This energy audit is intended to identify and recommend potential areas of energy savings, estimate the value of the savings and approximate the costs to implement the recommendations. Any modifications or changes made to a building to realize the savings must be designed and implemented by licensed, experienced professionals in their fields. Lighting recommendations should all be first analyzed through a thorough lighting analysis to assure that the recommended lighting upgrades will comply with State of Alaska Statute as well as Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations. Energy Audits of Alaska, LLC and Central Alaska Engineering Company bear no responsibility for work performed as a result of this report. Payback periods may vary from those forecasted due to the uncertainty of the final installed design, configuration, equipment selected, and installation costs of recommended Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs), or the operating schedules and maintenance provided by the owner. Furthermore, EEMs are typically interactive, so implementation of one EEM may impact the cost savings from another EEM. Neither the auditor, Central Alaska Engineering Company, AHFC, or any other party involved in preparation of this report accepts liability for financial loss due to EEMs that fail to meet the forecasted payback periods. This audit meets the criteria of an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) per the Association of Energy Engineers definition, and is valid for one year. The life of the IGA may be extended on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the AHFC. IGA’s are the property of the State, and may be incorporated into AkWarm-C, the Alaska Energy Data Inventory (ARIS), or other state and/or public information system. AkWarm-C is a building energy modeling software developed under contract by AHFC. This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy under Award Number DE-EE0000095. This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

Executive Summary Building Owner: Municipality of Anchorage 3640 East Tudor Anchorage, AK 99507 Building contact: Paul Vanlandingham General Foreman 907-343-8277 Client: Alaska Housing Finance Corporation P.O. Box 10120 Anchorage, AK 99510-1020 Contact: Rebekah Luhrs Energy Specialist 907-330-8141 rluhrs@ahfc.us Guidance to the reader: The Executive Summary is designed to contain all the information the building owner/operator should need to determine how the subject building’s energy efficiency compares with other similar use buildings, which energy improvements should be implemented, approximately how much they will cost and their estimated annual savings. Sections 2 through 7 of this report and the Appendices, are back-up and provide much more detailed information should the owner/operator, or their staff, desire to investigate further. This audit was performed using American Recovery and Reinvestment act (ARRA) funds to promote the use of innovation and technology to solve energy and environmental problems in a way that improves the State’s economy. The audit and this report are pre-requisites to access AHFC’s Retrofit Energy Assessment Loans (REAL) program, which is available to the building’s owner. The purpose of the energy audit is to identify cost-effective system and facility modifications, adjustments, alterations, additions and retrofits. Systems investigated during the audit included heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), interior and exterior lighting, motors, building envelope, and energy management control systems (EMCS). ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 6 of 60 The site visit to this building occurred on February 4th, 2012. This building houses offices used by street maintenance department dispatch personnel and a garage and shop used for maintenance and repair of street maintenance vehicles. The offices are located on two floors on the north side of the building while the shop occupies a single floor on the southern three quarters of the building. The building was constructed in 1977; there was a major remodel of the office portion in 2004. Energy Consumption and Benchmark Data Benchmark utility data for this building is inconsistent. Because of the missing and anomalous data, the most consistent12 consecutive months of data were used. This is the period from April 2009 through March 2010. It is summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below. Table 1   April 2009 ‐ Mar 2010    Consumption Cost  Electricity ‐ kWh 305,244 $     34,217  Natural Gas ‐ CCF 72,965 $     69,139  Total   $   103,356  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. Table 2 – Average EUI and ECI    Subject  Building  (April 2009 ‐  Mar 2010)  New Transit  Maintenance  Building  (Ave.  2009/2010)  Old Transit  Maintenance  Building and  Paratransit Admin  (Ave. 2009/2010)  Public  Order  and  Safety**  Energy Use Index (EUI) ‐  kBTU/SF 332 209 196 116  Energy Cost Index (ECI) ‐  $/SF $3.46  $3.00  $3.33  n/a  ** Data retrieved from the US Energy Administration database, these figures are for “Places of Public Order and Safety”, the most relevant category tracked by the USEA. