Environmental Controls I/IG Electrical Power Management
“Facts of Life” Utilities are licensed to provide sufficient capacity to maintain expected demands New power plants are expensive to license and construct • Nuclear • Hydroelectric • Natural Gas • Oil • Coal All pose safety concerns to humans or the environment
Sources of Electrical Power http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/infosheets/electricgeneration.htm Coal 51 Nuclear 20 Natural Gas 17 Water 7 Petroleum 3 Other 2 Total 100%

Supply Side Management Biomass: “Waste to Energy” http://www.co.hennepin.mn.us/vgn/portal/internet/hcdetailmaster/0,2300,1273_83267_100490584,00.html
Supply Side Management Tidal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Fundy
Demand Side Management Conservation instead of New Construction www.utahpower.net
Demand Side Management Consumption Control: More efficient lamps More efficient motors More efficient appliances Controls (occupancy sensors, etc.)
Demand Side Management Demand Control: Manual (timers, management) Automated (EMS, BAS, PC) Loads: Sheddable Non-sheddable S: F.25.13 p.1157
Demand Side Management Utility Incentives: • Time of Day Rates: load shifting • Demand Reduction Rebates: demand limiting • Equipment Rebates: consumption reduction • Contract Renegotiation: cost reduction UM Hospital, Ann Arbor MIAKA Associates, 1988
Demand Side Management Industry Incentives: • Partnering • Energy Codes • Tax Credits • “Green Lights” program UM Hospital, Ann Arbor MIAKA Associates, 1988
Design Practice Initiatives Design Certifications: • LEED • Energy Star • Green Globes Phillip Merrill Environmental Center, Annapolis MDSmithGroup, 2000
Design Practice Initiatives Stewardship of the Built Environment =Historic Preservation + Sustainability • Conserves resources • Reduces material streams • Revitalizes neighborhoods • Maintains “sense of place” • Increases livability Big-D Construction Headquarters, Salt Lake City, UTGSBS, 2005 1st LEED “GOLD” building in Utah

Utility Rate Structures Billing Components • Connection Charge • Consumption • Demand • Power Factor S: F.25.13 p. 1157
Utility Rate Structures Block Rate $X1 for first Y1 kwh $X2 for next Y2 kwh … Energy Charge $X per kwh
PEAK DEMAND Utility Rate Structures Ratchet Clause Charge to insure capacity based on previous peak demand AVG DEMAND
Utility Rate Structures Time of Day Rates $X1/kwh for on peak hours $X2/kwh for off peak hours … Uninterruptible Power Supply
Example Large General Service Rate $11.25/month service connection Demand charge: $9.72/kw Energy charge: $0.0682/kwh first 200 kwh $0.0632/kwh for remainder Ratchet clause: 11 month
