These energy retrofits took place as part of a “Whole Village” energy efficiency retrofit project spearheaded by The Alaska Energy Authority, with the Alaska Building Science Network (ABSN) completing community building upgrades. This project was an effort to maximize energy savings to the com munity in the wake of the highest oil price spike in world history - with a barrel of oil topping $150 during the summer of 2008. At the beginning of this project heating fuel in Nightmute cost residents and most community building owners $7.90 / gallon. In June, 2010, at the time of compiling this report, heating fuel in Nightmute cost $6.60 /gallon with an expected price increase later that summer. The FY 2009 full cost of electricity rate was .53 cents/kWh.

While residential weatherization programs have been on going for decades, many rural Alaska community buildings have remained outside official weatherization programs and have in many cases been left without focused energy efficiency and building maintenance resources. Another challenging aspect of older rural construction is that many buildings were built in the 70s and early 80s when oil was inexpensive. Many typical community buildings and residences were built with 2 x 4 construction and have low thermal resistance values in walls, floors and ceilings. Structures were often built with little or no building science knowledge or application and without Alaska’s harsh northern climate in mind. Without resources and education, the primary heat-loss mechanism of air leakage and the related area of building ventilation are not well understood. Parts of building thermal envelopes remain un-insulated, and frequently, older, poorly maintained heating systems assure much higher than necessary fuel use and cost. The challenges in these trends, coupled with extremely high fuel prices reveal great need, but also great opportunity: The reality of low-hanging fruit in the area of weatherization and the potential for substantial energy and cost savings at a comparatively low price tag. A blower door tool kit, sealants, spray foam and locally trained labor can achieve measurable and valuable air sealing improvements. Adding blown fiberglass insulation in attics is relatively simple, inexpensive and effective at placing thermal resistance where it’s n eeded. Older, ductless forced air heating systems can be swapped out with direct-vent, more efficient space heaters by local, knowledgeable installers. Where there is strong community participation and match funding, outside rigid foam insulation and new siding can bring excellent thermal protection and cost savings for relatively low cost. These are the primary weatherization strategies ABSN pursued in the Nightmute weatherization project. Considering budget, spending, savings and pay back figures For figuring energy and cost savings in this report, we compared pre and post AkWarm weatherization fuel use estimates. For our overall savings and payback figures, we added fuel use and savings estimates from all buildings together and multiplied by the cost of fuel (a hypothetical $5.00 / gallon and $6.60/gallon pricing was used), to get an annual, village-wide dollar savings figure. Simple payback, village-wide and by building comes from dividing grant funds spent by fuel dollars saved. To reduce admin costs we did not track materials and labor spending by building. Instead, we used the pre/post AkWarm savings estimates and figured per building spending based on the same proportion of per/building savings in comparison to the village-wide savings figure. Using the Chinuruk store as an example: fuel savings for that building amounted to 33% of the village-wide savings figure. To figure payback for that building we used an assumed weatherization grant cost of 33% of total weatherization grant fu nds. Working with local labor One of ABSN’s overriding principles is to utilize and train local village workers for energy efficiency retrofit projects to the greatest extent possible. This achieves the related goals of providing employment and training opportunities in the communities we serve, while also transferring energy efficiency and building science knowledge to local workers who may then pass on that experience and education to other residents and projects in their village. Through local lighting and weatherization training provided by ABSN field managers, we were able to expand the available labor pool in Nightmute. With a blower door on-site, weatherization workers in training get to see and feel the difference an effective caulking and air-sealing job can make. The local village labor force that did most of the work in Nightmute was paid through force-account as employees of the local entities who own the buildings. The wages paid were comparable to maintenance and weatherization techs working for regional housing authorities and weatherization providers. Approximately 12 - 14 local village maintenance and weatherization workers received training and worked for several weeks in 2008 and 2009. Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ‘08-’10 Final Report West Region - Nightmute 4 Lessons Learned During this first rural Alaska community building weatherization program we learned some valuable lessons worth sharing in consideration of further efforts: It is best for initial building assessments to be done in spring or summer when building foundations and roofs are free of snow and can be thoroughly inspected. Two of the larger buildings we worked on required foundation leveling and new roofs to remain viable buildings. We discovered this in stages after ordering and shipping some weatherization materials. Fortunately in the case of the Chinuruk Store and Church, both entities were willing and able to pay for a good share of labor and materials including all materials for their new roofs – making it possible to complete weatherization measures within a small budget. With many community buildings left out of maintenance and weatherization programs, most villages will have buildings in need of structural repairs that don’t bring energy savings but that are necessary for energy upgrades to have lasting value. It is important to factor this into the assessment process and decide with partner village building managers weather and how far to proceed on a given building. Considering materials, shipping and the short construction season: These elements factor into difficu lt logistics and the need for advanced planning and early action for ordering materials. For these reasons it is best and depending on scope of work sometimes essential to have two summer seasons to complete projects. In many rural Alaska villages buildings are not free of snow until late May / early June. If ordering materials happens in June and it takes 4 – 8 weeks for materials to arrive by barge then it will likely be mid-August before work can begin. Six weeks later ice and snow begin arriving again. When it comes to ordering materials that will be shipped by barge, vessel departure deadlines necessitate timely and early materials orders, which is sometimes difficult or not possible to achieve considering site visit scheduling for snow-free assessments. While it’s possible to air-freight materials to the villages it is also more costly which squeezes budgets and good paybacks. Local labor is also a challenging and unpredictable factor. The short Alaska summers are often the only opportunity for finding jobs and income for rural Alaskans. Fire fighting jobs and local or regional construction and residential weatherization work become competing labor arenas that thin out the available labor pool during the time it is needed most. Although the challenges are many, we found the motivation to reduce energy costs in rural Alaska is equally as strong. The sprit of cooperation on the part of rural Alaska building managers and owners as well as local workers really helped make these projects possible. With a creative and flexible approach, and plenty of village coordination and communication, the many hurdles can be surmounted.

