7 Executive Summary Empire State Building (ESB) has committed to a major sustainability retrofit to become a leading example of economic and environmental revitalization. A Johnson Controls Energy Performance Contract (EPC) was developed to install five ECMs of the Sustainability Program at ESB. The project installation phase was completed in December The Performance Period started in January This report documents the project savings for Performance Year 2, ending December Annual savings are calculated based on International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Option D, which utilizes building performance simulation software (equest ). Table 1.1 shows the contract guaranteed savings, the Performance Year (PY) target guaranteed savings and the ECM performance savings.

Performance of each ECM is then measured against the target guaranteed savings. For the 2012 performance year (January 1 to December 31), Johnson Controls ECM performance savings exceeds 2012 target guaranteed savings. ECM Performance Accounts for the following: 1. The window testing is conducted every two years. The window testing showed that the Windows Retrofit ECM performed better than the contract for the performance period The radiator insulation test uses the R values measured during the installation period (2010). The testing showed that the Radiator Insulation ECM performed better than the contract for all performance periods. 3. Steam trap savings are contracted to be non-measured savings. Steam trap surveying is used to support the annual maintenance program to identify and service leaking or failed traps. Executive Summary 1

8 4. Trending analysis for 2012 indicates that the BAS Retrofit ECM savings exceeds contract savings for Year 2. The increase in savings is due to improve fan scheduling in 2012 when compared with the contract Post-Installation scheduling assumption. 5. Johnson Controls did not claim savings for CHW Reset Controls. Trending analysis showed that CHW Reset Controls were not fully utilized during the actual operation. Since the rest of the chiller ECMs were properly installed, Johnson Controls claimed savings for full ECM performance. 8,000,000 Annual Electric Consumption Vs CDD 7,000,000 6,000,000 Electric Consumption (kwh) 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000, Electric 2011 Electric 2012 Electric CDD Figure 1.1: Reduction in ESB s 2007 Baseline Electric Utility Consumption during Performance Period Figure 1.1 illustrates that ESB s Post-Installation electric utility consumption was reduced by 29% during base load conditions and was reduced by 34% during the hottest month.

12 Project Overview EMPIRE STATE BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Empire State Building (ESB) has committed to a major sustainability retrofit program as an example for leading economic and environmental revitalization. ESB, in partnership with Clinton Climate Initiative, Johnson Controls Inc., Jones Lang LaSalle, NYSERDA, and Rocky Mountain Institute, project that the building can save 38% of its energy use and $4.4 million in annual utility costs. A total of eight Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) were selected for implementation as part of the ESB Sustainability Program. Each ECM, the responsible organization and associated contribution to savings is detailed below.

(b) PY target guarantee is shown after including the contract 8.07% average savings risk discount. (c) Johnson Controls confidence in the current equest cooling tower fan VFD savings calculation is low due to model limitations. For all practical purposes, this does not affect the overall project savings level greatly, because the magnitude of this ECM savings is low (in the order of $25,000). EPC Guaranteed Savings (2007) Using contract assumption for ECM performance, 2007 weather data, 2007 utility rates and 2007 vacancy data, the project guaranteed energy savings is $2,240,728. EPC 2012 Target Savings Using measured ECM performance, actual 2012 weather data, contract utility rates and actual 2012 vacancy data, projected energy savings would be $2,183, ECM Savings Based on actual measured ECM performance, 2012 weather data, contract utility rates and 2012 vacancy data, the PY ECM performance savings is $2,326,678.

16 EQUEST MODEL SETUP OVERVIEW Modeling Software Model Author equest v3.64, build 7130 Quest Energy Group, LLC 1620 W Fountainhead Pkwy #303 Tempe, AZ Model Build A detailed architectural model of the building was created based on archive drawings, photos taken at the site, and site inspections. Site inspections included verifying wall and roof constructions, external shading, and glass types. Schedules based on building operation were used in the model. Lighting demand and energy (schedules) were put into the model based on the lighting information provided by JLL. Representative internal equipment loads by space type (office, corridor, etc.) were incorporated into the model. Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) equipment and efficiencies were added and each zone was assigned to the appropriate HVAC system. Zoning was determined by the base building core areas including elevator shafts, restrooms, corridors, etc. and the tenant occupyable areas, which were zoned using perimeter/core areas by orientation. HVAC equipment efficiencies were based on field measurements, nameplate data, or mechanical plans as available (this would tie in to your report's description of field measured data, etc.). Vacancy rates for the building were included in the model. Project Overview 10

17 1. ECM 1: WINDOW RETROFIT 1.1 ECM 1: WINDOW RETROFIT ECM Description This ECM upgraded the existing Insulated Glass (IG) for 6,514 double-hung windows to Suspended Coated Film AlpenGlass. This re-manufacturing of the (2 x 6,514 =) 13,028 IG units was done on-site at ESB. IG units were removed, delivered to a production area located on the 5th Floor and picked up for reinstallation by ESB s window contractor. Alpenglass TC88 or SC75 was used as the suspended film based on window orientation. A mix of krypton/argon gas was used between the glass and suspended film. This ECM improved the thermal resistance of the glass from R-2 to R-6 and cut the heat gain by more than half. As an additional contribution to sustainability, all existing glass removed from the windows was recycled Pre-Installation System Conditions Pre-Installation double pane windows were estimated (not measured at that time) to have 0.48 U-Value and Solar Heat GainCoefficient (SHGC). After testing, it was found that Pre-Installation window performance was 0.58 in U-Value and there would be more savings than previously estimated Post-Installation System Conditions North windows were targeted to attain U-Value and SHGC through Krypton/Argon gas fill and TC88 suspended film. S-E-W windows were targeted to attain U-Value and SHGC through Krypton gas fill and SC75 suspended film. In 2010, the post-installation North windows were tested to attain U-Value and SHGC. Post- Installation S-E-W windows were tested to attain U-Value and SHGC. All Post-Installation windows in the exterior envelope of the building were assumed to reduce heat loss and solar heat gain.

