Energy Basics
– Demand versus Energy
Kilowatt (kW) is a measure of
demand—similar to the
speedometer of your car that
records the rate at which miles are
traveled
• A bigger engine is required to
travel at a faster rate
• Peak power demand is usually
measured as an average
over a 15-minute period
» Spikes and surges from
motor startup and other
short-term anomalies have
little influence on peak
demand

Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a measure
of energy/consumption—similar to
the odometer on your car which
measures miles traveled

Energy Basics
– Demand versus Energy

Energy Cost = Energy Consumption x Unit Cost =
kWh x $/kWh
• A 113-Watt four-lamp light fixture costs about $66 annually when
operating 16 hr/day (113 W x 5,840 hr x $0.10/kWh ÷ 1,000 W/kW)

Motor power (kW) = Horsepower (HP) x 0.746/efficiency

Pay the price for improved energy efficiency!
• The operating cost over the lifetime of a motor or light fixture can far
exceed the original purchase price
© 2000 PACIFICORP | PAGE 6
• A 10 HP motor = 10 HP x 0.746/0.90 = 8.3 kW
• A 10 HP motor costs about $4,850 annually (8.3 kW x 5,840 hr x
$0.10/kWh) when operating 16 hr/day

HVAC
– Temperature Setback/Setforward


Save 3% per °F per 24 hr
72°F  68°F ( 4°F) for 12 hr saves 6%
– Obtain Proper Humidity Control

In the Summer, decrease relative humidity (RH) to feel cool.
Operation at 78°F / 40% RH provides the same level of occupant
comfort as 74°F / 50% RH does.
• 74°F  78°F setforward for 24 hr saves 10% to 12%
• Remove moisture with desiccant or enthalpy/heat wheel
• Relative humidity >70% with temperature >70°F can encourage mold growth!

In the Winter, opposite applies–raise RH to feel warm.
• Add moisture with evaporative humidifier
• Ultrasonic humidifiers require filtered water


HVAC
– Narrow Your Chiller Water Temperature Set Points

Typical conditions are chilled water temperature of 42°F and
condensing water temperature of 80°F to 85°F.
• 2% savings per °F that chilled water temperature is raised
• 5°F to 10°F increase is possible; more may cause damage and reduce
cooling capacity (ton rating)
Efficiency benefits from lowering condensing water temperature
are offset by increased fan and pump operation, along with reduced
cooling capacity.
• Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and oversizing the cooling tower
can help
• The larger the system, the greater the net energy savings

Lighting
Lighting
– Lumens-- A measurement of the perceived power of light.




60-watt incandescent ~ 850 lumens (100 CRI) ~ 14 lpw efficacy
32-watt T8 fluorescent ~ 2,800 lumens (83 CRI) ~ 88 lpw
400-watt metal halide ~ 24,000 lumens (65 CRI) ~ 60 lpw
400-watt high-pressure sodium ~ 45,000 lumens (22 CRI) ~ 112 lpw
– Color Rendering Index (CRI)-- A measurement of a light source's ability to
render colors the same as sunlight does.
CRI describes to what degree the light spectrum source is “filled out”

– Also, T5 lamps are more efficient than T8s. The T5s are
smaller and shorter so are not interchangeable with T8s


T5s have lower mercury content than T8s
T5 lumen maintenance is better at higher ambient temperatures but
worse in cold

Four-lamp T12 versus T8 Fixtures
Lighting
– Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL)

You get the same or more light output (lumens) with a 75%
energy reduction and over six times the rated life!

