DOING MORE WITH SAME

Channel partner focus

• New vertical partners (Behind-the Meter & speciality projects)

• Service standing offer (replace SOE Audit program)

• Channel partner certification

• Pay for performance?

DOING MORE WITH SAME (CONT'D)

Technology focus

• Low hanging fruit almost harvested

• T12 incentive? Incandescent bulbs disappearing

• Digging deeper into incentives pocket (U of O example)

• BAS, free cooling, data centre optimization

• Behind-the-Meter generation (CHP & Renewables)

University of Ottawa Success

Introduction

Daniel Gosselin, P. Eng, PMP

Senior Project Manager

Certified Energy Manager (CEM)

Presentation Summary

1. What is a Deep Energy Retrofit?

2. Economic Evaluation

3. Project Examples

4. Secrets to Success

What is a Deep Energy Retrofit?

1. Older Buildings (10 Years or older)

1. Re-Engineering of entire Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning

(HVAC) System

2. Newer Buildings (Fewer than 10 years)

1. Re-engineering of HVAC elements

2. Updated sequence of operations

3. Re-commissioning of HVAC systems

Economic Evaluation

Set Simple Expectations:

• Five Year Simple Payback

• Return-on-Investment (ROI)

• Net Present Value (NPV)

Project Examples

Desmarais Building:

• New Build 2007

• Retrofit:

• Condensing boilers reconfigured

• Addition of heat recovery chiller

• Static pressure reset

• Reduced pressure losses in ductwork

• Elimination of return fans

Project Examples

Desmarais Building:

• Capital Cost: $400,000

• Hydro Incentive: 118,840

• Energy Savings:

• $ 95,000 (22% reduction)

• Simple Payback: 2.84 years

Project Examples

SITE Building

• + 15 year old facility

• Retrofit

• Energy recovery chiller

• Reduction of pressure losses in duct system

• Revisions to building air circulation

• Elimination of return fans

• Significant update to sequence of operations

Project Examples

SITE Building

• Economics

• Capital Cost: $670,000

• Capital: $5,000,000 (includes new chiller)

• Savings: Approx. $800,000 / per year

Central Plant

• Capital: $3,300,000 (Includes new Deaerator)

• Savings: Approx. $750,000 / year

Secrets to Success

Strong Leadership

• Owner as Champion

• Owner as Energy Manager

• Project Management

Secrets to Success

Procurement of Engineering Services

• Consider a design competition

• Focus on life cycle project costs – not engineering fees!

• Invest in engineering and reward performance

Secrets to Success

Detailed Feasibility Study

• Engage operators in the process

• Understand the energy conservation measures and the impact on

operations

• Accurate baseline measurements are essential at this stage

Secrets to Success

Design Process

• Give the engineers time to develop the design

• Have frequent design review sessions with operators

• Go to tender only when 100% satisfied!

Secrets to Success

Contractor Procurement

• Establish a pre-qualified list of sheet-metal, plumbing, electrical

and controls contractors.

• Sheet-metal or plumbing contractor acts as General Contractor.

• Ability of contractor to plan work in an operating building is key to

success

Secrets to Success

• Operators must be involved with the commissioning to ensure

continuity of system operations

Secrets to Success

Measurement and Verification

• Calibration of equipment is essential

• Daily, weekly and monthly monitoring

• On-going commissioning

• Dedicated energy management improves results

Conclusion

1. Owner must lead the way

2. Compensate engineers for results

3. Engage building operators

4. Invest in project management
