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 January 5, 2012. Time was spent 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, 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.

V.I Architectural Description
Wall, floor, and roof construction details were obtained from the architectural drawings. Exterior walls of
the school were constructed using predominantly 6” metal studs filled with 5.5” of fiberglass batt
insulation, 5/8” gypsum wall board, and brick tiles attached to concrete backer board for an effective R)
value of R)16.7. The walls surrounding the multipurpose room, kitchen, and mechanical room were
constructed using 8” metal studs on 16” centers with 8” fiberglass batts, 5/8” gypsum wall board, and
brick tiles over concrete backer board yielding an effective R)value of R)21. Wall heights in most of the
building are 11’)4” high. This wall height accounts for a suspended ceiling concealing ductwork and
mechanical heating equipment. There are areas in the building with taller exterior walls; the fan room
wall height is 32’)8”, the gym wall is 32 feet high, and the multipurpose wall height is 18’)11”. The total
above)grade wall area of the school building is 26,397 sf.
Floor construction for the school is 4” thick, reinforced, concrete slab)on)grade with two inches of rigid
edge insulation (R)10), extending an estimated two feet below grade. The main building has a 58,968 sf
slab on grade footprint with a 2,699 sf upper floor for a total of 61,667 sf usable floor space.
The roof is ventilated and gabled with a 16 degree slope and consists of a metal deck overlay, 1/2”
moisture resistant gypsum wall board, a vapor barrier, 4” thick composite insulation board, a self
adhering, modified bitumen ice shield, and composite shingles for an effective R)value of R)23. The
gymnasium, library, and fan room have an inverted roof membrane assembly consisting of a metal deck,
an estimated 4” of fiberboard insulation, and a single)ply waterproof membrane. The approximate area for
the inverted roof membrane assembly is 14,500 sf with an estimated R)value of R)18. Analysis of the
building shows a total roof area of 61,479 sf. This is greater than the slab)on grade floor area due to
sloped roofs in use.
Typical window construction for the school consists of double pane, clear glass with a 3/4” air space
between the panes and an aluminum frame with a thermal break. These windows each contain an operable
section with 2’x5’ dimensions. An effective insulating value of R)1.6 was given to all windows in the
school. The school’s window area for all windows facing south is approximately 700 sf and all other
window areas for the school total approximately 1,200 sf.
The majority of the exterior man doors in the school are insulated hollow metal doors with an effective R)
value of R)2.5. There are four entryway doors that are hollow metal with insulated cores (R)5.3) and four
entryway doors that are hollow metal with insulated cores and half lite windows (R)2.2). The outside
storage room, adjacent to the mechanical room, has an insulated overhead sectional door with an R)value
of R)2.6. All of the doors were installed during the original construction, have weather stripping in fair to
poor condition, and are approximately 16 years old.
V.II Mechanical Description
The school is heated with three gas fired boilers with an input rating of 2,049MBH each that deliver heat
to perimeter hydronic baseboards, terminal unit heaters, and hydronic coils in air handling units (AHUs).
The boilers are original to the school (1996), are manufactured by Weil McLain, model BG)788, and are
equipped with a 0.85kW Weishaupt burner, model DK07)2. Each boiler is provided with a 1 HP primary
pump and a 1/6 HP recirculation pump. A pair of 7.5 HP secondary pumps provide hot water to terminal
devices throughout the facility and a plate)and)frame heat exchanger in the fan room. The heat exchanger
generates hot glycol which is circulated to the air handling units with a pair of 3 HP pumps.
An A.O. Smith, model BTP199, gas fired water heater with an 80 gallon storage tank and input rating of
199 MBH is used to provide hot water for the school and kitchen area. The domestic water line has a hot
water recirculation line which uses a 1/6 HP, bronze in)line circulator pump.

Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/19/2012 10 AkWarm No. CIRI)ANC)CAEC)12
There are four AHUs in the building that are controlled by a Siemens Direct Digital Control (DDC)
system. AHU)1 is comprised of dual horizontal draw)through 44” diameter plug fans and serves the
majority of the school spaces using two 30 HP fans that together provide 56,500 standard cubic feet per
minute (scfm) of conditioned air. AHU)2, a horizontal draw through fan unit with a 7.5 HP motor,
provides conditioned air to the multipurpose room and adjacent music office and stage spaces at 11,670
scfm. AHU)3 serves the gymnasium and operates with a 5 HP fan providing tempered air at 7,900 scfm.
