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.

Executive Summary Building Owner: Municipality of Anchorage 3640 East Tudor Anchorage, AK 99507 Building contact: Jeff Matthis Pool Manager 907-343-4163 Alaska Housing Finance Corporation P.O. Box 10120 Anchorage, AK 99510-1020 Contact: Rebekah Luhrs Energy Specialist 907-330-8141 rluhrs@ahfc.us 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 March 10th, 2012. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 6 of 59 This building houses the Service High School pool, constructed adjacent to the Service High School in 1982. In 1998 the roof was renovated, modifying the cold roof to a cold attic on the sloped portions, in an attempt to correct condensation and corrosion issues. In 2001 energy metering was added in anticipation of pool management transfer to the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), and in 2009 the building was closed and a pool upgrade was implemented including a new roof and lighting upgrade to T5 fixtures in the natatorium. The interior and exterior of this building are in very good condition. Energy Consumption and Benchmark Data This building, unlike the other MOA pools, has its own boilers. It is sub-metered from the adjacent school for natural gas and electricity consumption and the MOA is billed for monthly consumption. This monthly consumption and billing history was provided to the auditor and was used as benchmark data; it can be found in Appendix F. 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 449,347  $     44,945  601,730  $    44,493   Natural Gas ‐ CCF 43,406  $     44,287  42,252  $    36,322   Totals    $     89,232       $    80,815   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. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 7 of 59 Table 2 – 2009 & 2010 Average EUI and ECI    Subject  Building  Bartlett  Pool  West High  Pool  Continental US  Average**  Energy Use Index (EUI) ‐  kBTU/SF 348 310 378 89‐102  Energy Cost Index (ECI) ‐  $/SF $4.87  $4.84  $4.44  ‐  ** Pools are not tracked in the US Energy Administration database, these figures are for “Places of Public Assembly”, which is the most relevant category tracked by the USEA. As observed in Table 1 above, electricity usage between 2009 and 2010 increased by 33%, while the natural gas consumption was relatively unchanged. This increased electrical consumption in 2010 (also observed in the monthly consumption graphs found in Appendix F) is presumed to be a result of the building closure during the summer months of 2009 while the pool, lighting and roof upgrades were implemented. Chart 1 below shows the subject building’s gas and electrical EUI compared to similar use buildings in the area. Both the subject building and the Bartlett Pool are standalone buildings, while the West High Pool is a part of the high school (with only one exterior wall), hence the lower Gas (heating) EUI. Electrical consumption is on par with the Bartlett pool and both are substantially lower than the West High pool. This is attributed primarily to West High’s larger pool, water slide and exterior lighting (Service Pool building has only three small soffits lights on its exterior). 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Subject Building Bartlett Pool West High Pool Natural Gas EUI Electrical EUI ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 8 of 59 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 may have been considered but are not 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 thermometers - 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 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.) and are prioritized 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.) SETBACK THERMOSTATS The 24 volt, electronic HVAC control system in this building was originally set up with a 7-day timer to reduce night time temperatures in rooms other than the natatorium, from 80F to 60F. It does not appear that the natatorium was programmed with, or is currently using night time setbacks. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 9 of 59 It is recommended in item D below to add a DDC controls system. This EEM further recommends programming the DDC system (or the current system, if it has this capability) to utilize night time setbacks of 55F for all rooms including the natatorium. It is also recommended to replace the wall thermostats controlling the unit heaters (UH’s) and cabinet unit heaters (CUH’s) in the stairwells and vestibules with programmable thermostats with a 55F night time setback temperature. See Appendix D-5 for additional detail and discussion regarding humidity control during night time setbacks. Appendix B-1 & B-3 are summed in this EEM. Combined Setback Thermostat EEM’s: Estimated cost (after DDC controls installed) $ 1,200 Annual Savings $ 2,406 Payback 6 months B.) DE-STRATIFICATION FANS In the natatorium, there was a measured temperature differential between the thermostat sensors and the ceiling of 5F. Although de-stratification fans will increase pool evaporation when uncovered, it is still recommended to add them to the pool area. See Appendix D-2 for more detail. The interaction of de- stratification fans, humidity, space heating and pool heating are discussed in Appendix D-5. De-Stratification Fan EEM: Estimated cost $ 4,800 Annual Savings $ 1,902 Payback 2.5 years C.) REFRIGERATION AND REFRIGERATED VENDING MACHINES There is one full size, residential type refrigerator in this building, it appears to be 10-15 years old, which means an Energy Star model will be 30-50% more efficient. It is recommended to replace this refrigerator at EOL with an Energy Star version. 