Executive Summary

New Paradigm Group is excited to propose this comprehensive energy analysis for the

Milwaukee School of Engineering’s (MSOE) Walter Schroeder Library building. Our initial

examination revealed that this specific building consumed an incredible amount of

electricity. Approximately 3,408 Mega-watt hours in the last 12 months!

Our team of energy specialists approached the project on three fronts to reduce the

Library’s electrical energy consumption. First was to reduce the lighting loads with more

efficient fixtures and the addition of lighting controls. Second was to offset the cooling

and electric heating operations with a Power Therm system that uses natural gas to fire an

absorption chiller, provide domestic hot water, and electricity as a byproduct. Third, we

proposed a solar photovoltaic array and wind generator to reduce the electrical demand

from the local utility. These efforts will reduce the electrical consumption by 19.9% (Table

3.1).

This detailed proposal by New Paradigm Group includes extensive information, product cut

sheets, and full estimations for each of the proposed systems. Included is a construction

schedule, financing plan, and potential LEED credits for the system implementations. We

also have provided an arch flash analysis for all of the electrical distribution to provide arc

flash hazard labels to protect personnel and property.

New Paradigm Group requests a 1.4 multiplier be applied to the lighting and controls

analysis, a 1.0 multiplier to the energy use analysis, and a 0.6 multiplier to the renewable

systems analysis.

For over a hundred years, MSOE has prided themselves on “progressive programs of technical

education.” Founded by Oscar Werwath in 1903, MSOE continues to focus on providing

students with an educational experience in engineering, construction management, nursing,

and business that integrates theory with real-world applications. In doing so, graduates receive

a well-rounded and technological background which helps them become highly productive

professionals and industry leaders.

MSOE has a proven track record on their commitment to sustainability and being responsible

stewards to the environment. The university has a dedicated website (http://www.msoe.edu/

about_msoe/green/) which exemplifies their

achievements and initiatives taken. The latest acclaim

to sustainability is for 2010, in which MSOE was named

“one of the country’s most environmentally responsible

colleges” according to Princeton Review.

New Paradigm Group recognizes MSOE as a proactive

community leader in the promotion and investment of

sustainable efforts. The university is in the heart of

downtown Milwaukee a prime real estate location,

which has experienced an increasing number of renovations and new construction

condominium projects. Putting teachings into practice would give MSOE a “greener existence”

within the neighborhood and turn their prime location into energy-efficient property.

The average age of the buildings on campus is 55 years-old. Nine out of the fifteen buildings

have been renovated into educational buildings,

including the 1987 renovation of the Blatz Brewhouse

into the Campus Center (Figure 4.1). With multiple

aging buildings, MSOE is a prime candidate for energy

efficient upgrades.

New Paradigm Group has assessed the university’s older

building stock and has identified the 33 year-old Walter

Schroeder Library as a prime retrofit candidate. The

52,000 square foot buildings consists of (3) floors with multiple rooms per floor. Upon the site

visit and initial assessment of the existing conditions within the Library, New Paradigm Group

immediately observed that minimal upgrades have been made to the electrical, mechanical, and

plumbing systems. MSOE understands the benefits from more efficient and updated equipment

and systems. Therefore, New Paradigm Group has been contracted to perform a comprehensive

energy audit, followed by implementation of load-reduction measures with intentions and

renewable-energy system installations.

Energy Use Analysis

Based on the customer’s electric utility bill for the last year, compared to the size of the

building (~50,000 SF), the consumption was higher than average. A typical commercial

building consumes about (5.9) watts per square foot and the Library calculates out to (7.78)

watts per square foot; about 25% more than a modern facility. This presents a great

opportunity for New Paradigm Group to provide energy saving and efficiency measures, that

will benefit both parties.

Lighting Retrofit: Existing Conditions

The Milwaukee School of Engineering library building has (3) floors, with two of them being

identical study floors and the third consisting of offices and classrooms. Each floor is lit primarily

with fluorescent (3) lamp T8 lay-in fixtures. On the two study floors there is no switch to turn off

any of the fixtures, this means that they are on from open to close everyday of the week. This adds

up to over (90) hours a week!

