REPORT DISCLAIMERS
This audit was performed using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
funds, managed by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC).
This energy audit is intended to identify and recommend potential areas of energy
savings, estimate the value of the savings and approximate the costs to implement the
recommendations. 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 recommendations should all be first analyzed through a thorough
lighting analysis to assure that the recommended lighting upgrades will comply with
State of Alaska Statute as well as Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)
recommendations. Energy Audits of Alaska, LLC and Central Alaska Engineering
Company bear no responsibility for work performed as a result of this report.
Payback periods may vary from those forecasted due to the uncertainty of the final
installed design, configuration, equipment selected, and installation costs of
recommended Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs), or the operating schedules and
maintenance provided by the owner. Furthermore, EEMs are typically interactive, so
implementation of one EEM may impact the cost savings from another EEM. Neither
the auditor, Central Alaska Engineering Company, AHFC, or any other party involved in
preparation of this report accepts liability for financial loss due to EEMs that fail to meet
the forecasted payback periods.
This audit meets the criteria of an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) per the Association of
Energy Engineers definition, and is valid for one year. The life of the IGA may be
extended on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the AHFC.
IGA’s are the property of the State, and may be incorporated into AkWarm-C, the
Alaska Energy Data Inventory (ARIS), or other state and/or public information system.
AkWarm-C is a building energy modeling software developed under contract by AHFC.
This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy under Award
Number DE-EE0000095. This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored
by an agency of the United States Government. Neither the United States Government
nor any agency thereof, nor any of their employees, makes any warranty, express or

Guidance to the reader:
The Executive Summary is designed to contain all the information the building
owner/operator should need to determine how the subject building’s energy
efficiency compares with other similar use buildings, which energy
improvements should be implemented, approximately how much they will cost
and their estimated annual savings. Sections 2 through 7 of this report and the
Appendices, are back-up and provide much more detailed information should
the owner/operator, or their staff, desire to investigate further.
This audit was performed using American Recovery and Reinvestment act
(ARRA) funds to promote the use of innovation and technology to solve energy
and environmental problems in a way that improves the State’s economy. The
audit and this report are pre-requisites to access AHFC’s Retrofit Energy
Assessment Loans (REAL) program, which is available to the building’s owner.
The purpose of the energy audit is to identify cost-effective system and facility
modifications, adjustments, alterations, additions and retrofits. Systems
investigated during the audit included heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC), interior and exterior lighting, motors, building envelope, and energy
management control systems (EMCS).

The site visit to subject building occurred on December 5th, 2011.
This building houses two hockey rinks, changing and locker rooms, mechanical
rooms and an office. The west rink was constructed in 1983, the east rink in
1998. Other than a dehumidification replacement in the west rink in 2004, there
have been no significant upgrades or renovations of the building.
The interior and exterior of this building are in good condition.
Energy Consumption and Benchmark Data
This building uses natural gas provided by Enstar Natural Gas Co., and
electricity provided by Municipal Light and Power (MLP). Benchmark utility data
and billing history for 2009 and 2010 obtained by the auditor, is summarized in
Tables 1 and 2 below and presented in detail, by month, in Appendix G.
Table 1
2009 2010
Consumption Cost Consumption Cost
Electricity ‐ kWh 2,008,200 $ 197,731 1,831,680 $ 196,964
Natural Gas ‐ CCF 140,326 $ 142,281 121,789 $ 104,523
Totals $ 340,012 $ 301,487
A benchmark measure of energy use relative to other similar function buildings
in the area is the Energy Use Index (EUI), which takes the total annual energy
used by the facility divided by the square footage area of the building, for a value
expressed in terms of kBTU/SF. This number can then be compared to other
buildings to see if it is average, higher or lower than similar buildings in the area.
Likewise, the Energy Cost Index (ECI) is the cost of all energy used by the
building expressed in $/SF of building area. The comparative values for the
subject building are shown in Table 2 below.
Table 2 – 2009 & 2010 Average EUI and ECI
Subject Building Sullivan Arena Ben Boeke Arena
Energy Use Index (EUI) ‐ kBTU/SF 333 149 171
Energy Cost Index (ECI) ‐ $/SF $5.44 $2.65 $3.48
As observed in Table 2 above, the energy consumption of this building, when
compared with similar use buildings in Anchorage, is excessive. This required
further investigation. A deeper analysis shows that this building has excessive
consumption of electricity when compared with both the Sullivan and Ben Boeke
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 7 of 77
arenas, and excessive consumption of natural gas when compared to the
Sullivan arena. See Chart 1 below.
*Ben Boeke benchmark data shows no gas consumption for
last 5 months of 2010, so last 5 months of 2009 were used
again in 2010
The auditor has surveyed both this building and the Sullivan arena, but has not
had access to the Ben Boeke arena. Consequently, explanations for the
excessive consumption compared with the Sullivan arena are listed below, but
explanations for the higher electrical consumption compared to the Boeke arena
can only be speculated upon. Listed below, in the order of the auditor’s estimate
of impact on energy consumption, the reasons for the subject buildings high
consumption compared to the Sullivan arena follow. The EEM’s in this report
will address items 2, 4 & 5 below, the other items are strictly operational and
cannot be rectified by energy efficiency measures.
1.) OCCUPANCY AND USAGE – The subject building is fully occupied and both
rinks are in use for an average of 10 hours per day for 11 months/year, while
the Sullivan’s full occupancy (i.e. events) averages 2 hours per day for 12
months/year. The Sullivan’s offices are occupied an average of 9 hours/day
on weekdays, but they make up less than 10% of the buildings square
footage.
2.) HVAC CONTROLS - The subject building’s main air handler for the East
building was observed to be using 100% OSA. See Appendix A photos. The
HVAC control system in this newer wing of the building utilizes DDC controls,
and the building operator is not familiar enough with the control system to
adjust the HVAC operations. He does manage the pneumatic controls in the
older, west wing of the building, and the OSA louvers were observed there,
to be operating with a more typical 33% OSA. The excessive 100% OSA
setting is the primary contributor to the high natural gas consumption and a
0 50 100 150 200 250
Subject Building

