tOPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT

TRIBAL GAMING FACILITIES

Agenda

• Facility Benchmarking• Building Energy Codes• Energy Audits• Energy Efficiency Opportunities• On-site Generation and Energy Storage

Opportunities

Why Energy Efficiency??

• Creates local economic development opportunities• One of the most affordable and immediate ways to

improve – energy self-sufficiency– control energy costs– improve local air quality and public health– limit a community’s carbon emissions and insulate its

exposure to climate impacts

IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITY

Facility Benchmarking

• Benchmarking the energy performance of your buildings is a key first step to understanding and reducing energy consumption

• Benchmarking drives action and works best when it’s done consistently over time

• Sometimes required for utility rebate and incentive programs or by state or local policies

Energy Codes• International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) • American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and

Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)– AHSRAE 90.1

• Adoption and incorporation into building design and construction by local jurisdictions– Title 24, part 6

Energy Codes• Code benefits

– Reduced energy consumption– Building owner cost savings– Reduced CO2 emissions

• Code challenges– Adoption, implementation, compliance, and

enforcement challenges– Lack of training and manpower are roadblocks to

proper enforcement

Energy Audits

• Identify and provide the savings and cost analyses of all practical energy efficiency measures

• May also provide a listing of potential capital-intensive improvements that require more thorough data collection and engineering analysis

ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES

Lighting

• Lower wattage fluorescent lamps• Light emitting diodes (LEDs)

– Reduces downtime and labor costs– Reduces cooling requirements

(interior lighting)

• Delamping• Skylights or daylighting

Lighting

• Venue Lighting• Parking lot lighting• Slot machines• Overhead lighting• Hotel room lighting

HVAC Systems

• Higher efficiency equipment– Coefficient of Performance (COP)– Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)– Annual Fuel Utilization

Efficiency (AFUE)

• Insulating pipes and ducts• Variable Air Volume Systems

Motors and Pumps

• Premium efficiency Motors and Pumps– Fountains, domestic water pumps, pool/spa pumps,

etc.

• Variable Speed Drives

Controls

• Commissioning (Cx)• Retrocommissioning (RCx) and

Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx)

• Energy Management Systems (EMS)• Measurement and Verification (M&V)

Controls

• Lighting– Multi-level lighting controls– Automatic daylighting controls– Occupancy sensors– Bi-level lighting in secondary spaces– Demand response controls – Photosensors and automatic scheduling

Controls

• HVAC– Smart thermostats – Economizers– Demand Control Ventilation– Temperature resets (water and air side)– Static pressure reset– Variable speed motors and drives– Control sequence/scheduling optimization

Computers, Appliances and Other Plug Loads

• Vending machine controls• Smart power strips• Power management software• Data Center Optimization

ON-SITE GENERATION AND STORAGE

On-Site Generation and Storage

• Combined Heat and Power (CHP)• Solar Thermal

– Central heating systems, Domestic hot water, laundry facilities

• Solar Photovoltaics (PV)• Wind

On-Site Generation and Storage

• Thermal Energy Storage• Electric Energy Storage

Leveraging Available Programs

• Local Utility Programs– Rebates, incentives, financing, technical assistance

• State or Federal Programs– DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP)– Self-Generation Incentive Program (CA only)

• Third Party Performance Contracts
