1.0 INTRODUCTION
Pinchin Ltd. (Pinchin) was retained by Ursula D’Angelo, Director of Finance at Town of Erin to conduct an
ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit of Erin Fire Station No. 10 located at 2 Erinville Drive, Erin, Ontario.
The purpose of the energy audit to is identify how energy is used on site and how to maximize available
Client would like to implement a series of energy conservation mea7sures (ECMs).
The audit was conducted by Pinchin assessors, Carleen Lawson and Raven Cote, on July 3th at which
time Pinchin interviewed and was accompanied by the Fire Chief, hereinafter refer to as the “Site
Representative”.
Cost estimates provided in this report are preliminary Class “D” and provided only as an indication of the
order of magnitude of the remedial work. These values have been arrived at by determining a
representative quantity from the visual observations made at the time of our Site visit and by applying
current market value unit costs to such quantities and or a reasonable lump sum allowance for the work.
More precise cost estimates would require more detailed investigation to define the scope of work. They
are not intended to warrant that the final costs will not exceed these amounts or that all costs are
covered. The estimates assume the work is performed at one time and do not include costs for potential
de-mobilization and re-mobilization if repairs/replacement are spread out over the term of analysis.
All costs are identified in 2019 Canadian Dollars, including a 20% contingency fee to cover unforeseen
costs. Repair/replacement cost estimates are accurate to +/- 50%.
All cost estimates assume that regular annual maintenance and repairs will be performed to all building
elements at the facility. No cost allowance is carried for this regular maintenance.
The cost estimates provided in this report are based on costs of past repairs at similar buildings, recent
costing data such as “RS Means” and “Hanscomb’s Yardsticks for Costing”, or Pinchin’s professional
judgment.
Energy Savings and Demand Savings provided in this report are estimated to an accuracy of +/- 30%
This report satisfies all requirements an ASHRAE level II energy Audit as stated by the
ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 211-2018 and ASHRAE Standard 100-2015 -- Energy Efficiency in
Existing Buildings.

Building Operations
A solid understanding of building operations and occupancy allows building owners to assess the varying
power and ventilation loads and improve the efficiency of energy using systems. The Site Building is
comprised of 446 m2 of emergency services space. The Site Building provides fire fighting services.
The fire hall is only used when required. Due to the fluctuation in attendance, the average number of
occupants is difficult to accurately specify. The Site Representative informed Pinchin that there are
approximately 15 to 30 fire fighters that answer a call. In addition, the Site Representative reported that
there are on average 200 calls a year. In the evening the building is used occasionally for community
events and weekly training sessions. Pinchin estimates that there are approximately 6 hours a week on
average of events or training. The kitchen is assumed to be used approximately 1 hour a week, while the
fridge and cooler operate all year.
1.2.1 Recent Building Upgrades and Contemplated Energy Conservation Measures
This section details the recent upgrades and changes to the building as well as any ECMs contemplated
by the building mangers:
 A new A “Nederman” exhaust fan system with extraction arms is anticipated to be installed within
the truck bay area of the building. The system captures harmful fumes and improves air quality.
 The building managers have contemplated converting from fluorescent to LED lamps.

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
 The installation of energy star washer and dryer are anticipated in the future. Pinchin
recommends heavy duty, high efficiency, gas fired models to keep energy costs low and the life
expectancy long.
1.2.2 Typical Energy Consumption Breakdown
A study of the energy consumption breakdown within similar buildings is a key first step in determining
opportunities for energy reduction (refer to Figure 1-1). Pinchin has provided a breakdown of a fire station
end-use energy. Energy in a fire station is dominantly used by the space heating, equipment, domestic
hot water (DHW) and lighting systems. Recommended retrofits will be focused on these areas to best
improve the Site’s overall energy efficiency and lower utility costs.

HVAC Equipment
The primary HVAC equipment in use at Erin Fire Station No. 10 is described in the following section. A full
list of the HVAC equipment is provided in Appendix III.
Heating and ventilation of the Site Building are provided by one (1) gas-fired furnace, two (2) gas fired low
intensity infrared (IR) heaters, one (1) electric unit heater (UH), five (5) electric baseboard heaters (BBH)

and three (3) electric force flow heaters (FFH). Additional ventilation is provided by exhaust fans and the
kitchen hood fan.
Primarily, heating for the building is provided by one (1) “Lennox Elite”, high efficiency, gas-fired furnace
serving the office area of the main fire station building, and two (2) gas-fired radiant tube heaters serving
the truck bay area of the building. The furnace unit appeared to be manufactured in 2012, and therefore is
approximately 7 years old. The radiant heating tube system was manufactured in 2011 and therefore is
approximately 8 years old.
An electrical suspended unit heater manufactured by “Stelpro” was observed within the storage building.
The age of the unit heater is unknown.
The building is not provided with a cooling system.
The Site Building’s exhaust system consists of various exhaust fans for the washrooms, change rooms,
truck area, storage, and some common areas. The exhaust fans are vented to the atmosphere through
the exterior walls or through the roof. The fans were observed to be in serviceable condition.
An exhaust fan and a damper were noted within the storage building of the Site. The fan was
manufactured in 2009 (approximately 10 years old) and appeared to be in generally good condition.
Reportedly, the damper is thermostatically controlled.
Additionally, ceiling mounted exhaust fans were noted within the truck bay area, which exhaust to the
exterior through the roof. As reported by the Site Representative, a new A “Nederman” exhaust fan
system with extraction arms is anticipated to be installed within the truck bay area of the building.
The individual HVAC equipment is controlled by individual standalone thermostats. The Site
Representative reported that the there was no thermostat program schedule in place. During our Site
Visit, the heating set point and setback were observed to be 20 °C (68 °F). Reduced setpoints would
reduce energy consumption and utility costs. This suggested upgrade is discussed further in Section 4 of
the report.
Domestic hot water (DHW) production and storage within the facility is a year-round operation. Domestic
hot water production is accomplished with one (1) electric tank style DHW heater. The unit possesses a
maximum heating capacity of 4.5 kW.
The recommended upgrades are discussed further in Section 4.0 of the report.

Pumps and Motors
The pumps in use at Erin Fire Station No. 10 include those that are associated with the fire safety
systems. The motors in use at Erin Fire Station No. 10 consist of the Old Pump house compressor motor,
exhaust fan motors, DHW motor, furnace motor and various smaller motors for plug loads.
The fans may be operated by the user or when the heating is engaged by the programmable thermostat.
Ventilation is a key contributor to the Site building’s base load demand, base power demand and annual
average power factor levels. Power factor is important to consider when analysing the impact of inductive
loads on the Site Building’s annual utility costs; Power factor tends to decrease as inductive loads
increase. In addition, power demand must be considered as it is correlated to electrical equipment use.
Improvements to motor efficiency will lead to a reduction in energy consumption. Table 1-3 lists Pinchin’s
pumps and motor energy conservation recommendations at Erin Fire Station No. 10.

Lighting
The lighting systems within Erin Fire Station No. 10 consists of fluorescent lighting throughout the building
with LED and HPS wall packs located at the exterior. The lighting system is assumed to be entirely
occupant controlled.
The fluorescent and HPS fixtures currently in use are inefficient and it is recommended that they are
replaced with LED alternatives. A lighting upgrade would reduce energy consumption and utility costs.
These upgrades are discussed further in Section 6.0 of the report. Refer to Figure 1-3 and Table 1-4.

Building Envelope
This building envelope was reviewed including the windows, exterior cladding and all entrances and exits.
These building systems are subject to air and heat leakage as well as moisture infiltration. Pinchin
recommends ongoing maintenance to ensure the building envelope is in good condition.
The wall system which consists corrugated metal panels and metal panels with sections of rough and
smooth finished architectural stone cladding. The exterior cladding was observed to be in fair to good
condition with minor section of moisture staining observed at the architectural stone cladding. Moisture
degrades the performance of the insulation resulting in a lower R value. Pinchin recommends repairs to
the cladding be completed to maintain the integrity of the building envelope.
The window system of the Site Building consists of aluminum framed punched windows with horizontally
sliding Insulated Glazed units (IGUs). The windows are reportedly original to the building construction
circa 2012 and therefore are approximately 7 years old. As the existing windows are assumed to offer
basic thermal performance, Pinchin recommends upon reaching their Projected Useful Life (PUL), that
they are replaced with modern IGU systems to offer improved thermal performance.
The main entrance doors of the Site Building consist of prefinished aluminum framed door and frame
assemblies with Insulated Glazing units (IGUs). A secondary entrance door consists of an aluminum
framed door with an IGU insert and sidelite. The service doors consist of hollow metal doors within metal
frames. In addition, there are three (3) metal sectional overhead doors. The doors are in generally in good
condition, with no major issues reported or observed. It is expected that maintenance and periodic repairs
of the exterior doors will be completed as required.
The roof of the fire hall was found to consist of a low-sloped metal roofing system with a “near-flat” roof
section that consists of a single-ply TPO membrane. The roof systems are reportedly original to the
construction of the Site Buildings. The metal roofs appeared to be in generally good condition with no
observed signs of moisture infiltration. Pinchin recommends that while the completing the replacement of

2.0 UTILITY INFORMATION
The Erin Community Centre makes use of electricity, natural gas, propane and water. Monthly electricity
data consumption data was provided for November 2016 to December 2018. Natural gas data was
provided for the period of December 2016 to May 2019.
The date range for the various utilities do not align with each other. For an energy audit it is important to
be able to compare utility data for the same months; therefor, Pinchin will only analyze data from January
2017 to December 2018.
The utility consumption tables have been provided in Appendix I of the report.
Annual Utility Cost Breakdown
Analyzing annual costs of utilities is essential to prioritizing energy conservation measures. Figure 2-1
shows a breakdown of the average annual utility costs at Erin Fire Station No. 10. Electricity consumption
accounts for 69% ($7,495) of annual utility costs and natural gas accounts for 31% ($3,320). Electricity
consumption is assumed to be higher than natural gas as it is associated with a greater range of
applications such as the ice plant, lighting and plug loads. The combined average annual cost for all
utilities is $10,815. Pinchin has identified conservation measures for each utility which will be discussed in
later sections of the report.

