th Steven Winter Associates, Inc. (SWA) performed energy
audits and conditions assessments of the Rockaway Township Municipal building and the Rockaway Township Free Public Library located in Rockaway, NJ in Morris County, as part of the New Jersey Clean Energy Local Government Energy Audit Program. Current conditions and energy-related information were collected in order to analyze and facilitate the implementation of energy conservation measures for the building. The following building assessment report summarizes the findings and recommendations of the building audit. The recommended energy and water conservation measures are summarized in the Proposed Scope of Work shown in the table on the following page. Estimated utility and associated cost savings are provided for each measure that will result in a reduction of heating, cooling, water, and/or electric usage. Pricing information for the measures is provided whenever possible. Energy data collected in the field was imported into eQuest energy conservation software to generate a baseline energy model of the building. SWA simulated the installation of energy improvement measures against the modeled baseline to create a projected model. Energy saving calculations and projected economics were utilized to support our conclusions. There are two separate buildings that were evaluated for this energy audit; The Rockaway Township Municipal building and the Rockaway Township Public Library. The Municipal building was built in 1980 and houses the Rockaway Township Police department, as well as the Municipal offices. The building consists of 32,000 square feet of conditioned space. There are approximately 100 employees and the Municipal offices operate approximately 40 hours a week, while the Police Department operates a 24 hour a day schedule year-round. The Library consists of 23,000 square feet of conditioned space, has 17 full time employees and operates between 68 and 71 hours a week depending on the season. The goal of this energy audit is to provide sufficient information to make decisions regarding the implementation of the most appropriate and most cost effective energy conservation measures for the building.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The document contains the Energy Audit Final Report for two buildings. It covers the Municipal building, which includes the Rockaway Police Department, located at 65 Mount Hope Road, Rockaway, NJ 07866. It also includes the Rockaway Township Free Public Library building, located at 61 Mt. Hope Road, Rockaway, NJ 07866. Both buildings are currently heated by the same heating plant, which is located in the Municipal building, and are served by the same electric meter. The Municipal building is a two level building that houses the Rockaway Township professional offices and public service functions, as well as the Rockaway Police Department Headquarters which occupies the basement level. The Rockaway Township Free Public Library is a two level building that houses the Library, with the lower level used for the children’s library and for staff offices. Based on the inspections performed by Steven Winter Associates (SWA) staff between May 6
th and
May 16th
, 2009, and the results of a comprehensive energy analysis, this report describes the site’s current conditions and recommendations for improvements. Suggestions for measures related to energy and conservation and improved comfort are provided in the scope of work. Energy and resource savings are estimated for each measure that results in a reduction of heating, cooling and electric usage. In the most recent years for which we have data, the Rockaway Township Municipal building consumed 1,047,680 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity at a cost of $154,221.53 and 25,319 therms of natural gas costing $33,691.22 in 2007 and approximately 1,021,440 kWh of electricity costing $162,644.91 and approximately 22,544.97 therms of gas costing $33,215.18 in 2008. SWA benchmarked the Municipal building using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star Portfolio Manager Energy benchmarking system. Since the building contains the Police Station, it is a mixed-use facility. For this reason, a national average cannot be determined to serve as the baseline in for use in generated a Portfolio Manager benchmark score for the building. Portfolio Manager is capable of generating a site energy use intensity number using 2008 as a baseline year. The site energy use intensity for the Municipal building is 104 kBtu/sq.ft/year. After energy efficiency improvements are made, future utility bills can be added to the Portfolio Manager and the site energy use intensity of a different time period can be compared to the year 2008 baseline to show changes in energy consumption over time. SWA recommends a total of 6 Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for the Municipal building and 6 ECMs for the Library. The total investment cost for the Municipal building would be $ 295,820 with a first year estimated savings of $57,387 and a simple payback period of 5.2 years. The investment cost for the Public Library would be $232,185 with estimated first year savings of $43,257 and a simple payback of 5.4 years . There are various incentives that Rockaway Township could apply for that could also help lower the cost of installing the ECMs. SWA recommends that the Township apply for the NJ SmartStart program through the New Jersey Office of Clean Energy. This program can provide technical assistance for the building in the implementation phase of energy conservation projects. Currently, the NJ Office of Clean Energy offers a Renewable Energy Incentive program that would pay $7,500 for the installation of each 7.5kW PV system. There is also an incentive that issues a Solar Renewable Energy Certificate for every 1000 kWh (1MWh) of electricity generated, which can be sold or traded for the current market rate of electricity.

1. HISTORIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION
1.1. Energy usage and cost analysis
SWA analyzed utility bills for 2007 and 2008 that were provided by Rockaway Township. Electricity – Both buildings are on one electric meter and service. The building buys electricity from Jersey Central Power and Light at an average aggregated rate of $0.159/kWh based on 2008 electric bills. The buildings used approximately 1,021,440 kWh at a cost of $162,644.91 in 2008. Based on 2008 data, the building also has an average monthly demand of 205 kW and
peak demand of 244.4 kW. Natural Gas – The two buildings also use one natural gas service and one gas meter for incoming natural gas from New Jersey Natural Gas. In 2008, the average aggregated rate for natural gas was $1.47/therm. The building used approximately 22,545 therms of gas costing $33,215.18 in 2008. The following chart shows electricity usage for the buildings based on utility bills for the year 2008.

Natural Gas
In the above chart, the natural gas usage follows a heating trend as expected. The extremely small hot water use of the Municipal building is reflected in the amount of gas used in the summer months. The Library uses electricity to produce hot water.
1.2. Utility rate
The buildings currently purchase electricity from JCP&L at the general service 3 rate. The Municipal building uses account # 1000000905016 at service address 65 Mount Hope Road, Rockaway, NJ 07866. Natural Gas service is provided by New Jersey Natural Gas, account # 14-1167-3195-10. Electricity was billed at an average aggregated rate of $0.159/kWh and natural gas was billed at an average aggregated rate of $1.47/therm.
1.3. Energy benchmarking
The building information and utility data were entered into the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star Portfolio Manager energy benchmarking system. A summary report of the Portfolio Manager results is provided on the following page. The consumption for both the municipal building and library were combined in this analysis because the buildings are served off of one gas and one electric meter. The energy performance rating therefore can not be calculated because it is a mixed use space for which there is no set benchmark. Per the LGEA program requirements, SWA has assisted the Township of Rockaway to create an Energy Star Portfolio Manager account and share the Rockaway Library facilities information to allow future data to be added and tracked using the benchmarking tool. SWA has shared this Portfolio Manager site information with TRC Energy Services, user name TRC-LGEA, as well as the Township of Rockaway with the following user name and password: User name: “Rockawaytownship” Password: “Rockaway”

2. FACILITY AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
2.1. Building Characteristics
The Municipal building was built in 1980 and currently houses the Rockaway Municipal offices and the Police Headquarters. The building is one-story with a daylight basement and a total floor area of 32,000 square feet. The Police Headquarters uses the entire lower level and consists of mostly office space but also contains separate men and women holding cells, a locker room and gym, a radio dispatch center and a sally port garage. The Library was also built in 1980 and while most of the space is used for the library, there are several offices as well as a staff break room and a meeting room. It is comprised of 23,000 square feet of conditioned floor area.
2.2. Building occupancy profiles
There are approximately 100 employees in the Municipal building at any given time but occupancy can swell significantly when court is in session or during special events. The library has 17 full time employees with volunteers putting in about 5 hours a week. Obviously the library building occupancy will constantly be changing during operating hours.
2.3. Building envelope
2.3.1. Exterior walls
The exterior walls of both buildings consist of concrete blocks with a brick facade. There is one and one half inches of rigid polyurethane foam sandwiched between the concrete blocks and the face brick. Due to de-rating of performance over time, the insulating value (R-Value) is probably equivalent to R-8 or R-9. Adding insulation to this type of wall construction is not cost effective.
2.3.2. Roof
The roofs of both buildings are flat or extremely low-slope and are constructed of a one and a half inch metal deck with approximately two inches of perlite-urethane rigid insulation and a built-up roofing (BUR) that may have been covered with gravel at one time. The two inches of perlite-urethane insulation would have provided an R-Value of approximately R-11 to R-14 when new. The roofs are approaching the end of their useful lives and should be replaced in the near future. SWA recommends installation of a new Liquid Applied Membrane (LAM) roof covering. LAM roofing is relatively inexpensive and does not necessitate opening up the roof to the weather during installation limiting the possibility of any weather related damage to the structure.
2.3.3. Base
The Municipal building’s base is a five-inch concrete slab-below-grade in most places and a five-inch slab-on-grade in others. The Library’s base is predominately a five-inch slab-on-grade. There were no reported problems with water penetration or moisture. The perimeter of the foundation walls is insulated with one and a half inches of rigid polystyrene foam board.

