As
prime consultant working for the New York
Power Authority, Chu and Gassman provided
feasibility services and is contracted to
provide design, cost estimation, bid document
preparation and construction services to bring
the project to 100% completion.
Chu and Gassman proposed energy efficiency
upgrade options yielding 10 year or better
simple payback periods. Areas of study included
lighting upgrades, chiller plant replacement,
window rehabilitation, electric motors and
boiler systems. Lighting upgrade included
fixture replacement/retrofit as necessary
to outfit entire building with newer T8 fluorescent
technology, replacing existing T12 systems.
Upgrade also includes addition of occupancy
sensors and timers to limit operating time
and energy usage. Chiller study included recommended
replacement of existing electrically driven
units with more efficient natural gas direct-fired
units, nearly doubling energy efficiency. |

As
prime consultant working for the New York
Power Authority, Chu and Gassman provided
an energy efficiency upgrade feasibility study
and is contracted to provide design, cost
estimation, bid document preparation and construction
services to bring the project to 100% completion.
In addition to energy upgrades, Chu and Gassman
investigated existing overloading of the main
electrical service. Currently the electrical
chiller plant can not be operated a full capacity
during summer months due to inadequate electrical
service size from Consolidated Edison.
Chu and Gassman proposed energy efficiency
upgrade options yielding 10 year or better
simple payback periods. Areas of study included
chiller plant replacement/upgrade and combined
heat cycle cogeneration plant installation.
Chiller study included recommended replacement
of existing electrically driven units with
more efficient absorption type chillers. These
units would utilize waste heat produced by
the cogeneration plant to drive the cooling
cycle and simultaneously reduce the electrical
demand by eliminating the electrically driven
chiller units. |
