TECHNCIAL REPORT
The outcomes of these upgrades include an estimated savings to the City and the power grid of 720 kilowatts in peak energy load. This outcome includes the benefit of lower operating costs for the City, conservation of energy resources and increased availability of energy to the grid during peak times of energy use. The goals and objectives of the HVAC upgrades are to replace equipment as old as twenty-three (23) years in five different facilities. The project will upgrade some facilities from SEER ratings of 9 to SEER ratings of 14 at a savings of 556 kilowatt hours per ton (savings depends on specific size of the system). In addition to these objectives, the project will also install comprehensive HVAC control systems to maximize the efficiency of all HVAC upgrades. The expected outcomes of these upgrades emphasize savings capture; it is anticipated to save the City’s 42% in space heating and cooling costs.