The lighting controls throughout the library building vary. The classrooms consists of an

occupancy sensor in series with a toggle switch. The offices have dual level switching and the

library has a lighting contactor with the relays powering banks of toggle switches. Note the South

wall consists of a continuous curtain of windows, letting in a large amount of natural light, while

all of the lay in fixtures are all on!

Lighting Retrofit: Reflected Ceiling Plan

We at New Paradigm Group recommend a one-for-one replacement of all the three lamp

fluorescent T8 fixtures. Also, one lamp T8 cove fixtures will have an LED T8 lamps installed,

downlights and track fixtures will have compact LED lamps replacing the existing incandescent

and compact fluorescent lamps. The following floor plans show the reflected ceiling plan of the

study floors and the classroom/ office floor.

16

Lighting Retrofit: Light Level Calculations

Utilizing AGI32 to calculate the foot-candle light levels with the retrofit kits, and the available

daylight, we can show the MSOE Library will meet the recommended light level of (35) to (50)

foot-candles (Table 16.1), and also the 3rd floor

offices and classrooms. The Illuminating

Engineering Society (IES) develops standards,

design guides, and guidelines and calculation

guides that improve the lighted environment

and benefit the public. The IES publishes a

lighting handbook that is a recognized

Table 16.1: IES Recommended Lighting

Functional Area Light Level

Classrooms - standard 50 FC

Offices - private 35 FC

Library - stacks 35 FC

Library - reading area 50 FC

Figure 16.2: AGI32 Calculated Lighting Levels from sunlight only (Light Fixtures are

OFF).

Results

The AGI32 calculations for

our retrofit shows that we

will meet the

recommended levels with

an average of 41.8 foot

candles (FC) on average.

The AGI32 calculations

with light lights off and full

daylight (Figure 16.2)

indicate that natural light

levels around the first two

rows of lights from the

windows will exceed the

(90) FC level our daylight

sensor will be set at. This

confirms that the daylight

sensors will provide the

estimated energy savings

when the sun is out.

Figure 16.1: AGI32 Calculated Lighting Levels with Lights ON (No sunlight)

17

Lighting Retrofit Design: Assessment

New Paradigm Group assessed the existing lighting installed

throughout the MSOE Library, and immediately came to two

conclusions:

The existing 3-lamp parabolic fixtures (Figure 17.1) provide more light than needed

Modern fixtures will deliver the required light more efficiently

We initially considered replacing the existing parabolic fixtures

with LED fixtures or T8 retrofit kits (Figure 17.2). The cost of the

retrofit kits are about (1/3) the cost of the LED replacements,

factoring the lower power consumption of the LED fixtures is (12)

watts less. The lamps we chose are the Sylvania FO32/XPSS/

ECO3 that consume (28) watts each with an average life of

24,000 hours. This is (1/2) the life of the LED fixtures, but lamp

replacements run about $12.50 each, including labor. Comparing both options, the

LED is 15% more costly. We anticipate LED fixtures will continue

to decrease in cost, becoming the better option for future retrofit projects.

Next, there is a continuous row of (1) lamp T8 cove lights (Figure 17.3) that

illuminate the central corridor of the first and second floors. Here a LED

lamp for lamp swap will provide a more cost effective option. The retrofit

kit and the single LED lamp are virtually the same cost, but the lower

power consumption of the LED 4’ T8 lamp (Figure 17.4) is (18) watts,

compared to the (28) watts of the Sylvania lamp.

The Library has some track fixtures with MR16 lamps. We will replace

these lamps with more efficient MR16 LED lamps that last (10) times

longer and use 80% less energy.

The lobby areas of all three floors have compact fluorescent lamps that do

not illuminate these areas effectively. New Paradigm Group highly

suggests these (23) watt CFLs should be replaced with (15) watt PAR30

flood lamps that will do a better job lighting these lobby areas. In this

instance, we will not only provide a 35% reduction in energy consumption,

but improve the lighting dynamics of these areas.

