1. National Grid Your Partner in Energy Solutions
Internal National Grid Labs Webinar
March 15, 2016
Presented by: Tom Coughlin | National Grid

2. Where do you start? Assistance with new construction and retrofit
Utilities can take the lead in helping develop a plan
Work with our experts or yours
Assistance with the cost of identifying your opportunities
outside of energy savings
Health and Safety
Safety study
Often involves High performance hood conversions
Better capture of contaminants
Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance
Corrects issues with room pressurization
Often knock off deferred maintenance issues
So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

7. How much do you get?
Retrofit incentives as high as $750,000 from NGRID
Incentives from Gas and electric utilities in MA and RI

8. 45% of the building used for lab activities 39,000 SF Potential
Latest Project
Built in 2005
45% of the building used for lab activities
39,000 SF
Potential
Reduce ventilation by 46%
Reduce electric use by 35%
Reduce gas use by 50%
Savings potential over $100,000 / year

9. High Performance Hoods
Available as retrofit kits
Proven safer “capture” of contaminants
Payback in 4 to 5 years ( approx $6,000 / hood) (without incentives)

10. Where do savings come from?
Ventilation Energy Use is #1
100% Outside air 8760 hours a year
One typical 6’ wide fume hood can cost $4 to $5,000/ year to ventilate!
