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
implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness,

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 February 5th, 2012.
The Mountain View Community Recreation Center, under lease to the Boys &
Girls Club of Anchorage, houses on its first floor, a gymnasium, commercial
kitchen, several game rooms, a computer room, arts & crafts room and multi-
purpose room. The basement level has been built out to accommodate the
offices of “Nine Star Education & Employment Services”. This audit combines
the basement and first floor, as there is a single electric and gas meter on the
premises. The two organizations using this building should consider sub-
metering the gas and electric usage between the two floors.
The original building was constructed in 1967, it underwent a cosmetic
renovation in 1987 and a major (nearly tripling the size of the building)
renovation and addition which was completed in 1998 or 1999. No 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 260,160 $ 26,807 252,480 $ 27,918
Natural Gas ‐ CCF 18,178 $ 18,051 18,448 $ 16,257
Totals $ 44,858 $ 44,175
A benchmark measure of energy use relative to other similar function buildings
in the area is the Energy Use Index (EUI), which takes the total annual energy
used by the facility divided by the square footage area of the building, for a value
expressed in terms of kBTU/SF. This number can then be compared to other
buildings to see if it is average, higher or lower than similar buildings in the area.
Likewise, the Energy Cost Index (ECI) is the cost of all energy used by the
building expressed in $/SF of building area. Comparative values are shown in
Table 2 below.