18 1.1.4 ECM M&V Methodology Figure : ESB Windows when tested at ATI (left); Schematic of ATI s window testing chamber (right) IG units were sent to an independent testing agency (Architectural Testing, Inc. [ATI]) for evaluation of several window performance indices including the ones used as equest inputs (Whole window U-Value and SHGC). ATI, located in York, PA, is a premier window testing company that possesses extensive experience and testing in the field of window testing. ATI is accredited with several agencies including the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), American National Standards Institute, Insulating Glass Certification Council, American Architectural Manufacturers Association, Window and the Door Manufacturers Association. Extensive information about ATI, ATI s work, testing facility and certificate of accreditations is given in the attached test report. A total of four old windows and six new windows were tested for performance. IG unit performance was tested in accordance with NFRC in a thermal test chamber. The two sides of the chamber were simulated for standard exterior (-0.4 F at 15mph wind speed) and interior (70 F) environment. Interior conditions were maintained using an electric heater whose output can be measured. IG unit U-factor was calculated using measured heat loss and delta-t. Whole window (IG unit and frame) performance was evaluated using a combination of gas fill test and industry standard computer simulation. Gas fill tests were performed using a standard gas chromatograph device. SHGC tests were performed using a window energy profiler device (WP4500) that measures ultraviolet, visible light, infrared transmission values and SHGC. Results from the testing were used to generate the following equest Model inputs that determine the ECM savings. ECM 1 12

20 2. ECM 2: RADIATOR INSULATION AND STEAM TRAP RETROFIT 2.1 ECM 2.1: RADIATOR INSULATION ECM Description This ECM involved the installation of 6,514 insulated reflective barriers behind radiator units located on the perimeter of the building. In addition, the radiator was cleaned and the thermostat was repositioned to the front side of the radiator. This ECM will reduce the thermal heat loss through the exterior building wall Pre-Installation System Conditions Pre-Installation wall+no-insulation U-Value was estimated to be Post-Installation "wall+insulation" U-Value was estimated to be All radiator insulation in the exterior envelope of the building reduces heat loss Post-Installation System Conditions Radiator insulation in the exterior envelope was installed. Johnson Controls was unable to install the barriers in broadcasting spaces because those spaces were overheating and the radiator assemblies were removed. There will be additional savings than the tests demonstrated because of the reflective layer on the insulation ECM M&V Methodology Radiator Insulation boards were sent to an independent testing agency (ATI) for evaluation of thermal performance. ATI, located in York, PA, is a fenestration testing company that possesses extensive experience in the field of fenestration testing. ATI is accredited by several agencies including National Fenestration Rating Council, American National Standards Institute, Insulating Glass Certification Council, American Architectural Manufacturers Association and the Window and Door Manufacturers Association. Extensive information about ATI, ATI s work, testing facility and certificate of accreditations is given in the attached test report. A total of ten radiator insulation locations were tested for performance. ECM 2 14

21 Figure : Insulation Testing Equipment at ATI Radiator Insulation was tested using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C 518, Standard Test Method for Steady State Heat Flux Measurements and Thermal Transmission Properties by Means of Heat Flow Meter Apparatus. The test method covers the measurement of steady state thermal transmission through flat specimens using heat flow meter apparatus. This is a comparative method of measurement and was be calibrated to a specimen traceable to National Institute of Materials supplied material. The cold plate was maintained at a nominal 50 F and the hot plate was maintained at a nominal 100 F. Heat flux transducer was introduced on the warm side. Insulation U-factor was calculated using measured heat loss and delta-t. Results from the testing were used to generate the following equest Model inputs that determine the ECM savings.

22 2.2 ECM 2.2: STEAM TRAP RETROFIT ECM Description The purpose of a steam trap is to prevent steam from passing its point of use and to allow condensate to be expelled as soon as it forms. They behave like automatic valves. Steam traps open, close or modulate automatically. Over time, internal parts of steam traps wear out and result in failure to open and close properly. While an open trap would result in loss of live steam, a closed trap could result in loss of heat transfer to the area and water hammering. Water hammering can eventually damage the valves and other components in steam systems, which could result in steam leaks. All the steam radiators at ESB are fitted with thermostatic steam traps. Thermostatic traps use a diaphragm or bellows, within which is a volatile liquid, sealed under vacuum. The trap opens and closes in a modulating manner dependent upon the temperature affecting it. The trap s normal state is wide open to expel air and condensate. When surrounded by steam at saturated temperature, the volatile fill flashes, creating an internal pressure equal to the surrounding pressure. This equalization of pressures allows the bellows to expand to its natural length or closed position, preventing steam from passing. The presence of condensate sufficiently cools the bellows to condense the vapor within. Once again the external pressure is greater and the bellows reverts back to its contracted, or open position, allowing the condensate to drain from the trap, permitting more steam to enter the radiator and thus, modulating action of the trap. There were several Pre-Installation traps that failed at ESB. The failure resulted in steam loss and equipment operational issues. Retrofitting all the steam traps helped reduce steam wastage Pre-Installation System Conditions All of the steam radiators at ESB are fitted with thermostatic steam traps. There were several Pre- Installation traps that failed at ESB Post-Installation System Conditions As part of the performance contract, all radiator steam traps were retrofitted ECM M&V Methodology The savings for this ECM is stipulated upon installation of the steam traps. A summary of steam trap savings from Johnson Controls change order with ESB is shown below: Steam Trap Calculated Savings $520,180 Steam Trap Guaranteed Savings $320,000 Steam Trap Guaranteed Steam Savings Table : Steam Trap Stipulated Savings 10,059,100 Mlbs ECM 2 16

23 The change order energy savings calculation showed an annual steam savings of 16,351,695 Mlbs due to the steam trap retrofit. Johnson Controls was conservative in discounting the projected savings by 38.5%. During PY2, stipulated savings equivalent to 10,059,100 Mlbs is claimed by Johnson Controls. The energy savings (in $) is calculated using the stipulated Mlbs savings and 2012 Summer Steam Rate PY ECM Performance Savings ECM target performance (per contract) and the PY Baseline adjustments set the 2012 ECM target savings at $496,887. Using ECM performance (per M&V) and the PY Baseline adjustments, Johnson Controls calculated the PY ECM performance savings to be $558,255. ECM 2 17

24 3. ECM 3: BAS RETROFIT 3.1 ECM 3.1: BAS DAMPER RETROFIT AND DEMAND CONTROLLED VENTILATION ECM Description Prior to retrofit, sample spaces were tested and it was found that the building s overall outside air intake was 0.25 cfm/sf. The goal of the ECM was to reduce the building s overall outside air intake by retrofitting the non-alerton Air-Handling Unit (AHU) with DCV and modulating dampers. Johnson Controls used American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) calculations to estimate that the minimum outside air ventilation requirement is 0.12 cfm/sf for an office building with 7 persons per 1,000SF. Minimum outside air ventilation is possible when CO 2 based DCV is combined with the ability to open dampers just enough to satisfy the ventilation demand. This cannot be achieved with the old two position dampers, but can be achieved with CO 2 based DCV controls and modulating dampers. Demand controlled ventilation is used to modulate outside air ventilation based on real time occupancy. DCV reduces unnecessary over-ventilation that may result when existing AHUs are set to provide ventilation for a maximum assumed occupancy. DCV saves energy while ensuring that ASHRAE Standard 62 ventilation rates are maintained at all times. Johnson Controls retrofitted non-alerton AHUs with CO 2 sensors on the return air duct. DCV was programmed for outside air activation at 800 ppm return air CO 2 threshold. Johnson Controls retrofitted non-alerton AHU units by replacing their two-position pneumatic damper system with new dampers (if broken), new actuators and DDC controls. The new damper system has the capability to modulate between 0% to 100% open/close position. Reducing outside air intake reduces the load on the building s HVAC system and generates energy savings Pre-Installation System Conditions Prior to the retrofit, non-alerton AHUs in the building were equipped with pneumatic dampers and actuators. Also, there was no DCV on the non-alerton AHUs. Sample spaces were tested and it was found that the building s average outside air intake was 0.25 cfm/sf Post-Installation System Conditions Johnson Controls retrofitted non-alerton AHUs with CO 2 sensors on the return air duct. DCV was programmed for outside air activation at 800 ppm return air CO 2 threshold. Johnson Controls also installed the new DDC damper system that is maintained at 10% minimum open position when the outside air temperature is higher than 68 F. During other times the damper modulates in accordance with the supply valve position. Controls were programmed so that the DCV takes precedence to temperature based damper control when return air CO 2 reaches threshold. ECM 3 18