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 7 of 60 Evaluation of energy consumption & benchmark data As observed in Table 2 above, the subject building’s energy use per square foot (EUI) is excessively high when compared with two very similar buildings, the New Transit Maintenance building and the Old Transit Maintenance building, while it’s energy cost per square foot (ECI) is only slightly higher. Both buildings are similar in use and function. The reasons for this apparent discrepancy between the differences in EUI & ECI can be observed in Chart 1 below. 90% of the subject buildings (excessive) consumed energy is in the form of NG, which is 1/5th cost per BTU of electricity, hence the ECI is much closer to the comparison buildings than the EUI. 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. Chart 1 Chart 1 shows the subject building’s gas and electrical EUI compared to the two other very similar use buildings in Anchorage. The chart shows clearly that this building has excessive NG consumption. Reasons and recommendations to rectify this are discussed now, and again later in this report. Natural gas consumption: Having audited all three buildings, the auditor believes that the subject building’s excessive NG consumption is a result of two factors: the large number of overhead door openings per day and the large number of overhead doors relative to the size of the building. These factors cause a huge amount of year round air infiltration. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Subject Building (April 2009‐March 2010) New Transit Maintenance Building (Average 2009/2010) Old Transit Maintenance Building and Paratransit Admin (Average 2009/2101) Natural Gas EUI Electrical EUI ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 8 of 60 Electrical consumption: Based on Chart 1, the subject building’s electrical consumption is very much in line with the two comparison buildings. 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 deemed to be justified or cost effective. The recommended EEM’s were selected based on consideration from three perspectives: overall efficiency of building management, reduction in energy consumption and return on investment (ROI). Efficient building management dictates, as an example: that all lights be upgraded, that lamp inventory variations be minimized and that all appropriate rooms have similar occupancy controls and setback thermostats - despite the fact that a single or several rooms may have an unjustifiably long payback on their individual lighting or controls upgrade. Some of the summary EEM’s below contain individual EEM’s that are grouped 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. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 9 of 60 A.) REFRIGERATION & REFRIGERATED VENDING MACHINES There is one refrigerated beverage vending machine and one full size residential type refrigerator in this facility. It is recommended to add a refrigerated vending energy management device such as the VendingMiser (www.vendingmiser.com) to the vending machine and at EOL, to replace the refrigerator with an Energy Star Model. A VendingMiser saves an estimated 46% of energy costs by cycling the machine during periods of non-use. These EEM’s are found in Appendix B-3 & B-7, and additional detail is found in Appendix E. Combined refrigeration EEM’s: Estimated cost (incremental difference for the refrigerator + VendingMiser) $ 475 Annual Savings $ 274 Payback 1.7 years B.) HVAC SYSTEM & AIR INFILTRATION Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): To maintain vehicle bay air quality and eliminate carbon monoxide build up, this building was designed with large exhaust fans (EF) interlocked to a large gas fired make up air (MAU) furnace. These units, according to onsite personnel, are not generally used. It was observed during the audit, that the overhead doors were generally left open, presumably to maintain IAQ, while one of the EF’s and also the MAU controllers were in the “off” position. It is believed that the excessive NG use in this facility (see Chart 1) is a result the duration and frequency of overhead door openings, and the resulting air infiltration. This is estimated to cost over $35,000 annually. Install air curtains to reduce Air Infiltration An air curtain installed at the top of an overhead door prevents up to 80% of the air infiltration that would normally occur with a door opening. This is achieved by directing a focused air stream through the door opening down to the floor. A two-step recommendation is made: It is recommended to install air curtains in the 12 overhead door openings, and interlock their control to the door switch. Estimated cost is $96,000, see Appendix B-6. It is further recommended to utilize the existing exhaust fans and make up air after the air curtains are installed, to address carbon monoxide build up. