Privacy
The information contained within this report, including any attachment(s), was produced under contract to Alaska
Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC). IGAs are the property of the State of Alaska, and may be incorporated into
AkWarmC , the Alaska Retrofit Information System (ARIS), or other state and/or public information systems.
AkWarmC 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.

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 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 February 13, 2012. 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 Halpin of the ASD Facilities 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
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 the
kitchen, offices, multipurpose room, and classrooms. 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.

from 3:30pm until 12am. The Anchorage School District offers a library program from 9am to 1pm from
May through the end of June. The school is unoccupied for the month of July. The multipurpose room, art
room, library, and outdoor ball fields are utilized by the community through the ASD rental program
throughout the year with some events lasting until 10pm once per week.
V.I School Architectural Description
Details of the wall, floor, and roof construction were examined on the architectural drawings and
confirmed during the site survey. There are three different wall types throughout the school. The exterior
walls of the classroom wings are constructed of 2”x6” studs with 16” centers, R(13 insulation infill, 5/8”
plywood sheathing, and aluminum(clad plywood panel siding for an estimated overall R(value of R(15.5.
The classroom walls are approximately 12’ high. The exterior walls of the multipurpose room are
constructed of 2”x8” studs on 16” centers, R(19 insulation infill, 5/8” plywood sheathing, and aluminum(
clad plywood panel siding for an estimated overall R(value of R(19.4. These walls are approximately 18’
high. Exterior walls surrounding the school’s mechanical boiler room are approximately 11’ high and are
constructed of 8” poured concrete with aluminum(clad plywood panel siding that provide an estimated R(
value of R(2.7. The school was constructed with a 3’ wide by 4’ deep, below(grade utilidor which extends
along the perimeter of the original construction. The construction drawings indicate that the utilidor walls
are comprised of 8” poured concrete with 2” rigid insulation on the interior face extending the full length
of the wall. However, a significant amount of heat loss was observed from the utilidor wall, and the
energy audit team does not believe the as(built condition matches the architectural drawings. Due to
confined space restriction, the utilidor was not entered or examined. The estimated insulation value of the
utilidor wall was modeled at R(5.8. There is approximately 12,473 sf of above(grade wall area and 4,684
sf of below(grade wall area.
The school has slab(on(grade floors with 2” extruded rigid insulation that appears below the slab edge and
extends at least 3’ below grade, providing an estimated R(value of R(8.3 There is approximately 39,951 sf
of slab on grade floors and a total of 40,835 sf usable area. The usable area is greater than the slab(on(
grade floors due to a fan room located in a mechanical mezzanine.
Roof construction for the school is a built up flat roof containing 5/8” exterior plywood attached to the
roof trusses, 1” extruded rigid insulation, a single ply membrane roofing, 2” rigid insulation under 3”
rigid insulation topped with pavers. The approximate R(value for the roof construction is R(26. There is
approximately 39,951 sf of roof area.
Most of the school’s windows were replaced in a 2005 renovation project. The new windows consist of
double pane, clear glass with a 1/2" air space between the panes and aluminum clad wood frames. An
estimated insulating value of R(1.8 was given to these windows. Windows along the library and
administrative office addition were installed in 1972 and were not replaced in the 2005 project. These
windows consist of double pane, clear glass with a 1/2" air space between the panes and aluminum
frames. An estimated insulating value of R(1.2 was given to these windows. The windows surrounding
the entryway doors were installed during original construction and consist of 1/4” plate glass with
aluminum frames providing an R(value of R(0.8. There is approximately 4,000 sf of total window area.
The school has 21 insulated half(lite metal doors providing an estimated R(value of R(2.2. There are 10
insulated, hollow metal, utility doors which provide an R(value of R(2.5. Entryway doors along the east
and west face of the school building consist of 1/4” plate glass with aluminum frames and were included
as a window in the AkWarm model with an R(value of R(1.2. There is approximately 651 sf of door area.

