BED Energy Efficiency Highlights
Large Commercial services

ASHRAE Meeting Staff attended an ASHRAE Meeting held at the Inn at Essex
on Feb 7</span><span class="Normal--Char" style=" font-family: 'Times New (W1)', 'Arial';
color: #000000;"><sup>th. 
PCI Presentation at EVT Staff attended a presentation
by PCI, a local lighting controls manufacturer out of South Burlington. 
They have been in this business for 20+ years, and may have several
low cost control products that are useful for lighting applications
in areas like small warehouses and offices.
TRANE Satellite Presentation Staff attended the live broadcast at the local Trane office,
concerning Chiller Condenser Waterside Heat Recovery.  This is
a waste heat recovery technique developed and used in the 1970's, but
has since been largely ignored, until our most recent domestic energy
price adjustments.
Fletcher Allen Health Care Continuing to work with the Carrier Performance Contract group
on several rather large energy efficiency projects involving lighting
and HVAC, potentially scheduled to start QTR 2 of 2007.  We are
preparing an incentive package to encourage the implementation of all
of these measures, and are only waiting for some clarification info
from Carrier before completing the offer.
Koffee Kup Bakery Completed a comparison between
their electric bills before service consolidation, and after. 
Their kW has recently been reduced 8% and their kWh reduced by 17% due
to the consolidation and several energy savings measures.  Other
ESM's are pending, such as a plant-wide lighting upgrade.
UVM Central Chiller Plant at Cage Commissioning activities for the plant will begin in late
March, startup scheduled for mid-April.  We are arranging a tour
within the next few weeks.  This steam driven chiller plant will
be helpful in reducing the peak summer air conditioning load for BED's
grid.
UVM Freezer Farm Obtained confirmation of purchase
of several RTU's that qualify for the Cool Choice program (2006),
City Market
Jake will attend an initial meeting with the customer and the original
building commissioning agent, Tom Anderson of CX Associates.  The
next step is to schedule Phase 1 of the re-commissioning process for
their HVAC system, which appears to have several operational problems
which never were fully addressed.  The customer appears to be committed
to moving ahead with the process of becoming a recognized community
leader in reducing their carbon footprint.
Burlington
Airport -
Participated in a conference call with Hallam Associates and Airport
Engineering to help finalize an approach for the re-commissioning of
their lighting and HVAC systems.  Originally structured as a "Hallam/Kilawatt"
performance contract project, the customer is apparently more comfortable
in moving ahead in a more traditionally-financed manner.  The airport
would also prefer that BED be closely involved in this endeavor. 
It is expected that an agreement to proceed can be finalized within
the next two weeks or so.
Burlington Free Press Air Compressor Engineering has installed monitoring equipment
on the Free Press existing 50HP compressor.  Results indicate that
purchase of a new energy efficient compressor, and improving their compressed
air system configuration could save them $15,000 a year.  BED will
be installing our own meter on the existing air compressor to obtain
baseline data for any future improvements that are made.  The customer
is also pursuing additional HVAC improvements, some of which will require
capital spending approvals from their corporate headquarters.
Burlington Water Plant Completed a tour at the Lake
St. Facility with Steve Roy.  They are exploring several energy
savings measures, and may also be candidates for the most recent ISO
New England Demand Response program.
General Dynamics
ATP 128 Lakeside Avenue A three ton air to air heat pump with an
electric reheat coil was replaced with a high efficient two-ton rooftop
unit to include an optional dual enthalpy fresh air economizer control.
The project is approximately 75% complete.  
UVM Mann
Hall (Trinity Campus) A cost benefit energy savings analysis completed
by P.F. Bailey Associates was reviewed and reanalyzed for verification
on a proposed LPA installation to a 16 Ton A/C Liebert unit serving
the computer room at Mann Hall.  The project screened and UVM has
decided to go ahead with the installation.  Project is ongoing.  
Champlain College
Continue to work this customer to implement the chiller plant piping
rearrangement project which will limit operation of primary chilled
water pump to only hours when the chiller operating. BED has offered
a financial incentive for this project. This project will be completed
later this winter or early spring.
Champlain College
Continue to work with this customer to implement a liquid pressure amplification
system. This project is expected to be completed this winter or early
spring.

Smaller Commercial Services

Kilawatt / Hallam Contract Zampieri State Office Building:  Attended
a meeting at 108 Cherry St. with the customer and Kilawatt / Hallam. 
Discrepancies in the operation of a number of the building Heat Recovery
Units are being explored.  Completed calculations for savings for
several lighting upgrades within the building, as suggested by Kilawatt
to the customer.  Burlington High School: Attended a meeting between Burlington School District IT
and Kilawatt / Hallam to discuss energy savings associated with better
computer management.  The IT group is very interested in moving
ahead with this effort, and some key energy consumption data was gathered
at the meeting to determine potential energy savings associated with
this program.