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 ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 10 of 59 “Vending Miser” typically saves 46% in energy consumption while still maintaining cold beverages. See Appendix E and Appendix B- 4 and B-10. Estimated incremental cost difference $ 475 Annual Savings $ 164 Payback 2.9 years D.) POOL COVER Evaporating water from a pool’s surface and the pool deck robs heat from the pool water and deck, creating a heat load on the boiler dedicated to pool heating in this building. It is recommended to cover the pool during the 108 hrs/wk when it is not in use. Manually operated, floating or vinyl pool covers are estimated to cost $30,000 and provide a payback of 3.3 years. See Appendix B-6 and D-4 for additional detail. The interaction of pool covers, humidity, space heating and pool heating are discussed in Appendix D-5. Pool Cover EEM: Estimated cost $36,000 Annual Savings $ 9,041 Payback 4 years E.) HVAC SYSTEM It is recommended to perform a systems level engineering evaluation of the HVAC, HVAC controls, pool heating and humidity aspects of this building and add a retrofitted DDC control system to the building, as well as add variable frequency drives (VFD’s) to the 25 HP supply and the 15 HP return air motors in the large, east air handler unit (AHU-1). Some engineering evaluation may have already been performed as part of the 2008 renovation, but there are greater savings to be obtained through more refined HVAC management. The longer term recommendations resulting from the engineering would be folded into MOA’s 5-10 year facility strategy, presumed to already exist and the shorter term recommendations incorporated using the REALS loan fund. Integration and optimization of the HVAC systems addressing space heating, pool water heating, humidity, temperature and required air changes for occupant health is the objective of this ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 11 of 59 engineering evaluation. See Appendix D-5, D-6 and B-6 for additional detail. HVAC System combined EEM’s: Estimated cost $62,083 Annual savings $14,132 Payback 4.4 years F.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS The 2009 lighting upgrade only included the natatorium. It is recommended to complete the upgrade in all rooms and spaces – even though the paybacks on certain individual spaces are unjustifiably long. This EEM summarizes Appendix B-2, B-7 through 9 and B11 through 13. See Appendix E for more information on occupancy sensors. Combined Lighting Control EEM’s: Estimated cost $ 37,124 Annual Savings $ 8,713 Payback 5.7 years G.) MOTOR REPLACEMENTS There are three motors in this building that are not premium efficiency and are operating a sufficient number of hours to justify immediate replacement with premium efficiency models. All motors in this building, 5 HP and greater, are listed in Appendix D- 3. There is one additional motor that should be replaced with a premium efficiency version at it’s EOL. Motor replacement EEM: Estimated cost to replace 3 motors $ 3,100 Annual Savings $ 534 Payback 5.8 years ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 12 of 59 A summary of the estimated cost totals and estimated annual savings totals of the eight (A. through H.) summary EEM’s listed above, is found in Table 3 below, and again at the end of Appendix B. Table 3 Combined total of recommended EEM’s  summarized above:  Estimated total cost  $         144,782  Annual Savings  $           36,892  Simple payback      3.9 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. 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.

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. Brown Electric, Haakensen Electric, Proctor Sales, Pioneer Door, ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 14 of 59 and J.P. Sheldon, all in Anchorage, were consulted for some of the lighting, boiler, overhead door and air handling (respectively) 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.

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 16 of 59 4. Building Description and Function: The site visit and survey of subject building occurred on March 10th, 2012, the ambient outside temperature was 27F. The building’s first floor consists of the main pool or “deck” level which includes the high bay natatorium, locker rooms, a reception office, several staff offices, storage and the pool filter room. There are two small second floor rooms, one contains the (3) boilers and a small AHU (SF-2), the other contains the large AHU (AHU-1) and dehumidifier (DH). The natatorium has approximately 11,120 square feet, while the offices, lockers and other rooms add 4765 square feet and the second floor rooms add 1584 square feet, for a total building size of 17,469 square feet. These figures were calculated from plans. This building is constructed on a 4” reinforced concrete slab poured on grade. The building structure consists of 8” concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls supporting steel roof trusses and metal roof decking with 6” of rigid foam insulation covered with 2” “lightguard” insulated ballast. Interior walls are painted CMU. Exterior walls have 6” metal stud furring on the outside, filled with rigid foam insulation, most of which (excepting a small “belt band”) is are finished with a 2” decorative, structural insulated panel. Composite insulation values, as calculated by AkWarm-C are: R-43 roof, R-27 walls R-6.7 floor perimeter and R- 35 floor center. The only windows in this building are in the main entry and they are in very good condition, aluminum frame and double pane. Building details are as follows: a. Heating System: Room heat is provided by (2) gas fired Burnham cast iron sectional boilers, and pool water heating is provided by a third, similar, smaller boiler. Heat is delivered by hydronic finned tube baseboard radiators, cabinet and unit heaters, the (2) air handlers and a heating ventilator in the main lobby. Rooms with hydronic baseboards