PROJECT APPR®ACH K sj ~ ~•; ~~. ~ a i .r R4J A RC)CH PROJECT UNDERSTANDING It is our understanding that the City of Elk River is seeking professional services to produce a retro-commissioning study of the systems at the City Hall per the Scope of Work described in this proposal. The city is looking into co-funding from the local utility company. The city hall facility measures 45,195 square feet not including the five-stall garage. Building owners are under enormous pressure to reduce energy costs while maintaining a healthy working environment for all building occupants. Throughout the recommissioning process, HEI will work with the recommissioning team to determine the best solutions to provide the city of Elk River with a working, comfortable, and energy efficient building. TEAMWORK Our philosophy is to work with the city of Elk River in a harmonious manner to facilitate the recommissioning process. We understand the owner's intent, and we feel that close contact with all team members throughout the process is very important to the success of this project. To achieve our goals through teamwork, we would recommend contact with the owner to discuss progress, tasks, and current issues. Through regular contact, the district will be able to observe the progress of the recommissioning process and give their input on maintaining the desired intent of the recommissioning study. SUCCESSFUL PROJECT A recommissioning project is successful only if the owner's intent of the recommissioning process was accomplished and the owner received a study that when implemented provided an improved environment for its occupants. HEI accomplishes this by providing experienced and energetic team members who are able to work with the district to meet their goals. TECHNOLOGY HEI's commissioning agents are experienced with both the latest design concepts and operational methods and are familiar with the many different brands of building automation systems. Each agent is armed with state-of-the-art equipment and resources. We have the needed experience to analyze temperature control systems and review trend logs for forensics, analysis and trouble shooting. The commissioning agents have laptops, software and investigative tools to achieve the commissioning tasks. Also since we are a department of HEI, we have access to other design expertise and tools. To follow are some of the stand alone tools the HEI Commissioning Group owns and uses: • Data Loggers • Fluke Thermometers • Shortridge Air Velocity Hood • Illuminance Meters • Volt/Amp Meters • Energy Calculator Tool • Energy Modeling Software ., , _~ m
