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.

II. Introduction
This energy audit was conducted at the Anchorage School District Operations Building. The building
itself is 3,061 square feet (sf), and has 4,759 sf of portable buildings connected to its electrical service for
a total area of 7,820 sf. The location of the building is shown in the following regional and overhead
images. The energy audit was conducted in order to evaluate areas and equipment where energy savings
can be realized. The savings are then compared to a baseline and evaluated for reasonable project
financial ratios and payback.

III. Energy Audit Process
Prior to visiting the facility, the first task was to collect and review two years of utility data for electricity
and natural gas 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 July 19, 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. Bob Holben of the Anchorage School District Facilities
Department. However, Mr. Holben has since left the school district, and Mr. Paul Kapinos of the
Anchorage School District Operations Department has been the point of contact1. 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
Having completed the preliminary energy audit tasks, Coffman Engineers, Inc., (CEI) conducted a site
survey. The site survey provides critical input in deciphering where energy savings opportunities exist
within a facility. The audit team from CEI walked the entire site to inventory and investigate the building
envelope and major equipment, including: HVAC, water heating, lighting, and equipment located in
offices and kitchen. An understanding of how the equipment is used is determined during the site survey.
The collected data was entered into AkWarm Commercial™ software, an energy calculating program for
buildings. The data was processed by AkWarm to model a baseline from which ECMs could be
considered. The model was compared to actual utility costs to ensure the quality of the baseline and
proposed energy modeling performed by AkWarm. The recommended ECMs focus on the 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. 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 are calculated and identified appropriately in groups.
In Appendix D, Energy Conservation Measures, the simple lifetime calculation is shown for each ECM,
which is based on the typical life of the equipment being replaced or altered. The energy savings are
extrapolated throughout the simple lifetime of the ECM. The total energy savings is calculated as the total
lifetime multiplied by the yearly energy savings.
The cost savings and installation costs are used to calculate simple payback2 and the Savings to
Investment Ratio3 (SIR). These are listed in Appendix D and summarized in the Executive Summary
Table of this report. The SIR is calculated as a ratio by dividing the break even cost by the initial installed
cost. Cost savings is calculated based on the historical energy costs for the building. Installation costs
include labor and equipment to evaluate the initial investment required to implement an ECM. These are
applied to each recommendation with simple paybacks calculated. The energy analyst’s opinions of
probable cost are garnered from RS 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.
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 ASD Operations Building is a single story office building with one “bull rail” and three portable
buildings connected to the electrical service. The parking lot bull rail allows vehicles and maintenance
equipment to plug into a power source. The Operations Building was constructed in 1988 and has offices,
meeting rooms, cubicle work areas, a kitchen/break room, two restrooms, and utility spaces. The office
building is regularly occupied by 12 people from 7am to 5pm every day from Monday to Friday. The
three portables are used for heated storage and are only occupied several hours a day when equipment is
taken in or out of the portable.
V.I Operations Building
The Operation Building has 2x6 wood stud wall construction at 24” on-center, with R-19 fiberglass batt
insulation in between the studs and drywall on the interior face. The exterior face of the wall is precast
concrete with a gravel pebble finish. Exterior walls are 12 feet high and interior ceiling height is 10 feet.
There is approximately 2,680 square feet of wall on the office building.
Floor construction for the office building is slab-on-grade with 2” of rigid edge insulation that extends to
two feet below grade. There is 3,061 square feet of floor area.
Roof construction for the office building is EPDM roofing membrane covering rigid insulation on top of
decking. The roof is supported by beams on 24” centers. The roof is a flat roof. According to the original
architectural drawings, the rigid insulation of the hot roof is 3.5” thick. There is 3,061 square feet of
roofing on the office building.
The office building is heated with one natural gas fired boiler and perimeter hydronic baseboards. The
natural draft boiler was manufactured in 1983 by Burnham and is model P-207-W. The boiler input is
rated at 198,000 Btu/hr and is approximately 76% efficient.
The nameplate for the building’s roof top AHU was missing during the site visit. The AHU fan motor is a
3 HP motor manufactured by Vanguard, with a nameplate nominal efficiency of 85%. This AHU, a
rooftop unit, has been out of service, unmaintained, and disconnected for some time. Visual inspection of
the exterior housing and of the interior ductwork above the ceiling tiles showed that the system requires
significant investment of time and material in order to be operational again. A “Note regarding
Ventilation Systems” is included in Section VIII.I.
Domestic hot water heating for the office building is supplied by a 50 gal standard updraft domestic hot
water heater manufactured by Standard. The domestic hot water consumption of the building was
estimated at 12 gallons per day, based on typical office usage patterns developed by ASHRAE.
The majority of the building areas are lit via 2 foot by 4 foot recessed 34W T-12 fluorescent light fixtures
with a mixture of electronic and magnetic ballasts, however there are a few 2 foot by 2 foot T-12 U-tube
fluorescent light fixtures with magnetic ballasts. With the exception of the kitchen all of the fixtures are
controlled by wall mounted rocker switches. No means of lighting control was observed in the kitchen
and it is assumed that these two 2 foot by 2 foot fixtures are used as nightlights.

Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/11/2012 8 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-04
V.II Portable Buildings
The three portables have 2x4 wood stud wall construction at 16” on-center with R-11 fiberglass batt
insulation in between the studs. The exterior face of the wall is T1-11 siding with drywall on the interior
side of the wall. Interior and exterior wall height is nine feet under the roof eaves, and the end-walls vary
in height from nine feet at the eaves to 11 feet at the roof peak in the center of the endwall. One portable
typically has 1,170 sq ft of exterior wall area.
The portables have above grade floors resting on sleepers. Plywood skirting protects the sleepers and
floor construction from weather. The floor construction is plywood flooring resting on 2x8 wood joists. It
is estimated that the floor has R-19 fiberglass batt insulation. One portable typically has 1,000 sq ft of
floor area.
The portables are all covered by hot roofs, with shingles covering plywood decking. It is estimated that
the roof insulation is R-19 fiberglass batt insulation. One portable typically has 1,000 sq ft of roof area.
All three portables are heated with electric resistance perimeter baseboards and electric unit heaters. The
electric baseboard temperature set point is controlled by a dial thermostat on each individual baseboard.
This makes it easy for the electric baseboards to be left on at higher temperatures than is required. Due to
the need to keep these buildings moveable and due to combustion safety issues, the Anchorage School
District wishes to keep all portable buildings on electric heat and is not interested in utilizing natural gas
heating at this time.
The lighting in the three portables is typically 2 tube, 4ft long, T-12 lighting with magnetic ballasts.
Typically T-12 lights can be cost effectively retrofitted with new efficient T-8 lighting. However, due to
the low operational use of the portables and low run time of the lights (15 hrs/week) improving the T-12
lighting to T-8 lighting is not cost effective. In the future, this lighting retrofit will be cost effective if the
portable lighting is utilized more hours during the week.
Due to the fact that the three on-site portables have similar building envelope construction and
heating equipment, only one AkWarm model was created to model one portable building. The
standardized model was created using 1,000 sf per unit. The results and recommended ECMs generated
by this single portable AkWarm model should be extrapolated and applied to each of the three portable
buildings. On this facility, the total portable unit floor area measured 4,759 sf. The energy and space
usage was taken into consideration when modeling the portable units and has been included within this
report.