and heated ventilation air have sensors providing temperature feedback to the control system which is controlling zone valves for the hydronics and/or air flow via dampers. End effectors are pneumatic actuators. Fans are not variable speed, and there does not appear to be variable air volume units in any rooms. Spaces with cabinet or unit heaters have integral wall mounted thermostats controlling the fan, the glycol is running wild (i.e. no fluid control valve). Energy Recovery and de-Humidification: There is a heat recovery coil (HRC) in AHU-1, there does not appear to be ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 17 of 59 any other heat recovery. A small, desiccant type dehumidifier (6.6 lbs/hr) with an electric re-activation heater is located in the second floor fan room. It appears to be controlled by a humidistat and its process outflow is ducted to the RA duct of AHU-1. The sequence of operations listed in building plans have AHU-1 set to a minimum 10% OSA when running and SF-2 at 47% OSA when running. OSA is increased if inside relative humidity exceeds 60%. It is not clear how this sequence was altered when the dehumidifier was added in 2008. b. Ventilation: Ventilation and make up air is provided by two AHU’s, 5 exhaust fans and one ventilator. c. Appliances: There is one residential type refrigerator in this building. There are also a microwave and coffee maker on the premises. This building has 2 PC’s in use; it is generally recommended to replace desktop PC’s with laptops (and secondary monitors as desired) at EOL. d. Plumbing Fixtures: This building contains a total of (6) toilets, (3) urinals, (5) lavatory sinks with proximity sensing valves and (1) with a manual valve, and (12) showers all with manual valves. The toilets and urinals are manually operated and appear to be post-1992, so consume 1.6 gpf (toilets) and 1 gpf (urinals) and 2.6 gpm (shower heads). See Appendix D-1 for EEM recommendations. e. Domestic Hot Water: Hot water for sinks and showers is provided by two indirect, 80 gallon hot water generators supplied with heat from boiler hydronics. f. Interior Lighting & Controls: The natatorium lighting in this building was upgraded to T5, high output, high bay fixtures in 2009. No other building lighting appears to have been upgraded. There are no occupancy sensors in use. Appendix B details completion of a full lighting upgrade. See Appendix E for additional information on occupancy sensors. All exit signs in the building are either LED, unlit or self luminous g. Exterior Lighting: There are three soffit lights on the exterior of this building; they appear to use 50 watt high pressure sodium bulbs. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 18 of 59 h. Building Shell: The building shell is described earlier; it appears to be in good condition, inside and out. i. Motors: There are 7 large (5 HP or larger) motors in use in this building. They are listed and considered for replacement with premium efficiency motors in Appendix D-3. j. Pool water filtering: This pool uses Diatomaceous Earth as a filter medium, utilizing a 20 HP filter pump and 7.5 HP “trash” pump (used to backwash the filter periodically). ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 19 of 59 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 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 $4.87/SF, the ECI for two similar buildings, the Bartlett High and West High pools, are $4.84 and $4.44 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 348 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010 EUI for the Bartlett High School pool is 310 kBTU/SF and 378 kBTU/SF for the West High School pool. The average for Schools (pools 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: 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. If some EEMs are not implemented, savings for the remaining EEMs will be affected, in some cases positively, and in others, negatively. 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 ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 20 of 59 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.

Page 34 of 59 Appendix D Additional, Building-Specific EEM details Appendix 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 SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 35 of 59 Appendix D-2: De-Stratification Fans: The high bay, natatorium (30’ ceilings) in this building makes up approximately 65% of the total square footage and is estimated to consume approximately 65% of the total heating costs, after pool heating is subtracted. This is $11,889/year. The measured temperature differential between the thermostats and the ceiling was 5F. Per the chart below, anticipated savings by adding de-stratification fans should be 16%. This results in an annual savings of $1,902. There will be some reduction in this savings due to the slightly higher evaporation rate resulting from added air movement. Estimated cost to install a de- strat fan over the pool is $1200 each; assuming 4 fans are appropriate (number, location and size of fans must be determined by an engineer or fan vendor), total costs are $4,800 and payback is 2.5 years. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 36 of 59 Appendix D-3: Motor replacements: It is generally recommended that all motors, 5HP or larger, operating for 1500 hrs or longer at continuous speed, be replaced at EOL with premium efficiency motors. Motors operating for 5000 hours or more can usually be replaced with premium efficiency motors prior to burn out, with a justifiable payback of less than 7 years. 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 three instances in this building of cost effective motor replacement with premium efficiency motors, prior to burn out and one more that should be replaced with a premium efficiency motor at EOL.

