Current Energy Conservation Strategies
Identify “low hanging fruit” Install occupancy sensors Behavior modifications Saved Toledo Express Airport
approximately $35,000 per year Additional $40,000 to $80,000 of
potential savings Propose waterless urinals and/or dual
flush valves
Current Energy/Water Conservation Strategies
Current Energy Conservation Strategies Temperature adjustments and equipment shut
down during non-peak hours Adjust reset and set-back temperatures and
temperature settings Staging/sequencing of boilers, chillers, and air
handling units Adjust and repair dampers and economizers

Water Management and Conservation Strategies
Pennsylvania American Water is the local water and wastewater company for Hershey, PA.– A = Exceptional– B = Good– C = Mediocre– D = Poor– F = Failing
– AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE G.P.A. D
Estimated 5-Year funding requirements for drinking water and wastewater:
Total investment needs $255 billionEstimated spending $146.4 billion
Projected shortfall $108.6 billion
Water Management and Conservation Strategies

Water Management and Conservation Strategies
In 2008, the City of Port Angeles completed a project to replace the water mains and sidewalks in the downtown area.
The original water mains were installed in 1914.
Clean and safe water is no less a national priority

Fundamental Commissioning Pre-requisite for LEED certification The process of commissioning Benefits of commissioning
Fundamental Commissioning
Enhanced Commissioning An additional credit for LEED
certification There is a third party independent
commissioning authority Benefits of enhanced
commissioning
Enhanced Commissioning
Retro - Commissioning Defined as commissioning a
building that’s never been commissioned
Working with the owner’s facility staff
Benefits of retro-commissioning

Positive Feedback Commissioning Also known as “Continuous
Commissioning”, as developed and trademarked by Texas A&M University
Real time web enabled monitoring and reporting of building performance

What are airports doing regarding energy reduction and alternative renewable energy solutions?
On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions
San Francisco International Airport harnesses solar power
A solar power system has been installed on the roof of San Francisco International Airport's Terminal 3
On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions - San Francisco International Airport
On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions - San Francisco International Airport
ProjectSan Francisco International Airport installed a 445kW solar array.
ResultsWill contribute approximately 628,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) yearly of totally “green”, non-polluting electrical power
The solar array generated 3.3 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity year 1
On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions - Solar Array Denver International Airport
Three photovoltaic projects underway/completed at DIA to date:
Pena Boulevard array: 2 Megawatt facility7.5 acres9,254 solar panels at 216 watts/panelGenerated 3.3 million kWh year 1
Fuel Farm array: 1.6 Megawatt facility
9 acres
7,392 panels at 216 watts/panel
Will to generate 2.4M kWh year 1 2010 project: 4.3 Megawatt facility
30 acres

On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions - Fresno Yosemite International Airport
The 2-megawatt installation of solar panels were completed by early 2008.
Approximately five acres of raised solar panels installed
On-site Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions - Portland International Jetport
Installation of a $2.5M geothermal system at Portland International Jetport
The project was funded through a $2.5M grant from the FAA through VALE.
Estimated to save more than $10M in oil usage costs
