3 ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN - HEADQUARTERS ABC Winery Executive Summary ABC Winery is a farming operation that grows grapes and produces wine. The wine production process uses a significant amount of energy, mainly electricity for cooling. Energy is also used for heating and cooling to maintain appropriate temperatures for wine production and in the office and other spaces. The farm grows grapes on approximately 40 acres, and produces 28 different wines with a total production of about 20,000 gallons. Background and Site Information The headquarters operations at ABC Winery are housed in a single building of approximately 4,800 square feet. The building includes a winery which houses processing and storage equipment, an office, a laboratory space and an area for sales which includes rest rooms, storage and additional office space. ABC Winery has been incorporating energy savings in their operations over the last few years, in particular installing more efficient lighting and motors. The producer hopes to reduce energy consumption even further by adding insulation and improving the performance of cooling equipment. By implementing these measures the winery hopes to achieve significant energy savings and improve the wine making process. Summary Energy costs for ABC Winery are more or less evenly divided between propane and electricity. Propane is used primarily for heating; hot water heating is a secondary, much smaller use. The main use of electricity is for cooling. In addition to space cooling for the office, laboratory and tasting areas, a chiller is used to maintain temperatures in the wine vats and the winery. Other electrical uses include mechanical equipment (pumps, motors and processing equipment), lighting, refrigeration and office equipment. The building has uninsulated concrete block walls and wooden roof trusses. In the mezzanine the walls have a framed inner wall with 3-1/2 inch insulation covered with gypsum wallboard. The ceiling has R-19 insulation between the joists. The bar and office have an insulated inner wall of similar construction, and have R-30 insulation between the ceiling joists. The lab and winery have no additional wall insulation and have R-30 insulation in the ceiling. The winery operates year round. Most of the spaces are occupied 7 days a week, at least 8 hours a day. Grapes are harvested in late summer and fall, when they are crushed and pressed. The winery is kept cool during the summer months, and the wine vats are chilled at various times to control the fermentation process Summary Page - 3 -

5 Detailed Analysis Table 1 shows an annual summary of electrical data for ABC Winery. Table 2 is a two-year summary of propane use. Figure 1 shows the annual distribution of electrical use for two years. Figure 2 displays the estimated breakdown of electrical use by application. Electrical use varies during the year, depending to some extent on the weather and also on the various energy needs for processing the grapes and maintaining appropriate conditions in the wine vats. The facility operates year round, seven days a week. Part of the electrical use is attributable to lighting, refrigeration and office equipment, which remains relatively constant from day to day. Propane use varies mostly according to the amount of energy needed for space heating. Hot water, the other use for propane, is a very small portion of the total gas consumed. The most promising energy conservation opportunity is in insulating the exterior walls in the winery. These currently consist of uninsulated concrete blocks. Adding 4 inch thick expanded polystyrene foam panels will increase the R-Value from around 3 to more than 20. There are several opportunities for energy saving in lighting. Because the facility operates 7 days a week, lights are on for many hours a year. Taken together with an electric rate that often exceeds 25 cents a kilowatt hour, payback periods for replacing less efficient lighting are quite short. It is costeffective to replacing incandescent bulbs and T-12 fluorescent fixtures in those areas where they are usually turned on. Illuminated exit signs are on all the time. Replacing signs with incandescent bulbs with new signs with LED lights will typically have less than a 5 year payback period. Conclusions Recommendations for future improvements Install 4 inch thick expanded polystyrene panels inside the wall in the winery. Insulate chilled water piping. Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. Replace existing T-12 fluorescent pendant fixtures with T-8 fixtures. Replace aging refrigerators with Energy Star appliances. Other measures evaluated and recommended Measure Electric Savings (kwh) Propane Savings (Gal) Energy Savings (mbtu) Installed Cost Energy Cost Savings Payback (years) CO 2 N 2O Estimated CH 4 SO 2 NO x $2500 $ , $20,000 $1, Table 3: Measures with Payback Longer than Ten Years 7. Replace the hot water heater with a 90% efficient unit. 8. Upgrade the existing chiller system to include a new chiller, new pumps and better controls. Replacing refrigerators and the hot water heater has a relatively long payback period. Consider new energy efficient units when this equipment requires major maintenance or no longer functions properly

6 Insulating the winery will reduce energy needs for both heating and cooling and will also improve the climate control in the facility. More efficient lighting will reduce the amount of electricity needed for the lights and will also lower the air conditioning needs in the warm months. Despite the relatively long payback period, there are compelling reasons to replace the existing chiller and associated equipment. The existing glycol pump currently runs continuously, independent of the need to provide cooling to specific spaces or equipment. The existing chiller is an older, inefficient unit. A new chiller system can provide the following benefits: Multiple stages to better match loads and provide redundancy and Energy savings through improved glycol pump control Higher operating efficiency Controls to prevent short-cycling In addition to saving energy, a more efficient chiller with more precise control will give ABC Winery better conditions for their fermentation processes and allow them to improve their products
