratings • enhancedassetvalue • higherrentalreturnsfromlongtermleasingagreementswithbluechiptenants

How a facility owner or operator can achieve these sustainable outcomes is the main topic for this booklet.

The state of the office and service facilities market is rapidly changing...

• Largecorporateblue-chiptenantswhoaretargetingtobecomecarbonneutral businesses, demand the highest energy star rated office and service facilities, for their tenancies.

• Tenantsalsoperceivea“Green”buildingashavinghighstakeholdervalueandthey are prepared to pay higher rent in return for long term, lower operating costs, enhanced employee satisfaction, productivity, health and safety, and improved corporate environmental credentials.1

• Owner/operatorsofenergyefficientbuildingsandfacilitiesnotonlybenefitfrom attractinglongtermqualitytenantsbutalsofuture-prooftheirpropertyassets’earnings and long term sustainable value through lower overall costs and higher rental returns.

• AmajorstudycompletedbyArupandDavisLangdonforthePropertyCouncilofAustralia in 2009 had shown that sustainable refurbishment of existing older building produces a return of better than 10% on investment while ensuring that the asset remains competitive with contemporary buildings.

• Fornewcommercialdevelopments,amere2%ofconstructioncostsinvestedupfront in sustainability yields life cycle savings of over ten times the initial investment.2

• Theissuehoweveristhatthemajorityofcommercialbuildingsandfacilitiesinkey capital cities of Australia are still on average lower than or at best 2.5 energy star ratings.3

In the future it is possible that mandatory energy star rating disclosure will be expanded to include other types of properties such as shopping centres, hotels, and hospitals. This will have a similar impact on sale or lease of low energy star rated facilities.

Terminology Explained

There are a number of terms used which refer to the CoGeneration and TriGeneration technologies. Herefollowsarangeofcommonacronymsyoumayfindusedinthemarket,withasimpleexplanation of their meanings.

• CHP – Combined Heat and Power. This is another way of saying “cogeneration”, as the plant is producing two outputs from the one fuel (typically natural gas): electricity (Power)andwasteheat(Heat)tobeusedtomakehotwaterforexample.

• CCHP – Combined Cooling Heat and Power – This is another way of saying “TriGeneration”, as the plant is producing three outputs: electricity (Power), waste heat (Heat)andchilledwater(Cooling).

• DEG – Distributed Energy Generation – This may refer to just generating electricity, but often applies to cogeneration or trigeneration plants. It is making the point that the generation plant is not a traditional centralised power station, like the coal fired power stations in Australia.

TheDEGplantwillbelocatedon-siteorclosertotheendusers,reducingtheelectricity losses associated with the transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances from centralised power stations to end users. Typically these plants will be fuelled by natural gas.

• Embedded Generation – This description confirms that the cogeneration or trigeneration plant is located on the end user’s site. Typically the majority of the electricity and waste heat produced by the plant will be used by the end user, but it still may be possible for the end user to export surplus power, if commercially warranted.

• Energy Centre – This is the term used by TES to cover a number of leading edge technologies which can be integrated to produce a power, heating and cooling solution on the client’s site which best meets the needs of our client. Effectively this becomes a multi-gensolution.

The TES Energy Centre may for example combine a natural gas Trigeneration plant with RenewableSolarEnergyGeneration,GroundSourceHeatPumps,HighEfficiencyElectric Chillers,GasandElectricHeatPumps,toachievetheoptimumbalancebetweenlow carbon, energy efficiency and lowest energy cost.

As part of our standard energy efficiency methodology, TES engineers review the current level of energy and water consumption at the client’s facility to see what options may be available to reduce electrical and thermal demand to start with.

If TES can first upgrade the efficiency of the facility’s operations to reduce energy and water waste, a smaller, more energy efficient TES Energy Centre can be recommended. The result will be a less expensive Energy Centre, operating at higher efficiency, saving more energy, costing less to operate and being more reliable.

This higher value outcome for our clients differentiates us from the competition in the CHP market place, where the standard industry approach from CHP suppliers is to supply an engine sized to meet current inefficiencies.

TES has also worked with numerous electricity networks owners and is experienced in successfully negotiating the network agreements necessary before Energy Centres can be approved to operate.

CO2 Savings: Nearly 40% if no TESEC Plant was installed, which represents about 1,300 tonnes per year.

The Prince Charles Hospital

This is a major tertiary level cardiothoracic referral hospital, and with 588 beds, on a 30 hectare area, its the largest such facility in Australia.

TES has undertaken a comprehensive energy efficiency upgrade of the hospital, implementing multiple technologies under an Energy Performance Contract(EPC)withQueenslandHealthwhichwill save 59% of the hospital’s electricity costs representing a saving to the hospital of $1,223,667 every year.

Project Details -TESdesignedandinstalledthefollowing TES Energy Centre (TESEC):A 1.6 MW Natural Gas Cogeneration Plant producing electricity and hot water, to operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

CO2 Savings: 31.3% if no TESEC Plant installed, which represents over 7,000 tonnes per year.

The TESEC provides about 80% of the building’s electrical requirements, hot water for bathrooms &kitchenettes,andchilledwaterforspace air conditioning.

The TESEC also provides emergency power to the building in the event of a blackout without the cost, space and maintenance of diesel generators. The TESEC can provide all core tenant functions within 30 seconds of a network failure.

The TESEC also operates with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System to achieve “World’s Best Practice” in emission control (below 50 mg per m3) and is enclosed in an acoustic enclosure to ensure noise levels are below Brisbane City Council and QldEPAresidentialrequirements.

It comprises a gym, 2 x 25 metre pools, a hydrotherapy pool, 2 x spas, a sauna, water playground and other sporting facilities. Its is managed by the YMCA.

Project Details-TESdesignedandinstalledthefollowing TES Energy Centre (TESEC): A 235 KWe Natural Gas Packaged Cogeneration System from Schmitt Enertec which produces 65% of the electricity requirements of the leisure centre and 36% of the hot water heating requirements for the swimming pools.

The compact nature of the TESEC made it possible to lift the unit into position using a crane, after removing a section of the leisure centre’s roof. The TESEC is scheduled to begin operation in March, 2011.
