6 The Challenge Partnerships Cities, counties, and states Energy utilities Private businesses Others Energy Ed. Energy efficiency measures Performance contracting and other financing mechanisms Technical assistance and expertise Buildings Multifamily dwellings Private commercial buildings Municipal facilities MP&W Acting as Coordinator

7 Energize Muscatine s Action Plan Goal Reduce Energy Consumption in Muscatine by 5% over 5 Years

8 Marketing Strategies Junior Solar Sprint 7 th & 8 th Grade Science Fair for all Grades Geo Project at West Junior High College Students Electrathon for HS students PV Installation Workshop System Monitoring Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Scholarship Green Energy Program Solar Muscatine Poster Contest for 4 th & 5 th Grade Home Energy Audits

9 Welcome Mr. Root!

10 Renewable Energy is the Key!

11 MP&W Sponsors the Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Poster Contest

12 MP&W Sponsors the Junior Solar Sprint for 7 th & 8 th Grade Finished car frame with motor, support axles and pulley installed. Finished car frame with motor, drive belt and payload. Completed Junior Solar Sprint race car with solar panel wired to the motor.

13 Muscatine Science Fair MP&W provides awards for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Displays

16 Suggested Improvements Convert Incandescent Exit Signs to LED Change Incandescent bulbs to Compact fluorescent bulbs Change T-12 Fluorescent fixtures to T-8 Change 460 MH (460 watts per Hr.) 360 MH bulbs (360 watts per hr.) 360 HI/LO s (Reduced hours of operation) T-5 (234 watts per hr.) Can beused in conjunction with Motion Sensor

17 Suggested Improvements Use of Motion Sensors Use Premium Efficient Motors Size Correctly Run at a higher RPM than Standard Motors Make sure that change pulleys and shims Auditing and implementing of Energy Efficient practices for Air Compressors Reduce Pressure Reduce Leaks Maximize use of control systems Make sure storage is the right size

18 Motion Sensors Data analysis shows approximately a 19% reduction in total lighting power for buildings after installing Motion Sensors and making sure that the time delays were properly adjusted.

20 Premium Efficiency Motors SAVE Substantial Amounts of Money. A typical 20-hp electric motor running continuously at full load costs over $14,000 per year to operate.* Replace it with a premium efficiency motor save over $300 every year on electric power. ($0.10 per kwh) A typical 100 HP motor at full load, continuous operation, costs over $70,000 per year to operate. Using a premium efficiency motor will save roughly $1400 each and every year.* ($0.10 per kwh)

22 Savings from Energy Efficient Air Compressors Over a 10 year operating period, a 100 hp compressed air system purchased for $40,000 will accumulate up to $800,000 in electrical power costs. Following a few simple steps can significantly reduce energy costs by as much as 35%. A 520 cfm compressor, delivering air at 110 psig, requires about 100 hp. However, at 100 psig, only 95 hp is required. Potential power cost savings (at 10 cents per kwh; 8,760* hrs.) is $3,750/year. A system using 520 cfm at 110 psig inlet pressure will consume only 400 cfm at 80 psig. The potential power cost savings (520 efin cfm = 120 cfm = 24 hp, at 10 cents/ kwh; 8,760* hrs.) is $18,000/year.

23 Savings from Energy Efficient Air Compressors Each cfm of air volume wasted can be translated into extra compressor hp and is an identifiable cost. If this waste is recovered, the result will be $750/hp per year in lower energy costs. It takes 7 to 8 hp of electricity to produce 1 hp worth of forced air this high energy cost quite often is overlooked
