My Career as an Energy Manager • Super • Fantas,c • Fun • Challenging • Produc,ve • Interes,ng • I Make A Difference Every Day
Success at NASA MSFC • Since 1985 NASA MSFC has reduced energy consump,on by over 50%
• The average annual u,lity bill is $20M • Without the energy conserva,on and management program the average annual u,lity bill would be over $40M
• NASA MSFC reduced 29.4% of the 30% energy reduc,on goal for 2006-‐2015
• NASA MSFC con,nues its efforts in energy conserva,on and management
• To meet the next energy reduc,on for 2015-‐2025 NASA MSFC must reduce enough energy to remove all electricity from a city the size of Decatur, Alabama
Careers & College Majors needed for Energy • Engineering & Architecture • [Specifically Electrical & Mechanical] • Procurement • Accoun,ng • Marke,ng • Automa,on & Controls • Technicians (electricians, HVAC, solar & wind, controls technicians…) • Construc,on (carpentry, masonry…)
Sustainable Buildings at NASA MSFC • 1 – LEED Cer,fied • 1 – LEED Silver Cer,fied • 2 – LEED Gold Cer,fied • 1 – LEED Gold Laboratory for the 21st Century • 1 – Dual Cer,fied [LEED Silver & 2-‐ Green Globes] • 1 – LEED EBOM Cer,fied [leadership in energy & environmental design-‐ exisJng building operaJons & maintenance]
• 2 – buildings designed minimum LEED Silver [being constructed] • Approximately 1M sq. ^. or 25% of buildings are sustainable
Sustainability Overview • Most building in USA are presently cer,fied using LEED or Green Globes
• The most recent Execu,ve Order (EO 13693) requires federal buildings to be cer,fied using Guiding Principles Compliance (GPC)
• The six Guiding principles are: 1. Employ Integrated Design principles 2. OpJmize Energy Performance 3. Protect and Conserve Water 4. Enhance Indoor Environmental quality 5. Reduce the Environmental Impact of Materials 6. Assess and Consider climate Change Risks
Other Sustainable OperaGons • MSFC Chilled Water Facility:
1. Changed from 34 local chillers to 10 chillers in a Central Facility 2. Has 1.2 M gallon Thermal Storage Tank 3. Operated during “Peak” Time of Use (TOU) to reduce electricity costs 4. Peak shaving or opera,on during “Peak” saves $400K-‐$500K annually 5. Uses energy from a heat exchanger during colder months which eliminates
chiller opera,ons

Energy Management Control System (EMCS) • NASA MSFC has operated an EMCS for over 30 years • The NASA MSFC EMCS operate 24/7 -‐ 365 • The EMCS presently monitors approximately 100,000 points • Newer sustainable buildings has as many as 700 points and 60 meters
• EMCS monitoring, analysis and integra,on allows for maximum energy monitoring and management
Energy Management CerGficaGons • CEM – Cer,fied Energy Manager • PEM – Professional Energy Manager • LEED AP – LEED Accredited Professional • Others…
