Limitations of Study This energy audit is intended to identify and recommend potential areas of energy savings, estimate the value of the savings, and provide an opinion of the costs to implement the recommendations. This audit meets the criteria of a Level 2 Investment Grade Audit (IGA) per the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), and is valid for one year. The life of the IGA may be extended on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of AHFC. In preparing this report, the preparers acted with the standard of care prevalent in this region for this type of work. All results are dependent on the quality of input data provided. Not all data could be verified and no destructive testing or investigations were undertaken. Some data may have been incomplete. This report is not intended to be a final design document. Any modifications or changes made to a building to realize the savings must be designed and implemented by licensed, experienced professionals in their fields. Lighting upgrades should undergo a thorough lighting analysis to assure that the upgrades will comply with State of Alaska Statutes as well as Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations. All liabilities for upgrades, including but not limited to safety, design, and performance are incumbent upon the professional(s) who prepare the design. Siemens Industry, Inc (SII) and Central Alaska Engineering Company (CAEC) bear no responsibility for work performed as a result of this report. Financial ratios may vary from those forecasted due to the uncertainty of the final installed design, configuration, equipment selected, installation costs, related additional work, or the operating schedules and maintenance provided by the owner. Furthermore, many ECMs are interactive, so implementation of one ECM may impact the performance of another ECM. SII and CAEC accept no liability for financial loss due to ECMs that fail to meet the forecasted financial ratios.

3 The economic analyses for the ECMs relating to lighting improvements are based solely on energy savings. Additional benefits may be realized in reduced maintenance cost, deferred maintenance, and improved lighting quality. The new generation lighting systems have significantly longer life leading to long term labor savings, especially in high areas like Gyms and exterior parking lots. Lighting upgrades displace re-lamping costs for any fixtures whose lamps would otherwise be nearing the end of their lifecycle. This reduces maintenance costs for 3- years after the upgrade. An overall improvement in lighting quality, quantified by numerous studies, improves the performance of students and workers in the built environment. New lighting systems can be designed to address all of the above benefits.

The SIR is an indication of the profitability of a measure; the higher the SIR, the more profitable the project. An SIR greater than 1.0 indicates a cost effective project (i.e. more savings than cost). Remember that this profitability is based on the position of that Energy Efficiency Measure (EEM) in the overall list and assumes that the measures above it are implemented first. 2 Simple Payback (SP) is a measure of the length of time required for the savings from an EEM to payback the investment cost, not counting interest on the investment and any future changes in energy prices. It is calculated by dividing the investment cost by the expected first year savings of the EEM. With all of these energy efficiency measures in place, the annual utility cost can be reduced by $15,597 per year, or 23.8% of the buildings total energy costs. These measures are estimated to cost $189,298,400, for an overall simple payback period of 12,136.9 years. If only the costeffective measures are implemented, the annual utility cost can be reduced by $2,336 per year, or 3.6% of the buildings total energy costs. These measures are estimated to cost $12,075, for an overall simple payback period of 5.2 years.

8 2. AUDIT AND ANALYSIS BACKGROUND 2.1 Program Description This audit included services to identify, develop, and evaluate energy efficiency measures at the Public Safety Building. The scope of this project included evaluating building shell, lighting and other electrical systems, and HVAC equipment, motors and pumps. Measures were analyzed based on life cycle cost techniques, which include the initial cost of the equipment, life of the equipment, annual energy cost, annual maintenance cost, and a discount rate of 3.0%/year in excess of general inflation. 2.2 Audit Description Preliminary audit information was gathered in preparation for the site survey. The site survey provides critical information in deciphering where energy is used and what opportunities exist within a building. The entire site was surveyed to inventory the following to gain an understanding of how each building operates: Building envelope (roof, windows, etc.) Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment (HVAC) Lighting systems and controls Building specific equipment Water consumption, treatment (optional) & disposal The building site visit was performed to survey all major building components and systems. The site visit included detailed inspection of energy consuming components. Summary of building occupancy schedules, operating and maintenance practices, and energy management programs provided by the building manager were collected along with the system and components to determine a more accurate impact on energy consumption. Details collected from Public Safety Building enable a model of the building s energy usage to be developed, highlighting the building s total energy consumption, energy consumption by specific building component, and equivalent energy cost. The analysis involves distinguishing the different fuels used on site, and analyzing their consumption in different activity areas of the building. Public Safety Building is classified as being made up of the following activity areas: 1) Public Safety Building: 17,912 square feet In addition, the methodology involves taking into account a wide range of factors specific to the building. These factors are used in the construction of the model of energy used. The factors include: Occupancy hours AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 8 of 33