Electrical EUI
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 8 of 77
significant contributor to electrical consumption, as both the supply and
return fan motors were operating continuously. OSA temperature measured
during the audit was 28F, while supply temperature on the hot side of the
heating coil was only 68F, so it is questionable whether the conditioned air
temperature in the arena was even reaching the thermometer set points –
hence the continuous operation.
3.) TWO RINKS - Subject building has two ice rinks frozen for 11 months per
year, Sullivan has one rink frozen for 7 months per year.
4.) DEHUMIDIFICATION - The Sullivan arena does not have dehumidification,
the building operator utilizes outside air (OSA) to maintain low humidity
levels, while the subject building uses four dehumidification units, two of
which are mechanical and two are desiccant type, using gas fired
reactivation heating. None of the four units utilize heat recovery and the
reactivation air is 100% OSA. Furthermore, the building operator in the
Sullivan arena manually controls the (10) air handler units (AHU’s) based on
observed OSA temperature, OS and inside humidity levels (essentially,
calculating dew point temperature) and building usage, while the settings in
subject buildings are independent of usage or occupancy. The relative
humidity (RH) levels in the subject building were far below (31% and 39%)
where they needed to be (78%) to prevent condensation and ice fog.
5.) CHILLING - The Sullivan uses ground well water for its single chiller cooling,
while the subject building utilizes a bank of (12) 1.5 HP fans for each of its
two refrigeration units.
Various Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) have been analyzed for this
building to determine if they would provide energy savings with reasonably good
payback periods. EEMs are recommended for reasons including:
1.) they have a reasonably good payback period
2.) for code compliance
3.) end of life (EOL) replacement
4.) reasons pertaining to efficient building management
strategy, operations, maintenance and/or safety
All the EEMs considered for this facility are detailed in the attached AkWarm-C
Energy Audit Report in Appendix B and in Appendix D. Each EEM includes
payback times, estimated installation costs and estimated energy savings.
The summary EEM’s that follow are the only EEM’s that are recommended
for this building. Others have been considered but are not deemed to be
justified or cost effective. The recommended EEM’s were selected based on
consideration from three perspectives: overall efficiency of building
management, reduction in energy consumption and return on investment (ROI).
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 9 of 77
Efficient building management dictates, as an example: that all lights be
upgraded, that lamp inventory variations be minimized and that all appropriate
rooms have similar occupancy controls and setback thermostats - despite the
fact that a single or several rooms may have an unjustifiably long payback on
their individual lighting or controls upgrade.
The summary EEM’s below contain individual EEM’s that are grouped by type
(i.e. all relevant lighting upgrades are summed and listed as a single upgrade, all
thermostat setback retrofits are grouped together and listed as a single upgrade,
etc.). They are prioritized as a group, with the highest ROI (shortest payback)
listed first. Table 3 at the end of this section summarizes these EEM’s and
Appendix B (the AkWarm-C detailed report) and Appendix D provide additional
detail pertaining to each individual recommendation.
A.) ROOM TEMPERATURE SETBACK THERMOSTATS
The temperature in the rink rooms in the west and east wings
appear to be controlled by the pneumatic and DDC systems, while
the changing rooms, mechanical rooms and lobby are controlled
by local thermostats. It is recommended to install setback
thermostats in all of the changing rooms, offices, and lobby, and
incorporate set back night time temperatures into the control
systems for the rink rooms, to reduce room temperatures to 45F
during unoccupied periods. This summary EEM combines the
AkWarm-C retrofits detailed in Appendix B-1 & B-11.
Combined Setback Thermostat EEM’s:
Estimated cost (Part of the cost of this EEM
is included in correcting/adding
DDC controls per paragraph C below) $ 3,000
Annual Savings $ 13,796
Payback 3 months
B.) REPLACE HUMIDISTATS WITH DEW POINT SENSORS
Dehumidifiers that respond to a humidistat measuring relative
humidity (RH) remove much more moisture from the air than is
necessary to prevent condensation and ice fog. A dew point
sensor (DPS) manages the dehumidifier based on the parameter
that causes condensation – the dew point. It is recommended to
replace the humidistats with DPS’s. This EEM is a summary of
Appendix B items 2, 3, 4, 5 & 8.
Replace humidistats with DPS’s:
Estimated cost $ 3,000
Annual savings $ 4,940
Payback 8 months
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 10 of 77
C.) HVAC & HVAC CONTROLS
The HVAC controls in this building (particularly the Barber Colman
DDC controls in the east wing) appear to have incorrect settings.
It was observed during the audit survey that the AHU-1 OSA
dampers were 100% open, while the RA dampers were closed
(and the RA fan running). This, coupled with the excessive gas
consumption of this building, leads the auditor to recommend, as a
start, performing a retro-commissioning of the building’s HVAC
system. This would include a condition evaluation of HVAC
components, system and controls, and adjusting system outputs to
meet efficiency goals and building codes as well as current
occupancy and usage requirements. As a second step, it is
recommended to add a full DDC control system to the building,
which would include HVAC, ice refrigeration, dew point sensing
and dehumidification controls. It is also recommended to add
variable frequency drives (VFD’s) to the fan motors in AHU-1,
AHU-2, SF-1, RF-1, RE-1 and RE-2. See Appendix B-6, D-3 and
D-5B for additional detail:
HVAC controls EEM summary:
Total Estimated costs $ 66,787
Total Annual savings $ 65,096
Payback (assuming new DDC system) 1 year
D.) VENDING MACHINES
Vending machines typically run regardless of usage and
occupancy. There is a device which, when retro-fitted to an
existing vending machine, cycles the compressor and machine
lights based on usage patterns and proximity sensors. This
“Vending Miser” typically saves 46% in energy consumption while
still maintaining cold beverages. See Appendix B-5 and
www.vendingmiser.com.
Vending Machine EEM:
Estimated cost (for 2 machines) $500
Annual Savings $297
Payback 1.7 years
E.) REFRIGERATION WASTE HEAT FOR OSA PRE-HEAT
Despite the fact that waste heat from the ice refrigeration
compressors is already being used for snow melt and sub-floor
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 11 of 77
(earth) heat, there is still substantial compressor waste heat that
can be utilized to reduce energy consumption. Additional waste
heat can be reclaimed to pre-heat incoming OSA by installing deep
heating coils circulating glycol, in front of the existing heating coils.
This is estimated to reduce building heating costs by
approximately 30%-40%.
Pre-Heat OSA using waste heat:
Estimated cost $48,500
Annual Savings $18,799
Payback 2.6 years
F.) COMPRESSOR WASTE HEAT FOR DHW PRE-HEAT
It is estimated that 300,000 BTU of additional refrigeration
compressor waste heat can be used to pre-heat water used for
showers and Zamboni ice-resurfacing by adding (3) 120 gallon,
double walled heat reclaim tanks served by a glycol heat loop from
the compressors. See Appendix D-6A for details and Appendix H
for vendor proposal.
Estimated cost $36,500
Annual Savings $10,809
Payback 3.4 years
G.) ICE REFRIGERATION
Two EEM’s are recommended to reduce ice refrigeration
consumption. Radiant energy is emitted by the ceiling in
proportion to the ceiling’s emissivity, and has a significant effect on
the heat load on the ice (radiant heat can accounts for as much as
35% of the heat load on an ice sheet). A higher emissivity results
in a higher heat load on the ice, and therefore a higher
refrigeration load. The ceiling over the east rink is painted a light,
nearly white color, and has an estimated emissivity of .90 while the
ceiling over the west rink is a dark brick-red color and has an
estimated emissivity of .91. Two EEM’s were evaluated in
Appendix D-4. Product specifications supporting both EEM’s are
found in Appendix E. The estimated costs and savings of the
recommended EEM is included below.
The second energy savings can be obtained by adding VFD’s to
the compressor motors. See Appendix D-3 and Appendix B-10
for detail. Both the ceiling emissivity and VFD EEM’s are summed
below.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 12 of 77
Recommended EEM: Install Low-e ceiling curtain & VFD’s
Estimated cost (See Appendix H) $161,600
Annual Savings $ 42,236
Payback 3.8 years
H.) MOTORS
Generally, paybacks justify that all motors 5HP or larger, operating
for 1500 hours per year, or more, at continuous speed, should be
replaced at EOL with premium efficiency motors. Paybacks will
justify that motors 5HP or larger operating for 5000 hours per year
or longer, be replaced with premium efficiency motors immediately.
See table 4 in Appendix D-2 for complete, large-motor listing and
recommended premium upgrades. In this building, four of the
motors surveyed are operating sufficient hours to justify immediate
replacement and 6 motors should be replaced at EOL with
premium efficiency versions.
Motors recommended to be replaced now:
Estimated cost $ 5,300
Annual Savings $ 1,015
Payback 5.2 years
Motors recommended to be replaced at EOL:
Estimated cost $ 1,600
Annual Savings $ 620
Payback 2.6 years
I.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS
It is recommended to upgrade the T12, magnetic ballast, florescent
lighting in the west building to T8-28 watt lamps with electronic
ballasts. It is also recommended that at the next building re-lamp,
change all the T8-32 watt lamps in the east building to T8-28 watt
energy savers, which will result in a 12% energy savings with a $3
incremental additional lamp cost.
It is also recommended to add occupancy sensors to all team
changing rooms, locker rooms, mechanical rooms and storage
rooms.
Upgrading the metal halide rink lighting to T5-HO fixtures was
considered but is not recommended. The difference in energy
consumption is not significantly different; the savings from this kind
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 13 of 77
of lighting change results from the use of occupancy sensors to
turn off the T5 lighting during periods of non-use. The high use of
this building combined with the building operator’s judicious use of
the rink lights renders the EEM unjustifiable.
See Appendix B-13 & 14 for details, and Appendix E for more
information on occupancy sensors.
Combined Lighting Control EEM’s:
Estimated cost $19,950
Annual Savings $ 2,905
Payback 6.9 years
Table 3 summarizes the estimated cost totals and estimated annual
savings totals of the nine (A. through I.) summary EEM’s listed above.
Table 3
Combined total of priority, high‐ROI,
strategically recommended EEM’s listed above:
Estimated total cost $ 345,137
Annual Savings $ 158,893
Simple payback 2.2 years
Does not include design or construction management costs
In addition to EEMs, various Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) are
recommended since they are policies or procedures that are followed by
management and employees that require no capital outlay. Examples of
recommended ECMs for this facility include:
1. Turning lights off when leaving a room that is not controlled by an
occupancy sensor.
2. All man-doors, roll-up doors and windows should be properly
maintained and adjusted to close and function properly.
3. Turn off computers, printers, faxes, etc. when leaving the office.
The total of all 19 recommendations listed in Appendix’s B and D of this report,
estimate to save $160,952/year, with an installed cost of $374,317. The
combined payback on this investment is 2.3 years. This does not include design
or construction management services, Some of the costs totaling $374,317 are
incremental costs for higher efficiency replacements, so actual budgetary costs
for unit replacements will be higher. See individual EEM’s for further detail.

