1. INTRODUCTION Kemmerer Recreation Center is a 2 story, 18,000 sq ft recreation center serving the community of Kemmerer, WY. It was built in the mid 80’s and has never had a major renovation of its mechanical systems for heating, ventilation or plumbing systems in that time. This report is intended outline the technical requirements for this RFP which will allow City of Kemmerer to go out to bid for this work in a complete or logically phased approach.
2. RFP RECOMMENDATIONS This document describes good practice procedures for improving the energy efficiency of the Recreation Center’s mechanical systems which will meet the requirements for obtaining incentives. Outside of the scope outline herein, we’d recommend the following items for inclusion in the final RFP:
Include allowance for making good penetrations within the architectural finishes and performing repairs.
This document describes minimum requirements and is not a complete design. As such the delivery method is assumed to be Design-Build by the successful bidder and they will need to develop construction and permit level plans and secure necessary permits.
The RFP should include a scoring mechanism which does not only include lowest initial cost, but also the design and construction approach, project team and similar project experience and long term cost benefits.
3. AVAILABLE ENERGY INCENTIVES Wyoming public buildings have access to a few incentives and grants. Depending on the timing, scope and delivery method, the successful team will be responsible for working with the City to define, determine and develop the applicable incentive and grant monies and programs and assist the City in securing them.

4. EXISTING STATUS The following section describes the current known status of the equipment serving the recreation center.
4.1. Distribution Systems
It was noted in the kW to replace pipework. Typical Pipe & Supports Economic Lifespans are as follows:
Copper – 45 years Steel (closed) – 35 years Ductile Iron Drainage – 40 years
The existing pipework is 35 years in operation, so steel pipes are ready for assessment however no failures or leaks have been mentioned. There has been concern over scaling in the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) pipes impacting flow to the bathroom fixtures. Ductwork has a typical economic lifespan of 40 years. Building controls are utilizing a pneumatic system.
4.2. Boilers
Two cast iron atmospheric boilers provide heating to the Air Handling Units (AHUs) sand Fan Coil Units (FCUs). The heating hot water (HHW) is circulated through the building using two constant-speed pumps. These boilers are around 85% efficient in operation and have reached the end of their typical economic lifespan.

4.6. Water Quality
The incoming water quality levels was obtained from the city’s water department and is reported to between 9-14 grains per gallon (gpg). The water quality is deemed safe for consumption though it is hard .
5. SUMMARY OF CONCERNS WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS Pneumatic controls are near end of their life cycles and are no longer typical for maintenance The hot water heaters are near the end of their lifespan. The boilers are near the end of their lifespan and are inefficient compared to current standards. Scaling has been an issue in the shower rooms and has caused damages to the fixtures. Hot water takes excessive time to reach the fixtures. Pumps are near the end of their lifespan AHUs are near end of their lifespan Cooling is desired for gym, racquet ball court, rock climbing, weightlifting, machine rooms and running
track due to warm temperatures during summer. FCUs are near the end of their lifespan

7.3. Water Treatment Selection
Water Softener Systems are commonly used for treating hard water by removing minerals from water through ion exchange. It consists of a Mineral Tank, Control Valve and a Brine Tank. With time and depending on the hardness level of the water, the salt in the tanks may need to be replace as much as once a month. On top of this maintenance cost, the initial cost of the system is high.
Figure 13 Water Softener System
A cost effective, maintenance free solution to resolving this issue is to use a Coil Based Physical Water Treatment such as the Yarna CED48 Capacitive Electronic Water Descaler.
Figure 14 Yarna CED48 Capacitive Electronic Water Descaler
This solution protects metal against corrosion and works well for piping in soil. It works by sending electric waves to break down the crystals that causes limescale and transforms the minerals into ions. This results in a significant reduction in limescale.
Using a Flow-Tech Water Treatment System, we reduce limescale when installed at water supply entering the building. This is a cost-effective, low maintenance solution when compared to traditional water softener systems.
It works by creating a low frequency signal that is pulsed several thousand times per second. The signal neutralizes the charge on suspended particles which allows scale forming minerals to form seed crystals that is easily washed away.

