Collaborative Energy Planning at MCLB Albany

Integrated Energy Master Plan

Energy Exchange: Connect • Collaborate • Conserve

Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany (MCLBA) has received energy reduction accolades and millions in funding for several large scale renewable projects

Introduction

Secretary of the Navy Energy and Water

Management Award

Borehole ThermalEnergy Storage

Photovoltaic Power

Biomass Generation

Landfill Gas Generation


The awards and funding come despite several disadvantages

• Small, rural base• Low electric rate [$0.07/kWh]• Not ideal for typical renewables

3

Introduction


Key differences from typical approach

• Developing an Integrated Energy Master Plan is more than any single document

• Develop collaborative partnerships with firm(s) involved throughout the process instead of multiple consultants with multiple plans “thrown over fence”

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5

Preliminary: Installation Development Plan


Installation Development Plan

• Often times contracted out at agency level• Ensure plan is reviewed and accurately

captures direction of the installation• Key reference for development of Integrated

Energy Management Plan (IEMP)• Master planning is essential to evaluating

potential energy projects

6

Preliminary: Installation Development Plan


IEMP Goals

• Capture future energy direction of installation• Identify goals• Understand drivers and requirements• Understand trends and history• Understand installation mission (IDP)

7

Phase 1: Integrated Energy Management Plan


IEMP Action Plan

• More than graph showing progress• Target specific strategies• Prioritize technologies• Observe trends in how energy is used for

heating/cooling/process• Incorporate strategies into projected

consumption• Identify pitfalls• Identify funding mechanisms • IEMP is a dynamic mechanism, not a

static document; review annually and updated every ~3 years

8

Phase 1: Integrated Energy Management Plan


Net Zero Plan Development

• IEMP revealed tangible opportunity to achieve Net Zero

• Includes projected energy consumption from IEMP to set goal on renewable production

• Ensure partner understands future consumption and challenges from work on IEMP

9

Phase 1A: Net Zero Plan


Net Zero Plan Results

• Identified specific opportunities• Quantified energy production and implementation cost for each technology• To realize Net Zero, energy consumption must be reduced first• This laid the ground work for multiple projects

10

Phase 1A: Net Zero Plan


Energy Audits

• Concentrate on strategic buildings• Focus on identifying realistic ECMs

that will help meet goals (via collaborative partner)

• When awarding audits, include Design Build RFPs in the same task order so a design is ready at completion

• Seamless implementation of a project with a complete understanding of the goal and technical details

Projects Selection

• Develop potential project list to reduce energy consumption

• Collaborative discussions with installation engineers/planners to select best projects

• Energy projects for upcoming implementation

– Tornado recovery modernizations– GSHP (BTES) Phase II & III– Biomass power generation with P&G– RCx on 4 Buildings– Continued energy auditing

12


Biomass Power Generation with P&G


Project Limitations

• Partner understands installation’s limitations, challenges, history, goals, and preferences

• Example: variable refrigerant flow (VRF) is a great technology but maintenance experience is lacking and contractor located hours away

• Must understand upcoming SRM projects• Throwing projects over fence doesn’t work

13


Commissioning VRF system at Building 5501


Project Justification/Preparation

Establish repeatable documentation process with partner • Energy modeling for accurate savings• Detailed cost estimates• Capture all viable savings sources in

LCCAs• Develop 1391s with partner that

understands projects and goals• Highlight base energy goals in 1391• Plan for multiple 1391 and LCCA iterations

Phase 3: Project Funding

Phase 3: Project Funding

Project Funding Sources

• Identify funding avenues and pursue multipleRMe, ECIP, EIP, PPAs, EULs, Navy TechVal, ESPCs/UESCs (with coordination and oversight from team members)

• Regular meetings with installation engineers/planners

• Be flexible, funding is a moving target

• Have multiple projects on shelf ready to go


Project Execution Options

• Multiple options should be used• Design Bid Build, Design Build, Navy SPDB RFP, SOWs for shops/BOS• Not everything needs to be a full design

Identify other opportunities

• Collaborative partnership can identify other opportunities

• RCx: Develop SOWs for shops and ensure contract includes time for RCx team to meet with shop personnel at facilities to review issues

• IWWTP, WTP, Electrical, water, and natural gas infrastructure upgrades

• Multiple building renovations designed with GSHP

Re-evaluate Energy Status

• As projects are implemented, rebaseline energy use• Update energy management plan• Use collaborative partnership to identify other opportunities• Similar to ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard: Plan, Do, Check, Act