AHU)4 provides conditioned air to the server room and is located in the fan room. It is a horizontal draw
through cabinet fan with a 1/3 HP fan.
V.III Electrical Description
The school is served by a 2000 amp (A), 120/208 volt (V), three phase, 4)wire, underground electrical
service connected to a pad mounted utility transformer. The school has a 125 kilowatt standby diesel
generator used to power selected loads in the event of a power outage. Standby power is distributed
through two automatic transfer switches to two distribution panels, a 600A transfer switch for standby
loads and a 100A transfer switch for emergency loads. Emergency loads include the emergency egress
lights.
Most fluorescent light fixtures in the school utilize T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. 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 are used in many
locations throughout the school to control light fixtures. These areas include but are not limited to the
classrooms, multipurpose room, and some offices.
The corridors feature exposed beams that run perpendicular to the corridor from wall to wall beneath a
peaked roof. Most of the corridor lighting is provided from these beams by 1'x4' lensed troffer down
lights with two T8 lamps, and 4' single lamp T8 strip up lights illuminating the ceiling from the top of the
beams.
Incandescent light fixtures were observed in two locations in the school. One fixture was located in a
mechanical room, and one other fixture was located in the library office as a desk lamp.
The gymnasium was originally illuminated with several 400 watt (W) high bay metal halide light fixtures
that have been replaced by four lamp fluorescent T5HO light fixtures. The number of light fixtures was
reduced from 18 fixtures to 12 fixtures during the replacement.
Exterior lighting consists of 70W high pressure sodium (HPS) canopy lights, 100W 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.
Emergency egress lights are present throughout the building for safety. The record drawings were used to
provide a count of the number of night lights present. Approximately 20% of the down lights in the
corridors, four fixtures in the gymnasium, and a small number of fixtures in the offices are powered from
the emergency panel and are illuminated 24 hours a day.
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 Building Description
There is one portable located on the Kasuun Elementary School campus. It is used as a classroom space
for one hour approximately three days per week. The portable is also utilized for after school activities
once a week for one hour. Power for this portable is drawn from the main electric breaker at the school
building. The portable was constructed in 1981. The portable building was constructed with 2”x4” wood
stud walls on 16” centers with R)11 fiberglass batt insulation. The exterior face of the wall is T1)11
siding with drywall on the interior. The exterior wall heights are nine feet high to the roof eaves but
extend to 11 feet at the roof peak in the center of the end walls. The portable has 1,170 sf of exterior wall
area.
The portable has an above)grade floor resting on sleepers. Plywood skirting protects the sleepers and floor
construction from the weather. The floor is constructed of plywood flooring resting on 2”x8” wood joists.
It is estimated that the floor has R)19 fiberglass batt insulation. There is approximately 960 sf of floor
area.
The portable is covered by a ventilated cold roof with shingles on top of plywood decking. It is estimated
that the roof is insulated with R)19 fiberglass batts. The portable has 1,100 sf of roof area. This is greater
than the floor area due to sloped roofs in use.
There are two double paned, wood framed windows in the portable with an estimated R)value of R)2.0
per window. The portable has two insulated metal doors with an effective R)value of R)1.7 each. There is
approximately 40 sf of door area and 38 sf of window area.
The portable is heated with five electric resistance perimeter baseboards and an electric unit heater. The
electric baseboard temperature set point for all of the baseboards is manually controlled by dial
thermostat. The unit heater temperature set point is manually controlled by a separate dial thermostat. Due
to the need to keep these buildings moveable and due to combustion safety issues, the ASD states its
desire to keep all portable buildings on electric heat and not utilize natural gas heating at this time.
An overhead electric feeder is routed from the school to a small distribution panel in each of the portable
buildings to distribute power to the electric loads including the unit heater, baseboard heaters, receptacles
and the portable lighting. The lighting in the portables consists of fluorescent T12 light fixtures.
