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 this building occurred on April 23rd, 2012.
The Fairview Community Recreation Center consists of two buildings joined by
an enclosed walkway. The newer building is a two story structure with a
basement. It houses a gymnasium, locker rooms, showers and storage on its
basement floor, a commercial kitchen, several offices, a multi-purpose room and
main lobby on its ground floor and an arts and crafts room, a dance studio,
weight room, and mechanical and fan room on its second floor. The older
building is a two story structure with no basement. It also houses a gymnasium,
locker rooms, showers and a multipurpose room on its first floor and several
offices, and a game and mechanical room on its second floor.
The old building was constructed in 1973. A second story was added in 1985.
The new building was constructed in 1984. No other major modifications are
known to have been made.
Among other considerations before commencing this report, the energy
consumption of each building was examined individually (see Chart 1) to
determine if there was a reason to audit and/or model each building separately.
It was determined that there was not a good reason to separate them and they
were treated operationally as one facility, so they were combined for the
purposes of this audit.
Energy Consumption and Benchmark Data
Combined benchmark utility data for 2009 and 2010 is summarized in Tables 1
and 2 below.
Table 1
2009 2010
Consumption Cost Consumption Cost
Electricity ‐ kWh 409,056 $ 39,909 403,448 $ 43,006
Natural Gas ‐ Therms 34,618 $ 35,838 33,142 $ 30,247
Totals $ 75,747 $ 73,253
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. Comparative values are shown in
Table 2 below.

Evaluation of energy consumption & benchmark data
As observed in Table 1 above, consumption of natural gas (NG) and electricity
decreased slightly, but held fairly consistent through 2009 and 2010. Table 2
shows that the subject building’s energy use per square foot falls between two
very similar-use buildings, the Mt. View and Spenard Recreation Centers.
As is typical for Alaskan buildings, a comparison to similar buildings in the
continental US shows Alaska buildings have a significantly higher EUI – which is
to be expected given the weather differences.
The two Fairview building’s individual energy consumption per square foot, is
shown in Chart 1 below:
Chart 1
The individual consumptions are exactly what would be expected from an old,
more poorly insulated building with a forced air furnace; that is, higher NG
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 8 of 68
consumption than the newer, more efficient , boiler and hydronics-heated
building. Its lower occupancy and usage (than the new building) explains the
slightly lower electrical consumption.
An energy consumption comparison between two similar-use buildings – the
Spenard and Mt. View Rec Centers, and the combined Fairview buildings
follows:
Chart 2
Chart 2 shows the subject building’s gas and electrical EUI compared to the two
other similar use buildings. All three have a combination of offices,
gymnasiums, game, craft and multi-purpose rooms; all three have similar
operating hours, although their occupancy and use rates vary quite a bit.
Having audited all three of these buildings, the auditor’s conclusions, based on
Chart 2, follow:
Natural gas consumption:
The Spenard Rec Center’s NG consumption is an outlier – it is believed that
there are HVAC controls problems that are contributing to the excessive NG
usage – see that audit report for additional details. The Mt. View building does
not utilize boilers and hydronic heating; instead, heat is provided by (12) gas
fired, rooftop furnaces serving (12) building zones, and thermostats are setback
at night and furnaces turned off when the zone is un-occupied. These are
believed to be the reasons for its lower NG consumption.
Electrical consumption:
Based on Chart 2, the subject building’s electrical consumption is higher than
both of the other buildings. The auditor attributes this to two factors:

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 9 of 68
- The lighting in the subject building is almost entirely T12 fixtures with
magnetic ballasts while both of the other buildings (prior to the lighting
upgrade in the Spenard building) utilize recessed plug-in CFL’s and T8
fixtures with magnetic ballasts.
- The HOA switch (see photos in Appendix A) on AHU-1 is on “hand”, which
means that the 20 HP fan motor is running 24/7/365. It is not known if this
was the case during the 2009/2010 benchmark period, if it was, then this is
another contributor to the excessive electrical consumption.