9 Local climate conditions Prices paid for energy 2.3. Method of Analysis Data collected was processed using AkWarm Energy Use Software to estimate energy savings for each of the proposed energy efficiency measures (EEMs). The recommendations focus on the building envelope; HVAC; lighting, plug load, and other electrical improvements; and motor and pump systems that will reduce annual energy consumption. EEMs are evaluated based on building use and processes, local climate conditions, building construction type, function, operational schedule, existing conditions, and foreseen future plans. Energy savings are calculated based on industry standard methods and engineering estimations. Our analysis provides a number of tools for assessing the cost effectiveness of various improvement options. These tools utilize Life Cycle Costing, which is defined in this context as a method of cost analysis that estimates the total cost of a project over the period of time that includes both the construction cost and ongoing maintenance and operating costs. Savings to Investment Ratio (SIR) = Savings divided by Investment Savings includes the total discounted dollar savings considered over the life of the improvement. When these savings are added up, changes in future fuel prices as projected by the Department of Energy are included. Future savings are discounted to the present to account for the time value of money (i.e. money s ability to earn interest over time). The Investment in the SIR calculation includes the labor and materials required to install the measure. An SIR value of at least 1.0 indicates that the project is cost effective total savings exceed the investment costs. Simple payback is a cost analysis method whereby the investment cost of a project is divided by the first year s savings of the project to give the number of years required to recover the cost of the investment. This may be compared to the expected time before replacement of the system or component will be required. For example, if a boiler costs $12,000 and results in a savings of $1,000 in the first year, the payback time is 12 years. If the boiler has an expected life to replacement of years, it would not be financially viable to make the investment since the payback period of 12 years is greater than the project life. The Simple Payback calculation does not consider likely increases in future annual savings due to energy price increases. As an offsetting simplification, simple payback does not consider the need to earn interest on the investment (i.e. it does not consider the time value of money). Because of these simplifications, the SIR figure is considered to be a better financial investment indicator than the Simple Payback measure. Measures are implemented in order of cost effectiveness. The program first calculates individual SIRs, and ranks all measures by SIR, higher SIRs at the top of the list. An individual measure must have an individual SIR>=1 to make the cut. Next the building is modified and resimulated with the highest ranked measure included. Now all remaining measures are re AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 9 of 33

10 evaluated and ranked, and the next most cost effective measure is implemented. AkWarm goes through this iterative process until all appropriate measures have been evaluated and installed. It is important to note that the savings for each recommendation is calculated based on implementing the most cost effective measure first, and then cycling through the list to find the next most cost effective measure. Implementation of more than one EEM often affects the savings of other EEMs. The savings may in some cases be relatively higher if an individual EEM is implemented in lieu of multiple recommended EEMs. For example implementing a reduced operating schedule for inefficient lighting will result in relatively high savings. Implementing a reduced operating schedule for newly installed efficient lighting will result in lower relative savings, because the efficient lighting system uses less energy during each hour of operation. If multiple EEM s are recommended to be implemented, AkWarm calculates the combined savings appropriately. Cost savings are calculated based on estimated initial costs for each measure. Installation costs include labor and equipment to estimate the full up front investment required to implement a change. Costs are derived from Means Cost Data, industry publications, and local contractors and equipment suppliers. 2.4 Limitations of Study All results are dependent on the quality of input data provided, and can only act as an approximation. In some instances, several methods may achieve the identified savings. This report is not intended as a final design document. The design professional or other persons following the recommendations shall accept responsibility and liability for the results. AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page of 33

11 3. Public Safety Building 3.1. Building Description (Photo From Google Maps) The 17,912 square foot Public Safety Building was constructed in 1993, with a normal occupancy of 0 people. The number of hours of operation for this building average 12.5 hours per day, considering all seven days of the week. Description of Heating and Cooling Plants The Heating Plants used in the building are: 80 Series #1 Fuel Type: Natural Gas Input Rating: 858,000 BTU/hr Steady State Efficiency: 63 % Idle Loss: 1.5 % Heat Distribution Type: Water Boiler Operation: All Year 80 Series #2 Fuel Type: Natural Gas Input Rating: 858,000 BTU/hr Steady State Efficiency: 63 % Idle Loss: 1.5 % Heat Distribution Type: Water Boiler Operation: All Year AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 11 of 33

