Project Description
CASE STUDY: Powersmiths Transformers Contribute to 64% in Energy Loss Reduction for U.S. Veterans Affairs Healthcare Buildings through an ESCO Partnership
U.S. Federal – Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare Buildings
Puerto Rico, USA
Puerto Rico, USA
Project Drivers:
- Executive Order 13423/EISA: Reduce energy intensity by 30% by 2015
- Executive Order 13423: Reduce GHG emissions by 28% by 2020
- No capital investment by VA Healthcare System with verified savings
- Work completed as part of an Energy Savings Performance Contract
Project Summary:
Transformer Retrofit & Energy Savings Verification
- Baseline measurements of energy losses from 26 existing transformers
- 26 Powersmiths E-Saver low-voltage dry-type transformers replaced the 26 inefficient existing transformers
- Post-install energy savings verified by Powersmiths professional metering services in an ISO17025 Certified Lab
Energy Savings Overview:
- The average baseline energy losses were reduced by 64%
- Lifecycle Energy Savings: 2,39,0463.6 kWh
- Overall GHG Emissions Reduction by 2020: 352.8 tons CO2