The recommended Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM’s) that follow in this
report, identify ways to bring the subject building’s NG and electric EUI’s closer
to the Mt. View building.
Recommended Energy Efficiency Measures
Various EEM’s have been analyzed for this building to determine if they would
provide energy savings with reasonably good payback periods and to address
the issues mentioned directly above. EEM’s 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
The EEM’s considered for this facility are detailed in the attached AkWarm-C
Detail 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 (See Appendix D-2) 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).
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.
Some of the summary EEM’s below contain individual EEM’s that are grouped
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 10 of 68
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 5 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.) SAUNA CONTROLS
The two sauna’s in this building are on when the building is
operating, which is 70 hours per week; they are estimated to be
consuming electricity for 66% of that time, which is 32,918 KWh, or
$3,950 annually in electricity. It is recommended to install a
temporary occupancy sensor (see Appendix E) to determine the
highest usage periods, then either add a 7-day timer to the sauna
controls, or lock them and have management turn the units on and
off at appropriate times of the day. For purposes of estimating
savings, it is assumed that usage can be reduced by an additional
33% with little disruption, thereby saving $1,720/year. See
Appendix B-3.
Sauna Control EEM:
Estimated cost $ 1,000
Annual Savings $ 1,720
Payback 7 months
B.) REFRIGERATION & REFRIGERATED VENDING MACHINES
There are two refrigerated beverage vending machines, two
freezers and a residential type refrigerator in this building. It is
recommended to replace the two freezers and refrigerator at their
EOL with Energy Star versions and to add a VendingMiser (see
www.vendingmiser.com) to each refrigerated beverage vending
machine. These EEM’s are found in Appendix B-3, 6, 7 & 11.
Combined refrigeration EEM’s:
Estimated cost (incremental difference
for the two freezers & refrigerator, plus
two VendingMisers) $ 825
Annual Savings $ 457
Payback 1.8 years
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 11 of 68
C.) SETBACK THERMOSTATS
It is recommended to replace all of the existing low voltage
adjustable thermostats with 7-day digital programmable
thermostats. All thermostats should be programed with night time
and unoccupied setback temperatures of 55F.
Appendices B-2, 18 and 31 provide detail for this EEM.
Combined Setback Thermostat EEM’s:
Estimated cost (excluding the CO2 sensing
thermostats in “E” below) $ 12,500
Annual Savings $ 3,970
Payback 3.2 years
D.) MOTOR REPLACEMENT WITH PREMIUM EFFICIENCY
Of the five motors in this facility that are 5 HP or larger, only one
(the 5 HP motor in AHU-2) had a nameplate that was accessible to
identify NEMA rated efficiencies. (see Appendix C for motor
schedule). Based on the age of AHU-1, an assumed NEMA
efficiency rating of 91% was used for the calculations in Table 4 in
Appendix D-3. Based on this, both of the motors in AHU-1 and
AHU-2 are recommended to be replaced at their EOL (burnout)
with premium efficiency motors. See Appendix D-3.
Motor replacement EEM:
Estimated cost (incremental difference
for premium versus standard) $ 650
Annual Savings $ 186
Payback 3.5 years
E.) HVAC SYSTEM, SETBACK THERMOSTATS, CARBON
DIOXIDE SENSING & VARIABLE FREQENCY DRIVES
(VFD’s)
Boilers:
Condensing boilers have thermal efficiencies of 94%, and can be
modulated down to 20% as heat loads are reduced. Additionally,
multiple boilers can be connected in series and modulated to stay
within their optimum operating ranges. It is recommended to
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 12 of 68
replace the existing boilers at their EOL, with high efficiency
condensing boilers. Because condensing boilers are not yet
available in the large sizes of the current boilers, four are required
to replace the two existing boilers. Additional plumbing and piping
costs are included in the estimated costs. See Appendix B-15.
VFD’s:
It is recommended to add VFD’s to the 5 HP and 20 HP motors in
AHU-1 and AHU-2. See Appendix D-4 for additional detail on the
energy efficiencies resulting from the use of VFD’s. See Appendix
B-9.