Overall, the lighting retrofits will initially cost $50,648.00, and

$47,876.00 after incentives. With an annual energy savings of $22,356,

the payback is in just (2.14) years!

Lighting Retrofit: Light Fixture Recommendations

The figures below show renderings, created in AGI-32, of the new light fixtures in the study area of

the library. Figure 20.1 shows the lighting effect with the light fixtures on, where Figure 20.2

shows the effect of just daylight with the light fixtures off.

Figure 18.1: MSOE Library rendering with the Lights on

Figure 18.2: MSOE Library with just daylight; Lights are off

19

Lighting Controls Design: Assessment

Upon the initial visit of the MSOE Library, on a bright February

morning, it was difficult to ignore the abundance of natural light

streaming through the continuous windows that run the length of the

South wall (Figure 18.1). Our next observation was that all of the light

fixtures were on, and there were are no occupancy sensors or daylight

sensors installed throughout the library study area. This was the

same for both the first and second floors.

We propose adding daylight sensors with dual level switch

capability (Figure 18.2) . This way, the row of lights closest to the

windows will turn off when a level of at least (60) FC is reached, the

second row of lights will turn off at (90) FC . With a total of (86)

fixtures, consuming (56) watts each, and an average of (4.5) hours of

sunlight per day, a savings of $1,977 per year will be achieved.

Next, we will install dual technology occupancy sensors to control the

library lights by (1/4) zones of the entire space. During the first and

last hours of operation, much of the library is unoccupied, therefore

why illuminate the entire facility? Utilizing the infrared and

microphonic technology of the nLight nCM-PDT-10-2P, the false

“on’s” are eliminated, increasing the system’s efficiency functionality.

The best characteristics of the nLight system is the ease of

installation. All the devices are connected by a Category5 cable, which

does not require a raceway if plenum rated, reducing installation

costs. Up to 400 devices are connected to a nLight Gateway (Figure

18.3) that allows for on screen or a laptop connection to simply

program the system in just minutes. All the nLight components are

cost competitive with other devices, making this system the better

choice.

The nLight system can provide an energy savings of 40% or more,

according to their literature. With an initial cost of $7,920.00, a final

cost of $7,545.00 after incentives, and a calculated power

consumption of 67,240 kWh per year for the lights under control, a

payback can be realized in as little as 1.12 years! This is another

“must do” project for MSOE to consider.

Lighting Controls: Installation Plan

We at New Paradigm Group recommend the installation of dual-level daylight sensors to control the first two rows of fixtures closest to the windows. Occupancy sensors will control the open Library fixtures by the zones indicated in Figure 19.1 on both the first and second floors. Figure 19.2 shows where occupancy sensors will control the corridor lights on the 3rd floor. All the individual classrooms and offices already have occupancy sensors.

Figure 20.1: Daylight and Occupancy Sensor Layouts for the 1st and 2nd Floors

Figure 20.2: Occupancy Sensor Layout for the 3rd Floor Hallway

21

HVAC/Environmental Design: Assessment

The Library currently uses the original 150 ton electric

chiller/heat pump (Figure 21.1) with six 40kW electric

heating elements to supply the heating and cooling needs

of the building. The buildings total annual electricity

load is 3,408,000 kWh, at $0.25/kWh this is an annual

electricity cost of $852,000. Figuring the demand is 0.35

of the chiller/heatpump’s 400 amp 480 volt feeder, and

of the (6) 40 kW heating elements, the calculated annual

load is 1,755,419 kWh/year or 51% of the utility bill. The

cost for this power at $0.25 kWh is $438,854.75 per year!

Current System:

Proposed Energy Solution:

Because of the age of the building there have been many

advances in technology and we have decided to keep the

existing system but offset the cost by installing an

efficient Power Therm System: Hydrofire System (Figure

21.2). Power Therm Systems reduce fuel usage and energy

costs, capture and utilize wasted thermal energy, and

reduce the CO2 and greenhouse gases.

