An On-line course, presented in 2-hour segments: BENEFITS OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT / GETTING STARTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT FLOW CHART ENERGY MANAGER JOB DESCRIPTION OVERCOMING BARRIERS ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS UNDERSTANDING AND ORGANIZING UTILITY BILLS DEVELOPING AND ANALYZING PROFILES BENCHMARKING AND SETTING TARGETS PURCHASING ENERGY OFF-PEAK OPTIONS ENERGY AUDITS IMPLEMENTING ECM’S CONTINUOUS MONITORING – REPORT SUCCESS Energy Management 5
6
Today’s Agenda Impact of Energy Management What is Energy Management? Simple Resources for Getting Started Resources at work Examples of success 6
7
Hydroelectric Solar Etc. Energy SourcesEnergy Consumption 7
8
Energy Management Buildings consume 38.5% of US energy A 33% reduction will save 13% of US energy 4 times the environmental impact of renewable energy! 8
9
Energy Management Systematic approach to energy conservation Assess needs Prioritize resources Take action Potential Cost Effective Savings: 10% - 30% A MANAGEMENT PROCESS!! 9

Establish a Utility Database 15
16
A Useful Utility Database Facility name, address Climate Zone Function(s) Gross area Metered use by specific dates Energy Cost Calculate Indices ECI EUI 16
17
Indices ECI: Energy Cost Index = $/SF/yr EUI: Energy Utilization Index = kBTU/SF/yr (Annual kWH X 3.413) =_____kBTU + (Annual Therms X 100) =_____kBTU Total Annual Energy =_____kBTU EUI = Total Annual Energy ÷ SF = kBTU/SF/yr Example: Lowell Hall @ UW, 1996 (1,209,319 kWH X 3.413) = 4,127,000 kBTU + (83,642 Therms X 100) = 8,364,200 kBTU Total Annual Energy = 12,491,200 kBTU EUI = 12,491,200 kBTU ÷ 117,600 S.F. = 106.2 kBTU/SF/yr 17

Discretionary Facility Operation 20 Story Office Building 200,000 S.F. 5 years old, no energy conservation Complex, energy intensive HVAC systems No building automation system Actions by Facility Manager Read meters daily Obtain previous day’s weather data Harass/Compliment Building Engineer daily Result after 1 year: Energy Use Reduced One-Third! 40
41
Discretionary Opportunities Match running time to activities Lower hot water and hot air temperatures Raise chilled water and cold air temperatures Lower fan pressure in ducts Lower pump pressure in piping Experiment with all setpoints 41
42
Disincentives for the building engineer Risk of occupant discomfort Risk of equipment failure Experimentation can be terrifying 42
43
Incentives for the building engineer Regular monitoring by the manager Managerial encouragement to experiment Occasional, brief discomfort is OK Teamwork 43

Mercury Marine Energizes for Payback Jerry Eaton, Energy Manager Accountability (begins at home) FDL Campus (8 plants) Energy Council Individual Plant Energy Wardens Cost Effective Projects Corporate Wide Standard Lighting Reduce Energy Improve Visual Acuity Reduce Maintenance Reduce Overall Inventory Corporate Wide Compressed Air $1.8 Million Investment $875,000 Annual Savings 58
59
Mercury Marine cont… Reinvest savings in additional projects Daily monitoring of facilities and equipment Developed Custom Monitoring Protocol Continues To Adjust Compressed Air by looking for ways to reduce air usage –improved nozzles –air blowers vs. compressed air – actively pursue and fix leaks – Reduced 2 PSI last week in three plants 59
60
Mercury Marine cont… Results 5 years: 22 MW reduced to 19.8 MW Even though Mercury continues to increase market share they’re still able to reduce energy costs 3% each year Energy Management Improves Corporate Bottom Line! 60