2. Audit and Analysis Background
Program Description: This audit included services to identify, develop, and
evaluate energy efficiency measures for the subject building. The scope of this
project included evaluating the building shell, lighting, hot water generation and
HVAC equipment. The auditor may or may not identify system deficiencies if
they exist. The auditor’s role is to identify areas of potential savings, many of
which may require more detailed investigation and analysis by other qualified
professionals.
a. Audit Description and Methodology: Preliminary audit information was
gathered in preparation for the site survey, including benchmark utility
consumption data, floor and lighting plans, and equipment schedules where
available. A site visit is then performed to inventory and evaluate the actual
building condition, including:
i. Building envelope (walls, doors, windows, etc)
ii. Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
iii. Lighting systems and controls
iv. Building specific equipment
v. Plumbing Systems
b. Benchmark Utility Data Validation: Benchmark utility data provided
through AHFC’s initial phase of their REAL program is validated, confirming
that meter numbers on the subject building match the meters from which the
energy consumption and cost data were collected. If the data is inaccurate
or missing, new benchmark data is obtained. In the event that there are
inconsistencies or gaps in the data, the existing data is evaluated and
missing data points are interpolated.
c. Method of Analysis: The information gathered prior to the site visit and
during the site visit is entered into AkWarm-C, an energy modeling software
program developed specifically for AHFC to identify forecasted energy
consumption. The forecasts can then be compared to actual energy
consumption. AkWarm-C also has some pre-programmed EEM retrofit
options that can be analyzed with projected energy savings based on
occupancy schedules, utility rates, building construction type, building
function, existing conditions, and climatic data uploaded to the program
based on the zip code of the building. When new equipment is proposed,
energy consumption is calculated based on manufacturer’s cataloged
information.
Energy cost savings are calculated based on the historical energy costs for
the building. Installation costs include the labor and equipment required to
implement an EEM retrofit, but design and construction management costs
are excluded. Cost estimates are +/- 30% for this level of audit, and are
derived from one or more of the following: Means Cost Data, industry
publications, experience of the auditor, local contractors and/or equipment
suppliers. Mechanical Solutions, Inc, Yaskawa America Drives, and J.P.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 15 of 77
Sheldon, all in Anchorage, were consulted for some of the VFD controls,
dehumidification, boiler, air handling retrofit and/or replacement costs.
Accent Refrigeration Systems provided expertise, calculations and cost
estimates for upgrading the building’s refrigeration and dehumidification
systems. Maintenance savings are calculated, where applicable, and are
added to the energy savings for each EEM.
The costs and savings are considered and a simple payback period and ROI
is calculated. The simple payback period is based on the number of years
that it takes for the savings to pay back the net installation cost (Net
Installation costs divided by Net Savings.) In cases where the EEM
recommends replacement at EOL, the incremental cost difference between
the standard equipment in place, and the higher efficiency equipment being
recommended is used as the cost basis for payback calculation. The SIR
found in the AkWarm-C report is the Savings to Investment Ratio, defined as
the breakeven cost divided by the initial installed cost.
A simple life-time calculation is included in the AkWarm-C calculation for
each EEM. The life-time for each EEM is estimated based on the typical life
of the equipment being replaced or altered. The energy savings is
extrapolated throughout the life-time of the EEM. The total energy savings is
calculated as the total life-time multiplied by the yearly savings.
d. Limitations of the Study: All results are dependent on the quality of input
data provided, and may only act as an approximation. In some instances,
several methods may achieve the identified savings. This report is not a
design document. A design professional, licensed to practice in Alaska and
in the appropriate discipline, who is following the recommendations, shall
accept full responsibility and liability for the results. Budgetary estimates for
engineering and design of these projects in not included in the cost estimate
for each EEM recommendation, but these costs can be approximated at 15%
of the cost of the work.

