2 Renewable and Conservation Projects Examples of how they can also be Capital Renewal Projects AND reduce your operating budget

3 Some History of Our Project Successes

4 Our Energy projects have saved or hedged over $274,000 from the annual operating budget in utility dollars alone over the past ten years.

5 Renewing Aging Infrastructure in Tight Budget Climates Funds are diverted to new projects. Tie renewable proposals in to new projects. No one really gets upset until something stops working. Use the data from your work order system to demonstrate how much time and money is being spent on old, outdated equipment. Priorities don t always include facilities. Deferred projects that lack curb appeal are just not attractive. Renewables are very attractive right now. Conservation projects that save utility dollars provide funding for other projects. Be creative and convert everything to dollars and the budget before pitching your project.

6 2013 West Campus Project Replaced 21 aging RTU using R-22 refrigerant. Abandoned leaking direct bury heating piping between six buildings and one boiler plant. Rezone the classroom buildings. Perform work during the academic year.

7 ADVANTAGES OF THE VRF SYSTEM Ultra efficient design to ensure total comfort in any commercial space Advanced INVERTER technology varies the speed of the compressor for more efficient cooling and heating Complete zoning control so you heat and cool the areas that need it without paying for the ones that don t Design flexibility for any application, from modern designs to historic renovations Complete product family to handle every job from the smallest spaces to the largest buildings and campuses Green technology that contributes to LEED credits and saves energy Quiet operation that's even softer than a human whisper Simultaneous operation to cool and heat with just two pipes

11 Rooftop Installations Mitsubishi Citi -Multi Energy Recovery Ventilators

12 LED Retrofits 681 Fixtures retrofitted

13 Retro-Fit Kits with Plate Applications While all of our products provide an excellent alternative to the conventional high wattage bulbs found in commercial and industrial lighting, these Revolutionary GTL modules all come with different features and are suited to particular applications/fixtures. The benefit to plate mounted units is that in every way they are exactly the same and a stabled install. If a specific articulation is needed, every fixture on the plate will be perfectly angled.

17 End Results VRF Project Faculty and Students more comfortable. Air quality is much better. Eliminated gas fired plants. Reduced on peak electric use. Allowed our solar system to handle more of the demand. Project was completed on time and on budget. Introduced new technologies to my staff. LED Project Reduced employee labor hours by an estimated 150 hours per year. Reduced contracted electrician and exterior rental lift costs. Provides a safer campus environment. Return on Investments of less than two years on average.

18 All about the Array Capacity: One megawatt comprising 5096 panels. Footprint: Approximately 5 acres Annual Output: Approximately 2,181,000 KWH / year Grid Power Replacement: Approximately 25% in Up to 41% in Electricity Cost: Contractually certain for 20 years Local Companies Involved: 6 Launch Date: January 1, 2011 Does the array provide electricity for other locations? No, Albuquerque Academy consumes all the power. Cost and who is paying for it: The array was a 5 million dollar project, financed and constructed by third parties able to capture the tax incentives available only to for-profit companies. The Academy serves as solar host for the array.