V.II Mechanical Description
The school is heated with two Weil(McLain 988 series, gas fired, cast iron sectional boilers with an input
rating of 2,713 million BTUs per hour (MBH). The boilers were installed in 1992 and are each equipped
with a Gordon Piatt R8.4(G(20 burner. The building is heated using a primary(secondary system. The
heating medium in the primary loop, through the boilers, is water, which then heats the secondary glycol
loop using a plate(and(frame heat exchanger. Space heating, which uses the secondary glycol loop, is
accomplished through a combination of cabinet unit heaters, radiant floor heating, perimeter fin(tube, and
unit ventilators. Tempered air for the multipurpose room, kitchen, library, and main office area is
provided by heating coils located in each fan room. Ventilation and heating for the classroom spaces is
provided by unit ventilators located in each classroom. No mechanical cooling is provided for any
systems in the facility.
There are three air handling units (AHUs) serving Airport Heights Elementary School. All air handling
units are appropriately sized for their different applications. Since there are several eras of projects at
AHES, equipment is identified by its tag and its estimated installation year. AHU(2 (1991) is a constant
volume unit equipped with a 1 horsepower (HP) fan motor and provides the boiler room with 2,550 cubic
feet per minute (CFM) of air. AHU(11 (2004) is a constant volume unit comprised of a 5 HP supply fan
motor and provides the office and library areas with 5,330 CFM. It operates in a supply(relief fan
combination system with exhaust fan EF(11, which is equipped with a 1 HP fan motor. AHU(21 (2004) is
a constant volume unit comprised of a 10 HP supply fan motor and provides the multipurpose room and
kitchen areas with 10,050 CFM of air. It operates in a supply(relief fan combination system with exhaust
fan EF(21, which is equipped with a 7.5 HP fan motor. EF(22 is a constant volume exhaust fan equipped
with a 1/3 HP fan motor that is interlocked with AHU(21. It serves the kitchen hood by exhausting 1,750
CFM of air. See Appendix C, Major Equipment List, for a detailed list of major ventilation equipment.
A gas(fired water heater, a Rheem R156(40, with a 38 gal storage tank and an input rating of 156MBH
provides domestic hot water to the school. The domestic water line has hot water recirculation which uses
a Grundfos UPS(15(55(SFC in(line circulation pump.
The school’s building energy management and control system is controlled using a Direct Digital Control
system, however, some pneumatic actuators still remain in use. These actuators are operated by an air
compressor using a 5 HP motor. The system appeared to be in fair working order but was observed to be
cycling on and off frequently. Pneumatic systems are considered archaic due to the vast improvements in
monitoring, control and operating efficiencies available from the modern genre of electronic control
systems. The energy management and control system controls the boilers, heating water pumps, and air
handling units.
V.III Electrical Description
The school is served by an 800 amp (A), 120/208 volt (V), three phase, 4(wire, underground electrical
service connected to a pad mounted utility transformer. Power is distributed through the school to several
distribution panels that serve local electrical loads.
Most fluorescent light fixtures in the school utilize T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, however there were a
few T12 light fixtures present with magnetic ballasts throughout the school. 8' T12 light fixtures were
observed in the school’s campfire room. The lighting levels throughout the school were observed to be
adequate and within the suggested lighting levels from the Illumination Engineering Society of North
America (IESNA). Occupancy sensors were observed in a few of the offices while all of the fixtures in
the library and classrooms are controlled by wall switches.