4. Building Description and Function:
The site visit and survey of subject building occurred on December 6th, 2011.
The ambient outside temperature was 30F.
The building has one story consisting of the two 85’ x 200’ ice rinks, team
changing rooms, showers and locker rooms, two ice re-surfacing machine
(ZAM) garages, mechanical rooms and an office. The east half of the building,
built in 1983 contains just over 29,000 square feet; the west wing of the building
has approximately the same square footage and was constructed in 1998, the
building total is 58,958 square feet.
The entire building is constructed on a reinforced concrete slab on grade, 4”
thick, with 2’ of rigid foam perimeter insulation. The building’s primary structure
consists of un-insulated 8” concrete masonry units (CMU’s) supporting steel
trusses supporting purloins, metal roof decking and a membrane over R-30 rigid
foam insulation. The “shed” sections on the south side of the building and
between the buildings are constructed of 6” steel studs 16” oc with R-19
fiberglass batts for insulation and R-20 rigid foam roof insulation. Siding and
roofing of the “shed” sections are metal. Inside CMU walls are painted but
otherwise unfinished; inside “shed” walls are finished with gypsum.
There are very few windows in this building, those that exist are in average
condition, have aluminum frames and double pane glass.
Building details are as follows:
a. HVAC
Heating System: Space heating in this building is provided
by two 30-year old, 2320 MBH, 80% efficient cast iron
sectional, gas fired boilers in the west wing and two 15-year
old, 2656 MBH, 87% efficient, gas fired cast iron sectional
boilers in the east wing. Heat distribution is through unit
heaters in the changing rooms and lockers, and hydronic coil-
supplied air handler units (AHU’s) serving the main rink
areas, office and lunch area. Unit heaters have local,
adjustable (although may are locked inside plastic wall cases)
wall-thermostats which control the unit’s fan. Glycol is
“running wild” (i.e. no fluid control valve) in all unit heaters.
The AHU’s are constant volume, damper controlled; their
heating coils have 3-way valves presumably controlled by
zone thermostats, which also control fan and blower
activation. The control system in the older, west wing is a
pneumatic system while in the east wing it is controlled by a
Barber Colman DDC system utilizing electric actuators.
Ventilation: Ventilation and make up air is provided by five
air handlers (AHU’s) and 11 exhaust, return and supply fans,
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 18 of 77
several utilizing heating coils. There appears to be some
dysfunction in the DDC control system in the east wing. It
was observed (see photos in Appendix A) that the 25,000
CFM, AHU-1 in the east wing was running with OSA dampers
100% open and return air dampers 100% closed, while the
supply and return air fan motors were running continuously.
This is a contributor to the excessive consumption of natural
gas in this facility.
b. Ice Refrigeration and waste heat: Refrigeration units are
located in compressor rooms in the east and west wings, they
are dedicated to their adjacent rink. The older, west wing
utilizes a 1984 Holmsten direct refrigeration package with
R22 refrigerant pumped under the ice. Waste heat is
captured with an R22 loop through a shell and tube heat
exchanger over glycol, to provide subfloor and snow pit heat
The newer, east rink utilizes a 1998 Vilter 350 compressor
and R22 refrigerant in a shell and tube heat exchanger over
glycol for indirect ice refrigeration. Compressor waste heat is
circulated through a second, glycol over glycol shell and tube
heat exchanger to provide subfloor and snow pit heat. Both
refrigeration systems use outside, 12-fan evaporators. The
east evaporator is located outside the southeast corner of the
building, the west evaporator is rooftop. The east evaporator
has a 12’ tall loop in its piping which creates large suction
pressures and difficulties with the return refrigerant.
c. Dehumidification: Dehumidification is provided in the west
wing by two Munter A5G, desiccant systems, installed in
2004, using 100 MBH gas fired, modulating burners as the re-
activation heat source and 100% OSA for re-activation. Re-
activation air is exhausted with no heat recovery, while
heated (approximately 30F higher sensible temperature)
dehumidified air is exhausted back into the building. Process
control is via head pressure sensing and operating hours are
assumed to be controlled by a local humidistat.
Dehumidification in the east wing is provided by two Dumont
Iceline DI-1800 compressor systems installed in 1998. The
Dumont system blowers run continuously, with the
compressors cycling on approximately 50% of the time. It is
assumed that RH is used to cycle the compressor. It
exhausts chilled air into the building without re-heat.
d. Appliances: There is one residential type refrigerator in this
building and two refrigerated vending machines. The
refrigerator is recommended for replacement with Energy
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 19 of 77
Star units at EOL. A “VendingMiser” is recommended for the
vending machines. See Appendix B-9 for details.
This building has 1 PC in use; it is generally recommended to
replace desktop PC’s with laptops at EOL.
e. Zamboni Ice Resurfacing Machines: There are two
Zamboni ice re-surfacing machines (ZAM’s), one dedicated to
each rink. Both appear to be in good condition. Each uses
160 gallons of hot water per re-surface plus 50-100 gallons of
hot water for cleanup.
f. Plumbing Fixtures: This building contains a total of (15)
toilets, (9) urinals, (14) lavatory sinks and (14) showers. All
fixtures are manually operated and appear to be post-1992,
so consume 3 gpf (toilets) and 1 gpf (urinals) and 2.6 gpm
(shower heads). See Appendix D-1 for EEM
recommendations.
g. Domestic Hot Water: Domestic hot water (DHW) usage in
this building is very hight. DHW is not only used for showers
and lavatories but also for ice maintenance and ZAM
cleanup. Between showers, lavatories and ZAM ice
maintenance, over 9400 gallons/day of hot water are used.
There are two gas fired hot water heaters on the premises,
the older one is an 80 gallon State unit, approximately 80%
efficient, the new one is a 100 gallon Bradford White,
approximately 95%-98% efficient.
h. Interior Lighting & Controls: This west wing of this building
has not had a lighting upgrade since it was built. It has T12
lamps with magnetic ballasts in rooms. The 1998 east wing
has T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. Both rinks use metal
halide pendants to illuminate the rinks. Additionally there are
mercury vapor “night lights” in the west wing for use during
janitorial service, and recessed-can metal halide lights in the
interior lobby. Rink lighting in the east wing is very consistent
at 25-28 foot candles while lighting in the west wing is spotty,
ranging from 83-190 depending on location.
Lighting Controls: There are no occupancy sensors in the
building. All room and office lights are manually activated by
a normal wall switch or a “T-key” wall switch. Arena and
lobby lighting is controlled by a manual switch panel in the
office. Appendix B details completion of a full lighting
upgrade. See Appendix E for additional information on
occupancy sensors.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 20 of 77
Exit signs in the west wing are self illuminating, non-electric.
In the east wing, they are LED. Exit signs, light fixtures and
anything else within “puck range” takes a beating in this
building; hockey pucks can fly in all directions and constant
maintenance is required.
i. Exterior Lighting: Exterior lights include wall packs on the
building and pole lights in the parking lot, they are all high
pressure sodium (HPS) and controlled by photo sensors.
j. Building Shell: The building shell was described earlier; it
appears to be in good condition, inside and out. The front
entry doors allow a significant amount of air infiltration – they
do not close tightly and should be either repaired or replaced.
Additionally, there is no arctic entry in this building, so during
periods of occupancy there is a large heat loss through door
openings. Overhead doors appear to be original, and are
nearing their EOL.
k. Motors: There are 16 large (5 HP or larger) motors in use in
this building, the highest power-consuming units being (4)
100 HP compressor motors. The compressor motors are
premium efficiency with a 93% rating. All 16 are listed and
considered for replacement with premium efficiency motors in
Appendix D-2.
5. Historic Energy Consumption: Energy consumption is modeled within the
AkWarm-C program. The program typically analyzes twelve months of data.
Two year’s worth of HWS energy (BTU”s) and electricity consumption were
averaged then input into AKWarm-C. This monthly data is found in Appendix G.
Energy consumption was analyzed using two factors: the Energy Cost Index
(ECI) and the Energy Use Index (EUI). The energy cost index takes the annual
costs of natural gas and electrical energy over the surveyed period of time (two
years) divided by the square footage of the building. The ECI for this building is
$5.44/SF, the ECI’s for two similar buildings, the Ben Boeke arena and Sullivan
arena, are $3.48/SF, and $2.65/SF, respectively.
The energy use index (EUI) is the total annual average electrical and natural gas
energy consumption expressed in thousands of BTUs/SF. The average of the
2009 and 2010 EUI for this building is 333 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010
EUI for the Ben Boeke arena is 171 kBTU/SF and 149 kBTU/SF for the Sullivan
arena. The average for “Places of public assembly” (which is the closest
building category, Ice arenas are not tracked) across the US varies from 89 to
102 kBTU/SF as logged by the US Energy Information Administration. This
source data can be viewed at:

