3 Discussion Topics What is Benchmarking Identifying opportunities Steps Energy consumption patterns and savings opportunities Large offices HVAC Lighting Small retail Hospitals Employee personal appliances Office equipment VFD motor control Hotels / Motels Air conditioners/heat pumps Food Stores Refrigeration Restaurants Exhaust hood control Cooking 3

4 Benchmarking is a structured process that supports your energy management initiatives and can lead to dramatic savings Benchmarking is Benchmarking defined A disciplined approach for comparing the performance of processes, methods, procedures, products or services against best-in-class criteria A positive process providing objective performance measurement for goal setting and progress monitoring Any type of building can benefit from energy benchmarking Benchmarking energy use helped the Marriott hotel chain realize $4.5 million in annual savings* 4 *Source: Energy Star Building Manual (

5 Successful energy management plans use benchmarking techniques to identify savings opportunities An energy management plan provides a written strategy Follow the eight-step process A proven strategy for energy management developed by the EPA Assists your organization in improving its energy and financial performance Distinguishes your organization as an environmental leader Action plans depend on benchmarking to prioritize improvement opportunities Compare the energy performance of your facility to similar operations and buildings to identify improvement opportunities Strategic Planning * Source: EPA Businesses are reducing their energy use by 30 percent or more through effective energy management practices * 5

6 Benchmarking often gives a new perspective on your energy consumption patterns Opportunities Comparing energy consumption to that of similar businesses and facilities is the first step towards reducing waste Highlights savings opportunities that may have gone unnoticed Benchmarking allows businesses to Establish reference points to measure performance Prioritize areas and facilities with the most opportunity for improvement Identify best practices to replicate Develop a context for future actions and decisions Set future targets 6

7 Following the steps below will put your company on the right track Benchmarking steps 1. Identify comparative source and collect data 2. Determine performance gap 3. Communicate findings and gain acceptance 4. Establish functional goals 5. Develop action plans 6. Implement plans and monitor progress 7

8 Benchmarking data is available and accessible for most business and industry types Types Past performance Industry averages Available benchmark data Best-in-class businesses and buildings Best practices Sources ENERGY STAR Offers an online Portfolio Manager tool to benchmark by building and by district Energy consulting organizations Sometimes maintain databases to benchmark against similar institutions 8

9 An overview of businesses and building types will demonstrate distinct usage patterns based on unique business requirements Offices Retail outlets Hospitals Hotels Food stores Restaurants Sample facilities 9

10 10 Offices

11 How does your office s energy consumption compare to the that of an average office? Average office consumption patterns Average large office annual electricity intensity is kwh/ft 2 /yr Cooling/ventilation and lighting accounts for approximately 75 percent of consumption Cooling/Ventilation electricity intensity is about 7.36 kwh/ft 2 /yr How to calculate your usage for comparison 1,500,000 kwh = kwh/ft 2 /yr 80,000 ft 2 /yr kwh/ft 2 /yr > kwh/ft 2 /yr Possible improvement opportunities 11

12 Remember to evaluate your office s weekend usage trends to identify savings opportunities Office usage trends While weekend energy consumption is half that of weekday in most offices, weekend usage is still significant and should be monitored 12

13 Use rule-of-thumb to estimate HVAC savings from temperature set-back in the summer HVAC temperature set-forward Save 1 percent space cooling consumption per F setback per 8 hours Example: Night setback from 74 F to 78 F for 12 hours Source: ENERGY STAR % Savings = (78 F - 74 F) x 12/8 hours x 1%/ F hour = 6% Energy Savings = 6% x 750,000 kwh x 80% = 36,000 kwh per year = $0.10/kWh * Source: EPA 13

