$6,051,000 project cost, $156,000 annual energy and water savings.

Scope

The project consisted of replacement of the old, direct buried steam and condensate piping throughout the campus with new steam and condensate piping and a new concrete utilidor system. Over 1 mile of utilidor (approx. 5’ X 6’), and 2 miles of piping were installed to serve 17 buildings. Also, the main steam boilers for the campus (2 @ 600Hp, 1 @ 800 HP) were retrofit with automated controls to allow the plant to be operated without 24 hour staffing, and all steam traps on the campus were replaced. Replaced old, failed heat recovery systems on two 100% outside air fan systems.

Notable Facts

All work was done while the campus was fully occupied, with no impact to the occupants.
Eliminated leaks in steam and condensate systems.
Significant reduction in maintenance & operation costs due to new piping and steam traps.
Modified staffing of the boiler plant increased available maintenance staff for other systems

New Energy
Efficiency Grants

For Washington’s K-12 schools, colleges and universities there’s never been a better time to pursue energy and water conservation based facility improvements, with $100 million in competitive grants available to support these activities and create jobs. And there is no ESCo with a more successful track record of securing these competitive grants than Quantum. A pilot program in 2009 saw grants awarded to 50 school districts – 24 of which are Quantum customers. For more information on how to take advantage of the new grants, call Fritz Feiten at (206) 523-5314.