6. Interactive Effects of Projects: The AkWarm-C program calculates savings
assuming that all recommended EEM that are modeled, are implemented in the
order shown in Appendix B. Some of the EEM’s listed in Appendix B noted as
“see Appendix D” are not modeled in AkWarm-C model due to limitations in
AkWarm-C’s capability. Therefore the savings calculated by AkWarm-C do not
take them into consideration, and visa versa. Furthermore, if the EEM’s
calculated by AkWarm-C are implemented out of order, savings for the
remaining EEMs will be affected, in some cases positively, and in others,
negatively. As a result of these anomalies, the overall building savings on the
first page of Appendix B may be over or understated.
In general, all projects were evaluated sequentially so that energy savings
associated with one EEM would not be attributed to another EEM as well. Best
efforts are made to model the recommended projects sequentially, so as to best
account for the interactive effects between the EEMs and not “double count”
savings.
Interior lighting, plug loads, facility equipment, and occupants generate heat
within the building. When the building is in cooling mode, these contribute to the
overall cooling demands of the building; therefore lighting efficiency
improvements will reduce cooling requirements on air conditioned buildings.
Conversely, lighting efficiency improvements are anticipated to increase heating
requirements slightly. Heating penalties are included in the lighting project
analysis that is performed by AkWarm-C.
7. Loan Program: The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) Alaska
Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Fund (AEERLF) is a State of Alaska program
enacted by the Alaska Sustainable Energy Act (senate Bill 220, A.S. 18.56.855,
“Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Fund). The AEERLF will provide loans for
energy efficiency retrofits to public facilities via the Retrofit Energy Assessment
for Loan System (REAL). As defined in 15 AAC 155.605, the program may
finance energy efficiency improvements to buildings owned by:
a. Regional educational attendance areas;
b. Municipal governments, including political subdivisions of municipal
governments;
c. The University of Alaska;
d. Political subdivisions of the State of Alaska, or
e. The State of Alaska
Native corporations, tribal entities, and subsidiaries of the federal government
are not eligible for loans under this program.