The building plans did not indicate if the insulating material was expanded or extruded polystyrene but considering when the buildings were built, it is probably the more common expanded polystyrene. Polystyrene is a closed cell material that can be molded into various shapes. It is similar to polyurethane in that it is also manufactured using a blowing agent of low-conductivity gas and will also experience some thermal drift over time. The slab perimeter insulation provided an approximate R-Value of R-7 to R-8 when new. Excavation to install additional foundation wall and slab insulation is expensive and would not be cost-effective as a single measure. However, if the perimeter of the building is ever excavated to repair or replace drainage protections, installing an additional two inches of rigid foam board insulat ion should be considered.
2.3.4. Windows
There is an extensive amount of glazed area compared to solid exterior wall area in both buildings. The existing windows are aluminum framed with dual glazing. They are in fair condition. SWA conducted tests on the window panes and was not able to determine if a low-e film coating or gas filling existed on and in these windows. Based on the age of the buildings, SWA assumes that the windows have neither an effective low-e coating nor an inert gas between the panes of glass. Interviews with staff members reflect a consensus that the windows are “cold and leaky”. Part of the reason for comfort complaints is that much of the original weather-stripping on the windows has deteriorated, which allows infiltration of unconditioned outside air into the interior. Aluminum frames that do not have a thermal break also allow heat to be conducted out of the building. The occupant feedback may indicate that the windows were manufactured without a “thermal break” – a polypropylene gasket that isolates the interior aluminum frame from the exterior frame – preventing the frame from being a thermal bridge that rapidly conducts heat directly through the aluminum to the outside. The operable windows are an unusual type of sliding mechanism that actually levers the entire sash up and over into a channel that provides a pathway for the window to slide past the adjacent glazing. The lever is extremely difficult to operate and several staff members said that, once open, the windows were almost impossible to close properly, and as such, they do not ever open them. The SWA building analyst did see several windows that were stuck in a not quite closed position allowing unconditioned air to infiltrate the building interior. This almost assures that the windows are never used for ventilation as they were designed to. New windows are an extremely expensive project and, strictly from an energy/cost saving viewpoint, do not show a favorable cost/benefit analysis. However, in a commercial building, occupant comfort plays a significant role in productivity. So, replacing the windows with high performance windows may provide comfort and aesthetic benefits. There are also interior and exterior retrofit strategies that would provide increased comfort for building occupants and significant energy savings. One alternative may be the installation of an interior storm window system manufactured using two layers of high strength plastic film on an aluminum frame. This type of system has been shown to lower the u-value (u-value is a measure of transmission of heat through a material or assembly; lower numbers indicate better performance) of single pane windows from about .9 to .31, almost triple the insulating value. These systems have also been shown to reduce drafts and minimize radiation from cold surfaces. It is difficult to verify the rated energy performance of site-built assemblies, as a

result, it is difficult to guarantee energy savings and any associated economic payback. Selection of the appropriate alternative should be made with consideration to comfort, durability, window functionality, and aesthetics as well as possible energy savings. As a maintenance practice, the weather-stripping on all windows should be inspected and all missing or deteriorated sections should be repaired or replaced. Although natural daylighting has been shown to improve occupant health, solar heat gain and glare from older glazing often negatively impact activities and comfort within the space. For problem areas, it may be beneficial to install tinted glazing or a window film to reduce the glare and solar heat gains. Tinting or films may provide some energy savings but are primarily intended to improve occupant comfort.
2.3.5. Exterior doors
The exterior doors of both buildings are in satisfactory condition and much of the weather-stripping is still intact. Exterior doors are a major source of heat loss in general. SWA recommends checking the weather-stripping of each exterior door on a regular basis and replacing any broken seals immediately. This will prevent unconditioned air from infiltrating into the building interior.

2.3.6. Building air tightness
Based upon a visual inspection, both buildings were observed to be relatively well-sealed considering their age. There were no observed significant deficiencies of air tightness within either building. SWA recommends that all exterior doors and windows be carefully inspected on a regular basis and all missing or deteriorated weather-stripping be repaired or replaced. Any caulking at the perimeter of windows and doors should also be inspected and cracked or missing caulking should be cleaned and re-caulked. Any asbestos-like-material should be properly abated before energy-efficient upgrades, such as air sealing or adding insulation, are conducted.
2.4. HVAC systems
2.4.1. Heating
The heating plant consists of two Weil McLain hot water boilers for space heating. Both boilers appear to be about 30 Years old; one has a capacity of 1.79 million Btu/hour (MMBtu/hr), the other 1.05 MMBtu/hr. Each boiler has two vent stacks and along with the domestic hot water stack, all use a common chimney. These boilers supply heating to the Municipal building and the Public Library. There are two, 2 horsepower Armstrong circulator pumps for each boiler along with two 3/4 horsepower booster pumps to move hot water to the library. There are two 1/3 horsepower pumps on the basement floor for the police department heating. These boilers also provide space heating for the Public Library at 61 Mount Hope Road. There are hot water supply and return lines running from the Municipal building underground at the northern perimeter of the parking area about 600 feet to the library. Two ¾ horsepower circulators supply and return the heating water to the library and back to the municipal building. In the library mechanical room there are two ¾ horsepower building pumps for hot water heating.

