Custom Rebates Performance-based rebates (one-time) at: $0.06/annual kWh Up to 50% of project cost or $500,000 Savings measured and verified Projects must pass cost effectiveness test (TRC) Pre-approval required
Standard Lighting Controls !
Lighting — Efficient Equipment New construction and retrofit Interior and exterior Fluorescents and LEDs Controls (standard) Occupancy sensors Daylighting Personal tuning (dimming, dual switching) Advantages Energy savings Low maintenance Clarity Control strategies
Lighting — Beyond the Bulb Advanced Lighting Controls Lighting Standard Lighting Controls !
Advanced Lighting Controls Networked control of lighting systems provides multiple levels of control at fixture or zone of fixtures Layered savings produces up to 85% savings Qualified projects paid at 6 cents per kWh
Advanced Lighting Controls — Beyond the Bulb Case Study, 3-shift manufacturing Changed from 944 High Bay fluorescents to 468 LED with Advanced Lighting Controls Energy savings Lighting redesign 1,141,359 kWh Controls 195,818 kWh Intelligent tuning/control 341,327 kWh Total Savings 1,678,504 kWh PPL Custom Rebate $100,710 Standard Lighting 1-to-1 retrofit would have saved 945,541 kWh ($47,277 PPL rebate)
! New construction Advanced Lighting Controls Lighting Standard Lighting Controls !
New Construction — Efficient Equipment Rebates for efficient equipment – lighting and non-lighting Beyond-code (IECC 2009) construction Lighting and controls HVAC VFDs (non-code required)
New Construction — Beyond the Bulb Whole-building rebates Requires hourly energy simulation model such as required by LEED Model calibrated with performance data _________________________________________ Project Example: New 77,000 SF surgery center LED lighting and high efficiency mechanical systems 228,000 kWh/yr. verified savings Rebate: $13,680 Incremental costs: 10% Mechanical/Electrical Costs
! HVAC/Chillers New Construction Advanced Lighting Controls Lighting Standard Lighting Controls ! HVAC/Chillers
HVAC and Chillers — Efficient Equipment New construction and retrofit HVAC equipment above IECC 2009 code minimum - chillers, PTACs, RTUs, VRF, heat pumps Heat pump water heater VFDs for air handler units, chilled and hot water pumping, and cooling tower fans Process cooling is always custom
HVAC and Chillers — Beyond the Bulb Advanced controls Chiller optimization Retro-commissioning Energy recovery Process cooling, etc.… Project Energy Savings kWh/yr. Project Cost $ Savings/yr. (@ $0.08) Rebate Simple Payback New chillers with optimization at hospital 1,197,000 $565,545 $95,760 $71,820 5.15 yr.

Think Outside the Bulb Thank you Joe. To sum up, there are many opportunities that a food manufacturing facility can look to for energy savings. After previewing just a few examples today, we hope to have shown that the opportunities expand to more than just lighting. We call this “thinking outside the bulb” - while lighting may be the top of mind energy saving item, it is not the only measure to consider. Think about the things you do every day in your process and production. Consider what changes would make your business more efficient, faster, more productive or less costly. These changes could save you energy. Get us involved in the discussion and planning of these types of projects to help you identify the potential. Again, If a project can demonstrate kWh savings, then there is a good chance it can be qualified for a rebate from PPL. >>And Lisa will now wrap it up >>