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 10 of 60 Exhaust fans and make up air versus air scrubbers After installation of the air curtains, NG and electrical usage by the EF’s and MAU should be measured via temporary data acquisition devices. Based on the levels of NG and electrical consumption, a further recommendation should be considered to replace the EF’s and MAU with air scrubbers similar to those used in MOA Fire Stations 11 and 12. See Appendix D-4 and Appendix E for additional detail on air curtains, air scrubbers and temporary data acquisition devices. 7-day programmable thermostats Recognizing the nearly continuous occupancy of the office spaces in this building, it is recommended to install 7-day programmable thermostats to control the office hydronics and AHU-1. These thermostats can be programmed to utilize unoccupied setback temperatures during the infrequent periods during a typical week when the offices are not occupied (see Appendix E for sample specifications). Estimated cost for a unit installed is $1000 and based on plans, 4 units would be required. See Appendix B-1 for additional detail. Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) It is recommended to retrofit a VFD on the fan motor in AHU-1. See Appendix D-6 and B-4 for additional detail. Combined HVAC EEM’s: Estimated cost $103,395 Annual savings $ 37,487 Payback 2.8 years C.) PERSONAL COMPUTERS There are 22 PC’s with monitors in this building, and an additional 7 more monitors. It is recommended to replace these PC’s with laptops at their EOL A laptop will use approximately 50% of the energy a desktop PC uses, and the incremental cost is $200 each. See Appendix B-12. This recommendation is made recognizing that the 4.7 year payback is very close to or exceeds the life of many laptops. PC replacement at EOL, EEM: Estimated cost $ 4,400 Annual Savings $ 929 Payback 4.7 years ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 11 of 60 D.) LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS With the exception of the building exterior and vehicle bay, the lighting in this building was almost entirely upgraded in 2004. At the next re-lamp of the building, all T8-32 watt lamps should be replaced with T8-28 watt energy saver lamps and the remaining T12 fixtures with magnetic ballasts should be replaced with T8-28 watt fixtures with high efficiency electronic ballasts. All exterior lighting should be replaced with LED lamps and all rooms in the building should have occupancy sensors installed. The vehicle bay should have high bay, T5-54watt high output fixtures installed, with ceiling mounted, zoned occupancy sensors so that only the row or section of lighting above the occupant is lit. This EEM summarizes Appendix B-2, 5, 8 through 11, and B-14 through 17. See Appendix E for more information on occupancy sensors and 28 watt energy saver T8 lamps. Combined Lighting Control EEM’s: Estimated cost $144,711 Annual Savings $ 18,682 Payback 7.7 years E.) HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHERS The typical life of a gas fired steam pressure washer is approximately 10 years. The unit in this building is estimated to be 8 years old. Today’s versions produce the same number of gallons per minute using 15% less natural gas. Additionally, maintenance costs start to increase as the unit ages. It is recommended to replace this unit with a new, higher efficiency version at its EOL. There is no incremental cost for the higher efficiency version and there is an estimated annual energy savings of $689 (as calculated by AkWarm-C) and maintenance savings of $500. See Appendix B-13 and D-2 for detail. Pressure Washer EEM: Estimated incremental cost $ 0 (for budgetary purposes, estimated purchase cost is $11,000) Annual energy savings $ 682 Annual maintenance savings $ 500 Payback n/a ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 12 of 60 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     $ 252,981  Annual Savings    $   58,052  Simple payback       4.5 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 computers, printers, faxes, etc. and lights when leaving the office. 2. All man-doors, roll-up doors and windows should be properly maintained and adjusted to close and function properly. 3. Re-configure building occupants to group un-occupied offices (i.e. no tenant or staff using the space), rooms and spaces into the same HVAC zone so that zone’s energy consumption can be set back to minimal levels. 4. 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. 5. 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. 3000K) 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.

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 NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 14 of 60 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.