There are two main types of heating distribution. Heating water from the boilers feed coils inside the air supply ducts over which air is heated before being introduced into the building work areas. There is also a perimeter distribution system of baseboard convectors to which heating water flows from the boilers. One air handling unit (AHU) with a heating water coil from the boilers brings in 100% fresh air, which moves over the hot water coil and is warmed before being distributed into the indoor shooting range adjacent to the police station on the lower level. The heated air is then completely exhausted and more heated fresh air is brought in. SWA is recommending replacement of the entire heating plant and installing a separate dedicated heating system for the library installed in the library building as well as a new dedicated system for the Municipal building. This will necessitate running a natural gas line to the library and disconnecting the underground supply and return pipes currently used to bring heating water between the library and the Municipal building. Underground heating pipes are problematic in several ways. In addition to the heat loss through the hundreds of feet of underground pipe, there will also be a problem identifying the location of any leaks in the system. Leaks in the supply or return lines will make it necessary to constantly introduce cold ground water into the system, water that has to be brought up to working temperature and that contains minerals harmful to the boilers. The new boilers should be condensing boilers, which are capable of running at significantly higher efficiencies than traditional, non-condensing boilers. As condensing boilers are so efficient, there will be no need to build a chimney for the library system as the vent gases in condensing boilers are cool enough that they can be vented from the building in PVC pipe.
2.4.2. Cooling
Municipal Building
The cooling system consists of two Trane roof top unit electric package DX systems with single zone variable air volume (VAV) distribution systems. Both units are equipped with built-in hot water coils to preheat intake air supplied to the air handlers in winter months. The larger of the two systems is a 50 ton unit with a ten horsepower exhaust and a 15 horsepower supply fan motors. This unit serves the Municipal offices and public service areas on the upper level. This is original equipment and as such is almost 30 years old which, according to Trane, is beyond the expected useful life of this type of system. The smaller system is a 20 ton unit that serves the lower floor Police Department offices. This is also original equipment that has gone beyond its’ expected useful life. The distribution system for both consists of package air handler with VAV boxes with supply air ducted to diffusers serving the interior. The larger unit for the upper floors is equipped with 15 dedicated thermostats for each fan/coil supply. There are eight thermostats for the lower floor system. The space above the dropped acoustical tile ceiling is used as the return air plenum.

SWA recommends replacement of both cooling systems each with an energy efficient rating of at least 12.5. The new systems should be equipped with NEMA premium high efficiency motor and variable frequency drives.
Rockaway Public Library Cooling
Cooling for the library is provided by a Trane 40 ton roof top electric packaged DX unit with a 10 horsepower exhaust fan and 15 horsepower supply fan motor. It is a single zone VAV system that is also approaching 30 years old and has outlived its’ expected useful life. This unit also has a hot water coil to preheat air for distribution through the roof top air handler for space heating during winter. This unit provides cooling for both levels of the library. SWA recommends replacement of this system with an energy efficient rating of at least 12.5. The new system should also be equipped with NEMA premium high efficiency motor and variable frequency drives.
2.4.3. Ventilation
The roof top units supply fresh air to the air handlers for the variable air volume distribution system. The air handler for the shooting range supplies 100% heated fresh air during the winter time and unconditioned fresh air , as needed, during the summer. There are exhaust fans for the restrooms. Ventilation for the library is also provided by the package roof top unit. ASHRAE Standard 62-99 identifies the outdoor air ventilation required for indoor air quality. Almost all municipal, state and federal jurisdictions use these guidelines as gospel in their building codes and bylaws. The traditional method of accomplishing the ventilation rates was to set the outdoor air quantity to maximum design occupancy. This can result in a tremendous waste of energy when the occupant load is not at maximum –almost always the situation in many commercial buildings - or intermittent use of the space. Carbon dioxide monitoring and control is an acceptable method of reducing ventilation rates when occupancy is below the design load. This ensures ASHRAE standards are being met and only expending the necessary amount of energy.
SWA recommends installation of CO2 based demand controlled ventilation (DCV) for both buildings. Currently, the air handling units for the Municipal building and the library provide minimum outside air based on the building’s maximum design occupancy. The proposed measure will see that instead of continuously ventilating the space at a constant rate designed to accommodate the maximum occupancy of the building, the CO2 based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) will assure that the amount of outside air drawn in for ventilation depends on the building's actual occupancy at any given time. This strategy results in energy savings because it reduces the amount of air that needs to be conditioned as well as the fan energy used to move that air. DCV primarily refers to when actual occupancies are approximated by measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) levels within a building with sensors. This strategy results in energy savings because it reduces the amount of air that needs to be conditioned as well as the fan energy used to move that air.