The lighting in the corridors is provided by 4' T8 and T12 light fixtures. These fixtures are turned off
nightly by switching off the circuit breaker. Approximately 50% of the light fixtures in the school’s
corridors are used as nightlights and are never switched off.
Incandescent light fixtures were observed in two locations in the school. One fixture was located in a the
kitchen restroom and one other fixture was located in a storage room.
The multipurpose room (MPR) is illuminated with approximately (16) 400 watt (W) high bay metal
halide (MH) light fixtures. Long strike times are inherent with MH light fixtures and, due to this feature,
the lights are typically left switched on during extended periods of time while the space is unoccupied.
The MPR is one area of the school where the lighting levels may be reduced without affecting the
performance of the room.
Exterior lighting consists of 150W high pressure sodium (HPS) canopy lights, 100W and 150W HPS wall
pack lights and 400W HPS pole mounted parking lot lights. All of the exterior lights are controlled by an
on(off photo sensor that switches the light fixtures off during the day. The parking lot lights are also
controlled by an input from the security system to shut them off while the building security system is
armed.
Other electricity(using equipment not previously described in the mechanical or electrical sections include
a microwave, electric ranges, other various kitchen equipment, and various user equipment such as
projectors, computers, and printers.
V.IV Portable Buildings Description
There are three portable buildings located on the Airport Heights Elementary School campus. They are
utilized as classroom space from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on weekdays during the school year. One portable is
occupied until 4:30 p.m. one day per week for afterschool activities. Two of the portables were
constructed in 1992 and one was constructed in 1965. The portables use electricity for heating, lighting
and other plug loads. Due to the fact that the three portables have similar building envelope construction
and heating equipment, only one AkWarm model was created to model the average characteristics of all
three portables. The results and recommended ECMs generated by this single portable AkWarm model
should be applied to all of the three portable buildings.
Each portable has 2”x4” wood stud walls on 16” centers with R(11 fiberglass batt insulation for a
combined R(value of R(10.6. The exterior face of the wall is T1(11 siding with drywall on the interior.
Interior and exterior wall height is 9’ under the roof eaves, and the end walls vary in height from 9’ at the
eaves to 11’ at the roof peak in the center of the end wall. One portable typically has 1,170 sf of exterior
wall area.
The portables have above(grade floors resting on sleepers. Plywood skirting protects the sleepers and
floor construction from the weather. The floor construction is plywood flooring resting on 2”x8” wood
joists. It is estimated that the floor has R(19 fiberglass batt insulation. One portable typically has 960 sf of
floor area.
The portables are all covered by sloped cold roofs, with shingles covering plywood decking. It is
estimated that the roof insulation is R(19 fiberglass batt insulation. One portable typically has
approximately 990 sf of roof area. This is greater than the floor area due to the sloped roof.
There are two double pane, wood framed windows in each portable with an estimated R(value of R(1.8.
There are two insulated metal doors with an R(value of R(2.5 for each door. One portable typically has 42
sf of window area and 18 sf of door area.

Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 12 AkWarm No. CIRI(ANC(CAEC(11
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.
The relatively high number of baseboards with individual thermostats results in baseboards that are
frequently left on at higher settings than required for adequate space heating in each portable. Due to the
need to keep these buildings moveable and due to combustion safety issues, the Anchorage School
District states its desire to keep all portable buildings on electric heat and not utilize natural gas heating at
this time.
A 120/208V single phase overhead feeder is supplied to each of the portable buildings from the school
building. Each portable building is provided with a small distribution panel where the feeder terminates.
The distribution panel distributes power to the portable's lighting, heating, and receptacles. The lighting in
the portables is provided by (34) two(lamp, and (24) four(lamp, 4’ long, T12 light fixtures with magnetic
ballasts. The 4’ fluorescent fixtures are controlled by wall switches. Exterior lighting at each portable is
provided by a 70W HPS wall pack located adjacent to the main entrance door.

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 CCF of natural gas, where one CCF equals 100 cubic
feet of natural gas. The average heating value of natural gas is 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot, making 1 CCF
equal to 100,000 BTUs or 1 Therm.
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 4 6 Energy Cost and Consumption Data
Energy Cost and Consumption Data
2009 2010 Average
Electric 0.12 $/kWh 0.11 $/kWh 0.12 $/kWh
Natural Gas 1.01 $/CCF 0.89 $/CCF 0.95 $/CCF
Total Cost $85,298 $81,655 $83,477
ECI 1.87 $/sf 1.79 $/sf 1.83 $/sf
Electric EUI 33.6 kBtu/sf 34.2 kBtu/sf 33.9 kBtu/sf
Natural Gas EUI 71.5 kBtu/sf 71.5 kBtu/sf 71.5 kBtu/sf
Building EUI 105.1 kBtu/sf 105.7 kBtu/sf 105.4 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 45,635 sf.
Airport Heights Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 14 AkWarm No. CIRI(ANC(CAEC(11
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 are included in Appendix F.
CEI made miscellaneous thermographic images of the building using a FLIR T300 Infrared Camera. This
is not a thermographic study, but rather just a few snapshots to illustrate easy(to(identify heat losses.
These thermographic photos are included in Appendix G.

