2019 Payback Performance: LEDs Deliver Favorable Returns
Efficiency has increased and cost has decreased. Future improvements are significantly less dramatic moving forward than over the past 10 years.
Mindset Challenges:
A) “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” B) “If we wait, LEDs are getting cheaper and better.” C) “We don’t have a budget for LEDs.”
Solutions for States:
A) The maintenance cost is more expensive to wait. B) Offer more Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to see the technology improvements and lower costs. C) Ask for Performance Contracting with $0 upfront costs and payments on the savings.

(6.5%) (3%) 3.5%
Lighting Example: Lighting typically accounts for about 25% of commercial energy use. 11.5% savings with Direct Current lighting on 25% = 2.8% property savings. LED lights cut consumptions by 50%, making half of 25% = 12.5% property savings. 12.5% + 2.8% = 15.3% Total Savings for a property that retrofits with LED Direct Current lighting.

Chiller (Status Quo) Pre-Optimization
56
Sample Optimization Measure Increase the Cooling Tower (CT) fan speed (26.2 Hz) to reduce the Condenser Water Entry Temperature (CWET). The small increase in energy cost creates a larger reduction in the chiller energy consumption.
57
RESULTS: Chiller Post-Optimization
58
RESULTS: Data
Increase in Cooling Tower (CT) fan speed caused decrease in Condenser Water Entry Temperature (CWET) which in turn reduced the power consumption by 22% net.
Note: To determine CT Fan kW consumption at 40 addition Hz, we use the industry max of 60 Hz and 18 kW to start the calculations. Formula 1: (Old Hz/Max Hz)³ x Max Power = Old Power (26.2 Hz / 60 Hz)³ x 18 kW = 1.49 kW Formula 2: (New Speed/Old Speed)³ x Old Power = New Power (40 Hz / 26.2 Hz)³ x 1.49 kW = 5.3 kW

(Sample efficiency measure) We reduce Condenser Water Entry Temperature (CWET) to the lowest permissible level within ambient conditions. This reduces the outlet pressure of the compressor, which reduces the compressor’s energy consumption. In addition, we provide many other measures, such as balancing chiller loads across multiple chillers, per manufacturer’s specifications, to lower the kW /TR.