Notes: While AEA as the grantor, will realize the lower payback figures shown above, the projects are more realistically budgeted using the higher payback figures that include the full funding level of the projects. Without the substantial village funding contributions the projects could not have achieved the full scope of work completed. Additionally, the figures using June, 2010 Nightmute fuel prices of $6.60 /gallon, reflect current and expected future realities for rural Alaska weatherization projects. For the foreseeable future, higher fuel prices are likely with increasing demand and decreasing supply of oil globally.

Budgets didn’t allow re-building the floor, but the source of water damage had already been contained. A low-budget patch job that doesn’t clash to badly with existing decor will pay for itself many times over. Anna Hilbruner air seals around the attic hatch cover. The City Post Office is a 529 square foot, 2 x 6 framed structure built in 1972. This building was extremely weathered and had several glaring energy efficiency problems at the time of assessment. Some years back most of the existing fiberglass bat insulation had been pulled out of place and stacked or randomly tossed around so that a good portion of the building’s ceiling was un-insulated. On the East end of the building there were two former stove vent holes leading to the outside that had been patched with aging tape allowing unnecessary air leakage. The northeast corner of the floor had sustained water damage in the past and was soft enough to push through by hand. The entry door after many years of constant use did not close properly and had a very poor seal. This post office was a good example of how many older buildings left un-attended concerning fuel efficiency can end up costing far more than necessary to heat. All these problems were easy and inexpensive to remedy, resulting in exceptional payback for time and money invested. Additionally, this tiny building had an archaic forced air heating system as it’s primary heat source using large quantities of fuel to heat a good share of air that was regularly leaving the building. Replacing the old furnace with an efficient direct -vent space heater coupled with air sealing and additional attic insulation reduced annual fuel cost by 66%.

Village Store, Weatherization Measures The old Chinuruk Store buried by winter snowstorms The old store was cobbled together and in very rough shape. A new roof was necessary for building viability Extensive foundation Jacking and leveling was necessary before energy measures could take place The Chinuruk Inc. Village Store is a 1,901 square foot, 2 x 4 framed structure built in 1970. The pre-weatherization Chinuruk Store was like an old horse put out to pasture for years, then brought back into emergency service to pack loads over the Chilkoot Pass. The old worn out building should have been left to gracefully pass back to the earth. Chinuruk Inc. had built and moved into it’s replacement years ago - a spacious new store near the school that boasted 12’ ceilings and extensive square footage. But as fuel prices soared and revenues tailed off, the extra floor space became a liability and the new Chinuruk Store closed its doors to return to their only available space – the old store on the River. The former “new” Chinuruk Store was vacated and sold to the school district. The old store building became the only option for a village store When ABSN field managers arrived for assessments it was clear the building needed a lot of help on the efficiency front. Parts of the old Chinuruk store building had no insulation in the floor. Other areas had R19 fiberglass held in place with chicken- wire. “We’d sometimes get a snow drift right there . . . with 15 - 20 mph winds . . ! ” -said Jimmy George, Chinuruk bookkeeper, pointing to the floor inside his office where an interior door joined to an exterior wall: We thought he was joking, but with further assessment of the building, soon realized he wasn’t. Areas of uninsulated and poorly insulated floor, as well as many air leakage sites insured high heating costs for the old store. Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ‘08-’10 Final Report West Region - Nightmute 41 Out of place ceiling tiles leave large air leakage zones Removed ceiling tiles reveal exposed insulation and open roof area beyond Old Miler forced-air furnace – discontinued as part of weatherization measures A large portion of the ceiling inside the building was covered in 12” x 12” ceiling tiles stapled directly onto roof trusses with no vapor barrier - assuring a constant effort on the part of the old forced air furnace and more recent Monitor space heater to heat the area inside the roof trusses, and the great outdoors beyond the roof. “ The old forced air furnace and Monitor heater used to run constantly and struggle to keep up. They gobbled lots of fuel trying to do so. Now the new Monitor heats the whole building and only runs part time,” said Mike Joe, Chinuruk Inc General Manager in Oct, 2009. Mike went further to explain how the waste heat from their glass-front pop cooler carries much of the heating load for the building during spring, fall and times of milder winter temperatures. Local workers prepare ceiling for new plywood and air sealing Local worker Joe Kosbruk removes old roofing panels New galvanized metal roof in progress In order to remain a viable building for the coming years, and in order to receive any energy upgrades the store had to first have a new roof installed and the foundation leveled. These extensive non-energy saving measures would have spent a great deal of the available grant funds leaving little left to fund energy saving measures. Fortunately Chinuruk Store Manager Mike Joe had the foresight and funds to generously con tribute toward transforming the old store to a useful and affordable building. Within the two summers of Nightmute weatherization activities, Chinuruk Inc contributed $39,643 in direct materials and labor costs to the project, enabling the extensive scope of energy savings measures outlined below: Pre verses post AkWarm energy ratings show an annual savings of $ 10,639 at June, 2010 Nightmute fuel prices of $6.60 /gallon.

