4 This project was completed under NYSERDA's MPP program which required a comprehensive scope of work. Over the entire 8 property project, 67 ECMs were recommended. The project scope was configured so the PHA had a positive cash flow from savings. Private bonds were floated for the entire construction cost, supported by incentives from NYSERDA and work supplied by WAP. This was a not-to-exceed contract. The original schedule was extended to match the expanded scope of the project from $3 million to $8 million, and the expanded project was completed on time.

Through this process multiple issues were identified and corrected, low cost / no cost and capital improvements were identified with costs and saving estimated, and sequences of operation evaluated. Multiple measures were identified though Functional Performance Testing, BAS review, and equipment / system operation with the potential to reduce energy use and improve system operation. Measures where savings could be reasonably calculated are listed below: ECM-1: Temporarily Disable Malfunctioning AH-19 Upper Preheat Coil Until Repaired ECM-2: Correct AH-19 Return Fan Tracking Algorithm ECM-3: Replace AH-19 Supply Air Static Pressure Transducer ECM-4: Convert Constant Volume Condenser Water and Chilled Water Pumping to Variable Volume Pumping ECM-5: Disable Chiller Cycling During Periods of Low Ambient Outside Air Temperature ECM-6: Revise AH-20 Static Pressure Reset ECM-7: Reduce AH-19 & AH-20 Preheat Coil Discharge Temperature Setpoint ECM-8: Properly Sequence Chilled Water Cooling Coil Control Valves with Airside Economizers to Reduce Mechanical Cooling HDC NYCEEC Energy Retrofit Loan Program 5