The Hydrofire System (Figure 21.3) uses a MicroTurbine

to directly exhaust into the boiler to heat the water . The

MicroTurbine Heat Recovery Module is used to product

hot water from the Microturbine exhaust. This hot water

can be used for domestic use, building heating, or process-

ing heating requirements. The Turbine System will in-

clude the following:

Capstone C65 Microturbine

Heat recovery module

Demand meter

One 89L Gang operated disconnect

One gas compressor

Yazaki 20 ton water fired absorption chiller

Serial to Ethernet controller for turbine

Software

Freight

Figure 21.1: Existing MSOE Library Chiller

Figure 21.3 :The Power Therm System

Figure 21.2: Power Therm Hydrofire

22

Monthly Savings Analysis:

The Hydro Chill system solution provides 12.9% of the electricity plus 48% of the heat cur-

rently used by the facility, which accounts for another 18.2% of the current annual electric-

ity consumed. The monthly net savings are $6,321.22 including maintenance.

Return on Investment:

The cost for the Power Therm System to be put into the library was bid at $500,000 from

Wesco Advanced Energy Solutions. With a $500,000 net lease amount , we could get a

return in 7.33 years with inflation, and with an uninflated simple return 6.51 years. These

returns assume annual rates of 3.00% for electricity, 3.00% for gas, and 13.00% for #6

heating oil.

Variable Frequency Drives

Another recommendation is to install variable frequency

drives (VFDs ) t0 the hot water and chilled water

pumps. VFDs work by allowing the motor to run at an

appropriate speed according to the load being placed on

the motor. A motor without a VFD runs at full speed and

higher amperage no matter how small the load is.

Adding these VFDs would be beneficial because they

would help reduce the pumps’ electricity consumption,

thus lowering the energy usage in the library. A payback

in less than 9 months is anticipated from installing these

VFDs.

Figure 22.1: Existing original starters for

the hot water pumps

The annual power produced by this 65 Kw system would be 483,000 kWh and the

maximum displaced heat from the cogen would be 24,000 Therms. This gives us an annual

energy savings of $88,516. including the cost of the cogen fuel used by the Hydrochill

System.

HVAC/Environmental Design: Assessment

23

Photovoltaic System Design: Assessment

Solar radiation has the highest power density compared to other renewable energy sources and

provides maximum power during peak demand hours. This makes it a more ideal source of

renewable energy source compared to wind energy. Several other benefits of harnessing the

sunlight using a PV system, include the following

Lower energy consumption

Savings on the electric utility bill

A reduction in the amount of green house gases emitted into the atmosphere

Another factor that will contribute to the performance of the modules is the operating

temperature and location of the array itself. Being located in Milwaukee, where the average

temperature is about 50°, photovoltaics arrays perform very efficiently. This is because high

temperatures decrease the performance and efficiency of photovoltaic arrays.

Therefore, being located in a cooler climate, the arrays have a higher electrical output because the

components are kept cool. A final advantage to being located in Milwaukee is that on clear days

when there is snow on the ground, the arrays can have up to a 60% output increase from the light

reflected off of the snow.

Figure 23.1: Example of a structurally mounted solar PV array; 20kW DC.

24

Photovoltaic System Design: Location Assessment

The roof of MSOE’s library is an ideal location for photovoltaics due to an unobstructed

southern exposure. Approximately 14,000 SF of roof space is available for photovoltaic arrays.

Benefits of a photovoltaic installation include:

The arrays would not be blocked from

the sun during the majority of the day

There are no tall nearby buildings or

structures nearby to cast shadows

The long side of the roof faces south,

allowing the arrays to face south and

receive the maximum amount of direct

sunlight

New Paradigm Group plans to install a 30 kW array on the roof of the library, which will help

to offset the electrical loads within the library. The arrays will be tilted at 35° to optimize the

amount of solar radiation collected by the arrays. The weight and area of the solar modules is

54 lbs. and 18 sq. ft., respectively. This corresponds to a load of 3 psf for the photovoltaic array.

However, the project team is concerned whether or not the roof can handle the additional

weight of the photovoltaic arrays. To ensure that the roof can handle the additional load, the

capacity of the roof was calculated using structural drawings of the library. The roof of the

library is a concrete slab with reinforcing steel. After calculating the capacity of the roof, it was

determined that the additional load would not cause any cause any problems with the libraries

roof.