CO2 Sensing Thermostats:
The air handlers are currently controlled by timers. It is
recommended to replace (3) appropriate thermostats in the
building with 7-day programmable versions that have CO2 sensing
capability, and control the building ventilation based on CO2 levels
rather than on a time schedule. The cost for these thermostats
and sensors is estimated to be $2000 each, installed. The annual
savings was calculated by reducing the OSA in AkWarm-C by
20%. See Appendix B-9 for detail and Appendix E for sample
specifications for this type of thermostat and sensor.
HVAC combined EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 58,182
Annual savings $ 11,686
Payback 5 years
F.) DESKTOP COMPUTERS
Desktop PC’s consume between 200 and 300 watts when in use.
Laptops consume between 50 and 100 watts when in use. It is
recommended to replace the 7 desktop PC’s with laptops at their
EOL. The incremental difference in cost is estimated to be $200
each and although the payback is approaching the life expectancy
of a laptop, the recommendation is still made. See Appendix B-19.
Personal Computer EEM:
Estimated cost $ 1,401
Annual savings $ 321
Payback 4.4 years
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 13 of 68
G.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS
With very few exceptions, the lighting fixtures and controls in this
building have not been upgraded. It is recommended to perform a
complete building upgrade, despite the relatively long (9.1 year)
payback. If the extended payback period is unacceptable, an
alternate recommendation would be to forgo upgrading any lighting
in the old building, as its occupancy is considerably less than the
new building (and consequently paybacks are longer since the
lights are not used as much), this alternative is shown in Table 4
below:

$106,999
$12,336 8.7
The full building upgrade recommendation includes the following:
Energy Saver lamps:
At the next building re-lamp, it is recommended to replace all 32
watt T8 lamps with 28 watt energy saver lamps. There is a 2.9%
reduction in light output but a 12% reduction in energy
consumption. Typically the 2.9% reduction is not noticeable and
the sample room light levels measured all had adequate light
levels.
Occupancy Sensors: It is recommended to add occupancy
sensors to all rooms. Occupancy sensors cannot be used with the
existing metal halide (MH) lighting
HID fixtures: There are high pressure sodium (HPS) and MH
exterior fixtures and MH interior fixtures which should be replaced
with LED’s outside and T5 high bay lighting inside.

15, B-17 & 18, B-20 through 30 and B-32 through 34. See
Appendix E for more information on occupancy sensors, and
energy saver 28 watt lamps.
Combined Lighting and Lighting Control EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 142,040
Annual Savings $ 15,501
Payback 9.1 years
A summary of the estimated cost totals and estimated annual savings totals of
the summary EEM’s listed above, is found in Table 5 below, and again at the
end of Appendix B.

Combined total of recommended EEM’s
summarized above:
Estimated total cost $ 216,598
Annual Savings (including
maintenance savings) $ 33,841
Simple payback 6.7 years
Does not include design or construction management costs
In addition to EEM’s, various Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s) are
recommended. ECM’s are policies or procedures to be followed by
management and employees that require no capital outlay. ECMs
recommended for this facility include:
1. Turn 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
and utilize a desk plug load management device similar to the one
in Appendix E to turn off ancillary desk equipment (other than the
computer itself) when the occupant leaves the desk.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 15 of 68
4. Re-configure building occupants and activities to group un-
occupied offices (i.e. no guest, tenant or staff using the space) or
little used spaces, into the same HVAC zone so that zone’s
energy consumption can be set back to minimal levels.
5. Continual re-commissioning: A building is a living mini-ecosystem
and its use changes. Re-evaluate building usage regularly and
confirm that building set points, zones, lighting levels, etc. are
optimized for the current usage and occupancy.
6. Lamp replacement should be a scheduled, preventative
maintenance activity. Re-lamp the entire building or entire usage
zones (a zone of the building that has similar lighting usage, so
lamps have roughly the same lifetime) as part of a scheduled
preventative maintenance routine. This assures all lamps are the
same color temperature (e.g. 2700K, 3000K, etc.) which
enhances occupant comfort and working efficiency. It also
minimizes expense because it is more cost effective to order large
quantities of the same lamp, and more labor efficient to dedicate
maintenance staff to a single re-lamp activity in a building zone,
rather than replace individual lamps as they fail.
