1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BSE Engineering has been retained by Fullerton College to conduct a heating hot water master planning engineering feasibility study. In order to determine the best solution for addressing the heating hot water requirements of the master planned buildings and major retrofit projects, the following three possible options were studied:
Option 1 – Retain the existing steam plant & add decentralized heating hot water boilers at the new buildings and major retrofits as needed.
Option 2 – Decentralize the boilers down to the building level – provide building level heating hot water boiler plants.
Option 3 – Provide a new centralized heating hot water boiler plant with a distribution loop around the campus.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on our findings, the existing steam boiler plant does not have adequate spare capacity
to serve the needs of the new proposed buildings. The existing plant is very inefficient and
the existing distribution piping has reached the end of its useful life. Old systems pose
unnecessary risk to the campus in terms of potential failures with the added costs due to high
maintenance and operation. This means Option 1 is not a viable option and our office
recommends against it.
Further, when comparing Options 2 (decentralized) versus Option 3 (centralized), BSE
Engineering recommends Option 2 for the following reasons:
1. Option 2 is $2,119,990 less expensive than Option 3 ‐ $2,795,457 vs. $4,915,447
2. Option 2 is more efficient than Option 3 – Even though the boiler equipment
efficiencies between the two options would be similar, Option 3 will have additional
pumping operational costs due to longer pipe runs associated with increased pipe
friction. Also Option 3 would also have higher piping heat losses due to longer pipe
runs.
3. Option 2 is easier to implement in phases with minimal impact to the campus
operations.
Other Comments:
The northern portion of campus at the Horticulture buildings are all currently served by direct
expansion (DX) equipment as the primary source of heating and cooling. Given the relatively
remote location, it is recommended to maintain those buildings on DX equipment.

The Wilshire buildings are served by a satellite heating hot water boiler plant located in the
basement of building 2100. Based on our calculations, the existing heating hot water plant
has adequate capacity to handle the replacement of building 2000 with the new anticipated
Performing Arts Complex.
Building 1400 has a newer existing decentralized heating hot water boiler plant. It is
recommended to retain this decentralized plant until the plant has reached the end of its
useful life and Boiler Plant #9 is installed capable of addressing Building 1400 loads.
The anticipated new Instructional building (adjacent to building 1400) is recommended to be
provided with a temporary decentralized heating hot water boiler plant until when the Boiler
Plant #9 is installed capable of addressing the Instruction Building loads.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS Heating for the Fullerton Campus is currently provided using one of the following three (3) systems:
1. Centralized Steam Boilers in Building 1200 – Serving the majority of the campus
2. Decentralized Heating Hot Water Boiler Plants – One serving the Wilshire Complex and another serving Building 1400
3. Direct Expansion (DX) Equipment – Serve areas not covered by the above.
The primary source of heating for the campus is generated by the central steam boiler heating plant located at building 1200. A satellite heating hot water boiler plant is located south of Chapman Avenue serving the Wilshire buildings, building 1400 consists of a decentralized heating hot water boiler and the remaining campus consists of DX equipment.
Refer to “Appendix A”, exhibit “M1.0 EXISTING CAMPUS STEAM & HHW PIPING DISTRIBUTION PLAN” for a map of the existing Fullerton College campus steam and heating hot water piping distribution plan and breakdown of heating systems.
2.1 Building 1200 Steam Plant The 1200 building central steam boiler plant consists of two 9,846 MBH steam boilers, with a total capacity of 19,692 MBH. The steam plant provides steam for comfort heating as well as some limited domestic hot water (DHW). Table 3 below provides a breakdown of each buildings heating load and domestic hot water load.

The steam is distributed through underground service tunnels to the basement of each building. At the building, the steam is converted to heating hot water and domestic hot water via shell and tube heat exchangers. Condensate is collected and then pumped back through the underground service tunnels to building 1200 central plant to be returned to the steam boilers. Refer to Figure 2 for existing steam distribution to main campus.

