Heat recovery from the power plant to the near by water plant was in the original design for the new power plant. As construc tion progressed some complications arose, funding ran out and the heat recovery system between the two buildings was never completed. Fuel use and cost for the water plant / washeteria was substantial and with the spiked high costs of fuel in 2008 the cost of fuel was jeopardizing the ability of the Native Village to keep the water plant on -line. Starting in 2007 and up through September, 2008 when the project was completed, ABSN Project Manager Geoff Butler coordinated with ANTHC Remote Maintenance Worker, Bruce Werba and Senior Power Plant and Water Plant Operator for the Native Village of Crooked Creek, Tom Parent for this retrofit. According to Tom Parent who has been responsible for fueling the operations of the water plant / washeteria for more than a decade, pre-retrofit the water plant used 3,800 - 4,000 gallons of fuel annually on average. From past similar heat recovery projects, Bruce Werba stated he expects to see an 80% fuel savings from the measure. The current fuel use goes to heating water loops circulating around the village for household water/plumbing, as well as all the heat required for the washeteria washers and dryers. Additionally the heat recovery will provide heat to bring up the ground water temperature before water treatment and distribution for a 3,000 gallon water tank. The measure is expected to save the Native Village around 3,000 gallons of fuel annually which at an average of say $3.19/gallon equates to $9,570 in savings annually. At that rate the project will pay for itself in under 5 years. At higher fuel prices, which is likely, the payback will be more rapid. AEA grant funds covered approximately 10% of total project costs, or $4,200 for welding black pipe components of the system. The following two-page report is written by Bruce Werba on the function and results of the system. Completed heat recovery lines entering the Water Plant Plumbed and operational heat exchanger harvests hot water from generators and transfers to boiler supply lines Completed heat recovery lines exiting the Power Plant 6 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report West Region – Crooked Creek 7 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report West Region – Crooked Creek 8 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report West Region – Crooked Creek Kuspuk School District Owned Buildings 3 buildings and 3 teacher housing units owned by the Kuspuk School District received energy efficient lighting upgrades as follows: Johnny John Sr. School Main Building, School Gym, Generator Shed, Duplex 3-Bedroom side, Duplex 2-Bedroom side, 2-Bedroom Teacher Housing Unit. • Lighting upgrades completed in: November 2008 • Retrofitted 85 light fixtures with electronic ballasts & T 8 lamps • Installed 50 compact fluorescent light bulbs • Installed 21 T5 linear fluorescent fixtures • Pre-retrofit energy use for all lighting: 20.875 Kilowatts • Post-retrofit energy use for all lighting: 10.553 Kilowatts • Energy savings projection: 10.322 Kilowatts • Pre-retrofit to post retrofit energy reduction: 49% • Estimated Annual Savings: Comparative Comparative Hours Per Day / Electrical Avoided Diesel Avoided 250 Days Per Year Savings Use (gal) Diesel Costs Locally Estimated $15,378.4 1572.87 $5,017.464 4 Hours/day $8,768.15 896.79 $2,860.75 7 Hours/day $15,344.2 1569.37 $5,006.30 10 Hours/day $21,920.3 2241.96 $7,151.86 Programmable T-stat installed in school Bus Barn Additional Energy Efficiency Measures: 1 Programmable thermostat was installed in the School Bus barn. Notes: Since the Bus barn is not classroom or office space that must be maintained at 65 or more degrees during all day-time hours, considerable fuel savings is achievable from programming this heating control to lower temps for longer periods. Ten percent or more fuel savings is expected. 9 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report West Region – Crooked Creek School Main Building 25 watt T-8 lamps save energy while improving over-all light levels in class rooms and hallways for a better learning environment.