VIII. Energy Conservation Measures
The following ECMs described here have been calculated by AkWarm Commercial and considered by the
energy audit team as viable projects. ECMs provided below are considered to have viable financial ratios
(SIR>1) or to add value to the building or building operational profiles. For a full list of ECMs considered
and calculated by the energy audit team, including ECMs not recommended at this time, please see
Appendix D.
VIII.I School Energy Conservation Measures
ECM# AHES61 – Replace residential & light commercial refrigerators/freezers older than 5 years
old
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
( ( ( <10 years
Due to advances in refrigerators in the previous five years, new Energy Star residential(type and light
commercial(type refrigerators and freezers are much more efficient and result in viable energy savings.
Built(in refrigerators and freezers should be evaluated independently. Replacing existing refrigerators that
are five years old or greater will typically have paybacks of less than 10 years.
ECM # AHES62– Setback Thermostat in Office and MPR areas
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$379 $800 6.12 2.1
Currently, there is a night set back schedule that lowers building temperatures to 65F during unoccupied
mode. However, even greater energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the office and
MPR areas further to 60F during unoccupied times. Lowering the heat load of the building will reduce
natural gas consumption. Since the school’s thermostats are already connected to the DDC system, the
cost of this ECM only includes the time required to program a night setback. The 60F night set back is
feasible; however it may require that the other DDC set points be changed, such as the low(temp alarm.
This ECM is a compilation of items 4 and 5 in Appendix D, which are intended to be implemented
concurrently. Details of the individual items are shown in Appendix D.
ECM # AHES63 6 Upgrade the Corridor Lighting and Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$2,570 $6,050 6.21 2.35
There are approximately (16) single(lamp, (6) two(lamp, and (1) four(lamp fluorescent T12 light fixtures,
and (75) two(lamp fluorescent T8 light fixtures used for lighting in the corridors. These light fixtures are
controlled by switching their branch circuit breakers on and off. The as(built electrical wiring is
configured to utilize 50% of the fixtures for night lights. It is recommended that all of the T12 light
fixtures be replaced by T8 fixtures with an equal number of lamps. Additional savings can be realized by
providing several occupancy sensors throughout the corridors to switch all of the light fixtures off while
the space is unoccupied. See items 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 22, and 24 in Appendix D for further details.

ECM # AHES646 Upgrade the Library Lighting Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$226 $1,200 2.75 5.31
There are approximately (31) 4' suspended three(lamp direct/indirect light fixtures that are used to light
the library. These fixtures were observed to be switched in six separate zones by a multi(gang light switch
bank located in the adjacent main office. It is recommended that approximately six new ceiling mounted
occupancy sensors be installed to switch the libraries light fixtures off when the space is unoccupied. See
item 11 in Appendix D for further details.
ECM # AHES65 – Install Rigid Insulation to the Un6insulated Roof Area above the Office Corridor
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$20 $200 2.35 10.0
During the 2004 HVAC upgrade project, the existing office area air handler, AHU(11, was removed from
the roof over the office corridor. The footprint area of the AHU did not appear to be insulated after
removal. Currently, there is a 7’x3’ section of un(insulated roof area which allows a significant amount of
heat loss to communicate through the roof. Figure 6, below, shows the area, void of snow, from the roof
top.

Figure 7, below, shows the area from inside the building.
Fig. 7 – Un6insulated Roof Area over Office Corridor
Significant energy savings can be achieved by installing a minimum of R(10 rigid insulation to the
interior side of the roof in this area. The installed cost includes labor and materials. See item 2 in ppendix
D for further details.
ECM # AHES66 – Install Rigid Insulation to the Foundation Wall
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,417 $15,000 2.19 10.58
Significant heat loss was observed through the foundation wall along the perimeter of the school. A
poorly insulated utilidor runs along the perimeter of the school utilizing the foundation wall. The utilidor
walls are 4’ deep with 1.5’ of above(grade wall. This ECM recommends installing 2x8 sheets of R(10
rigid insulation to the exterior of the utilidor, including an exterior surface and flashing. The installed cost
incorporates materials and an excavation and installation labor estimate. See item 12 in Appendix D for
more information.
ECM # AHES67 6 Upgrade the Classroom Lighting and Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,027 $7,450 1.94 7.25
With the exception of room 42 all of the classrooms are illuminated with T8 fixtures with bi(level
switching and electronic ballasts and are controlled by wall mounted rocker switches. Room 42 is
illuminated with (8) 8' two(lamp T12 high output light fixtures that are controlled by a wall switch. Since
the lighting levels in this area exceed the recommendations by the IESNA the lighting may be reduced in
this space with no loss of performance. It is suggested that the T12 light fixtures be replaced one(for(one
by four(lamp 4' T8 fluorescent light fixtures. Additionally each classroom should be provided a ceiling
mounted occupancy sensor to control the light fixtures. See items 9, 18, 33, and 36 in Appendix D for
further details.

