ENERGY, WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT RETAP Discuss with the electric utility the possibility of adding load control to the air conditioning condensers, similar to the Xce1 Energy SaverSwitch. This could possible provide and an AC credit of $5 per ton per month for four summer months for a total of $280 a year. Lighting Consider replacing the nine, 175 watt mercury vapor lights in the entry area with 42 watt compact fluorescent lamps (CFCs). The mercury vapor lights draw about 205 watts each with their ballasts. For 2,000 operating hours per year, these lights use 410 KwH per year each or 3,690 KwH per year for nine. The CFCs would use about 756 KwH per year for a savings of 2,934 KwH and $296 per year. Replace the T-12 fluorescent lamps and their magnetic ballasts in the meeting room with 28 watt T-8 lamps and electronic ballasts. The fixtures can be reused-only the lamps and ballasts need.. to be changed. This would save about 1,392 KwH and $142 per year, based on 2,000 operating hours per year. The eleven, 200 watt metal halide lights in the parking/security areas, are probably "super saver" now and "fairly" efficient. These presently use about 215 watts each and if they are ON about 4,380 hours per year, they would use 942 KwH per year each, at a cost of $95 each or $1,047 total for 11, per typical year. As the first cost of LED lighting becomes more competitive, condiser replacing the metal halide with LED lights. Potential savings would be about 75 percent, or more than $750 per year. Replacement options for all lighting should be reviewed periodically for new energy saving technologies. Water/ Sewer Add an insulation jacket to the water heater. Potential savings would be 19 therms and $15 per year. The 309,000 gallons of water used for the year is about 847 gallons per day, including weekends. The Senior Activity Center is not charged for water or sewer. However, water conservation should be considered with low flow plumbing fixtures and developing a "culture" of conservation in the facility. Waste/Recycling The $641 per year for waste/recycling cost seems reasonable for this facility and does now allow for much improvement. Section 5 below provides guidelines for solid waste and recycling management. Other All electrical equipment including lights should be turned OFF when not being used and during night and weekend hours. 5: Solid Waste and Recycling Management following are guidelines for effective solid waste and recycling management. Much or most of this information may not be applicable to your facility. 1. Level of Fill, Frequency of Rick-ups, Dumpster Size. Compactor Page6 of 9
