Medford Aquatic Center
Plan for Energy Efficiency and Solar resources

Energy Efficiency: Natural Gas Water Heating
Recommendation: Design for: Condensing boilers that provide efficiencies over 90% compared to 80% or less for industry standard. Condensing boilers qualify for utility incentives!

Energy Efficiency – Electrical
Recommendation: Design for: Premium efficiency motors, pumps and drives, HVAC and lighting to save power.
Apply to Energy Trust for incentives.

Solar Resources: Plumb for Solar Ready
Recommendation: Plumb for Solar:Preheat water with solar to
reduce natural gas use. Only to be considered on year-a-round facilities.
May not be cost effective at this time.

Water Heating - Solar
Recommendation: Solar water heating can offset natural gas but should only be considered on year-a-round facilities. Natural gas has no “net metering” that banks credit by spinning the meter backward, so solar water heating has to offset actual use!

Solar Electric – Wire Solar Ready
Recommendation: Wire for Solar: Year around savings. Offsets peak demand. Net metering provides savings even when the aquatic center is not used. Currently may not be cost effective. Prices are dropping.
Incentives: Energy Trust: $.75-1.25/watt. Max $150,000

Solar Ready-Electric
Recommendation: Make facility ready for solar PV installation.
South facing roof or solar shade ~27º pitch
Architectural standing seam roof
Conduits and space for inverter

Renewable Incentives: Energy Trust-BETC - Federal
Recommendations: Plan to apply for applicable incentives
Energy Trust-Yes Federal 30% - N/A BETC: (BETC new
rules 1-1-2012)– Conservation – Yes– Renewable - No