Electricity is used on Site for supplemental heating, ventilation, lighting and plug loads. The average
monthly consumption is 11 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the winter having the
highest average with 13.7 GJ and summer having the lowest average with 7.6 GJ. The winter electricity
consumption was approximately 1.8 times higher than the summer consumption. This reflects the
operation of the electric heating during the fall and winter months which increases the electricity
consumption.
Natural gas is used on Site for space heating and domestic hot water heating. The average monthly
consumption is 19 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the winter having the highest
average with 37 GJ and summer having the lowest average with 0.2 GJ. The winter natural gas
consumption was approximately 158 times higher than the summer consumption. This is as expected as
space heating and domestic hot water heating are required less during the summer season.
2.2.2 Energy Consumption Analysis
To determine the effects of weather, two regression analyses were performed each for electricity
consumption and natural gas consumption in relation to heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree
days (CDD). The climate data used was referenced from Historical Climate Data (2019). The first two
analyses looked at the relationship between electricity consumption, heating degree days and cooling

Town of Erin FINAL
degree days.2 The correlation between consumption and HDD/CDD is expressed as the displayed value
of R2. Essentially, this represents the amount of energy used per increase in heating/cooling degree day.
The R2 value does not in any way represent how efficiently the system operates. The results in Figure 2-4
and Figure 2-5 show a moderate and weak linear relationship between HDD, CDD and electricity
consumption. The results indicate that the electricity use is mostly directed to base loads in the building.

3.0 ENERGY CONSUMPTION BENCHMARKING
Introduction to Energy Use Intensity
Energy use intensity (EUI) is a standard metric for energy consumption in buildings. The EUI is calculated
as a buildings annual energy consumption divided by its gross floor area. Normalizing the energy usage
for area allows for comparison between buildings and indicates relative performance.
The EUI is a limited metric as it is not normalized for other building characteristics such as climate zone.
To account for this limitation, the report will refer to ASHRAE Standard 100-2015 Energy target which
factors in building activity type, occupancy and climate zone. The targets “represent the 25th bottom (low
energy) percentile of energy use by each building category”3. The ASHRAE energy target for Erin Fire
Station No. 10 was determined to be 0.78 GJ/m2/year. Please refer to Appendix V for the assumptions
and calculations.
Energy Use Intensity Analysis
On average, from 2017 to 2018 Erin Fire Station No. 10 consumed 126 GJ of electricity and 232 GJ of
natural gas. This amounts to approximately 358 GJ of annual energy consumption. The gross floor area
is approximately 508 m2 (5,486 sf). The resulting EUI is therefore 0.70 GJ/m2/yr. The calculated EUI is 9%
lower than the ASHRAE energy target of 0.78 GJ/m2/yr.
It is economically feasible to further reduce the Site building’s energy consumption by improving the
efficiency of the building systems. Pinchin’s proposed energy conservation measures aim to reduce the
3

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
building’s EUI by approximately 23%, resulting in an EUI of 0.54 GJ/m2/yr. The annual energy cost and
maintenance savings associated with achieving the Post-Retrofit EUI is approximately $1,345.

Pinchin recommends installing submeters at major energy systems so a further cost analysis can be
performed, and more savings identified.
Actual Energy Use Breakdown
Pinchin generated an energy use breakdown for Erin Fire Station No. 10 with information collected on site
as well as previous building reports, equipment specifications and utility bill data provided by the client. In
the case of missing information, Pinchin made assumptions based on ice rink energy consumption
patterns. As seen in Figure 3-2, space heating accounts for 72% of energy consumed within the facility
and the ice rink accounts for 18%. Energy conservation measures are therefore concentrated primarily on
heating load reduction and refrigeration load reductions.

Programmable Thermostats Installation
The individual HVAC equipment is controlled by either programmable thermostats or manual standalone
thermostats. The Site Representative reported that the there was no thermostat program schedule in
place. During our Site Visit, the heating set point and setback were observed to be between 20-22°C (68-
72°F).
In the winter, it is recommended to set the thermostat to 20°C (68°F) during operating hours and 18°C
(65°F) degrees after hours. Each degree Fahrenheit raised in the summer or lowered in the winter
represents up to 3% of energy savings. Based on our observations, Pinchin assumed that the Site
Building can reduce its setback during winter by 1.7°C (3°F).

DHW Heater - Heat Pump Replacement
The existing electric DHW is high efficiency but not enough to achieve the energy star standard. Pinchin
recommends that the units are replaced at the end of their PUL with a heat pump system which can use
up to 65% less electricity. If a heat-pump DHW heater is not preferred, the second-best option would be
an electric tankless heater which can reduce energy consumption by 14% by eliminating standby heat
loss.

Motors
Installing a VFD to control the remaining pumps and motors would significantly reduce the amount of
energy consumed by reducing the motor’s operating speed and operating capacity in relation to the
demand within the facility.
The costs and savings have not been included for this measure as they could not be calculated with
confidence. VFDs reduce the operating power of the pumps to meet demand, as a result the components
experience less wear and tear, prolonging their PUL and reducing maintenance costs. This measure is
expected to yield some energy savings; no comfort savings are expected to be obtained.
Demand Control Ventilation
The existing ventilation system does not appear to have CO2 sensors on all equipment and is assumed
to operate at pre-set ventilation rates, typically based on the maximum occupancy level of the building. As
the occupancy level fluctuates continuously, energy is wasted when the occupancy drops below these
pre-determined rates. An even larger source of electricity waste is the 24/7 operation of the truck bay
ceiling exhaust fans.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) ventilates as well as condition the air during heating periods, based on
the occupancy level at any specific time. CO2 sensors are used to monitor air quality and provide real-
time feedback to the controls. The controls then adjust the fan speed, modifying the ventilation rates to
suit the number of occupants in the building.

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
The client intends to install a Nederman vehicle exhaust extraction system with a motor drive. Pinchin
recommends connecting the drive to include CO2 sensors. The costs and savings have not been
included for this measure as they could not be calculated with confidence. This measure is expected to
yield energy, thermal comfort and maintenance benefits. Pinchin recommends further investigate using
an energy modelling software program.
Vending Machine – Energy Star Refurbishment
The existing vending machine is a standard efficiency model. An Energy Star model can save 40% on
energy consumption through more efficient compressors, fan motors and lighting systems. The Energy
Star machines also incorporate a low power mode for periods of low occupancy.

The majority of interior lighting at the Site Building is assumed to be a mixture of the following:
 2’x4’ recessed troffers with one to four 32W T8 fluorescent tube lamps and electronic
ballasts;
 1’x4’ surface mount troffers with one to two 32W T8 fluorescent tube lamps and
electronic ballasts;
 8' suspended fixtures with two 60W T5 fluorescent tube lamps;
 LED and CFL pot lights;
 Exterior 150W W HPS wall pack; and

 Exterior CFL and LED pot lights.
While the fluorescent T8s are efficient compared to older T12 lights, modern LED T8s are 63% more
efficient than the equivalent fluorescent lamp [going from 32 W to 12W]. The LED pot lights are
approximately 30% more efficient than their CFL counterparts.

The LED retrofit will allow for less maintenance due to their improved longevity when compared to
fluorescent and incandescent fixtures. As the cost and lifespan of fixtures will fluctuate, the payback
period will not factor in maintenance related savings. Pinchin does not expect comfort/health benefits to
be obtained.
As outlined in Figure 7-1, the recommended improvements to the lighting system are expected to reduce
annual electricity consumption by up to 14 GJ, and the power demand by up to 0.12 GJ. These
reductions translate to $441 in annual savings. Table 6-1 outlines the estimated costs, savings and

Motion Controlled Light Switch Installation
The lighting systems at Erin Fire Station No. 10 are generally occupant controlled. Pinchin recommends
installing more motion detecting light switches to control the lighting throughout the entire building. The
motion detectors reduce energy loss due to lights being left on in unoccupied rooms. One demerit of
motion controlled light switches is that they will continue operation of the lighting system for 90 seconds
after the occupant has left the area. These systems also consume energy 24/7 to remain in standby
mode.
Table 6-3 outlines the estimated costs, savings and incentives associated with implementing the motion
controlled light switch upgrades after the LED lighting retrofit at Erin Fire Station No. 10.

7.0 BUILDING ENVELOPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Window Retrofit
Pinchin completed a review of the current window systems throughout the building during the on-Site
review. Window assemblies are mostly from construction of the original building (2013).
Pinchin used the software Lbnl Window to calculate the overall U-value of the current windows. The heat
loss from existing windows were calculated as 20.9 GJ, resulting in $160 of associated utility costs.
Pinchin has modelled the heat transfer for two different types of replacement windows. The first proposed
option is a full replacement with double glazed window systems with an adjusted U-value of 1.40 W/m2K,
as mandated by Energy Star for Climate Zone 2. The replacement windows are anticipated as being vinyl
framed.
The second proposed option is a full replacement with triple glazed window systems with an adjusted U-
value of 0.8 W/m2K. The replacement windows are anticipated as being vinyl framed.

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
The analysis used an average of the 2017 and 2018 climate and energy data to determine potential
energy savings. The new double glazing and triple glazing windows would have only accounted for 505
GJ and 3.2 GJ respectively. The associated annual energy cost is approximately $40 for double glazing
windows and $24 for triple glazing windows. The proposed systems would result in 60% and 78% less
heat loss than the old windows and an annual savings of $116 and $133 respectively (refer to Figure 8-1).

