Title: A field demonstration of automatic restroom ventilation control to reduce energy consumption

Abstract

This report documents the motion sensor evaluation task for the Hanford Energy Management Committee (HEMC) performed by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) to support the energy reduction mission. The study included installing automatic exhaust ventilation controls in the restrooms of the 1103 Building, 100N area. The goal of this task was to measure the benefit of automatically controlling exhaust ventilation in restrooms of an office building on the Hanford Site. The HEMC belief is that the value of controlling the fans is not limited to the power consumed by the fans, but also includes the value invested to condition (heat or cool) the makeup air. The air exhausted to the exterior of the building must ultimately be replaced by unconditioned air from the outside. This outside air must then by conditioned to maintain the comfort of building occupants. 6 figs., 1 tab.

  • This report discusses and assesses two types of programs for conserving energy used for space heating, space cooling, and domestic water heating in residential buildings with one to four dwelling units. One type of program directly installs or ensures the installation of weatherization measures; the other features workshops that demonstrate the installation and use of weatherization measures, encourage energy-conserving behavior, and provide kits of low-cost measures in some instances. Information was gathered on nearly 60 programs. However, for only 19 of them were both cost and energy savings data available to allow a comparison of effectiveness. With the ratio ofmore » total cost to average annual energy savings taken as the measure of program effectiveness, it was found that programs installing low-cost measures, usually infiltration measures, had simple payback periods of two years or less and significantly smaller cost/energy savings ratios than programs installing major weatherization measures, such as insulation and storm windows. For most programs, percentage energy savings, measured from analysis of utility bills, were in the range of 12 to 14%. The demonstration workshop programs rarely acquired information on energy savings or conservation actions taken by attendees subsequent to the workshops. Most of the programs that achieved relatively low costs per participant did so through having well-attended workshops and/or low costs per workshop. 79 refs., 48 tabs.« less

    Domestic hot water (DHW) heating is the second largest energy end use in U.S. buildings, exceeded only by space conditioning. Recirculation systems consisting of a pump and piping loop(s) are commonly used in multifamily buildings to reduce wait time for hot water at faucets; however, constant pumping increases energy consumption by exposing supply and return line piping to continuous heat loss, even during periods when there is no demand for hot water. In this study, ARIES installed and tested two types of recirculation controls in a pair of buildings in order to evaluate their energy savings potential. Demand control, temperaturemore » modulation controls, and the simultaneous operation of both were compared to the baseline case of constant recirculation. Additionally, interactive effects between DHW control fuel reductions and space conditioning (heating and cooling) were estimated in order to make more realistic predictions of the payback and financial viability of retrofitting DHW systems with these controls. Results showed that DHW fuel consumption reduced by 7% after implementing the demand control technique, 2% after implementing temperature modulation, and 15% after implementing demand control and temperature modulation techniques simultaneously; recirculation pump runtime was reduced to 14 minutes or less per day. With space heating and cooling interactions included, the estimated annual cost savings were 8%, 1%, and 14% for the respective control techniques. Possible complications in the installation, commissioning and operation of the controls were identified and solutions offered.« less

    Through mass-balance modeling of various ventilation scenarios that might satisfy the ASHRAE 62.1 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Procedure, we estimate indoor concentrations of contaminants of concern (COCs) in California “big box” stores, compare estimates to available thresholds, and for selected scenarios estimate differences in energy consumption. Findings are intended to inform decisions on adding performance-based approaches to ventilation rate (VR) standards for commercial buildings. Using multi-zone mass-balance models and available contaminant source rates, we estimated concentrations of 34 COCs for multiple ventilation scenarios: VRmin (0.04 cfm/ft2 ), VRmax (0.24 cfm/ft2 ), and VRmid (0.14 cfm/ft2 ). We compared COC concentrationsmore » with available health, olfactory, and irritant thresholds. We estimated building energy consumption at different VRs using a previously developed EnergyPlus model. VRmax did control all contaminants adequately, but VRmin did not, and VRmid did so only marginally. Air cleaning and local ventilation near strong sources both showed promise. Higher VRs increased indoor concentrations of outdoor air pollutants. Lowering VRs in big box stores in California from VRmax to VRmid would reduce total energy use by an estimated 6.6% and energy costs by 2.5%. Reducing the required VRs in California’s big box stores could reduce energy use and costs, but poses challenges for health and comfort of occupants. Source removal, air cleaning, and local ventilation may be needed at reduced VRs, and even at current recommended VRs. Also, alternative ventilation strategies taking climate and season into account in ventilation schedules may provide greater energy cost savings than constant ventilation rates, while improving IAQ.« less

  • The Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) serves Long Island and a small section of Queens, New York, with electricity and gas. The company has under construction one nuclear-powered, 830-MW electric generating plant, the Shoreham, scheduled to come on-line late in 1978; in addition, LILCO has made application to construct two new nuclear plants in the town of Riverhead in Suffolk County, Long Island; Jamesport I and Jamesport II, each with a capacity of 1150 MW are planned to come on-line in 1982 and 1984, respectively. LILCO's justification for these two new plants is based on the system required to meetmore » the loads which, according to their forecasts, will occur during the period 1975-1995. The projection of the peak electric demand and the yearly consumption of electricity and the method of forecasting (exponential smoothing analysis) by LILCO are analyzed. An intensive energy conservation program coupled with a modest solar energy system for domestic hot water and space heating and cooling is shown to have the potential of reducing the normal loads to the extent that not only could the Jamesport I and II plants be cancelled, but also that the completion of the Shoreham plant could be delayed. The potential of the wind energy available over Long Island is shown to exceed all of its energy requirements for the next twenty years. On-site total energy systems and the use of solid waste for fuel are cited as two additional measures to further reduce the need for raw source energy (fossil fuel or nuclear), for central electric generating plants.