A separate AkWarm model was created to model the portable building. See Appendix E, Energy
Conservation Measures, for the details of each recommended ECM for the portable building.

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 Natural Gas 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 natural
gas 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 surcharges, 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 load operating for one hour
will use 1 kWh of electricity as would ten, 100 watt lamps operating for one hour or one, 100 watt 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 utility measures consumption and bills 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 3. Energy Cost and Consumption Data

The Energy Cost Index (ECI) is derived by dividing the annual cost by the school campus square footage.
The school campus square footage was calculated to be approximately 62,627 square feet. This area
includes a 61,667 sf main building with upper floor and a 960 sf portable building.
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# KES=1 – Replace Refrigerators Older than 5 years Old
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
) ) ) <10 years
Due to recent advances in refrigerators in the last five years, new Energy Star refrigerators are
significantly more efficient than previous models. Replacing existing refrigerators, which are older than
five years old, with new energy star models will typically have paybacks of less than 10 years.
ECM # KES=2– Setback Thermostat: Classrooms, Offices, and Multipurpose Room
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$3,952 $555 91.9 0.14
Currently there is a night setback schedule that lowers building temperatures to 65 deg F during
unoccupied times. However, even greater energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the
classrooms, offices and multipurpose spaces further to 60 deg F 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 reprogram the
night setback. The 60 deg F night setback is feasible but may require that other DDC setpoints be
changed, such as the low temperature alarm. This ECM is a compilation of items 1 and 2 as modeled in
AkWarm which are intended to be implemented concurrently. Details of the individual items are shown in
Appendix D.
ECM # KES=3 – Upgrade Lighting and Controls in the Office Spaces
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$508 $670 11.06 1.3
The office spaces in the school are primarily illuminated by T8 light fixtures with electronic ballasts. The
lighting in several of these offices are currently controlled by occupancy sensors, however one of these
office spaces do not have occupancy sensors for control. It is recommended that one ceiling mounted
occupancy sensor is installed to control approximately (9) 4)lamp fluorescent T8 light fixtures.
Additionally there were (2) 2)lamp incandescent desk lamp observed that should be re)lamped with a
compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). There are one 2)lamp and three 4)lamp fluorescent T8 light fixtures that
are powered by the school’s emergency system; these lights should be switched with the local lighting
circuit.
This description compiles measures 3, 5, 6, and 7 which were individually modeled in AkWarm. See
appendix D for details of individual measures.
Kasuun Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/19/2012 16 AkWarm No. CIRI)ANC)CAEC)12
ECM # KES=4 – Upgrade Storage and Utility Room Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$257 $1,300 2.9 5.1
There are (4) 4' 2)lamp T8 fluorescent light fixtures that are currently being used as night lights in the
custodian, utility and storage rooms and are never switched off. These lights should be re)wired to be
controlled by the local lighting circuit, and have their function as emergency lights replaced by wall
mounted emergency lighting units type.
Though most of the custodian and storage spaces are already controlled by occupancy sensors, we suggest
that the three remaining spaces that use wall switches for control be provided new ceiling mounted
occupancy sensors to switch the lights off while the space is un)occupied.
This description compiles measures 4, 9, 20, 21, and 23 which were individually modeled in AkWarm.
See appendix D for details of individual measures.
ECM # KES=5 – Upgrade Corridor Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$754 $4,900 2.25 6.5
There are approximately (20) 4' 2)lamp T8 fluorescent troffer light fixtures that are currently being used
as night lights in the corridors and are never switched off. This ECM includes re)wiring all of the night
lights to be controlled by local lighting circuits, and have the emergency lighting function replaced by
approximately (20) wall mounted emergency lighting units. It also recommends installing a new
occupancy sensor to control the lighting in corridor A115. Although not modeled due to complex
architectural features, savings would also be enhanced with occupancy sensors for all of the corridor
lighting zones. See items 8, 10 and 11 in Appendix D for further details.