7.4. Boiler Options
For direct replacement of the boilers, our simulation results using IESVE tool indicated that the load for the space is 105 MBH per boiler. Based on this, we suggest three options for boiler selection and associated efficiency and costs as shown in Table 5:
Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
Efficiency High High High
Cost Low Med High
Make & Model Baxi Lochinvar Noble Lochinvar Knight Table 6 Low Cost (Option 1), Medium Range (Option 2), and High Efficiency (Option 3) Boilers Options
7.4.1. Low Cost Option
The Baxi Combi Boiler (a combination of ‘combi’ boiler is both a high efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler in a single compact unit) is an example of wall-mounted modulating on-demand, condensing boiler that gives an endless supply of hot water. It is cost-efficient as it only produces hot water when it is needed. It takes far less space than the current boilers and is traditionally used in larger homes or small buildings and/or offices. If high discharge temp unit(s) are selected, and when used in tandem configuration and coupled with a storage tanks(s), this type of unit could successfully be used in this system design.
Figure 6 Baxi Combi Boiler (Low cost option)
Page 19 of 21
7.4.2. Medium Cost Option The Lochinvar Noble Combi Boiler is a multi-material connector that allows any piping material to connect to the boiler directly without the needs of an adapter. The fire tube design has a higher heat transfer coefficient than traditional heat exchangers. It is commercial grade construction and has a rugged design for improved reliability and is typically used in small- to medium-sized facilities.
Figure 7 Lochinvar Noble Boiler (Medium Cost Option)
7.4.3. High Cost Option
The Lochinvar Knight High-Efficiency Boiler is an example of a top-of-the-line commercial boiler that comes in wall-mounted and floor-mounted version. It comes with a variable speed ECM pump that helps save electricity and lower operating cost. It also comes with smart features and is BMS compatible.

Figure 8 Lochinvar Knight Boiler (High Cost/High Efficiency Option)
7.5. Domestic Hot Water Heater Selections
There are different Water Heaters the Design Studio have selected for different budgets and based on the distance between the Water Heater and fixtures requiring hot water.
The most cost-effective solution is to use a Combi Hydronic Boiler/Water Heater like the Lochinvar Knight mentioned in the Boilers section above. While this will avoid the need of have a separate fixture for Domestic Hot Water and reduce maintenance significantly, both the building heating and hot water would be compromised if the Combi unit(s) were to break down if a redundant unit isn’t supplied. Another issue is when at peak hot water demand, the Combi unit will prioritize hot water and reduce the building heating to compensate. A mixing valve could be added to offset this problem.
Due to a only few number of fixtures needing hot water, installing a Point of Use Instantaneous Water Heater is another energy and cost-efficient solution to consider. This avoids the need of having two storage tank water heaters or circulating pumps. They are compact design and can fit under a sink and are vandal resistant.
(a) (b) Figure 9 a) Current Method of supplying Hot Water and b) Using a point-of-use Chronomite
As the boiler room is in close proximity of water fixtures demanding hot water, using a storage type water heater similar to a Bock OT400 with a 119 gal storage tank would be sufficient and will allow for higher peak demands for short periods at 550.4 GPH. Hot water will reach the fixture in a short period of time.
Figure 10 Bock OT400 Storage Type Water Heater
7.5.1. Circulating Pumps
For the purpose of budgetary comparisons, a Circulating Pump should be considered for Storage Type Water Heater until a pipe analysis is conducted, similar to a B&G NBF-25 supplying will 5 GPM @ 15’ TDH (Total Develop Head).

Figure 11 Intellihot iN501 Instantaneous Water Heater
For instantaneous water heater solutions, using a single Intellihot iN501 Water Heater or something similar will meet with hot water demands at maximum probable demand of 4 GPM. This Water Heater produces 16.1 GPM @ a 60F rise (40-105F).
