5 UTILITY AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN Texas A&M University College Station, Texas Burns & McDonnell updated Texas A&M s utility and energy management master plan and assisted with compliance and reporting. The master plan extends efficiency beyond the utility infrastructure into building standards and aids in securing funding and approval for upgrades over the next 30 years of planned campus expansion. Recommendations including thermal energy storage and a heat pump chiller involve $170 million in utility capital projects with $33 million in life cycle savings. Burns & McDonnell secured a $10 million U.S. Department of Energy grant for the university. INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio This comprehensive infrastructure master plan prepares Ohio State to meet growing campus energy demands for the next 40 years. The plan includes load projections, energy production and distribution requirements, analysis of centralized versus localized plant assets, and a life cycle cost analysis. Recommendations include thermal energy storage, combined heat and power, and condensing economizers. In total, the plan could save the university more than $40 million throughout its term. COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY MASTER PLAN Purdue University West Lafayette, Ind. Purdue University sought to meet its efficient energy management goals by creating a comprehensive energy master plan. Burns & McDonnell developed a plan focused on the efficient production of electricity, chilled water and steam in the campus utility plants. Analysis of the chilled water and steam distribution system, as well as building electricity, domestic water, chilled water and steam consumption led to equipment modifications that provided immediate annual savings in excess of $1 million.

6 FEATURE PROJECT CRITICAL SERVICE CENTRAL PLANT Providing reliable power and protection from grid outages, the new Parkland Parkland Health & Hospital System central utility plant features 13,750 tons of cooling, 1,000 tons of heat pump chilling, Dallas 200,000 pounds per hour of steam and 17.5 MW of emergency power. The plant supports 2.5 million square feet of hospital and medical office buildings, and it can provide emergency electricity and thermal utilities for at least 36 hours during a grid outage known as operating in island mode. Reliability was a crucial design factor for the hospital, which serves 1,600 primary care patients daily, including 500 in the Emergency Department. It also houses the second-largest civilian burn unit in the country. When operating in island mode, an 850,000-gallon water storage tank can keep the hospital s cooling tower functional and fulfill demand for water in faucets, sterilization equipment and other systems. Energy analysis and detailed design The energy-efficient CUP contributes to potential LEED Silver certification for the campus, meeting Parkland s strategic sustainability goals. The plant was built to last for up to 100 years, matching the expected life span of the hospital. The project focused on sustainability, with an eye on water scarcity in the future. The heat pump chiller is expected to save 15 million gallons of water annually and pay for itself in four to six years. The system is also designed for flexibility, with room for a sixth chiller, seventh boiler and another generator to accommodate demand growth. There s also a spare equipment bay ready for future technology needs, and other systems are easily converted to new uses or designed for easy movement of equipment. A strong client connection was critical. The project was completed on schedule and within budget, and plans were adjusted throughout the timeline to support other initiatives. One example: Selected utility installations were expedited to enable work to progress on the new hospital. Their team moved seamlessly into design and developed top-notch documents for construction, said Maria Dierking, who served as Parkland s senior program manager for the hospital replacement program. Throughout the process, they worked closely with the entire hospital staff and design team and helped us to maximize the value of our installed systems versus the available budget. 6 Burns & McDonnell

