Commissioning HVAC Performance Testing Energy Audits Project Management

Retro-Commissioning Facility Management Consulting Energy Procurement

December 22, 2010 Mr. Cedric Minter, Facilities Supervisor Township of Willingboro 1 Salem Road Willingboro, New Jersey 08046 Re: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR TOWNSHIP OF WILLINGBORO STATE OF NEW JERSEY LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENERGY AUDIT Dear Mr. Minter: Dome-Tech was retained by the Township of Willingboro, as a pre-qualified participant in the Local Government Energy Audit Program, to perform an energy audit. The objective of the energy audit was to evaluate the borough’s energy consumption, establish baselines for energy efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce the amount of energy used and/or its cost. The scope of the audit is standardized under the Program, and consisted of the following:

Benchmarking historic energy consumption utilizing EPA Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager

Characterizing building use, occupancy, size, and construction

Providing a detailed equipment list including estimated service life and efficiency

Identifying and quantifying energy conservation measures (ECMs)

Evaluating the economic viability of various renewable/distributed energy technologies

Performing a utility tariff analysis and assessing savings potential from energy procurement strategies

Providing the method of analyses Based upon revised data received for the period September 2009 – August 2010, the Township had an annual expenditure of:

Electricity: 1,621,203 kWh at a total cost of $264,378.21

Natural Gas: 122,792 therms at a total cost of $134,046.10 The following eight (8) buildings were evaluated:

Willingboro Municipal Building at 1 Salem Road, Willingboro, NJ – 31,130 SF

Emergency Squad/ Fire Station #161 at 398 Charleston Road, Willingboro, NJ – 7,560 SF

Fire Station #162 at 201 Sunset Road, Willingboro, NJ – 7,500 SF

Fire Station #163 at 603 Beverly Rancocas Road, Willingboro, NJ – 8,344 SF

Kennedy Center at 429 John F. Kennedy Way, Willingboro, NJ – 189,950 SF

Willingboro Public Library at 200 Willingboro Way, Willingboro, NJ – 45,000 SF

Public Works Garage #1 at 25 Industrial Drive, Willingboro, NJ – 6,004 SF

Public Works Garage #2 at 25 Industrial Drive, Willingboro, NJ – 5,490 SF Please refer to Section 2 of this report for a detailed list of identified Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), along with a summary of their preliminary economics (estimated project cost, estimated annual energy savings, applicable rebate(s), etc.) In this report, all identified ECMs are ranked and presented

Page 3

“Building Performance - Delivered”

according to their simple payback; however, please note that the master ECM table can also be sorted by building, by measure type, etc. If all identified ECMs were to be implemented, they would provide the following estimated benefits to Township of Willingboro:

Total annual electrical savings: 790,775 kilowatt-hours; 48%

Total annual natural gas savings: 42,355 therms of natural gas usage; 34%

Total annual cost savings: $167,715; 42%

Total annual CO2 emissions reduction: 509 tons

Total net estimated implementation cost: $722,425

Total average simple payback: 4.3 years The projects that are recommended for implementation (at all facilities) include: Upgrading the Building Management System (BMS), upgrading the lighting, installing vending machine power management devices, and implementing energy awareness programs. The Township’s data was entered into the US EPA ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager database program. Buildings with scores of 75 or higher may qualify for the ENERGY STAR Building Label. The buildings were not eligible for an Energy Star score. The average Source EUI was provided as an alternate to the Energy Star score. In order to receive an Energy Star rating, more than 50% of your building must be defined by one of the following space types: Bank/Financial Institution, Courthouse, Hospital (Acute Care and Children's), Hotel, K-12 School, Medical Office, Office, Residence Hall/Dormitory, Retail Store, Supermarket, Warehouse (Refrigerated and Non-refrigerated), Wastewater Treatment Plant, or Data Center. Please see the report for individual facility information. Distributed/Renewable Energy Systems were reviewed with the following conclusions:

Dome-Tech considered three different types of wind turbine technologies that consisted of both building-mounted and traditional ground-mounted variety. Due to attractive payback and high potential for energy reduction, the 50 kilowatt ground mounted wind turbine project appears to be the most attractive option. Should Township of Willingboro decide to pursue a wind turbine project, Dome-Tech recommends commissioning a more detailed study.

