ENERGY, WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />Actual future savings will depend on weather, utility billing rates, site or operational changes, and on <br />recommendations implemented. <br />2: FaciEities <br />The Senior Activity Center is a one story building of 10,600 square feet. It has a vestibule. entry, a foyer, <br />meeting/conference room, large assembly room, small kitchen/break room and other supporting spaces. <br />HVAC is via three boilers and air handlers for heating and three outdoor cooling condensers for cooling <br />(two 4 ton units and one 6 ton unit). Lighting is a combination of mercury vapor lighting in the foyer area, <br />T-12 fluorescent lighting in the meeting/conference room and T-8 fluorescent lighting in the assembly area <br />and other spaces. Windows are double glass, thermo pane, "fair" quality with aluminum frames. Outdoor <br />parking & security lighting consists of eleven, 200 watt metal halide lights controlled with photocells. <br />3: Energy, ~/ater, Waste Coss and Benchmarks <br />Annual utility costs are presented in Table 1: Bill Data Summary, is provided in Table 4, on the last page <br />of the report. <br />Table 2: Annual Total Utility Costs <br />Electrical Fuel Water Waste Total <br />$13 003 $4 699 $0 $641 $18 340 <br />Table 3, below, lists the electric energy usage in KwH per sq.ft., the fuel use in Kbtu per sq.ft., the total <br />energy use in Kbtu per sq.ft, and DOE IA Benchmark numbers for the same parameters. <br />Table 3: Benchmark Information <br /> KwH/Ft2 Fuel Total 's/Ftz Tons C02 <br /> Kbtu/Ftz Kbtu/FtZ <br />Buildin Total 12.2 56 97 $1.67 122 <br />*DOE IA Benchmark 11.6 42 82 - - <br /> 0 0 0 $0 0 <br />'Department of Energy Information Agency 2003 Building Average Data, Zone 1(Degree Days > 7000) for Public Assembly buildings. <br />Note: Energy Star building energy efficiency requirements can be 20% to 30% below DOE IA Benchmarks. <br />The above table shows that the Senior Activity Center exceeded the DOE IA Benchmark numbers for both <br />electrical usage and fuel usage per square foot of space for the year evaluated.