11 CENTRAL CHILLING STATION #7 University of Texas Austin, Texas As the university expands into a new medical district requiring a new, expandable cooling and heating facility, Burns & McDonnell provided energy analysis to establish the concepts for plant design, including thermal energy storage and heat pump chillers. The plant will integrate with existing campus chilled water systems and will be the first hot water plant on the campus. The project features 15,000 tons of variable speed chillers, 1,200 tons of heat pump chillers, more than 5.6 million gallons of thermal energy storage and 113,000 MBH (thousands of BTUs per hour) of heating equipment. The plant puts the campus on the leading edge of reliable, energy-efficient facilities. CRITICAL SERVICE CENTRAL PLANT Parkland Health & Hospital System Dallas Burns & McDonnell performed an energy analysis and detailed design for a central utility plant (CUP) for Parkland s new hospital in Dallas. The plant features 13,750 tons of cooling, 1,000 tons of heat pump chilling, 200,000 pounds per hour of steam and 17.5 MW of emergency power to support 2.5 million square feet of hospital and medical office buildings. The CUP s energy efficiency will help Parkland obtain LEED Silver certification for the $1.2 billion campus and provide emergency electricity and thermal utilities for at least 36 hours in the event of a utility grid outage. AIRBUS POWERHOUSE Honeywell Mobile, Ala. The Airbus Powerhouse project provides a centralized source of heating and cooling for the new Airbus A320 assembly plant. It included more than 4,200 tons of chilled water capacity, 44,000 MBH of hot water capacity, and domestic water, compressed air and sanitary sewer services for the full complex. Burns & McDonnell provided design-build services on a fast-track schedule, with design completed in about two months, just 13 months after the signing of the initial contract. Burns & McDonnell also provided support for Federal Aviation Administration permitting and air permitting. The project is designed to achieve LEED Silver certification. OnSite Energy & Power 11

12 THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE Few on-site energy options deliver as powerful a combination of lower capital costs and lower energy costs as a thermal energy storage (TES) system. TES allows large cooling systems to generate cooling energy (chilled water or ice) for storage during offpeak electrical periods, when rates are lower and the system operates most efficiently. Stored cooling energy is then used during peak hours, when electrical demand is higher, saving money and wear on expensive equipment. With an installed cost lower than new chillers and associated equipment, it s hard to beat. A TES system can also reduce the risk of electric grid overload by helping to manage power demand through peak demand reduction and ramping up or down in response to grid load changes. When linked with a combined heat and power system, TES generates additional savings. Burns & McDonnell has the experience to help you find the right TES solution for your campus, which could lead to millions in saved operating expenses. 12 Burns & McDonnell 12 Burns McDonnell

13 UTILITY PLANT PRODUCTION UPGRADE Texas A&M University College Station, Texas A TES tank installation is improving the reliability and efficiency of mission-critical services at Texas A&M. The system provides the capacity to shift chilled water production to off-peak hours, allowing the university to reduce electricity consumption during peak demand periods and increasing system capacity and operational flexibility. Potential annual savings are $395,000. THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE Thermal Energy Corp. (TECO) Houston An 8.8 million-gallon TES tank at the Texas Medical Center provides 76,000 ton-hours of storage capacity, enough to defer running electric centrifugal chillers during expensive peak demand times. In August 2011, the tank saved TECO more than $500,000 in energy costs, while providing increased redundancy and reliability. It works in combination with TECO s combined heat and power system. The tallest TES tank worldwide at construction, it was named Steel Tank of the Year by the Steel Tank Institute and was honored with the ASHRAE Technology Award. THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Fort Worth, Texas Thermal energy storage at this corporate headquarters and home of the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-35 Lightning II increases system capacity, efficiency and flexibility. The chilled water system responds directly to the dynamic nature of manufacturing loads. Pumps quickly modulate to meet large load swings while chillers remain at their most efficient setting. OnSite Energy & Power 13

