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 24th, 2012.
The Transit Administration building is a four-story structure housing on its first
three floors, offices, an exercise and break room, small kitchenette, locker
rooms and storage. Its fourth floor, or penthouse, houses the boiler, air handlers
and chiller.
The original building was constructed in 1984 using similar materials and
exterior finishes as the adjacent transit maintenance and bus warm storage
buildings. An HVAC mechanical upgrade was performed in 1994, computer
server room cooling was added in 2004 and 1997 and the roof was replaced in
2010. No other known, major modifications have been made since then.
Energy Consumption and Benchmark Data
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 389,600 $ 48,385 410,280 $ 41,521
Natural Gas ‐ Therms 24,775 $ 25,915 22,127 $ 19,149
Totals $ 74,300 $ 60,670
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) decreased by
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 7 of 54
10% and consumption of electricity increased by 5% from 2009 to 2010.
Assuming the building’s HVAC operating conditions remained the same from
2009 to 2010 (which is questionable), the decreased NG consumption would
have to be identified as weather related. The increase is electrical consumption
is a result of the noticeable reduction in KWh usage in the winter and spring of
2009 (see monthly consumption graph in Appendix F). It was not clear to the
auditor or on site personnel what caused this reduction, although the auditor’s
best guess is that it is related to higher usage of the building’s air conditioning.
Two similar-use comparison buildings were chosen in Table 2. The table shows
that the subject building’s energy use per square foot falls slightly above the
APD headquarters and 15% below the APD training facility’s EUI. The ECI’s are
not in line with the EUI’s because of the much higher cost per BTU of electricity
versus NG. See Chart 1 below for additional information on this point.
As is typical for Alaskan buildings, a comparison to similar buildings in the
continental US shows Alaska buildings have a much higher EUI – which is to be
expected given the weather differences.
A deeper analysis of the energy consumption of these three buildings follows:
Chart 1
Chart 1 above shows the subject building’s gas and electrical EUI compared to
the two other similar use buildings.