Figure 24.1: MSOE Library Satellite View (Google Maps)

25

Photovoltaic System Design: Schematic Design

The one-line in Figure 25.1 depicts the proposed fixed/tilted array. The 30 kW utility-interactive

system will operate in parallel with a nearby panel in the library. The solar modules of the 30 kW

array will collect the sunlight and convert the solar radiation into DC current. The inverter will

then convert the DC current into AC current that can be used to help supplement existing

120/208V single phase loads in the library.

The array will be supported using a structural

direct mount system. This system has several

advantages:

The feet of the solar array connects directly to the underlying structure of the roof.

If the roof needs to be replaced or repaired, the pv system does not have to be disturbed.

The arrays sit several feet off the ground, which allows the snow to slide off of the arrays and not collect on top of the array.

Photovoltaic System Design: Material Estimate

As seen in Table 26.1, the solar modules and all of the components that will be needed will cost

$111,464.00. The 30 kW array will be composed of 120 solar modules, three 10,000 W inverters, a

racking system, flashing to surround the feet of the array, pipe, wire, and miscellaneous hardware.

There will be no shipping cost for the solar modules themselves because they can be picked up

directly from the supplier, which is located in downtown Milwaukee.

It is estimated that it will take (569) man hours to install the photovoltaic arrays. This amounts to

$39,506 after overhead and markup is added in. After taking into account a 30% depreciation and

adding markup to the materials, it is estimated that the it will cost $111,530 to install the arrays.

Using a PV watts, it is estimated that the 30 kW array will generate $9,644 of energy per year.

This amounts to a payback of 11.56 years. More detailed information about the schematic

estimate and payback can be found in the Appendix.

Utilizing Wind Energy

Wind is a natural resource that can be

harvested and used to generate power. Wind

power can save money and energy. By using a

renewable source of power such as wind, a

company can help offset rising utility costs and

they can reduce their dependence on the grid.

Why Wind?

There is another huge benefit for investing in a

wind turbine. There is a major shift in today’s

society thinking about being more

environmentally conscience. Installing a wind

turbine in front of the building will draw

attention from the public, it will let them know

that MSOE cares about doing their part to help

the environment. It will also be a learning tool

for the students on campus. The wind turbine

will be an interactive educational opportunity

that will teach students about renewable energy. It will be especially beneficial to the

architectural engineering students who will be dealing with them in the future. The mechanical

and electrical engineering students will also benefit from the opportunity to study all the

internal components of the turbine.

Utilizing Wind Energy

The major obstacle to deal with when installing a wind turbine is the extremely high initial

cost. It is an extremely big investment that needs to be considered carefully. Another

obstacle that needs to be considered is the location of the library. It is located near several

residential buildings. The noise and vibrations generated from a wind turbine would not be

appreciated by surrounding

residents.

When researching different wind

turbines we decided that Renewegy

offered the best choice. They are

located in Oshkosh Wisconsin,

which is about 90 miles away from

Milwaukee. This will cut down on

some of the transportation cost. It

will also allow MSOE to invest in a

local company.

Renewegy offers a smaller wind

turbine that is only 100’ tall and has

a diameter around 32’. A huge

benefit to installing this smaller

wind turbine is its ability to be maintained. The wind turbine is designed with the ability to

be tilted down to the ground which allows for easier maintenance. This particular wind

turbine is rated for 20kW, and runs at wind speeds of 3.5-25 mph. This is a much better

range than the standard wind turbine which starting wind speed required is 7.5mph. When

researching the feasibility of using a wind turbine, the local annual average wind speed was

found to be 12.5mph., which is about the

middle of the turbine’s range.

The payback for this particular wind turbine

is about 14 years. The team researched the

output of a wind turbine that was located

near our site, and averaged its output over

three months. We applied those numbers to

our turbine and came out with an output of

26,100kwh/year. This is about 0.9% of the

current power usage of the library.