There is also an issue with ventilation in the pistol range. The present system provides more than sufficient ventilation but this is done by not re-circulating any inside air. The separate dedicated air handling unit draws 100% fresh air, heats it and supplies the pistol range. The heated air is then completely exhausted with new fresh air introduced in the next cycle. A contaminant based demand controlled ventilation system would supply fresh air based on the amount of specific contaminants in the pistol range air (lead for example), and supplies fresh air only when these contaminants are approaching uncomfortable or dangerous levels.
2.4.4. Domestic Hot Water
In the Municipal building, domestic hot water (DHW) is provided by a natural gas direct-fired 156,000 Btuh water heater / storage tank combination, with a 48 gallon storage capacity. DHW for the Library is provided by a 9kW electric water heater with 30 gallons of storage. SWA recommends replacing both domestic water heaters with new, high efficiency gas-fired condensing boilers with separate storage tanks. More efficient hot water appliances will save energy through reduced energy consumption for water heating with additional cost savings due to reducing water and sewer bills. Energy saving appliances bearing the ENERGY STAR label should be selected to ensure efficiency performance.

2.5. Electrical systems
2.5.1. Lighting Interior Lighting –Both the Rockaway Municipal Building and the Public Library were built in 1980, almost all of the lighting is older technology and there are ample opportunities for significant improvement. Most of the lighting in both buildings is comprised of fixtures contain older magnetic ballasts and T12 (1.5 inch diameter) linear fluorescent lamps. There are several types of lighting that are used in the building, the most prevalent being fluorescent. Fluorescent lighting uses 25%–35% of the energy used by incandescent lamps to provide the same amount of illumination (efficacy of 30–110 lumens per watt). They also last about 10 times longer (7,000–24,000 hours). The light produced by a fluorescent tube is caused by an electric current conducted through mercury and inert gases. Fluorescent lamps require a ballast (transformer) to regulate operating current and provide a higher start-up voltage. Most of the lighting ballasts at the building are magnetic and should be upgraded. Electronic ballasts outperform standard and improved electromagnetic ballasts by operating at a very high frequency that eliminates flicker and noise. Electronic ballasts also are more energy-efficient. Special ballasts are needed to allow dimming of fluorescent lamps. Improvements in technology have resulted in fluorescent lamps with color temperature and color rendition that are comparable to incandescent lamps. There are two general types of fluorescent lights: Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) Fluorescent linear tubes, U-tubes and circline (round) lamps The municipal building and library use predominantly linear and U-tube fluorescents but there are a number of compact fluorescents in recessed fixtures in a few areas of both buildings The lighting for the Municipal building is generally operating for approximately 8.5 hours a day during the Municipality’s business hours (Monday through Friday year round). The Library lighting operates for as much as 71 hours a week. In accordance with requirements of the Local Government Energy Audit program, SWA, Inc. performed an investment grade lighting audit, which provides a comprehensive survey of existing lighting, and an extensive technical and financial analysis. It provides a dynamic simulation of the base building, calibrated against actual energy bills, as well as the proposed energy conservation measures. Refer to Appendix A for a table detailing the survey the existing lighting and separate tables showing the lighting fixtures that should be improved and the fixtures that should replace them and an analysis showing simple payback, life cycle cost/benefit and return on investment. Exit Lights – The exit lighting at the Municipal and Library buildings presently contain small incandescent lamps and should be replaced with light emitting diode (LED) fixtures at such time that the existing fixtures need replacement.

