Energy Efficiency & Quality Assurance Department
Engineered findings from a NAIMA 3E Plus walk-down assessment. 15 items inventoried across 3 systems · estimated $1,700/yr in recoverable operating cost.
Overview of identified insulation upgrade opportunities and projected annual savings. This is a Preliminary Report. Please see the 'Line Item Detail' Page for detailed information about each item assessed along with Infrared Imaging. Your EEQA representative will now solicit bids from our Qualified Contractors. Please allow 4-6 weeks for the bidding to complete. Your EEQA representative will then submit to you a Final Report upon it's completion. All completed upgrades will have a Quality Control visit to ensure the Mechanical Insulation was installed in accordance with specifications.
Upgrading the insulation on the 15 identified items would result in estimated annual energy cost savings of $1,700/yr, a reduction in heat flow of 203,657 kBtu/yr, a reduction in CO₂ emissions of 13.46 MT/yr, and a reduction in NOₓ emissions of 59.4 lbs/yr. All calculations were performed using the NAIMA 3E Plus (version 5.1) computer program.