The floor had remained un-insulated since that time, and the walls and ceiling contained a mere 1.5 inches of fiberglass insulation. For 61 years the Nightmute Church had provided basic shelter from the harsh weather around Nelson Island, but with out upgrades the building was facing the end of its useful service. The original cedar shake roof still held most of the water out, but in order to remain a viable building a new roof was needed, along with some foundation leveling. Upgrades to the church were a high priority for the community including a number of village elders. This, along with substantial locally raised funds from a sister Parish in the lower 48 made the church a good fit for VEUEEM energy upgrades. Through the efforts of many local maintenance workers, both paid and volunteer the church was transformed into a functional and energy efficient building. “We are saving lots of fuel!

During initial building assessments in March, 2008, there was a large trash can in the middle of the floor, along with several other buckets - positioned under drip zones on the ceiling. A fairly steady “rain” from these areas indicated a substantial leakage problem. With the roof completely clear of snow there had to be another source inside the attic. Sure enough, an abandoned stove pipe no longer connected to a heating appliance had been plugged with fiberglass insulation where the flue exited the roof. The late winter blizzards that can pound this area of the Bering Sea coast had forced a fine mist of snow through the porous insulation - building a giant attic snow-cone to melt in the spring. An estimated 300 pounds of snow and slush was removed from the attic. During the air sealing work for this building, local workers removed the abandoned chimney, patched and sealed the roof and air sealed the ceiling penetration from the old chimney. • Exhisting insulation R-values: R19 in floor and ceiling, R11 in walls. • Pre-weatherization AkWarm energy rating: 58.5 rating points, 2 Star rating • Post-weatherization AkWarm energy rating: 71.8 rating points, 4 Star rating • Annual fuel consumption pre weatherization: 467 gallons / year • Annual fuel consumption post weatherization: 304 gallons / year • Annual fuel saved through weatherization measures: 163 gallons / year • Annual savings percentage in dollars and gallons of fuel: 35% • Air Leakage reduction pre verses post Weatherization: 40% Weatherization Measures Completed • Air-sealed building including floors, walls, ceiling, attic hatch, abandoned for ced air furnace chimney penetration, windows and doors • Built attic access hatch extension, removed stored items from attic and added blown -in attic insulation on top of R19 fiberglass bats to achieve R48 in ceiling • Installed new exterior door weather stripping and door sweeps • Installed attic gable end vent with wind baffle cover (Possible Picture row here for more extensive weatherization scope) Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ‘08-’10 Final Report West Region - Nightmute 55 Adding blow-in fiberglass insulation ABSN Field Manager collecting blower- door test figures Foam air-sealing around a ceiling light fixture box Weatherization Results at $5.00 /gal fuel price • Annual heating fuel cost - pre weatherization: $ 2,437 • Annual heating fuel cost - post weatherization: $ 1,582 • Annual dollars saved through weatherization: $ 855 • Weatherization grant funds spent: $4,949 • Simple payback: Wx grant funds / annual $ saved: 5.8 years Weatherization Results with June, 2010 fuel prices in Nightmute ($6.60 /gal) • Annual heating fuel cost - pre weatherization: $ 3,082 • Annual heating fuel cost - post weatherization: $ 2,006 • Annual dollars saved through weatherization: $ 1,076 • Simple payback: Wx grant funds / annual $ saved: 4.6 years Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ‘08-’10 Final Report West Region - Nightmute 56 Nightmute Community Church Housing: Pre-Wx AkWarm Rating QuickTime™ and a decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Existing switching controls are normally retained - allowing users to choose the appropriate number of light fixtures / rows of light fixtures needed for various use patterns. In many cases school staff will choose not to use all fixtures available, thereby achieving more electrical savings than what is shown above. Considering light quality, ABSN T5 lighting plans employ 54-watt, high output T5 lamps with a color-rendering index (CRI) of 85. Existing light fixtures in rural high ceiling areas typically have a CRI ranging from 30 to 70. With the T5 retrofits, the boost in CRI greatly improves light quality – resulting in objects appearing much closer to their true color as seen under sunlight. This increased light quality can result in less light needed to illuminate a given space. Another advantage appreciated by building owners is the instant-on function of T5 lighting compared with long waiting periods for older HID fixtures to come on. With the waiting period eliminated, building owners have indicated they are more likely to keep lighting off until needed.