Continued Inspections
Pinchin recommends regular building condition inspections to prevent against deteriorations going
unknown. Ongoing preventative maintenance ensures small-scale deficiencies are addressed before they
lead to a large-scale capital projects being required premature to the end of their lifespan.
Bi-monthly roof inspections should be conducted to ensure the following:
 Eavestroughs area continuous, secured firmly in place and clear of debris: and
 Signs of water infiltration should be identified and remediated.
Eavestroughs are particularly susceptible to damage in the winter months. Water can infiltrate into the
flashing edges, expands during the freeze temperatures and thaw, leaving behind gaps allowing water to
penetrate further into the roof system. Pinchin expects this measure to yield energy savings; however, no
comfort or maintenance benefits are expected.

9.0 DISCARDED CONSIDERATIONS
Pinchin considered and rejected the following recommendations due to their low return on investment.
Install a Digital BAS (Building Automation System)
As previously mentioned, ventilation and space heating within the facility area provided controlled via a
combination of digital and pneumatic thermostats.
The installation of a BAS will allow the Building manager to optimize the efficiency and accuracy of all wall
mounted thermostats, exhaust fans and the ice plant. It would be possible to achieve the desired space
conditions faster than before and reduce the amount of space heating required. This measure is expected
to provide energy savings and comfort benefits Table 10-1 outlines the estimated savings associated with
the pneumatic to digital BAS conversion at the Erin Fire Station No. 10. This measure will reduce the
HVAC energy consumption by about 15%.

 Automation level Local Area Networks (LAN);
 Field instrumentation including intelligent sensors;
 Automatic Digital Control Valves;
 Actuators for automatic valves and motorised dampers (DDC Control);
 Software;
 Cable and containment; and
 All power supplies and conditioners, interlocking and control relays, equipment enclosures
and other components, materials and services required for a completed and fully operational

 Fully networked;
 Real time;
 Distributed processing; and
 No single point of failure.

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
The new BAS shall be configured to ensure reliability of systems operation and control of critical
functions/systems. Each contractor must verify on their own that the BAS is compatible with the
equipment to be controlled.
Supplemental Roof Insulation
Pinchin completed a review of the roofing system of Site building during the on-Site review. Based on
typical construction methods, observed blisters and reported leaks, Pinchin assumes the current roof
assembly R value (imperial) is approximately R20. Pinchin calculated the heat loss from the roof as
approximately 90 GJ/year, resulting in an annual energy cost of approximately $700.
Pinchin recommends supplementing the insulation levels to reach R40. The additional insulation would
only account for approximately 45 GJ/year based on the 2017-2018 heating degree-days. The associated
annual energy cost is approximately $350. The proposed insulation levels would result in 50% less heat
loss than the existing levels and an annual savings of $350.
Table 9-2 outlines the estimated costs, savings and incentives associated with supplementing the roof
insulation levels at Erin Fire Station No. 10. The insulation will also reduce the buildings refrigeration load,
however due to many unknown variables it has not been factored into the savings and payback period.

Supplemental Wall Insulation
Pinchin completed a review of the exterior wall system of Site building during the on-Site review. Based
on the architectural drawings and construction methods in the 2013, Pinchin assumes the current wall
assembly is R20 on average.
Pinchin calculated the heat loss from the exterior wall system as approximately 107 GJ/year, resulting in
an annual energy cost of approximately $850.

October 3, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
Pinchin recommends supplementing the insulation levels to reach R40 (with exception of the third floor).
The new insulation levels would only account for approximately 54 GJ/year based on the average 2017-
2018 annual heating degree days. The associated annual energy cost is approximately $425. The
proposed insulation levels would result in 50% less heat loss than the existing levels and an annual
savings of $425.
Table 9-3 outlines the estimated costs, savings and incentives associated with supplementing the wall
insulation levels at Erin Fire Station No. 10. Pinchin presents this option aware that it may lead to a loss
of architectural character at the Site Building. We therefore recommend this retrofit to take place when/if
building envelope repairs are required due to the poor thermal performance (i.e. significant cracking).

10.0 NON-FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Pinchin has also reviewed the potential conservation measures with consideration to non-financial
benefits classified into the following:
1. Potential improvements to health and safety within the Site building.
2. Potential improvements to operational procedures within the Site building.
3. Potential improvements occupant comfort within the Site building.
All energy savings measures that Pinchin considered have been recommended in this report.
11.0 RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR ASHRAE LEVEL III (CAPITAL GRADE) ENERGY AUDIT
Pinchin recommends a capital grade analysis of the following measures:
 VFDs at pumps and VSDs at motors (Recommendation 5.1)
o Model the reduction in corresponding energy savings.
 Demand Control Ventilation (Recommendation 5.2)

October 3, 2019

Individual Mechanical Equipment Loads
 Assumptions:
 All equipment loads with unknown operating hours will operate with equal proportion, except
heating.
 Heating equipment only operates during heating season, as determined by the portion of
Brampton HDDs from 2017 to 2018 (i.e. 94%).
 The portion of the energy that a piece of equipment uses is equal to its demand multiplied by
the seasonal proportion of their use and divided by the sum of all demands using that same
utility (gas/electric) whose annual loads do not have assumed operating hours (i.e. lighting,
elevators, standalone coolers and freezers and office equipment plug loads).
 The portion of the energy that a piece of non-seasonal equipment uses is equal to its demand
divided by the sum of all non-seasonal equipment demands using that same utility
(gas/electric) whose annual loads are have NOT known/previously assumed, multiplied by
100% subtracted by the sum of all seasonal proportions for the corresponding utility.

 The overall energy use is equal to the calculated portion of energy consumption for a piece of
equipment multiplied by the annual average for the corresponding utility.

Program Thermostats
 Assumptions:
 Programmable thermostats have historically been set to 68°F in the summer and 68°F in the
winter.
 The new thermostat program will involve reducing the heating setback to 65°F degrees.

comprised of 5,574 m2 of recreation space. The building operates as the Community Centre with some
leased spaces and shared halls. Site amenity areas include a theatre, food bank, adult and child daycare
centres, and shared space with the adjacent Erin District high school.
The ice rink is open from September to April. Due to the fluctuation in program attendance, the average
number of occupants is difficult to accurately specify. The Site Representative informed Pinchin that there
are 2.5 full-time equivalent staff who primarily work from 7am to 4pm, year-round. Pinchin noted an
additional 4 staff working in the adult and child daycare centres. In addition, the Site Representative
reported that, during the skating season, there are on average 500 visitors on week days and 1000
visitors a day during the weekend. In the summer the building is used occasionally for community events
and summer camps. The Site representative estimated that there is approximately 1 event a week, with
200 visitors on average in the banquet hall. Additionally, the adult day program and child daycare runs
Monday to Friday year-round. The snack bar is assumed to be used 25 hours a week during the skating
season, while the fridges and coolers operate all year.

Heating, cooling, and ventilation of the Site Building are provided by eight (8) gas-fired roof top units
(RTUs), one (1) air-conditioning unit, one (1) gas-fired make up air unit (MUA), one (1) gas-fired unit
heater (UH), one (1) infrared radiant (IR) tube heater with associated supply and exhaust fans and one
(1) boiler with associated hydronic radiators located in the original building. Additional heating is supplied
by electric force flow and baseboard heaters. Additional ventilation is provided by the kitchen make up air
units, up flow exhaust fans, hood fan and washroom exhaust fans.
Four (4) natural gas packaged rooftop air handling units are located on the roof above the first floor, and
provide heating, cooling, and ventilation for the adult day center, theatre, lobby and office areas. The units
have Based on nameplate information, the “York” units have input capacities of 180,000 BTUH and
240,000 BTUH and were manufactured between 2014 and 2017.
One (1) natural gas packaged roof top air handling unit (HVAC - 14), which provides heating, cooling, and
ventilation for the Upper Cafeteria area, is located on the roof of the Site Building above the 2nd floor
area. The unit has a medium-efficiency. Based on the nameplate information, the “Carrier” unit was
manufactured in 1999 (~ 20 years old) and has an input capacity of 150,000 BTUH. Refrigerant for this
unit is R-22. This unit appears to be running properly and no outstanding deficiencies were noted by the
Site Representative. However, based on its age the rooftop unit has achieved its PUL.
One (1) natural gas packaged roof top air handling unit (HVAC - 1) is located on the roof above the 2nd
floor area, and provides heating, cooling and ventilation for Room 128. The unit has a medium-efficiency.
Nameplate information indicates that it is a “Carrier” unit manufactured in 2000 (~ 18 years old), with an
input capacity of 180,000 BTUH. Refrigerant for this unit is R-22. The unit appears to be running properly
and no outstanding deficiencies were noted by the Site Representative. However, based on its age the
rooftop unit has achieved its PUL.
One (1) natural gas packaged roof top air handling unit is located on the lower roof above the lobby of
Site Building. This unit provides heating, cooling, and ventilation for the theatre and theatre lobby. The
unit has a medium-efficiency. Based on the nameplate information, the “Carrier” unit was manufactured in
1999 (~ 20 years old) and have input capacities of 150,000 BTUH each. Refrigerant for the unit is R-22.
The unit appeared to be running properly and no outstanding deficiencies were noted by the Site
Representative. However, based on its age the rooftop unit has achieved its PUL.
All the above mentioned RTUs have a natural gas heating section, DX cooling section, a supply fan,
economizer and a filter section.
One (1) “Trane” natural gas roof top unit is located on the roof of the 2000 addition, and supplies heat to
the new change rooms, food bank and the skate sharpening office. The nameplate was not visible. The
mechanical drawings indicate that the unit was intended to have an input capacity of 58.6 kW.