Appendix D
Additional, Building-Specific EEM details
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF D-1, THESE EEM’S ARE INTERACTIVE AND
DO NOT TAKE EACH OTHER INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN SAVINGS
ARE CALCULATED, SO THEY CANNOT BE ADDED CUMULATIVELY.
FURTHERMORE, INDIVIDUAL EEM SAVINGS WILL BE REDUCED (OR
INCREASED) DEPENDING ON WHICH EEM’S ARE SELECTED AND IN
WHAT ORDER THEY ARE IMPLEMENTED.
D-1: Plumbing fixtures: All urinals should be retrofitted or be replaced with ultra low
flow models. Urinals and faucets should have proximity sensing on/off controls.
Manually flushed toilets should be retrofitted with dual flush valves (see below). This
audit does not include water usage and AkWarm-C does not allow for the modeling of
it, but a typical faucet retrofit will result in 30% water savings and will payback in less
than 3 years. Ultra low flow urinals (1 pint to ½ gallon per flush) can save up to 66%
of water used, and typically pay back within 3 years. Dual flush toilet valves will
typically pay back within 1-3 years, depending on usage. These payback periods are
reduced by 66% or more if the fixture is replaced at its EOL rather than while it’s still
functioning. For an EOL replacement, the cost used is the incremental difference in
cost between an ultra-low-flow fixture and a straight across replacement with the same
fixture.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA

D-2: Motor replacements: It is generally recommended that all motors, 5HP or larger,
operating for 1500 hrs per year, or more, at continuous speed, be replaced at EOL with
premium efficiency motors. Motors operating for 5000 hours per year, or more, can be
replaced with premium efficiency motors prior to burn out, with a justifiable payback.
Motors in this building, 5HP and larger, are listed below, along with recommendations
for cost effective replacement at burn-out and for immediate replacement. There are
four instances in this building of cost effective motor replacement with premium
efficiency motors, prior to burn out.

D-3: Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) on AHU fan and Compressor motors
(included in Appendix B items 6 & 10): If outfitted with a VFD with a programmable
input device (PID) which responds to a process parameter such as duct pressure for an
AHU or suction or discharge pressure on a compressor, a motor has the capability to
only produce enough power to meet the demand. There is tremendous savings
potential resulting from the relationship between motor load required and resulting fluid
or air flow (Affinity Laws). As an example, if 100% of the air flow requires 100%
motor’s horsepower, the Affinity laws state that 70% of air (or fluid) flow requires only
34% of the horsepower. Fan motors and pumps are sized for the worst case load
scenario, and consequently need only be operating at 30%-70% of their full load, 90%
of the time. VFD’s are recommended for larger, 3-phase motors that are under varying
load and duty cycles, such as air handlers and reciprocating compressor motors. The
motors summarized in table 5 below, are recommended to be retro-fitted with VFD’s.
These motors were evaluated using software called, “Energy Predictor”, provided by
Yaskawa, a manufacturer of VFD’s; excerpts from the detailed software reports are
found in Appendix F. The percentage of savings were predicted using the Yaskawa
software, and then input into AkWarm-C as a reduction in power consumption. The
AHU savings are included in the EEM in Appendix B-2, the compressor savings are
included in the EEM’s in Appendix B-10. It is important to note that these savings are
over-stated because they are based solely on the reduction in electrical consumption
resulting from the motor speed reduction. When a fan or compressor motor speed is
reduced, GPM or CFM is also reduced, so the motor will have to operate at slightly
higher load and speed to maintain building parameters, which will erode a small
percentage of the electrical savings. Neither the Yaskawa software or the AkWarm-C
software has the capability to calculate this iterative condition.