12 Space Heating and Cooling Distribution Systems The two boilers provide hot water for the 4 unit heaters, 3 convection units, baseboard heaters, and the air handler heating coil. Water is fed through circulating pumps. There are no dedicated cooling units, but the building utilizes ventilation from the air handler. Domestic Hot Water System Domestic hot water is created by the main heating boilers via a heat exchanger located in the domestic water tank. A dedicated fractional horsepower circulating pump moves water from the primary heating loop into the domestic water heat exchanger. Description of Building Ventilation System The existing building ventilation system consists of an air handler unit and various building exhaust fans. Lighting The police station is lit primarily with T8 lamps. The fire station uses 250W metal halide lamps, which provide good opportunity for retrofit. Exterior lighting consists of high pressure sodium, incandescent, and metal halides. There is good opportunity for retrofit on exterior lights as well. Plug Loads Plug loads consist primarily of computers. Major Equipment The equipment list, available in Appendix A, is composed of major energy consuming equipment which through energy conservation measures could yield substantial energy savings. The list shows the major equipment in the building and pertinent information utilized in energy savings calculations. 3.2 Predicted Energy Use Energy Usage / Tariffs The electric usage profile charts (below) represents the predicted electrical usage for the building. If actual electricity usage records were available, the model used to predict usage was calibrated to approximately match actual usage. The electric utility measures consumption in kilowatt hours (kwh) and maximum demand in kilowatts (kw). One kwh usage is equivalent to 1,000 watts running for one hour. One KW of electric demand is equivalent to 1,000 watts AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 12 of 33

13 running at a particular moment. The basic usage charges are shown as generation service and delivery charges along with several non utility generation charges. The natural gas usage profile shows the predicted natural gas energy usage for the building. If actual gas usage records were available, the model used to predict usage was calibrated to approximately match actual usage. Natural gas is sold to the customer in units of 0 cubic feet (CCF), which contains approximately 0,000 BTUs of energy. The propane usage profile shows the propane usage for the building. Propane is sold by the gallon or by the pound, and its energy value is approximately 91,800 BTUs per gallon. The fuel oil usage profile shows the fuel oil usage for the building. Fuel oil consumption is measured in gallons. One gallon of #1 Fuel Oil provides approximately 132,000 BTUs of energy. The following is a list of the utility companies providing energy to the building and the class of service provided: Electricity: Homer Electric Assn (Homer) Commercial Lg Natural Gas: Enstar Natural Gas Commercial Lg The average cost for each type of fuel used in this building is shown below in Table 3.1. This figure includes all surcharges, subsidies, and utility customer charges: Table 3.1 Average Energy Cost Description Average Energy Cost Electricity $ /kWh Natural Gas $ 0.73/ccf Total Energy Use and Cost Breakdown At current rates, City of Kenai pays approximately $64,827 annually for electricity and other fuel costs for the Public Safety Building.

16 3.2.2 Energy Use Index (EUI) Energy Use Index (EUI) is a measure of a building s annual energy utilization per square foot of building. This calculation is completed by converting all utility usage consumed by a building for one year, to British Thermal Units (Btu) or kbtu, and dividing this number by the building square footage. EUI is a good measure of a building s energy use and is utilized regularly for comparison of energy performance for similar building types. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Buildings Technology Center under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy maintains a Benchmarking Building Energy Performance Program. The ORNL website determines how a building s energy use compares with similar facilities throughout the U.S. and in a specific region or state. Source use differs from site usage when comparing a building s energy consumption with the national average. Site energy use is the energy consumed by the building at the building site only. Source energy use includes the site energy use as well as all of the losses to create and distribute the energy to the building. Source energy represents the total amount of raw fuel that is required to operate the building. It incorporates all transmission, delivery, and production losses, which allows for a complete assessment of energy efficiency in a building. The type of utility purchased has a substantial impact on the source energy use of a building. The EPA has determined that source energy is the most comparable unit for evaluation purposes and overall global impact. Both the site and source EUI ratings for the building are provided to understand and compare the differences in energy use. The site and source EUIs for this building are calculated as follows. (See Table 3.4 for details): Building Site EUI = (Electric Usage in kbtu + Gas Usage in kbtu + similar for other fuels) Building Square Footage Building Source EUI = (Electric Usage in kbtu X SS Ratio + Gas Usage in kbtu X SS Ratio + similar for other fuels) Building Square Footage where SS Ratio is the Source Energy to Site Energy ratio for the particular fuel.