14 HVAC costs, typically the largest portion of your bill, can be estimated by using cooling load hours Estimating HVAC monthly billing Establish lowest cooling load hour month electrical consumption as a baseline to estimate the HVAC portion of your bill (Appendix A) Cooling Load Hours 14 Most other end uses such as lighting and office equipment are fairly constant over the year Almost all of the month-to-month increase in energy consumption is due to HVAC As an alternative, use nameplate capacity, efficiency, and weather data to estimate HVAC energy consumption (Appendix B) Use Full Load Value efficiency (kw/ton) Total annual cooling load hours (CLH) shown in chart * Source: EPA

15 When evaluating your expenses, remember that operating expenses will cost more over time than the equipment itself or maintenance Evaluating the impact of your energy efficiency cost is key to understanding your total cost HVAC energy costs are a substantial portion of the total cost of ownership of the HVAC equipment, in almost every case For example, the total cost of ownership share of energy costs varies from 20 to 65 percent depending upon chiller location, size and cooling type Example of HVAC equipment to consider Chillers Energy share of ownership cost 15

16 If your HVAC system uses a chiller, research indicates that water-cooled systems offer the greatest savings Energy-efficient chiller options Water-cooled centrifugal chiller versus air-cooled screw chiller (20-year life) are options to consider Cost Category Miami 100-ton 500-ton Air Water Air Water Centrifugal chiller Turbine compressor Large tonnage Rotary screw chiller Mating-helical screws Lower first cost Net Present Value (NPV) of total costs of ownership Initial 43% 68% 24% 42% Energy 50% 20% 65% 45% Maintenance 7% 12% 11% 13% Minneapolis Initial 72% 78% 45% 60% Energy 16% 10% 35% 20% Maintenance 12% 12% 20% 20% Source: Total Cost of Ownership For Air-Cooled and Water-Cooled Chiller Systems, Ramez Naguib 16

17 If a new chiller is recommended based on your benchmark findings, FPL can help pay for your new unit FPL chiller incentive BENEFITS Lower ongoing operation and maintenance costs Increased energy savings year-after-year Long-term reliability INCENTIVE Based on chiller type, capacity, and efficiency Applies to qualifying highefficiency models with an ARI-certified rating Incentive amounts and qualifying conditions vary, depending on the type and size of the equipment replaced or installed 17

18 Lighting is typically the next focus area after HVAC since it is the second largest source of energy consumption 18 Determining lighting energy saving opportunities Average large office lighting electricity intensity is 4.37 kwh/ft 2 /yr A walk-through lighting inventory can be used to estimate lighting intensity A 4-step procedure is used to estimate actual lighting intensity 1. Identify # lamps/lamp type 2. Use wattage table 3. Estimate annual burn time 4. Measure floor area Energy consumption = Power (kw) x Time (hrs) (See Appendix C) F34T12 Wattage # Lamps 4 ft 8 ft F32T8 Wattage # Lamps 4 ft 8 ft * Source: EPA

19 Simple, inexpensive lamp and ballast upgrades can generate significant savings immediately and over time Replace Examples of effective lighting upgrades Lighting Savings Opportunities With Realize Estimated Annual Savings of Incandescent New halogen 30% Incandescent CFL, R-CFL, LED 50% to 75% Incandescent Spot PAR bulbs Ceramic Metal Halide PAR lamps 30% to 50% T12 T8 20% to 30% Full-wattage F32T8 lamps Reduced wattage 23W T8 lamps 28% Standard 54W T5HO bulbs Reduced wattage T5HO lamps 49W lamps; 51W lamps Standard Electronic Ballasts NEMA Premium Ballasts 5% to 7% 19

20 Upgrading to a more efficient system will lower operating costs and result in better quality lighting FPL Lighting incentive BENEFITS Reduced lighting costs every month (typically 28 percent of a business energy consumption) Better quality lighting for less cost Lower maintenance costs INCENTIVE Rebates on efficient technologies such as CFL, T8, T5 or pulse-start HID lamps 20