Evaluation of energy consumption & benchmark data
As observed in Table 1 above, consumption of natural gas (NG) and electricity
held fairly consistent through 2009 and 2010. In a phone conversation with
Enstar, the NG provider, in May of 2012, the auditor was informed that this
building’s 2011 NG consumption was 30% higher than the 2010 consumption,
presumably due to the more severe 2011 winter.
Table 2 shows that the subject building’s energy use per square foot falls well
below a very similar building, the Spenard Recreation Center, and 17% below a
similar building, the Woodland Park School.
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 MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 8 of 54
Natural gas consumption:
All three of the buildings have a combination of offices, gymnasiums, game, craft
and multi-purpose rooms. The auditor also audited the Spenard Rec Center, and
having done so, believes that Spenard Rec Center’s NG consumption is
excessive, rather than the subject building’s consumption being unreasonably
low. See the detailed report for that building for additional detail.
Electrical consumption:
Based on Chart 1, the subject building’s lower electrical consumption falls
between the other two buildings, and appears to be not otherwise noteworthy.
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 (See Appendix D-3) but are not
considered to be justified or cost effective. The recommended EEM’s were
selected based on consideration from three perspectives: overall efficiency of
building management, reduction in energy consumption and return on
investment (ROI).
Efficient building management dictates, as an example: that all lights be
upgraded, that lamp inventory variations be minimized and that all appropriate
rooms have similar occupancy controls and setback thermostats - despite the
fact that a single or several rooms may have an unjustifiably long payback on
their individual lighting or controls upgrade.
Some of the summary EEM’s below contain individual EEM’s that are grouped
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
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 9 of 54
provide additional detail pertaining to each individual recommendation.
A.) REFRIGERATION & REFRIGERATED VENDING MACHINES
There is a full size residential type refrigerator, a refrigerated
beverage vending machine and a ¾ size upright freezer in this
building. It is recommended to replace the full size refrigerator and
the ¾ size freezer at their EOL with Energy Star versions, and to
add a VendingMiser (see www.vendingmiser.com) to the
refrigerated beverage vending machine. These EEM’s are found
in Appendix B-4 & 5.
Combined refrigeration EEM’s:
Estimated cost (incremental difference
for the freezer & refrigerator + VendingMiser) $ 400
Annual Savings $ 232
Payback 1.7 years
B.) SETBACK THERMOSTATS
The 12 rooftop gas-fired furnaces, and 2 gas fired unit heaters all
have low voltage, thermostats located in the zone served by the
furnace. It is recommended to replace each of them with a digital
model which has these capabilities (see Appendix E for sample):
- night time & unoccupied setbacks
- 7-day programming
- fan only, and fan + heat for periods of occupancy when
only ventilation is required, with indoor air quality
sensing (IAQ)
- temporary over-ride with reversion back to programmed
routine
Appendices B-1, 3 and 19 provide detail for this EEM.
Combined Setback Thermostat EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 4,000
Annual Savings $ 1,179
Payback 3.4 years
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 10 of 54
C.) DESKTOP COMPUTERS
Desktop PC’s consume between 200 and 300 watts when in use.
Laptops consume between 50 and 100 watts when in use. It is
recommended to replace the 46 desktop PC’s with laptops at their
EOL. The incremental difference in cost is estimated to be $200
each and although the payback is at or slightly beyond the life
expectancy of a laptop, the recommendation is still made.
Personal Computer EEM:
Estimated cost $ 9,200
Annual savings $ 1,631
Payback 5.6 years
D.) HVAC SYSTEM
It is recommended to add Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) to
the 15 HP fan motor in RTU-1 and 2 HP fan motor in RTU-9. See
Appendix D-3 for additional detail on VFD’s, and appendix B-15 for
more detail on cost and savings. If this EEM is implemented then
a motor upgrade (to premium efficiency) is NOT recommended for
the RTU-1 fan motor; see Appendix D-3.
HVAC VFD EEM:
Estimated cost $ 10,115
Annual savings $ 1,297
Payback 7.8 years
E.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS
The lighting in this building appears to have been replaced piece-
meal, and is in great need of a consistency upgrade. There are 13
different types of indoor fixtures requiring an inventory of 10
different lamps and bulbs. This creates a large bulb/lamp
inventory, requires purchase of small amounts of sometimes
difficult to procure bulbs and adds a significant labor requirement
to simply change a light bulb.
Energy Conservation & Consistency upgrade:
It is recommended to survey the light fixtures and re-lamp the
entire building with as few variations of bulbs and lamps as
possible. This is not recommended as an energy efficiency
measure, rather as a building operational efficiency measure (see
list of ECM’s at end of this section)
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 11 of 54
Lighting upgrade:
At the next building re-lamp, it is recommended to replace all 32
watt T8 lamps with 28 watt lamps. It is also recommended to add
occupancy sensors to all rooms, replace all halogen and
incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs and replace the few remaining
T12 fixtures with magnetic ballasts with T8 fixtures and high
efficiency electronic ballasts.
It is further recommended to replace the Metal Halide light fixtures
in the gymnasium with T5-54watt high output fixtures. This fixture
retrofit results in nominal savings, but when occupancy sensors
are added (as recommended), the T5 fixtures can be turned off
any time the gym is un-occupied (unlike the metal halide bulbs,
there is no re-strike delay) and there is a substantial energy
savings from this capability.
It is recommended to replace all exterior high intensity discharge
(HID) lighting (High Pressure Sodium, Mercury Vapor and Metal
Halide) with LED fixtures.
This EEM summarizes Appendix B-2 through 14, B-16 through 18,
B-20 through 22, and B-24 through 31. See Appendix E for more
information on occupancy sensors and energy saver 28 watt
lamps.
Combined Lighting Control EEM’s:
Estimated cost $ 86,520
Annual Savings $ 8,907
Payback 9.7 years
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 $ 110,235
Annual Savings (including
maintenance savings) $ 13,246
Simple payback 8.3 years
Does not include design or construction management costs
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 12 of 54
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.
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
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 MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 14 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 February 5th, 2012.
This is a single story building and a basement, totaling 29,951 square feet, as
calculated from plans. The first floor consists of a 7383 square foot gymnasium
and 16,535 square feet of offices, multi-purpose rooms, a commercial kitchen,
game rooms, arts & crafts rooms and various other common spaces. The
basement is configured into offices and meeting rooms totaling 6033 square
feet, it is used exclusively from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday while
the first floor is used from 7:00 am until 10:00 pm daily and from 8:00 am until
8:00 pm on Saturdays. For its size, the building has a relatively low occupancy,
with typically 75 youth going through the first floor daily and 15-20 staff and 10-
20 clients using the basement offices.
The basement of this building is constructed using 8” concrete masonry units
(CMU’s) with 3” of rigid foam on the exterior. The first floor, where not over the
basement, is constructed on a 4” reinforced concrete slab poured on grade.
Walls constructed in 1998 are 2x6 studs filled with R-19 batt. Where the original
walls exist (part of the south and west walls), they were firred out inside with 2x6
studs, also filled with R-19 batt. The roof is supported by steel trusses covered
with metal decking and 8” of rigid insulation with a nominal insulation value of R-
38.
Exterior walls are covered either with T-111 plywood siding or roofing shingles
(see photos Appendix A). Interior walls are either painted CMU in the basement
or gypsum on the first floor. All windows in this building are double pane vinyl
and in good condition. Overall, the building is in average condition.
Building details are as follows:
a. Heating, Cooling, Ventilation and Controls: Heat is
provided by (12) rooftop (RTU), gas fired furnaces that
provide heated ventilation to (12) zones. These RTU’s vary
in efficiency from 73% to 81%. They are controlled by local
zone low voltage thermostats – some of which are simple
digital models. (7) of the RTU’s have outside air/return air
(OSA/RA) mixing capability, which provides for some heat
recovery, the other (5) utilize 100% OSA. There is no cooling
in the building. There are also two gas fired unit heaters
which also have wall mounted thermostats. There is no
building-wide, integrated HVAC control system or separate
ventilation system.
b. Appliances: There is a residential type refrigerator, (2)
commercial reach-in refrigerators, a small residential freezer,
a commercial reach-in freezer, a 6-burner commercial gas
range with standing pilot lights, a large commercial gas fired
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 17 of 54
convection oven, a commercial dishwasher and double
warming oven. This building has 46 PC’s in use at various
times of day.
c. Plumbing Fixtures: This building contains a total of (13)
toilets, (5) urinals, (6) lavatory sinks, all with manual valves.
The toilets consume 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf), the urinals 1.0
gpf. See Appendix D-1 for EEM recommendations.
d. Domestic Hot Water: Hot water for sinks and the kitchen is
provided by a gas fired, 50 gallon hot water heater.
e. Interior Lighting & Controls: As previously mentioned, the
lighting in this building is entirely inconsistent and in need of
an upgrade. Room lighting generally consists of T8-32W
fixtures with electronic ballasts, although there are 98
recessed can lights with between 1 and 3 plug-in CFL lamps
per can, as well as low voltage and halogen lighting. The only
occupancy sensors in the building are located in the toilet
rooms. There are metal halide fixtures in the gymnasium.
Appendix B details the recommendation of a full lighting
upgrade. See Appendix E for additional information on
occupancy sensors. All exit signs in the building are either
LED or unlit, self luminous.
f. Exterior Lighting: There are (7) wall pack lights on the
exterior of this building, again with an inconsistent mixture of
HPS and MH lamps. The parking lot pole lights are HPS, the
soffit lights appear to be HPS-50.
g. Building Shell: The building shell is described earlier; it
appears to be in average condition inside and slightly below
average on its exterior.
h. Motors: There are 2 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,
neither was found to be justified, see Appendix D-3.
ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 18 of 54
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
$1.49/SF, the ECI for two very similar buildings, the Woodland Park School and
the Spenard Recreation Center, are $1.65 and $2.90 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 90 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010 EUI
for the Woodland Park School is 108 kBTU/SF and 187 kBTU/SF for the
Spenard Recreation Center. The average for “Places of Public Assembly”
buildings across the US is 89-102 kBTU/SF as logged by the US Energy
Information Administration. This source data can be viewed at:
www.eia.gov/emeu/efficiency/cbecstrends/cbecs_tables_list.htm.
6. Interactive Effects of Projects: The AkWarm-C program calculates savings
assuming that all recommended EEM are implemented in the order shown in
Appendix B. Appendix D EEM’s are not included in the AkWarm-C model
unless referred to in the Appendix B EEM as “see also Appendix D-X”; in these
cases, the EEM is included in the AkWarm-C calculations. If some EEMs are
not implemented, savings for the remaining EEMs will be affected, in some
cases positively, and in others, negatively.
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 MT VIEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER
May 10, 2012 Page 19 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.