The pool water provides this heat, so it cools as water evaporates from the water surface and the pool deck. Calculations estimate that 7040 gallons/day will evaporate from this pool, creating an evaporative heat load (to maintain pool water temperature) of 228,000 BTU/hr or 2,004 MMBTU per year. This translates to $17,236/year in heating costs. If a pool cover were installed during pool non-occupancy, it would save $9,041/year (per AkWarm-C calculations, Appendix B-5, using a 50% reduction in evaporative heat load). Estimated cost for a vinyl or floating pool cover is $30,000 and payback is 3.5 years. There are also powered pool covers that are closed or opened using motors and cables or tracks. Estimated cost of purchase and installation of a powered pool cover is $120,000, payback is 14 years and therefore not recommended. See Appendix E for additional detail on pool covers. Evaporated water also increases the moisture content of the air in the natatorium, forcing the dehumidifier to work, and/or the HVAC system to continuously exhaust moisture laden air, and heat fresh air. See D-5 below for further discussion regarding the interaction between evaporation and humidification. See Appendix B-6 for savings and cost estimates. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 38 of 59 Appendix D-5: Dehumidification, ventilation and space heating: Space heating, ventilation, pool heating and humidity management are four HVAC factors tightly tied together in a natatorium. Ideally, they are managed in an integrated fashion, so as to maximize energy efficiency. In this building this does not appear to be the case. In order to manage these factors in an integrated manner, it is recommended to add a DDC control system. Humidity management: Condensation seems to have been a recurring problem in this building, and a leading contributor to two roof’s in less than 20 years. Condensation occurs when the air temperature decreases sufficiently that it can no longer hold its moisture in suspension. The moisture then deposits on surfaces, like “dew” on the ground in evenings. The term “dew point” refers to the temperature at which the air can no longer hold, and therefore deposits its moisture. Direct condensation factors: Dew point depends primarily on the moisture content of the air, called “relative humidity” (RH) and the air temperature. When the original building HVAC was designed, engineers utilized OSA to manage inside RH by modulating RA and OSA dampers to increase OSA when humidity was >60%. In 2008 a dehumidifier was added, allowing the building operator to control humidity directly, rather than by managing OSA. It is recommended to monitor dew point rather than humidity by using a dew point sensor (see Appendix E for sample). When the natatorium inside temperature is 80F, the dew point temperature can be allowed as high as 75F with no condensation, this is an RH of 85%. The RH is being held at 60%, per current HVAC controls, this results in a dew point is 60F. If the dew point was allowed to rise to 75F, the RH would be 85% with no condensation. It is estimated that the outside RH in Anchorage is >60% for most of the year (see Chart 2 below) and rarely above 85%, therefore there is a large potential savings by managing to dew point rather than RH. Chart 2 Source: NOAA National Data Center website 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Average Humidity Anchorage, AK ‐morning Average Humidity… ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 39 of 59 By managing the natatorium’s air moisture content via a dew point sensor, the dehumidifier’s use would probably be limited to removing moisture during the night time setback. Indirect condensation factors: Pool covers (see Appendix D-4) inhibit condensation by reducing the amount of moisture evaporating into the air from the water’s surface. They further reduce condensation indirectly by reducing the water cooling action resulting from evaporation, maintaining a higher room temperature with less heating, and thereby allowing a higher dew point without condensation. In the AkWarm-C model for this building, OSA settings of 25% for AHU-1 and 50% for SF-2 were used based on the sequence of operations found in plans, and in order to reconcile the model’s predicted consumption with actual consumption. Code requirements for ventilation in a pool translate to an approximate 10-15% OSA setting. It is recommended to reduce OSA to a figure closer to code minimums, estimated to be 10-15% OSA. It is recommended to implement night time temperature setbacks of 55F in all rooms including the natatorium. The DDC system will have to monitor day time inside and outside humidity levels and temperatures, calculate dew points, and consider the 6 lb/hr maximum water removal capacity of the dehumidifier, and the pool cover per D-4 above should be implemented. If there is too much moisture in the day time air to allow a night time setback of 55F in the natatorium (due to the DH’s limited capacity), the DDC system may have to run the DH during the day, or increase the night time setback higher than 55F. The calculated savings from this EEM assumes D-4 (Pool cover) above has been implemented. Estimated cost and annual savings to implement these four EEM’s are all included in Appendix B-7. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA SERVICE HIGH SCHOOL POOL June 7, 2012 Page 40 of 59 Appendix D-6: Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) on AHU fan motors (included in Appendix B-7): 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. 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 and reciprocating compressor motors. The 25 HP supply fan and 15 HP return air fan motors in AHU-1 in this building are recommended to be retro-fitted with VFD’s. These motor loads and 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. A 68% reduction in electrical consumption is predicted by the Yaskawa software; this figure was input into AkWarm-C as a reduction in power consumption and is included in Appendix B-7. It is important to note that if other EEM’s are also incorporated, these savings will 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.

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.