Based on the building 1200 steam boiler plant total capacity of 19,692 MBH and the buildings total combined heating load and domestic hot water load of 21,577 MBH (from Table 3), the existing plant does not have adequate capacity to serve any increased future loads. Additionally, based on our field observations, there is no available space within the existing steam boiler plant to add additional boilers in order to provide adequate capacity for the future loads.
Designing Your Sustainable Future
North Orange County Community College District – Fullerton College Heating Hot Water Master Planning Engineering Feasibility Study November 3, 2017 Final Page 9
In the current configuration only three (3) buildings (Buildings 400, 700, & 1200) are using the existing steam plant to generate domestic hot water. However, there is evidence that as many as eight buildings (400, 500, 700, 800, 1000, 1100, 1200, & 1300) have at one point or another generated domestic hot water with a shell and tube heat exchanger using the steam central plant. The other buildings have disconnected and abandoned the heat exchangers. These buildings are now producing domestic hot water with back‐up electric water heaters.
2.2 Wilshire Heating Hot Water Plant The Wilshire heating hot water boiler plant consists of two 1,260 MBH boilers, with a total capacity of 2,520 MBH. The boiler plant is located in the basement of building 2100 and provides heating hot water for comfort heating. Table 4 below provides a breakdown of each building heating loads.

Figure 3 ‐ Wilshire Heating Hot Water Distribution
Based on the Wilshire heating hot water boiler plant total capacity of 2,520 MBH and the buildings total combined heating load of 3,754 MBH (from Table 4), the existing plant does not have adequate capacity to serve any increased future loads. However, the existing heating hot water boiler plant has space available to add additional boilers or replace existing boilers with larger boilers in order to provide adequate capacity for the future loads.

3 ANTICIPATED CAMPUS GROWTH AND MODERNIZATION Based on the Facility Master Plan outlining anticipated projects, improvements, buildings scheduled for demolition, and the campus future needs, an estimated 151,428 square feet of conditioned floor area is projected to be added to the campus’s heating plants (Table 5), while an estimated 73,061 square feet of conditioned floor area is to be removed from campus (Table 6).
Three key options have been considered in this study to address the future campus growth impact on the campus heating plants:
Option 1 – Retain the existing steam plant & add decentralized heating hot water boilers on the new buildings and major retrofits as needed.
Option 2 – Decentralize the boilers down to the building level – provide building level heating hot water boiler plants.
Option 3 – Provide a centralized heating hot water plant with a looped around the campus piping configuration.
Refer to “Appendix A” for Fullerton College campus steam and heating hot water piping distribution plans.