A roof-mounted 2- 275 kw dc photovoltaic system that could provide 7 - 100% per building of the Township’s annual energy usage was assessed for implementation.

CHP (Combined Heat and Power), Fuel Cells, and Micro-turbines were also researched, but are not recommended due to the lack of thermal requirements in the summertime.

Regarding the procurement of utilities, Dome-Tech understands that the Township of Willingboro facilities are served by eight electric accounts behind PSE&G, under rate classes General Lighting and Power Service (GLP). Dome-Tech understands that Township of Willingboro has Annual and Monthly General Service Fixed Price accounts that are currently not contracted with a retail energy supplier. The Borough is also served by eight natural gas accounts behind PSE&G, Large Volume Gas (LVG) and General Service Gas (GSGH & GSL) rate classes. Now is an ideal time to seek longer-term rate stability through a fixed price arrangement through a retail supplier.

During the development of this audit, Dome-Tech was assisted by facility personnel, who were both knowledgeable and very helpful to our efforts. We would like to acknowledge and thank those individuals. Sincerely, Bang Duong Energy Engineer

Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction

Implementation of all identified ECMs will yield:

790,775 kilowatt-hours of annual avoided electric usage.

42,355 therms of annual avoided natural gas usage.

This equates to the following annual reductions:

509 tons of CO2;

-OR-

88 Cars removed from road;

-OR-

139 Acres of trees planted annually

The Energy Information Administration

(EIA) estimates that power plants in

the state of New Jersey emit 0.666 lbs

CO2 per kWh generated.

The Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) estimates that one car emits

11,560 lbs CO2 per year.

The EPA estimates that reducing

CO2 emissions by 7,333 pounds

is equivalent to planting an acre of

trees.

Page 27


Notes and Assumptions

Project cost estimates were based upon industry accepted published cost data, rough order of magnitude

cost estimates from contractors, and regional prevailing wage rates. The cost estimates presented in this

report should be used to select projects for investment grade development. The cost estimates presented

in this report should not be used for budget development or acquisition requests.

Estimated energy and cost savings are based on individual projects being implemented and do not

account for potential synergies if multiple projects are implemented concurrently. Therefore, cumulative

energy and cost savings shown in this report may or may not be representative of actual results.

The average CO2 emission rate from power plants serving the facilities within this report was obtained

from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) eGRID2007 report. It is stated that power plants within

the state of NJ emit 0.66 lbs of CO2 per kWh generated.

The EPA estimates that burning one therm of natural gas emits 11.708 lbs CO2.

The EPA estimates that one car emits 11,560 lbs CO2 per year.

The EPA estimates that reducing CO2 emissions by 7,333 pounds is equivalent to planting an

acre of trees.

ECM #1: Upgrade Packaged Roof Top Units with High Efficiency Units

The existing rooftop units (RTUs) in the Kennedy Center and Firehouse163 are approximately 10 years old and are nearing the end of theirestimated equipment service life (EESL) per ASHRAE standards (TheEESL for package rooftop units is 15 years).

Replacing these RTU’s with new, higher efficiency units will reduceannual energy and maintenance costs.

When replacing the RTU for Firehouse 163, Willingboro should considerswitching to natural gas fired unit instead of an electric reheat unit.

New Jersey SmartStart offers rebates that typically pay for theincremental cost to upgrade to higher efficient units.

Energy Efficiency Ratios*

*Energy Efficiency Ratios: EER is the rating of

cooling output (Btu) divided by the electrical

energy input (watts). The higher the EER, the

more efficient the unit.

ECM #3: Install Computer Power Management System

By installing a computer power management system, IT administrators will be able to reduce per-PC

operating cost by reducing energy consumption via shutdown, standby and hibernate for PC’s and sleep

for monitors.

This software has the capability to set up profiles to optimize time of day schedules.

This system also enhances network security and improves the success rate of network maintenance task

by ensuring that PC’s are accessible when IT needs them to be.

