Privacy
The information contained within this report, including any attachment(s), was produced under contract to Alaska
Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC). IGAs are the property of the State of Alaska, and may be incorporated into
AkWarm-C, the Alaska Retrofit Information System (ARIS), or other state and/or public information systems.
AkWarm-C is a building energy modeling software developed under contract by AHFC.
Limitations of Study
This energy audit is intended to identify and recommend potential areas of energy savings, estimate the value of the
savings, and provide an opinion of the costs to implement the recommendations. This audit meets the criteria of a
Level 2 Investment Grade Audit (IGA) per the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Air-conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), and is valid for one year. The life of the IGA
may be extended on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of AHFC. In preparing this report, the preparers acted
with the standard of care prevalent in this region for this type of work. All results are dependent on the quality of
input data provided. Not all data could be verified and no destructive testing or investigations were undertaken.
Some data may have been incomplete.
This report is not intended to be a final design document. Any modifications or changes made to a building to realize
the savings must be designed and implemented by licensed, experienced professionals in their fields. Lighting
upgrades should undergo a thorough lighting analysis to assure that the upgrades will comply with State of Alaska
Statutes as well as Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations. All liabilities for upgrades, including
but not limited to safety, design, and performance are incumbent upon the professional(s) who prepare the design.
Coffman Engineers, Inc (CEI) and Central Alaska Engineering Company (CAEC) bear no responsibility for work
performed as a result of this report.
Financial ratios may vary from those forecasted due to the uncertainty of the final installed design, configuration,
equipment selected, installation costs, related additional work, or the operating schedules and maintenance provided
by the owner. Furthermore, many ECMs are interactive, so implementation of one ECM may impact the
performance of another ECM. CEI and CAEC accept no liability for financial loss due to ECMs that fail to meet the
forecasted financial ratios.
The economic analyses for the ECMs relating to lighting improvements are based solely on energy savings.
Additional benefits may be realized in reduced maintenance cost, deferred maintenance, and improved lighting
quality. The new generation lighting systems have significantly longer life leading to long term labor savings,
especially in high areas like Gyms and exterior parking lots. Lighting upgrades displace re-lamping costs for any
fixtures whose lamps would otherwise be nearing the end of their lifecycle. This reduces maintenance costs for 3-7
years after the upgrade. An overall improvement in lighting quality, quantified by numerous studies, improves the
performance of students and workers in the built environment. New lighting systems can be designed to address all
of the above benefits.

II. Introduction
This energy audit was conducted at Mountain View Elementary School (MES) for AHFC and Anchorage
School District (ASD). The school is a 59,118 square foot (sf) campus that includes a 58,158 sf school
and a 960 sf portable building. The school consists of classrooms, locker rooms, restrooms, administrative
offices, a library, a gymnasium, a kitchen, and a multipurpose room. The location of the school is shown
in the following regional and overhead images. The energy audit was conducted in order to evaluate areas
and equipment where energy savings can be realized. The savings are then compared to a baseline and
evaluated for reasonable project financial ratios and payback.

III. Energy Audit Process
Prior to visiting the school, the first task was to collect and review two years of utility data for electricity
and natural gas usage. This information was used to analyze operational characteristics, calculate energy
benchmarks for comparison to industry averages, estimate savings potential and establish a baseline to
monitor the effectiveness of implemented energy conservation measures. A spreadsheet was used to enter,
sum, and calculate benchmarks and to graph energy use information (see Appendix A). The primary
benchmark calculation used for comparison and baseline data is the Energy Utilization Index, or EUI (see
Section VI).
After gathering the utility data and calculating the EUI, the next step in the audit process was to review
the architectural and engineering drawings to develop a building profile which documented building age,
type, usage, and major energy consuming equipment or systems such as lighting, Heating, Ventilating,
and Air Conditioning (HVAC), water heating, refrigeration, snow-melt, and etc. The building profile is
utilized to generate, and answer, all possible questions regarding the facility’s energy usage. These
questions were then compared to the energy usage profiles developed during the utility data gathering
step. After this information was gathered, the next step in the process was to conduct a site survey.
A site survey was completed on December 8, 2011. Time was spent inspecting the building systems that
impact energy consumption and answering questions from the preliminary review of the school. The on-
site contact during the investigation was Mr. Chris Lynch of the ASD Facilities Department1. The
following information was also collected while on site: occupancy schedules, O&M practices, building
energy management program, and other information that has an impact on energy consumption.
The following energy audit includes an evaluation of the information gathered, the researching of possible
conservation opportunities, organizing the audit into a comprehensive report, and making ECM
recommendations for mechanical, electrical, and building envelope improvements.

