1.5 M sq ft mixed use lab bldgs Typically 7 times energy cost per square foot vs. typical office bldg.
HQ Building •
1.3 M sq. ft mixed use facility
Masdar Institute Science and Technology Energy Efficient Design • Lab area related energy savings – $482,000/yr or 1,768 MWH/yr – From dynamic control of lab ventilation: • Safely reducing dilution ventilation for lab spaces
• Non-lab areas savings: – $62,000/yr or 246 MWH/yr savings – Healthy DCV (Demand Control Ventilation) • For classrooms, library, and computational areas
• Energy only simple payback: ~1.6 years
Total Savings: $544,000/yr & 2,014 MWH/yr
MIST First Cost Reduction From Aircuity • HVAC system “right” sizing (i.e. Diversity) – Peak demand reduction – Air handler, chiller, heat recovery system cost saving • Cost savings achieved equal >$300,000
• Solar PV panel reduction: – 970 KW reduction – $5.35 M capital savings at $5.5/W installed PV cost
Net Capital Cost Avoidance: ~$4,750,000