Exterior Lighting – SWA included all the exterior lighting on the Municipal complex grounds and found opportunities for improvement. Currently, the pole lighting around both buildings and the parking areas contain High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps. High Pressure Sodium is a type of high-intensity discharge lamp that uses sodium under high pressure as the primary light producing element. HPS lighting is used mostly in industrial applications and for security, street lights and other outdoor area lighting. They are probably the most prevalent large area outdoor lighting source. They are considered high efficiency lighting as they have a high efficacy of between 50 and 140 lumens per watt, and have a long useful life. However, recent improvements in outdoor LED (light-emitting diode) lighting provide another option for high efficiency outdoor lighting. A light-emitting diode is a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electric current is applied in the forward direction of the device. LEDs are widely used as indicator lights on electronic devices and increasingly in higher power applications such as flashlights and even in some area lighting. An LED is usually a small area light source, often with optics added to the chip to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection. The color of the emitted light depends on the composition and condition of the semi-conducting material used, and can be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet. SWA is recommending replacing the existing 400 watt high pressure sodium lamps in the pole lights with HTS-8 LED lamps with an input rating of 88 watts.
2.5.2. Appliances and Processing
Look for the Energy Star label when replacing appliances and equipment, including: window air conditioners, refrigerators, printers, computers, copy machines, etc. More information can be found in the “Products” section of the Energy Star website at: http://www.energystar.gov Appliances, such as refrigerators, that are over 10 years of age can be replaced with newer efficient models with the Energy Star label. For example, Energy Star refrigerators use as little as 315kwh/hr. When compared to the average electrical consumption of older equipment, Energy Star equipment results in a large savings.
Computers left on consume a lot of energy. A typical desk top computer uses 65 to 250 watts and uses the same amount of energy when the screen saver is left on. Televisions use approximately 3-5 watts of electricity when turned off. SWA recommends all computers and all appliances (i.e. fridges, coffee makers, televisions, etc) be plugged in to power strips and turned off each evening just as the lights are turned off.
2.5.3. Elevators
There is no elevator in the Municipal building. There is one hydraulic elevator in the Library. It is not cost-effective to replace the elevator.
2.5.4. Other electrical systems
Except for the 187.5 kVA Caterpillar Emergency backup generator, there are currently no other major electrical systems installed at this building.

4. ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
Based on the assessment of this building, SWA has separated the investment opportunities into three categories of recommendations:
1. Capital Improvements – Upgrades not directly associated with energy savings 2. Operations and Maintenance – Low Cost/No Cost Measures 3. Energy Conservation Measures – Higher cost upgrades with associated energy savings
Category I Recommendations: Capital Improvements
Demand controlled ventilation system for pistol range
Interior Storm Window System
Category II Recommendations: Operations and Maintenance
Weather Stripping/Air Sealing – As a best practice, exterior/overhead doors and vestibule doors should be observed annually for deficient weather-stripping and replaced as needed. The perimeter of all window frames should also be regularly inspected and any missing or deteriorated caulking should be re-caulked to provide an unbroken seal around the window frame. Building staff should also verify that windows open and close properly and repair, as needed. Any other accessible gaps or penetrations in the thermal envelope should also be sealed with caulk or spray foam. Particular attention should be paid to penetrations and doors connecting the main building to the garage to prevent transfer of combustion product.
Pipe Insulation – All heat water, steam and DHW pipes should be inspected and any missing or deteriorated insulation should be replaced with new.
Plug-In Timer Controls – For locally controlled equipment that the staff are currently responsible for turning off equipment when not in use. Plug-in timer controls can be utilized to ensure electrical equipment does not operate during unoccupied periods.
Lighting Controls - Occupancy sensors and/or photocells, should also be considered. In applications where occupants tend to leave the lights running inadvertently, such as during fire response or other extended periods of absence, the occupancy sensors automatically shut-off the lights. Since operating hours vary, a survey of the building occupants can provide the most accurate feedback on lighting usage patterns within the facility to help determine the appropriateness of lighting controls.
Energy Star Appliances - Consider Energy Star labeled equipment and appliances when replacement is necessary, including: refrigerators, printers, computers, copy machines, etc. Water Efficient Fixtures & Controls - Adding controlled on/off timers on all lavatory faucets is a cost-effect way to reduce domestic hot water demand and save water. Building staff can also easily install faucet aerators and/or low-flow fixtures to reduce water consumption. There are many retrofit options, which can be installed now or incorporated as equipment is replaced. Routine maintenance practices that identify and quickly address water leaks are a low-cost way to save water and energy. Retrofitting with more efficient water-consuming fixtures and appliances will save both energy and money through reduced energy consumption for water heating, while also decreasing water and sewer bills.

ECM#1: New High Efficiency Lighting
Description:
The lighting at both buildings is comprised of older technologies. There are some incandescent lighting and some compact fluorescent lighting. The bulk of the lighting is provided by linear fluorescents using magnetic ballasts and T12 diameter lamps. Almost all of the linear fluorescent lighting should be replaced, or retrofitted where possible, with electronic ballasts and T8 diameter lamps.

