  1. Energy and Infrastructure Upgrade ProgramUtilizing National Grid Incentives Rensselaer County Office Building

  2. Project Team • Siemens • Tom Garrett – Account Executive • Bill Clark – Energy Engineer • Rob Brash – Project Manager • National Grid • Mike DiAcetis – Solutions Rep. • Gene Hickok – Technical Support Coord. • Rensselaer County • CHA • DV Brown • ZeroDraft

  3. Project Benefits to County • Allows necessary facility improvements and repairs to be made without using capital or maintenance budgets. • Guaranteed performance with Siemens accountable for results. • Reduce expenditures for utility, technology, service and operations. • Provide life-cycle cost solutions and technology improvements.

  4. Rensselaer County Office Building

  5. Pre-Existing Building Conditions • Five story building, about 80,000 sq.ft. • Originally constructed as a school • Home to 26 County Departments • Perimeter baseboard heating via 2 aged sectional boilers • Cooling via a 30 ton RTU, AHU, and Liebert for data center • No existing EMS • RTU cycled on/off manually • AHU supply fan had catastrophically failed – RAF used to supply air • Chiller for AHU controlled by manually altering the chilled water supply T • No zone valves for heating – manually controlled

  6. Rensselaer County Office Building

  7. Facility Improvement Measures • Energy Management System Installation • Demand Control Ventilation • Replace 30 – Ton Rooftop Unit • Hot Water Reset Controls • Replace Electric Domestic Hot Water Heater with a Natural Gas Fired Unit • Replace Space heating Boilers with Condensing Units • Upgrade Lighting • Weatherization Improvements • Replace Emergency Generator

  8. EMS Installation • Apogee System Installed • Two workstations • Boiler room components • Main AHU, Chiller and Cooling Tower • RTU • Scheduling • Demand Control Ventilation • Heating zone valves and sensors • VFD on Main AHU Return and Supply Fans • Hot Water Reset Controls • Filter pressure sensors and alarms • Retro-comissioned face and bypass dampers – provided for “free cooling”

  9. Steps in Obtaining National Grid Incentives • Determine desired project scope • Contact Grid Account Manager/Solutions Representative • Explain process to client – contract is with the client • Understand programs available (evolving) • Determine projects that can be funded and complete applications • Custom measures • Prescriptive measures • Pre-project installation survey • Technical review of application • Pre-Approval letter from National Grid • Implementation of project • Post-installation verification • Client gets paid

  10. National Grid Incentives Prescriptive Measures • Boiler replacement $30,000 • Lighting upgrades $57,785 Custom Electric Incentives 1. DDC Controls $32,850 2. Demand control ventilation $11,271 Custom Natural Gas Incentive (DCV) $47,171 TOTAL INCENTIVES $179,077 Measures that did not qualify • Hot water reset & zone controls • DHW heater conversion to NG • RTU replacement • Building weatherization