** Assumes VFD’s are installed after Low-e curtain has been installed and those

running the software twice – once with the 52% reduction predicted by Yaksawa’s
software, and then again without the reduction.

D-4: Radiant energy emission from ceiling (included in Appendix B item
10): The radiant energy emitted by the ceiling is proportional to the ceiling’s
emissivity, and has a significant effect on the heat load on the ice. It can be as
much as 33% of the entire heat load on the ice (see chart below). A higher
emissivity results in a higher heat load on the ice, and therefore a higher
refrigeration load.
The primary energy savings that results from a lower ceiling emissivity is a
reduction of up to 20% of the refrigeration required. Secondary results include
higher light reflectance, which results in better light distribution and should allow
a reduction in lighting levels and subsequent reduction in lighting heat load on
the ice.
Chart 2
The ceiling over the east rink is painted a light, nearly white color, and has an
estimated emissivity of .90 while the ceiling over the west rink is a dark brick-red
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 46 of 77
color and has an estimated emissivity of .91. Two EEM’s were evaluated here,
product specifications supporting each option are found in Appendix E.
It is estimated that the refrigeration load for a 1” thick ice sheet is 30-40 BTU/hr per
square foot, and 30-40% of that is required to overcome radiated ceiling energy
(ASHRAE Chapter 44, Refrigeration, Table 2). Assuming a conservative 36 BTU/hr
refrigeration load and an EER for the refrigeration system of 10, and operating hours
(FLEH) of 4380/yr, each rink requires 257,444 KWh of refrigeration annually (not
considering glycol and refrigerant circulation pumps or piping losses).
Option 1 considered but not recommended – Paint ceilings with a low-e paint. With
properties similar to low-e window coatings, low-e paint would reduce the emissivity of
the ceiling from .9 to approximately .25. This results in a calculated 57% reduction in
radiated energy and a 23% refrigeration energy savings. Additional details are found in
Table 6 below.
Option 2 – recommended – Install a low-e “ceiling curtain” suspended from the
ceiling. The curtain in Appendix E has an emissivity of .03. The reduction from the
current painted ceiling’s .9 emissivity results in a 94% reduction in radiated energy and
a 37% refrigeration energy savings. Additional detail is in Table 6 below.

D-5: HVAC, DEHUMIDIFICATION AND REFRIGERATION HEAT RECOVERY:
In an ice arena, building heating, ventilation, ice refrigeration, sub-floor heating and de-
humidification are integrally related and significant efficiencies can be obtained if they
are evaluated together. This is best performed during the building design stage, not as
a series of retrofits. This audit integrates these building systems as well as possible,
given the reality of a retrofit environment.
The following EEM’s are presented as sub-paragraphs under D-6 due to the
integral relationship they have with each other. Again, the savings may be
overstated, depending on which EEM’s and in what order they are implemented.
D-5A: De-humidification (Included in Appendix B items 2,3,4,5 & 8): Condensation
inside a building causes seriously detrimental effects on many components of the
building and resulting mold and/mildew is detrimental to the health of its occupants.
Condensation occurs when the air temperature decreases sufficiently that it can no
longer hold its moisture in suspension. The term “dew point” refers to the temperature
at which the air can no longer hold, and therefore starts to deposit its moisture.
Dew point depends on a number of factors, but primarily on the moisture content of the
air, called “relative humidity” (RH) and the temperature. There are two ways to avoid
condensation in an ice arena. 1.) Keep the inside air warm enough to hold its moisture
by exhausting it regularly as it saturates with water, and replacing it with dryer, outside
air, or 2.) lower the moisture content by removing enough moisture from the inside air
so the dew point is kept below the room air temperature.
Since there are dehumidifiers in this building, the RH, OSA percentage and air
temperature can all be controlled to minimize energy consumption. This is not
occurring currently. The following recommendations were considered. Item 1 is
recommended, while items 2 through 5 are not economically justified for energy
savings, if item 1 is incorporated; but they should still be considered from a
maintenance standpoint.
1.) It is appears that the (4) dehumidifiers in the building are controlled by
humidistat’s. These should be replaced with “dew point sensors” (DPS). RH
varies with temperature while a DPS directly monitors and controls air moisture
content based on the parameter which causes condensation and ice fog – the
dew point. While a humidistat will activate a dehumidifier when the air
temperature decreases because the RH is increasing, a DPS will not activate it
until the dew point setting is reached. Estimated cost is $1500 ea for (2) units
installed, savings is shown in table 7 below. A sample DPS specification is
found in Appendix E.

Incorporation of this EEM reduces the annual cost of dehumidification
significantly. The following EEM’s were also considered, but as a result of the
large reduction in dehumidification costs from the DPS, they are not
economically justified. They are offered for reference and maintenance
purposes.
2.) Replace the desiccant wheels in the two Munter’s dehumidifiers, they have an 8-
10 year life with normal use (they have high usage in this building) so are past
their life expectancy. New wheels will be 10-20% more effective, reducing gas
consumption and fan motor use by the same amount. Estimated costs are
$3000 each for (2) wheels.
3.) The shaft seals in the Munters unit are rated at 25,000 hours. It is estimated
that the units run 50% of the time, so have exceeded this duty cycle, which
means that air is probably leaking past the seals, reducing efficiency. A similar
maintenance review of the Dumont compressor units should be undertaken.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA DEMPSEY ANDERSON ICE ARENA
June 28, 2012 Page 49 of 77
4.) Pre-heating the re-activation air with a glycol heating coil (either supplied by
waste or boiler heat) should be considered if any heat piping modifications are to
be made in the future. As a standalone EEM, this is not currently justifiable.
5.) The blower motor in the Dumont unit should be controlled by the DPS along with
the condenser motor; this would prevent the blower motor from running
continuously as it does now. No cost estimate or savings is provided for this
recommendation, it should be incorporated with item #1 above.
D-5B: HVAC Controls – as previously mentioned, the DDC HVAC control system in
this building is not operating properly. Three factors support the auditor’s conclusion:
the AHU-1 OSA dampers (controlled by the DDC Barber Colman system) were 100%
open, RA dampers 100% closed, the supply and return fans running full throttle.
Secondly, the natural gas (heating) EUI of this building is excessively high compared to
similar use buildings. Third, in order to reconcile the AkWarm-C model’s predicted gas
usage with the actual usage, 100% OSA had to be used for AHU-1 and AHU-2 (and
AHU-2 was not operating during the audit). Here is a summary table demonstrating the
impact of HVAC Controls corrections for AHU-1 and AHU-2, i.e. bringing them to 10%
OSA. This data was obtained by running AkWarm-C with current OSA settings per
2009/2010 consumption and again with 10% OSA settings.

