BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility: I. Install Storm Windows: Increase the R value of the single pane window units by installing storm windows. 2. Wall Insulation: A insu a n on 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 I uT_5aver converts conventional on -off furnaces to a pulse style. Howerver, in this building the pay -back period prevents its recommendation. ENERGY RATING - POOR V/,�-(a) Corporation of the Town of Newcastle Department of Community Services Energy Audit Program BOWMANVILLE LIBRARY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Install Reflective Window Film Cost: $4,830.00 Payback: 5.7 Years Potential Grant Available: $2,415.00 BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternative was considered for this facility: I. 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. ENERGY RATING - FAIR Corporation of the Town of Newcastle Department of Community Services Energy Audit Program BOWMANVILLE MEMORIAL ARENA BACKGROUND Directed by staff not to undertake a diagnostic audit on the building, no recommendations will be made at this time. If it is councils desire that remains operational for longer than a two (2) year period, several energy alternatives can be investigated. For example, at present the ice rink is with 36 incandescent bulbs (the least efficient form of lighting). By ins metal halide high intensity discharge lamps, significant savings can be ma new Bowmanville Arena is built, these new luminaires can be transferred fr Memorial Arena to the new building.

Ceiling Insulation: Decrease the hea t oss 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. In discussion with William Skube, P. Eng. it was determined that the least difficult as well as least costly method of providing satisfactory building humidification would involve the installation of portable humidifiers.

Reduce Ceiling Height and Insulate in Shower Areas Cost: (Request for price quotation Payback: (has been submitted Potential Grant Available: (April 10, 1986 BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility: I. E osaver: Me 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. ../2 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 "pulsing" the burner, less 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: By re ucing the ceiling height in the shower areas with an insulated false ceiling, heat transmission is reduced. Physiological comfort is increased due to the reduction of convective currents. Comments: Discussions-have taken place with Mr. F. Payne, Facilities Manager and his comments and concerns were taken into account during the energy audit.

Caulking & Weatherstrip Building Envelope Cost: (Request for price quotation Payback: (has been submitted Potential Grant Available: (June 11, 1986 BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternative was considered for this facility: 1. Furnace Replacement It appears that a straight oil to gas conversion is prohibited due to the condition of the furnace. The furnace presently in use will soon require replacement. In this case we can approach the Provincial Government for a conversion grant that will also supplement the cost of a new heating plant. A 95% efficient gas furnace is the recommended choice. 2. Storm Windows Install storm windows over existing single pane structures. 3. Caulking & Weatherstrippi n Caulking and weatherstripping are required to reduce infiltration through gaps around windows and doors. 4. Insulation nc� rearing the insulation value of the already blocked in windows was considered. The temporary type of installation that would be required may be considered a fire hazard.

BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility: I. Storm Windows: Corm windows have been installed over single pane windows in order to increase thermal resistance. A grant application is in process at the present time. 2. Insulate Door: The smaller north facing garage door should be insulated. A prefabricated insulation kit is recommended. 3. Block Off & Insulate Door: It was believed that the north facing door that enters the office area should be blocked off and insulated. This door is not presently being used and therefore the lower "R" Value associated with this door could be increased. However, the payback period is calculated at 17 years on this project as a result I would not recommend this improvement. ../2 Newcastle Fire Hall Continued... Page 2. 4.

BACKGROUND The following energy saving alternatives were considered for this facility: I. Run- Around Heat Recovery System: The first heat recovery system investigated was the run Around System. Glycol is circulated through tube coils located in the exhaust and supply air streams. Up to 60% of sensible heat is recovered. 2. Dry -O -Tron Dehumidification System: The second heat recovery system is the Dry -O -Tron Dehumidifier that absorbs latent as well as sensible heat. The overall expected efficiency can reach 90% (the design is based on heat pump technology). From a theoretical point of view the Dry -O -Tron System is sound. It is recommended that the Dry -O -Tron be installed. ../2 �f Newcastle Fitness Centre Continued... Page 2. 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 ete� ctors 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. Comment: The vestibule is not always used to its full potential. By keeping the interior doors shut in the winter as well as the exterior, the air lock that is created prevents the indiscriminant loss of heat whenever someone enters the facility. The Fitness Centre is extremely well maintained.