IV. Method of Analysis
Having completed the preliminary energy audit tasks, Coffman Engineers, Inc., (CEI) conducted a site
survey. The site survey provides critical input in deciphering where energy savings opportunities exist
within a facility. The audit team from CEI walked the entire site to inventory and investigate the building
envelope and major equipment, including: HVAC, water heating, lighting, and equipment located
throughout. An understanding of how the equipment is used is determined during the site survey.
The collected data was entered into AkWarm Commercial™ software, an energy calculating program for
buildings. The data was processed by AkWarm to model a baseline from which ECMs could be
considered. The model was compared to actual utility costs to ensure the quality of the baseline and
proposed energy modeling performed by AkWarm. The recommended ECMs focus on the building
envelope, HVAC, lighting, water heating, and other electrical measures that will reduce annual energy
consumption.
ECMs are evaluated based on building use and processes, local climate conditions, building construction
type, function, operational schedule, existing conditions, and foreseen future plans. When new equipment
is proposed, energy consumption is calculated based on the manufacturer’s cataloged information. Energy
savings are calculated by AkWarm.
Implementation of more than one ECM often affects the savings of other ECMs. The savings may in
some cases be relatively higher for an ECM implemented individually than when that ECM is just one of
multiple recommended ECMs. For example, implementing reduced operating schedules of inefficient
lighting systems may result in a given savings. Also implementing a more efficient lighting system will
add to the savings, but less than the efficient lighting would alone because there is less energy to be saved
when the lights are on a reduced operating schedule. Thus, if multiple ECM’s are recommended, the
combined savings are calculated and identified appropriately in groups.
In Appendix D, Energy Conservation Measures, the simple lifetime calculation is shown for each ECM,
which is based on the typical life of the equipment being replaced or altered. The energy savings are
extrapolated throughout the simple lifetime of the ECM. The total energy savings is calculated as the total
lifetime multiplied by the yearly energy savings.
The cost savings and installation costs are used to calculate simple payback2 and the Savings to
Investment Ratio3 (SIR). These are listed in Appendix D and summarized in the Executive Summary
Table of this report. The SIR is calculated as a ratio by dividing the break even cost by the initial installed
cost. Cost savings is calculated based on the historical energy costs for the building. Installation costs
include labor and equipment to evaluate the initial investment required to implement an ECM. These are
applied to each recommendation with simple paybacks calculated. The energy analyst’s opinions of
probable cost are garnered from RS Means Cost Data, other industry publications, and local contractors
and suppliers. In addition, where applicable, maintenance cost savings are estimated and applied to the net
savings.
2 The simple payback is based on the years that it takes for the net savings to payback the net installation cost (Cost
divided by Savings).
3 Savings to Investment Ratio (SIR): Break Even Cost divided by initial installed cost, where Break-Even Cost is
how much can be spent and still have the measure be cost effective; it equals the Present Value (PV) of Savings over
the life of the measure minus PV of maintenance costs.