VI. Historic Energy Consumption and Cost
Tables provided in Appendix A, Energy Benchmark Data Report, represent the electric and natural gas
energy usage for the surveyed facility from January 2009 to December 2010. Chugach Electric provides
the electricity and Enstar provides the natural gas to the building. Both utility companies bill the facility
using a commercial rate schedule. The actual utility bills were not provided to be able to verify the data
received to assure 100 percent accuracy of the data.
The AkWarm model of the facility was built to match the facility’s average annual electric and heating oil
consumption, so that a realistic model could be created. The monthly energy consumption of the AkWarm
model matches the actual average monthly consumption of the facility within 25%, which is adequate for
this level of modeling. Overall, the energy consumption trends of the AkWarm model and the actual
facility match appropriately. Graphical representations of the monthly energy consumption are included
in Appendix A.
VI.I Electrical Consumption Data
The electric utility costs consist of several components: a fixed monthly customer charge, an energy usage
charge, fuel surcharge, taxes, and a demand charge. The energy usage and fuel surcharge are based on the
customer's usage as measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The usage (kWh) is determined by load wattage
divided by 1,000, times hours running. For example, a 1,000 watt space heater operating for one hour will
use 1 kWh of electricity as would ten, 100 watt lamps operating for one hour or one, 100W lamp
operating for 10 hours. One kWh is equivalent to 3,413 BTU. Utility data used in this report reflects the
historical data provided for the building in a summarized format.
VI.II Natural Gas Consumption Data
The natural gas supplier bills for consumption in units of 100 cubic feet (CCF) of natural gas. Natural gas
is delivered as needed through a utility service connection. The average heating value of natural gas is
100,000 BTUs per CCF, which is equal to 1 Therm of energy.
VI.III Overall Energy Consumption Data
The overall cost for energy use is calculated by dividing the total cost by the total usage. Based on the
electric and natural gas utility data provided, the average cost for the energy and consumption calculations
at the surveyed facility are summarized in the table below.
Table 3 – Energy Cost and Consumption Data
Energy Cost and Consumption Data
2009 2010 Average
Electric 0.13 $/kWh 0.16 $/kWh 0.15 $/kWh
Natural Gas 1.06 $/CCF 0.89 $/CCF 0.97 $/CCF
Total Cost $19,606 $23,345 $21,476
ECI 2.51 $/sf 2.99 $/sf 2.75 $/sf
Electric EUI 57.7 kBtu/sf 56.1 kBtu/sf 56.9 kBtu/sf
Natural Gas EUI 31.3 kBtu/sf 35.7 kBtu/sf 33.5 kBtu/sf
Building EUI 89.0 kBtu/sf 91.9 kBtu/sf 90.4 kBtu/sf
The Energy Cost Index (ECI) is derived by dividing the annual cost by the building square footage. The
building square footage was calculated to be approximately 7,820 square feet. This area includes the
3,061 sf main building in addition to the 4,759 sf of portables attached to the building electrical service.

Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/11/2012 10 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-04
The annual EUI is expressed in Thousands of British Thermal Units per Square Foot (kBtu/sf) and can be
used to compare energy consumption of similar building types or to track consumption from year to year
in the same building. The EUI is calculated by converting annual consumption of all fuels used to Btu’s
and then dividing by the area (gross conditioned square footage) of the building. EUI is a good indicator
of the relative potential for energy savings. A comparatively low EUI indicates less potential for large
energy savings. Building architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings were obtained and utilized to
calculate and verify the gross area of the facility. The gross area was confirmed on the physical site
investigation.

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.

