1 Energy Audit (March 2012)
Section 1
Executive Summary
An energy audit of the Mt Edgecumbe High School Cafeteria was performed by Alaska Energy
Engineering LLC. The investment grade audit was funded by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation
(AHFC) to identify opportunities to improve the energy performance of public buildings throughout
Alaska.
Mt Edgecumbe High School Cafeteria is a 16,790 square foot building that contains commons,
offices, classrooms, dining facilities, kitchen, restrooms, storage, and mechanical support spaces.
Building Assessment
The following summarizes our assessment of the building.
Envelope
The building envelope of the cafeteria building was inspected for energy efficiency opportunities. The
windows have been recently upgraded from single pane to more efficient double pane units.
However, the majority of the building is concrete and much heat is still unnecessarily lost through the
floor and walls. Envelope issues encountered during the audit include:
Crawlspace: The crawlspace is a ventilated, cold space with a relatively high ceiling – averaging
an estimated 6’ in height. The floor above is poured concrete with no insulation on the underside.
We estimate that the main floor has an insulation rating of R-1; R-30 is optimal. The crawlspace
has numerous ventilation louvers and six ventilation fans to supply outside air to control
humidity. There are serious drainage issues due to a steady flow of surface water under the
building. As a result, the crawlspace should continue to be ventilated and the floor above
insulated to reduce heat loss. Recommendations for insulating the floor are included in Section 3,
Energy Efficiency Measure (EEM-9).
Walls: There is no insulation in the exterior walls. The majority of the building is constructed
with solid concrete walls which have an estimated insulation rating of R-; R-26 is optimal. A
portion of the walls at the north end of the building were constructed with uninsulated wood
framed walls, and we estimate that they have an insulation rating of R-5; R-26 is optimal.
Recommendations for exterior walls are found in EEMs-11 and 15.
Attic: A large portion of the attic is uninsulated. The concrete floor in the cold attic space is the
concrete ceiling of the kitchen area. The estimated insulation value for this attic floor is R-1; R-46
is optimal. As a result a significant amount of heat is lost. We recommend that the floor be
insulated (EEM-6).
Windows: There is a single pane window in Dishwashing Room 108 and two windows above the
east side double doors that were not upgraded as part of the 2005 window replacement project.
Replacement of these windows is recommended (EEM-13).

