LoanSTAR Energy Conservation Audits: January 1989 - August 1990
Abstract
Fourteen audit reports, covering seventy buildings
and Texas' Governor's mansion, have been accepted as a
part of the Texas LoanSTAR Program. Task 1 (the first of
five) is responsible for audit reviews and assignments. One
hundred forty-five energy cost reduction measures
(ECRMs) and maintenance and operation recommendations
(M&Os) have been identified which can result in
significant amounts of electrical energy, demand and
natural gas savings. Costs savings are $1,882,000/yr and
the investment cost is $5,566,000 for an overall simple
payback of 3.0 years. The ECRMs and M&Os have been
categorized as well as the types of buildings involved. The
cost for auditing the 5.2 million square feet was $0.054 per
square foot. Problems associated with audit reports are
also discussed.