25 3.1.4 ECM M&V Methodology The performance contract required that Johnson Controls retrofit the two-position pneumatic damper system in non-alerton AHU units with new dampers (if broken), new actuators, DCV and DDC controls (ECM Target). The new dampers, new actuators, DCV and DDC controls were verified to be operational (ECM Performance). The new dampers, new actuators, DCV and DDC controls were operated in the field as designed (Actual Performance). The analyzed plots are presented in Appendix 1. The data for the analysis was retrieved from the Metasys trend repository and from Facility Performance Indexing s (FPI) trend archive.

26 3.2 ECM 3.3: FAN SCHEDULING ECM Description The building has fans to provide AHU supply air, exhaust toilet space air and to exhaust building space air. Prior to the performance contract, the fans were manually turned On/Off and did not have DDC controls to automatically schedule On/Off. Johnson Controls installed DDC controls on the AHU fans to automatically schedule On/Off. The reduced fan run time resulted in: Reduced fan motor electric power consumption Reduced outside air intake, thereby reducing the need to condition it As part of the BAS retrofit, all non-alerton AHUs were connected to the newly installed Johnson Controls field controllers. These field controllers communicate with Network Automation Engines (NAEs) that tie into ESB s central Application and Data Server (ADX). ESB s Metasys operator workstation allows building operations personnel to program, monitor and change HVAC schedules Pre-Installation System Conditions Prior to the performance contract, the fans did not have DDC controls to automatically schedule On/Off. The fans were manually turned On/Off. The following table shows the manually operated Pre- Installation schedule.

28 4. ECM 4: CHILLER PLANT RETROFIT 4.1 ECM 4.1: CHILLER TUBES AND CHILLER VFD RETROFIT ECM Description There were four constant speed electric chillers at ESB. This ECM provided for a retrofit of these chiller compressors with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) and replaced chiller tubes. Chiller VSD Retrofit A constant-speed chiller reacts to lower load or lower entering-condenser-water temperature by closing its pre-rotation vanes, which throttle the refrigerant flow through the compressor in an effort to economize the energy consumption. As the vanes continue to close, they create frictional losses that affect the chiller s efficiency and limit the energy-saving potential of this approach. Use of a VSD will allow the compressor speed to modulate, in response to load, evaporator pressure, and condenser pressure. Despite the small power penalty attributed to the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), this control measure for the chiller yields outstanding overall efficiency improvement. Most chillers operate at part-load nearly 99% of the time which enhances the overall value of this retrofit. Additionally, the soft start feature, provided by the VFD, provides additional maintenance related value from less stress on compressor motor, gears and electrical components than a traditional motor starter. With its patented Adaptive Capacity Control, the VSD drive learns and remembers optimum speeds for various load and operational conditions. Unlike constant-speed chillers, a variable-speed chiller also maintains a stable power factor. Chiller Tubes Retrofit Pre-Installation chillers at ESB were about 18 years old. The evaporator and condenser tubes were significantly degraded over time, thereby increasing the fouling factor of the tubes. Fouling impedes heat transfer, which in turn impacts chiller capacity and efficiency. Johnson Controls replaced the evaporator and condenser tubes with new tubes, thereby increasing chiller capacity, chiller efficiency and chiller life Pre-Installation System Conditions There were four constant speed electric chillers in the building. The evaporator and condenser tubes were 18 years old and were significantly fouled over time Post-Installation System Conditions The four constant speed electric chillers in the building were retrofitted with VSDs. Johnson Controls replaced the fouled evaporator and condenser tubes with new tubes ECM M&V Methodology Department of Energy (DOE) electric chiller curves available in equest were used to simulate target performance. The curves were customized for ESB by adjusting them for York prescribed full-load performance at Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) conditions 100% load at 44 F Chilled Water (CHW) temperatures and 85 F Condenser Water (CW) temperatures (ECM Target). ECM 4 22

30 4.2 ECM 4.2: CHW SUPPLY TEMPERATURE RESET ECM Description Chiller performance improves when higher temperature CHW is produced. For example, a typical centrifugal chiller's efficiency can be 15 to 25% better when producing CHW at 55 F versus 42 F. In addition, using medium temperature CHW is a common method of preventing uncontrolled dehumidification while conditioning the sensible loads. It significantly improves the savings available from free cooling waterside economization. Low CHW temperatures are required to meet the building load during hot summer days. Chiller performance improvisation, without compromising capacity requirements, can be improved by incorporating CHW supply temperature reset controls. The BAS will automatically reset CHW supply temperature setpoint in response to outside air temperature conditions. Internal operation of the chiller remains within the factory supplied Chiller Plant Controls. However, an increase in CHW supply temperature results in increased variable CHW pumping system energy consumption. This penalty can be minimized by tuning the system to maintain minimum design flow through the AHU coils Pre-Installation System Conditions The CHW supply temperature setpoint was manually maintained at a constant 44 F temperature during most of the operating times Post-Installation System Conditions The performance contract requires Johnson Controls to install a functional CHW supply temperature reset control system that is capable of achieving 42 F to 50 F reset (ECM Target). Johnson Controls verified that the CHW supply temperature reset controls were not installed (ECM Performance). Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the building operation personnel maintained 42 F CHW supply temperature setpoint during summer and performed manual setpoint increases during shoulder season (Actual Operation) ECM M&V Methodology The implementation of CHW supply temperature reset controls was verified by analyzing CHW supply temperature vs. outside air temperature plots. Actual building operation was verified by analyzing CHW supply temperature vs. time. The analyzed plots are presented in this Report s Appendix.

