3 Master Plan Update Facility Condition & Energy Assessment Project Overview Farnsworth Group conducted a facility assessment update as part of an ongoing effort by the Town of Normal (TON) to proactively address facility upgrades and reduce energy usage. In 2014, facility assessments were conducted on eleven buildings owned by the Town of Normal as part of a significant master planning effort. In 2015, the twelfth building, Broadview Mansion, was assessed and added to the master plan portfolio. The master planning process is an interactive cycle with four distinct phases, as shown below. Facility Assessment Verification Detailed Review & Retro-Cx Implementation of Improvements The scope of this project was a high level review of the facilities updated financial information for calculating the Facility Conditions Index (FCI) as well as a review of current utility energy use information comparing the Energy Utilization Index (EUI) and Energy Star Numbers established in the 2014 report. Town facility staff provided necessary documentation, such as utility billing history and updated work order values and insured values. The update findings were compared to the 2014 Master Plan benchmarks. It is worth noting that the updated utility bill information was used in this report was noted be slightly skewed from the original report, this is due to the energy provider changing over to a digital system that monitors the usage closely. 1 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

4 Condition and Energy Assessment Update Building Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck (BMPD) Broadview Mansion Children s Discovery Museum (CDM) City Hall Annex (CHA) College Avenue Parking Deck (CAPD) Community Activity Center (CAC) Engineering (ENG) Normal Theater (NT) Police Department (PD) Public Works (PW) Uptown Station (UTS) Uptown Parking Deck (USPD) Condition and Energy Assessment Update Summary Facility Condition Index 2014 Good (0.0010) Poor (0.2300) Good (0.0120) Good (0.0370) Good (0.0010) Poor (0.1300) Good (0.0240) Poor (0.1080) Good (0.0300) Good (0.0040) Good (0.0050) Facility Condition Index 2016 Good (0.0024) Fair (0.0860) Good (0.0004) Good (0.0346) Good (0.0023) Good (0.0648) Good (0.0146) Good (0.0280) Good (0.0299) Good (0.0033) Good (0.0043) Energy Star 2014 Energy Star EUI (kbtu/sqft) 2016 EUI (kbtu/sqft) NA 3 NA NA 3 NA NA 3 NA NA 3 NA NA 3 NA See UTS See UTS NA 3 NA Utility billing for the Uptown Station and the Uptown Parking Deck are combined. The data (Total usage Parking Deck usage) used to generate the performance ratings was an estimated value based on present site conditions. 2 Utility billing for the Police Department and the City hall Annex are combined for the Natural gas. The data (Total usage /square foot percentage) used to generate the performance ratings was an estimated value based on present site conditions. 3 Energy Star does not currently have a building category for this facility. The Energy Star score is undefined. The previous report included energy star numbers manipulated by changing the category to Office for these, however we do not feel this is a fair comparison and have not included a score for buildings not in the system. All new utility bills were provided to develop the 2014 and 2016 energy star and EIU numbers. The Facility Condition Index in blue shows the most improved buildings. The smaller the number the better the rating. Condition Assessment Update The overall general condition of the buildings reviewed is good. Work orders and preventative maintenance issues are being thoroughly identified by the FM staff and effectively tracked in the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Major components that are in poor condition have been identified, and they are in the process of being systematically repaired or replaced, which is reflected in the improved FCI numbers above. Facility Condition Index Insured Value of All Facilities $81,053,024 Work Orders $1,117, Facility Condition Index Good (0.014) 2 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

