Project Overview

OPPORTUNITY

FAA Noise Abatement Grant - Port of Seattle

• In 2011, the College received a FAA Noise

Abatement Grant

• Envelope upgrades was primary focus

• Not enough funding to address the other

Identified challenges

Department of Commerce Grants

• Bundled EE projects on Campus leveraging

FAA funds to qualify for DOC grants

• Leveraged minimal funds available from College

Project Overview

Measurement & Verification – B4 MacDonald-Miller conforms to the International Performance Measurement

and Verification Protocol (IPMVP)

IPMVP Option D. Energy Model Simulation

Agreed to by DES and College as the proper M&V option to use

Document building conditions for the energy model simulation

• Envelope

• Lighting

• Mechanical system operation

• Miscellaneous equipment energy usage

• Existing and proposed hours of operation

Post Project M&V:

• Infrared pictures of Envelope

• Document wattage of installed lighting

• Trend lighting panel to confirm schedules

• Trend HVAC operation to confirm scheduling, Occupied and unoccupied setpoints.

• Compare trending and equipment efficiencies to savings calculations and compare

them to the guaranteed savings. Sa

Attractive ESCO Projects

1. Projects with significant Energy/Utility

Savings • Interior and exterior Lighting (LED)

• HVAC projects – chillers, boilers, pumps, AHUs,

distribution systems, commissioning

• Water conversation projects

• Building Envelope Upgrade

Attractive ESCO Projects

2. Projects with some energy savings and significant project complexities

• Projects that require scheduling work around client requirements on critical deadlines

• Projects with numerous unknowns like retro commissioning projects or major HVAC renovations

• Projects that need contractor flexibility

• Projects that need guaranteed cost & energy savings to apply for grants