32 4.3 ECM 4.3: CHW LOOP DELTA-T ENHANCEMENT ECM Description During design operating conditions, Pre-Installation CHW loop was running less than 10 F CHW delta-t conditions. Lower CHW delta-t increases chiller efficiency. But, for any given load condition, lowering the delta-t also increases CHW pump flow and hence, its electric power consumption. A low delta-t also inhibits the ability of the chiller to operate at peak capacity. Hence, increasing the CHW loop delta-t to an optimal design setting was desired. CHW loop delta-t was increased by: Changing the three-way valves to two-way valves in the Pre-Installation AHUs that were included in project Minimizing CHW flow rate using CHW pump VFD automation Post-Installation CHW loop delta-t was targeted to operate close to 10 F at design conditions. This ECM generates energy savings by increasing chiller efficiency and also improves operational capability by increasing chiller capacity Pre-Installation System Conditions The following conditions were observed during the Pre-Installation building audit. Low Zone CHW loop design condition delta-t: less than 7.8 F Mid Zone CHW loop design condition delta-t: less than 6 F High Zone CHW loop design condition delta-t: less than 6.9 F Post-Installation System Conditions In order to achieve the objective of this ECM, the performance contract required Johnson Controls to: Change the three-way valves to two-way valves in the Pre-Installation AHUs that were included in project. Minimize CHW flow rate using CHW pump VFD automation (ECM Target). The above scope was verified to be implemented by Johnson Controls (ECM Performance). Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the steam chillers were run during peak load conditions. Johnson Controls CHW loop delta-t instrumentation is located on the electric chillers and hence, design delta-t could not be trended. However, Johnson Controls trended the loop delta-t under part-load conditions and the summary of the results are shown below (Actual Operation). The details of the analysis are shown in the Appendix 3. Low Zone CHW loop part-load condition delta-t: 3 F -6 F Mid Zone CHW loop part-load condition delta-t: 3 F -9 F High Zone CHW loop part-load condition delta-t: 3 F -9 F ECM 4 26

Actual building operation was verified by analyzing CHW loop delta-t vs. time. The analyzed plots are presented in this Report s Appendix.

The pump flow will be automatically controlled to meet the CHW loop differential pressure setpoint. The installed system was tuned in the field to find the correct differential pressure setpoint that helps the system meet varying building load conditions. Varying the speed of a motor to match the actual load improves control as well as reduces electrical motor power (kw), which may result in both comfort improvement and electrical energy savings. Varying the speed of the motor is generally accomplished by varying voltage and frequency to the motor. The motor is connected to the CHW pump. As the system s load changes, consequently so does the required motor driven output. A control program and the VFD will modulate the speed of the motor and match the output to the load. By reducing the speed of an electric motor, the energy required by the motor is reduced significantly. The actual power required is proportional to the cube of the speed. For example, if a motor s speed is reduced to 80%, the motor s energy consumption is decreased by approximately 50%. The theoretical energy savings through speed reduction is shown in the general relationship below: (bhp2/bhp1)= (W2/W1)^3 where: w2 = VFD controlled motor speed (varies) w1 = motor/fan/pump existing speed (constant) bhp2 = VFD controlled motor brake horsepower (varies) bhp1 = Brake horsepower required before VFD is installed ECM 4 27

34 The generic pump characteristic plot below illustrates that generic pump power consumption reduces with reduction in VFD speed. For example, reducing the VFD speed by 10% reduces pump energy usage by 27%. Figure : The generic pump characteristic plot illustrates that generic pump power consumption reduces with reduction in VFD speed Two-way valves on the cooling coils ensure that CHW is supplied only when there is demand at the AHU. Hence, two-way valves create differential pressure variation in the CHW loop. The VFD speed can be reduced when loop differential pressure decreases and the loop minimum flow can still be maintained. In addition to the energy savings, this ECM increases equipment reliability and decreases operating cost by reducing the load on the bearings Pre-Installation System Conditions All CHW pumps were equipped with VFDs. But the drives were not set up to adjust speed automatically with varying building differential pressure. All VFDs were operating at constant full speed during most of the operating times Post-Installation System Conditions The performance contract requires Johnson Controls to install a functional CHW pump VFD automation system that is capable of automatically varying VFD Speed between 100% and 50% (min) to meet building differential pressure setpoint (ECM Target). The CHW pump VFD automation system was fully installed and is capable of automatically varying VFD speed between 100% and 50% (min) to meet building differential pressure setpoint (ECM Performance). Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the CHW pump VFDs were run in the manual mode at reduced speeds (Actual Operation). The verification indicates that: Low Zone pumps were operating at 67% speed from July to October and at 58% speed during rest of the time. Mid Zone pumps were operating at 67% speed from July to December and at 58% speed during rest of the time. High Zone pumps were operating at 67% speed from October to December and at 58% speed during rest of the time. ECM 4 28

CW supply temperature reset strategy was implemented to provide low temperature CW, to the extent allowed by the chiller manufacturer. Cooling tower fan power increases to produce lower temperature CW but chiller efficiency gains typically dominate the economic considerations of this optimization strategy. Most of the energy consumed by a chiller is used to move refrigerant vapor from the evaporator (low pressure) to the condenser (high pressure). As the pressure differential between the evaporator and condenser increases, the compressor must work harder to move the refrigerant. Lowering CW temperature decreases this pressure differential, so the compressor does less work. Electric chiller efficiency improves with decreased CW supply temperature. Cooling tower controls are initially set to achieve 70 F tower water during design conditions. When ambient conditions are appropriate, the controls can be reset to produce water that is cooler than 70 F. The Cooling Tower Water Supply Temperature (CTWST) was reset to achieve 5 F cooling tower approach above ambient wet-bulb temperature and it will generate significant energy savings without wasting cooling tower fan energy. The reset was programmed to be 60 F to 75 F, when OAWBT was between 55 F and 70 F. ECM 4 29

36 4.5.2 Pre-Installation System Conditions The CTWST temperature setpoint was manually maintained at a constant 70 F temperature during most of the operating times Post-Installation System Conditions The performance contract requires Johnson Controls to install a functional CW reset control system that is capable of achieving 65 F to 70 F reset (ECM Target). Johnson Controls verified that the CW reset controls were installed and programmed to be 60 F to 75 F, when OAWBT was between 55 F and 70 F (ECM Performance). Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the building operation personnel manually maintained CW supply temperature at 55 F to 70 F. Johnson Controls also installed a program to automatically set 71 F CW supply temperature when the steam chiller mode is selected (Actual Operation) ECM M&V Methodology The implementation of CW supply temperature reset controls was verified by analyzing Metasys programming.

Eight of the fans are single speed On/Off type. Two of the fans were fitted with manually controllable VFD. This ECM automated the manually controlled cooling tower VFD system into an automatically controlled cooling tower VFD system. The fan speed is now automatically controlled to meet the Cooling Tower Water Leaving Temperature (CTWLT) setpoint. In addition, controls were installed to automatically stage the two fan VFDs. Varying the speed of a motor to match the actual load improves control as well as reduces electrical motor power (kw) which may result in both comfort improvement and electrical energy savings.

