The Large Energy Users Pilot Program (LEUP) is an energy efficiency incentive program sponsored by New Jersey’s

Clean Energy Program (NJCEP)

* This project is currently underway ** The 2013 program was incorporated into the 2014 Program *** Includes 170 kW of increased Tech load **** Chiller hours vary and a full year is needed to calculate actuals LEUP 2011 Project – 96 VFD’s on CRAC units & Cold Aisle Containment in 2 Fileds at CDC. Project was implemented in stages from 8/13 – 12/13. Measured Performance – Actual Electrical consumption was reduced ~ 1,538,700 kWh with an increased Tech Load of 170 kW (~489,600 kWh).

The above has been submitted for review and the total incentive values will be provided following evaluation.

• LEUP 2012 • Project – 6 VFD’s on chillers at the CDC. Project started 5/14 and is underway with 3 of the 6 VFD’s

completed.

• Savings results of a single chiller was measured at commissioning (before and after VFD installation) to have 26 kW less consumption at identical loads. This represents approximately a 10% reduction in power and exceeded the estimated 8% reduction in power during original analysis.

• ROI calculated for project indicates pre-tax nominal payback of 3.15 years. Initial measurements indicate project is on track to exceed expected payback.