5 Next Steps The Town would ultimately like to develop a strategy to link quantifiable data from facility assessments directly to budgetary numbers. In order to accomplish this, all major building assets need to be tracked in the CMMS, which is currently in progress, and include data such as remaining service life (RSL) and estimated cost of replacement. Further developing RSL information would provide the Town with metrics to make decisions regarding capital expenses, energy improvements, or possibly deference of upgrades or repairs in order to pick up an unforeseen or emergency cost. Another important next step would be for the Town of Normal to develop an order of importance for buildings as a whole and for components within the buildings themselves. Again, this is valuable information that could add to the Town s decision making criteria and allow budgeting flexibility. Facility Condition Assessments should be considered as a next step as well. The condition of a building is a dynamic state, and it should be monitored and periodically re-assessed. Farnsworth has worked closely with the Facility Management staff throughout the 2014 assessment process, and the system developed is reproducible and sustainable. The component rating definitions are applicable to anything that is tangible, and the FM staff can continue this process throughout the remainder of the facilities. Condition assessment is the first step in a sustained management system, and it is also a process that should be reiterated. Re-assessing assets ensures your forecasting and budget inputs are valid and reassessment can indicate areas of opportunities in the maintenance program as well. Energy Assessment Update The following table is a summary of the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) calculated for each building utilizing the current utility billing and usage data. Energy Use Intensity (EUI) EUI(kBTU/Sq.Ft.) P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

6 Total Energy Usage (kbtu) by building Beaufort Street Parking Broadview Mansion Childrens Discovery City Hall Annex College Avenue Parking Community Activity Center Engineering Normal Theater Police Department Public Works Uptown Parking Deck Uptown Station 0 2,000,000 4,000,000 6,000,000 8,000, There is an overall energy reduction of 10% when comparing 2014 to 2016 data. This is believed to be due to the improvements in the operation of the Uptown Station Controls system, but also somewhat due to the less extreme weather which can be seen in the individual building comparisons to the Heating Degree and Cooling Degree Days. Next Steps Implement the Energy Conservation Measures (ECM)s identified in 2014, in order of importance that aligns with the Town of Normal s overall goals. Review the parking deck illuminance levels by conducting a photometric study is ongoing. If lighting levels greatly exceed the requirements set forth by IES / DOE (Illuminating Engineering Society/Department of Energy), the number of light fixtures in the parking decks can be reduced. Conduct a more thorough energy audit (ASHRAE Level Two) for the Normal Theater and Children s Discovery Museum. Re-commission the Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck, Children s Discovery Museum, Engineering, Public Works, and City Hall Annex to identify programming issues with the HVAC system, misaligned setpoints, faulty sensors, and other specific energy efficiency opportunities. 4 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

12 Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck Building Background The auditing team reviewed the Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck (BMPD) for the Town of Normal. The BMPD construction was completed in There are 5 levels including space allowed for future development of retail spaces. The deck areas and estimated-average number of people that use the facility is shown in the table below. Space Total Area (SF) Visitors Equivalent to Full Time Parking 162, Stairwells 4, Mech/Elec 1, Total 168, Summary of Key Metrics This report is arranged around the following main sections: 1. Summary of Key Metrics 2. Energy Assessment Detailed Findings Facility Condition Index: Facility Condition Index Facility's insured value $10,088,708 Work Orders $25,000 Facility Condition Index Good (0.0024) The Good rating of the facility is a representation of the work orders that are anticipated at this point in time. It is important to note that the FCI can change significantly based on the identified work orders or capital costs. The identified work orders and capital costs cover a five year budgeting cycle and consist of capital costs related to site components (update lighting, lighting controls and lighting levels) of the facility. The town has identified a number of improvements critical to the facility s purpose, thereby making the FCI a representation of the entire site. Energy Utilization Index (EUI): In comparing the 2016 Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck EUI to 2014 EUI, in 2016 the Parking Deck is consuming less energy per square foot than the 2014 property (approximately -6.5% less than median). This information is primarily driven by the fact that the property is not fully or consistently occupied. In comparing the current 2016 Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck EUI with a median property of similar usage, the EPA does not have a nationally representative data on this type of building. 1 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

