$2,340,000 Minor Construction Water Pollution Abatement not included.

PROJECT: Provides necessary improvements, alterations, upgrade and repair to existing structures and utility systems to reduce energy consumption. REQUIREMENT: Continue to reduce energy consumption.

CURRENT SITUATION: The buildings and utility systems involved were originally designed and constructed using criteria of an earlier, less energy-conscious era. Drastic rise in fuel costs and decreasing supply of energy resources make it no longer economically feasible or prudent to allow these conditions to remain unchanged.

IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: A serious waste of energy will continue. ADDITIONAL: The energy conservation program includes the following projects:

Facility Energy Improvements

These projects are either combinations of work from several of the energy conservation categories, or retrofits that are not defined by other energy conservation categories. Retrofits such as air curtains for door entrances, reduction of excess glass area, and efficiency improvements to compressed air systems are contained in this category.

Many installations use central boiler plants to produce steam or high temperature water which is transferred throughout the installation in a distribution system. This steam or high-temperature water is used for heating and industrial process functions. Many of these distribution systems were built when designs and economic conditions did not warrant current efficiency standards. In addition, the energy efficiency of many of these distribution systems has deteriorated. Major energy savings can be achieved through the installation of condensate return lines and looped systems to permit plant shutdown during low-load summer months, as well as modernization and rehabilitation of existing lines, including improved insulation and steam flow metering and controls.

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning

Many of the heating and air conditioning systems of older buildings were designed on a lowest initial cost basis. With present higher energy costs, controls can be added and modifications made to many of these systems resulting in energy savings and lower life-cycle costs while still providing the environmental conditioning requirements.
