2 Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Pine Bluff Arsenal, AK Decentralized existing central steam systems. Steam used for: Space heating Dehumidification Process Deteriorating underground distribution system. Compromised or missing pipe insulation Insufficient cathodic protection 2

3 Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Pine Bluff Arsenal, AK Decision Factors High cost of replacing underground steam piping Infrequent, intermittent conditioning/process requirements 3

4 Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Existing chillers had received end of useful lives 4 Bardolph Building Chiller Plant Replacement, Greensboro, NC

5 Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Decision Factors Adjacent CNW Plant had: Excess capacity Many years of remaining life Ice storage capability Reduced maintenance costs Reduced capital costs 5 Bardolph Building Chiller Plant Replacement, Greensboro, NC