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 toilets in this building are 1.6 gallons per flush with manual valves, they 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.

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 15 HP fan motor in RTU-1 and the 2 HP fan motor in AHU-9 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-15. 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.

Appendix D-3: Additional EEM’S considered but not recommended
De-Stratification Fans: There was a less than 1 F temperature difference between air at the
thermostats and the gymnasium ceiling, and the gym was unoccupied at the time of
measurement. This indicates that there would be no advantage resulting from the installation of
de-stratification fans.
Motor replacements with premium efficiency versions: There is insufficient annual operating
hours on the 15 HP elevator hydraulic motor to justify replacement with premium efficiency, now
or at EOL. The other large motor in the building, the 15 HP fan motor in RTU-1 has sufficient
hours to justify replacement at EOL, but only if EEM Appendix B-15 (Addition of a VFD on this
motor) is NOT implemented. If this EEM is implemented, replacement of RTU-1 fan motor is no
longer justified.
Replacement of RTU’s with high efficiency, condensing furnaces: The AkWarm-C model
was run a second time using RTU efficiencies of 94%. The total annual savings for all 12 RTU’s
was $930. There would also be some maintenance savings if all the RTU’s were replaced with
new, high efficiency models. This said, it is clear that this is not an economically justifiable
recommendation, therefore it is not recommended.
Replacement of gas fired hot water heater with high efficiency model: The AkWarm-C
model was re-run using a 98% efficient gas fired water heater. The annual savings was
computed to be $180/year. There would also be some maintenance savings if the hot water
heater were replaced with a new, high efficiency model. This said, it is clear that this is not an
economically justifiable recommendation, therefore it is not recommended.

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.