7. Replace HVAC filters regularly. Maintain optimal operation of all
dampers, actuators, valves and other HVAC components.

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
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 17 of 68
suppliers. Brown Electric and ESI Lighting (www.esilighting.com) were
consulted for some of the lighting and lighting controls retrofit and/or
replacement costs. 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 annual savings multiplied by the lifetime of the improvement, divided by
the initial installed cost. SIR’s greater than 1.0 indicate a positive lifetime
ROI.
The life-time for each EEM is entered into AkWarm-C; it is estimated based
on the typical life of the equipment being replaced or altered.
d. Limitations of the Study: All results are dependent on the quality of input
data provided, and may only act as an approximation. Most input data such
as building and equipment usage, occupancy hours and numbers, building
and HVAC operating hours, etc. was provided to the auditor by on site
personnel.
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 April 23rd, 2012.
This facility consists of two buildings joined by an enclosed walkway. The older,
smaller building is a two story structure totaling 5,838 square feet, as calculated
from plans. The first floor consists of a 1,920 square foot gymnasium. The
balance of the building’s 3,918 square feet include a multipurpose room, games
room, and various offices and storage rooms. The newer, larger building is a
two story structure with a basement, totaling 22,364 square feet, including the
enclosed walkway connecting the buildings. The basement of the new building
includes a 6,966 square foot gymnasium, locker rooms, showers and storage.
The 6,063 square foot ground floor has a multipurpose room, offices a small
commercial kitchen and toilet rooms. The 6,029 square foot second story has
dance, arts & crafts, exercise and mechanical rooms.
The facility has a high occupancy throughput, averaging 500-600 people per
day, with an estimated average stay of 1.5 hours.
The old building is constructed on a 4” concrete slab, poured on grade. Its first
floor walls are 8” concrete masonry units (CMU’s), covered on the exterior with
1-1/2” of rigid insulation, sheathing and wood siding. Second story walls are
2”x6” wood studs and R-21 batt. Interior CMU walls are painted, while the stud
walls and ceilings are finished with gypsum. The roof is supported by fabricated
trusses, has 4” of rigid insulation covered with up to 3-1/2” of Fesco Board
(insulated panels) and a membrane roof. Composite insulation value, as
calculated by AkWarm-C is R-34.3. Windows are double pane glass in wood
frames, and are in poor condition, especially the walkway windows.
The new building is also constructed on a 4” slab poured on grade. The
basement walls are cast concrete of varying thickness. The gymnasium walls
above the basement level are 2”x8” or 2”x12” wood studs with R-25 or R-30 batt,
while the balance of the building’s walls are 2”x6” wood studs and R-19 batt.
The roof is supported by wood trusses, has 4” of rigid insulation and a
membrane. It’s composite insulation value is R-23.2. All interior walls are
finished with gypsum. Windows are double pane glass in aluminum frames and
are in good condition.
Overall, the building is in average to below average condition.
Building details are as follows:
a. Heating, Cooling, Ventilation and Controls: Heat is
provided in the new building by two cast iron, 80% efficient,
gas fired boilers - apparently original equipment, and
therefore approaching their EOL. The building is supplied
with heat by hydronic baseboard radiant heaters, unit and
cabinet unit heaters, AHU coils and terminal re-heat coils.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 20 of 68
Heat is provide in the old building by a gas fired, forced air
furnace.
In both buildings, heat and terminal re-heat is controlled by
local, low voltage, adjustable thermostats. The AHU’s are
controlled by timers as well as the local thermostats.
Actuators and sensors are a combination of pneumatic and
electronic.
Ventilation is provided in the new building by two constant
volume AHU’s and three constant volume supply fans, all with
heating coils. There is no ventilation in the old building other
than the forced air furnace.
