Master Energy Program ENERGY CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING PROGRAM & WORKSHOP RIEDC Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation Building the 21st Century Innovation Economy
Master Energy Program Educational Training Seminar This training document has been developed under the support and guidance of The University of Rhode Island URI Energy Center, Energy Outreach Programs Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources Ocean State Clean Cities Coalition
Program Logistics • Session I – Energy 101 Energy Basics • Session II – Around the Home I Small Investment Big Savings • Session III – Around the Home II Big Investment Big Savings • Session IV - Legislature & Policy Standards, Codes, Finance & Taxes
Session IEnergy 101 • History of energy in the US • Where our energy comes from & how we use it • What is your energy consumption • How to read and understand your utility bill • Energy accounting, tracking & bench marking
The History of Energy in the US The past 100 years • Muscle • Wood • Whale Oil • Coal • Petroleum • Natural Gas • Renewable energy
US Consumption by Source US energy consumption, by source, 1850-2000. Vertical axis is in quadrillion BTU
The Forms of Energy We UseUs Energy Consumption by Resource Source: Annual Energy Outlook 2006, Energy Information Administration.
Although we are the third largest crude oil producer, most of the petroleum we use is imported. US Petroleum Supply Although we are the third largest crude oil producer, most of the petroleum we use is imported.
Where Petroleum in the US Comes From Western Hemisphere nations provide about half of our imported petroleum. Western Hemisphere nations provide about half of our imported petroleum.
World Energy Use by Fuel Type 33% History Projections 29% 37% Liquids 24% Coal Natural Gas 27% Share of World Total 23% 8% 8% 6% Nuclear 6% Renewable Source: EIA, IEO2008
World Energy Demand • United States • Europe and Asia – OECD • China and India - Non-OECD • Europe & Eurasia – Non-OECD
Effects on Global Warming 18 Sustainability With Significant Environmental Consequence
The Effects of CO2 over 400 thousand years and its effect on Global Temperature 19
CO2 Concentration over the last 130 yearsand its Effect on Global Temperature 20
Electrical Distribution New England relies on over 350 Electric Energy Generators
RI Electric Power Sources Imported Power 12.4 % Oil 3.8 % These six Energy Forms = 91.5 %

What is Your Consumption Home – Natural Gas Heating Oil Electricity Water Sewer Transportation – Auto Mass Transit Travel
RI Typical Utility Cost & Consumption Distribution with Natural Gas • Typically the cost of utilities represents the second or third largest budget line item • The pie chart represents a typical annual utility budget break down $ 4600.00 Annual Cost
RI Typical Utility Cost & Consumption Distribution with Heating Oil • Typically the cost of utilities represents the second or third largest budget line item • The pie chart represents a typical annual utility budget break down $4759.00 Annual Cost
NE Residential Utility Cost $1966.00 Annual Cost 1206 CCF, 7841 kWh
NE Residential Utility Cost $4683.00 Annual Cost 1197 CCF, 8108 kWh
Energy Management “You can’t manage what you haven’t measured” The foundation of sound and sustainable energy management
An Energy Management Plan What is it? A Must Have Tool • Measurement • Tracking and bench marking • Identifying all utilities • Educated approach to use and procurement • It will yield savings • IT IS ACCOUNTABILITY
Why Do You Need A Plan It allows you to see were, when & how • You use energy • How efficient you are • Identifies areas of concern • The basis for repairs • Utility budget forecasting • Project Planning • Grant Opportunities • Renewable Energy Projects • Environmental Impact
Accountability Utility bill Tracking and Bench Marking • Tracking • History • Cost • Consumption • Weather • Excel, Energy Cap Pro or Com Check • Energy Star-Portfolio Manager • Utility Module • Energy Tracker – Spring 2009
Understanding Your Utility Bill Identify all of your utilities – Perform a building survey and list all utilities & meters Reading and understanding the bill Use – consumption Demand – rate of consumption Taxes Energy Fee Other Charges
Energy Accounting Collect Building Physical Data • Physical Attributes • Multiple buildings/meters • Construction type • Floor plans, schematics, equipment schedule, zoning • Operational Profiles • Occupancy Profiles • Occupied Hours • Local Weather Data • Average Monthly Temperatures • Heating & Cooling Degree Days
Energy Fundamentals Common Units of Measurement • Electricity - kilowatt (kW); kilowatt-hour(kWh) • Natural Gas - cubic foot, therm, Dth • Fuel Oil - gallon • LPG - gallon • Water & Sewer – CF, HCF, Kgals.
Energy Fundamentals • British Thermal Unit, Btu • 1 Btu = Heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree F or 1 match • Common thermal unit in most building energy analyses 1lb. Water Raised 1 degree Fahrenheit
Energy FundamentalsThermal Values • Natural Gas • 1 Cubic Foot = 950 to 1150 Btu • 1 CCF = 100 Cubic Feet • 1 MCF = 1,000 Cubic Feet • 1 Therm = 100,000 Btu • 1 CCF is approx 1 Therm • Fuel Oil • Kerosene = 134,000 Btu/Gallon • Number 2 = 140,000 Btu/Gallon • Number 6 = 152,000 Btu/Gallon • Propane • LPG = 91,600 to 95,000 Btu/Gallon • Steam • 10 PSIG = 1000 Btu/Lb. • 100 PSIG = 1100 Btu/Lb. • Coal • Lignite = 11,000 Btu/Lb. • Bituminous = 14,000 Btu/Lb. • Electricity • 1 kW = 1000 Watts • 1 kWh = 3413 Btu • Miscellaneous • Wood = 8,500 Btu/Lb • U235 = 75,000,000 Btu/gram
