Energy Legislation

• Federal- 10 CFR 436A (Federal Energy Mngmt)-
  Exec. Order 13423
• Delaware State- Title 29, Chapter 69 (Energy
  Star and life cycle costing)- Exec. Orders 31
  and 82

New Governor Jack Markell- Quotes

• - We ought to install photovoltaic solar panels
  and technologies on the roofs of state buildings,
  prisons and the like and generate electricity.
  - Offer energy efficiency tax incentives that
  reward investments in energy efficiency by
  consumers or businesses.such as efficient
  heating or air conditioning systems, windows or
  insulation, solar electrical and hot water
  heating, and geothermal heating and cooling.-
  We should explore the possibility of installing
  wind turbines on larger state parcels of land and
  prisons.- Our state must catch up and upgrade
  the state building codes, ensuring that Delaware
  architects and builders incorporate higher levels
  of energy efficiency into homes and commercial
  buildings.- Ensure that construction policies
  and requests for proposals for all public
  buildings incorporate energy efficiency and
  sustainable design.- Delaware state
  government should lead by example when it comes
  to renewable energy.

Code for Energy Conservation

• International Energy Conservation Code 2000 for
  residential
• IECC 2001 supplement for all other buildings
• - ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1- 1999
• Delaware Energy Office- certification of
  compliance with 90.1 or COMcheck-EZ

7
Purchase of Energy Star Products

• Energy Star products required to be used in all
  State procurement
• - unless not available competitively
• - not available in reasonable time
• - product doesnt meet performance
• Public Works- A/E must include Energy Star in
  specifications
• Can have alternate for non-Energy Star to perform
  lifecycle costing
• Required use of Energy Star equipment unless
  agency can demonstrate in writing to OMB why it
  cant meet requirement

8
Life Cycle Costing (Title 29, Chapter 69 DE State
Code)

• Public works- Project Architect or Engineer
  required to use lifecycle cost analysis
• - equipment, systems, material, design
• Reduced operating, maintenance, or energy costs
  over the useful life
• Specifications for equipment with the lowest
  total cost of ownership

9
Life Cycle Cost Analysis

• Considers all facility costs from owning,
  operating, maintaining and disposal
• Used to determine most cost-effective alternative
• NOT the same as PAYBACK- payback looks at time
  to recoup initial investment
• Time value of money

10
Life Cycle Costing

• Study Period- usually life of the system
• - DE Capital Projects use 20 year bonds
• Discount future amount to present value
• - Initial costs (construction)
• - Recurring costs (maintenance, energy)
• - Dont worry about residual value
• When? Concept to design development (10 to 30
  design)

11
Life Cycle Cost elements equipment, systems,
materiel and design elements

• Building envelope (walls, roofs, insulation,
  windows, glazing)
• Mechanical systems and components (heating,
  ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing)
• Electrical equipment (lighting controls, motors,
  drives, transformers, power distribution)

12
Life Cycle Costing

• LCC is a tool to select systems to meet both the
  customers needs and save them money over the
  buildings lifetime
• Compare system components (higher grade
  equipment, drives, renewables) to save energy
• First cost vs. total cost of ownership

13
Life Cycle Costing- why?
Big Number!
14
LCC Example Amoco Bldg

• 14,225 SF, New Castle (1,150 SF Lab space)
• 20 year period, 3 energy cost inflation, maint.
  costs flat
• Compared 4 replacement options for an existing 10
  ton packaged heat pump new wing- Alt. 1
  Replacement in kind- Alt. 2 Dx cooling with gas
  heat- Alt. 3 Geothermal heat pump- Alt. 4 Dx
  cooling, gas heat w/ energy recovery
• Used Trane Trace 700 software
• Also studied boiler replacement and cooling
  system replacement for entire building

15
LCC Example Amoco Bldg

• East wing resultsAlt 2- 1.4 year simple
  paybackAlt 3- 42 year Alt 4-
  3.5 year
• Main building best option LCC dual condensing
  boilers and air-cooled chiller (5.6 year simple
  payback over replacement in kind)

16
Life Cycle Cost Software

• FEMP BLCC version 5.3, PC only, free
• Free excel spreadsheets
• Commercial- Trane Trace 700- McQuay System
  Analyzer- HAP (hourly analysis program)
  Carrier- ABB Fan Save and Pump Save