Assumptions: Certain assumptions were made regarding the amount hours each day that the existing lights are actually turned on and drawing power. Wherever possible, SWA used time provided by Rockaway Township staff. Demand charges and savings were estimated based on JCP&L price comparison table.
Rebates/financial incentives:
The New Jersey Clean Energy SmartStart Buildings program offers financial incentives for installation of certain energy efficient equipment, such as high efficiency T8 fluorescent lighting. If maximum incentives were to be realized, the incentives would amount to $11,890 to help offset the cost of the lighting.
Options for funding ECM: This project may benefit from enrolling in NJ SmartStart program with Technical Assistance to offset a portion of the cost of implementation. http://www.njcleanenergy.com/commercial-industrial/programs/nj-smartstart-buildings/nj-smartstart-buildings

ECM#2: New Boilers
Description:
Presently, both buildings are heated primarily from a two boiler heating plant located in the Municipal building. The boilers are old and approaching the end of their useful life expectancy. The piping bringing the heating water to and from the library runs under hundreds of feet of parking lot. This presents several problems. Traveling that distance necessitates heating the water to a high enough temperature to assure that it is still hot enough to keep the library comfortable despite all the heat loss that that length of piping will create. It also makes it almost impossible to locate and repair any leaks in the underground supply or return lines, necessitating introduction of unheated water into the loop to replace any leaks.
A new gas service should be brought to the library and a new condensing boiler installed in the library building. The underground pipes should be disconnected and closed off. A new boiler should be installed in the Municipal building to heat the Municipal offices and the Police Station. SWA has been informed by a representative of New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) that NJNG has offered to install the new gas service in the library without charge if Rockaway provides the ditch. Rockaway has confirmed that they had indeed received this offer and if they decide to go ahead with the project, will use in-house labor to prepare the ditch.
The cost estimates below do not reflect the services of design professional(s) required to determine the appropriate system configuration and sizing, and to ensure code compliance. Additional design services may be required to determine the appropriate location of the new mechanical room.

Rebates/financial incentives: The Boilers are equipment for which incentives are available from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Gas fired boilers between 300 and 1,500 thousand btus (MBtuh) qualify for a rebate of $1.75 per MBtuh.Depending on final sizing of the boilers, each one should qualify for approximately $1,750 (assuming installation of 1000 MBtuh boilers).

ECM#3: New Cooling Systems
Description:
The three existing package DX cooling systems located on the roof of both buildings are original equipment dating to when the buildings were built in 1980. Both are beyond their estimated useful lives and are being kept working only through extensive and expensive repairs and maintenance. The estimated Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) of all three is around 6 or 7. Newer systems can provide SEER values of 12 or more for this size unit. The exiting unit condensers are also using R22 refrigerant. SWA recommends that the Township of Rockaway look into the impending ban on R22 refrigerant. Production of R22 will be banned starting in 2010; however, R22 should still be available at a premium price for occasional replenishment needs of existing systems. Newer refrigerant choices include R134, R410A, etc.

ECM#4: Install CO2 Based Demand Controlled Ventilation
Description: Building codes require that a minimum amount of fresh air be provided to ensure adequate air quality. To comply, ventilation systems often operate at a fixed rate based on an assumed occupancy (e.g., 15 cfm per person multiplied by the maximum design occupancy). The result is there often is much more fresh air coming into buildings than is necessary, especially in buildings with long operating hours and occupancy that can be well below maximum for extended periods of time, such as public libraries and to a lesser degree, courtrooms and municipal offices. That fresh air must be conditioned, resulting in higher energy consumption and costs than is necessary with appropriate ventilation. In humid climates, excess ventilation also can result in uncomfortable humidity and mold and mildew growth, making the indoor air quality (IAQ) worse rather than better.
Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) using carbon dioxide (CO
2) sensing is a combination of two
technologies: CO2 sensors that monitor CO
2 levels in the air inside a building, and an air-handling system
that uses data from the sensors to regulate the amount of ventilation air admitted.
Installation cost: Municipal Building: $22,176 Public Library: $19,100
Source of cost estimate: Federal Energy management Program “Demand-Controlled Ventilation Using CO2 Sensors”; AirTest Energy Analysis Program for CO2 based demand-controlled ventilation.

