Case Study on Energy saving initiatives at Building A
Pursuant to Governor Markel’s Executive Order #18, we began a comprehensive effort to save energy at the Building A by centrally monitoring facility conditions, enacting temperature settings as directed, and employing advanced Building Automation System (BAS) control strategies. Ted Lambert from Modern Controls, Inc was co-opted for this effort, beginning in November, 2009 and mostly completed in June, 2010.
The results are as follows:
KWh reduction 16.3 %
Electrical Cost Savings $10,767.12
Gas usage reduction 19.9 %
Natural Gas Cost Savings $8,690.27
Total Cost Savings $19457.39
Labor and material costs to implement these improvements totaled about $15,000 to date. Spreadsheets on monthly electrical and gas usage from the Energy Star Portfolio Manager program are attached. Based on these figures, we anticipate that the percentage of energy saved with these improvements over an entire year, will meet or exceed the 30% energy reduction target.