Schematic Estimate

After an extensive evaluation, New Paradigm Group had determined that all of the proposed energy efficiency upgrades are feasible for the MSOE Library. We are excited to present our client with effective and efficient projects that will reduce their reliance on the local utility, and provide several educational examples for the esteemed school of engineering.

Our cost estimate includes:

A complete interior lighting retrofit upgrade

Intelligent Lighting Control system, featuring daylight and occupancy sensors

A 30,000 kW photovoltaic solar array

A 20,000 kW Wind Generator

A Power Therm System to offset the building environmental cooling, heating, and power from the local utility

All the total costs include materials, labor, supervision, equipment, waste and recycling, permits, fees, overhead, and profit. Material and equipment costs were provided by competitive quotes from vendors, such as:

WESCO Electric Supply (Solar and Power Therm System)

Viking Electric Supply (Lighting and Lighting Controls)

Werner Electric Supply (Renewegy Wind Generator)

All the Work for the projects will take place during normal hours, Monday through Friday. Labor rates and overhead are based on the current rates of the Milwaukee Area NECA Contractors, utilizing modified units of labor from PC based software.

Chart 29.1 represents the overall cost breakout, indicating that Materials make up the majority. Since Materials are a relatively fixed cost, and Labor is the greatest variable, the overall risk for this project is lower than most, making this a much more attractive project to pursue.

Schematic Schedule

New Paradigm took into consideration MSOE’s school schedule to minimize interference,

therefore we have scheduled the construction to begin and end in the summer months.

The schedule is broken into four main components, Lighting Retrofits and Controls, Power

Therm System, Solar Photovoltaic Array, and Wind Turbine. Our schedule accounts for a

typical 40 hour week with Saturday and Sunday being non working days as well as Memorial

day and Independence Day.

We will begin construction on May 29th and end with substantial completion on August 24th.

Below is a Gantt chart specifying start and end dates for individual activities.

Figure 31.1: Construction Schematic Schedule

32

Financing Plan: Grants, Rebates, and Incentives

New Paradigm Group set out to identify any and all applicable grants, rebates, and

incentives that our client would qualify for. Focus on Energy offers various incentives for

efficient lighting and controls upgrades (Table 32.1). These savings are included in the

detailed estimates found in the Appendix of this proposal.

Unfortunately, there are very limited options for a non-profit, tax exempt entity, such as

MSOE, for renewable energy projects. All utility non-profit grants ended as of July 1st,

2011, and there are only Focus on Energy incentives available for residential customers.

Because of MSOE’s Federal tax exemption, they do not qualify for the 30% Federal tax

credit. The State of Wisconsin does allow for a sales tax exemption on all renewable energy

product purchases, but MSOE is a tax-exempt entity, so this does not apply.

There are Focus on Energy rebates for the installation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

that we propose for the existing hot and chilled water pumps. But for the Power Therm

system, because it is a supplemental system, does not qualify for any incentives or rebates.

Table 32.1: Available Grants, Rebates, & Incentives

Lighting Retrofits Focus on Energy $ 2,772.00

Lighting Controls Focus on Energy $ 375.00

Financing Plan: Loan Programs

The City of Milwaukee has a great program that is available

to businesses, such as MSOE, for the financing of energy

efficiency project. The program is called Me2,, which stands

for “Milwaukee Energy Efficiency”. Me2 offers four options:

Smart Security Financing that provides up-front collateral for projects from $10,000 to $1,000,000.

Small Business Financing that allows you to finance up to 100% of the project at a low rate, but the loan must be between $5,000 and $20,000.

Clean Energy Financing allows (residential) property owners to finance energy efficiency projects from $20,000 through $5,000,000, as long as the owner passes on the savings to the tenant.

Interest Rate Buy Down is for projects between $10,000 and $500,000, and allows for a discount, or buy down, on your project loan.

The main qualification is that the monthly payment on the loan must be less than the energy

savings per month.

New Paradigm Group will apply the Interest Rate Buy Down to the entire project, with two

separate loans; one for the Power Therm system and one for the Lighting and Renewable

projects. Current commercial rates are about 6.0%, therefore we will use a 3.0% rate for our

purposes.