3.1 Option 1 – Retain Existing Steam Plant & Add Decentralized Boilers at New
Buildings The existing underground utility tunnels used for steam distribution are original to the campus and were constructed at the same time as the first buildings on campus were constructed, which was around 1936. There are no more recent records indicating the age and condition of the steam distribution piping in the utility tunnels. Campus facilities have indicated that there has been occasional small maintenance, replacement, and repair projects related to the steam distribution system. The original steam plant was relocated from the West side of campus to building 1200 in 2002, which makes the existing steam plant fifteen years old. Generating steam for heating hot water and domestic hot water in a Southern California warm climate is very inefficient. Additionally, there are no processes on campus where steam is actually required or necessary to have.
If the existing steam was to be continued to be used, decentralized heating hot water boiler plants would have to be added to address the increased loads associated with the addition of the proposed future buildings. These buildings include the proposed new Operations & Maintenance building, the Instructional building, and the new Welcome Center building.
The addition of decentralized boiler plants for the new proposed buildings would have an impact on the gas infrastructure and a detailed gas load analysis and coordination with the local gas utility company, Southern California Gas (SCG), would be required.
The Wilshire campus south of Chapman Avenue has an existing satellite heating hot water boiler plant located in the basement of building 2100. Existing building 2000 (Student Services / TV) is planned to be removed and replaced with a new proposed Performing Arts Complex. Based on our calculations, the difference between what is being removed and added are about even, which mean the existing heating plant can be used to serve the new Performing Arts Complex provided that its current location can be preserved.
The follow is list of pros and cons for retaining the steam plant and adding decentralized boiler plants to serve the new proposed buildings:
Designing Your Sustainable Future
North Orange County Community College District – Fullerton College Heating Hot Water Master Planning Engineering Feasibility Study November 3, 2017 Final Page 13
Pros:
There is no large impact on campus operations & infrastructure
Redundancies can be provided in decentralized boiler plants at new proposed buildings
Cons:
On‐going maintenance costs to repair, replace and maintain the old steam distribution piping system
On‐going maintenance costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the existing steam boiler plant
Emergency repairs are very expensive and impossible to plan
There is no existing redundancy in the existing steam plant if plant fails or pipe repairs are required
Cost to repair/maintain existing condensate reservoirs and pumps
Age and condition of existing steam piping is unknown, risk of costly steam pipe leak
Operating this steam plant is expensive and inefficient especially when a plant is also serving some domestic hot water loads
3.2 Option 2 – Decentralize the Boilers Down to the Building Level BSE had previously studied and presented two options of decentralizing the existing steam heating plant into building level heating hot water boiler plants. The “Fullerton College Decentralization of Existing Steam Heating Plant Engineering Study” was finalized and released in February of 2017.
To summarize, BSE had considered two options of the decentralization of the existing steam plant. Option A proposed to decentralize heating hot water into nine new heating plants as seen in Figure 4. Option B proposed to decentralize heating hot water into six new heating plants as in Figure 5. BSE had concluded that both options were viable with Option A being slightly more favorable.
The benefits of a decentralized heating hot water plant are as follows:
Allows the campus to move away from steam heating
Lower initial cost

Figure 5 ‐ Option B ‐ Six New Heating Plants
The previous report did not take into account the Campus Master Plan, which now includes adding additional buildings to the campus. As seen on the “M1.1 FUTURE CAMPUS HHW PIPING DISTRIBUTION PLAN – OPTION 2” in “Appendix A”, Option 2 now includes a total of eleven (11) new decentralized heating hot water boiler plants in lieu of the originally anticipated nine (9) decentralized plants as presented in Figure 4.
The additional two (2) decentralized heating hot water boiler plants are for the future proposed M&O building (Boiler Plant #10) and Instructional Building, south of Chapman (Boiler Plant #11). The final location of the decentralized boiler plants shall be determined during the design of those buildings.
The future proposed Instructional building adjacent to building 1200 is scheduled to be designed and constructed in the near future. To allow for phasing of the decentralized boiler plants, it is recommended to add a temporary heating hot water boiler plant on the roof of the new Instructional building with provisions to connect the building to the decentralized boiler plant #9 in the future. To allow for this future connect, piping stub‐outs in concrete vaults needs to be provided during the design of the Instructional building.