Town of Erin FINAL
One (1) 2.5 ton “Trane” air conditioning unit is located on the roof of the 2000 addition, and supplies
cooling to the new change rooms, food bank and the skate sharpening office.
The one (1) “ENGINEERED AIR” natural gas indirect fired MUA serves the theatre located on the high
roof of the building. The nameplate was missing at the time of the inspection. The unit appeared to be
approximately 20 years old. An additional “ENGINEERED AIR” natural gas indirect fired MUA serves the
daycare centre and two classrooms. The Site Representative informed Pinchin that this MUA is not the
responsibility of the Town of Erin. Based on the nameplate information, the “Engineered Air” unit was
manufactured in 2000 (~ 18 years old). The unit appeared to be running properly and no outstanding
deficiencies were noted by the Site Representative. However, based on its age the rooftop unit has
achieved its PUL.
The two (2) “Spring Air” MUA units are associated with the two kitchens. The exact age of the units is
unknown; however, they appear to be more than 20 years old. Pinchin recommends to replace the units
and update the system as per Code requirements.
As previously mentioned, some of the units are using refrigerant R-22, which is part of a group of
refrigerants that are due to be phased out as part of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete
the Ozone Layer. Production of R-22 refrigerant in use at this facility is on track for a 99.5% phase out by
2020, and a 100% phase out by 2030. This means R-22 refrigerant is becoming more difficult to find,
more expensive to purchase, and equipment which operates on R-22 will become more difficult to repair
or replace as manufacturers move to equipment using newer refrigerants. Also, the replacement could be
completed in a phased and planned approach.
Rooftop heating/cooling units typically have a PUL of 20 to 25 years but can often operate well past their
PUL with regular maintenance and service work as required. It is recommended to replace the existing
RTUs and MUA units at the end of their PUL with the highest efficiency units available (Heating: 91%;
Cooling: 18 SEER) to reduce energy consumption.
It is recommended to replace the gas fired is located with a modulating condensing boiler at the end of its
PUL. Natural gas-fired steam boilers typically have a PUL of 25 to 30 years. The conversion to a
modulating condensing boiler would improve efficiency of building operations, improve occupant comfort
and reduce energy consumption and utility costs. This recommendation is discussed further in Section 4
of the report.
The unit heater and IR tube heater are controlled via standalone thermostats while the RTUs and MUAs
are controlled using a programmable wall mounted thermostat located in each zone. Programmable
thermostats increase the ease for ECMs, such as temperature setbacks, to be implemented within the
facility.

Town of Erin FINAL
The Site Representative reported that there is a specified set point during the winter operating hours, but
not in the summer. A prescribed thermostat program would reduce energy consumption and utility costs.
This suggested upgrade is discussed further in Section 4 of the report.
There is currently no building automation system (BAS) in place at Erin Community Centre. The
conversion to a BAS system would improve efficiency of building operations, improve occupant comfort
and reduce energy consumption and utility costs. This recommendation is discussed further in Section 4
of the report.
Domestic hot water production and storage within the facility is a year-round operation and is primarily
consumed by the domestic water fixtures and the ice resurfacer. Domestic hot water (DHW) production is
accomplished with two (2) 400,000 Btuh “Lochinvar” DHW heaters (manufactured in 2010), one (1)
80,000 Btuh “AO Smith” DHW heater (manufactured in 1993) and one (1) 75,1000 Btuh “Lochinvar” DHW
heaters (manufactured in 2016).
The recommended upgrades are discussed further in Section 4 of the report.

Conventional and high efficiency (HE) faucets, toilets and urinals are found throughout the Site building.
Pinchin recommends the conventional and HE fixtures should be replaced with ultra-low flow alternatives.
These recommendations are discussed in further detail in Section 6.0 of the report.
Water conserving measures are expected to reduce water costs and wear and tear within water
consuming systems. Table 1-6 lists Pinchin’s water conservation recommendations at Erin Community

Lighting
The lighting systems within Erin Community Centre consists of T5 linear fluorescent lamps and T8 linear
fluorescent lamps with HPS wall packs, fluorescent pot lights and metal halide light standards located at
the exterior. The majority of the lighting system is controlled manually. A number of washroom fixtures
have been placed on motion sensors which deactivate the light if there is no activity near them.
The fluorescent, metal halide and HPS fixtures currently in use are inefficient and it is recommended that
they are replaced with LED alternatives. A lighting upgrade would reduce energy consumption and utility
costs. These upgrades are discussed further in Section 7 of the report. Refer to Figure 1-3 and Table 1-7.

Building Envelope
The exterior wall system consists of brick masonry at the East portion of the Site Building while the West
portion of Arena consists of split-ribbed architectural block masonry with areas of metal cladding. Overall,
the wall systems were noted to be in generally good to fair condition. There were areas of the metal
cladding noted to have impact damage. Pinchin recommends periodic repairs to the wall systems be
completed to maintain the integrity of the building envelope and prevent air leaks.

Town of Erin FINAL
Window assemblies are mostly from construction of the original building (1977), and of the additions
(1992, 2000, and 2010). The punched window systems of the Site Building generally consist of fixed or
operable insulated glazed (IG) units, or operable (i.e., horizontally sliding) single glazed (SG) units within
aluminum frames, complete with insect screens. There is also an aluminum framed curtainwall system
installed on the North elevation stairwell. As observed from ground level and accessible rooms within the
interior of the building, the windows appeared to be in generally fair condition. As the Site representative
reported that the existing windows are drafty, Pinchin recommends that as they approach their Projected
Useful Life (PUL), they be replaced with modern IGU systems to offer improved thermal performance.
The main and secondary entrance doors of the Site Building consist of IG unit prefinished aluminum
doors within prefinished aluminum frames. Secondary exit doors consist of hollow metal doors within
metal frames. In addition, there are two (2) overhead garage doors on the North and West elevation. The
doors are in good to fair condition, with areas of corrosion at the metal frames and poor weather-stripping.
Pinchin recommends repairs to the corroded frames and weather-stripping to ensure the heat transfer
and air leakage are minimized at points of entry.
The roof has several sections; a built-up roof (BUR) system atop the community centre; an inverted roof
system atop the Northwest portion; a modified bitumen roof system atop the entrance canopy; and a
sloped metal roof system atop the arena. The roof systems are reportedly original to the original building
(1977), and the additions (1992, 2000, and 2010). The metal roof was reportedly coated/overlain with a
membrane 15 years ago (circa 2003). The Site staff reported that the inverted roof is leaking at the
Northwest maintenance shop on the West elevation. The BUR system was found to in poor condition with
wind scouring, ponding water, debris and localized vegetation growth observed, as well as an active leak
reported at the Southwest corner.
Moisture degrades the performance of the insulation resulting in a lower R value. Pinchin recommends
repair of the leaks at the affected roofs and upon replacement of the roof systems, that supplemental
insulation be provided to improve the overall thermal performance. Regular maintenance and condition
reviews are recommended.

accounts for 67% ($121,249); natural gas accounts for 21% ($39,055); water accounts for 10% ($18,326);
and propane accounts for 2% ($3,054) of the annual utility costs. Electricity consumption is assumed to
be higher than natural gas as it is associated with a greater range of applications such as the ice plant,
lighting and plug loads. The combined average annual cost for all utilities is $181,326. Pinchin has
identified conservation measures for each utility which will be discussed in later sections of the report.

Electricity is used on Site for ice plant, ventilation, lighting and plug loads. The average monthly
consumption is 185 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the fall having the highest average
with 279 GJ and spring having the lowest average with 69 GJ. The fall electricity consumption was 4
times higher than the spring consumption. This reflects the operation of the ice plant during the fall, winter
and spring months which significantly increases the electricity consumption.

Town of Erin FINAL
Natural gas is used on Site for space heating, domestic hot water heating and cooking. The average
monthly consumption is 401 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the winter having the
highest average with 692 GJ and summer having the lowest average with 39 GJ. The winter natural gas
consumption was approximately 18 times higher than the summer consumption. This is as expected as
space heating and domestic hot water heating is required less during the summer season and the
building occupancy is concentrated between September and April.
Propane gas is used on Site for the ice resurfacer. The average monthly consumption is 6 GJ. The
seasonal averages were compared, with the fall having the highest average with 11 GJ and summer
having the lowest average with 6 GJ. The fall propane gas consumption was approximately 2 times
higher than the summer consumption. This is as expected as ice resurfacer is required less during the
summer season and the building occupancy is concentrated between September and April.

consumption and HDD. The results indicate that the natural gas use is mostly related to the occupancy of
the building.
The results are understandable as natural gas is used to for space heating and domestic hot water
heating and the building is generally only occupied between October and April. The results in Figure 2-7
show a moderate negetive linear relationship between warm outdoor temperatures and natural gas
consumption. This is expected as natural gas use is reduced in the warmer weather.

4,617 m3. Figure 2-11 shows the correlation between water consumption, monthly Heating Degree Days
and monthly Cooling Degree Days measured in degrees Celsius (°C). A rise in consumption was
observed in Fall 2017, otherwise the water usage appears to be steady. Fluctuations of water
consumption could have been attributed to many factors: potential shifts in occupancy of the Site building,
installation of different fixtures, leaks, etc.

Water Consumption (m3) HDD CDD
Figure 2-12 is a graphical representation of water consumption in relation to the increase in number of
cooling degree days (CDD), at the Site building. From this graph, no patterns in measured water
consumption can be seen to occur in relation to the measured number of cooling degree days. The
correlation between consumption and CDD is expressed as the displayed value of R2 in Figure 2-12.
Essentially, this represents the amount of water lost per increase in cooling degree day. The R2 value
does not in any way represent how efficiently the system operates. On a scale of 0% to 100%, the
relation between water consumption and CDD can be expressed as 2%, which indicates very poor
correlation. The correlation is expected as the building does not use a cooling tower for space cooling in
the summer and does not have an irrigation system.

energy) percentile of energy use by each building category” 2. The ASHRAE energy target for Erin
Community Centre was determined to be 0.53 GJ/m2/year. Please refer to Appendix V for the
assumptions and calculations.
On average, from 2017 to 2018 Erin Community Centre consumed 2,225 GJ of electricity and 4,811 GJ of
natural gas. It is assumed that the Site uses 73 GJ of propane gas. This amounts to approximately 7,109
GJ of annual energy consumption. The gross floor area is approximately 5,574 m2 (43,163 sf). The
resulting EUI is therefore 1.28 GJ/m2/yr. The calculated EUI is 2.4 times higher than the ASHRAE energy
target of 0.53 GJ/m2/yr.
It is economically feasible to reduce the Site building’s energy consumption by improving the efficiency of
the building systems. Pinchin’s proposed energy conservation measures aim to reduce the building’s EUI

Pinchin generated an energy use breakdown for Erin Community Centre with information collected on site
as well as previous building reports, building drawings, equipment specifications and utility bill data
provided by the client. In the case of missing information, Pinchin made assumptions based on ice rink
energy consumption patterns. As seen in Figure 3-2, space heating accounts for 60% of energy
consumed within the facility and the ice rink accounts for 18%. Energy conservation measures are
therefore concentrated primarily on heating load reduction and refrigeration load reductions.