13 Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck Metric % Diff (2016/2014) Median % Diff (2016/Median) E-STAR score N/A N/A N/A 50 N/A EUI (kbtu/ft²) % N/A N/A Energy Star Rating: The Farnsworth team received the Beaufort Street Marriott Parking Deck utility usage for the past 3 years and entered the data into the Energy Star program. The BMPD is not eligible to apply for Energy Star. In order to attain a benchmark Energy Use Intensity (EUI) rating, the BMPD was entered in as a 168,611 SqFt, Occupancy 100%, and Partially Enclosed Parking Garage. Note that the Energy Star system is continuously evolving with the US Department of Energy adding building energy usage information to their database routinely. Energy Assessment Detailed Findings A comparison of the past 3 years worth of utility data was included as an update to the 2014 Energy and Asset Master Plan This process identified electrical usage mostly indicative of a parking deck influenced by environmental/ weather conditions as it relates to the small amount of electric heat in the stairwells, however most of the electrical usage is related to lighting with a base load of around 30,000-35,000 kwh. This can be seen in the following charts showing the rise and fall of electrical usage following the rise and fall of Heating Degree Days (HDD). While the overall annual gas usage looks typical, there are a few anomalies that the TON should investigate further. There are a couple of months, May of year 1 and March of year 2 that drop significantly in the kwh usage, it is unclear what would have caused these dips, as it does not appear to be related to weather patterns in any way. We have also included a comparison of electrical usage and cooling degree days, however this is just for reference and shows due to no cooling equipment there is no rise in usage over the summer months when compared to the cooling degree days. 2 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

17 Broadview Mansion Broadview Mansion Building Background The Van Leer family originally built the stately Edwardian Style Arts and Crafts, 7,300 square foot Broadview Mansion in 1906 after achieving considerable success in managing the hardware store in Downtown Bloomington. Upon her husband s death in 1940, Mrs. Van Leer built an 80 foot carillon tower in his memory, adding to the historic 4-acre property. In 1949, the property was used primarily for institutional use by the Immanuel Bible Foundation, with a residence of the Foundation s director on the second floor until the early 2000 s. Today, the Town of Normal is in a joint agreement with the Foundation to maintain and manage the property. The building is being used for performances and lessons associated with the Van Leer Academy of Music and Art, fundraisers, study groups, and other nonprofit and planning sessions. The building and tower total area and estimated-average full-time equivalent staff and visitors are shown in the following table. The mansion and the tower and the site are considered one entity for one facility condition index. Space Total Area (SF) Visitors Equivalent to Full Time Basement First Floor Second Floor/ Living quarters Attic Total Mansion 7, Total Tower 1, Summary of Key Metrics This report is arranged around the following main sections: 1. Summary of Key Metrics 2. Energy Assessment Detailed Findings Facility Condition Index: Facility Condition Index Facility's Insured Value $3,319,068 Work Orders $285,500 Facility Condition Index Fair (0.086) The fair rating of the facility is a representation of the work orders that are anticipated at this point in time. It is important to note that the FCI can change significantly based on the identified work orders or capital costs. The identified work orders and capital costs cover a five year budgeting cycle and consist of capital costs related to site components (pavement, historic fencing and walls) and the overall goal of maintaining the historic value of the facility. The town and Foundation have identified a number of improvements critical to the facility s historic purpose, such as renovations to the kitchen and restoration to wall coverings, thereby making the FCI a representation of the entire site in the context of its historic purpose within the town. Energy Utilization Index (EUI): 1 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

18 Broadview Mansion In comparing the Broadview Mansion EUI to the 2014 EUI, the Mansion is consuming less energy per square foot than the median property (approximately -17.2% less than median). This information is primarily driven by the fact that the property is not fully or consistently occupied. In addition, it appears the building staff are diligent in keeping temperature setpoints for the HVAC consistent with an unoccupied building, thereby saving significant energy costs. Despite the low energy use per square foot, or EUI, the facility has potential to save further energy dollars. Details of possible energy efficiency measures and savings are in the detailed energy assessment section. When comparing the current 2016 Broadview Mansion EUI to a median property of similar usage, the Community Activity Center is consuming less energy per square foot than the median property (approximately 45% less than median). Metric % Diff (2016/2014) Median % Diff (2016/Median) E-STAR score N/A N/A N/A 50 N/A EUI (kbtu/ft²) % % Energy Star Rating: The Farnsworth team received the Broadview Mansion s utility usage for the past 2 years and entered the data into the Energy Star program. The Broadview Mansion was entered using the closest Energy Star building type, which was a retail store. It was assumed to have one main shift worker, with 16 hr. / wk., 1 computer, and 1 refrigeration unit. However, the Energy Star rating produced N/A, primarily due to Energy Star not having a comparable property in their database yet. Note that the Energy Star system is continuously evolving with the US Department of Energy adding building energy usage information to their database routinely. Energy Assessment Detailed Findings The energy assessment for the Broadview Mansion included a Preliminary Energy-Use Analysis (PEA). During the PEA, the utility bills were reviewed to identify any efficiency or usage modification opportunities before conducting the walk-through. A comparison of the past 2 years worth of utility data was included as an update to the 2014 Energy and Asset Master Plan This process identified natural gas usage indicative of a building influenced by environmental/ weather conditions. This can be seen in the following chart for the Mansion is showing the rise and fall of gas usage following the rise and fall of Heating Degree Days (HDD). The overall annual gas usage looks typical, and an overall reduction in usage appears to follow the reduction in Heating Degree Days in year 2 and 3. 2 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

