  1. Understanding Energy Use Frank Rendina NYPD

  2. The Police Academy

  3. Possible Causes • Additional steam consuming equipment • Leaks in the steam lines • Leaky steam traps • Faulty equipment

  4. Typical Hourly Usage

  5. Operating Characteristics of Facility • Classes are held 18 hours/day • Facility has cadets, Traffic, School Safety and civilian classes all through the day. • Classes end by midnight.

  6. The Showers

  7. Existing System

  8. The Solution • Install low flow shower heads • Include individual isolation valves

  9. The Calculations • Typical flow = 3.5 gallons/min • Q= M C Delta T • Q for 1 faucet= 78,750 BTU/hr • Q for 55 faucets= 4,331,250 BTU/hr • Typical flow = 5 gallons/min • Q= M C Delta T • Q for 1 faucet= 112,500 BTU/hr • Q for 10 faucets= 1,125,000 BTU/hr Combined Q= 5,456,250 BTU/hr

  10. The Energy Savings Assumption: 15% the total number of showers are used during the day. Potential Savings using 2.0 gpm shower heads only: 56,953,125 BTU/Month Potential Cost Savings for August: $4,422.90

  11. Lessons Learned • Understand how the building is being used • Expect the unlikely • Exhaust all avenues • Have fun doing it

  12. Questions