The current heating system uses manually controlled thermostats for the unit heater, IR tube heaters
base board heaters and force flow heaters and programmable thermostats for the RTUs, MUAs and
hydronic radiators. Pinchin was informed that the winter set point is approximately 20.6°C (69°F) and the
setback is approximately 17.8°C (64°F). At the time of our Site visit, the cooling set point was 22°C
(71.6°F). There was no scheduled program in place for the cooling setback temperature.
Replacing the standalone thermostats with programmable thermostats will allow for automatic occupied
and unoccupied scheduling, optimal occupied set points and optimal unoccupied setback temperatures.

Town of Erin FINAL
In the summer, it is recommended to set the thermostat to 25.6°C (78°F) during operating hours and
29.4°C (85°F) degrees after hours. Each degree Fahrenheit raised in the summer or lowered in the winter
Building can increase its set point during summer by 4.6°C (6.4°F) and its set back by 7.4°C (13.4°F)
thereby leading to a 34% reduction in cooling costs.

MUA - High Efficiency Replacement
The existing “ENG A” MUA was missing its name plate. Based of previous reports and the mechanical
drawings, Pinchin assumed the unit has a thermal capacity of 1,000 MBtu, with an efficiency of 70% and
cooling capacity of 17.2 kW and an EER of 10.1. It is assumed to supply 12000 CFM of air. Due to the
age and condition, Pinchin assumed a 10% loss in efficiency. The unit is considered mid-efficiency and
there are much more efficient units available today.
High-efficiency MUA units use a fuel to heat fresh air, producing flue gases. The flue gases are
condensed which releases the latent heat; the heat exchangers reclaim the waste heat to further
condition the supply air.
Pinchin recommends replacing the existing MUA with a 91% efficient unit, with an 18 EER and a variable
frequency drive. that has an EER of 18 to reduce energy consumption. This improvement in efficiency

Boiler - Replacement
The existing gas-fired atmospheric boiler has an 80% efficiency, which is low compared to the high
efficiency models that are now available.
Condensing boilers use fuel to heat water for space heating, producing flue gases. The boiler reduces the
temperature of the exhausted flue gases to below 60°C, causing the gases to condense into a liquid,
releasing latent heat in the process. This heat, typically wasted, is recaptured as used to preheat the cold
return water, saving energy.
This is a good opportunity to install a modulating condensing boiler, which will have an efficiency of up to
98%. Due to the large improvement in efficiency, the heating capacity of the unit can be reduced by
without interrupting the heating output. This measure will reduce the relevant gas consumption by about
21%, improve comfort and reduce chimney repairs and maintenance costs. Refer to Table 4-6.

Ice Plant Heat Recovery
There does not appear to be a heat recovery program in place at the Site Building. Due to occupant
activities, lighting and space heating, the ice plant must continuously remove excess heat from the ice
slab in order to keep the ice at the desired temperature. Presently that heat is released outside using the
evaporative condenser, all while the building HVAC systems are generating heat for the interior. It would
reduce the heating load of the HVAC systems if the heat from the ice plant was recovered and used for
space heating, snow melting or DHW heating. The amount of heat an ice rink can potentially recover

5.1.1 Brine Pump
There is presently no VFD on the brine pump. It is assumed to currently operate in full capacity
approximately 12 hours a day. When the Brine pump operates it introduces heat into the brine line,
thereby decreasing the efficiency of the ice plant and increasing the refrigeration load as the plant must
work harder to remove that heat. It is recommended to install a VFD on the Brine pump motor to reduce
the motor’s operating speed and operating capacity in relation to the demand within the facility. This
reduced refrigeration load will also reduce the operating hours of the compressor, a dominant load within
the ice plant.

The existing ventilation system does not appear to have CO2 censors and is assumed to operate at pre-
set ventilation rates, typically based on the maximum occupancy level of the building. As the occupancy

Town of Erin FINAL
level fluctuates continuously, energy is wasted when the occupancy drops below these pre-determined
rates.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) ventilates as well as condition the air during heating or cooling
periods, based on the occupancy level at any specific time. CO2 sensors are used to monitor air quality
and provide real-time feedback to the controls. The controls then adjust the fan speed, modifying the
ventilation rates to suit the number of occupants in the building.
Pinchin recommends connecting the RTU and MUAs to include CO2 sensors. Enbridge currently offers a
$500 incentive for each RTU/MUA with a CO2 sensor. The costs and savings have not been included for
this measure as they could not be calculated with confidence. This measure is expected to yield energy,
thermal comfort and maintenance benefits. Pinchin recommends further investigate using an energy
modelling software program.
6.0 WATER CONSERVATION
Domestic Systems
Based on the information gathered from the domestic water system audit, most toilets, urinals, shower
heads, kitchen faucets and lavatory faucets have conventional flow rates.
The Site buildings can reduce water if they update the remaining toilets, urinals, shower heads, kitchen
faucets and lavatory faucets to ultra low flow options (< 4.8 LPF, <0.5 LPF, < 3.8 LPM, <3.8 LPM and
<1.9 LPM respectively).
6.1.1 High Efficiency Toilets
High efficiency toilets consume 4.8 litres per flush (LPF), while conventional toilets consume 13.25 LPF.
As shown in The water-using systems in use at Erin Community Centre consist of the following: Ice
resurfacer, kitchen faucets, lavatory faucets, toilet, urinals and shower heads. It should be noted that Erin

108,993 litres a year.
6.1.2 High Efficiency Urinals
High efficiency urinals consume 3.8 LPF, while ultra low flow urinals consume 0.5 LPF toilets consume
13.25 LPF. As shown in The water-using systems in use at Erin Community Centre consist of the
following: Ice resurfacer, kitchen faucets, lavatory faucets, toilet, urinals and shower heads. It should be

models would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately 87% or 78,014 litres a year.
6.1.3 High Efficiency Bathroom Faucets
High efficiency bathroom faucets consume 1.9 litres per minute (LPM) of use, significantly lower than that
of conventional 8.3 LPM faucets. As shown in The water-using systems in use at Erin Community Centre
consist of the following: Ice resurfacer, kitchen faucets, lavatory faucets, toilet, urinals and shower heads.
It should be noted that Erin Community Centre does not possess a water meter.Error! Not a valid

Table 1-4, the Site building currently makes use of upgraded 5.7 LPM faucets and conventional faucets.
Converting all the faucets to higher efficiency 1.9 LPM faucets would reduce the associated water
consumption by approximately 67% or 306,942 litres a year.
6.1.4 High Efficiency Kitchen Faucets
High efficiency kitchen faucets consume 5.7 LPM, ultra-low flow faucets consume 3.8 LPM, while
conventional kitchen faucets consume 8.3 LPM. As shown in Table 1-5, the Site building currently makes
use of conventional 8.3 LPM kitchen faucet fixtures. Converting the conventional kitchen faucets to ultra-
low flow 3.8 LPM faucets would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately 54% or 2,669
litres a year.
6.1.5 High Efficiency Shower Heads
High efficiency showerheads consume 5.7 LPM, while ultra-low flow showerheads consume 3.8 LPM and
conventional showerheads consume 9.5 LPM. As shown in Table 1-7, the Site building currently makes
use of fifteen (15) shower heads. The flowrates of the showers were assumed to be 9.6 LPM. Converting
shower heads to ultra-low flow models would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately
60% or 873062 litres a year. In addition, the retrofit would reduce energy consumption associated with
domestic hot water heating by approximately 54 GJ.

Install a meter on the main water line and sub-meters at the irrigation and Domestic Hot
Water.
Based on information gathered on Site, there is no meter on the main water line and there are no sub
meters installed on the irrigation or domestic hot water. It is highly recommended that the sub-meters be
installed and recorded on a regular basis to track water consumption. Sub-metering will not save water
but will help identify water consumption trends and opportunities for savings.
Maintenance on Water Fixtures and Mechanical Equipment
Regular inspection of valves and faucets should be completed in order to minimize the risk of broken
fixture components from leaking water, resulting in higher than average water bills. For instance, flush
valve diaphragms can crack, leak, and waste approximately 10,000 gallons of water annually (based on
USA EPA studies). While flush valves are not in use, it is reasonable to conclude that leaking flapper
valves and faucets will also lead to considerable amounts of water being wasted. The maintenance
measures should be implemented into the general building maintenance list.
From an operation and maintenance standpoint, Pinchin has the following recommendations:
• Inspect water closets for silent leaks by adding food colouring to the water reservoir and
checking the bowl for any signs of colour after 10 minutes of adding the food colouring;
• Perform quarterly walkthroughs to check for leaks in piping or water fixtures;
• Install durable high quality O-rings when carrying out repairs to water fixtures; and
• Communicate with occupants to report any leaks as soon as they are detected.
Continue to implement an aggressive preventative maintenance program for the DHW system systems to
reduce the rejection rate from both systems and increase performance efficiency.

Ice Resurfacer
It is common for operators of ice resurfacer to fill the tank to its fill capacity instead of the minimum level
of water required for ice resurfacing. If the tank is filled beyond the minimum requirements, the extra
water will cool down without being used and the energy spent to heat the extra water will go to waste. As
much as 344,736 litres ($1,370) could be wasted annually due to this practice.
Review the operating guide for the ice resurfacer and Install a gauge so that operators can tell when the
unit is sufficiently filled.