41 5. ECM 5: TENANT ENERGY MANAGEMENT PORTAL 5.1 ECM 5: TEM PORTAL ECM Description Johnson Controls setup an improvised energy dashboard for the customer. The dashboard was developed using Johnson Controls Gridlogix software and is a web-based tool that displays a number of energy use variables. Johnson Controls provides a connection to the building controls system with automatic data transfers of electric submeter data. The dashboard shows energy use compared to relevant variables. The dashboard provides information for each floor of the building and is password protected. A series of alarms are triggered if energy use exceeds expected ranges on any tenant floor. The tenant is able to view current energy consumption in kilowatts along with associated metrics (kw/sq. ft., kw, kwh etc.) as well as historical consumption. The tenant is able to view their comparative consumption relative to other tenants who are under the same ownership structure. A web-based portal displaying tenant specific electric utility consumption is metered building-wide using a Satec BFM136 utility grade smart-meter network, endorsing energy-efficient practices within the tenant space. The EnNET /AEM platform provides 15 minute meter data and creates a normalized data base that can be used to support Time Series profiling, reporting to ISO and future integration with property management software for creating a bill based on current meter read should a tenant terminate a lease Pre-Installation System Conditions Johnson Controls Gridlogix verified the connectivity to each meter. Johnson Controls Gridlogix was not responsible for the physical connection (wired or wireless) to the existing main/sub meters or a third party device required to collect the 15 minute pulse data. The data was in a protocol format that Johnson Controls supports such as Modbus, BACnet, SNMP. Data protocol was BACnet which fully supported auto discovery. Johnson Controls Gridlogix commissioned and verified the EnNET software connection and read the meter data properly. Johnson Controls Gridlogix established the rules base and monitored notifications for successfully creating, archiving and ensuring quality of service. Johnson Controls Gridlogix commissioned the AEM application and built the web pages to properly display metering data, time series analysis, real-time metering information and created notifications based on usage parameters Post-Installation System Conditions The deployment of TEM was completed in Year Due to increasing installation of submeters and requests to contemporized existing TEM, Johnson Controls proceeded with development of enhanced TEM. During third quarter of Year 2012, a new dashboard, TEM2, went in production to meet and exceed the growing platform at the site. TEM2 platform includes customer facing interactive applications such as: A green kiosk on how to save energy tips Building/industry tweets ECM 5 35

42 Sustainability trending Information on various retrofit performed at site Tenant specific dashboard to display various matrices Reporting module tenant and administration based Energy analyzer with ability to view sub-metering at a granular level ECM M&V Methodology The basis of savings is a combination of temperature controls by building and energy monitoring by individual tenant. By using TEM, tenants can consistently monitor and take a proactive approach in reducing the demand and consumption by utilizing various avenues mentioned in TEM. The following measurements were performed to determine whether the TEM metering achieves the Guaranteed Annual Savings Amount: Johnson Controls trends the space temperature setpoints and enters the values in the equest Model. The setpoints in the room can be adjusted upward during summer and downward during winter. Johnson Controls trends the difference between site standard temperature setpoint and the tenant selected setpoint. The tenants have access to a thermostat with a slider that can change the zone setpoints by a user selected value. The slider is set so that in the summer the tenant can only select between the building standard setpoint and a higher setpoint. In winter, the tenant is able to select between the building standard setpoint and a lower setpoint. Johnson Controls inspects the tenant utility meter screens from a common sense point of view. Any newly added tenant meter screens are verified. It is the responsibility of the customer to add new meters to the system. The Customer agrees to operate the conditioned spaces in the Site within the temperature ranges scheduled in the Temperature Control table below. Operating conditions outside the range specified in this table shall constitute a Cause for Adjustment. In the event that an adjustment to the Baseline is sought, Johnson Controls shall submit the proposed Baseline adjustments to the Customer and describe the reasons for the adjustment as part of the prior year calculations described in Schedule B.

45 Appendix 1: BAS Retrofit Data Analysis DATA ANALYSIS Damper Retrofit and DCV The goal of the ECM was to reduce the building s overall outside air intake by retrofitting the non- Alerton AHU with DCV and modulating dampers. Minimum outside air ventilation is possible when CO 2 based DCV is combined with the ability to open dampers just enough to satisfy the ventilation demand. This cannot be achieved with the old two position dampers, but can be achieved with CO 2 based DCV controls and modulating dampers. Demand controlled ventilation is used to modulate outside air ventilation based on real time occupancy. DCV reduces unnecessary over-ventilation that may result when existing AHUs are set to provide ventilation for a maximum assumed occupancy. Johnson Controls retrofitted non-alerton AHUs with CO 2 sensor on the return air duct. DCV was programmed for outside air activation at 800 ppm return air CO 2 threshold. Also, Johnson Controls retrofitted non-alerton AHU units by replacing their two-position pneumatic damper system with new dampers (if broken), new actuators and DDC controls. The new damper system has the capability to modulate anywhere between 0% to 100% open/close position. Outside air damper position % and return air CO 2 ppm level data for High Zone AHUs-52.5, 52.4 and Mid Zone AHU -39.4, Low Zone AHU15.8 were taken from Metasys data repository server. The analyzed data trends (shown below) indicated that outside damper position increased when the CO 2 ppm in the return air increased above the threshold level of 800ppm. The data trends demonstrate that the DCV system was installed and is operational. The data was taken from January 2012 to December 2012 period.

The following charts show the outside air damper position percentage and CO 2 ppm level trends during building occupied hours. The trends indicate that outside air dampers modulate between 0% to 100%. Also, these plots show that the outside air damper position was fixed when outside air temperature goes above 68 F.

The building has fans to provide AHU supply air, exhaust toilet space air and to exhaust building space air. Prior to the performance contract, the fans did not have the DDC controls to automatically schedule On/Off. Johnson Controls installed DDC controls on the AHU s to automatically schedule On/Off. As part of the BAS retrofit, all non-alerton AHU supply fans were connected to BAS and the scheduling feature was enabled. AHU Supply Fan Scheduling: Supply fan run status data for AHU 15-7, 15-8, 39-4 and 48-4 was taken from the Metasys data server and the trend data for each unit are shown below. The data clearly indicate that the units were operating for 12 hours/day during most of the time. A few of units operated for 15 hours/day from June to Oct. The following lists the average operating hours: Appendix 1: BAS Retrofit Data Analysis 42