Cafeteria (Bldg 290)
2 Energy Audit (March 2012)
Freezer Corridor Doors: The double doors between the kitchen and the freezer corridor are
heavily used and often left open to facilitate moving food carts between spaces. The freezer
corridor is uninsulated and remains near outside temperatures, which results in an uncontrolled
heat loss to this space. Installation of door closures that isolate the warm kitchen from the cold
corridor are recommended (EEM-13).
Exterior Doors: Exterior doors are not thermally broken. Future exterior door replacement
selection should include this feature. Weather stripping is in poor condition on many of the doors
and should be replaced (EEM-1).
Heating System
The building is heated by a central boiler system that distributes heat to many of the campus
buildings. Within the building, two pumps operate in a lead/standby sequence to distribute hydronic
heating water to the heating units. A separate circulation pump supplies the heat recovery unit heating
coils. Energy efficiency issues/opportunities with the heating system include:
The heating system cannot be turned off in the summer because cooling the system leads to
significant leakage when the piping cools.
Excessive air leakage of the pneumatic control system is resulting in an unacceptable amount of
run time on the air compressor. The 2 HP air compressor motor is currently cycling on for two
minutes and then off for only two minutes before restarting. System pressure is being controlled
from 75 psi to 90 psi. In addition to the large energy demand this is creating, it is significantly
shortening the life of the air compressor unit.
The separate pump for the heat recovery units is not needed. With recent improvements to the
building envelope, the building pumps are likely capable of supplying all the heating loads.
The heating system is in good condition; however fairly simple improvements can be made to
improve its effectiveness and efficiency. These are outlined in Section 3, Energy Efficiency
Measures.
Ventilation Systems
The building has a heat recovery unit (HRU-1) for the kitchen hood, another (HRU-2) for the
dishwasher hood, and an air handling unit (AHU-1) for the first floor classroom. Due to the excessive
noise it generates, AHU-1 is not operated.
The grease-laden exhaust air from the kitchen hood has reduced the effectiveness of the heat recovery
cell in the unit. A thorough cleaning and degreasing of the coil will improve its efficiency.
The ventilation strategy for the kitchen and dining hall is poor. There is no ventilation air being
supplied to the dining hall and the kitchen supplies are short-circuiting directly to the exhaust hoods
without providing good cross-flow through the building. CO2 levels in the dining hall after lunch
showed levels of 1,300 to 1,400 ppm of CO2, well above the recommended maximum of 800-1000
ppm. The supply diffusers for HRU-1 and HRU-2 should be relocated to create good cross-flow to
improve indoor air quality and moisture and odor control.
The kitchen is open from 6am to 6pm. The main kitchen cooking hood (HRU-1) operates
approximately four hours per day, during the main meals. It currently supplies 4,500 cfm within the
kitchen space near the exhaust hood, which only ventilates the kitchen space. Relocating the supply
diffusers to deliver the supply air to the far side of the dining hall will properly ventilate this densely
occupied space.
Mount Edgecumbe High School
Cafeteria (Bldg 290)
3 Energy Audit (March 2012)
The dishwasher ventilation hood (HRU-2) operates when the kitchen is open, approximately 12 hours
per day. It currently supplies 1,000 cfm to the adjacent dishwashing space. Air quality in the kitchen
will be improved if the supply air diffuser for HRU-2 is relocated to the furthest end of the kitchen so
there is good cross-flow of ventilation air through the kitchen during the eight hours each day that the
kitchen is open and the main cooking hood (HRU-1) is not operated.
Lighting
Most of the interior lighting consists of less-efficient T-12 fluorescent fixtures. If the lighting is
upgraded to newer, more efficient lighting fixtures, this will reduce the amount of heat generated by
the lighting. This heat must be made-up by the boiler, which increases fuel oil consumption. Because
the additional heat produced by the T12 fluorescent fixtures is beneficial within the building
envelope, we recommend that maintenance staff continue the practice of replacing the T12 fixtures
with more efficient T8 fixtures only as the ballasts fail.
Exterior lighting consists primarily of high pressure sodium lighting and is controlled by photocells.
Maintenance staff has been replacing high pressure sodium lamps, when they fail, with more efficient
compact fluorescent lamps. This practice should be continued on the exterior lighting of the cafeteria
building.
Summary
The overall energy consumption of Mt Edgecumbe High School Cafeteria is 155 kBtu/sqft, which is
more than double the energy consumption of an average school building. This higher energy use rate
can be directly attributed to the kitchen energy consumption and the lack of insulation around the
entire building envelope.
Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs)
All buildings have opportunities to improve their energy efficiency. The energy audit revealed
numerous opportunities in which an efficiency investment will result in a net reduction in long-term
operating costs.
Behavioral and Operational EEMs
The following EEMs require behavioral and operational changes in the building use. The savings are
not readily quantifiable but these EEMs are highly recommended as low-cost opportunities that are a
standard of high performance buildings.
EEM-1: Weather-strip Doors
EEM-2: Remove Ventilation Fans and Insulate
EEM-3: Close Doors to Freezer Hall

High and Medium Priority EEMs
The following EEMs are recommended for investment. They are ranked by life cycle savings to
investment ratio (SIR). This ranking method places a priority on low cost EEMs which can be
immediately funded, generating energy savings to fund higher cost EEMs in the following years.
Negative values, in parenthesis, represent savings.

