Abstract

ABSTRACT Growing attention is now being paid to energy conservation that was once considered insignificant for energy resource development. An energy efficiency study on the heating system for a commercial facility was performed using the BIN method that can be adopted by energy management practitioners. Such data-based method calculates the load and energy savings for the recommended boiler replacement. Energy consumption data, measurements and flowcharts developed were used to study the operating costs and energy savings for the facility. The study shows that the method can be used to decide if a boiler or heater replacement is worthwhile. Moreover, this study sets the stage for further energy management and reliability investment in the form of cogeneration of heat and power (CHP) or distributed generation (DG). It was determined in this study that using the prescribed strategy will result in significant energy savings for the investments made. Finally, basic data needed for cogeneration analysis resul...
