An energy-conservation study of Building 121, Experimental Physics, at LLL was performed. The survey was based on a detailed review of the as-built drawings, several on-site inspections of the 92,000-ft/sup 2/ building, and discussions with the building manager and various operating personnel. Data were collected regarding the number of people occupying the building, operating schedules, and the energy loads imposed by installed and temporary equipment. The HVAC systems were carefully investigated. Thirteen potential energy-conservation opportunities (ECO's) were identified and evaluated. The building energy systems were simulated using the DOE-1 energy program. A base-year energy-consumption run was made, together with simulations of the building's performance assuming installation of the various ECO's. Energy savings and payback periods were calculated for the various alternative ECO's.