The lighting systems at Erin Community Centre are generally user controlled with the exception of motion
controlled lighting in the washrooms. Pinchin recommends installing more motion detecting light switches
to control the lighting throughout the entire building. The motion detectors reduce energy loss due to
lights being left on in unoccupied rooms. One demerit of motion controlled light switches is that they will
continue operation of the lighting system for 90 seconds after the occupant has left the area. These
systems also consume energy 24/7 to remain in standby mode.

comprised of 2,212.5 m2 of recreation space. The Site Building provides an ice rink and banquet hall.
The ice rink is open from September to March, and the community centre continues to operate in April.
Due to the fluctuation in program attendance, the average number of occupants is difficult to accurately
specify. The Site Representative informed Pinchin that there are 2.5 full-time equivalent staff who
primarily work from 3:00pm to 11pm, during the week and from 7:00am to 10:00pm on the weekend for
September to March and from 8:00am to 4:00pm for April. In addition, the Site Representative reported
that there are on average 300 visitors a day during the skating season. In the summer the building is used
occasionally for community events, with approximately 2 events a year with 150 visitors each. The snack
bar is assumed to be used 20 hours a week during the skating season, while the fridges and coolers
operate all year.
• The evaporative condenser for the ice plant was replaced in 2016.
• One RTU on the upper roof level was replaced in 2017.
• The halogen lighting in the arena was upgraded to LED in 2017.

HVAC Equipment
The primary HVAC equipment in use at Hillsburgh Community Centre is described in the following
section. A full list of the HVAC equipment is provided in Appendix III.
Heating, cooling and ventilation of the Site Building are provided by two (2) gas fired furnaces and two (2)
electric roof top cooling units (RTUs) with associated supply and exhaust fans as well as one (1) gas-fired
unit heater (UH) and two (2) electric force flow heaters. Additional heating in the referee box is supplied

by plug in, electric space heaters. Additional ventilation is provided by washroom exhaust fans and the
kitchen hood fan.
The two (2) furnaces in service are mid-efficiency Brock Engineering models which consist of a gas
furnace for heating and a blower motor section that blows the air into the building through the ducts. Air
distribution is conducted via duct diffusers, which were observed to be damaged in the change rooms.
The furnaces heat the original, community centre portion of the building.
The two (2) rooftop cooling units are located on the roof of the Site Building, above the 2nd floor
community centre area and provide cooling for the upstairs event space. The Carrier “50TC” model was
manufactured in 2017 and has a cooling capacity of 24.3kW with an Energy Efficiency ratio of 11.2. The
unit has two accessory electric heaters (and a power exhaust) installed with 17kW and 34kW heating
capacities.
The name plate was missing on the older, Carrier “Weathermaster” model. Based on partial data
collected, Pinchin assumed for the energy model that the unit has a cooling capacity of 20 Tons with a
SEER of 9.6. Refrigerant for the older unit is R-22.
One (1) suspended gas fired unit heater serves the ice resurfacer room, one (1) electric force flow heater
(FFH) serves the sports office, one (1) electric FFH serves the referee box and one (2) electric FFH
serves the ice resurfacer room. The suspended gas fired unit heater has a heating capacity of 50,000
Btuh and was manufactured in 1994; the unit appears to be approaching the end of its PUL. The ages
and capacities of the unit heaters could not be determined from available unit data. They are assumed to
be original to the additions and have heating capacities ranging from 2-3kW.
The two (2) dehumidification units are located directly below the roof in the arena area. The units are
installed on structural mezzanines located at the Northeast and Southeast corners of the arena and
discharging directly into the arena space. The units are controlled by their own thermostats and appear to
be original to the building. The dehumidifying equipment is utilizing R-22 refrigerant.
R-22 is part of a group of refrigerants that are due to be phased out as part of the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Production of R-22 refrigerant in use at this facility is on track
for a 99.5% phase out by 2020, and a 100% phase out by 2030. This means R-22 refrigerant is becoming
more difficult to find, more expensive to purchase, and equipment which operates on R-22 will become
more difficult to repair or replace as manufacturers move to equipment using newer refrigerants.
The individual HVAC equipment is controlled by individual wall mounted thermostats. Programmable
thermostats are recommended as they increase the ease for ECMs, such as temperature setbacks, to be
implemented within the facility. Pinchin recommends that the ice plant for the arena be connected to a
BAS. The conversion to a BAS system would improve efficiency of building operations, improve occupant

comfort and reduce energy consumption and utility costs. This recommendation is discussed further in
Section 4 of the report.
The Site Representative reported that the heating set point is 21 °C (70 °F) and the heating set back is 18
°C (70 °F). The cooling is only turned on during summer events, which occur only twice on average.
Reduced setpoints would reduce energy consumption and utility costs. This suggested upgrade is
discussed further in Section 4 of the report.
Domestic hot water production and storage within the facility is a year-round operation but occurs
primarily between September and April. Domestic hot water production is accomplished with one (1)
Bradford White gas-fired domestic hot water heater. Auxiliary equipment to the gas fired domestic hot
water heater includes one re-circulation pump. A hot water heater with four storage tanks serves the ice
resurfacer.
The recommended upgrades are discussed further in Section 4.0 of the report.

Water Conservation
The water-using systems in use at Hillsburgh Community Centre consist of the following: Ice resurfacer,
irrigation sprinklers, kitchen faucets, lavatory faucets, toilet, urinals and shower heads. It should be noted
that Hillsburgh Community Centre does not possess a water meter. Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 quantify the
domestic water fixtures in place:

Conventional faucets, toilets and urinals are found throughout the Site building. Pinchin recommends the
conventional should be replaced with ultra-low flow alternatives. These recommendations are discussed
in further detail in Section 6.0 of the report.
Water conserving measures are expected to reduce water costs and wear and tear within water
consuming systems. Table 1-8 lists Pinchin’s water conservation recommendations at Hillsburgh
Community Centre.

Lighting
The lighting systems within Hillsburgh Community Centre consists of LED lighting over the ice arena and
fluorescent linear T12s and incandescent bulbs throughout the rest of the building with HPS wall packs
and Halogens lamps located at the exterior. The majority of the lighting system is controlled manually. A
very limited number of fixtures have been placed on motion sensors which deactivate the light if there is
no activity near them.
The fluorescent and metal halide fixtures currently in use are inefficient and it is recommended that they
are replaced with LED alternatives. A lighting upgrade would reduce energy consumption and utility costs.
These upgrades are discussed further in Section 7 of the report. Refer to Figure 1-3 and Table 1-7.

Building Envelope
This building envelope was reviewed including the exterior cladding and all entrances and exits. These
building systems are subject to air and heat leakage as well as moisture infiltration. Pinchin recommends
ongoing maintenance to ensure the building envelope is in good condition.
The wall system which consists of brick masonry at the Community Centre and at the lower portion of the
arena, while the remaining wall system of the arena consists of metal cladding. According to information
provided by the Site Representative, full brick masonry replacement of the original Community Centre
portion of the Site Building was performed circa the 1990s. The remaining exterior brick masonry of the

October 8, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
Site Building on the arena addition is original to arena construction (circa 1960s) and appeared to be in
generally poor to fair condition, with failed and cracked mortar joints, and effloresce observed. The metal
cladding was observed to generally be in good condition with only minor deficiencies noted at wall
penetrations. Pinchin recommends repointing of the mortar and resealing penetrations across the entire
wall system on all elevations.
The main and secondary entrance doors of the Site Building consist IG unit prefinished metal doors within
prefinished metal frames. The secondary exit doors consist of hollow metal doors within metal frames. In
addition, there two (2) overhead doors. The doors are in good to fair condition, with minor impact damage
and damage to the weather-stripping. Pinchin recommends repair of the doors and weather-stripping to
ensure the heat transfer and air leakage are minimized at points of entry.
The roof was found to consist of a single-ply roofing system at the Community Centre, and sloped metal
roofing at the arena. The Community Centre roof was reportedly replaced in 2010 while the age of the
sloped metal roofing varies. The main arena sloped metal roof was reported to have a rubber coating
installed in 2008. The Site staff reported that the Community Centre roof leaks during heavy rainfall.
Moisture degrades the performance of the insulation resulting in a lower R value. Pinchin recommends
repair of the leaks at the Community Centre and when the roof requires replacement that supplemental
insulation is installed to improve the overall thermal performance. Regular maintenance and condition
reviews are recommended.

• Pinchin assumed the September 2017 cost by multiplying the September 2018 cost
according to the ratio of September 2017 and September 2018 electricity consumption.
• Pinchin assumed the December 2017 cost by multiplying the December 2018 cost according
to the ratio of December 2017 and December 2017 electricity consumption.
Natural gas data was provided for the period of December 2016 to February 2019. Propane gas data was

shows a breakdown of the average annual utility costs at Hillsburgh Community Centre. Electricity
consumption accounts for 82% ($49,802); natural gas accounts for 12% ($42,802); water accounts for 2%
($1,357); and propane accounts for 4% ($2,125) of annual utility costs. Electricity consumption is
assumed to be higher than natural gas as it is associated with a greater range of applications such as the
ice plant, lighting and plug loads. Also, only the original building is heated by natural gas. The combined
average annual cost for all utilities is $60,888. Pinchin has identified conservation measures for each
utility which will be discussed in later sections of the report.

Electricity is used on Site for heating, cooling, the ice plant, ventilation, lighting and plug loads. The
average monthly consumption is 114 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the fall having the
highest average with 202 GJ and spring having the lowest average with 41 GJ. The fall electricity
consumption was 5 times higher than the spring consumption. This suggests reflects the operation of the
ice plant during the fall winter and spring months which significantly increases the electricity consumption.
average with 108.4 GJ and summer having the lowest average with 14.9 GJ. The winter natural gas
consumption was approximately 7.3 times higher than the summer consumption. This is as expected as
space heating and domestic hot water heating is required less during the summer season and the
building occupancy is concentrated between September and April.

