COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENERGY AUDITS PRESENTATION for NEW MEXICO ASSOCIATION OF ENERGY ENGINEERS Albuquerque, New Mexico February 22, 2011 by Donald E. Swick, PE

COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENERGY AUDITS PRESENTATION Following ASHRAE Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits Published by ASHRAE in 2004 Research Project 669 developed standard format for reporting results of analysis. Special Project 56 developed scope of work for various levels of analysis.

GOALS OF TRAINING SESSION Understand current demand for Energy Audits Define four levels of energy audits and application Know level of effort expected for each type of audit Understand Energy Star Target Finder benchmarking Know limitations of simple payback energy analysis Exposure to various energy analysis software tools Awareness of requirements for life cycle cost analysis Identify final Report presentation requirements

ENERGY AUDIT OBJECTIVES The objectives of an energy analysis or audit are to identify and develop modifications that will reduce the energy use and/or cost of operating a building. The results should be presented in a format that will provide the information needed by an owner/operator to decide if any or all of the recommended modifications should be implemented.

CURRENT DRIVERS FOR ENERGY AUDIT SERVICES Demand for energy audit services can be attributed to one or more of the following items: Increasing impact of utility costs on overall operation cost of buildings Competitive real estate market now including energy ranking as a factor in purchasing a building. State and local energy conservation codes requiring higher efficiency for new construction, and building additions or retrofit projects Federal, state and local governments and corporate policies demands construction and occupancy in “LEED Certified or Green Buildings”

BUILDING ENERGY CODES AND STANDARDS

10 COMMON PROBLEMS IN ENERGY AUDITS Reference ASHRAE Journal February 2011 10. Inadequate review (30% of Audits) Overestimated savings (53% of Audits) In adequate billing analysis (57% of Audits) Poor Building description (60% of Audits) Low (or missing) installed costs (60% of Audits)

10 COMMON PROBLEMS IN ENERGY AUDITS Reference ASHRAE Journal February 2011 5. Poor improvement selection (63% of Audits) 4. No Life-cycle costing (73% of Audits) 3. Improvement life too long or not provided (73% of Audits) 2. Weak improvement scope (77% of Audits) 1. Missed improvements (80% of Audits)

10 COMMON PROBLEMS IN ENERGY AUDITS Neglected at least three improvement High efficiency HVAC High efficiency Domestic Hot Water High efficiency Lighting Lighting Power Density Lighting Control Wall or Roof Insulation Motor Drives HVAC Controls Fenestration Treatment

KEY ELEMENTS OF AUDIT Analysis of current energy consumption. Description and analysis of existing energy using systems. Presentation of engineering and economic analysis.

ANALYSIS OF CURRENT ENERGY CONSUMPTION Obtain two or more years of utility data, review building plans and conduct site walk-through to establish: Type building, principal use, and floor area, ft2 Annual Energy Utilization Index, kBtu / ft2 Annual Energy Cost Index, $ / ft2 Breakdown spaces by function, use and area. Determine maintenance problems or practices affecting energy efficiency Conduct Benchmarking to compare energy and cost indices with similar facilities

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF EXISTING ENERGY SYSTEMS Description and analysis of the energy-using systems of this building, resulting from on-site observations, measurement, and engineering calculation, including: Envelope (wall, roof, floor, slab, windows, doors skylights) Lighting (interior and exterior) HVAC Domestic hot water Equipment Food preparation Conveying systems Other systems

PRESENTATION OF ENERGY AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS As result of engineering analysis and economic calculations, develop: Breakdown of the components of annual energy use and cost Recommended energy conservation measures including predicted savings and cost to implement Description and cost estimate of necessary repairs in order for energy conservation measures to be effective A description and cost estimated of measurement and verification methods needed to determine project effectiveness Energy analysis summary Present and target energy use and cost Savings from recommended measures and comparison to ultimate target