Energy savings far outweigh the difference in lamp price

Use reflector flood CFLs in recessed-can lights
Issue of mercury content can be addressed


Probe start MH with low lumen maintenance (<65%) is the best target for
replacement
 The lumen maintenance of metal halides can decrease to 45% during their
lifetime, whereas fluorescents maintain 90% to 95% in optimal conditions

Compare 320 W probe start MH with 20,000 EOL lumens and six F32T8 with 18,000
EOL lumens at 220 system watts

Lumen output of fluorescents declines with heat/cold

Lighting Case Study
– Gear Jammer Travel Plaza


24 hour / 7 day per week travel stop
Upgraded from T12 to T8 fluorescent
lighting in the kitchen, restaurant and
store areas
Eliminated fixtures and replaced some
incandescent lights with CFLs
– Annual energy savings of $5,000 per year plus Pacific
Power incentives of $5000 mean a two-year payback
– Gear Jammer president Chuck Hinckley, customers and
employees have noted the improved light quality

– Occupancy Sensors




Ultrasonic has wider range than infrared
but is prone to false positives
Can shorten life of fluorescents with
instant start ballast
$30 to $150 cost
2 year payback is normal


Skylights/lightpipes, clerestory windows, and roof monitors
Energy savings can range from about $0.50/ft2 to $0.75/ft2, depending
on the building type, location, office area plan, and local cost of
energy

Motors
– Repair or Replace Motors



Replace motors <40 HP
Replace if cost of rewind is >65% of new motor
Replace motors last rewound before 1980
• See the Motor Calculator in the Business Solutions Toolkit




Best for variable torque loads often found in variable flow
applications (pumps and fans) and greater than 2,000 hours
operation
Horsepower varies as the cube of speed/flow
Cut speed/flow by 50% and you cut energy consumption by nearly
90%! (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125)
Converts 60 Hz to 120-400 Hz in pulse width modulation

Compressed Air
– Only use compressed air when it is absolutely necessary!
– Examples of potentially inappropriate uses of compressed air:






Open blowing
Sparging
Aspirating
Atomizing
Padding
Dilute-phase transport
Dense-phase transport
Vacuum generation
Personnel cooling
Open
hand-held blowguns or lances
Diaphragm pumps
Cabinet cooling
Vacuum venturis
– If possible, switch to motors, mechanical actuators, and other
means to accomplish the same function
© 2000 PACIFICORP | PAGE 26

Compressed Air
– Leaks often account for 20-30% of compressor
output

A 1/32" leak in a 90 psi compressed air system would cost
approximately $185 annually

For every 1 pound per square inch (1 psi) increase in
discharge pressure, energy consumption will increase by
approximately 0.8% to 1% for a system in the 100 psig range with
30% to 50% unregulated usage*

Reducing system pressure by 10 psi saves 8% to 10%
*Except for centrifugal compressors
© 2000 PACIFICORP | PAGE 27
– Produce only the pressure you really need
Compressed Air
– Compressors operate at highest efficiency at full load
or off


Optimum controls results in big savings
For example, at 50% full-load flow, kW input varies from 51% to
83%

Below 85% loading, variable displacement units
become less efficient than variable speed, and are
very poor at loads below 50%
– Use ¾” diameter hose for >3 HP tools
or >50’ lengths
© 2000 PACIFICORP | PAGE 28
– Variable speed is best applied to compressors that operate
primarily as trim units, or as single units with loads below
75-80% demand


Vinyl strips overlapped by at least 50% can reduce walk-in refrigerator
cold air loss by up to 95%


Consider economizer refrigerator cooling for refrigerators kept at 38°F or
higher
• Best for cold climates and may require HEPA filter

heaters only when they are needed
– Use permanent case doors or overnight case
covers to save up to 70% on refrigeration
– New vinyl strips overlapped by at least 50%
can reduce cold air loss by up to 95% in
walk-in freezers
Best when entrance/exit rate is no more than 5-6
times per hour to avoid ice buildup
– Replace fluorescent lighting with LED or
fiber optic lighting

Decreases heat load

Minimizes maintenance
Works well with nighttime occupancy sensors


Food Retailers
– Use Air Doors/Curtains

A door 8 ft wide and 8 ft high with an indoor
temperature of 70°F, an outdoor temperature of 20°F,
and zero wind velocity, loses 200,000 Btu/h at a cost
of roughly $2.50 per hour
Any wind at all triples the loss!
 Air door recovers 75% of heat loss

2-3 year payback possible
($2,600 cap. + $100 op.)

Exhaust fans (negative pressure) and wind tunnel
effect are problems