19 Broadview Mansion In the following chart showing electrical consumption from the Mansion compared to CDD, there is a consistent base load of around 750 kwh / month. This is believed to be due to mainly lighting loads. The electrical usage peaks during the summer months, as expected, due to air conditioning and rises slightly in the winter due to fan and pumping energy for heating. 3 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

20 Broadview Mansion The following charts show the electrical use of the Tower that is on the property, which in 2014 was noted to only have some decorative lighting installed at the top and no heating or cooling equipment. There is very little electric data from previous years and it is unclear if this usage is normal, but believed to be related to decorative lighting. These charts are included for reference of the usage compared to the time of year, however no conclusions should be drawn when compared to the HDDs or CDDs. 4 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

Status Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete Incomplete The listed ECMs represent great opportunities for the Town of Normal to achieve some of their goals and objectives: being good stewards of taxpayer money, providing value-added services to the community, maintaining the community s assets to a definable, acceptable level. ECM Mansion 01: Assumptions for this ECM include and average usage of the basement lights for 16 hours a week and the main lighting for the upper floors used for 14 hours a week. Bulbs would be replaced with LED type bulbs equivalent to the original wattage as currently installed in most areas. In addition, it is assumed that the basement fluorescent lighting could be reduced by half of the currently installed fixtures and provide the same lighting levels, due to more efficient fixtures. Closets and accent lights were excluded from these calculations and the calculated usage was compared with electrical use in the mild seasons (assuming very little if any effect of lighting on heating and cooling). Update: No work to date. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Mansion 02: This ECM accounts for putting a daylight photocell or timer to control the single light fixture between the house and the garage which is currently assumed to be on 24/7 at an assumed 60 Watts, however if any other lights could be placed on a timer to reduce usage the potential savings could be increased, however it appears that none of the other lights were on and there were daylight photocells on many of the exterior lights already. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Mansion 03: This ECM is based on an ASHRAE savings calculator for programmable thermostat installation. It is apparent that the town desires to install a networked thermostat and building automation controls for monitoring of this facility; however it is assumed that this would give the ability to input schedules and setback temperatures similar to a programmable thermostat. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Tower 04: It is apparent that the lighting and electricity in the tower is currently not being used. In the past year there was only one month that actually showed any electrical usage.

24 Broadview Mansion remove the service all together and eliminate the meter charges. Alternative solar-powered accent lighting could be explored if desired in the future and would provide an attractive payback to the town compared to paying monthly meter charges. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Mansion 05: This ECM utilized a savings calculator provided by a prominent manufacturer of tankless water heaters. With no one actually living in the mansion it is assumed that the hot water gets used very little, other than hand washing and the occasional set of dishes or laundry. The savings would be realized though installing a tankless water heater, which means it would only run when hot water is needed. Currently, the tank type water heater in the basement continuously heats the tank of water, whether there is any need for hot water in the building. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Mansion 06 & 07: These ECMs are identified as a greater capital project and are beyond the simple calculations of the low cost/ no cost items, as part of an ASHRAE Level 1 audit. A more thorough analysis and engineering calculation would be required to identify potential savings figures and should also including cost analysis and payback numbers beyond the scope of this evaluation. That being said, there are numerous areas of potential improvements including insulation of additional envelope areas, sealing air penetrations, etc. Status Update: No work to date. ECM Mansion 08: This ECM is simply educating users of the space about the HVAC systems and controls and increasing the user s awareness of energy usage. For example, receiving an with the utility bill and month s usage compared to previous years / baseline, will help the mansion s staff identify energy reduction opportunities, such as keeping windows closed while the HVAC is running and turning off lighting when a space isn t occupied, etc. This value is calculated from the difference in July usage between 2014 and 2015, since this additional energy was not related to weather. There are opportunities to combine ECMs 8 and 3 by using a programmable thermostat that is set to the occupancy patterns of the facility.