Totals* $582,000 ($1,500) ($1,198,400) ($617,900) 2.1
*The analysis is based on each EEM being independent of the others. While it is likely that some
EEMs are interrelated, an isolated analysis is used to demonstrate the economics because the audit
team is not able to predict which EEMs an Owner may choose to implement. If several EEMs are
implemented, the resulting energy savings is likely to differ from the sum of each EEM projection.
Summary
The energy audit revealed numerous opportunities for improving the energy performance of the
building. It is recommended that the behavioral and high priority EEMs be implemented now to
generate energy savings from which to fund the medium priority EEMs.
Another avenue to consider is to borrow money from AHFCs revolving loan fund for public
buildings. AHFC will loan money for energy improvements under terms that allow for paying back
the money from the energy savings. More information on this option can be found online at

6 Energy Audit (March 2012)
Energy Consumption
The building energy sources are fuel oil for heating loads and electricity for all other loads. The
following table shows annual energy use and cost.
Annual Energy Consumption and Cost
Source Consumption Cost Energy, MMBtu
Electricity 193,700 kWh $23,000 700 27%
Fuel Oil* 14,260 Gallons $49,600 1,900 73%
Totals $72,600 2,600 100%
Electricity
This chart shows electrical energy use
from 2008 to 2011. The data is not
representative of actual use and building
operations. The utility confirmed that the
data was incorrect. Interestingly, the
billings during this period were
remarkably consistent. The utility did not
provide information on how the bills were
calculated from admitted bad data.
The electric meter was replaced in December 2010. The data in 2011 appears to be representative of
the building use. The effective cost—energy costs plus demand charges—is 12.0¢ per kWh.
Fuel Oil*
The building is heated by a central fuel-oil boiler system that provides heat to multiple campus
buildings via an utilidor system. The heat is not metered and was calculated to be equivalent to
14,260 gallons during a recent heating system analysis.
Cost of Heat Comparison
This chart shows a comparison of the current cost
of fuel oil heat, electric resistance heat, and heat
pump heat. The comparison is based on a fuel oil
conversion efficiency of 70% and an electric
boiler conversion efficiency of 95%. The cost of
heat is essentially equal for the two energy
sources.

Section 3
Energy Efficiency Measures
The following energy efficiency measures (EEMs) were identified during the energy audit. The
EEMs are priority ranked and, where applicable, subjected to energy and life cycle cost analysis.
Appendix A contains the energy and life cycle cost analysis spreadsheets.
The EEMs are grouped into the following prioritized categories:
Behavioral or Operational: EEMs that require minimal capital investment but require
operational or behavioral changes. The EEMs provide a life cycle savings but an analysis is not
performed because the guaranteed energy savings is difficult quantify.
High Priority: EEMs that require a small capital investment and offer a life cycle savings. Also
included in this category are higher cost EEMs that offer significant life cycle savings.
Medium Priority: EEMs that require a significant capital investment to provide a life cycle
savings. Many medium priority EEMs provide a high life cycle savings and offer substantial
incentive to increase investment in building energy efficiency.
Low Priority: EEMs that will save energy but do not provide a life cycle savings.
BEHAVIORAL OR OPERATIONAL
The following EEMs are recommended for implementation. They require behavioral or operational
changes that can occur with minimal investment to achieve immediate savings. These EEMs are not
easily quantified by analysis because they cannot be accurately predicted. They are recommended
because they offer a life cycle savings, represent good practice, and are accepted features of high
performance buildings.
EEM-1: Weather-strip Doors
Purpose: The exterior doors do not seal well and are missing weather stripping in places. Energy
will be saved if all doors are properly weather-stripped to reduce infiltration and adjusted
to ensure they are firmly closed.
Scope: Replace weather stripping on exterior doors and adjust as necessary to ensure complete
closure.
EEM-2: Remove Ventilation Fans and Insulate
Purpose: An 18” x 18” diameter ventilation fan above the top of the basement stairs, and a 2’ x 2’
ventilation fan in Storage 121 are no longer in use. Energy will be saved if these fans are
removed and the wall cavities are properly sealed and insulated.
Scope: Remove the two unused fans and properly seal and insulate the wall cavities.