This software has the capability to have an on-demand network-wide shutdown protects against virus

outbreak or an imminent power outage. Similarly, shutting down unattended PCs (whether logged onto or

not) after work hours can help protect against unauthorized access to the PCs’ data or to network

resources.

Average electric consumption of computer components PC Only: 120 kWh @ $0.15 per kWh = $18 per year

Monitor Only: 150 – 120 kWh @ $0.15 per kWh = $ 18 – 23 per year

ECM #4: Vending Machine Power Management

Dome-Tech recommends installing a vending machine power management

device on all vending machines.

The device uses a passive infrared sensor to power down the machine when

the area surrounding it is vacant. Then it monitors the room’s temperature

and automatically re-powers the cooling system at one- to three-hour

intervals, independent of sales, to ensure that the product stays cold.

The microcontroller will never power down the machine while the compressor

is running, eliminating compressor short-cycling. In addition, when the

machine is powered up, the cooling cycle is allowed to finish before again

powering down (reduces compressor wear and tear).

*Assumes installation

by in-house staff.

ECM #6: Install Timers on Hot Water Heater

The Library has one (1) electric domestic hot water heater. The hotwater heater is 80 gallons and rated for 15 kilowatts of heating.

Although hot water heaters are insulated, there is significant standbyheat loss during off hours. The heating elements turn on throughoutunoccupied hours to maintain the desired set point temperature.

Placing timers on the units will turn the units off during unoccupiedhours and turn them back on two hours prior to occupation. Thissetback schedule eliminates energy used to make up the standby heatloss.

ECM #7: Lighting Upgrade

Although most of the current light fixtures have higher efficiency T-8 fluorescent lamps and ballasts, improved light fixture designs will further reduce lighting energy costs by relamping to lower wattage 25 Watt T8 lamps or retrofitting T12 fixtures to higher efficiency T8 while maintaining the minimum lighting output as per state codes. The Public Works Garages have older technology HID lighting and should be retrofitted with High Output T5 or T8 fixtures.

Many areas were observed to have lights on regardless of occupancy. Installing occupancy sensors in these areas will automatically turn lights on/off according to actual occupancy by sensing the presence of people in the room. Occupancy sensors will reduce lighting energy costs by approximately 30%*.

ECM #8: Replace Boilers with High Efficiency Modulating Condensing Boilers

The Kennedy Center is equipped with a natural gas-fired tube hot water boiler. The Municipal Buildingis equipped with cast iron sectional boilers and Firehouses 161, and 163 are equipped with smallercast iron boilers.

For the most part, these boilers are old and are nearing the end of the equipment service life (ASHRAEstates the service life of similar equipment to be 25 years).

The ages, sizes, types and configurations of the boilers do not lend themselves to efficient operation.Generally, as boilers approach the end of their service life, the efficiency degrades and the boiler mustconsume more fuel in order to produce the same rated output. In addition, there is a direct correlationbetween risk of equipment failure (tube breaks & meltdown, shell cracks, furnace surface area failure)and equipment age.

If the existing boilers could be replaced by high efficiency, modulating or modular condensing boilers,savings will be realized in two ways. Modulating boilers, usually 1,000 MBH or smaller, employ multiple burners to meet the heating load. Each burner

operates independently, eliminating the “all on/all off” operation of single burner boilers. As building loadincreases only those burners necessary to meet the load are fired. This allows each burner to run at optimalefficiency. Modular boilers operate under the same principal but for larger installations. In this case multipleboilers are used rather than multiple burners. Modular boilers usually are employed in 1000, 2000 or 3000 MBHsizes.

Condensing boilers recover energy from the exhaust gas thus allowing efficiencies of 90% and above.

When a boiler is both a modulating/modular type and a condensing type, extremely high efficienciescan be realized.

ECM #8: Replace Boilers w/ High Efficiency Modulating Condensing Boilers (continued)

The high first cost of a new boiler system may preclude this ECM from being justified by economicsalone at some of the facilities.. However, reliability issues warrant consideration of these projects aspart of a long-term capital improvement plan. The ECM table details the economics at each site

NOTE: The presented economics should be used for planning purposes only. If the client decides to proceed with any boiler replacement project,

these economics should be refined with an investment grade analysis.