The next two analyses looked at the relationship between natural gas consumption, heating degree days
Figure 2-6 can be expressed as 83%, which indicates a strong correlation. The results are
understandable as natural gas is used to for space heating and domestic hot water heating and the
building is generally only occupied between September and April. The results in Figure 2-7 show a

Water is used on Site for boilers, domestic hot and cold water systems. The average monthly
consumption is 22 m3. The seasonal averages were compared, with the winter and spring seasons having
the lowest averages, 12 m3 and 6 m3 respectively. The summer and fall season averages were 31 m3 and
40 m3 respectively. The combined seasonal average for the summer and fall was 26% higher than the
winter and spring seasons.
2.3.2 Seasonal Water Consumption Analysis
The water consumption of the Site building, averaged between 2017 and 2018, was determined to be
2,952 m3. Figure 2-11 shows the correlation between water consumption, monthly Heating Degree Days
and monthly Cooling Degree Days measured in degrees Celsius (°C). The water usage increases during
the winter months, during the months of operation for the Site Building. Fluctuations of water consumption
could have been attributed to many factors: potential shifts in occupancy of the Site building, installation
of different fixtures, leaks, etc.

Water Consumption (m3) HDD CDD
Figure 2-12 is a graphical representation of water consumption in relation to the increase in number of
cooling degree days (CDD), at the Site building. From this graph, a slight decrease in measured water
consumption can be seen to occur in relation to the measured number of cooling degree days. The
correlation between consumption and CDD is expressed as the displayed value of R2 in Figure 2-12.
Essentially, this represents the amount of water lost per increase in cooling degree day. The R2 value
does not in any way represent how efficiently the system operates. On a scale of 0% to 100%, the
relation between water consumption and CDD can be expressed as 14%, which indicates a poor
correlation. The correlation is expected as the building does not possess a cooling tower that is used in
the summer for space cooling.

Community Centre was determined to be 0.53 GJ/m2/year. Please refer to Appendix V for the
assumptions and calculations.
On average, from 2017 to 2018 Hillsburgh Community Centre consumed 1,367 GJ of electricity and 744
GJ of natural gas. It is assumed that the Site uses 39 GJ of propane gas. This amounts to approximately
2,150 GJ of annual energy consumption. The gross floor area is approximately 2,212.5 m2 (23,815 sf).
The resulting EUI is therefore 0.97 GJ/m2/yr. The calculated EUI is 1.8 times higher than the ASHRAE

Pinchin generated an energy use breakdown for Hillsburgh Community Centre with information collected
on site as well as previous building reports, equipment specifications and utility bill data provided by the
client. In the case of missing information, Pinchin made assumptions based on ice rink energy
consumption patterns. As seen in Figure 3-2, space heating accounts for 60% of energy consumed within
the facility and the ice rink accounts for 18%. Energy conservation measures are therefore concentrated
primarily on heating load reduction and refrigeration load reductions.

The current HVAC system uses manually controlled thermostats. Pinchin was informed that the heating
set point is 21°C (70°F) and the heating set back is 18°C (70°F). The cooling is only turned on during
summer events, which occur only twice on average.
Replacing the standalone thermostats with programmable thermostats will allow for automatic occupied

RTU – Replacement
The newer rooftop cooling unit model has a cooling Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 11.2. The unit is
considered mid-efficiency and there are much more efficient units available today. Pinchin recommends
replacing the existing RTUs with an 18 SEER model to reduce energy consumption. This improvement in
efficiency means that the replacement unit can have a smaller capacity, further reducing energy use and
equipment costs. Refer to Table-4-4.

As the nameplate was not available for the older RTU, its cooling capacity could not be verified and has
not been factor into the costs and savings. The model is assumed to have a 9.6 SEER; if upgraded to an
18 SEER model, the related energy consumption would be reduced by almost half.

Furnace - Replacement
The two (2) existing gas-fired furnaces has a 77% efficiency, which is low compared to the high efficiency
models that are now available.
High-efficiency condensing gas furnaces use a sealed, insulated combustion chamber, high efficiency
burners and multiple heat exchangers that significantly reduce waster heat from flue gases. The flue
gases are condensed which releases and recaptures useable heat.
This is a good opportunity to install a condensing furnace, which will have an efficiency of up to 96%. Due
to the large improvement in efficiency, the heating capacity of the unit can be reduced by without
interrupting the heating output. This measure will reduce the relevant gas consumption by about 21%.

tankless water heaters.
Storage type DHW heaters are subject to standby heat losses; an on-demand tankless water heater can
reduce energy consumption by an additional 14%. This improvement in efficiency mean that the

There does not appear to be a heat recovery program in place at the Site Building. Due to occupant
activities, lighting and space heating, the ice plant must continuously remove excess heat from the ice
slab in order to keep the ice at the desired temperature. Presently that heat is released outside using the
evaporative condenser, all while the building HVAC systems are generating heat for the interior. It would
reduce the heating load of the HVAC systems if the heat from the ice plant was recovered and used for
space heating, snow melting or DHW heating. This measure is expected to reduce heating energy. The
amount of heat an ice rink can potentially recover generally matches the refrigeration capacity of its ice
plant. Refer to Table 4-8.

5.1.1 Brine Pump
There is presently no VFD on the brine pump. It is assumed to currently operate in full capacity
approximately 10-12 hours a day. When the Brine pump operates it introduces heat into the brine line,
thereby decreasing the efficiency of the ice plant and increasing the refrigeration load as the plant has to
work harder to remove that heat. It is recommended to install a VFD on the Brine pump motor to reduce
the motor’s operating speed and operating capacity in relation to the demand within the facility. This
reduced refrigeration load will also reduce the operating hours of the compressor, a dominant load within
the ice plant.

The existing ventilation system does not appear to have CO2 censors and is assumed to operate at pre-
set ventilation rates, typically based on the maximum occupancy level of the building. As the occupancy
level fluctuates continuously, energy is wasted when the occupancy drops below these pre-determined
rates.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) ventilates as well as condition the air during heating or cooling
periods, based on the occupancy level at any specific time. CO2 sensors are used to monitor air quality
and provide real-time feedback to the controls. The controls then adjust the fan speed, modifying the

6.0 WATER CONSERVATION
Domestic Systems
Based on the information gathered from the domestic water system audit, most toilets, urinals, shower
heads, kitchen faucets and lavatory faucets have conventional flow rates.
The Site buildings can reduce water if they update the remaining toilets, urinals, shower heads, kitchen
faucets and lavatory faucets to ultra low flow options (< 4.8 LPF, <0.5 LPF, < 3.8 LPM, <3.8 LPM and
<1.9 LPM respectively).
6.1.1 High Efficiency Toilets
High efficiency toilets consume 4.8 litres per flush (LPF), while conventional toilets consume 13.25 LPF.
As shown in Table 1-4, the Site building currently uses upgraded 6 LPF toilets and conventional toilets.
Converting the toilets to 4.8 LPF models would reduce the associated water consumption by
approximately 20% or 30,233 litres a year.
6.1.2 High Efficiency Urinals
High efficiency urinals consume 3.8 LPF, while ultra low flow urinals consume 0.5 LPF toilets consume
13.25 LPF. As shown in Table 1-4, the Site building currently uses upgraded 3.8 LPF urinal. Converting
the urinals to 3.8 LPF models would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately 87% or
29,046 litres a year.
6.1.3 High Efficiency Bathroom Faucets
High efficiency bathroom faucets consume 1.9 litres per minute (LPM) of use, significantly lower than that
of conventional 8.3 LPM faucets. As shown in Table 1-4, the Site building currently makes use of
upgraded 5.7 LPM faucets and conventional faucets. Converting all the faucets to higher efficiency 1.9
LPM faucets would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately 77% or 54,394 litres a
year.

October 8, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
6.1.4 High Efficiency Kitchen Faucets
High efficiency kitchen faucets consume 5.7 LPM, ultra-low flow faucets consume 3.8 LPM, while
conventional kitchen faucets consume 8.3 LPM. As shown in Table 1-5, the Site building currently makes
use of conventional 8.3 LPM kitchen faucet fixtures. Converting the conventional kitchen faucets to ultra-
low flow 3.8 LPM faucets would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately 60% or 1,044
litres a year.
6.1.5 High Efficiency Shower Heads
High efficiency showerheads consume 5.7 LPM, while ultra-low flow showerheads consume 3.8 LPM and
conventional showerheads consume 9.5 LPM. As shown in Table 1-7, the Site building currently makes
use of fifteen (15) shower heads. The flowrates of the showers were assumed to be 9.6 LPM. Converting
shower heads to ultra-low flow models would reduce the associated water consumption by approximately
60% or 1,044 litres a year. In addition, the retrofit would reduce energy consumption associated with
domestic hot water heating by approximately .11 GJ.

The lighting systems at Hillsburgh Community Centre are generally user controlled with the exception of
motion controlled lighting in the Men’s and Women’s washrooms. Pinchin recommends installing more
motion detecting light switches to control the lighting throughout the entire building. The motion detectors
reduce energy loss due to lights being left on in unoccupied rooms. One demerit of motion controlled light
switches is that they will continue operation of the lighting system for 90 seconds after the occupant has
left the area. These systems also consume energy 24/7 to remain in standby mode.

Pinchin calculated the heat loss from the exterior wall system of the conditioned space as approximately
356 GJ/year, resulting in an annual energy cost of approximately $5,880.
Pinchin recommends supplementing the insulation levels (of the conditioned space) to reach R20. The
new insulation levels would only account for approximately 36 GJ/year based on the average 2017-2018
annual heating degree days. The associated annual energy cost is approximately $590. The proposed
insulation levels would result in 90% less heat loss than the existing levels and an annual savings of
$5,300.

load, however due to many unknown variables it has not been factored into the savings and payback
period. Pinchin presents this option aware that it may lead to a loss of architectural character at the Site
Building. We therefore recommend this retrofit to take place when/if building envelope repairs are
required due to the poor thermal performance (i.e. significant cracking).

