Energy Efficiency Energy Management Control Systems Energy Star Equipment Energy Star Lighting Energy Code Compliance Energy Audits HVAC Right-Sizing

Energy Efficiency Example Government Center Project: 1.Installed Constant volume air handling units with variable frequency drives and energy efficient motors 2.Replaced all existing lighting fixtures (T8 32W lamps) with T8 28W lamps 3.Upgraded lighting control software Cost: $510,000 (one-time, nonrecurring cost) Benefit: $83,000/year lower electricity costs million pounds of CO 2 reduced. Payback: 6.1 years

Renewable Energy Wind Energy Landfill Gas Recovery & Utilization Waste to Energy

Renewable Energy Example I-66 Landfill Gas To Energy Project: 1.Installed 2,500 feet of four inch HDPE pipe from a flare station at the closed I-66 Landfill to the Department of Vehicle Services Garage at the West Ox Facility 2.Installed radiant heaters designed to use landfill gas (50% methane content) Cost: $300,000 (one-time, nonrecurring cost – design/build) Benefit: $70,000/year lower natural gas costs + methane gas usage Payback: 4.3 years