21 Companies who upgrade their lighting systems typically also install lighting controls as proven ways to save money and add convenience Lighting controls Lighting occupancy sensors Turn off lights based on foot traffic Example: Meeting room with six 4-lamp F34T12 fixtures Savings = 6 x 144w x 3120 hour x 0.5 = 1350 kwh = $0.10/kWh Lighting bi-level switching Allows you to reduce light output in one step when full illumination is not required Dimmers Reduces light output for setting mood or for multimedia events Daylight sensors (Photocells) Dims or turns off lighting when free daylight is available 21

22 Another focus for best-in-class office operations is employee personal appliances that circumvent energy-efficiency efforts Personal appliances To limit expenses related to personal appliances, offices Require formal request for personal appliances Charge for privilege of using personal appliances Appliance Average Power (watts) Annual Operating Hours Annual Energy (kwh) Space Heater 1, Mini-fridge, 3ft Year-round 320 Microwave 1, Portable Fan Coffee Pot/Warmer Total 1360 Did you know that employee personal appliances can cost up to $135 annually per office? * Source: EPA 22

23 Office equipment with idle and sleep mode features are energy-saving replacements when it s time to upgrade Sample savings from energy-saving settings Device 2010 Tech Resources Inc. Typical Operating Power (Watts) Typical Idle Power (Watts) Typical Sleep Power (Watts) 8 Hours/Day, 5 Days/Week, Sleep Mode* Annual Energy Cost 24 Hours/Day, 7 Days/Week, Sleep Mode** 24 Hours/Day, 7 Days/Week, No Sleep Mode** Desktop Computer $12 $16 $56 CRT Monitor (15") $7.70 $10 $37 LCD Monitor (17") $2.50 $3.90 $9.20 Laptop $4.60 $5.30 $15 Laser Printer $26 $29 $96 Fax Machine $12 $19 $69 Copier (small) $13 $26 $76 Copier (large) 1, $55 $82 $315 *Assumes $0.10/kWh, 2085 operating hours per year, 20% full power, 60% overall idle mode, 20% sleep mode for computers and monitors, 50% idle mode and 45% sleep mode for printers, faxes, and copiers. Equipment is turned off for 6675 hours. **Assumes $0.10/kWh, 8760 operating hours per year, same 8-hour/5-day mode, and either sleep or idle for non-work hours (work day nights and weekends). Equipment is never turned off. Sources: Manufacturers' specifications, Energy Star (DOE), and Office Equipment Energy Savings Calculator (LBL) 23

26 26 Retail Outlets

27 Like offices, HVAC and lighting offer the best savings opportunities to retailers Average small retail annual electricity intensity is kwh/ft 2 /yr Retail consumption patterns Similar to office energy use High lighting electricity intensity at 6.90 kwh/ft 2 /yr 27

28 However, retail energy consumption is much more peaked than for offices Retail usage trends Unlike offices, retailer weekend energy usage is similar to that of weekdays. Most surges occur during peak hours. 28

29 29 Hospitals

30 Hospital equipment running 24/7 leads to consistently high energy usage Average hospital annual electricity intensity is kwh/ft 2 /yr Hospital consumption patterns Electricity intensity is more than twice that of offices and retail HVAC alone is 60 percent of total Highest motors electricity intensity at 3.42 kwh/ft 2 /yr 30

31 Like retailers, hospital energy consumption is not much different on weekends as compared to weekdays Hospital usage trends End-use energy consumption is relatively flat. 31

32 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motors get rid of hidden sources of high consumption in hospitals and many other facilities Variable frequency drives VFD motors are widely used Ventilation systems for large buildings Water pumps Elevators Conveyors Machine tool drives VFD motors save energy by allowing the volume of air or water moved to match the system demand 32

33 Best VFD applications require speed reduction (less than or equal to 85 percent) for a majority of the time VFD motors Best applications are variable torque applications Compressors Pumps Centrifugal Chilled water Condenser water Building supply Chemical dosing Source: Emerson Industrial Automation Blowers Fans * Source: EPA 33