Mountain View Elementary School is occupied by approximately 380 people from 7am-11pm weekdays
from August through May. Most of the building, except the main office and maintenance areas is
unoccupied and shut down from June to July.
V.I Architectural Description
Most of the school’s original construction exterior walls are 10’ high and composed of 6” thick poured
concrete lined with furring strips on 16” centers, 2” blanket insulation and plywood sheathing. The
exterior walls along the East and West face of the school building are composed of 6” concrete blocks, 2”
rigid insulation, and a 4” brick veneer. These walls have an estimated R-value of R-3.5. The exterior wall
of the multipurpose room is approximately 18’ high and is constructed with 8” poured concrete overlaid
with 2” rigid insulation and metal siding (R-14.1). Exterior walls of the 1970 addition are 11’-4” high and
are composed of 8” concrete blocks with 2” furring strips, 2” blanket insulation, and plywood sheathing
(R-3.5). The exterior walls of the 1983 addition are composed of 8” concrete blocks with 4” rigid
insulation and a finishing system (R-19.9). Analysis of the architectural and construction drawings for the
building shows a total of 20,147 sf of wall area.
The school’s flooring construction details are from an analysis of the architectural and construction
drawings. The floors in the building’s original construction area consist of 4” thick concrete slab on grade
with a 1” rigid perimeter insulation extending to the footing. The perimeter insulation in this area appears
to be located on the interior face of the foundation wall. Flooring in the newer construction areas is also
4” thick concrete slab on grade but has 4” rigid perimeter insulation that extends to the footing and lies
external to the foundation wall. There is approximately 54,628 sf of slab on grade floor area for the
school. An additional 3,530 sf of floor area comes from a fan room and a storage area on the second floor,
and an additional mechanical room on the first floor. The total square footage of the building is 58,158 sf.
The school’s original construction area has a built-up flat roof containing a metal deck, 2” rigid insulation
and sheet metal flashing. The roof of the school’s 1970 addition is also a built-up flat roof but has 1.5”
metal decking, a vapor barrier, and 3” rigid insulation. The roof of the 1983 addition was replaced in 2005
with a 2-ply vapor barrier, 1/2” gypsum sheathing, R-30 rigid insulation, a fiberglass base overlaid with
3-ply roofing and an SBS mineral cap sheet. The approximate overall R-value for the roof construction is
R-32.6. Analysis of the architectural and construction drawings shows a total roof area of 54,628 sf.
The school has approximately 150 double pane, 1/2” air space, aluminum frame windows with an
effective R-value of R-1.2. From the architectural drawings, the window headers appear to be insulated.
The total South facing window area for the school is approximately 2,903 sf. All other window areas for
the school total approximately 365 sf.
There are eight windowless exterior man doors located around the school that are hollow metal with
insulated cores with an effective R-value of R-2.5. There are 14 hollow, metal entryway doors with
insulated cores and half lite windows that provide an effective R-value of R-2.2. Several of the doors
were installed during the original construction of the school and are approximately 55 years old. All of the
building’s exterior doors have weather stripping in fair condition.
V.II Mechanical Description
The school is heated using four gas-fired, cast-iron, sectional boilers. Boilers B-1 and B-2 are Burnham
PF-505 series boilers that were installed in 1983 and are equipped with Power Flame CR1-G-12 burners
that have a 996 MBH input rating. These boilers operate year round providing building heat to the 1983
classroom addition and have direct digital controls (DDC). The rest of the school is served by two Weil-
McLain model 1388 boilers, B-3 and B-4. These boilers were installed in 1998 and are equipped with
Gordon Piatt R10.1-G-30 burners that have a 2,840 MBH input rating each. Boilers B-3 and B-4 also
Mountain View Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 7 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-16
operate year round and have DDC controls. A boiler circulation pump is provided for each boiler. The
circulation pumps for the two Burnham boilers are 3/4 HP Bell & Gossett inline pumps while the
circulation pumps for the two Weil-McLain boilers are 2 HP Armstrong inline pumps. It was reported that
all of the boilers have been operating at temperatures higher than recommended, which may be due to a
combination of the location of the return water temperature sensor in the hot water header and current
DDC setpoints.
An A. O. Smith BT-100-926 gas-fired, 100 gallon domestic hot water heater and a Grundfos UP 25-64SF
180 watt inline circulation pump are located in the mechanical room. An A. O. Smith BT-140-540 gas-
fired, 140 gallon domestic hot water heater and a Grundfos UPS-15-42ST 85 Watt inline circulation pump
are located in the boiler room. These domestic hot water heaters and circulation pumps are used to
provide hot water for the school and kitchen areas.
There are eight air handling units (AHUs) located throughout the building which provide supply air
tempered using hot water coils. Due to multiple HVAC renovation projects, the AHUs are not labeled in
sequential order and some labels are used more than once. Refer to Appendix C, Major Equipment List,
for a detailed listing of each AHU by location. AHU-1 (1983), a Trane No. 17B Climate Changer, serves
the 1983 addition classrooms with 8,620 CFM of conditioned air using a 7.5 HP fan. AHU-2 (1983), a
Trane No. 8A Climate Changer, supplies the gym with 4,500 CFM using a 3 HP fan. AHU-5 (1956), an
American Blower Company 215, supplies 5,500 CFM of condition air to the multipurpose room using a 2
HP fan. AHU-1 (2005), a Haakon WH0602A, provides 4,000 CFM to the Northwest classrooms of the
original construction area using a 3 HP fan. AHU-2 (2005), a Haakon WH0901A, provides 7,200 CFM to
the Southwest classrooms of the original construction area using a 5 HP fan. AHU-7 (2005), a Haakon
WQ0801A, provides 4,800 CFM of air to the Southeast classrooms of the original construction area using
a 3 HP fan. AHU-8 (2005), a Haakon WQ0602A, provides 3,600 CFM to the Northeast classrooms of the
original construction area using a 3 HP fan. AHU-9 supplies the school’s 1970 addition and is located in a
fan room above the library entrance. Access was restricted to this area preventing inspection on the day of
the CEI site survey. An older roof-top AHU (1956), a Pace A18FO, is no longer used and is not in
service. No mechanical cooling is provided for any equipment in the building.
Mechanical ventilation for the building is also provided by relief fans, supply fans, and exhaust fans
located on the roof and throughout the building. RF-1 is a roof-mounted centrifugal relief fan with a 3 HP
motor equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD). RF-2 is also a roof-mounted centrifugal relief fan
with a 2 HP motor equipped with a VFD. RF-1A is a return fan with a 2 HP motor located in the fan
room. Supply fan F-1 is a centrifugal fan with a 3/4 HP motor that supplies combustion air to the boiler
room. VF-1 is a centrifugal supply fan with a 240 W motor. Exhaust fans EF-1, EF-2, EF-3, and EF-6 are
roof-mounted units and are each equipped with fractional horsepower motors. These fans ventilate the
school’s restrooms. Exhaust fans EF-4 and EF-5 are roof-mounted units equipped with 1 HP motors and
ventilate the mechanical room. EF-4A, an exhaust fan with a 1 HP motor, provides recirculation to the
multipurpose room. See Appendix C, Major Equipment List, for a detailed list of the ventilation units.
The school’s building energy management and control system was originally pneumatically controlled. In
2005, all pneumatic controls were replaced with a direct digital control system.
V.III Electrical Description
The school is served by a 1200 amp (A), 120/208 volt (V), three phase, 4-wire, underground electrical
service connected to a pad mounted utility transformer. Electricity is distributed throughout the school via
three main distribution panels that feed numerous small distribution panels scattered throughout the
school.