Figure 6 ‐ Proposed Decentralized Boiler Plant #9
3.3 Option 3 – Centralized Heating Hot Water Plant with a Campus Distribution
Loop This option requires a phasing plan to develop a centralized heating hot water plant and campus distribution loop. Based on the future master plan, buildings 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1200, proposed New Welcome Center and Maintenance & Operations buildings are included in the centralized plant option. Buildings 1100 and 1300 are planned to be demolished based on the campus master plan.
The buildings not included in the centralized heating hot water plant are buildings 1400, 2000, 2100, W100, W200, W300, and the planned new Instructional buildings (Instructional Building and Instructional Building south of Chapman).
The benefits of a central heating hot water plant are as follows:
Air quality management from boiler equipment is easier to manage than individual plants
Designing Your Sustainable Future
North Orange County Community College District – Fullerton College Heating Hot Water Master Planning Engineering Feasibility Study November 3, 2017 Final Page 17
Larger centralized equipment can lower the maintenance and operation cost
Higher thermal efficiency can be achieved
Higher reliability and redundancy
A central plant can easily be expanded based on campus growth
Easier noise mitigation
Option 3 can be implemented in three phases. The phasing of the proposed plan has been coordinated, in campus, with the previously proposed chilled water plant expansion project and the associated piping expansion/loop. The following is a general overview of the proposed phases:
Phase I – As part of the chiller plant expansion in the existing “Mini Lot 3” add a new central heating hot water boiler plant. Install heating hot water piping in the same trench as the chilled water loop up to building 100.
Phase II – As the chilled water loop expands, also expand the heating hot water piping. Install heating hot water piping from building 100 to building 1000.
Phase III – Finish the heating hot water loop. Install heating hot water piping in the existing tunnel from building 200 back to the new central plant located in parking lot 3.
Refer to “1.2 FUTURE CAMPUS HHW PIPING DISTRIBUTION PLAN ‐ OPTION 3” in “Appendix A” for proposed piping distribution and phasing.
3.3.1 Phase I – Heating Hot Water Central Plant & Campus Loop to Building 100
Phase I of developing a centralized heating hot water central plant is to address the immediate needs of the campus growth, which includes the addition of the Maintenance & Operations building and major retrofit projects for buildings 300 and 500. The buildings associated with phase I are buildings 100, 300, 500, 700, 1100, 1300, new Welcome Center, and new Maintenance & Operation building. Once buildings 1100 and 1300 are demolished, the new Welcome Center will come online.
The new central heating hot water plant would be built in lot 3 in parallel with the expansion of “Mini Lot 3” chilled water central plant. Additionally, the heating hot water piping is to be installed at the same time and share the trench as the chilled water loop. This will save time and cost. Refer to Figure 7 below for proposed location of central plant and routing of heating hot water piping.
Designing Your Sustainable Future
North Orange County Community College District – Fullerton College Heating Hot Water Master Planning Engineering Feasibility Study November 3, 2017 Final Page 18
For Phase I, the central boiler plant should be sized and consist of two 6,000 MBH boilers at a total capacity of 12,000 MBH. This will provide almost 100 percent redundancy at the plant and will allow additional buildings to come online as the heating hot water piping distribution loop is expanded. Table 7 below shows the estimated loads associated with Phase I of the central plant.

3.3.2 Phase II – Heating Hot Water Campus Loop from Building 100 to Building 1000
Phase II of developing a centralized heating hot water central plant is to add buildings 200 and 1000 to the new central heating hot water boiler plant. This phase shall follow the phasing of the chilled water loop piping, which will extend the piping from building 100 to 1000. Refer to Figure 8 for Phase II distribution.
The new central heating hot water plant has adequate capacity to address the addition of buildings 200 and 1000 heating loads. The central plant will maintain 60 percent redundancy. Refer to Table 8 for total building load for the new central boiler plant during Phase II.

3.3.3 Phase III – Heating Hot Water Campus Loop from Building 1000 Back to Central Plant
Phase III of developing a centralized heating hot water central plant is finishing the heating hot water loop. This includes adding buildings 400, 600, 800, 900, and 1200 to the new central heating hot water central plant.
The new central heating hot water plant no longer has adequate capacity to address the additional building heating loads. An additional two 6,000 MBH boiler are to be added to the central plant. Only one 6,000 MBH boiler is required to meet the building loads, as see in Table 9 below, however, the fourth boiler will provide N+1 redundancy.
The final stretch of the heating hot water piping loop will utilize the existing tunnel from building 200 to building 900. From building 900, approximately 350‐ft of trenching is required in order to connect the loop to the central plant. Refer to Figure 9 for heating hot water routing.