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 8 of 54
Natural gas consumption:
All three of the buildings have a combination of offices, kitchenette’s and break
rooms. The auditor audited all three of these buildings, and having done so,
believes that APD Training facility’s higher NG consumption results from two
factors: the firing range’s high exhaust rate and subsequent make-up air
heating, and HVAC settings that are not optimized. This second point is also
contributing to the subject building’s higher (than APD Headquarters) NG
consumption..
Electrical consumption:
Based on Chart 1, the subject building’s electrical consumption is higher than
expected, especially considering building occupancy. The subject building’s
occupancy is 1.3 people per 1000 square feet while both of the other buildings
carry 2.6 people per 1000 square feet. The APD Training facility’s excessive
electrical consumption is a result of its co-tenant’s (Management Information
Systems Data Center - MISD) large computer server bank and related large
tonnage of required cooling. The auditor believes HVAC, probably cooling, is
the cause of the subject building’s higher than expected electrical consumption.
Recommended Energy Efficiency Measures
Various Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) have been analyzed for this
building to determine if they would provide energy savings with reasonably good
payback periods. EEMs are recommended for reasons including:
1.) they have a reasonably good payback period
2.) for code compliance
3.) end of life (EOL) replacement
4.) reasons pertaining to efficient building management
strategy, operations, maintenance and/or safety
All the EEMs considered for this facility are detailed in the attached AkWarm-C
Energy Audit Report in Appendix B and in Appendix D. Each EEM includes
payback times, estimated installation costs and estimated energy savings.
The summary EEM’s that follow are the only EEM’s that are recommended
for this building. Others have been considered but are not deemed to be
justified or cost effective. The recommended EEM’s were selected based on
consideration from three perspectives: overall efficiency of building
management, reduction in energy consumption and return on investment (ROI).
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
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 9 of 54
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.). They are prioritized as a group, with the highest ROI
(shortest payback) listed first. Table 3 at the end of this section summarizes
these EEM’s and Appendix B (the AkWarm-C detailed report) and Appendix D
provide additional detail pertaining to each individual recommendation.
A.) SETBACK THERMOSTATS
It is generally assumed when a building has an electronic HVAC
control system as does this building, that it should be programmed
with night time and unoccupied temperature setbacks. This is
frequently not the case and there efficiencies to be gained. It is
recommended to confirm this, and adjust the DDC programming to
the current building’s usage and occupancy. The cost of this
evaluation is included in the re-commissioning EEM in “C” below
and in Appendix B-4.
It is also recommended to replace all existing, local, low voltage
adjustable thermostats controlling the unit heaters (UH’s) and
cabinet unit heaters (CUH’s) with programmable digital models,
and program them with night time setback temperatures. The cost
for the thermostat upgrade is below.
Appendices B-1 and B-19 provide detail for this EEM.
Combined Setback Thermostat EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 2,600
Annual Savings $ 3,585
Payback 9 months
B.) REFRIGERATION & REFRIGERATED VENDING MACHINES
There are three older, full size residential type refrigerators and
three refrigerated beverage vending machines in this building. It is
recommended to replace the full size refrigerators at their EOL
with Energy Star versions, and to add VendingMisers (see
www.vendingmiser.com) to each refrigerated beverage vending
machine. These EEM’s are found in Appendix B-5 & B-8.
Combined refrigeration EEM’s:
Estimated cost (incremental difference
for each refrigerator + VendingMiser) $ 975
Annual Savings $ 925
Payback 1 year
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 10 of 54
C.) HVAC SYSTEM
It is recommended to re-commission the HVAC system in this
building. The building’s high NG EUI, the observed 100% open
outside air (OSA) dampers on AHU3-1 and the 10% increase in
electrical consumption during the winter and spring of 2010 all
indicate that the HVAC controls are not optimized for this building’s
current occupancy and use.
Furthermore, it is recommended to add Variable Frequency Drives
(VFD’s) to the 20 HP fan motor in AHU3-1, the 5 HP fan motor in
RF3-1.
See Appendix D-2 for additional detail on VFD’s, and appendix B-4
for more detail on cost and savings.
HVAC VFD EEM:
Estimated cost $ 20,508
Annual savings $ 12,703
Payback 1.6 years
D.) DESKTOP COMPUTERS
Desktop PC’s with a single LCD monitor consume between 200
and 300 watts when in use. An additional monitor, depending on it
age, consumes an additional 30-50 watts. Laptops consume
between 50 and 100 watts when in use, and their power settings
can be adjusted to further reduce consumption throughout the day.
It is recommended to replace the 34 desktop PC’s with laptops at
their EOL. The incremental difference in cost is estimated to be
$200 each. See Appendix B-17 & B-18.
Combined Personal Computer EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 6,802
Annual savings $ 3,024
Payback 2.3 years
E.) MOTOR REPLACEMENTS WITH PREMIUM EFFICIENCY
The (4) 5 HP or larger motors in this building are listed in Appendix
C. Two did not have nameplates accessible to determine their
rated operating efficiencies, but both of these motors have
insufficient operating hours to cost justify replacement with
premium efficiency versions.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 11 of 54
The 5 HP motor in RF3-1 and the 20 HP motor in AHU3-1 should
be replaced with premium efficiency motors at their EOL. See
Appendix D-3.
Motor replacement EEM:
Estimated incremental cost to replace
2 motors at EOL with premium eff. $ 950
Annual Savings $ 307
Payback 3.1 years
F.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS
The original T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts on the first and
second floors of this building have been replaced with T8 lamps
and electronic ballasts and the parking lot lighting has been
replaced with LED lighting. It is not clear to the auditor when this
change took place, so it was assumed to have taken place prior to
the 2009/2010 benchmark period (and input into AkWarm-C
accordingly).
It is recommended to complete the building-wide lighting upgrade
using energy saver lamps. Energy saver lamps have a slight
reduction in light output (from 2.9% to 5%) but a relatively large
energy savings (from 12% to 25%). Sample light readings taken
during the audit indicate that the reduction should not be noticed.
It is further recommended to replace all of the standard T8 lamps
with energy saver lamps at the next building re-lamp and to
replace the remaining exterior high pressure sodium (HPS) wall
packs with LED wall packs.
It is also recommended to add occupancy sensors to all rooms.
This EEM summarizes Appendix B-2, 3, 6, 7, B-9 through 16, B-
16, and B-20 through 36. See Appendix E for more information on
occupancy sensors and energy saver lamps.
Combined Lighting Control EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 31,869
Annual Savings $ 6,789
Payback 4.7 years
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 12 of 54
A summary of the estimated cost totals and estimated annual savings
totals of the eight (A. through E.) 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 $ 63,704
Annual Savings (including
maintenance savings) $ 27,333
Simple payback 2.3 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.
Utilize desk plug load management devices like the “Isola”
product found in Appendix E, which turns selected desk
equipment off when the occupant leaves his or her desk, and
back on when they return.
4. Re-configure building occupants and activities (in the case of the
Rec Center) to group un-occupied offices (i.e. no 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. A building is a living mini-ecosystem and its use changes. Re-
evaluate building usage annually 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
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 13 of 54
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
suppliers. Brown Electric, Haakensen Electric, Proctor Sales, Pioneer Door,
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 15 of 54
and J.P. Sheldon, all in Anchorage, were consulted for some of the lighting,
boiler, overhead door and air handling 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 24th, 2012, the
outside ambient temperature was 45F.
This is a four story building totaling 19,022 square feet, as calculated from plans.
The 7,144 square foot first floor consists of locker rooms, the dispatch office, a
kitchenette and break room. This is the only floor used outside of normal office
hours. The second and third floors contain offices, conference rooms, break
rooms and storage rooms, together they total 9,749 square feet. The fourth
floor, or penthouse as it is called in building plans, has 2,129 square feet and
consists of the boiler room, fan room and chiller room.
For its size, the building has a relatively low occupancy, averaging 25 full time
occupants plus 30-50 bus drivers passing through at the beginning and end of
their shifts.
This building is constructed on a 5” concrete slab poured on grade over a vapor
barrier. Walls are constructed of steel framing and metal studs with a metal
finished, 2” structural insulated panel as the building’s exterior surface. The
composite wall insulation value, as calculated by AkWarm-C, is R-39.7. The
roof has two layers of 3” rigid foam insulation over a steel deck, covered with an
EPDM membrane. It’s insulation value is R-32.7. All interior walls are finished
with gypsum.
The windows in this building are double pane glass in aluminum frames and in
good condition. Overall, the building is in above average condition.
Building details are as follows:
a. Heating, Cooling, Ventilation and Controls: Heat is
provided by (2) gas fired, 87% efficient, cast iron sectional
boilers that provide heat via hydronic baseboard radiators,