Lighting in the corridors was originally provided by fluorescent T12 light fixtures but many portions of
the school have been upgraded to T8 lighting, to conserve energy. The lighting levels are adequate
throughout most of the corridors, however they are in excess of the IESNA suggested lighting levels in
one portion of the school with the upgraded T8 lighting. Numerous nightlights with battery backed
emergency ballasts are present in the corridors; all other fixtures are controlled by a contactor interfaced
with the security system that shuts the corridor lights off while the security system is armed. A few trophy
cases are present in the corridors. One set is illuminated by two fluorescent single lamp T12 strip lights
that are controlled by a local light switch. The other set of trophy cases is illuminated by about (12) two-
lamp, 3’ T12 light fixtures that appear to be controlled by the same contactor as the corridor lights.
The library lighting is provided by 3-lamp T8 Fluorescent light fixtures and recessed down lights with
two 26 watt (W) compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). The library lighting is split into multiple zones, all
controlled by wall switches.
The lighting in nearly all of the classrooms has been upgraded to three and four lamp fluorescent T8
lighting with the exception to one small resource room with four three-lamp T12 light fixtures.
Approximately 75% of the T8 light fixtures are provided with bi-level switching where two lamps are
controlled by one wall switch and the remaining lamps are controlled by a second switch. The balance of
the lights are controlled by a single light switch. Many of the classrooms are also equipped with a small
restroom for student use. These spaces are illuminated by a mixture of T8, T12, and circline T9
fluorescent lighting along with some 60W incandescent lights. All of the classroom restroom lights are
controlled by local wall switches
The office spaces in the school are primarily illuminated by fluorescent two and three-lamp T12 light
fixtures and approximately 15% of the spaces have been upgraded to three-lamp T8 lighting. All of the
fluorescent light fixtures are controlled by wall switches. Additionally there is a single incandescent lamp
used for task lighting in room 53.
The multi-purpose room (MPR) is illuminated by 400W metal halide (MH) high bay light fixtures that are
controlled by wall switches. These types of light fixtures are difficult to switch frequently due to a long
start up time and therefore usually remain on the entire time that the building is occupied. There is also a
stage area integrated into the MPR with two small semi-enclosed stairways leading to it from the MPR.
Each stairway is illuminated by a two-lamp 60W incandescent light fixture that is controlled by a wall
switch. A discussion with the staff revealed that these light fixtures are commonly left on while the space
is unoccupied.
Lighting in the student restrooms is provided by two-lamp T12 fluorescent lighting that appears to be
controlled by the same lighting contactor that controls the corridor lighting.
The gymnasium lighting consists of (21) four-lamp fluorescent T5HO fixtures that are controlled by wall
switches. A few small storage areas used for housing gym equipment are illuminated by a mixture of T8
and T12 light fixtures and are controlled by wall switches.
The Kitchen is illuminated by approximately (17) two-lamp T12 light fixtures with magnetic ballasts.
These light fixtures are controlled by a wall switch.
Exterior of the school building is illuminated by several 150W high pressure sodium (HPS) wallpack and
canopy lights. The walkways and parking areas are illuminated by 150W pole mounted LED light
fixtures. The playground and skating rink are illuminated by 400W HPS pole mounted light fixtures. The
building mounted wallpack and canopy lights are controlled by several photocells that, when functioning
correctly, switch the lights off during the day. Several of these photocells were observed to be inoperable,
leaving a few of the light fixtures on continuously. The pole mounted light fixtures are all controlled by a
Mountain View Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 9 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-16
central photocell controlled contactor that shuts the lights off during the day. The contactor is also
interfaced with the security system to shut the lights off when the building security system is alarmed.
Other electricity-using equipment not previously described in the mechanical or electrical sections include
a commercial reach-in freezer, a commercial reach-in refrigerator, a microwave and other kitchen
equipment, and various user equipment such as projectors, computers, and printers.
V.IV Portable Building Description
There is a single, 960 sf portable building located on the Mountain View Elementary school campus. It is
minimally occupied approximately one day per week. The portable was constructed in 1983 and consists
of 2”x4” wood studs on 16” centers with R-11 fiberglass batt insulation for a combined R-value of R-
11.4. The exterior face of the wall is T1-11 siding with drywall on the interior. The exterior wall height is
nine feet under the roof eaves, and the end walls vary in height up to 11’ at the roof peak. The portable
building has 1,280 sf of exterior wall area.
The portable has an above grade floor resting on sleepers. Plywood skirting protects the sleepers and floor
construction from the weather. The floor construction is plywood flooring resting on 2x8 wood joists with
R-13 fiberglass batt insulation. The portable has 960 sf of floor area.
The portable is covered by a cold roof with shingles on top of a plywood decking. It is estimated that the
roof is insulated with R-13 fiberglass batt insulation. The portable has approximately 1,012 sf of roof
area.
There are two double pane, wood framed windows in the portable with an estimated R-value of R-2.0.
There are two insulated metal doors with an R-value of R-1.7 for each door.
The portable is heated by electric resistance perimeter baseboards where the temperature set point is
controlled by a dial thermostat on each individual baseboard. This makes it easy for the electric
baseboards to be left on at higher temperatures than is required. Building occupants confirmed that the
portable building is often overheated. Due to the need to keep these buildings moveable and due to
combustion safety issues, the Anchorage School District states its desire to keep all portable buildings on
electric heat and not utilize natural gas heating at this time.
A 120/208V single phase overhead feeder is supplied to the portable building from the school building.
The service terminates in a small distribution panel that distributes power to the portable's lighting,
heating, and receptacles. The lighting in the portable is provided by (12) four-lamp, 4’ long, T12 light
fixtures with magnetic ballasts. The 4’ fluorescent fixtures are controlled by wall switches. Additionally
there is a single 2’x2’ recessed troffer with two 40W U-tube T12 lamps with a magnetic ballast that is not
switched and is on continuously.
A separate AkWarm model was created to model this portable building. See Appendix E, Energy
Conservation Measures – Mountain View Portable Buildings, for details of the recommended ECMs for
the portable building.