Conclusion

New Paradigm Group has determined that all of the proposed projects, with financing

through Me2, are feasible with the determined parameters. Utilizing the Smart Security

Financing and Interest Rate Buy Down options, there will be NO initial cost incurred

by the client (MSOE), and the monthly savings will more than cover the monthly payments.

After each loan is satisfied, MSOE will receive the full monthly savings for the remainder of

the system lifetime.

LEED for Existing Buildings

LEED for existing buildings is a rating standard used by retrofit buildings to determine the

design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. This rating system is

developed by the US. Green Building Council. LEED 2009 is the standard that is currently in

use and identifies and rewards current best practices and provides an outline for the building

to use less energy, water, and natural resources as well as improve the overall indoor

environment and uncover operating inefficiencies the building may have.

According to the LEED

2009 for Existing Building: Operations & Maintenance project checklist we will meet the

LEED certification standard which is a LEED rating above (40) points.

The elements of our retrofit design that has helped us achieve this LEED certification include

the following design elements that were detailed earlier in this proposal.

Retrofit kits for the fixtures converting (3) lamp fixtures to (2) lamp T-8 fixtures.

Lighting controls utilizing daylight sensors and occupancy sensors.

Installation of a Power Therm System to offset heating and cooling costs.

Implementation of a 30 kW solar photovoltaic systems on the roof.

Building a 20 kW wind turbine adjacent to the library.

With these retrofits we have been able to achieve a LEED certified building with a total of 46

points while there are many more retrofits that could be done to increase the LEED rating we

believe the costs and payback to not be worth it in our opinion and for now currently suggest

only the following retrofits described in the previous sections of the proposal.

Shown on the following pages is the LEED breakdown that will give you a detailed look on

what points we were able to achieve.

Outreach Appendix: Campus Energy Awareness

Existing Programs

Energy awareness is high at MSOE, with many sustainable

examples around campus.

Our main campus center building has a 30kw solar array on it

that provides interactive displays that students can see the

amount of energy being saved by the system.

With the help of ideas from last years green energy challenge proposal

the lighting has been upgraded to T8 fixtures in the RWJ dorm

building on campus. Additionally a solar reheat system was installed

on the roof of the MLH dorm building across the street.

MSOE has a single-stream recycling program, composting program

and paper recycling program. A single-stream recycling program allows

MSOE to collect plastic, glass, aluminum, clean cardboard and newsprint.

Mixed recycling increases participation and recovery. MSOE has

partnered with Growing Power for composting our new biodegradable

dining products. Additionally MSOE established a dedicated paper

recycling and shredding stream.

A drink refill program on campus allows students to buy water

bottles at a 20% discount and fill them up at 50% off the original

drink price.

Student Awareness

To assist in the proposal and get students involved in the Green Energy Challenge Professor

Dudley Outcalt, PhD., integrated our topics with his junior level classes. For Advanced

Lighting/Communications Dr. Outcalt taught AGi32 and we used the photometric

calculations in our proposal.

For Advanced Power Design Dr. Outcalt taught Power distribution with focus on PTW-32,

coordination, arc flash studies and labels.

Also to get other students throughout campus involved we took a survey of 40 students that

were working at the library. The survey asked about their opinions of light levels, energy

usage and lighting controls. The response was favorable to the ideas we proposed. As we

expected many students thought that the light levels were high and lighting controls would

ideal. The survey and results are located on the next page.

38


Figure 39.2: Student Awareness Survey

New Plan

We plan to increase the energy awareness

around the school by showcasing the new

technology that would be installed for the

library retrofit. While we already have

interactive displays showcasing the energy

savings of the Campus Center building we

would add to that by showcasing the new

energy savings of the photovoltaic system

on the roof of the library as well as the

proposed wind turbine to be installed near

the library. We purpose a green energy

platform for MSOE that would provide

website access as well as displays around

campus that would rotate through all the

energy saving ideas implemented on

campus. So to put our plan into action we

went to Armund Janto with our idea and

he agreed to let us put up a display in the

Campus Center to test out the idea.

