Site and Building Energy-Conservation Study: Survey of Building 435, MFE Research

摘要

An energy-conservation study of Building 435, Magnetic Fusion Energy Research, at LLL was conducted. It was based on a review of the design drawings, an on-site inspection of the 49,700-ft exp 2 building, and discussions with the building manager and various operating personnel. Data were collected regarding the number of people occupying the building, operating schedules, and the energy loads imposed by installed and temporary equipment. The HVAC systems were investigated. The building energy systems were simulated using the DOE-1 energy program. A base-year energy consumption run was made, together with simulations of the building's performance assuming installation of each of eleven energy-conservation opportunities (ECO's) identified. A summary of the energy savings that would results from implementation of the ECO's is given. (ERA citation 05:017804)