VI. Historic Energy Consumption and Cost
Tables provided in Appendix A, Energy Benchmark Data Report, represent the electric and natural gas
energy usage for the surveyed facility from January 2009 to December 2010. Anchorage Municipal
Lighting &Power provides the electricity and Enstar Natural Gas provides the natural gas to the building.
Both utility companies bill the facility using a commercial rate schedule. The actual utility bills were not
provided to be able to verify the data received to assure 100 percent accuracy of the data.
The AkWarm model of the facility was built to match the facility’s average annual electric and natural
gas consumption, so that a realistic model could be created. The monthly energy consumption of the
AkWarm model matches the actual average monthly consumption of the facility within 25%, which is
adequate for this level of modeling. Overall, the energy consumption trends of the AkWarm model and
the actual facility match appropriately. Graphical representations of the monthly energy consumption are
included in Appendix A.
VI.I Electrical Consumption Data
The electric utility costs consist of several components: a fixed monthly customer charge, an energy usage
charge, fuel surcharge, taxes, and a demand charge. The energy usage and fuel surcharge are based on the
customer's usage as measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The usage (kWh) is determined by load wattage
divided by 1,000, times hours running. For example, a 1,000 watt load operating for one hour will use 1
kWh of electricity as would ten, 100 watt lamps operating for one hour or one, 100W lamp operating for
10 hours. One kWh is equivalent to 3,413 BTU. Utility data used in this report reflects the historical data
provided for the building in a summarized format.
VI.II Natural Gas Consumption Data
The natural gas supplier bills for consumption in CCF of natural gas; where one CCF equals 100 cubic
feet of natural gas. The average heating value of natural gas is 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot, making 1 CCF
equal to 100,000 BTUs (also called one “Therm”).
VI.III Overall Energy Consumption Data
The overall cost for energy use is calculated by dividing the total cost by the total usage. Based on the
electric and fuel oil utility data provided, the average cost for the energy and consumption calculations at
the surveyed facility are summarized in the table below.
Table 4. Energy Cost and Consumption Data
Energy Cost and Consumption Data
2009 2010 Average
Electric 0.12 $/kWh 0.13 $/kWh 0.13 $/kWh
Natural Gas 1.00 $/CCF 0.87 $/CCF 0.94 $/CCF
Total Cost $116,090 $109,193 $112,642
ECI 1.96 $/sf 1.85 $/sf 1.91 $/sf
Electric EUI 30.1 kBtu/sf 30.7 kBtu/sf 30.4 kBtu/sf
Natural Gas EUI 86.8 kBtu/sf 79.7 kBtu/sf 83.2 kBtu/sf
Building EUI 116.9 kBtu/sf 110.4 kBtu/sf 113.6 kBtu/sf
The Energy Cost Index (ECI) is derived by dividing the annual cost by the building square footage. The
building square footage was calculated to be approximately 59,118 sf. This area includes the 58,158 sf
school and the 960 sf portable building.
Mountain View Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 11 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-16
The annual EUI is expressed in Thousands of British Thermal Units per Square Foot (kBtu/sf) and can be
used to compare energy consumption of similar building types or to track consumption from year to year
in the same building. The EUI is calculated by converting annual consumption of all fuels used to Btu’s
and then dividing by the area (gross conditioned square footage) of the building. EUI is a good indicator
of the relative potential for energy savings. A comparatively low EUI indicates less potential for large
energy savings. Building architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings were obtained and utilized to
calculate and verify the gross area of the facility. The gross area was confirmed on the physical site
investigation.

VII. Equipment Inventory and Photo Survey
Following the completion of the field survey a detailed equipment list was created and is attached as
Appendix C. The major equipment listed are considered to be the major energy consuming equipment in
the building whose replacement could yield substantial energy savings.
An approximate age was assigned to the equipment if a manufactured date was not shown on the
equipment’s nameplate. As listed in the 2011 ASHRAE Handbook for HVAC Applications, Chapter 37,
Table 4, the service life for the equipment along with the remaining useful life in accordance to the
ASHRAE standard are also noted in the equipment list.
Where there are zero (0) years remaining in the estimated useful life of a piece of equipment, this is an
indication that maintenance costs are likely on the rise and more efficient replacement equipment is
available which will lower the operating costs of the unit. Maintenance costs should also fall with the
replacement.
Additionally, photos of various equipment and the building construction were taken during the site visit.
Several photos are included in Appendix F.
CEI made miscellaneous thermographic images of the building using a FLIR T300 Infrared Camera. This
is not a thermographic study, but rather just a few snapshots to illustrate easy-to-identify heat losses.
These thermographic photos are included in Appendix G.