17 3.3 AkWarm Building Simulation An accurate model of the building performance can be created by simulating the thermal performance of the walls, roof, windows and floors of the building. The HVAC system and central plant are modeled as well, accounting for the outside air ventilation required by the building and the heat recovery equipment in place. The model uses local weather data and is trued up to historical energy use to ensure its accuracy. The model can be used now and in the future to measure the utility bill impact of all types of energy projects, including improving building insulation, modifying glazing, changing air handler schedules, increasing heat recovery, installing high efficiency boilers, using variable air volume air handlers, adjusting outside air ventilation and adding cogeneration systems. For the purposes of this study, the Public Safety Building was modeled using AkWarm energy use software to establish a baseline space heating and cooling energy usage. Climate data from Kenai was used for analysis. From this, the model was be calibrated to predict the impact of theoretical energy savings measures. Once annual energy savings from a particular measure were predicted and the initial capital cost was estimated, payback scenarios were approximated. Equipment cost estimate calculations are provided in Appendix C. Limitations of AkWarm Models The model is based on typical mean year weather data for Kenai. This data represents the average ambient weather profile as observed over approximately 30 years. As such, the gas and electric profiles generated will not likely compare perfectly with actual energy billing information from any single year. This is especially true for years with extreme warm or cold periods, or even years with unexpectedly moderate weather. AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 17 of 33

This simplified approach loses accuracy for buildings that have large variations in cooling/heating loads across different parts of the building. The model does not model HVAC systems that simultaneously provide both heating and cooling to the same building space (typically done as a means of providing temperature control in the space). The energy balances shown in Section 3.1 were derived from the output generated by the AkWarm simulations. AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 18 of 33

20 4.2 Interactive Effects of Projects The savings for a particular measure are calculated assuming all recommended EEMs coming before that measure in the list are implemented. If some EEMs are not implemented, savings for the remaining EEMs will be affected. For example, if ceiling insulation is not added, then savings from a project to replace the heating system will be increased, because the heating system for the building supplies a larger load. In general, all projects are evaluated sequentially so energy savings associated with one EEM would not also be attributed to another EEM. By modeling the recommended project sequentially, the analysis accounts for interactive affects among the EEMs and does not double count savings. Interior lighting, plug loads, facility equipment, and occupants generate heat within the building. When the building is in cooling mode, these items contribute to the overall cooling demands of the building; therefore, lighting efficiency improvements will reduce cooling requirements in air conditioned buildings. Conversely, lighting efficiency improvements are anticipated to slightly increase heating requirements. Heating penalties and cooling benefits were included in the lighting project analysis.

23 4.5 Electrical & Appliance Measures Lighting Measures The goal of this section is to present any lighting energy conservation measures that may also be cost beneficial. It should be noted that replacing current bulbs with more energy efficient equivalents will have a small effect on the building heating and cooling loads. The building cooling load will see a small decrease from an upgrade to more efficient bulbs and the heating load will see a small increase, as the more energy efficient bulbs give off less heat a Lighting Measures Replace Existing Fixtures/Bulbs Rank Location Existing Condition Recommendation 9 Police Station 0 FLUOR (3) T8 4' F32T8 30W Energy Saver Instant StdElectronic with Manual Switching Replace with 0 FLUOR (3) T8 4' F32T8 25W Energy Saver Instant StdElectronic Installation Cost $17,794 Estimated Life of Measure (yrs) 7 Energy Savings (/yr) $637 Breakeven Cost $4,051 Savings to Investment Ratio 0.2 Simple Payback yrs 28 Auditors Notes: Rank Location Existing Condition Recommendation 8 Exterior 5 MH 0 Watt StdElectronic with Manual Switching Replace with 5 LED 25W Module StdElectronic Installation Cost $1,525 Estimated Life of Measure (yrs) 7 Energy Savings (/yr) $60 Breakeven Cost $380 Savings to Investment Ratio 0.2 Simple Payback yrs 25 Auditors Notes: Rank Location Existing Condition Recommendation 7 Police Station 5 FLUOR (4) T8 4' F32T8 30W Energy Saver Instant StdElectronic with Manual Switching Replace with 5 FLUOR (4) T8 4' F32T8 25W Energy Saver Instant StdElectronic Installation Cost $18,683 Estimated Life of Measure (yrs) 7 Energy Savings (/yr) $895 Breakeven Cost $5,691 Savings to Investment Ratio 0.3 Simple Payback yrs 21 Auditors Notes: AkWarm ID No. CIRI ENA CAEC 05 Page 23 of 33