ECM # KES=6 – Replace Lead Boiler with a High Efficiency Condensing Type Boiler
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$10,123 $125,000 1.88 12.35
Significant energy savings can be achieved by replacing boiler B)1 with a new, high efficiency,
condensing type boiler. The remaining existing boilers would operate as back)up boilers for supplemental
heat. New modulating and condensing high efficiency boilers vary their heat output rate to match the
heating needs of the building. This allows the boiler to operate with lower return water temperatures and
reduce boiler on/off cycling to significantly increase the boiler’s efficiency. See item 13 in Appendix D
for more information.
Note: An exhaust stack economizer cannot be used in conjunction with a high efficiency condensing type
boiler. If ECM KES9 is implemented, ECM KES6 cannot be used.
ECM # KES=7 – Install Exhaust Stack Economizer
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,828 $21,000 1.45 11.5
Installing one exhaust stack economizer on the combined exhaust stack of the three existing gas fired
boilers will recover heat from exhaust gases. An exhaust stack economizer utilizes a fan and heat
exchanger to transfer heat from exhaust gases to the hydronic system, increasing the efficiency of the
heating system by approximately 5% or more. This ECM was modeled with a separate AkWarm model
Kasuun Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/19/2012 17 AkWarm No. CIRI)ANC)CAEC)12
and as a result the item is not an additive measure in AkWarm. It is therefore not included in the final cost
savings total in the final AkWarm model in Appendix D.
Note: An exhaust stack economizer cannot be used in conjunction with a high efficiency condensing type
boiler described in ECM KES9. ECM KES9 and ECM KES6 are mutually exclusive and are not
intended to be implemented concurrently.
ECM # KES=8 – Upgrade Exterior Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,910 $25,600 1.09 13.4
The exterior lighting at the site consists of (26) 70W HPS canopy lights, (21) 150W HPS wall packs, (15)
400W HPS pole mounted "shoebox" type area lighters, (4) 400W HPS pole mounted twin head "shoebox"
area lighters, and (4) 400W HPS pole mounted 3)head "shoebox" area lighters. All of the exterior lighting
is controlled by contactors, mounted in the boiler room, which are controlled by a signal from the DDC
system that turns on the lights based on an input from a central photocell. 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 wallpack
and canopy light fixtures with 75W and 35W LED light fixtures, respectively. This assumes the re)use of
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 12 and 14 which were individually modeled in AkWarm. See
appendix D for details of individual measures.
ECM # KES=9 – Perform Air Sealing to Reduce Air Leakage by 20%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,602 $14,000 1.02 8.74
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 through 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. Also, inspect and repair louvers and
dampers within each AHU. To achieve a viable economic benefit, up to $14,000 can be invested and still
achieve an SIR ≥ 1 by reducing air leakage by 20%. See item 12 in Appendix D for more information.

VIII.II Portable Building ECMs
ECM #PB=1 – Setback Thermostat
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$546 $400 16.05 0.73
Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the portable building when
unoccupied. However, the dial thermostat is not programmable, resulting in higher temperatures than
required. A programmable thermostat with separate occupied and unoccupied temperature set points is
recommended for the portable building. Reducing the temperature from 65 deg F to 60 deg F during
unoccupied times will save $546 annually in electricity bills. See item 1 in Appendix E for more
information.
ECM #PB=2 – Add Insulation to Portable Skirting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$771 $1,624 9.13 2.11
The portable has uninsulated 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 2 in Appendix
E for more information.
ECM #PB=3 – Replace Exterior Doors
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$88 $781 2.18 8.9
The 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 3 in Appendix E for more
information.
ECM #PB=4– Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 30%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$113 $950 1.0 8.4
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. See item 4 in Appendix E for more information.

ECM #PB=5 – Replace Lighting in the Portable Building
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$101 $1,800 0.82 17.8
The figures for this ECM are based on the portables existing usage schedule of approximately 4 hours per
week. Based on this schedule, replacing the lighting will not result in an SIR above 1.0. However, if the
portable were to be used as a regular classroom, replacing the existing T12 lighting with T8 fixtures and
installing a new ceiling mounted occupancy sensor for control would save approximately $405 per year
and result in an SIR of 3.8. The installed cost for this ECM would not change from what is listed above.
Refer to item PB)5 in Appendix D 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.