VIII. Energy Conservation Measures
VIII.I School Energy Conservation Measures
ECM# MES-0 – Replace light commercial refrigerators/freezers older than 5 years old
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
---<10 years
Due to advances in refrigerators in the previous five years, new Energy Star refrigerators and freezers are
significantly more efficient than previous models. Replacing existing refrigerators and freezers, which are
older than five years old, with new energy star models will typically have paybacks of less than 10 years.
ECM # MES-1– Shutdown Boilers During Summer Months
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,379 $720 30.95 0.5
The four gas fired boilers in the building operate year round, even during the summer when limited
heating needs are required. By turning off the boilers from June to the end of August, energy savings can
be achieved. ASD has had trouble with older generation grooved joint couplings when subjected to cyclic
heating and cooling from seasonal shutdowns. However, due to the fact that the hydronic piping in
Mountain View Elementary does not contain grooved joint couplings, leaks should not be an issue when
boilers are shut down seasonally. The maintenance cost of a trained technician restarting the boilers was
included in the installed cost, but no capital cost is required. This ECM was modeled with a separate
AkWarm model and as a result, the item is not an additive measure in AkWarm. It is therefore, not
included in the final cost savings total in the final AkWarm model in Appendix D.
ECM # MES-2 – Setback Thermostat: Classrooms, Offices, Gym, and Multipurpose Room
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$4,279 $556 12.91 7.7
Currently there is a night setback schedule that lowers building temperatures to 65 deg F during
unoccupied times. However, even greater energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the
classrooms, offices, gymnasium, and multipurpose spaces further to 60 deg F during unoccupied times.
Lowering the heat load of the building will reduce natural gas consumption. Since the school’s
thermostats are already connected to the DDC system, the costs of this ECM only includes the time
required to program a night setback which can be performed by maintenance personnel. The 60 deg F
night setback is feasible but may require that other DDC setpoints be changed, such as the low
temperature alarm. This ECM is a compilation of items 1, and 2 as modeled in AkWarm which are
intended to be implemented concurrently. Details of the individual items are shown in Appendix D.

ECM # MES-3 – Upgrade Library Lighting Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$555 $900 9.02 1.6
The Library lighting is provided by approximately (63) 3-lamp T8 Fluorescent light fixtures and (18)
recessed can lights with two 26 watt (W) compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). These lights are controlled in
multiple zones by wall switches. It is recommended that approximately six ceiling mounted occupancy
sensors are installed to control these light fixtures.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 3 and 18 in Appendix D for details of individual
measures.
ECM # MES-4–Provide Classroom Occupancy Sensors
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$2,562 $4,351 2.52 1.7
The 29 classrooms in the school are primarily illuminated by two, three, and four-lamp fluorescent T8
light fixtures with electronic ballasts. It is recommended that one occupancy sensor is installed in each of
the 29 classrooms to control all of the light fixtures in that room.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 in Appendix D for details of
individual measures.
ECM # MES-5 – Upgrade Student Restroom Lighting and Provide Occupancy Sensors
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$481 $3,300 2.13 6.9
Lighting in the six student restrooms is provided by (16) two lamp T12 fluorescent lighting that appears
to be controlled by the same lighting contactor that controls the corridor lighting. It is recommended that
the light fixtures in these areas be replaced, one-for-one, with 2-lamp T8 light fixtures, and six new
ceiling mounted occupancy sensors are added for control. See item 20 in Appendix D for more
information.