There is no cooling in either building.
b. Appliances: There are two refrigerated beverage vending
machines, a small chest and larger upright freezer, a
commercial reach-in refrigerator and a residential type
refrigerator. There are two 4-burner, commercial gas
range/oven combinations with standing pilot lights on the
burners and a gas fired grill/oven. There is a commercial
dishwasher and several other food preparation appliances.
There are two electric saunas with 1-hour timers in use in the
locker rooms. This building has 7 PC’s in use at various times
of day.
c. Plumbing Fixtures: This building contains a total of (16)
toilets, (7) stainless steel urinals, (11) lavatory sinks and (12)
showers. All have manual valves except (7) of the lavatory
faucets. The toilets consume 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf), the
urinals are estimated to consume 1.5 gpf. See Appendix D-1
for EEM recommendations.
d. Domestic Hot Water: Hot water for sinks, showers and the
kitchen is provided by three indirect, 80 gallon hot water
generators. There is an additional electric, hot water booster
located in the kitchen, serving the dishwasher.
e. Interior Lighting & Controls: As previously mentioned, the
lighting in these buildings has not been upgraded. Room
lighting in both buildings generally consists of T12-40W
fixtures with a mixture of magnetic and electronic ballasts and
CFL or mixed CFL & incandescent bulbs in recessed can
lighting, while the gym lighting in both buildings are MH
surface mounted or pendant fixtures. There are no occupancy
sensors in the building.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 21 of 68
Appendix B details the recommendation of completion of the
lighting upgrade.
f. Exterior Lighting: Exterior lighting consists of MH wall
packs, pole lights and soffit lights.
g. Building Shell: The building shell is described earlier; it
appears to be in average to below average condition inside
and outside.
h. Motors: There are 5 large (5 HP or larger) motors in use in
this building. They are listed in Appendix C and were
considered for replacement with premium efficiency motors.
The two elevator motors have insufficient operating hours to
justify replacement; see Appendix D-3.
5. Historic Energy Consumption: Energy consumption is modeled within the
AkWarm-C program. The program typically analyzes twelve months of data.
Two years’ worth of natural gas and electricity consumption were averaged then
input into AKWarm-C. This monthly data is found in Appendix F.
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
$2.64/SF, the ECI for two very similar buildings, the Spenard Rec Center and
the Mt. View Rec Center, are $2.99 and $1.49 respectively.
The energy use index (EUI) is the total annual average electrical and heating
energy consumption expressed in thousands of BTU/SF. The average of the
2009 and 2010 EUI for this building is 169 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010
EUI for the Spenard Rec Center is 193 kBTU/SF and 90 kBTU/SF for the Mt.
View Recreation Center. The average for “Places of Public Assembly” buildings
across the US is 89-102 kBTU/SF as logged by the US Energy Information
Administration. This source data can be viewed at:
www.eia.gov/emeu/efficiency/cbecstrends/cbecs_tables_list.htm.
6. Interactive Effects of Projects: The AkWarm-C program calculates savings
assuming that all recommended EEM are implemented in the order shown in
Appendix B. Appendix D EEM’s are not included in the AkWarm-C model
unless referred to in the Appendix B EEM as “see also Appendix D-X”; in these
cases, the EEM is included in the AkWarm-C calculations. If some EEMs are
not implemented, savings for the remaining EEMs will be affected, in some
cases positively, and in others, negatively.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SPENARD RECREATION CENTER
June 17, 2012 Page 22 of 68
In general, all projects were evaluated sequentially so that energy savings
associated with one EEM would not be attributed to another EEM as well. By
modeling the recommended projects sequentially, the analysis accounts for
interactive effects between the EEMs and does 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 resulting from reductions in building
electrical consumption are included in the lighting 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
Appendix D-1: Plumbing fixtures: The urinals and toilets in this building are not standard
commercial versions, therefore retrofit hardware that can be installed without altering plumbing
may not be available. Given this, it is normally recommended to replace all urinals with ultra
low flow models. The lavatory faucets and urinals should be retrofitted with proximity sensing
on/off controls. All toilets in this building have manual valves, they should have 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 ultra low flow urinal (1 pint to ½ gallon per flush) can save up to 66%
of water used, and typically pays back within 3 years, depending on usage. 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 or valve 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.

