SL&ECT: ENERGY AUDITOR'S SECOND QUARTERLY REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following: -
1. That Report CS -23 -86 be received for information.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
The attached report, as prepared by Mr. Kevin Greene the Energy Auditor, specifically
deals with energy conservation alternatives that were considered as well as those that
are recommended for several municipal buildings.
The report addresses sixteen (16) separate buildings of the thirty (30) which are to
be audited under the Terms of Reference for the Energy Program (see Terms of Reference
attached). The remaining buildings will be included in the next report. I would
point out to committee members that a number of items for various buildings are
lacking prices and pay -back figures, as these figures were not available at the time
of this report. It is anticipated that these items will also be addressed in the
third Quarterly Report due in June.
The individual Building Reports are listed in alphabetical order and in no way
represent priorities for action. It is staff's intention to priorize the auditors
recommendations for implementation at the conclusion of the audit.

BACKGROUND
The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility:
1. Install Storm Windows:
Increase the "R" value of the single pane window units by installing storm
windows.
2. Wall Insulation:
Add insulation to the block wall in order to raise its thermal resistance.
The insulation is to be added to the exterior of the building. it will require
stud framing and a covering of vinyle siding. This will not only reduce heat
transfer, it will also improve the aesthetics of the building.
3. Adjustable Air Registers:
Air registers are required in order to balance the heating system.
At present there is no means of adjusting the quantity of air entering any
particular area of the building. As a result temperature control is impossible.
4. IFC Fuel Saver:
The IFC Fuel Saver converts conventional on -off furnaces to a pulse style.
Howerver, in this building the pay -back period prevents its recommendation.

Potential Grant Available: (1986.
BACKGROUND
The following energy saving alternative was considered for this facility:
1. Install Reflective Window Film
The building structure is predominantly glass. A method of improving this
conductive material was sought. Reflective window film is a good choice due to
it's low emissivity characteristics. The film will radiate heat back into the
building effectively reducing the heating plant load in winter. In the summer the
sun's heat will be reflected outward making conditions more comfortable.
Though the film can be purchased and installed by in house personnel it is
recommended that installation be performed professionally.
Comment:
It has been noted that a major replacement of windows in the Library took place about
three (3) years ago. The window film would increase the efficiency of the existing
windows with respect to energy consumption.

3. Ceiling Insulation:
Decrease the heat loss through the roof by installing insulation in the ceiling
cavity.
COMMENTS:
Discussions have taken place with the curator of the building Mr. Hoffman and his
ideas and concerns were taken into consideration at the time of the energy audit.
At present there is no humidity control in the building which means that exterior
ambient conditions dictate interior conditions. Apparently, this plays havoc with old
artifacts stored in the building. Humidity control would necessitate the changeover
from hot water heating to forced air. Since the building is a historical site this
changeover could interfere with the buildings designation as a historical landmark.
The problem is still under review.

3. IFC Fuel Saver:
The IFC Fuel Saver as previously mentioned converts conventional on-off
furnaces to a pulse style.
There is a noticeable difference in the price of the fuel saver for different
facilities. The price is based on the number of heating units that must be
controlled.
4. Caulking & Weatherstripping:
Caulking and weatherstripping are required to reduce the high infiltration and
exfiltration rate that exists at this facility. The bay doors in particular
are a tremendous source of heat loss.
5. Wall Insulation:
Increasing the thermal resistance of block walls is usually advantageous. The
insulation is to be installed on the exterior of the building with wood
studding for support and vinyl siding as a cover. This project will greatly
improve the aesthetics of the building. However, this cannot be recommended
until price quotes have been received.

BACKGROUND
The following energy saving alternative was considered for this facility:
1. Wall and Ceiling Insulation
Increase the "R" Value of the building envelope in order to reduce the energy
consumption of the heating plant. Price quotations will ultimately determine its
worth. We would be looking at installing wall insulation and siding on the
exterior surface of the building. This will increase the efficiency of the
building as well as eliminate the water seepage problem which currently exists
with the construction block.

BACKGROUND
The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility:
1. Egosaver_
The Egosaver is a heat exchange system that removes the superheat that is rejected
from the compressor. The heat removed would be injected into a water storage tank
that supplies water for showers and ice flooding.

Darlington Sports Centre Continued...
Page 2.
2. Compressor Staging:
Compressor staging is a control method that allows one compressor to be on
line during reduced load periods. At present both compressors start up
regardless of cooling load, then both shut off simultaneously. This on -off
cycling increases the demand charge that the facility is penalized for by
Ontario Hydro.
3. IFC Fuel Saver:
The IFC Fuel Saver is a forced air furnace control. It effectively converts
the conventional furnace to a pulse system. By p 9
flue gas is created and the lower heat exchanger temperature results in a
longer furnace life. This unit comes with a 20% fuel saving guarantee.
4. Brine Pump Actuator:
Since compressors operate approximately 55% of the time during the ice season,
the brine pump need only operate for approximately the same period. An ice
temperature sensor will control the cycle period.
5. Lower Ceiling:

3. Pool Cover:
The pool cover alternative was rejected first for the following reasons. The
pool has a high activity schedule. There is limited deck space available for
storage of the blanket. Also, pool covers add another potentially dangerous
safety hazard to the system.
4. Whirlpool Blanket:
A whirlpool blanket while still restricted by the length of time it can be
used is easily stored and is much less of a safety hazard.
5. Ceiling Fans:
Ceiling fans that destratify air in a pool have been found to increase forced
convection over the pool surface and actually increase evaporation and energy
costs. Ceiling fans are not recommended.
6. Occupancy Detectors:
Occupancy Detectors in the squash courts will be recommended pending price
quotations. The Detectors' function will be to reduce electrical consumption
by monitoring court usage and controlling lighting load.
7. Disconnect Ballasts:
Half of the Fluorescent light fixtures in the multi purpose room have had
their bulbs removed. This practice has saved energy yet one further step
should be taken. While the bank of fixtures is switched on, all of the
ballasts are energized regardless of whether the bulbs are present or not. It
is recommended that the ballasts from the unused fixtures be disconnected in
order to optimize savings.