ECM # MES-6 – Upgrade Corridor Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$2,348 $15,650 2.19 6.67
Lighting in the corridors was originally provided by fluorescent T12 light fixtures but many portions of
the school have been upgraded to T8 lighting to conserve energy. The lighting levels are adequate
throughout most of the corridors, however they are in excess of the IESNA suggested lighting levels in
corridors 100, 200, and 300 which were upgraded with T8 lighting. Numerous nightlights with battery
backed emergency ballasts are present in the corridors. All other fixtures are controlled by a contactor
interfaced with the security system that shuts the corridor lights off while the security system is armed. It
is suggested that the (15) single-lamp T12 and (37) two-lamp T12 light fixtures be replaced, one-for-one,
with single and two-lamp T8 light fixtures respectively. It is also recommended that the lighting levels in
corridors 100, 200, and 300 be reduced to IESNA recommended levels. This can be achieved by replacing
ballasts in the three-lamp light fixtures with two lamp ballasts and removing the middle set of tombstones
so that the fixture will only accept the outer two lamps. Additionally the number of normally switched
light fixtures should be reduced by 50%, and reducing the number of light fixtures to 53. It is not
recommended that the number of emergency battery backed light fixtures be reduced.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 13, 22, and 27 in Appendix D for details of individual
measures.
ECM # MES-7 – Upgrade Office Lighting and Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,841 $16,680 1.61 9.1
The office spaces in the school are primarily illuminated by fluorescent two and three-lamp T12 light
fixtures and relatively few spaces have been upgraded to three-lamp T8 lighting. All of the fluorescent
light fixtures are controlled by wall switches. Additionally there is a single incandescent lamp used for
task lighting in room 53. It is recommended that the (36) two-lamp, and the (52) three-lamp T12 light
fixtures are replaced one-for-one by T8 light fixtures, and the single 52W incandescent desk lamp should
be replaced by a CFL. One new ceiling mounted occupancy sensor should be installed in each of the 23
office spaces to control the (88) previously described fluorescent light fixtures in addition to the (12)
existing three-lamp T8 light fixtures.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 14, 21, 26, and 29 in Appendix D for details of
individual measures.
ECM # MES-8 – Upgrade Exterior Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$2,759 $26,700 1.51 9.7
Approximately three photocells were observed to be inoperable during the site visit to the school leaving
seven 150W HPS light fixtures on continuously. It is recommended that these photocells be replaced in
addition to replacing the (24) 150W HPS building-mounted, wallpack, and canopy light fixtures with
70W LED source light fixtures. The pole mounted nine 400W HPS light fixtures should be replaced with
Mountain View Elementary School Final Energy Audit Report
Coffman Engineers, Inc. 6/15/2012 16 AkWarm No. CIRI-ANC-CAEC-16
150W LED light fixtures. Though replacing the inoperable photocells will reduce operations and
maintenance costs due to extending the life of the system, these savings were not modeled in AkWarm.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 5, 9, 15, 16, 17, 19, 46, and 47 in Appendix D for
details of individual measures.
Note – AkWarm measures with SIRs less than one were included in this compiled annual energy savings,
installed cost, SIR, and payback of this since they should be upgraded congruently.
ECM # MES-9 – Upgrade Trophy Case Lighting and Controls
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$277 $2,850 1.41 10.3
A few trophy cases are present in the corridors and are one set is illuminated by two fluorescent single
lamp 4' T12 strip lights that are controlled by a local light switch. These light fixtures should be replaced
one-for-one with 4' single lamp T8 strip lights, and the wall switch should be replaced with an occupancy
sensor.
A second set of trophy cases is illuminated by about (12) fluorescent two-lamp, 3’ T12 light fixtures that
appear to be controlled by the same contactor as the corridor lights. This bank of trophy cases is
partitioned into 6' sections and each section has two 3' fixtures. Each set of two 3' fixtures should be
replaced by one 4' and one 2' two lamp fluorescent T8 light fixtures. Two new occupancy sensors should
also be added to control these light fixtures to switch them off while no one is present in the adjacent
areas.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same
time, however due to constraints with the AkWarm modeling software the different lighting
configurations were modeled separately. See items 12, 24, and 58 in Appendix D for details of individual
measures.
ECM # MES-10–Upgrade Multi-Purpose Room Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$765 $9,960 1.09 13.0
The MPR is illuminated by (12) high bay 400W MH light fixtures that are controlled by wall switches.
Due to the long strike time associated with MH light fixtures they usually remain on the entire time that
the building is occupied, and they cannot be easily controlled by occupancy sensors. The stage area
integrated into the MPR has two semi-enclosed stairways leading to it from the MPR. Each stairway is
illuminated by a two lamp 60W incandescent light fixture that is controlled by a wall switch. It is
recommended that the MH light fixtures in the MPR be replaced one-for-one by high bay fluorescent six-
lamp T5HO light fixtures controlled by new wall mounted light switches. Additionally the wall switches
in the two stairways should be replaced by occupancy sensors that will automatically shut the lights off
when the space is unoccupied, and that the incandescent lamps are replaced with CFL's.
This description is for a compilation of several ECMs that are intended to be implemented at the same

ECM # MES-11–Air Tightening
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$1,744 $15,000 1.03 8.6
By tightening the building envelope with air sealing improvements, infiltration into the building will be
reduced. This in turn will reduce the heating load required by the building and reduce the amount of
natural gas being burned by the boilers. While a blower door test was not completed, it is anticipated that
air leakage is occurring through old weather stripping around doors, window frames, and wall and roof
penetrations. Methods to decrease the infiltration into the building include: sealing around the windows
and doors with caulking and insulation, adding new weather stripping to doors, providing gaskets to all
exterior cover plates and sealing all roof and wall penetrations. To achieve a viable economic benefit, up
to $15,000 can be invested and still achieve an SIR ≥ 1 by reducing air leakage by 20%. See item 31 in
Appendix D for more information.
ECM # MES-12–Install VFDs on 5HP pumps and EC Motors on pumps less than 1HP
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$2,212 $35,000 0.96 15.8
It is recommended that Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) be installed on 5 HP pumps (P-3A, 3B, 4A,
and 4B) so that the pumps can modulate in order to satisfy the heating load of the hydronic system for the
building. This will reduce the electricity required for pumping.
The eight existing circulation pumps (P-5, 6, 7, and 8 and PMP-1,2, 3, and 4) are constant speed pumps.
New, high efficiency pumps with electronically commutated (EC) motors require no DDC interface and
have integral speed controls which read system demand, allowing the pump to slow down with significant
electrical savings. It is recommended to replace the existing pumps with new pumps with EC motors.
Though this ECM does not have an SIR above one according to the AkWarm model, it should still be
considered as a viable energy conservation measure. This ECM was modeled with a separate AkWarm
model and as a result the item is not an additive measure in AkWarm. It is therefore not included in the
final cost savings total in the final AkWarm model in Appendix D.