52 Appendix 2: Chiller Retrofit Data Analysis Chiller Curve fit Modeling Methodology Trended chiller data was used to create custom chiller performance curves in equest to best-fit the data. The data that was used to calculate chiller performance includes: VSD Input kw VSD Output Frequency (used for comparison and trouble shooting) Leaving CHWT Entering CHWT (used for comparison and trouble shooting) CHW Flow Rate Leaving CWT (used for comparison and trouble shooting) Entering CWT From the trended data, several output values were calculated, including Chiller load (tons) Adjusted chiller capacity, to account for CHWT and CWT impacts - this was calculated using the default equest capacity adjustment curve, which is typical for most centrifugal chillers % Full-Load, using calculated adjusted capacity and calculated load Chiller Efficiency (kw/ton) To compare the DOE2 default curves to the actual trended chiller data, the chiller kw was calculated for the given trend conditions for all of the data points which was then compared to the trended chiller kw by calculating the Mean Bias Error (MBE) and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). For the entire data set, an overall MBE and coefficient of variation for the RSME was then calculated. MBE = kw measured kw calculated kw measured CV(RMSE) = n 1 kw measured kw calculated 2 n kw measured To determine the best fit for the data, the solver function in Excel was used to minimize the Coefficient of Variation for the data set while using constraints to maintain the specified full-load ARI condition efficiency. Part of fitting the data was to estimate each chiller's full-load efficiency at ARI conditions. For many of the chillers, limited or no data was available at full-loading conditions and ARI conditions (note that ARI rating conditions are 100% load at 85 F CWT and 44 F CHWT). This was due to the chiller staging strategy utilized in 2012 which involved base loading the steam chiller during on-peak electrical hours to limit the building demand. For the chillers with no trended points at ARI conditions, engineering judgment was used to determine an acceptable ARI rating for the chiller. This involved finding the full-load points available and adjusting the measured performance at that point to account for the variance in conditions from ARI rating conditions (e.g. a chiller operating at full-load with 75 F CWT typically has a lower kw/ton than the same chiller operating at 85 F CWT).

58 Appendix 3: Chiller Plant Retrofit Data Analysis 3.1 CHWST Reset Chiller performance improves when higher temperature CHW is produced. Low CHW temperatures are required to meet the building load during hot summer days. Chiller performance improvisation, without compromising capacity requirements, can be achieved by incorporating CHW supply temperature reset controls. Increase in CHW supply temperature results in increased variable CHW pumping system energy consumption. This penalty can be minimized by tuning the system to maintain minimum design flow through the AHU coils. Johnson Controls verified that the CHW supply temperature reset controls were not installed and hence, no savings were claimed in Chiller 1: CHWST vs. Outside Air Temperature Figure A shows the CHWST during various outside air temperature conditions for Chiller 1.

62 Figure A.3.1.8: Chiller 6 CHWST Trend during Summer 2012 Conditions 3.2 CHW Loop Delta-T Enhancement Lower CHW delta-t increases chiller efficiency. But for any given load condition, lowering the delta-t also increases CHW pump flow and hence, its electric power consumption. A low delta-t also inhibits the ability of the chiller to operate at peak capacity. Hence, increasing the CHW loop delta-t to an optimal design setting was desired. Post-Installation CHW loop delta-t was targeted to operate close to 10 F under design conditions. CHW loop delta-t was increased by: Changing the three-way valves to two-way valves in the Pre-Installation AHUs that were included in project Minimizing CHW flow rate using CHW pump VFD automation Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the steam chillers were run during peak load conditions. Johnson Controls CHW loop delta-t instrumentation is located on the electric chillers and hence, design delta-t could not be trended. However, Johnson Controls trended the loop delta-t under part-load conditions and the summary of the results are shown below.

69 3.3 CHW Pump VFD Automation This ECM automated the manually controlled variable flow CHW system into an automatically controlled variable flow CHW system. The pump flow will be automatically controlled to meet the CHW loop differential pressure setpoint. Two-way valves on the cooling coils ensure that CHW is supplied only when there is demand at the AHU. Hence, two-way valves create differential pressure variation in the CHW loop. The VFD speed can be reduced when loop differential pressure decreases and the loop minimum flow can still be maintained. The CHW pump VFD automation system was fully installed and is capable of automatically varying VFD speed between 100% and 50% (min) to meet building differential pressure setpoint. However, the trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the CHW pump VFDs were run in the manual mode at reduced speeds. Low Zone CHW Pump VFD Speed Figure A shows the VFD speed levels for the Low Zone CHW pumps. This histogram demonstrates that all Low Zone pumps were operating in the manual mode either at 58% speed or at 67% speed. Figure A.3.3.1: VFD Speed Levels for the Low Zone CHW Pumps Mid Zone CHW Pump VFD Speed Figure A shows the VFD speed levels for the Mid Zone CHW pumps. This histogram demonstrates that all Mid Zone pumps were operating in the manual mode between 53% to 70% speed. Appendix 3: Chiller Plant Retrofit Data Analysis 63

This histogram demonstrates that all High Zone pumps were operating in the manual mode either at 58% speed or at 67% speed. Figure A.3.3.3: VFD Speed Levels for the High Zone CHW Pumps 3.4 CW Supply Temperature Reset Chiller performance increases significantly at lower CW temperatures. CW supply temperature reset strategy was implemented to provide low temperature CW, to the extent allowed by the chiller manufacturer. Cooling tower fan power increases to produce lower temperature CHW but chiller efficiency gains typically dominate the optimization. Appendix 3: Chiller Plant Retrofit Data Analysis 64

71 Cooling tower controls are initially set to achieve 70 F tower water during design condition. When ambient conditions are appropriate, the controls can be reset to produce water that is cooler than 70 F. The CTWST was reset to achieve 5 F cooling tower approach above ambient wet-bulb temperature and it will generate significant energy savings without wasting cooling tower fan energy. The reset was programmed to be 60 F to 75 F when OAWBT was between 55 F and 70 F. Figure A.3.4.1: CTWLT during Various OAWBT Temperature Conditions Figure A.3.4.2: CTWLT Trend during Summer 2012 Conditions Figure A shows the CTWLT during various OAWBT temperature conditions. Figure A shows the CTWLT trend during summer 2012 conditions. Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the building operation personnel manually maintained CW supply temperature at 55 F to 70 F. Johnson Controls also installed a program to automatically set 71 F CW supply temperature when the steam chiller mode is selected. Appendix 3: Chiller Plant Retrofit Data Analysis 65

72 3.5 Cooling Tower Fan VFD Automation The cooling tower has ten cells and each of them is fitted with a separate cooling fan. Eight of the fans are single speed On/Off type. Two of the fans were fitted with manually controllable VFD. This ECM automated the manually controlled cooling tower VFD system into an automatically controlled cooling tower VFD system. The fan speed is now automatically controlled to meet the CTWLT setpoint. In addition, controls were installed to automatically stage the two fan VFDs. Johnson Controls verified that the manually controlled cooling tower VFD system was converted into an automatically controlled cooling tower VFD system. The fan speed is now automatically controlled to meet the CTWLT setpoint. In addition, controls were installed to automatically stage the two fan VFDs. Trending analysis shows that, in 2012, the ECM was operated as designed (Actual Operation).