* Due to incomplete billing data for the Kennedy Center the fuel savings which are based on boiler load calculation are larger than annual natural gas

expenditure.

ECM #25: Demand Control Ventilation

Building codes require that a minimum amount of fresh air be provided to ensure adequate air quality.

To comply, ventilation systems often operate at a fixed rate based on an assumed occupancy (e.g., 20

CFM per person multiplied by the maximum design occupancy). The result is excessive fresh air

volumes which require costly (and unnecessary) conditioning.

Demand-controlled ventilation controls the amount of outside air based upon the CO2 levels generated

by building occupants. Demand ventilation should be added to any return air system where space

occupancy varies dramatically – library, cafeterias and gymnasiums.

By installing CO2 sensors and controlling the CO2 level at less than 1000 PPM, the outside air flow is

kept to the absolute minimum while space conditions are kept in compliance with building codes and

standards such as the ASHRAE Indoor Air Quality Standard.

Renewable/Distributed Energy Measures

Distributed Generation & Renewable Energy

Distributed Generation (on-site generation) generates electricity from many small energy sources. These sources can be renewable (solar/wind/geothermal) or can be small scale power generation technologies (CHP, fuel cells, microturbines)

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources (sunlight, wind, and underground geothermal heat) which are naturally replenished

Photovoltaics (solar) are particularly popular in Germany and Spain and growing in popularity in the U.S.

Wind power is growing as well, mostly in Europe and the U.S.

Wind turbines generate electricity by harnessing a wind stream's kinetic energy as it spins the turbine airfoils. As with most renewable energy sources, wind

energy is subject to intermittent performance due to the unpredictability of wind resources.

Willing boro Wind Speed

As previously stated, wind speed is critical to the successful wind turbine installation. According to average wind data from NASA’s Surface Meteorology and

Solar Energy records, the average annual wind speed for the Willingboro area is 5.2 meters per second. Ideal wind speeds for a successful project should

average over 6 meters per second.

For the Township of Willingboro, Dome-Tech considered three (3) types of wind turbine technologies; building integrated wind turbines (1 kW each) and

traditional ground mounted wind turbines (5 kW & 50 kW).

Renewable Energy Technologies: Solar Photovoltaic

Solar Photovoltaic

Sunlight can be converted into electricity using photovoltaics (PV).

A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is a device that converts sunlight directly into electricity.

Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semiconducting materials, such as silicon. Electrons are knocked loose from their atoms, allowing them to flow through the material to produce electricity.

Solar cells are often electrically connected and encapsulated as a module, in series, creating an additive voltage. The modules are connected in an array. The power output of an array is measured in watts or kilowatts, and typical energy needs are measured in kilowatt-hours.

Solar system arrays are recommended in this application for potenial placement on additional selected areas.

Page 63


The implementation of solar PV projects in

Willingboro Township would place your

facilities at the forefront of renewable

energy utilization. This allows the

Township the opportunity to not only gain

experience with this energy technology,

but also to win recognition as an

environmentally sensitive, socially

conscience government. Additionally,

these projects could be incorporated into

science education and additional

curriculums in the local schools to raise

awareness of current energy alternatives

to the younger generations.

Renewable Energy Technologies: CHP/Cogeneration

CHP (combined heat and power) or cogeneration is the use of a heat engine to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat.

Fuel Cells are electrochemical conversion devices that operate by catalysis, separation the protons and the electrons of the reactant fuel, and forcing the electrons to travel through a circuit to produce electricity. The catalyst is typically a platinum group metal or alloy. Another catalytic process takes the electrons back in, combining them with the protons and oxidant, producing waste products (usually water and carbon dioxide).

Microturbines are rotary engines that extract energy from a flow of combustion gas. They can be used with absorption chillers to provide cooling through waste heat rather than electricity. Microturbines are

best suited for facilities with year-round thermal and/or cooling loads.

Not recommended for Township of Willingboro due to the lack of thermal requirements in the summertime.

Page 72


Utility Tariff and Rate Review: Electricity

Accounts and Rate Class: Willingboro Township has eight facilities with eight electric

accounts with service behind Public Service Electric & Gas, all under various rate classes.