Assumptions: SWA estimated the cost and savings of the measure based on the AirTest Energy Analysis Program for CO2 based demand controlled ventilation. There are certain assumptions made within the program that are detailed in program calculations available as a separate document.
Rebates/financial incentives: While there are no prescriptive incentives for retro-commissioning available from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, an argument could be made that the energy savings deriving from this measure should qualify for the custom electric and custom gas savings available from the SmartStart Commercial Building Incentive Program. Applications for the custom electric and gas incentives are included in the Appendix B of this document.
ECM#5: Install New Condensing DHW Boilers
The existing domestic water heaters are both older inefficient models. Both should be replaced with condensing type boilers with separate insulated storage tanks. The library replacement will be contingent upon installing a new natural gas service in the library (see ECM #2: New

ECM#6: Install Two 7.5kW PV systems Description:
Currently, neither building utilizes any renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic panels, can be mounted on the roof and offset a portion of the purchased electricity for the building. Utilities generally use two separate electrical charges; usage and demand. Usage is the amount of electricity in kilowatt-hours that a building uses from month to month. Demand is the amount of electrical power that a building uses at any given instance in a month period, with the utility’s charges based on the highest, or peak, demand during any specified period of the month. During summer periods, when electric demand at any power station is high due to the amount of air conditioners, lights, equipment, etc. being used within the region, demand charges go up to offset the utilities’ cost of providing enough electricity at that given time. Photovoltaic systems not only offset the amount of electricity consumed by a building but also reduce the buildings electric demand, resulting in a additional cost savings as well. SWA recommends installing a 7.5kW PV system on both buildings that will offset the highest annual demand for the buildings and perhaps allow the Township to actually sell electrical power back to the utility company at certain times.

Assumptions: SWA estimated the cost and savings of the system based on past PV projects.
Rebates/financial incentives: NJ Clean Energy – Renewable Energy Incentive Program, Incentive based on $1.00/watt Solar PV application. Incentive amount for this application is $7,500 per building as shown below:
$1/watt PV rebate, subtracted from installation cost for each building in the following tables. Estimated Cost w/out incentive: $60,000 - Rebate@$1 /watt * 7,500 watts = ($7,500)
Estimated cost: $52,500
http://www.njcleanenergy.com/renewable-energy/programs/renewable-energy-incentive-program NJ Clean Energy – Solar Renewable Energy Certificate Program. Each time a solar electric system generates 1000kWh (1MWh) of electricity, a SREC is issued which can then be sold or traded separately from the power. Incentive amount for this application is, assuming $600/kW, is $4,500 per building as shown below:
$600/kW Solar Renewable Energy Credits is credited in the energy savings calculation for each building in the following tables. Energy savings w/out incentive: 8,000 kWh * $0.159/kWh = $1,272 + SREC $600 * 7.5 kW = $4,500
Total 1st year Savings for each building = $5,772

4.1. Combined Heat and Power
Description: SWA analyzed the feasibility of installing a combined heat and power system (also know as co -generation) for the Rockaway Municipal and Library buildings but believes that the expense of this type of system makes it economically unfeasible at this time
4.2. Geothermal
Description: Geothermal is not applicable for the Municipal building because it would not be cost effective to change to a geothermal system.
4.3. Wind
Description: Wind power production is not appropriate for this location, because required land is not available for the wind turbine. Also available wind energy resource is very low.
4.4. Solar Thermal Collectors
Description:
In discussions with representatives from the Township of Rockaway, SWA was asked to investigate best-fit options for a solar thermal heating system for the Municipal Building. SWA’s analysis assumes that 50% of the roof area is available for installation space and that 30 U Tube Collector type cells would be used. For this type of system the estimated installed cost is approximately $350,000, with a potential annual energy savings of $17,000, with a payback in excess of 20 years. SWA does not recommend installation of this system at this time. As further incentives and rebates become available for this installation, the Township of Rockaway should reinvestigate this renewable energy option.

5.2. Tariff analysis
Rockaway Township currently buys electricity and gas for both buildings from Jersey Central Power and Light and New Jersey Natural Gas, respectively on general service rates. The general service is a typical rate where customers pay for natural gas based on usage and for electricity based on consumption and peak electrical demand. The general service rate is appropriate.
5.3. Energy Procurement strategies
Bill analysis shows prices fluctuation of over 20% for electricity and over 30% for natural gas over the course of the year.

SWA recommends that Rockaway contact the NJ Energy Choice program for assistance in deciding if a third party energy supplier for both the gas and the electricity would benefit the Township.
The building would not be eligible for enrolling in a Demand Response Program
because electric demand does not exceed 50kW, which is a typical threshold for considering this option.
