City of South Bend, IN — Department of Public Works <br />GESC: Central Fire Station & MLK Dream Center Solar PV <br />HVAC Measures <br />Veregy engineers inspected the Fire Station and found most of the <br />HVAC systems to be in fair, but aging condition. It is our <br />recommendation to repair an "out of commission" air handling unit and <br />further evaluate chiller and boilers for efficiency improvements. <br />LED Lighting <br />Our lighting engineer walked the Fire Station and found 744 light <br />fixtures that we recommend be upgraded to LED. This scope of work <br />will realize a quick payback in savings and coupled with a rebate from <br />the utility, will provide a great return on investment. <br />Martin Luther King Jr. Dream Center Solar <br />Veregy recommends installing solar on most of the roofing area to <br />maximize the amount of carbon offset in the most economical method <br />The solar produced electricity will also provide a positive cash flow by <br />offsetting purchases from the utility for the energy consumed at new <br />MLK Jr. Dream Center. Our team was not able to <br />access the roof during the site visit due to weather. <br />Veregy's engineers will field measure the area to <br />confirm maximum allowable space for solar. <br />For this response we used the provided 170 x 50 <br />feet dimensions. Veregy will be able to utilize <br />equipment installed as part of the building project to <br />carry produced energy to the main electrical switch <br />gear. <br />After the maximum amount of solar was placed on <br />the roof, the design was optimized. The projected <br />electric generation from this was compared to the <br />present consumption. The table to the right <br />summarizes our findings. Below, the layout for the <br />array can be found. Further information about the <br />design can be found in Appendix E. <br />Veregy engineers inspected the Fire Station and <br />found most of the HVAC systems to be in fair, but <br />aging condition.
