Complete Suggested Measures Type () Replace hand washing aerator spouts Current spouts are rated at 2.0 gpm, replacing these spouts with 0.5 gallon per Low Cost minute (gpm) spouts will reduce water/sewer/electric cost associated with hand washing water by approximately 25% of current values. Replace door seals on all exterior doors and insulation to building envelope For these high traffic doors, seal wear probably occurs rapidly. Be sure to include the door sweep as one of the seals. Low Cost With installation of new weather stripping on the doors, infiltration of outdoor air and exfiltration of conditioned air will be controlled. This could result in approximately 5% to 10% savings. In addition, adding insulation to existing envelope could result in approximately 10% to 15% savings. Replace existing thermostats with Programmable thermostats The existing thermostats throughout the building are electronic thermostats, but have no programming capability. By installing programmable thermostats, the HVAC systems can be programmed to automatically adjust temperature set points based on the anticipated operating schedule. Ideally, HVAC systems would turn back at night to provide less conditioning of unoccupied spaces. A Low Cost the summer and 65ºF in the winter) and HVAC systems would re-start intermittently to maintain the setback temperature. A occupied temperature set point can be programmed (e.g., 6am and 75ºF) and point temperatures. Providing this basic occupancy control strategy will lead to opportunities for energy savings. Replace exit signs with LED exit signs Low Cost The existing exit signs are fluorescent; by changing to LED 113 Kwh per year per exit sign could be saved. ASHRAE LEVEL 1 ENERGY AUDIT ADMINISTRATION 2