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 16 of 60 4. Building Description and Function: The site visit and survey of subject building occurred on February 4th, 2012. The ambient outside air temperature was 22.9 F. This metal building has a two story section of offices in its north end used by dispatch and administrative staff. The south end of the building is high bay vehicle maintenance, repair and storage. The offices house a small kitchen as well as storage and mechanical rooms. The offices make up 8400 square feet and the shop 16,800 square feet for a total building size of 25,670 as calculated from plans. This building is constructed on a 6” reinforced concrete slab poured on grade. A steel girder and beam structure supports the walls and roof, each is filled with spray-in foam approximately 8” thick. The insulation value as calculated by AkWarm-C is R-42.4 for the walls and R-48.9 for the roof. The interior walls and ceiling in the offices are finished with gypsum, as is the ceiling in the shop. The lower portion of the shop walls is finished with corrugated metal, the upper portion with gypsum. All windows in this building appear to be original 1977 construction, are double pane aluminum and in average condition. The interior of the offices is in excellent condition while the shop and building exterior is in average condition. Building details are as follows: a. Heating, Cooling, Ventilation and Controls: Heat is provided to the offices by a gas fired boiler via hydronic finned tube baseboard radiators, several unit heaters and the heating coil in the single, constant volume air handling unit (AHU-1). Heated make up air is provided by a gas fired Rupp furnace located in the shop. This furnace is interlocked to the shop exhaust fans but none appear to be in use, and the two visible controllers were in the “off” position. There is no cooling in the building. All hydronics and AHU-1 ventilation are controlled by local, low voltage thermostats. The unit heaters have wall mounted thermostats controlling the fan and fluid valve. There is not a building-wide, integrated HVAC control system. Vehicle bay: The HVAC design for this space apparently called for heat to be provided by (5) gas fired, 300 MBH, ceiling mounted unit heaters. Ventilation and IAQ appears to have been managed by the aforementioned exhaust fans and gas fired MAU. The frequency and duration of open overhead doors appears to provide enough fresh air to overcome any ventilation or IAQ issues. (albeit, at a very high cost) ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 17 of 60 Energy Recovery: There does not appear to be any energy recovery in this facility. b. Appliances: There is one residential type refrigerator, an electric range/oven unit, a dishwasher and two microwaves in the small kitchenette in this building. This building has 22 PC’s in use; it is generally recommended to replace desktop PC’s with laptops at EOL. c. Plumbing Fixtures: This building contains a total of (6) toilets, (4) urinals, (5) lavatory sinks and (1) shower. All have manual valves. The toilets consume 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf), the urinals 1.0 gpf and the shower heads appear to have a 2.6 gallons per minute (gpm) flow rate. See Appendix D-1 for EEM recommendations. d. Domestic Hot Water: Hot water for sinks and showers is provided by an indirect hot water generator supplied by the boiler. e. Interior Lighting & Controls: There does not appear to have been any lighting upgrades in the shop since the building was constructed in 1977. The office lighting was renovated and upgraded in 2004. Office lighting generally consists of T8- 32W fixtures with electronic ballasts, shop lighting is a combination of 400W metal halide (MH) pendants and T8-32 watt fixtures. All exit signs in the building are either LED or unlit, self-luminous. There are no occupancy sensors in the building. Appendix B details the recommendation of a full lighting upgrade. See Appendix E for additional information on occupancy sensors. f. Exterior Lighting: There are (19) wall pack lights on the exterior of this building; (16) that appear to use 250 watt MH bulbs and one using a 1000 watt MH bulb and (2) high pressure sodium (HPS) 35 watt soffit lights. g. Building Shell: The building shell is described earlier. 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 in Appendix D-6. 5. Historic Energy Consumption: Energy consumption is modeled within the AkWarm-C program. The program typically analyzes twelve months of data. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 18 of 60 Typically, two year’s worth of natural gas and electricity consumption are averaged then input into AKWarm-C. In the case of this building, 12 months of NG usage was used, and 24 months (averaged) of electrical data was used. 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 $3.46/SF, the ECI for two very similar buildings, the New Transit Maintenance Building and the Old Transit Maintenance building, are $3.00 and $3.33 respectively. The energy use index (EUI) is the total annual average electrical and heating energy consumption expressed in thousands of BTU/SF. The EUI for this building is 332 kBTU/SF; the average 2009/2010 EUI for the New Transit Maintenance building is 209 kBTU/SF and 196 kBTU/SF for the New Transit Maintenance building. The average for Public Order and Safety buildings across the US is 116 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 ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 19 of 60 enacted by the Alaska Sustainable Energy Act (senate Bill 220, A.S. 18.56.855, “Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Fund). The AEERLF will provide loans for energy efficiency retrofits to public facilities via the Retrofit Energy Assessment for Loan System (REAL).

