1 Retrocommissioning Program UBS 677 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT

2 Definition Retrocommissioning (RCx) is a program that seeks maximum performance efficiency through the optimization of existing building systems.

3 Ideal RCx Candidate Good Building Management System Well maintained facility Good record documentation Knowledgeable operations staff Good vendor relationships Willingness to collaborate

4 RCx Process Phase 1  Scoping study  RCx investigation Phase 2  Recommendations and priorities  RCx implementation Phase 3  Verification of results  Persistence monitoring Documentation Training

5 Goals of RCx Program Energy savings Cost savings Establish an eco-friendly corporate culture Future development of workable cost-effective solutions

6 677 Washington Blvd Major Financial Center Occupying 1.4 MM SQ-FT  Trading Operations – 125,000 SQ-FT  Mission Critical Data Center – 30,000 SQ-FT  Offices – 600,000 SQFT  Kitchen/Cafeteria – 35,000 SQ-FT  Atrium – 13,000 SQFT  Parking – 640,000 SQ-FT Energy profile of 48 MM kWH per year

7 RCx Findings Central Plant & HVAC Systems  Chilled water temperatures operated on a fixed scale.  “Free” cooling was part of a scheduled program.  Many of the pumps were driven by constant speed motors regardless of demand.  Obvious inefficiencies in the piping system.  Excessive electric heat – 2 mW. Lighting Systems  Inefficiency of the dimming system on the trading floor.  Garage lighting operating on a 24x7 basis.  Excessive off-hours lighting.

8 Target Reductions Electrical  Consumption kWH: 5 to 10% Reduction.

9 RCx Examples Piping Upgrades  Condenser water flow control upgrades were made through changes in operation as well as the elimination of extraneous piping loops. Central Plant Equipment Upgrades  Many of the motors used for primary pumping were optimized for variable speed drives. Lighting Upgrades  Dimming systems optimized in the trading area and atrium.  Off-hours lighting controlled by sensors that are linked time clocks.

10 Results Overall per month reduction of 3,840,000 kWH (average). Overall annual cost savings of $614,000. CO2 reduction of 1,106 tons.

11 Future Goals Incorporation into our LEED certification program. Initiate RCx for all facilities.