Utility bills were not provided therefore some rate classes were unknown. However most of

the accounts fall under the rate class General Lighting and Power Service (GLP).

Electric Consumption and Cost: Based on the one-year period studied, the total annual

electric expenditure for the Township is about $276,000 and the total annual consumption is

about 1,610,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Average/Effective Rate per kWh: For the one year period studied, the Township’s average

monthly cost per kilowatt-hour ranged from 13.9 ¢/kWh to 22.5 ¢/kWh, inclusive of utility

delivery charges. The Township’s overall, average cost per kilowatt-hour during this period

was 17.1 ¢/kWh.

o Note that these average electric rates are “all–inclusive”; that is, they include all supply service

(generation and commodity-related) charges, as well as all delivery service charges. The supply

service charges typically represent the majority (60-80%) of the total monthly bill. It is the supply

portion of your bill that is deregulated, which is discussed on subsequent slides in this section.

Page 73


Utility Tariff and Rate Review: Natural Gas

Accounts and Rate Class: Willingboro Township has eight facilities with eight natural gas

accounts behind Public Service Electric and Gas Company under rate classes Large Volume

Gas (LVG) and General Service Gas (GSGH & GSL).

Natural Gas Consumption and Cost: Based on the one-year period studied, the total

annual natural gas expenditure for the Township is about $80,000 and the total annual

consumption is about 59,000 therms (th). Natural gas is used predominantly throughout the

winter period for heating purposes.

Average/Effective Rate per Therm: For the one year period studied, the Township’s

average cost per therm ranged from $1.28 to $1.60 per therm, inclusive of utility delivery

charges. The Township’s overall, average cost per therm during this period was $1.34 per

therm.

o Note that these average natural gas rates are “all–inclusive”; that is, they include all supply service

(interstate transportation and commodity-related) charges, as well as all delivery service charges. The

supply service charges typically represent the majority (60-80%) of the total monthly bill. It is the supply

portion of your bill that is deregulated, which is discussed on subsequent slides in this section.

Utility Deregulation in New Jersey: Background and Retail Energy Purchasing

In August 2003, per the Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act [N.J.S.A 48:3-49], the

State of New Jersey deregulated its electric marketplace thus making it possible for customers

to shop for a third-party (someone other than the utility) supplier of retail electricity.

Per this process, every single electric account for every customer in New Jersey was placed

into one of two categories: BGS-FP or BGS-CIEP. BGS-FP stands for Basic Generation

Service-Fixed Price; BGS-CIEP stands for Basic Generation Service-Commercial and

Industrial Energy Pricing.

At its first pass, this categorization of accounts was based on rate class. The largest electric

accounts in the State (those served under a Primary or a Transmission-level rate class) were

moved into BGS-CIEP pricing. All other accounts (the vast majority of accounts in the State of

New Jersey, including residential) were placed in the BGS-FP category, receiving default

electric supply service from the utility.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has continued to move new large energy

users from the BGS-FP category into the BGS-CIEP category by lowering the demand (kW)

threshold for electric accounts receiving Secondary service. Several years ago, this threshold

started at 1,500kW; now, it has come down to 1,000 kW. So, if an account’s “peak load share”

(as assigned by the utility) is less than 1,000 kW, then that facility/account is in the BGS-FP

category. If you are unsure, you may contact Dome-tech for assistance.

Page 75


Utility Deregulation in New Jersey: Background and Retail Energy Purchasing (cont.)

There are at least 3 important differentiating factors to note about each rate category:

1. The rate structure for BGS-FP accounts and for BGS-CIEP accounts varies.

2. The “do-nothing” option (ie, what happens when you don’t shop for retail energy) varies.

3. The decision about whether, and why, to shop for a retail provider varies.

Secondary (small to medium) Electric Accounts:

o BGS-FP rate schedules for all utilities are set, and re-set, each year. Per the results of our State’s BGS

Auction process, held each February, new utility default rates go into effect every year on June 1st. The

BGS-FP rates become each customer’s default rates, and they dictate a customer’s “Price to Compare”

(benchmark) for shopping purposes. To learn more about the BGS Auction process, please go to

www.bgs-auction.com.

o A customer’s decision about whether to buy energy from a retail energy supplier is, therefore, dependent

upon whether a supplier can offer rates that are lower than the utility’s (default) Price to Compare. In

2009, and for the first time in several years, many BGS-FP customers have “switched” from the utility to

a retail energy supplier because there have been savings. This may be the same case in 2010.