14 FEATURE PROJECT Architecture, engineering, procurement and construction The 8.8 million-gallon TES tank saved TECO more than $500,000 in energy costs in a single month, all while providing increased reliability and redundancy. A heat recovery steam generator recovers waste heat via conductive heat transfer to produce steam. CENTRAL PLANT MASTER PLAN Shortly after it was commissioned and placed into service in 2010, the 48-MW Thermal Energy Corp. (TECO) combined heat and power (CHP) system supplying the Texas Medical Center campus Houston with steam and chilled water faced one of the hottest August days on record. TECO didn t pull a single watt of electricity from the grid that day. The CHP system didn t miss a beat. Combined with 32,000 tons of new chiller capacity and a thermal energy storage (TES) tank, the largest district energy cooling system in the U.S. is a model of sustainability, operating at 80 percent efficiency. Environmental emissions also were cut by an estimated 302,000 tons in the system s first year of operation, equivalent to taking 52,000 cars off the road. The district energy system has also been part of an initiative to bolster TECO s service reliability in the face of natural disasters like the hurricanes that struck in 2005 and The required growth of this CUP didn t come with the ability to double the size of the site. Bordered by a waterway, busy roadways and an established medical campus, the site presented a challenging, constrained space to accommodate major construction, staging areas, major equipment lifts and more than 400 subcontractor personnel. Design-build project delivery enabled the tight coordination necessary to accomplish the task. The only way TECO could do this project is to have design (and) construction under one roof. We recognized that we needed to identify a firm that could come in and do the design, that could do construction administration, could do the procurement in between, and Burns & McDonnell brought that expertise in all of those (areas). There s no question that there s an efficiency in everything from time, dollars, effort when you have one point of contact, says Steve Swinson, CEO and president of TECO. The efficiencies in operation translate into financial advantages for TECO and its customers. The master plan implementation is expected to save more than $200 million over its first 15 years in operation. TECO was able to reduce its customer rates by 2 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively, in the first two years after the plant came online. 14 Burns & McDonnell

16 COMBINED HEAT AND POWER Combined heat and power (CHP) can costeffectively provide 100 percent of a facility s day-to-day electric and thermal energy needs, simultaneously satisfying all or a portion of backup generation requirements. That s why the Department of Energy (DOE) considers it one of the most promising options in the U.S. energy portfolio: lower greenhouse gas emissions, high energy efficiency, potential for nationwide implementation, and ability to relieve the burden on the electrical grid. Burns & McDonnell is recognized by the DOE as an industry leader, and our team has experience designing, building, permitting and interconnecting CHP plants as large as 200 MW and as small as 500 kw for universities, hospitals, large office buildings, data centers, corporate and government campuses, and international airports. We can develop financial and economic cost models, prepare grant applications and arrange utility partnerships to help offset the costs of your system. 16 Burns & McDonnell 16 Burns McDonnell

17 HOSPITAL CAMPUS CHP ENERGY CENTER Gainesville Regional Utilities Gainesville, Fla. The GRU South Energy Center on the University of Florida campus provides electrical power, chilled water, steam and medical gasses for the Shands Cancer Center. The workhorse of this $45 million facility is a 4.3-MW, natural gas-fired combustion turbine with low emissions. The ultra-high-efficiency generator can run 24/7 and normally operates in parallel with one of two utility feeds from separate substations. The LEED Gold-certified energy center can generate all of the hospital s and its own power needs on site. The plant, designed to keep the hospital operational even in the midst of a hurricane-driven grid outage, produces 4,200 tons of cooling and 30,000 pounds per hour of steam. 48-MW CHP PLANT AT TEXAS MEDICAL CENTER Thermal Energy Corp. (TECO) Houston This complete design-build project provided an efficient, natural gas-fired CHP system that generates 48 MW of power and 330,000 pounds of steam per hour. It can operate as a base load system to serve 100 percent of the plant s peak electrical load and TECO s customers peak process and space-heating loads. Exceeding 80 percent efficiency, the CHP system saves an estimated 0.75 trillion Btu annually over separate electrical and steam generation and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 300,000 tons per year. It also enables TECO to provide uninterrupted energy services in the event of a grid outage. CHP ADDITION Harvard University Cambridge, Mass. Burns & McDonnell conducted a Level II CHP study that investigated potential alternatives for expansion of CHP capabilities at Harvard s historic Blackstone. The initial screening-level phase analyzed six options at Blackstone and six options for a new standalone CHP facility sited elsewhere on campus. The study examined several options and developed detailed performance characteristics for each, which were then subjected to a dispatch model to develop a plan for the most effective use of both existing assets and proposed additions. The final design of an 8-MW CHP system is underway. OnSite Energy & Power 17

