The First Energy Group did a report on Carpe Diem.  I really want to thank them, especially, Mechele, Rueben, Rickey, and last but not least, Jay. The report is really thorough and here are the main points.

Special Emphasis, Concerns, or Limitations

- Disruption – A key concern is designing and installing any equipment or systems in this facility with no disruption during operating hours.
- Reliability & Durability – Long term solutions with solid life cycle costing are required.
- Operation Cost – A major driver of this report is to reduce operating costs and take advantage of the savings and incentives to subsidize replacement of aging or inefficient equipment and improvement to the environment.
- Rebates –  Utility rebates will be applied for and will be directly sent to the client.

Recommended Energy Conservation Measures:

1. Improve performance of kitchen-hood exhaust and outside air intake fan.
2. Installation of Dual Enthalpy Economizer on the primary roof-top heating and cooling system.
3. Installation of supplementary 2-ton, ductless split, air conditioning system for the first floor.
4. Replacement of the 2 bathroom exhaust fans with units providing exhaust, light, and heat.
5. Installation of programmable time clock to turn the amplifiers on and off on a schedule.
6. Installation of a Honeywell series 8000 programmable thermostat to control the roof-top heating and cooling system.
7. Retrofit the exit signs with LED kits.