ECM # AHES68 6 Upgrade the Lighting in the Multipurpose Room
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,338 $12,000 1.69 8.65
The existing lighting in the MPR consists of (16) 400W high bay MH light fixtures. The lighting level in
the room was measured at 70 foot candles which is above the IESNA's suggested lighting levels for this
type of space. Therefore, the lighting may be reduced without any loss in performance in the use of the
space. This ECM consists of the replacement of the existing MH fixtures one(for(one with four(lamp
T5HO light fixtures, and to provide four wall mounted occupancy sensors with wire(guards. Though it
was not modeled, additional savings can be realized by implementing bi(level switching with this
upgrade. See item 14 in Appendix D for more information.
ECM # AHES69 6 Upgrade the Lighting Controls in the Offices and Staff Rooms
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$129 $1,200 1.57 9.30
All of the lighting in the offices and staff rooms is provided by 4' fluorescent T8 light fixtures. The
lighting in five of these spaces is controlled by occupancy sensors, while the lighting in the remaining
eight rooms is controlled by wall mounted rocker switches. This ECM consists of providing
approximately eight new ceiling mounted occupancy sensors so that all of the offices and staff rooms are
controlled by occupancy sensors. See items 7, 21, and 26 in Appendix D for more information.
ECM # AHES610 6 Upgrade the Exterior Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$927 $9,000 1.5 9.71
The exterior lighting at the site consists of (6) 100W HPS wall packs, (8) 150W HPS canopy lights, (2)
150W HPS wall packs, and (20) 400W HPS pole mounted "shoebox" area lighters. All of the exterior
lighting is controlled by photocell that switches the lights on while it is dark. Additionally, the parking lot
lights are controlled by an input from the DDC system that shuts them off while the security system is
alarmed. The building mounted light fixtures remain on all night. This ECM would replace the 100W and
150W building mounted light fixtures one(for(one with 50W and 72W LED light fixtures, respectively.
This assumes the re(use of existing wiring.
Upgrading the parking lot HPS light fixtures was evaluated. However, due to the fact that these lights
have a night shut off, replacing them with LED fixtures did not prove to be cost effective.
This description compiles measures 15, 16, and 19 which were individually modeled in AkWarm. See
Appendix D for details of individual measures.
ECM # AHES611 6 Upgrade the Data Room Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$14 $150 1.5 10.71
The data room (room 115) adjacent to the main office is illuminated by two 23W Compact Fluorescent
Lamps (CFL) that switch with the same circuit as the adjacent staff room. It is recommended that a
ceiling mounted occupancy sensor be installed in the data room to switch these lights off while the space
is not occupied. See item 17 in Appendix D for more information.

ECM # AHES612 – Perform Air Sealing to Reduce Air Leakage by 20%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,267 $9,000 1.25 7.1
By tightening the building envelope with air sealing improvements, infiltration into the building will be
reduced. This in turn will reduce the heating load required by the building and reduce the amount of
natural gas being burned by the boilers. While a blower door test was not completed, it is anticipated that
air leakage is occurring though 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. To achieve a viable economic benefit, up
to $9,000 can be invested and still achieve an SIR ≥ 1by reducing air leakage by 20%. See item 20 in
Appendix D for more information.
ECM # AHES613– Setback Thermostat in the Classrooms
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$3,966 $40,000 1.28 10.1
Each classroom has a unit ventilator with an individual pneumatic thermostat. The unit ventilator provides
tempered outdoor air using hydronic heat supplied by the heating system. The current thermostat control
system does not allow for an automatic night setback during unoccupied times. Significant energy savings
exist by reducing the room temperature of each classroom to 60F during unoccupied times. Lowering the
heat load of the building will reduce natural gas consumption. The cost of this ECM includes replacing 20
existing thermostats with new programmable thermostats each with an associated electronic to pneumatic
transducer in each classroom at a cost of $2,000 per thermostat. Each thermostat will be individually
programmed for an unoccupied setback. See item 21 in Appendix D for more information.
ECM # AHES614 6 Upgrade the Restroom Lighting and Control
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$112 $1,500 1.08 13.39
The lighting in the student restrooms is provided by (20) two lamp 4' T8 fluorescent light fixtures, (5) in
each of the four spaces. These light fixtures are controlled by keyed wall switches. The two staff
restrooms located near the main office are each illuminated by a single 3' two(lamp T12 fluorescent
vanity light. It is recommended that the T12 light fixtures are replaced one(for(one with 4' single(lamp T8
fixtures and that wall mounted occupancy sensors are installed in the staff restrooms. One ceiling
mounted occupancy sensor should be installed in each of the student restrooms. See items 13 and 34 in
Appendix D for more information.