18 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Central utility plants face a challenging regulatory landscape. At the forefront for many is the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters commonly known as the Industrial Boiler MACT Rule and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Boiler MACT requires compliance by 2015, and facilities may have to concurrently demonstrate compliance with NAAQS. The situation is unique for every facility. Planning now is critical. Compliance planning (testing and preliminary studies and permitting) can take six to 12 months, and air pollution control retrofits or new boiler installations can take 12 to 30 months. Burns & McDonnell can help you determine your facility s compliance status and select appropriate measures to move you forward with a comprehensive solution. 18 Burns & McDonnell 18 Burns McDonnell

19 BOILER MACT COMPLIANCE Purdue University West Lafayette, Ind. To identify air pollution control modifications to comply with Boiler MACT and other regulations, Purdue hired Burns & McDonnell to conduct a study and provide detailed design for recommended changes to its Wade Utility Plant. The firm evaluated alternatives that allowed continued operation and assessed the ability of the existing plant auxiliary systems to support retrofits. Detailed design included new fabric filter and dry scrubber systems, which were retrofitted to the existing boiler. BOILER MACT COMPLIANCE Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pa. To comply with the Boiler MACT rule, Penn State decided to eliminate coal as a fuel in its system, converting the boilers to fire gas with oil as a backup. To help analyze the options and design the selected solution, the university hired Burns & McDonnell to complete a boiler conversion study and a new steam generation study, as well as provide cost estimates and schedules for compliance. When the selection is made, Burns & McDonnell will provide detailed design and installation services. BOILER REPLACEMENT Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Burns & McDonnell replaced three coal-fired stoker boilers with three new natural gas/oil-fired package boilers and made modifications to the remaining circulating fluidized bed boilers for compliance with the Boiler MACT rule. Services included environmental permitting, substation upgrades, demolition and remediation, prepurchase packages, and a building addition. The boiler replacement includes a new oil storage and distribution system, which allows Iowa State to continue operations during a gas curtailment. The new boilers interface with the existing balance-of-plant utilities to minimize construction cost and optimize the schedule. OnSite Energy & Power 19

20 ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSTATIONS As a recognized leader in the transmission and distribution industry, Burns & McDonnell has broad experience engineering a wide variety of projects. Our analysis and design experience ranges from small 4.16-kV projects to multimillion-dollar 500-kV efforts. We have designed customerowned substations for both private- and public-sector clients, including transmission interconnection configurations for CHP systems and full analysis and design of relay equipment. In some cases, installing a customer-owned substation can pay for itself in less than five years. Such a facility provides improved reliability and avoids outages more common with utility distribution systems. In addition, our detailed analysis and review of a campus electric distribution system will show opportunities to harden your system and provide the dependable and consistent power required for today s complex and demanding facilities. 20 Burns & McDonnell 20 Burns McDonnell

21 HIGH-VOLTAGE UTILITY ENGINEERING Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) Tarrant County, Texas This project features six large pump stations with loads from 20 to 46 MVA along a 150-mile pipeline route. Burns & McDonnell assisted TRWD in determining if the local utility or water district should construct and own the transmission line extension and substation that would serve each pump station. After consulting multiple utilities and electric cooperatives to determine interconnection requirements and delivery tariffs and after performing life cycle cost analyses for each option, Burns & McDonnell recommended TRWD own the equipment and employ a standardized substation design. SUBSTATION AND DISTRIBUTION UPGRADES Clemson University Clemson, S.C. The medium-voltage electrical distribution system on the Clemson campus requires a significant upgrade to continue safe and reliable operation. Substation and distribution switchgear equipment are reaching the end of their useful lives, and the university plans to migrate away from the 5-kV system in favor of a more reliable and efficient 15-kV system. Burns & McDonnell is developing a detailed upgrade and replacement plan and preparing associated design and construction documents to modernize the electrical distribution system. SUBSTATION AND DISTRIBUTION REPLACEMENT Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Fort Worth, Texas The Air Force Plant 4 substation equipment and 5-kV distribution feeder cables are nearing the end of their useful life. Burns & McDonnell estimated the life cycle cost for multiple replacement and upgrade options. Transmission service with a phased design and installation proved the most economic and reliable option, with Lockheed constructing a new substation adjacent to the existing one. The radial 5-kV distribution system will be replaced with a looped system to improve reliability and maintainability. Multiple radial feeders will be combined and connected to new feeder loops served from new substation switchgear. OnSite Energy & Power 21

