  1. Managing Energy Cost in Challenging Times Innovative one-stop service energy programs with the latest technology advances and special negotiated utility rebates a report from Energy Innovation Group Tomorrow’s Energy Technologies Today www.energyinnovation.net

  2. Roadmap to further cut energy cost If you have a mandate to further reduce costs … and you’ve already done most all you can to cut costs, what is possible? • Generally save 10%-30% more with “latest” technologies • Generally qualify for rebates up to 70% of project cost • Enjoy 25% to 50% R.O.I. • Recover investment from savings in 12 to 36 months • Complete projects with no cash outlay www.energyinnovation.net

  3. Electric demand is rising - prices follow demand Department of Energy data Delivered commercial energy consumption per capita - from DOE/EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2006 www.energyinnovation.net

  4. The strategy to materially cut electricity costs Department of Energy report depicting impact of taking advantage of the “best available technology” to cut cost. Delivered commercial energy intensity (variation from reference case) - DOE/EIA www.energyinnovation.net

  5. What savings is realistically attainable • Added savings of 8% to 12% for facilities already highly efficient • Savings of 25% to 50% for facilities not yet energy efficient • HVAC…save to 50% with compressor and controls, CO and CO2 sensors, EMS, and HVAC ultraviolet systems • LIGHTING …save to 70% for buildings, garages, and street lights with latest fluorescent, LED, and induction lighting, and controls www.energyinnovation.net

  6. — CB Richard Ellis"Your program not only produced rebates, but it led to many projects that otherwise wouldn't have happened. You helped us quantify the opportunities and then guided us through to their completion…..." www.energyinnovation.net

  7. –– Trammell Crow Company"We consider this a unique approach to utilize our relationships and infrastructure to benefit our clients and to significantly expand energy efficiency throughout our client base." www.energyinnovation.net

  8. — California Energy Commission"The diversity of so many energy technologies was another added value. EIG's guidance led to participants taking a more comprehensive approach to energy efficiency … BOMA members engaged in a wide variety of energy projects that reduced peak period demand by 17,000 kilowatts." www.energyinnovation.net

  9. HVAC ultraviolet (UVC) emitter technologyInstalls at A/C coil to cut energy cost, improve IAQ, eliminate coil cleaning Florida Hospital emitters enhance IAQ and infection control, save maintenance and downtime. The substantial energy savings are a great bonus.— Florida Hospital, Orlando, Florida UVC installation downstream of A/C coils www.energyinnovation.net

  10. HVAC ultraviolet (UVC) emitter technologyUVC cleans dirty coils and restores like-new performance We have eliminated our four-time per-year coil cleaning program and estimate a conservative 28% drop in A/C system energy usage.— American Electric Power, Dallas, Texas Steril-Aire UVC emitters www.energyinnovation.net

  11. HVAC ultraviolet (UVC) emitter technologyMicroscopic amounts of coil fouling significantly reduce efficiency Fouling Efficiency Thickness Loss .006” 16% .012” 20% .024” 27% .036” 33% .064” 50% 1. All A/C attracts mold and fouls coils. 2. Cleaning only removes surface fouling. 3. Coil fouling reduces heat transfer and air flow. www.energyinnovation.net

  12. HVAC ultraviolet (UVC) emitter technologyUVC cleans coils and greatly improves indoor air quality Coil fouling is demonstrated with samples taken from coils. Installed in coil plenum, UVC eradicates bacteria and mold. — Air Conditioning/ Heating/ Refrigeration News Sample of fouling taken before Steril-Aire Sample with no fouling after Steril-Aire www.energyinnovation.net

  13. HVAC ultraviolet (UVC) emitter technologyStop the spread of infectious disease through A/C delivery system UV disinfection works by penetrating cell walls of pathogenic organisms and structurally altering DNA, thus preventing cell replication. — U.S Environmental Protection Agency UVC light is so intense that it destroys DNA of viruses and other microorganisms www.energyinnovation.net

  14. Ventilation control CO2 sensor technologyElimination of excess outside air ventilation for major energy savings The City of Seattle has standardized on the AirTest CO2 sensor… although there was significant savings on cooling cost, the big savings was on heating costs.— Seattle City Light CO2 sensors placed in zones throughout building www.energyinnovation.net

  15. Ventilation control CO2 sensor technologyElimination of excess outside air ventilation can save up to 20% The cost for heating or cooling of excessive outside air for building ventilation can be up to 20% of HVAC cost. There are occupancy variations and excess ventilation over design in most buildings. www.energyinnovation.net

  16. CO2 sensors for demand control ventilation • Building air intakes are not measured and the delivery of outside air is not controlled, generally resulting in significant over-ventilation. • Most buildings are over-ventilated 200% to 400% in excess of actual need., especially those with significant occupancy swings . • CO2 system determines real-time occupancy throughout the building and adjusts outside air to match the need and cut HVAC cost 5- 20%. www.energyinnovation.net

  17. Garage fan CO sensor and VFD system Latest advance in electrochemical sensor technology Fan run time reduced from 24 hours to about 45 minutes per day – over 90% reduction with a simple payback of 18 months.— CB Richard Ellis, Westwood Plaza CO sensor installed in parking garage www.energyinnovation.net

  18. Garage fan CO sensor and VFD systemGarage fan run time reduced by 90% at Trident Center Total demand reduced from 67 kW before installation to 7 kW after installation, for a reduction of 90%. The project had a simple payback of 12 months.— Trident Center Project Summary, California Energy Commission Control unit www.energyinnovation.net

  19. Garage fan CO sensor and VFD system • Fans typically run continuously when enclosed garages are open. • Generally, CO level may require fans about 10% of the time. • CO sensors operate fans only when necessary to keep CO from reaching unhealthful levels to produce typical 80% to 90% savings. • VFDs on fans maintain constant base level of ventilation and only increase fans to levels necessary if CO is present. www.energyinnovation.net

  20. Oil-free refrigerant compressor technologyTurbocor oil-free compressor retrofit reducing HVAC costs to 70% This revolutionary technology provides efficiencies up to 30% better than any other compressor in its size range in addition to being extraordinarily quiet and virtually vibration free.— 2003 AHR Expo Innovation Awards Turbocor oil-free compressor www.energyinnovation.net
