3 Energy Efficiency in New Construction

4 Energy Efficiency in New Construction International Terminal D Energy efficiency innovation in the design of International Terminal D included terminal lighting, air quality, and heating and cooling systems. 4

5 MMBtu / Square Foot Sustainable Communities Conference, March 2009 Passenger Terminal Energy Utilization Terminal MMBtu/SqFt Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Terminal A '08 Terminal B '08 Terminal C '08 Terminal D '08 Terminal E '08 5

6 Energy Efficiency in New Construction Environmental Affairs Bldg Low budget building incorporates LEED Components, ENERGY STAR rating Pre-engineered steel building ENERGY STAR rating (target score 90) Design to comply with the prescriptive measures of the ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Office Buildings 2004 Ground source heat pumps ENERGY STAR rated equipment Water Conserving Fixtures (40% less water than baseline) Low-emitting materials (meet LEED NC 2.2 IEQ requirements) Whole building commissioning 6

7 Energy Efficiency in New Construction Data Center New data center incorporates energy efficient facility design and IT systems Virtualization of servers Migration to blade servers Retirement/consolidation of old servers Right-sizing of support infrastructure Blanking panels on server cabinets Row-oriented cooling Efficient floor layout Best-in-class UPS High efficiency lighting Whole building commissioning Oncor Data Center Energy Management pilot program 7

8 Energy Efficiency in Retrofits

9 Energy Efficiency in Retrofits Terminal Lighting Upgrades Replace T12 fluorescent lamps with T8s Replace magnetic lighting ballasts with electronic ballasts Replace incandescent exit signs with LED type Replace PAR and HID down lights with CFLs Occupancy sensors for lighting control Light harvesting fluorescent ballasts 9

10 Energy Efficiency in Retrofits DFW Wellness Center High efficiency lighting Lighting controls Daylighting High efficiency air source heat pumps with ERVs High efficiency plumbing fixtures with auto shut-off Solar thermal hot water system 10

11 Energy Efficiency in Retrofits Innovative Signage Project Dynamic Parking Availability Signs Innovative solution yields $227,000 savings over 10 years 13 Locations (Express & Remote Parking Lots) Solar powered LED displays Cell phone activated 11

12 Energy Efficiency in Operations & Maintenance

13 Energy Efficiency in Operations & Maintenance Continuous Commissioning Projects CC optimizes energy use based actual building conditions and requirements Routinely achieves 10 25% whole building energy cost reductions Calibrated and repaired sensors and malfunctioning devices Modified control sequences and implemented reset schedules Optimized control sequences Increased heating and cooling deadbands and implemented uniform space temperature setpoints throughout 13

14 Electricity Use (kwh) Sustainable Communities Conference, March 2009 Energy Efficiency in Operations & Maintenance Continuous Commissioning Projects 1,200 Rent-A-Car (RAC) Center at DFW Int'l Airport 1,150 1,100 Sep 1st, 2004 [75.5 F] Oct 20th, 2004 [75.3 F] Pre CC 1,050 1, Post CC Time (hr) Energy Savings - 1 million (kwh) / yr (18%) 14

15 Continuous Commissioning Program in Terminal D & Energy Plaza Phase I (FY 08) complete Phase II (FY 09) on schedule Terminal D Electricity consumption decreased by 5% (2.4MWh) Chilled water consumption decreased by 16.37% (32,221 MMBtu) Hot water consumption decreased by 8.99% (5,576 MMBtu). Energy Plaza Electricity consumption decreased by 9% (5.657MWh) Natural gas consumption decreased by 24% (31,420 MMBtu) Peak electrical demand decreased by 3MW Total project savings $1,101,428 (FY 08), exceeds forecast by 120% 15

17 Renewable Energy

18 Renewable Energy Initiatives 15% of DFW s annual electric energy (~45 million kwh per year) is wind generated DFW s heavy duty and off-road fleet vehicles use bio-diesel fuel Solar thermal hot water system installed for Wellness Center 18

19 Industry Recognition and Leadership

20 Industry Recognition DFW s energy management achievements have earned industry recognition Association of Energy Engineers: International Corporate Energy Manager of the Year Award Texas State Energy Conservation Office and Texas Energy Partnership: Outstanding Achievement in Energy Efficiency and Air Quality Improvement Alliance to Save Energy: Star of Energy Efficiency Award 20

21 Industry Leadership DFW s environmental success recently earned the Airport s participation in EPA s National Environmental Performance Track Program, and TCEQ s Clean Texas Platinum Award. Recognizes top businesses and organizations that excel at environmental leadership and performance Note: Federal Aviation Administration has unilateral jurisdictional authority over Airports and additional requirements 21
