Barriers to ConservationBarriers to Conservation
Facility culture Past cheap energy Production mindset for creating revenue Maintenance budget constraints Resistance to change In the box thinking “We have always done it this
way”

Low Hanging Fruit OpportunitiesLow Hanging Fruit Opportunities
Systems operating when not adding value Lighting use (CFL’s, time clocks, occupancy sensors) Temperature set points and set backs not to
recommended standards Programmable thermostats or energy management
systems Replace aerators (faucet spray adapters) Compressed air pressure reduction Commission or tune systems Vending machine controls

Typical Justifiable OpportunitiesTypical Justifiable Opportunities
AdsilTM coating on condensers Light fixture retrofit (T12-T8-T5, CFL, LED) Variable speed drives Replace old motors with premium efficiency motors Replace old air conditioning equipment, boilers, or
chillers with new premium efficiency equipment Process part present switches Modular system sequencing Replace plumbing fixtures and flush valves Temperature reset based on outdoor air

ADSIL (www.adsil.com) Patented cleaning/coating process improves efficiency
of system by 12% in inland applications
Chemically bonds with aluminum fins and prevents oxidation, preventing efficiency losses
Does not support mold growth (when sprayed on evaporator coils, fan, and housing)
Improves flow over condenser, evaporator, and improves heat transfer efficiency
MACTEC developed EER grading tool for USEPA
MACTEC was chosen by USEPA to study and verify effects in hot/humid climate
