Save Energy

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Reduce Waste

Improve Productivity

Train Next Generation of “Energy Engineers”

Boilers Lighting HVAC & Controls Motors & Pumps Compressed Air Preventative Maintenance Chillers and Cooling Towers Steam Systems & Steam Traps Demand-side Management Systems Other Sustainable Energy Systems

Preliminary Information & Consultation Discuss Assessment Process with NCSU Engineer Complete & Submit Preliminary Information Form Submit Energy Bills

▪ Analysis of Energy Bills

Onsite Energy Assessment Plant Tour & Operations Discussion Identification of ECM Opportunities Measurement & Data Gathering Wrap-up Meeting with Plant Management

Data Analysis at NC State & Reporting Data analyzed and interpreted

▪ Recommendations developed

▪ Energy Savings estimated

Cost to benefit analysis▪ ROI, simple payback, life cycle costing, etc.

Report developed & delivered

Implementation & Follow-up Follow-up calls and assistance Continued assistance as needed

Saving Energy Onsite Energy Assessments Demand Side Management (DSM) Energy Bill Analysis

Reducing Waste and Pollution Greenhouse Gas reductions from implementing

Energy Conservation Measures (ECM)

Additional Technical Assistance Strategic Energy Planning Energy Management Consulting Measurement & Verification

Improving Productivity Broad Process and systems review Additional NCSU resources

▪ Industrial Extension Service

2005 IAC Assessment $250,000 annual savings $560,000 implementation cost,

2.3 year payback

Recession activity Company grew market share

due to greater efficiency Company expanded into new

world markets as others retracted

Some recommendations applied corporately Additional $920,000 worldwide

savings

Local plant expanded New product line added New line and 50 new jobs

without incentive

Campus Greenhouses

Detailed lighting survey $112k implementation cost $38k leveraged incentives $17k annual energy savings 4.4 year simple payback

▪ Maintenance savings further shorten payback

Boiler tuning▪ Boiler was short cycling

Helping NC Bottom Line

Currently working with: Industrial Plants School districts Community Colleges Military facilities Cities Counties Towns

Additional Revenue Sales tax from project implementations Retained or increased payroll

▪ Better bottom line, fewer job cuts

Increased business: ▪ asset base▪ investment▪ income

Business goodwill

Another Tool for your Toolbox

New industry and business recruitment Unbiased resource at any stage of development Additional benefit if locating in NC

Existing business expansion or retention Inter-plant and corporate competition for project revenue Report assists company with cost/benefit analysis

Technical Energy Workshops

Workforce Training Refresh or retrain opportunities Green skills are very desirable PDH Resource to maintain certifications

Future Workforce Training Enter workforce with practical skills Fills NC need for technical engineering

Process Energy Analysis HVAC Systems Chillers & Cooling Towers DDC Procurement &

Commissioning Distributed Generation Energy Management &

Safety for Laboratories

Power Quality Solutions Cost-Effective Lighting Motors & VSDs Energy Management

Systems Compressed Air Systems Pumping Systems Improving Boiler Efficiency

Sample of Technical Energy Workshop Topics

We’re here to help.We’re unbiased (not selling anything).

Energy brings us to the plant. We help businesses keep a competitive edge. We work hard to save companies money.

At the end of the day, we’re here about Jobs!
