Customer: FSNM, contact: Debbie ConwayGuide: Brian Thorn

P09453

General Update/ProgressFirst site visit, Saturday 12/13

Refined customer needs, tour, pictures and data collection

Completed utilities bills database – current energy profile

Gathering energy consumption of current systemsAnalyzing building envelopeTesting energy analysis softwarePreliminary impact of ECMs

FSNM ‘Concept’ Generation2 project components have concept generation needs:

Energy conservation measures (ECMs) applicable to FSNMPilot renewable energy scale-project

At this point, only high level renewable energy conceptsAdditional research and project components required

Renewable energy concepts for further evaluation: Solar Power Wind Power Geothermal Power Biomass

FSNM Energy Conservation ConceptsBroken into short and long term concepts

Short term: operation & maintenance approach, low cost replacements and or upgrades

Long term: retrofit through replacement, upgrade systems

Generated from site visit and current available data

Short term:Willett Center Concepts:

Reduce lighting system load during non-peak operation Adjust operational hours during non-peak operations Utilize window shades more efficiently for heating/cooling Use high efficiency light blubs where possible Repair duct leaks Adopt all energy star products

FSNM Energy Conservation ConceptsShort term continued:

Willett Center Improve door and window seals Implement tinted or reflective glass Adjust exhibit zone temperature range Install ceiling fans in exhibit section

Fort and Site-wide concepts: Employee training program Solar powered walk way lights Replace T12 with T8 lights Replace kitchen and auditorium equipment

Long term (ongoing concept generation, data driven):Replace AC units in FortInsulate attic space more efficiently in Willett CenterImplement heat pumps (renewable energy)
