4 UCI s Strategic Energy Plan (SEP) Identify and implement projects using the energy savings to pay back the cost of the project. Maximize Federal, State, and Local incentives to reduce the project cost. Combine base projects with low return on investment with next steps to create acceptable returns with large energy savings.

22 Centralized Demand Controlled Ventilation Monitors the indoor air quality of multiple zones through a network of structured cables and air data routers Analyzes the sampled air with a series of sensors Provides the lab air control system with an input for increased ventilation when necessary. The system is only an input to your lab air control system, no different than a thermostat, or sash position sensor. Target is 4 air changes per hour in occupied labs and 2 air changes per hour in unoccupied labs. Page 22

37 Zone-Level Resolution Can Lead to Peak Demand Savings Autoclave In Gross Hall 60 kw peak Page 37 HDP1 is a distribution board on the 1st floor. It is responsible for feeding several equipment loads, autoclave units EQ2, EQ3, and EQ4. HDP1 is fed directly from the main switchboard at 480/277 volts. The board maximum current rating is 225 amps. The largest load on HDP1 is the medium autoclave EQ2, which is rated at 75kVA.

38 Zone-Level Resolution Can Lead to Peak Demand Savings Autoclave EQ2 Did running the autoclave on peak just cost you $600 in demand charges? Gross Hall average site demand ranges from a baseline of 148kW to an average peak of 205 kw Page 38

46 Lab Air Flow vs. Time The HVAC savings of 1 CFM/ft2 at $4-5 per CFM can reduce operational significantly.

47 Benchmarking It is easy to see how campus labs compare to each other but what about across the country? Page 47

48 Adding Hewitt and Gross Halls Hewitt is right at the average Gross Hall beats the most efficient lab benchmarked by 18% Page 48

49 Continuous Commissioning -- Meaningful analysis and reports -- Actionable information -- Verification of actions taken: physical and behavioral CDCV Find failed lab air control valves Review of fume hood sash management Ensure safe lab air quality Find excessive air flows due to point sources of heat Submetering Monitoring of fans, pumps, and lighting control systems Verification of energy retrofits Reduce demand charges by modifying operations BMS Locate simultaneous heating and cooling Reset of static pressure to minimum required Control run times of office areas Page 49

50 Troubleshooting a CO 2 leak With the CDCV System Researcher connects 4 tanks of CO 2 to the lab distribution system and within 8 hours they are empty. To find the leak the research staff could have spent hours soaping lines and connections and wasting additional gas listening for the leak. Page 50

51 Researcher first plotted all rooms for CO 2 Suspected location of CO 2 leak Page 51

52 Researcher Then Plotted the Room with the Suspected CO 2 Leak The leak was quickly located and repaired! Page 52

57 Final Thoughts Monitoring or constant commissioning is a must. UC Irvine has deployed the CDCV system to 13 buildings covering zones. UC Irvine has awarded a contract to sub meter the almost all campus buildings. Monitoring each building and load centers within each building. Maintaining the savings invested in is the key reason for choosing to deploy the technologies. Page 57