VIII.II Portable Building Energy Conservation Measures
ECM #PB-1 – Setback Thermostat
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$780 $1,000 9.57 1.3
Significant energy savings exist by reducing the room temperature of the portable building during
unoccupied times. However, due to the fact that the portable building has perimeter electric baseboard
heaters, each with individual dial thermostats, it is difficult to obtain a desired set point in the portable
building. As a result, the temperature in the portable is typically much higher than required. Also, the
temperature cannot be set back during unoccupied times. It is recommended that a central programmable
thermostat be installed in the portable building that can turn the perimeter electric baseboards on or off to
control occupied and unoccupied temperature set points. Reducing the portable temperature from 65F to
60F during unoccupied times will save $780 annually in electricity bills. See item 1 in Appendix E for
more information.
ECM #PB-2 – Add Insulation to Portable Skirting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$264 $960 5.70 3.6
The Portable has uninsulated plywood skirting which protects the above grade floor from the weather.
The skirting is estimated to have an R-value of R-3.0. Installing R-15 rigid insulation to the interior side
of the portable skirting will reduce heat loss and reduce electricity consumption. See item 2 in Appendix
E for more information.
ECM #PB-3 – Upgrade Portable Lighting
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$421 $2,250 2.88 5.3
The portable is currently illuminated by (12) fluorescent four-lamp T12 light fixtures with magnetic
ballasts. These fixtures should be replaced one-for-one with four-lamp T8 fluorescent light fixtures with
programmable start ballasts and controlled by a ceiling mounted occupancy sensor. Additionally there is a
2'x2' two lamp 40W u-tube T12 troffer that should be replaced by a 4' two-lamp T8 light fixture and
controlled by a wall mounted occupancy sensor.

The portable building has two poorly insulated (R-1.7) metal doors. It is recommended that both doors be
removed and replaced with new R-6.25 minimum (U-0.16) insulated doors. The new doors should have
proper weather stripping on them to reduce air infiltration. See item 5 in Appendix E for more
information.

ECM #PB-5 – Seal Building Envelope and Reduce Infiltration by 30%
Annual Energy Savings Installed Cost SIR Payback (years)
$115 $980 1.02 8.5
By tightening the portable building envelope with air sealing improvements, infiltration into the portable
will be reduced. This in turn will reduce the heating load and reduce the amount of electricity being used
by the electric heaters. While a blower door test was not completed, it is anticipated that air leakage is
occurring around old weather stripping around doors, window frames, and wall and roof penetrations.
Methods to decrease the infiltration into the portable include: sealing around the windows and doors with
caulking and insulation, adding new weather stripping to doors, providing gaskets to all exterior cover
plates and sealing all roof and wall penetrations. To achieve a viable economic benefit, up to $980 can be
invested and still achieve an SIR ≥ 1 by reducing air leakage by 30%. See item 6 in Appendix E for more

VIII.III Administrative Controls for Energy Conservation and Optimization
While the intent of many energy conservation measures is to increase the efficiency of fuel-burning and
electrical equipment, an important factor of energy consumption lies in the operational profiles which
control the equipment usage. Such profiles can be managed by administrative controls and departmental
leadership. They determine how and when fuel-burning and electrical equipment are used, and therefore
have a greater impact on energy savings potential than simply equipment upgrades alone. Significant
energy cost savings can be realized when ECMs are combined with efficient-minded operational profiles.
Operational profiles may be outlined by organization policy or developed naturally or historically. These
profiles include, but are not limited to: operating schedules, equipment setpoints and control strategies,
maintenance schedules, and site and equipment selection.
Optimization of operational profiles can be accomplished by numerous methods so long as the intent is
reduction in energy-using equipment runtime. Due to the numerous methods of optimization, energy cost
savings solely as a result of operational optimization are difficult to predict. Quantification, however, is
easy to accomplish by metering energy usage during and/or after implementation of energy-saving
operational profiles and ECMs. Shown below are some examples which have proven successful for other
organizations.
Optimization of site selection includes scheduling and location of events. If several buildings in a given
neighborhood are all lightly used after regularly occupied hours, energy savings can be found when after-
hours events are consolidated and held within the most energy efficient buildings available for use. As a
result, unoccupied buildings could be shut down to the greatest extent possible to reduce energy
consumption.
Two operational behaviors which can be combined with equipment upgrades are operating schedules and
equipment control strategies including setpoints. Occupancy and daylight sensors can be programmed to
automatically shut off or dim lighting when rooms are unoccupied or sufficiently lit from the sun.
Operating schedules can be optimized to run equipment only during regular or high-occupancy periods.
Also, through a central control system, or with digital programmable thermostats, temperature setpoints
can be reduced during low-occupancy hours to maximize savings. In addition, sporadically used
equipment can be shut down during unoccupied hours to further save energy. In general, having
equipment operating in areas where no occupants are present is inefficient, and presents an opportunity
for energy savings.
Operational profiles can also be implemented to take advantage of no- or low-cost ECMs. Examples
include heating plant optimizations (boiler section cleaning, boiler flush-through cleaning) and tighter
controls of equipment setbacks and shutdowns (unoccupied zones equipment shutdown, easier access to
and finer control of equipment for after-hours control). In a large facility management program,
implementation of these measures across many or all sites will realize dramatic savings due to the
quantity of equipment involved.
Changes to building operational profiles can only be realized while simultaneously addressing health,
safety, user comfort, and user requirements first. It is impractical to expect users to occupy a building or
implement operational behaviors which do not meet such considerations. That said, it is quite practical for
management groups to implement administrative controls which reduce losses brought about by excess
and sub-optimum usage.