22 FEATURE PROJECT Design-build delivery Dual-fuel boilers deliver flexibility and reliability in a hurricaneprone region. The plant provides up to 900 kw of power and 210,000 pounds per hour of steam at peak capacity. BIOMEDICAL DISTRICT STEAM PLANT The Downtown New Orleans district energy system provides steam and chilled water Enwave USA services to numerous customers, including the Louisiana State University (LSU) Medical New Orleans Center. Burns & McDonnell is the designbuilder for the new Biomedical District Energy Plant, which will replace an existing boiler plant providing critical services to the Level I trauma center at LSU. As the sole source of steam to critical and noncritical facilities, the plant must deliver reliability and availability in the face of potential hurricane wind loads, as well as house critical equipment above the flood plain-plus margin. The medical center is required to maintain operations for up to seven days in the event of a disruption in electrical, natural gas or water utility service in the district. Both nonpotable water and fuel oil will be stored on-site to support the critical steam load of 50,000 pounds per hour for that seven-day period. The urban area and constrained available footprint create construction and design challenges, requiring careful scheduling and equipment staging. 22 Burns & McDonnell

24 THERMAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS The power quality and thermal distribution systems on your campus are critical. They also present specialized needs. Burns & McDonnell has extensive experience with campus-level system analysis and design, whether the concern is a deteriorated tunnel, failed pipe supports or leaking expansion joints. We develop complex steam, hot water and chilled water distribution models calibrated to existing conditions and referencing GPS information and campus maps. Once calibrated, the models simulate growth, determine optimal routes and sizing, and provide extensions to utility distribution systems that enable flexibility and growth. Any proposed alternatives and system changes factor in construction phasing and sequencing options to minimize short- and long-term interruption of utilities. Those phasing and sequencing requirements are defined and incorporated in all construction documents to keep your campus operating and focused on education. 24 Burns & McDonnell 24 Burns McDonnell

25 THERMAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM EXPANSION Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minn. The Mayo Clinic expects to double in size over the next 30 years, growing along with the aging U.S. population. The existing infrastructure must grow as well. Burns & McDonnell analyzed multiple chilled water and steam distribution solutions and verified suitable sites for new production. Recommendations from the analysis included improvements to existing system efficiencies and a new utility/pedestrian subway system that can both feed utilities to new facilities and provide comfortable campus access for patients, visitors and medical staff. STEAM SYSTEM REHABILITATION Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio Upgrades to about 1,200 feet of 1970s-era walkable distribution tunnels will increase the well-lit, maintainable space, improving conditions for university staff and boosting overall performance. Renovations and revitalizations will include: new high pressure steam and stainless steel condensate piping; structural repairs to existing tunnel piping support structures; buried, high-density polyethylene natural gas piping; tunnel ventilation shafts; and upgrades to the lighting and power systems. THERMAL DISTRIBUTION MODELING AND DESIGN Auburn University Auburn, Ala. A planned campus expansion study laid the groundwork for expansion of the chilled water distribution system and the conversion of the steam system to a distributed hot water system. Burns & McDonnell developed a utility master plan and recommended incorporation of distributed heating and cooling infrastructure that is reliable and economical. The systems would also be flexible and expandable to meet future growth in demand. Comprehensive flow analysis and system modeling software were used to analyze the hot and chilled water piping distribution system. OnSite Energy & Power 25