The pump flow will be automatically controlled to meet CW flow setpoint determined by the electric chiller the loading conditions. Johnson Controls installed a functional CW pump VFD automation system that is capable of automatically varying VFD Speed to meet CW flow requirements set by the electric chiller load conditions. CW pump VFD automation cannot be used when the steam chillers are operational. Appendix 3: Chiller Plant Retrofit Data Analysis 67

77 Appendix 4: Steam Chiller Usage Data Analysis ESB predominately uses steam for heating system and to run the steam operated chiller for cooling load. The building receives steam from ConEdison Company (ConEd) from their district heating system. There are five steam meters for the entire building and sum of all these meters gives the total steam usage. Steam usage (lbs/hr) from all five steam meters was collected from the ConEd and was analyzed as shown below. The hourly profile indicates that the overall consumption varies from 2,000 lbs/hour in night to 40,000 lbs/hour in day time. Figure A.4.1: Steam Usage Hourly Trend The chart below indicates that building average base winter load varies from 3,000 to 7,000 lbs/hr during night time and average peak winter load vary from 26,000 to 34,000 lbs/hour during day time. During summer, the base summer load was around 2,000 lbs/hr to 3,000 lbs/hr during night time and 7,000 to 18,000 lbs/hr during day time. Further, the chart indicates the daytime consumption increased at around 5 a.m. in summer and 8 a.m. in winter. The further analysis as indicated in the subsequent section shows that the steam mainly used to operate steam chillers during the day time from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appendix 5: Occupancy Modeling Methodology 71

These two plots shows that the steam chillers were operated mainly from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. All remaining hours electric chillers were in operation.

The chart includes utility bill steam usage and the ConEd hourly steam usage. Both data almost matched except for some variations due to overalapping days in the bill. This chart indicates high steam usage during winter and low usage during summer period. Figure A.4.5 Monthly Total Steam Usage Vs HDD Appendix 5: Occupancy Modeling Methodology 73

80 Appendix 5: Occupancy Modeling Methodology PY building occupancy data was provided by ESB s leasing agent, Newmark Knight Frank. Actual move-in and move-out dates from the quarterly planbook were utilized to accurately calculate the vacancy rate of the building as of April, July, November, and December. Usable square feet metric from the plan book was used as the basis for the percentage calculations. The following calculation method was utilized to estimate floor level vacancy rate: Floor (n) Vacancy Rate (%) = (Total Vacant Square Feet on Floor (n))/ (Total Square Feet on Floor (n)) Where, (n) represents a specific floor. These April, July, November, and December vacancy rates were extrapolated to estimate month by month averages, which were used to calculate a total annual average vacancy per floor. The annual average vacancy rates were then used to determine an overall average vacancy rate per CHW zone based on average level vacancy rates and modeled usable square footages per level. The low CHW zone serves the concourse level through Level 5, the mid CHW zone serves Levels 6 through 41, and the high CHW zone serves Levels 42 through 103. Based on the total annual average per CHW zone, an annual vacant square footage is determined. A number of modeled levels are assumed to be vacant to match this annual vacant square footage, which is indicated by the highlighted floors in the tables on the following pages. The vacant levels have been modeled with no internal loads due to tenants (lighting and equipment), and the vacant tenant levels are assumed to have HVAC setbacks to 85 F for cooling and 60 F for heating in the tenant areas, as well as the corridors, restrooms, and building core support spaces on the vacant levels. Vacancy rate was applied to the "modeled tenant SF" and the resulting vacant spaces were setback. Non-tenant SF (=Total SF Tenant SF) was assumed to be conditioned, but not setback. Johnson Controls physically measured all the floor spaces in ESB and calculated the total building SF to be 2,575,565 SF (this includes tenant space, corridors, mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, stairwells, etc). Newmark Knight Frank s plan book shows that, as much as 2,070,966 SF is used as tenant spaces. These numbers compares closely with the modeled square feet which were based on building floor plans. In the model, the vacant tenant SF is setback 24/7. In the model, occupied tenant SF, elevator shaft, corridors and stairwells are all setback per the AHU supply fan schedule.

The fact that the Year 2 curve has a lower slope than the Baseline year, the building electric savings will increase during warmer ambient conditions in the summer season. For example, during a typical shoulder month of 200 CDD, the building electric savings equates to 1,263,000 kwh or $265,222 utilizing the $.21/kWh rate. In addition, during a typical summer month of 400 CDD, the electric savings would equal 1,526,000 kwh with a cost savings of $320,443 utilizing the $.21/kwh rate. The lower electric base load consumption level (y-intercept) for the Post-Installation conditions indicates a performance improvement during non-cooling conditions as well. Appendix 7: Utility Analysis 88

95 Winter Steam Consumption Vs HDD Steam Consumption (mlbs) 20,000 18,000 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2, Winter Steam Usage 2011 Winter Steam Usage 2012 Winter Steam Usage 7% to 31% Reduction in Consumption During the Coldest Month HDD Figure A.7.2: Reduction in ESB s 2007 Baseline Steam Utility Consumption during Performance Period Analyzing the thermal profile graph which compares the Baseline year (2007) and the Year 2 (2012) total building steam usage (Mlbs) as a function of HDD clearly indicates improved building performance throughout the heating seasons. The Year 2 curve has a lower slope than the Baseline curve which indicates that during colder ambient periods the building consumes less steam to maintain proper building temperature conditions. In addition, as the ambient temperature gets colder the savings rise substantially due to the improved performance of the building. For example, during a typical shoulder month of 400 heating degree days, the steam savings calculated would equate to 3325 Mlbs or $99,739 utilizing the rate of $30/Mlb. Additionally, the steam savings would elevate to a level of $214,430 during a typical winter month of 800 HDD with a $30/Mlb utility rate. The steam usage base load for the building during the non-hdd periods can be attributed to the operation of the steam chillers for cooling. The deviation in the y-intercept (steam base load) between the plotted years can be referenced back to the variation in occupancy and weather during the cooling seasons. The steam usage patterns for January and February of 2012 are significantly higher than expected due to the steam trap failures diagnosed last year and the overheating of construction areas with limited temperature control capabilities. EUI Analysis Energy Use Intensity is a measure of a building s total energy consumption compared to its size. At the Empire State Building, both electrical (kwh) and thermal steam (Mlb) have been yearly totalized and converted to kbtu. Adjusting for weather, this energy is then divided by ESB s square feet to represent EUI. When comparing ESB against other office buildings in Manhattan and around NYC, ESB is a leader. Results prove that the energy efficient steps being made at ESB have made a significant impact. Appendix 7: Utility Analysis 89