This can be seen in the following chart showing the rise and fall of gas usage following the rise and fall of Heating Degree Days (HDD). An overall increase in usage does not appears to follow the reduction in Heating Degree Days in year 2 and 3. Also note that the use of electric heat in the form of baseboard heaters and personal heaters was noted in the previous report and can be seen by the rise in electrical use on the second chart during the winter months. In the following chart showing electrical consumption compared to CDD, there is a possible base load of around 1,200 kwh / month, however as electricity is being used for both heating and cooling it is only noted in a few months with little heating or cooling load. The electrical usage peaks during the winter months due to electric heaters and increases in the summer months due to air conditioning. 2 Page Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

50 Normal Theater Normal Theater Building Background The FGI team audited the Normal Theater for the Town of Normal. The theater originally opened in 1937 and was built specifically for sound films. The Theater has been completely restored to its original condition. The building is still being used to show movies and available for rentals where assembly seating is required. The building areas and estimated-average number of people that use the facility is shown in the table below.

It is important to note that the FCI can change significantly based on the identified work orders or capital costs. The identified work orders and capital costs cover a five year budgeting cycle and consist of capital costs related to site components (update lighting, lighting sensors and update temperature controls) of the facility. It was noted that the HVAC upgrade including high efficiency condensing boilers will be completed in The Town has identified a number of improvements critical to the facility s purpose, thereby making the FCI a representation of the entire site. Energy Utilization Index (EUI): In comparing the Normal Theater EUI to the2014eui, the Theater is consuming less energy per square foot than the median property (approximately -15.2% less than median). This information is primarily driven by the fact that the property could use some lighting upgrades and lighting sensors. Details of possible energy efficiency measures and savings are in the detailed energy assessment section. 1 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

The Energy Star cannot develop a rating number for this theater, so in an effort to create a benchmark, we enter the Theater in as a 5,635 SqFt retail store operating 30 hours per week with two main shift workers, one computer, and one cash register. Note that the Energy Star system is continuously evolving with the US Department of Energy adding building energy usage information to their database routinely. Energy Assessment Detailed Findings The energy assessment for the Theater included a Preliminary Energy-Use Analysis (PEA). During the PEA, the utility bills were reviewed to identify any efficiency or usage modification opportunities before conducting the walk-through. A comparison of the past 3 years worth of utility data was included as an update to the 2014 Energy and Asset Master Plan This process identified natural gas usage mostly indicative of a building influenced by environmental/ weather conditions. This can be seen in the following chart showing the rise and fall of gas usage following the rise and fall of Heating Degree Days (HDD). While the overall annual gas usage looks typical, there is an anomaly that the TON should investigate further, however an overall reduction in usage appears to follow the reduction in Heating Degree Days in year 2 and 3. There appears to be an anomaly noted for November showing a drastic spike in usage. In the following chart showing electrical consumption compared to CDD, there is a consistently high base load of around 6,000 kwh / month. As previously stated this is believed to be due to several factors. The theater has a built up inefficient air handling system that is uninsulated and exposed to the exterior basement walls of the building. There are a large number of lights in use while the building is open, specifically the over 400 incandescent light bulbs in the marquee. It was also noted that the theater 2 P a g e Update to the 2014 Facility Master Plan

57 Police Department The Farnsworth team received the Police Department utility usage for the past 3 years and entered the data into the Energy Star program. The Energy Star program cannot develop a rating number for this police station, so in an effort to create a benchmark, we entered the Police Department in as a 25,140 SqFt office building that operates 168 hours per week with 40 main shift workers and 65 operating computers. Also, the natural gas for the Police Department and City Hall Annex are franchised, so we had to divide the utility totals by the area of each building. Note that the Energy Star system is continuously evolving with the US Department of Energy adding building energy usage information to their database routinely.
