Retrofit Savings for Brazos County

This report presents the energy and dollar savings for the period May 2000 - April 2001 for 10 of the Brazos County facilities that have been retrofit. The electricity use saved was 555,170 kWh and the demand was 1062 kW, which is equivalent to a $31,743 dollars savings,$24,650 from electricity use and $7,093 from the electric demand. These savings represent a 60.8% of the audit-estimated savings and a 93.7% of the audit-estimated savings if just the positive one were taken in account. The savings have improved somewhat from the previous report that included the billing periods for January to August 1999. The savings for the earlier period were 48.0% of the audit-estimated savings that means compared with 60.8% for the current period. In general has been an improvement in the energy saving in most of the facilities. The cases where are observed negative savings are the Minimum Security Jail, where is known that the area was increased significantly, the Arena Hall, where the modeling can be normalized due to kind of use of this facility, and the Road and bridges Shop, which looks to be operated more time in this period

Energy Savings Report For Dallas County, July 2000 – June 2001

This report begins with a complete summary of the energy, demand and cost savings for each of the 12 sites being analyzed. This summary is followed by a two-page report for each site. The report concludes with an appendix that describes a comparison between analysis of the hourly data and of the monthly data for the Records Complex.This report presents the energy and dollar savings for the period July 2000 - June 2001 for 12 Dallas County facilities that have been retrofit by Enershop. The savings for this period total $745,046, which represent 73.2$261,517 and the electric usage savings are $483,529. The savings have improved somewhat from the previous report that included the billing periods for April - June 2000. The savings for the earlier period were 62.6% of the audit estimated savings compared with 73.2% for the current period

NOx, SOx and CO2 Emissions Reduction from Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) Measures at the Rent-A-Car Facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport

The energy savings were evaluated thru weather normalized inverse modeling. Baseline data, pre-CC®, and the post-CC® data were modeled as a function of the weather. The electricity savings were calculated by the difference of the baseline model and the measured post-CC® data of the facility. Similarly, these models were applied to weather of 1999 and the potential savings at that year were documented. The documented savings at RAC were then converted to NOx, CO2, and SO2 emissions reduction on a tons/year and tons/peak-day basis using TCEQ/ESL’s emissions reduction methodology and EPA’s eGRID emissions data base.The Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, Texas A&M University System was contracted to fulfill a Continuous Commissioning® (CC®)project on the Rent-a-Car facility (RAC) of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFWIA) in which energy savings are directly related to an emission reduction that can be credited. The purpose of this study is to estimate the creditable emissions reductions from energy efficiency CC® measures in the RAC of DFWIA.Dallas-Fort Worth International Airpor

Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook

This is the report and manual for the Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook. The purpose of this report is to document the Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook to be used by the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO); to track the historical savings data as of August 2002 and to project the future LoanSTAR program savings including measured retrofit savings, Continuous Commissioning (CC) savings, estimated retrofit savings, emission reductions, and state agency savings. This report presents the description of the Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook. In addition, examples of how to use it are also presented. In Section 2, an overview of the LoanSTAR Savings Calculation Workbook is presented. Next, a description of each worksheet is presented. Section 3 discusses the procedures for using the worksheets to update savings and adding new loan sites savings. An example of how to use the spreadsheet is given and some sample reports are provided in the attachment.This is the report and manual for the Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook. The purpose of this report is to document the Texas LoanSTAR Program Savings Calculation Workbook to be used by the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO). The workbook may be used to track the historical energy and dollar savings as of August 2002, and to project the future LoanSTAR program savings including: measured retrofit savings, Continuous Commissioning (CC) savings, estimated retrofit savings, emission reductions, and state agencies savings. In addition, an example of how to use this worksheet also is presented. The workbook includes twelve worksheets that have been developed to preserve the program savings data from 1990 to August 2002, and to forecast the LoanSTAR program savings beginning on September 2002. The workbook comprises: a) three output worksheets, b) four information worksheets, and c) five supporting worksheets. Three graphs are provided in the workbook: cumulative savings, measured retrofit savings and yearly savings graphs. All the spreadsheets and graphs are updated automatically through built-in programs. This workbook was developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory of Texas A&M University Systems in MS Excel

Impact of the Implementation of the 2000/2001 IECC on Residential Energy Use in Texas: Preliminary Verification of Residential Energy Savings

The "a" file is the PowerPoint presentation given at this Hot and Humid Conference.Power failures can occur for a variety of reasons. The consequences of such outages range from mere inconveniences to damaged equipment, ruined goods, lost revenue, and diminished safety. In all buildings lighting is among the greatest safety requirements during a power outage. Depending on the type of facility, other systems and equipment may also be considered critical. Batteries may be used to provide power for emergency lighting as well as computers, telephone and intercom systems. However, they are not an option for powering large users such as HVAC systems and elevators. Backup generators are a viable solution in these cases. They can provide electricity as long as fuel is supplied and can run virtually any type equipment. This paper will discuss how some schools and other facilities are addressing building safety and functionality during power outages by using backup generators. Issues involving selecting, operating, and maintaining generators will be discussed. Also, several case studies will be presented
