11 Achieving Green Savings and Sustainability

12 PSL – Rodney’s Journey Saw opportunity as DEC director a Ware Presbyterian Village Began purchasing natural gas for Ware only Learned about sourcing, weather, human behavior Moved to sourcing all PSL natural gas

13 PSL – Rodney’s Journey Human behavior and education  Changing habits  Mark lights to be turned off  Manage peak electric loads  Give people a reason to change

14 PSL – Rodney’s Journey Simple fixes (low hanging fruit)  Timers, sensors, photo cells  Proper maintenance of equipment  Contract vs in-house  Conversions for oil to gas  HVAC replacement of old obsolete systems  Lighting replacement

15  A energy team visited every facility and observed specific challenges and opportunities  Team members:  Rodney Fenstermacher, Corporate Director of Plant Operations  Energy Consultant  Energy Engineer  Documented results of every visit, estimated savings, and then change started PSL Analysis & Low Hanging Fruit

unit Hud 202, 2 nd Street, Harrisburg, built in 1968  Received a PHFA Smart Rehab Grant  Replace PTAC units  Re-sealed windows  Low flow toilets  Energy star appliances  Other building envelop sealing Savings Example Presbyterian Apartments

unit Hud 202, 2 nd Street, Harrisburg, built in 1968  2010 Energy and utility spend $318K  2012 Energy and utility spend$205  $113k savings annually – About a 7 year payback! Electric saved $89k Gas saved $10k Water and sewer $14k Often the simple stuff saves the most – blocking and tackling Savings Example - Presbyterian Apartments

19  Although PSL began energy sourcing in 2003 or so, it was inconsistent, and poorly coordinated.  Sourcing bulk metered electric at several locations can produce significant savings.  We also obtain savings by bulk purchasing individual accounts (which we pay for) but this is always less than bulk metering. Bulk buying electricity has averaged 20% savings vs market rates. 20% of $4 million is $800k. Probably because of individual metering we are saving $400k to $500k annually. In the Meantime - Sourcing

20  Natural gas prices are somewhat more volatile. Savings in the $50k to $100k a year range. In the Meantime - Sourcing

21  We have the largest solar array in the State of Maryland supplying 75% of our electric needs at a fixed rate for 20 years. And… Opportunities Began to Emerge Produces approximately $120,000 a month in electricity