Feedback seemed positive and we think

this will draw more people to MSOE and it

keeps everyone involved in energy

awareness. The figures on the right are

pictures of what was put in the Campus

Center and what we would like to propose

to be located around campus. The display

incorporates a mouse that lets you select different pages that display information on energy

savings and even a live webcam of the solar array/wind turbine.

We also would like to purpose increasing energy awareness throughout all

engineering disciplines around campus. Historically engineering and construction

management disciplines have been centered on initial cost with lower cost being king. We

want to implement the knowledge that most energy efficient ideas come with a larger initial

cost but with lower lifetime costs which is important to an owner and community. Green

energy can be implemented not only in architectural engineering and construction

management department but also in other engineering disciplines offered at MSOE as all

engineering uses some type of power to operate or produce.

Green Energy Challenge

Published: 02/09/2012

Members of MSOE’s National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) student

chapter are preparing for the Green Energy Challenge, which is the 4th Annual NECA/EI

(ELECTRI International) Student Chapter Competition. They are one of eighteen NECA

Student Chapters across the country that are participating in the 2012 challenge. This year,

teams will select a facility on their campus, conduct an energy audit of the building's power

and lighting systems, and design and propose a retrofit for both systems. MSOE's team is

focusing on the Walter Schroeder Library.

The team is hoping to continue their winning streak this year, as they’ve won the

championship the past two years. Assistant Professor Dr. Dudley Outcalt is the faculty

advisor for MSOE’s NECA student chapter, and members Nicholas Cote, Christopher

Kneeland, Courtney Leaf, Brittany Leis, Tanya Otto, Elise Pinkerton, Dylan Sandretto and

Derek Underdahl will be representing MSOE. As in the past, the team is working with Local

NECA Milwaukee Chapter for assistance on this year’s proposal.

ELECTRI International's jury — contractors and industry partners — will judge each

written entry and select three finalist teams to bring to the NECA 2012 Convention in Las

Vegas for oral presentations. They are also encouraged to use NECAWORKS™ - a web-based

energy and economic screening tool — which will be made available to all students

participating in the 2012 Green Energy Challenge.

Outreach Appendix: Local NECA Chapter Interaction

Throughout the past few years the Milwaukee NECA Chapter has given MSOE and our

NECA student chapter a lot of support for the Green Energy Challenges and sponsoring

different activities. Interaction with our Local NECA Chapter has given us real world

experience and good contacts for the future.

2008—The Milwaukee NECA Chapter

sponsored 20 students to attend Chicago

NECA convention.

2009—25 students took a tour of Oak Creek Power Generation

Station, Wisconsin’s largest private construction project. After the

tour the Milwaukee Chapter took students out to dinner and

drinks.

2010—MSOE NECA Student Chapter participated in Green Energy

Challenge 2010 in Boston with the help of Milwaukee NECA Chapter.

2011—MSOE NECA Student Chapter participated for second year

in Green Energy Challenge 2011 in San Diego with heavy

involvement from Milwaukee NECA Chapter. 10 NECA contractors

attended our Green Energy Challenge championship award dinner.

2012—MSOE NECA Student Chapter active in Green Energy

Challenge 2012 with assistance from Milwaukee NECA Chapter.

Outreach Appendix: Arc Flash Study

Safety is always a high priority for New Paradigm Group. We regularly evaluated arc flash

conditions on our client’s equipment along with a short circuit study, and a coordination study.

Our team also evaluated the existing equipment.

After the arc flash evaluation, we found some conditions to be unsafe. The secondary side of the

transformer connected to a receptacle panel was classified as dangerous (category 2) and required

arc-rated clothing and protective gear. Arc flash labels, like the one shown below were made and

installed in locations that were indicated as dangerous from the arc flash evaluation.

After conducting the short circuit study, we found the system to be properly protected if any faults

were to occur. The coordination study proved the equipment used was well integrated to prevent

any potential hazardous situations.

Due to an originally well-designed power distribution system, no measures were needed in regards

to short circuit protection or equipment coordination.