more efficient than previous models. Replacing existing refrigerators, which are older than 5 years old,
with new energy star models will typically have paybacks of less than 10 years.
ECM #OB-1 – Setback Thermostat
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$411 $500 10.61 1.2
Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the main building during
unoccupied times. Reducing the temperature to 60F during unoccupied times will save approximately
$5417 annually, with an estimated installed cost of $500. The SIR for the setback thermostat ECM is
10.75 with a 1.2 year simple payback.
ECM #OB-2 – New Condensing High-Efficiency Boiler
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$967 $6,000 7.43 6.2
The existing boiler is approaching the end of its service life and requires regular maintenance in order to
continue operation. Replacing the boiler with an appropriately sized condensing high-efficiency boiler
will yield significant energy savings, especially during shoulder seasons; however, replacing a
functioning boiler is a significant cost hurdle and does not provide economic financial payback. The
repair cost is the cost difference between a condensing high-efficiency boiler and a natural-draft cast iron
boiler, and heating systems changes that would be required if upgrading to a condensing boiler. This cost
can be considered when the existing boiler requires replacement. This cost difference is approximately
$6,000, and a condensing boiler would save approximately $967 per year. The SIR is approximately 7.4
and the payback is 6.2 years. A Weil-McLain Ultra-series boiler was used as the basis for this ECM. See
item 2 in Appendix D.
ECM #OB-3 – Upgrade Kitchen Lighting and Control
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$191 $550 5.08 2.9
The existing light fixtures in the kitchen are 2 foot by 2 foot, 2 lamp U-tube T-12 fluorescent light fixtures
with magnetic ballasts. The existing fixtures do not appear to have a local control switch and are
continuously illuminated.
Anchorage School District Operations Building Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/11/2012 13 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-04
By replacing the existing light fixtures with 2 foot by 4 foot, 2 lamp T-8, recessed, fluorescent light
fixtures with program start electronic ballasts and occupancy sensor control, approximately $190 will be
saved annually, with an initial cost of $550. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 5.08
and the simple payback is approximately 2.9 years.
ECM #OB-4 – Upgrade Vestibule Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$180 $300 3.70 1.7
The existing light fixtures in the front entryway and vestibule are recessed down lights with 100W screw
base incandescent lamps. By replacing the existing lamps with compact fluorescent lamps or par LED's,
approximately $180 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of $300. The savings-to-investment ratio
(SIR) is approximately 3.70 and the simple payback is approximately 1.7 years.
ECM #OB-5 – Upgrade Restroom Lighting and Control
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$122 $950 1.74 7.8
The toilet areas in both restrooms are each illuminated by a recessed down light with (1) 100W screw
base incandescent light fixture, while the sink areas are each illuminated by a two-lamp T12 vanity light
fixture. Wall mounted rocker switched are used to control all of the restroom lighting. By replacing the
existing incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps or par LED's, replacing the T12 light fixtures
with two-lamp T8 fixtures, and installing four new occupancy sensors, approximately $120 will be saved
annually, with an initial cost of $950. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 1.74 and the
simple payback is approximately 7.8 years.
ECM #OB-6 – Upgrade Office Lighting and Control
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$693 $7,050 1.22 10.2
The communal office areas are illuminated by (12) four-lamp 2 foot by 4 foot recessed T12 troffers, (6)
two-lamp 4 foot wrap type fluorescent T12 fixtures, and (3) two-lamp 2 foot by 2 foot troffers with T12
U-lamps. The private offices are illuminated by (16) four-lamp, 2 foot by 4 foot, recessed, T12 troffers,
and (1) two-lamp, 2 foot by 4 foot, recessed, T12 troffer. Each of the (6) offices is provided with its own
wall mounted rocker switch for lighting control. It is recommended that each of the existing troffer light
fixtures are retrofitted by replacing the lamps, ballasts and lamp holders to use T8 lamps and electronic
program start ballasts. Additional lighting upgrades include replacing the wrap type fixtures one-for-one
with T8 wrap fixtures, and installing (6) ceiling mounted occupancy sensors in the private offices. By
completing the above recommendation approximately $693 will be saved annually, with an initial cost of
$7,050. The savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 1.22 and the simple payback is
approximately 10.2 years.
ECM #OB-7– Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 20%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$82 $1,000 0.73 12.2
Reducing infiltration by air sealing the building envelope will produce energy savings. While a blower
door test was not completed, it is anticipated that air leakage is occurring around old weather stripping
around doors, window frames, and wall and roof penetrations. Methods to decrease the infiltration into

Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/11/2012 14 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-04
the building include: sealing around the windows and doors with caulking and insulation, adding new
weather stripping to doors, providing gaskets to all exterior cover plates and sealing all roof and wall
penetrations. Reducing infiltration by 20% with air sealing improvements will save approximately $82
per year and will have an initial cost of approximately $1,000. Even though this measure does not have a
positive SIR, it is recommended by the audit team due to the value added to the facility. The savings-to-
investment ratio (SIR) is approximately 0.73 with a payback of 12.2 years.
Note regarding Ventilation Systems:
Further analysis of the Operations Building showed that the air handling unit and ventilation system has
been out of service and unmaintained for the duration of the energy consumption metering provided for
analysis. Any replacement of the existing AHU and ventilation system will increase energy usage
compared to energy consumption data, since the existing system has not been consuming any energy.
Since this system requires replacement in order to meet ventilation code requirements, it is possible to
estimate how much energy it will consume using calculations based on minimum code requirements.
A model of the building was created using calculations that the existing AHU and ventilation system was
replaced with an AHU and ventilation system that meets minimum code requirements and is provided
with standard efficient motors. This baseline was estimated to cost approximately $139,400 using a
renovation calculation from the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development; however the
audit team assumed that this cost does not come from ECM funds since the building requires a new AHU
and ventilation system in order to meet code requirements. From this modeled baseline, an ECM was
calculated based around using a system with premium efficient motors and using demand ventilation
control (DVC) to modulate outside air intake based on contaminants such as CO2 in the return air, which
is an energy-saving operational profile compared to standard system. A cost opinion representing this
energy-saving system was generated using data provided by local DDC and AHU contractors. Such an
advanced system would cost approximately $4,600 in addition to the funds required to replace the AHU
and ventilation system.
Using the $4,600 as a “repair cost,” which is the difference between a standard replacement and a more
advanced replacement, the resulting SIR is 0.68, annual energy savings compared to the standard system
are approximately $260, and the payback is approximately 17.5 years. It is important to note that due to
the small size and low occupancy of the building, savings potential from demand ventilation control is
minimal. There are also additional benefits to DVC. In conjunction with a DDC system, it is possible to
log the amount of outside air provided to the facility at all times. At larger facilities with higher
occupancies, savings potential is much greater and DVC is usually a viable ECM.
VIII.II Portable Building Energy Conservation Measures
There are three portable buildings that exist on-site. A typical AkWarm model was created to model the
typical portable, due to similarities in construction type and heating systems. The following ECM
savings and installed costs are for one portable building. Multiply the results by three to obtain
savings and costs for all three portables combined.
ECM #PB-1 – Setback Thermostat
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,010 $2,000 5.93 2
Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the portable buildings during
unoccupied times. Reducing the temperature to 60F during unoccupied times will save approximately
$1,010 annually per portable building, with an estimated installed cost of $2,000. The SIR for the setback
thermostat ECM is 5.93 with a 2 year simple payback.

ECM #PB-2 – Replace Exterior Doors
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$109 $820 2.54 7.6
The portable buildings each have two poorly insulated (R-1.7) metal doors. It is recommended that both
doors be removed and replaced with a new R-6.25 minimum (U-0.16) insulated door. This ECM will save
approximately $109 per year per portable with a payback of 7.6 years and an SIR of 2.54. Installed cost is
for replacing both doors is approximately $820.
ECM #PB-3 – Add Roof Insulation
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$203 $2,520 1.55 12.4
Adding additional R-19 fiberglass batt insulation to the roof of the portables to make an R-38 roof may be
feasible during the next scheduled roof replacement. Installing an additional R-19 of insulation will save
approximately $203 per year per portable, with an installed cost of $2,520 if completed in combination
with the roof replacement. This ECM will give a SIR of 1.55 and a simple payback of 12.4 years.
ECM #PB-4– Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 20%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$79 $650 1.02 8.2
Reducing infiltration by air sealing the building envelope will produce energy savings. While a blower
door test was not completed, it is anticipated that air leakage is occurring around old weather stripping
around doors, window frames, and wall and roof penetrations. Methods to decrease the infiltration into
the building include: sealing around the windows and doors with caulking and insulation, adding new
weather stripping to doors, providing gaskets to all exterior cover plates and sealing all roof and wall
penetrations. Reducing infiltration by 20% with air sealing improvements will save approximately $79
per year per portable and will have an installation cost of approximately $650. The ECM has an SIR of
1.02 with a payback of 8.2 years.

VIII.III 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.