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 36 of 60 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 in this building already have proximity sending on/off valves. Urinals should have proximity sensing on/off controls as well. 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. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 37 of 60 Appendix D-2: : Upgrade Hot Water Pressure Washers The Hotsy 5732 gas fired hot water pressure washer in the steam clean bay is estimated to be in use an average of 23 hrs/week, 50 weeks/year. At 657,000 BTU/hr, its annual consumption is 755 MMBTU. This machine consumes an estimated $6,060/year of natural gas – nearly 10% of the entire building’s usage. A European pressure washer manufacturer (Karcher, who also owns the 2 largest US manufacturers, Hotsy and Landa) has developed a “down draft double pass” burner system reported to be twice as efficient as Hotsy or Landa burners, but the machine is only set up for 50Hz operation and is not available in the US yet. That said, today’s systems are still 15% more efficient than the units in this building, and the unit in this building are at, or nearing the end of its 10 year life. It is recommended to replace this unit at its EOL with a new, higher efficiency version. Since the only machines available today are high efficiency versions, there is no incremental cost to purchase the higher efficiency version. For budgetary purposes, the estimated replacement cost is $11,000. This EEM is found in Appendix B-13. Incremental replacement cost at EOL $ 0 Annual energy savings (calculated by AkWarm-C) $ 689 Annual maintenance costs $ 500 Payback n/a Appendix D-3 EEM’S considered but not recommended Variable frequency drives (VFD): Motors considered for VFD’s included the 5 HP and 10 HP fan motors in AHU-1 and MAU-1. The AHU-2 fan motor is recommended to receive a VFD; the Rupp MAU would be recommended if it was in use. The compressor motors are not suited for VFD’s due to their constant speed and infrequent use. Set back thermostats: The round-the-clock usage of this building precludes the use of night time temperature setbacks. Instead, a 7-day programmable thermostat can be utilized to set back temperatures during the weekend and summer hours when the building is not in use 24/7. This is recommended as an ECM in the executive summary and in Appendix B-1; the estimated cost is $1000 each for two to four units – one or two controlling the office hydronics and the third and fourth controlling AHU-1. ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 38 of 60 Appendix D-4: HVAC System, Setback Thermostats, Ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) and Vehicle Exhaust Ventilation and IAQ: To maintain vehicle bay air quality and eliminate carbon monoxide build up, this building was designed with large exhaust fans interlocked to a large gas fired make up air furnace. These units, according to onsite personnel, are not generally used. It was observed during the audit, that the overhead doors were generally left open, presumably to maintain IAQ. It is believed that the excessive NG use in this facility (see Chart 1) is a result of overhead door opening duration and frequency. This is estimated to cost over $35,000 annually. Install air curtains A two-step recommendation is made: It is recommended to install air curtains (see Appendix E for sample specifications) at each overhead door and to utilize the existing exhaust fans and make up air. See Appendix B-5. Exhaust fans and make up air versus air scrubbers After installation of the air curtains, NG and electrical usage by the EF’s and MAU should be measured via temporary data acquisition devices (see Appendix E for sample specifications). Based on the levels of NG and electrical consumption, a further recommendation should be considered to replace the EF’s and MAU with air scrubbers similar to those used in MOA Fire Stations 11 and 12. 7-day programmable thermostats Recognizing the nearly continuous occupancy of the office spaces in this building, it is recommended to install 7-day programmable thermostats to control the office hydronics and AHU-1. These thermostats can be programmed to utilize unoccupied setback temperatures during the infrequent periods when the offices are not occupied (see Appendix E for sample specifications). Estimated cost for a unit installed is $1000, based on plans, 3 or 4 units would be required. See Appendix B-1 for additional detail.

ENERGY AUDITS OF ALASKA NORTHWOOD STREET MAINTENANCE BUILDING May 15, 2012 Page 40 of 60 Appendix D-6: Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) If outfitted with a VFD with a programmable input device (PID) which responds to a process parameter such as duct pressure for an AHU or suction or discharge pressure on a pump, a motor has the capability to only produce enough power to meet the demand. There is tremendous savings potential resulting from the relationship between motor load required and resulting fluid or air flow (Affinity Laws). As an example, if 100% of the air flow requires 100% motor’s horsepower, the Affinity laws state that 70% of air (or fluid) flow requires only 34% of the horsepower. By necessity, fan motors and pumps have to be sized for the worst case load scenario, but under normal operating conditions (80-90% of the time), need only be operating at 30%-70% of their full load. VFD’s are recommended for larger, 3-phase motors that are under varying load and duty cycles, such as air handlers, glycol circulation pumps and reciprocating compressor motors. The 5 HP supply fan motor in AHU-1 in this building is recommended to be retro- fitted with a VFD. This motor load and consumption was evaluated using software called, “Energy Predictor”, provided by Yaskawa, a manufacturer of VFD’s; excerpts from the detailed software reports are found below. A 69% reduction in electrical consumption is predicted by the Yaskawa software for the AHU-1 supply fan motor; the figure was input into AkWarm-C as a reduction in power consumption in the ventilation worksheet; the resulting savings are included in Appendix B-4. 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.

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.
