Agenda Air Conditioning Energy Efficient Lighting Building Envelope Analysis Heat Recovery Systems Effective Maintenance 2
Air Conditioning Systems System type Energy (kw/ton) Mini Splits 1.15 1.25 High Efficient Splits 1.05 1.15 CHW air cooled Scroll/Screw 1.10 1.25 CHW air cooled Screw with VFD 1.0 1.15 CHW water cooled - Screw 0.95 CHW water cooled - Centrifugal 0.85 CHW water cooled - absorption Gas /waste heat/diesel Daikin VRV Systems 0.80 to 1.10 3
System Selection Criteria Initial cost Operating cost (maintenance, water, energy) System life Environment (CFC, noise) Use of facility Support services Government regulations 4
Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) 20% to 25% energy savings over minisplits Digital Variable Scroll compressor or VFD Compressor New technology Ideal for small to medium sized Caribbean Hotels 5
DX System Analysis Typical Hotel room A/C size 1 ton (1.15kW) Cost of 1 ton system US$ 600. Operating hours/yr 4,320 (8640/2) Energy cost US$/kWh $0.25 Ann. energy cost $1,242.00 6
VRV Replacement vs. Mini Splits VRV System 0.90 kw/ton Hours per year 4,320 Ann. Energy Cost =.9 * 4320*.25 = $972 Ann. Savings - $1,272 - $972 = $ 270. Cost of 1 ton VRV = $ 1,200 Additional Cost = $1,200 - $ 600 = $ 600 VRV Payback - $ 600 / 270 = 2.22 years. 7
Natural Gas/Diesel Absorption Systems Energy savings 45% over air cooled DX Lower maintenance costs Operates on natural gas, diesel, hot water, steam or waste oil. Payback under 2.0 years 8
CCHP Total Efficiency 80.1 % natural gas 16,600 kw Gas Turbine exhaust 11,500 kw Heat Recovery Chiller/Heater exhaust loss 3,300 kw 11,000 kw cooling 5,100 kw power 9

Chilled Beams 11
New Energy Efficient & Environmentally Friendly Fan Coil Units 12
Heat Recovery Systems Refrigeration to water A/C compressor emits hot air Waste heat is trapped and is used to produce hot water Air to Air Cool exhaust air used to pre-cool fresh air 13
14 SEMCO Energy Recovery Systems
How It Works: (Cooling Season) 2-3. Outdoor Air is Cooled, Dehumidified then Supplied to HVAC System 1. Fresh Outdoor Air (Hot and Humid) is Passed Through the Wheel 5-6. Exhaust Air is Heated and Humidified then Sent Outdoors 4. Exhaust Air is Pulled from the Space (Cool and Dry) 15

Building Envelope Analysis Windows Roofs Exterior doors Ceilings Exterior walls 21
Windows Solar film Tight seals, weather strips Double pane glass (low SC, U value) Reduce quantity on exposed elevations Ensure building pressure is slightly positive Window shading - trees, awnings, reveals, blinds, curtains. 22
Low Pressure Vacuum Tube Solar Hot Water System Renewable energy source Free hot water production Tanks must be appropriately sized Long life - 15 to 20 years Low maintenance cost Can use electrical backup if necessary 23