Cafeteria (Bldg 290)
8 Energy Audit (March 2012)
EEM-3: Close Doors to Freezer Hall
Purpose: The doors between the kitchen prep area and the freezer hallway are often left open. This
occurs so staff can move heavy carts through the doorway. Unfortunately, the freezer
corridor is uninsulated and remains near outside temperatures, which results in an
uncontrolled heat loss to this space. Energy will be saved if the doors are kept closed
between cart movements.
Scope: Keep the doors to the freezer corridor closed to reduce heat loss.
HIGH PRIORITY
The following EEMs are recommended for implementation because they are low cost measures that
have a high savings to investment ratio. The EEMs are listed from highest to lowest priority. Negative
values, in parenthesis, represent savings.
EEM-4: Install Programmable Thermostat
Purpose: Classroom 203 is heated by perimeter baseboard heating units. The heaters are controlled
from a single setpoint thermostat. Energy will be saved if a programmable thermostat is
installed to provide a night setback capability.
Scope: Install a programmable thermostat in Classroom 203 with night setback capability.

EEM-15: Insulate Exterior Wood Framed Wall
Purpose: Approximately 25% of the cafeteria is constructed with uninsulated wood framed walls.
The walls have an R-5 thermal resistance; R-26 is optimal. Energy will be saved if 4” of
rigid insulation and a siding material is applied over the walls.
The addition of wall insulation will reduce leakage through the walls. It will be necessary
to ventilate the spaces to control humidity so the moisture does not move into the walls
and cause mold and rot issues.
Scope: Install 4” of rigid insulation and siding over the uninsulated wood framed walls. Install a
ventilation system in the fan room to service the associated spaces.
While a ventilation system is essential to maintaining a healthy building, the added
ventilation energy makes this a healthy building issue, not an energy efficiency measure.

14 Energy Audit (March 2012)
Section 5
Methodology
Information for the energy audit was gathered through on-site observations, review of construction
documents, and interviews with operation and maintenance personnel. The EEMs are evaluated using
energy and life cycle cost analyses and are priority ranked for implementation.
Energy Efficiency Measures
Energy efficiency measures are identified by evaluating the building’s energy systems and comparing
them to systems in modern, high performance buildings. The process for identifying the EEMs
acknowledges the realities of an existing building that was constructed when energy costs were much
lower. Many of the opportunities used in modern high performance buildings—highly insulated
envelopes, variable capacity mechanical systems, heat pumps, daylighting, lighting controls, etc.—
simply cannot be economically incorporated into an existing building.
The EEMs represent practical measures to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings, taking into
account the realities of limited budgets. If a future major renovation project occurs, additional EEMs
common to high performance buildings should be incorporated.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
The EEMs are evaluated using life cycle cost analysis which determines if an energy efficiency
investment will provide a savings over a 25-year life. The analysis incorporates construction,
replacement, maintenance, repair, and energy costs to determine the total cost over the life of the
EEM. Future maintenance and energy cash flows are discounted to present worth using escalation
factors for general inflation, energy inflation, and the value of money. The methodology is based on
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 135 – Life Cycle Cost
Analysis.
Life cycle cost analysis is preferred to simple payback for facilities that have long—often perpetual—
service lives. Simple payback, which compares construction cost and present energy cost, is
reasonable for short time periods of 2-4 years, but yields below optimal results over longer periods
because it does not properly account for the time value of money or inflationary effects on operating
budgets. Accounting for energy inflation and the time value of money properly sums the true cost of
facility ownership and seeks to minimize the life cycle cost.
Construction Costs
The cost estimates are derived based on a preliminary understanding of the scope of each EEM as
gathered during the walk-through audit. The construction costs for in-house labor are $60 per hour for
work typically performed by maintenance staff and $110 per hour for contract labor.
The cost estimate assumes the work will be performed as part of a larger renovation or energy
efficiency upgrade project. When implementing EEMs, the cost estimate should be revisited once the
scope and preferred method of performing the work has been determined. It is possible some EEMs
will not provide a life cycle savings when the scope is finalized.