ROOM AND ICE TEMPERATURE SETBACKS
Courtesy of Accent Refrigeration (Appendix H), some rules of thumb:
- For every 1F increase in ice temperature, there is roughly a 10% reduction in
refrigeration costs
- For every 2F reduction in room temperature, there is roughly a 10% reduction
in ice refrigeration costs.
- Ice refrigeration costs typically are 60% of the entire building’s utility costs
(when including circulation pumps, piping losses, dehumidification, etc.)
Appendices B-1 and B-11 show the savings and payback of utilizing nighttime setback
temperatures of 45F for the ice rink room and 50F for the changing rooms and offices,
as calculated by AkWarm-C. It is assumed that this capability is contained in the East
rink’s DDC control system and not in the West rink’s pneumatic control system.
AkWarm-C does not have the capability to calculate savings associated with night time
ice temperature setbacks, but using the rule of thumb above, it is estimated that a DDC
control system that could implement night time ice temperature set back’s increasing
the ice temperature by 2F from 11:00PM until 7:00AM would save 5%, or $3500/year in
refrigeration costs.
A DDC control system that included HVAC, ice refrigeration parameters and air
humidity is recommended for the entire building. It is not clear that the existing
Barber Colman DDC system in the East rink has this capability. Such a system is
proposed by Accent Refrigeration (Appendix H); the proposed system would achieve
the following:
- Vary ice temperature based on occupancy and type of use
- Vary room temperature based on occupancy
- Vary humidity and OSA based on dew point and room temperature
(accounted for in Appendix D-3, so not counted again in these savings)
- Vary compressor motor load based on compressor discharge pressure and
ice temperature
Summary EEM D-5B: Add and/or replace existing DDC control system with
new one with capability to manage ice temperatures and room
temperatures and humidity based on occupancy, schedule and season
Estimated cost $27,500
Annual Savings (estimated 10% savings
after incorporation of all other EEM’s –use
AkWarm’s “with proposed retrofits” costs for
space heating, ventilation fans, refrigeration

and other electrical) $11,418
Payback 2.4 years
D-6: REFRIGERATION HEAT RECOVERY: See Accent Refrigeration report in
Appendix H. Currently, waste heat from the compressors in each wing is utilized for
sub-floor heating and snow pit melting.
Theoretically, if the refrigerant cooling tower fans are operating at all, excess
refrigeration heat is being wasted (and they are operating). A number of uses of
refrigeration waste heat were considered including:
DHW pre-heat (which is recommended in D-6A below)
OSA pre-heat (which is recommended in D-6B below)
Energy recovery dehumidification by sub-cooling existing refrigeration (not
recommended due to high initial cost and reduced dehumidification
requirement if D-6A is implemented)
D-6A: Domestic Hot Water pre-heating
It is estimated that 300,000 BTU of waste heat can be utilized to reduce the DHW load
in the building. The two gas fired hot water heaters use approximately 3656 MMBTU/yr
to supply hot water for showers and ice-resurfacing. (9442 gallons/day) It is
recommended to install a pre-heat system using compressor waste heat circulated
through (3) 120 gallon, double walled heat reclaim tanks.
Waste heat DHW EEM:
Estimated cost, including piping $ 36,500
Annual Savings (39% reduction in boiler heat load
required for DHW) $ 10,809
Payback: 3.4 years
D-6B: OSA pre-heat
It is recommended to add deep coils to the existing OSA plenums in S-2 and AHU-1,
the main air handlers. The coils would utilize refrigeration waste heat from each rink,
and are estimated to increase the OSA supply temperature to the existing boiler-
supplied heating coils to 50F-60F (depending on the OSA temperature) and reduce
heat load on the boilers by up to 40%.
Waste heat OSA pre-heat EEM:
Estimated cost, including piping: $ 48,500
Annual Savings (40% of AkWarm-C’s “with proposed
Retrofits” space heating costs) $ 18,799
Payback: 2.6 years

Lighting Controls
Occupancy sensors sense the presence of occupants, turn the lights on at a pre-
determined level, and then turn the lights off after a programmed time period of no
occupancy. Line of sight, motion sensing occupancy sensors can be installed in
existing duplex switch boxes, as well as on ceilings. Dual technology sensors are
typically ceiling mounted in rooms, lavatories, corridors, vehicle bays and storage areas
where obstacles may interfere with line-of-sight sensors. The second technology in
these sensors activates lighting based on sound or changes in position, and work even
when a person is fully obscured by an obstacle. Zoned occupancy controls are
typically recommended for long corridors, large vehicle bays and large storage areas
with multiple switches and lighting zones. Zoned controls are designed to activate and
de-activate lighting by zone, by row, or even by fixture, based on the location of the
occupant. Occupancy sensors can reduce power consumption by 25-60%. Paybacks
on occupancy sensors range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the light fixture
consumption and occupancy of the room.
Lighting Management Systems (LMS) today have the capability to manage lighting
based on a wide variety of parameters including building usage, daylight conditions and
occupancy. They are retro-fittable, and can be stand alone or integrated into a
building’s HVAC DDC control system. Additionally, they can be easily re-configured
as a building’s usage or occupancy pattern changes.
Sample LMS systems and a sample high bay occupancy sensor (which could be used
for zone lighting control) follow.