Primary (large) Electric Accounts:

o The BGS-CIEP category is quite different. There are two main features to note about BGS-CIEP

accounts that do not switch to a retail supplier for service. The first is that they pay an hourly market

rate for energy; the second is that these accounts also pay a “retail margin adder” of $0.0053/kWh. For

these large accounts, this retail adder can amount to tens of thousands of dollars. The adder is

eliminated when a customer switches to a retail supplier for service.

o For BGS-CIEP accounts, the retail adder makes a customer’s decision about whether to switch

relatively simple. However, the process of setting forth a buying strategy can be complex, which is why

many public entities seek professional assistance when shopping for energy.

o For more information concerning hourly electric market prices for our region, please refer to

Utility Deregulation in New Jersey: Background and Retail Energy Purchasing (cont.)

Natural Gas Accounts:

o The natural gas market in New Jersey is also deregulated. Unlike the electric market, there are no

“penalties”, or “adders”, for not shopping for natural gas. Most customers that remain with the utility for

natural gas service pay rates that are market-based and that fluctuate on a monthly basis. While natural

gas is a commodity that is exceptionally volatile and that is traded minute-by-minute during open trading

sessions, market rates are “settled” each month, 3 business days prior to the subsequent month (this is

called the “prompt month”). Customers that do not shop for a natural gas supplier will typically pay this

monthly settlement rate to the utility, plus other costs that are necessary to bring gas from Louisiana up

to New Jersey and ultimately to your facility.

o For additional information about natural gas trading and current market futures rates for various

commodities, you can refer to www.nymex.com.

o A customer’s decision about whether to buy natural gas from a retail supplier is typically dependent

upon whether a customer seeks budget certainty and/or longer-term rate stability. Customers can

secure longer-term fixed prices by enlisting a retail natural gas supplier. Many larger natural gas

customers also seek the assistance of a professional consultant to assist in their procurement process.

Retail Energy Purchasing: Recommendations and Resources

Electric

o Based on current and recent market conditions, and actual bid processes run by Dome-Tech for various

clients during 2010, we have seen customers with BGS-FP accounts save approximately 10-20% in

projected energy costs by switching to a retail energy supplier. The Township could secure this type of

agreement, this could represent an annual savings of approximately $41,000 for the larger accounts at

the Township. It is important to note that actual rates and potential savings will be dependent on several

factors, including market conditions, account usage characteristics/load profile (load factor), volume, and

contract term. For the period studied, the Township was not utilizing a third party supplier for electricity.

Natural Gas

o Based on current and recent market conditions, and actual bid processes run by Dome-Tech for various

clients during 2010, we have seen many customers entering into longer-term contracts for fixed natural

gas rates. These rates vary substantially based on load type, volume, and term. For the period studied,

the Township was not utilizing a third party supplier for natural gas.

Energy Purchasing Co-Operatives

Many public entities participate in various energy aggregation buying groups. Sometimes, an entity will

have multiple options to choose from. These might include purchasing through a County co-operative,

or purchasing through a trade-type association (for instance, many schools participate in NJASBO’s

ACES program). Co-operative purchasing may not necessarily get you the lowest rates; however, there

is often substantial volume, and it can represent a good alternative for entities with limited energy

consumption who can have a difficult time getting energy suppliers to respond to them on a direct,

singular basis.

To determine whether a savings opportunity currently exists for your entity, or for guidance on how to get

started, you may contact Dome-Tech to discuss. There is also additional information provided below.

and functionality and condition varied throughout the buildings.

A window and door replacement project would result in a measurable improvement

in heat retention. In addition, increased aesthetic value and occupant comfort

would accompany a window and door project. It should be noted however, that

even an optimized window project can rarely be justified solely on economic

payback.

Because the economics alone are not sufficient to justify implementation, occupant

comfort and aesthetics should be the overriding considerations in moving forward

with this project.