June 17, 2012 Page 42 of 68
Appendix D-2: Additional EEM’S considered but not recommended
De-Stratification Fans: There was insufficient temperature difference between the 6’ level and
the gymnasium ceiling, so there would be little or no advantage resulting from the installation of
de-stratification fans.
Boiler replacement now, with higher efficiency models: AkWarm-C calculates an annual
savings of $2,596 by replacing the two existing boilers with four, 94% efficient, modulating,
condensing boilers (the largest size is 750 MBH, this building would need four boilers of this
size). Estimated cost to replace the two boilers now is $110,000, so the payback is 35 years
and the life of a condensing boiler is only 15-20 years – therefore this is not recommended.
However, replacement of the existing boilers at their EOL with condensing boilers is
recommended. This is presented in Appendix B-15 and includes an anticipated maintenance
savings of $2000/year.

Appendix D-3: Premium Efficiency Motor upgrades
It is generally recommended that all standard efficiency 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 two instances in this building of cost effective motor
replacement with premium efficiency motors at burn out, there are no instances of cost effective
replacement prior to burnout.

Appendix D-4: Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s)
If outfitted with a VFD and a programmable input device (PID) which responds to a process
parameter such as duct pressure or temperature for an AHU or suction or discharge pressure on
a pump, 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. By necessity, fan motors and pumps have to be sized for the worst case load
scenario, but under normal operating conditions (80-90% of the time), need only be operating at
30%-70% of their full load. VFD’s are recommended for larger, 3-phase motors that are under
varying load and duty cycles, such as air handlers, glycol circulation pumps and reciprocating
compressor motors.
The 5 HP fan motors in AHU-2 and F-3 and the 20 HP fan motor in AHU-1, all in the new
building, are recommended to be retro-fitted with VFD’s.
These motor loads and energy consumption were evaluated using software called, “Energy
Predictor”, provided by Yaskawa, a manufacturer of VFD’s; excerpts from the detailed software
reports are found below.
It was assumed that the 5 HP motor in AHU-2 had been replaced with premium efficiency
versions, per Appendix D-3 above, before the addition of VFD’s – although there is not a very
significant difference in savings with the older, standard efficiency motor. A 69% reduction in
electrical consumption is predicted by the Yaskawa software for each of these motors; this figure
were input into AkWarm-C as a reduction in power consumption in the ventilation section; the
resulting savings are included in Appendix B-10. Note that the percentage reduction in
consumption predicted by the Yaskawa software was used in AkWarm-C, rather than the actual
KWh reduction energy reduction.
Overstated savings:
It is important to note that if other EEM’s are also incorporated, these savings may be 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.
The Yaskawa reports follow:

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.
Daylight sensors can dim a light based on the level of ambient light in a room. Daylight
sensors can be switch, ceiling, wall or fixture mounted and can control a row of fixtures, an entire
room, or a single fixture.
Occupancy and daylight sensors can reduce power consumption by 25-60%. Paybacks on
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, alarm or other
control systems. Timers, occupancy and daylight sensing can be integrated. Additionally, they
can be easily re-configured as a building’s usage or occupancy pattern changes.
Sample products recommended in this report, in order of the cut-sheets that follow:
- Fixture mounted occupancy sensor suitable for high bay lighting, can
control individual fixtures or a row or bank of fixtures. Typical product
cost $60 ea.
- T8-28 watt energy saver lamp; this lamp, when replacing a standard T8-
32 watt lamp, reduces light output by 2.9% (which is not noticeable in
most environments) and saves 12% in energy consumption. They are
compatible with most existing instant start and programmed start
electronic T8 ballasts. Typical product cost $150/case of 40 lamps.
- Temporary occupancy sensing data logger. Typically used to determine
possible savings resulting from the addition of occupancy sensors, also
can be used for logging any room occupancy. Typical product cost $300
each.