Maintenance Costs
Maintenance costs are based on in-house or contract labor using historical maintenance efforts and
industry standards. Maintenance costs over the 25-year life of each EEM are included in the life cycle
cost calculation spreadsheets and represent the level of effort to maintain the systems.
Energy Analysis
The energy performance of an EEM is evaluated within the operating parameters of the building. A
comprehensive energy audit would rely on a computer model of the building to integrate building
energy systems and evaluate the energy savings of each EEM. This investment grade audit does not
utilize a computer model, so energy savings are calculated with factors that account for the dynamic
operation of the building. Energy savings and costs are estimated for the 25-year life of the EEM
using appropriate factors for energy inflation.
Prioritization
Each EEM is prioritized based on the life cycle savings to investment ratio (SIR) using the following
formula:
Prioritization Factor = Life Cycle Savings / Capital Costs
This approach factor puts significant weight on the capital cost of an EEM, making lower cost EEMs
more favorable.
Economic Factors
The following economic factors are significant to the findings.
Nominal Interest Rate: This is the nominal rate of return on an investment without regard to inflation.
The analysis uses a rate of 5%.
Inflation Rate: This is the average inflationary change in prices over time. The analysis uses an
inflation rate of 2%.
Economic Period: The analysis is based on a 25-year economic period with construction beginning in
2010.
Fuel Oil
Fuel oil is currently supplied at a price of $3.48 per gallon. Fuel oil inflation historically averaged 6%
per year prior to the rapid escalation and de-escalation of prices over the past five years. The analysis
assumes the fuel oil inflation will once again continue to inflate at 6% per year.
Electricity
Electricity is supplied by the CBS Electric Department. Power generation facilities include Blue Lake
Hydro, Green Lake Hydro, and the Jarvis Street diesel plant. In 2008, the hydroelectric plants
generated 97.6% of the electricity with diesel supplementation of the remaining amount.
The building is billed under the General Services Rate, which charges for both electrical consumption
(kWh) and peak electric demand (kW). Electrical consumption is the amount of energy consumed and
electric demand is the rate of consumption. Electric demand is determined by averaging demand over
a continuously sliding fifteen-minute window. The highest fifteen-minute average during the billing
period determines the peak demand. The following table lists the current electric charges:

First 25 kW No charge
Over 25 kW $3.90
Over recent history, Sitka’s electricity inflation has been low, lagging general inflation. Even the
diesel supplementation of recent years has not resulted in a rate increase.
To reduce diesel supplementation, planning and preliminary design work is in progress to expand
Blue Lake Hydro to its maximum capacity. That expansion will include raising the dam by as much
as 83 feet, increasing power production of Blue Lake by over 50%. The Blue Lake project will be
funded by 30-year bonds at market rate. The utility’s existing debt will be refinanced so the Blue
Lake expansion will have a limited impact on rates over the next 20 years. However it is prudent to
plan for nominal electric inflation of 1% per year.
Even with the Blue Lake expansion, electric heating loads are likely to continue to place demands on
the hydroelectric generation facilities. Energy balance reports for Southeast Alaska communities
show that heating loads are 175% greater than the non-heating load. While most of the heating load is
currently met with fuel oil, only a small percentage of this large potential load needs to convert to
electricity to place demands on the electric grid. In essence, future electricity prices may be tied to
fuel oil inflation. The life cycle cost analysis uses an electric inflation of 3%, which is higher than
current predictions, to account for the impacts of future fuel oil to electric heat conversions.