VIII.II Portable Building ECMs
There are three portable buildings that exist on(site and are connected to the electrical service of Airport
Heights Elementary School. 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 #PB61 – Add Insulation to Portable Skirting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,004 $1,650 11.69 1.6
The portable has un(insulated plywood skirting which protects the above grade floor from the weather.
The skirting is estimated to have an R(value of R(3.0. Installing R(15 rigid insulation to the interior side
of the portable skirting will reduce heat loss and reduce electricity consumption. See item 1 in Appendix
E for more information.
ECM #PB62 – Add Insulation to the Attic
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$248 $2,070 2.30 8.3
The existing cold roof on the portable has an estimated insulating value of R(21. Improving the insulating
value will reduce the energy required to maintain setpoint temperatures within the portable. Adding R(33
blown cellulose insulation to the attic space will provide an energy savings of approximately $248 per
year. See item 2 in Appendix E.
ECM #PB63 – Setback Thermostat
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$327 $2,000 1.92 6.1
Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the portable building during
unoccupied times. However, due to the fact that the portable building has perimeter electric baseboard
heaters, each with individual dial thermostats, it is difficult to obtain a desired set point in the portable
building. As a result, the temperature in the portable is typically much higher than required. Also, the
temperature cannot be set back during unoccupied times. It is recommended that a central programmable
thermostat be installed in the portable building that can turn the perimeter electric baseboards on or off to
control occupied and unoccupied temperature set points. Reducing the portable temperature from 65 deg
F to 60 deg F during unoccupied times will save $327 annually in electricity bills. See item 3 in Appendix
E for more information.
ECM #PB64 – Upgrade Portable Building Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$344 $3,550 1.42 10.32
Between the three portables, the interior lighting in the portables is currently provided by (34) two(lamp,
and (24) four(lamp fluorescent T12 light fixtures with magnetic ballasts. The T12 fixtures should be
replaced one(for(one with two(lamp T8 fluorescent light fixtures with electronic program start ballasts.
The HPS wall packs should also be replaced one(for(one with a 35W LED fixture. It is also recommended
that each of the three portables be provided with a new ceiling mounted occupancy sensor to switch the

lights off when the space is unoccupied. The values presented above for the annual energy savings and
installed cost are the calculated average cost for the ECM and represent the projected savings and
installed cost for one portable.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 4, 5, and 8 in Appendix E for details of individual
measures.
ECM #PB65 – Replace Exterior Doors
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$54 $820 1.27 15.2
Each portable building has two poorly insulated (R(1.7) metal doors. It is recommended that both doors
be removed and replaced with new R(6.25 minimum (U(0.16) insulated doors. The new doors should
have proper weather stripping on them to reduce air infiltration. See item 6 in Appendix E for more
information.
ECM #PB66– Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 30%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$111 $850 1.10 7.7
By tightening the portable building envelope with air sealing improvements, infiltration into the portable
will be reduced. This in turn will reduce the heating load and reduce the amount of electricity being used
by the electric heaters. 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 portable include: sealing around the windows and doors with
caulking and insulation, adding new weather stripping to doors, and sealing any roof and wall
penetrations. To achieve a viable economic benefit, up to $850 can be invested and still achieve an SIR ≥
1by reducing air leakage by 30%. See item 7 in Appendix E for more information.

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.
