Energy Conservation Measures in the National Bureau of Standards Laboratory Complex
Energy conservation measures at the National Bureau of Standards site are being carried out under two separate but inter-related programs; a low-investment, immediate-impact program and a long-range, major retrofit program. The low-investment program has already been implemented and includes lighting reductions, thermostat resettings and nighttime shutdowns of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems. Data on energy usage before and after this program was instituted are presented. The methodology and analysis of the long-range program are also presented. Various building energy conservation options were considered and evaluated by means of a mathematical model. Quantitative estimates of savings for each are presented. The decision to invest in automatic controls for the air conditioning systems of the laboratory complex and steam/chilled-water plant is discussed.