96 For the purpose of calculating ESB s EUI the following assumptions were made: a) Total square feet of 2,750,847 was used for floors LL to 84 building area. b) The broadcasting floor electric usage was deducted from total electric utility c) It was assumed that the broadcasting equipment generates a lot of heat and that minimal steam is used for space heating. d) Annual EUI was normalized for 30 year normal ( ) degree days from NOAA (Nation Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). New York City Central Park weather Station data was used and a 65 F Base was assumed. Monthly degree day data taken from degreedays.net Figure A.7.3: Reduction in ESB s EUI during Performance Period Figure A.7.4: Median NYC Office Building EUI = (Source: NYC Local Law 84 Benchmarking Report Aug 12 - nyc.gov) Appendix 7: Utility Analysis 90

97 Figure A.7.3 shows ESB s EUI during the project PYs. Figure A.7.4 shows the EUI for median NYC office buildings. Comparing ESB's EUI against a typical office space is not an apples-to-apples comparison due to the variance introduced by broadcasting, lower level, concourse, observation deck usage patterns. But, there is still some value in comparing them as long as this variance is understood. Although LL and Concourse do not reflect normal office conditions, sensitivity analysis shows that the abnormality does not affect the overall EUI much. Figure A.7.4 histogram suggests that ESB's EUI lies within the 5% to 10% of the sample. ESB has an active energy and maintenance program that validates this level of performance.

99 Appendix 8: FPI Delivered by Johnson Controls Building Efficiency, JCFPI is a Web-Based, user-friendly performance and diagnostics information management system that continuously measures the operating characteristics of heating and air conditioning systems. Using this information, facility owners and maintenance personnel can identify energy saving opportunities as well as identify equipment deficiencies before failure events occur. This information can be used to drive and focus a facility maintenance program. JCFPI simplifies complex, and often obscure data, into usable information that any user can instantly understand. Armed with JCFPI measurements, intelligent decisions regarding capital expenditures and maintenance activities can be made. Using the intuitive web-based user-interface and the built-in report generator, JCFPI can quickly recognize and then prioritize the under-performing systems. Personnel can then make adjustments and use JCFPI to verify the success of changes with immediate feedback. JCFPI provides a continuous and consistent relative-performance measurement. JCFPI is a Commission as You Go tool that transforms the traditional calendar-based maintenance strategy to a proactive condition-based strategy. The Chiller Performance analysis compares actual chiller performance to a software model of the manufacturer s part-load performance curve. The JCFPI system can be installed behind the customer s Firewall or be located in the Cloud. JCFPI can also JCFPI Reports to any e- Mail address on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. To ensure data integrity, JCFPI now is capable of ing a daily heartbeat notification or, should it occur, a data collection failure notification to the user(s). With JCFPI, managing facilities and managing the associated data becomes easier. ESB FPI Features Johnson Controls Facility Performance Indexing (JCFPI) consists of up to five available sections: HVAC & Utility Meter Performance monitoring, Chiller Performance Analysis, Measurement & Verification Reporting and Metasys BAS Diagnostics. Performance Monitoring Johnson Controls has developed patented algorithms to evaluate and measure system and facility performance. This continuous condition assessment is an extremely valuable management tool that provides facilities management with the knowledge to manage the life cycle and maintenance costs of the assets effectively. Managers will have the data they need to achieve optimum performance, increase reliability, reduce unnecessary maintenance, sustain useful asset life and improve life cycle cost. Continuous Measurement Data is continuously collected from the BAS. That data is stored in an SQL database, where the performance algorithms calculate the performance indices. Consistent performance parameters are used allowing for an apples-to-apples comparisons of system performance. Data Simplified Today s BAS systems produce tremendous amounts of data. JCFPI simplifies the vast amounts of data, and focuses the end-user on what is really important. The data is accessed thru a simple to use web page. JCFPI uses an intuitive red, yellow, green color format on the performance web page along with a zero to100-based performance index. Instead of the traditional single-point failure alarm, JCFPI evaluates the entire control strategy of each individual piece of HVAC equipment (including air handlers, chillers, boilers, roof top units, heat exchangers, variable air volume boxes, and more) using benchmarks Appendix 8: FPI 93

100 established in the twelve years of JCFPI s development. JCFPI easily evaluates large quantities of equipment and simplifies complex data for everybody - regardless of experience. Measurement and Verification Reporting JCFPI collects data from the BAS and stores that data in the JCFPI server database. The data is accessible thru the JCFPI web page. Using the calendar controls of the web pages, the user can easily select the data they need and then off-load that data in various formats directly to their computers. The trended data can be viewed as charts or in tabular formats. This data can include trended information, system runtimes and energy meter totalization. This data can then be utilized to prove energy savings and identify energy waste. The data can also be used to support the continuous measurement requirements of LEED EB certification. Advantages of ESB FPI JCFPI is used for continuous commissioning of existing buildings and for commissioning of new facilities. Unlike traditional methods for commissioning which involve limited point in time data collection, JCFPI collects and analyzes data continuously. JCFPI can be used for continuous commissioning to earn additional LEED points when applying for LEED EB certification. JCFPI will: Identify problems before typical alarm or failure events occur Identify problems you were unaware of Provide root-cause analysis Confirm existing problems Provide something unique; a relative measurement Easily identify opportunities for improving control and performance Help prioritize maintenance activities Identify when maintenance is required Enable a shift to condition-based maintenance strategies Provide a simple, easy-to-use web-based interface Provide immediate feedback as changes are implemented Validate the success or failure of maintenance or control changes Provide a Baseline performance measurement Generate performance reports based on user selections identifying the poorest performers for the period of time selected Utilize the existing points in the control system Automatically update JCFPI software JCFPI will not: Generate alarms Fix problems -It identifies problems Appendix 8: FPI 94

101 ESB FPI Dashboard A snapshot of the live FPI system at ESB is shown in Figure A6.1. This dashboard shows both the Systems and Components level summary of the building and the associated performance index range at that time. During 2012, further customer training has been completed at ESB (Nov 27th), as well as a FPI system update. This update includes the addition of any new building systems (since completion of base project 2010) associated with the ongoing floor build-outs at ESB. The current system is analyzing 1,883 systems, 10,420 components, and 20,853 points. Figure A.8.1: Screenshot Showing ESB FPI Dashboard BAS System Compliance with FPI A snapshot of a sample compliance report that is generated by FPI is shown in Figure A6.2. This particular report is from 11AM 12/19/12. The compliance report provides a way to identify poor performing systems and helps indicate the reason for underperformance. This includes, but not limited to, deviation from setpoint or command status, and helps prioritize where to focus corrective actions within the building. As ESB optimizes their building, the system compliance scores will increase and turn green. Appendix 8: FPI 95

102 Figure A.8.2: Screenshot Showing ESB FPI System Compliance ESB FPI System Diagnostics The example below shows FPI tracking zone temperature and comparing it to zone setpoint. This zone (46 th floor) is achieving poor performance as the space temperature is much higher than setpoint. Identifying problem areas like these can help ESB mitigate tenant complaints, possibly before they happen and also help to save energy.