4 ENGINEERING COST ESTIMATES
4.1 Engineers Opinion of Cost For the purpose of this study, pricing was estimated based on published pricing data from the Mechanical & Electrical Estimating books by RS‐Means and good engineering practice and judgment.
The goal of this cost estimate was to develop a rough order of magnitude applied across the three options presented in this study. The estimates are provided in current 2017 $USD.
The following are the estimated engineer’s opinion of cost associated with the three options presented in this study:
Option 1 ‐ $1,159,058
Option 2 ‐ $2,795,457
Option 3 ‐ $4,915,447
This cost estimate does not include annual maintain cost associated with each option. Option 1 will have the highest maintenance cost due to the age and condition of the existing steam system and the due to the higher number of equipment, such as the heat exchangers and steam traps, that required to be maintained. Option 2 will have the second highest maintenance costs due to the fact that there will be more decentralized boilers to maintain. Lastly, Option 3 will have the lowest maintains cost because all boilers will be located in a central location and there will be no need for heat exchangers or steam traps at each building.
4.1.1 Option 1 Costs – Retain Existing Steam Plant & Add Decentralized Boilers
The costs associated with Option 1 are providing decentralized heating hot water boilers, pumps, controls, and gas service at the three new buildings (Welcome Center, Maintenance & Operations, and Instructional Building). Additional costs are included for removal and replacement of the existing heating hot water building pumps, steam‐to‐water heat exchangers and associated condensate return pumps and receivers at buildings 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, and 1200.

4.1.2 Option 2 Costs – Decentralize the Boilers Down to the Building Level
BSE had previously studied and presented two options (A & B) of decentralizing the existing steam heating plant into building level heating hot water boiler plants. The “Fullerton College Decentralization of Existing Steam Heating Plant Engineering Study” was finalized and released in February of 2017. See Table 11 for the cost summary of Options A from the previous report.
The previous report did not provide engineers opinion of cost for the additional two (2) heating hot water boiler plants at the future proposed M&O building and Instructional building south of Chapman Avenue. Additionally, boiler plant #9 did not include the extra cost for adding additional heating capacity to include the heating load for the Instructional building adjacent to building 1200.
The total estimated engineer’s opinion of cost for adding the additional boiler plants and buildings to address the Campus Master Plan is seen in Table 10.

4.1.3 Option 3 Costs – Centralized Heating Hot Water Plant with a Campus Loop
The costs associated with Option 3 include adding heating hot water boilers at the central plant in Lot 3, circulation pumps, underground steel piping with insulation and PVC casing for the heating hot water loop, and building heating hot water pumps.
Trenching for the heating hot water piping loop and central plant enclosure were not included in the cost estimate because they are included in the chilled water study. There will be cost savings by installing the heating hot water central plant with the chilled water plant, as well as, installing the heating hot water campus loop at the same time and in the same trench as the chilled water campus loop.

5 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS Based on our findings, the existing steam boiler plant does not have adequate spare capacity
to serve the needs of the new proposed buildings. The existing plant is very inefficient and
the existing distribution piping has reached the end of its useful life. Old systems pose
unnecessary risk to the campus in terms of potential failures with the added costs due to high
maintenance and operation. This means Option 1 is not a viable option and our office
recommends against it.
Further, when comparing Options 2 (decentralized) versus Option 3 (centralized), BSE
Engineering recommends Option 2 for the following reasons:
4. Option 2 is $2,119,990 less expensive than Option 3 ‐ $2,795,457 vs. $4,915,447
5. Option 2 is more efficient than Option 3 – Even though the boiler equipment
efficiencies between the two options would be similar, Option 3 will have additional
pumping operational costs due to longer pipe runs associated with increased pipe
friction. Also Option 3 would also have higher piping heat losses due to longer pipe
runs.
6. Option 2 is easier to implement in phases with minimal impact to the campus
operations.
Other Comments:
The northern portion of campus at the Horticulture buildings are all currently served by direct
expansion (DX) equipment as the primary source of heating and cooling. Given the relatively
remote location, it is recommended to maintain those buildings on DX equipment.
The Wilshire buildings are served by a satellite heating hot water boiler plant located in the
basement of building 2100. Based on our calculations, the existing heating hot water plant
has adequate capacity to handle the replacement of building 2000 with the new anticipated
Performing Arts Complex.
Building 1400 has a newer existing decentralized heating hot water boiler plant. It is
recommended to retain this decentralized plant until the plant has reached the end of its
useful life and Boiler Plant #9 is installed capable of addressing Building 1400 loads.
The anticipated new Instructional building (adjacent to building 1400) is recommended to be
provided with a temporary decentralized heating hot water boiler plant until when the Boiler
Plant #9 is installed capable of addressing the Instruction Building loads.
