National Grid Your Partner in Energy Solutions

1. National GridYour Partner in Energy Solutions Internal National Grid Labs Webinar March 15, 2016 Presented by: Tom Coughlin | National Grid

2. Where do you start? • Assistance with new construction and retrofit • Utilities can take the lead in helping develop a plan • Work with our experts or yours • Assistance with the cost of identifying your opportunities • outside of energy savings • Health and Safety • Safety study • Often involves High performance hood conversions • Better capture of contaminants • Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance • Corrects issues with room pressurization • Often knock off deferred maintenance issues • So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

3. New Projects • Experience with private sector and universities • Includes Sherman Center Worcester and Tufts projects • Utilities can take the lead in helping develop a plan • Work with our experts or yours • Assistance with the cost of identifying your opportunitiesbest benefits are outside of energy savings • Health and Safety • Safety study • Often involves High performance hood conversions • Better capture of contaminants • Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance • Corrects issues with room pressurization • Often knock off deferred maintenance issues • So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

4. Retrofit Projects • Buildings of all sizes and vintages • 15 plus significant projects • Fantastic results with buildings only 1 to 5 years old • benefits are outside of energy savings • Health and Safety • Safety study • Often involves High performance hood conversions • Better capture of contaminants • Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance • Corrects issues with room pressurization • Often knock off deferred maintenance issues • So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

5. Specific opportunities • Ventilation projects dominate • LED lighting in full force • Ends maintenance in hard to access labs • Vacuum pumps and Chiller plants are strong • benefits are outside of energy savings • Health and Safety • Safety study • Often involves High performance hood conversions • Better capture of contaminants • Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance • Corrects issues with room pressurization • Often knock off deferred maintenance issues • So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

6. Bonus benefits • Health and safety improvements • Safety study • High performance hood conversions • Improved capture of contaminantes • Deferred maintenance addressed • Often corrects issues from day 1 start up • benefits are outside of energy savings • Health and Safety • Safety study • Often involves High performance hood conversions • Better capture of contaminants • Deals with poor supply air distribution interfering with hood performance • Corrects issues with room pressurization • Often knock off deferred maintenance issues • So often corrects issues that have existed since day one operation

7. How much do you get? • Retrofit incentives as high as $750,000 from NGRID • Incentives from Gas and electric utilities in MA and RI

8. Latest Project Built in 2005 45% of the building used for lab activities 39,000 SF Potential Reduce ventilation by 46% Reduce electric use by 35% Reduce gas use by 50% Savings potential over $100,000 / year

9. High Performance Hoods Available as retrofit kits Proven safer “capture” of contaminants Payback in 4 to 5 years ( approx $6,000 / hood) (without incentives)

10. Where do savings come from? Ventilation Energy Use is #1 100% Outside air 8760 hours a year One typical 6’ wide fume hood can cost $4 to $5,000/ year to ventilate!