fixtures. Appendix B details the recommendation of a full
lighting upgrade. See Appendix E for additional information
on occupancy sensors and energy saver lamps. There are
(7) florescent exit signs in the building, as well as a large
number of unlit or self-luminous exit signs.
f. Exterior Lighting: There are (5) HPS-100 watt wall pack
lights on the exterior of this building. The parking lot pole
lights have been retrofitted with LED lights.
g. Building Shell: The building shell is described earlier; it
appears to be in good condition inside and out.
h. Motors: There are 4 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,
see Appendix D-4.

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
$3.55/SF, the ECI for two very similar buildings, the APD Headquarters and
APD Training buildings, are $4.03 and $4.56 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 195 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010
EUI for the APD Headquarters building is 177 kBTU/SF and 228 kBTU/SF for
the APD Training building. The average for “Places of Public Assembly”
buildings across the US is 72-109 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.
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 AUDITS OF ALASKA TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
June 28, 2012 Page 20 of 54
“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.

incremental difference between a 32 watt and 28 watt lamp, estimated to be $3 ea), replace the (5) T8-32 watt
lamps with T8-28 watt “energy saver” lamps; the fixture has a standard electronic ballast; also replace the
existing manual switches with the appropriate number and type of occupancy sensors. Occupancy sensors
cost from $200 -$300 ea installed.
** (item 6) Remove ballast and replace existing (5) exterior HPS 100watt bulbs, assumed to use E26 or 27

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. The lavatory faucets and urinals should be retrofitted with proximity sensing on/off
controls. All 3.5 gpf toilets in this building should be replaced with 1.6 gpf versions. All manual
urinal and lavatory faucet valves would be replaced with proximity sending valves. All toilet
valves 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 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.

Appendix D-2: 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 20 HP supply fan motor in AHU3-1 and the 5 HP return fan motor in RF3-1 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%-69% reduction in electrical consumption is predicted by the Yaskawa software for these
fan motors; these figure were input into AkWarm-C as a reduction in power consumption in the
ventilation section; the resulting savings are included in Appendix B-4. 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 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.
The Yaskawa reports follow:

Appendix D-3: Premium Efficiency Motor upgrades
It is generally recommended that all motors, 5HP or larger, operating for 1500 hrs per year, or
more, at continuous speed, be replaced at EOL with premium efficiency motors. Motors
operating for 5000 hours per year, or more, can be replaced with premium efficiency motors
prior to burn out, with a justifiable payback. Motors in this building, 5HP and larger, are listed in
Table 5 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.

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