1
Building upon Success
Seattle-Tacoma Airport
  • Making Airport Terminals More Energy Efficient
  • January 24, 2005
2
West Coast Energy Crisis
  • December 11, 2000 - $1 million day
  • 2000-2001 $17 million over budget for electricity, would have been $28 million without energy efficiency projects
  • I started on June 4, 2000, crisis started at same time, pure coincidence?
  • Predecessor for energy efficiency “everything has been done already”
3
Airport crews work
  • Installed over 2,000 compact fluorescent bulbs
  • Installed hundreds of photo cells
  • Turned off escalators & elevators
  • Built a plate & frame heat exchanger over a weekend
  • Installed Eco Start kits on escalators
4
Staff & Tenant changes
  • Turn off lights, computers, monitors, printers
  • Raised electricity rates to tenants 300%, from $.07/KWH to $.25
  • Raised water rates 300%
  • Spread thermostat set points from 2 degrees to 6 degrees


5
Governor’s Mandate
  • Sea-Tac Airport was the 1st public facility to comply with Governor’s mandate for 10% energy reduction issued in December 2000. Accomplished at end of January 2001.
6
State of Washington Energy Efficiency Program
  • Selected Siemens Company under the State of Washington Energy Efficiency Performance Contracting Program
  • Since the Summer of 2001 we have completed 3 Lighting retrofit projects and 1 water conservation
    • Reduced electricity by 6.6 million KWHs
    • Reduced natural gas by 50,000 therms
    • Reduced water & sewer by 52 million gallons
7
Cost Savings & Recognition
  • Almost $4 million spent to date, saving $2 million per year
  • Projects are returning 25-54% Internal Rate of Return on Investment, $125,000 in incentives from Utilities
  • Improved lighting levels, lower labor costs, standardization of materials
  • Chamber of Commerce “Environmental Excellence” Award in 2002

Future Projects
  • Over $10 million of projects in design
  • Potential 10.3 million KWHS more saved
  • 30% reduction from baseline
  • $1.5 million in incentives from Utilities
