1 GREEN GOWN AWARD 2008 DALHOUSIE BUILDING DEREK MITCHELL ENERGY MANAGER JUNE 2009

2 The Project Take a previously untapped source of heat from our CHP Plant and use it to provide most of the heat required for our new Dalhousie building. 3 heat exchangers were fitted in the lubricating oil circuit of the 3 Jenbacher CHP engines providing low grade heat at 47/37 deg C flow and return temperatures. Run over 150 metres of 125mm ID flow and return Pipe 2000 plastic pipework between the Boilerhouse and Dalhousie Building. Plant within the Dalhousie building was oversized to accommodate the lower design temperatures.

3 Other Environmental Features Air conditioning in only one Lecture theatre controlled by CO2 detector Natural ventilation in all other rooms Solar shading Enhanced U Values Lighting control systems Inverter drives on air handling plant Power factor correction

4 Secrets of our Success Innovation Determination Teamwork Post-Evaluation

5 Innovation 1976 – District heating scheme 1997 – 3 MW combined heat & power plant 1998 - Free Cooling Air Blast Radiator System 2000 – Building Energy Management System 2001 – Micro CHP 2007 – Absorption Chiller (Tri-Generation)