9.0 POWER GENERATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Pinchin recommends the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) array at the roof level, to generate electrical
energy. Solar power generation can reduce electricity bills, provide power security and generate income
all with low environmental impact and low maintenance costs. The retractions of solar energy are the
initial cost and its dependency on weather. The roof of the Site building has little shading and would
present a great base for a PV array. Pinchin assumed a 1575sm array would be installed at the roof
above the ice arena.

Pinchin considered and rejected the following recommendations due to the low energy savings and/or
their low return on investment.
Unit Heater Replacement
The existing gas-fired unit heater (UH) has an 81% efficiency, which is low compared to the high
efficiency models that are now available. This is a good opportunity to install a gas-fired condensing unit
heater, which will have an efficiency of up to 95%. Due to the large improvement in efficiency, the heating
capacity of the unit can be reduced from 40,500 Btuh to 33,000 Btuh without interrupting the heating
output. This measure will reduce the relevant gas consumption by about 14%. Refer to Table 11-1.

comprised of 1,356 m2 of emergency services space. The Site Building provides EMS and fire fighting
services.
The Site Building is occupied 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by two (2) EMS staff members, while the fire
fighting staff only come in as required. Due to the fluctuation in attendance, the average number of
occupants is difficult to accurately specify. The Site Representative informed Pinchin that there are
approximately 15 to 30 fire fighters that answer a call. The Site Representative reported that there are on
average 200 calls a year. The main kitchen is assumed to be used approximately 1 hour a week and the
EMS kitchen is assumed to be used approximately 14 hours a week, while the fridges and operate all

Primarily heating within the Site Building is provided by a gas-fired heating unit manufactured by “Price
Mechanical Industrial”. Based on the data plate the unit was manufactured in 2015 (approximately 4
years old). Heating within the truck bay area is provided by a “Brant” gas-fired radiant tube heating
system, original to the building construction.
Primarily cooling within the Site Building is provided by a gas-fired “Lennox” HVAC rooftop unit. Based on
the data plate the unit was manufactured in 2013 and therefore is approximately 6 years old. The unit
also provides heating to East portion of the building (first and second floor offices and common areas).
Supplementary heating for various localized areas throughout the building is provided by electrical
suspended unit heaters. The units are original to the building construction in 2012 to 2013.
The Site Building’s exhaust system consists of various exhaust fans for the washrooms, change rooms,
truck area, storage, and some common areas. The exhaust fans are vented to the atmosphere through
the exterior walls or through the roof. The fans were observed to be in serviceable condition.
A “Nederman” exhaust fan with extraction arms is serving the truck bay area. The exhaust fan is located
on the rooftop of the building. The fire truck exhaust system is provided with an “ABB” control panel.
The individual HVAC equipment is controlled by individual programmable thermostats and the RTUs also
use CO2 sensors. The Site Representative reported that the there was no thermostat program schedule
in place. During our Site Visit, the cooling set point and setback were observed to be 20 °C (68 °F). The
heating set point and setback are assumed to also be 20 °C (68 °F). Reduced setpoints would reduce
energy consumption and utility costs. This suggested upgrade is discussed further in Section 4 of the
report.
Domestic hot water (DHW) production and storage within the facility is a year-round operation. Domestic
hot water production is accomplished with two (2) tankless DHW heaters. The first DHW heater is a
“Takagi” natural gas-fired instantaneous water heater located in the mechanical room. The unit
possesses a maximum heating capacity of 199,000 BTUH. The second tankless natural gas-fired DHW
heater was noted in the mechanical room with the main water line. The unit is manufactured by “John
Wood” and possesses a maximum heating capacity of 199,900 BTUH.
The recommended upgrades are discussed further in Section 4 of the report.

Lighting
The lighting systems within Erin Fire Station No. 50 consists of fluorescent lighting throughout the building
with metal halide wall packs located at the exterior. The lighting system is assumed to be entirely
occupant controlled in the hallways, the truck bay and upstairs
The fluorescent and metal halide fixtures currently in use are inefficient and it is recommended that they
are replaced with LED alternatives. A lighting upgrade would reduce energy consumption and utility costs.
These upgrades are discussed further in Section 7 of the report. Refer to Figure 1-3 and Table 1-4.

Building Envelope
The wall system which consists corrugated metal panels and metal panels with sections of rough and
smooth finished architectural stone cladding. The exterior cladding was observed to be in fair to good
condition with minor section of moisture staining observed at the architectural stone cladding. Moisture
degrades the performance of the insulation resulting in a lower R value. Pinchin recommends repairs to
the cladding be completed to maintain the integrity of the building envelope.
The window system of the Site Building consists of aluminum framed punched windows with horizontally
sliding Insulated Glazed units (IGUs). The windows are reportedly original to the building construction
circa 2012 and therefore are approximately 7 years old. As the existing windows are assumed to offer
basic thermal performance, Pinchin recommends upon reaching their Projected Useful Life (PUL), that
they are replaced with modern IGU systems to offer improved thermal performance.
The main entrance doors of the Site Building consist of prefinished aluminum framed door and frame
assemblies with Insulated Glazing units (IGUs). A secondary entrance door consists of an aluminum
framed door with an IGU insert and sidelite. The service doors consist of hollow metal doors within metal
frames. In addition, there are three (3) metal sectional overhead doors. The doors are in generally in good
condition, with no major issues reported or observed. It is expected that maintenance and periodic repairs
of the exterior doors will be completed as required.
The roof of the fire hall was found to consist of a low-sloped metal roofing system with a “near-flat” roof
section that consists of a single-ply TPO membrane. The roof systems are reportedly original to the
construction of the Site Buildings. The metal roofs appeared to be in generally good condition with no
observed signs of moisture infiltration. Pinchin recommends that while the completing the replacement of

Station No. 50 was determined to be 0.78 GJ/m2/year. Please refer to Appendix V for the assumptions
and calculations.
On average, from 2017 to 2018 Erin Fire Station No. 50 consumed 328 GJ of electricity and 868 GJ of
natural gas. This amounts to approximately 1,196 GJ of annual energy consumption. The gross floor area
is approximately 1,357m2 (14,603 sf). The resulting EUI is therefore 0.88 GJ/m2/yr. The calculated EUI is
1.14 times higher than the ASHRAE energy target of 0.78 GJ/m2/yr.

Pinchin generated an energy use breakdown for Erin Fire Station No. 50 with information collected on site
as well as previous building reports, equipment specifications and utility bill data provided by the client. As
seen in Figure 3-2, space heating accounts for 53% of energy consumed within the facility. Energy
conservation measures are therefore concentrated primarily on heating load reduction and refrigeration
load reductions.

during operating hours and 29.4°C (85°F) degrees after hours. Each degree Fahrenheit raised in the
summer or lowered in the winter represents up to 3% of energy savings. Based on our observations,
Pinchin assumed that the Site Building can reduce its setback during winter by 1.7°C (3°F), raise its
setback during summer by 9.4°C (17°F) and raise its summer set point by 5.6°C (10°F).

RTU – High Efficiency Replacement
The existing rooftop units have a thermal efficiency of 65-82% and the Lennox RTU has a cooling Energy
Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 11.2. The units are considered mid-efficiency and there are much more efficient
units available today. Pinchin recommend replacing the existing RTUs with a 91% efficient unit that has
an EER of 18 to reduce energy consumption. This improvement in efficiency means that the replacement
units can have a smaller capacity, further reducing energy use and equipment costs. Furthermore,
improved comfort is anticipated through better air quality and a higher turn around time. Refer to Table
4-4.

There does not appear to be a drain heat recovery system in place. Presently the DHW heat from
showers is lost down the drain. Pinchin recommends installing drain heat recovery units at each of the
shower drains. This system will preheat DHW supply water, requiring less gas energy to heat the water to
the desired temperature. Refer to Table 4-5.

The lighting systems at Erin Fire Station No. 50 are generally occupant controlled in the hallways, the
truck bay and upstairs, while motion sensors control the remaining lighting. Pinchin recommends
installing more motion detecting light switches to control the lighting throughout the entire building. The
motion detectors reduce energy loss due to lights being left on in unoccupied rooms. One demerit of
motion controlled light switches is that they will continue operation of the lighting system for 90 seconds
after the occupant has left the area. These systems also consume energy 24/7 to remain in standby
mode.

8.0 POWER GENERATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Pinchin recommends the installation of a PV array at the roof level. Solar power generation can reduce
electricity bills, provide power security and generate income all with low environmental impact and low
maintenance costs. The retractions of solar energy is the initial cost and its dependency on weather. The
roof of the Site building has little shading and would present a great base for a PV array. Pinchin
assumed a 1600sm array would be installation at both roof levels of the Site Building.

Electricity is used on Site for supplemental heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and plug loads. The
average monthly consumption is 25 GJ. The seasonal averages were compared, with the summer having
the highest average with 27.4 GJ and spring having the lowest average with 24.2 GJ. The summer
electricity consumption was 14% higher than the spring consumption. This reflects the operation of the
cooling system during the summer months which increases the electricity consumption.

Municipal Office was determined to be 0.78 GJ/m2/year. Please refer to Appendix V for the assumptions
and calculations.
On average, from 2017 to 2018 The Municipal Office consumed 303 GJ of electricity and 98 GJ of natural
gas. This amounts to approximately 401 GJ of annual energy consumption. The gross floor area is
approximately 1,140 m2 (12,266 sf). The resulting EUI is therefore 0.35 GJ/m2/yr. The calculated EUI is
54% lower than the ASHRAE energy target of 0.76 GJ/m2/yr.

Pinchin generated an energy use breakdown for The Municipal Office using a breakdown of an ideal
office building in Canada (Refer to Figure 3-2 3). Energy in an office building is dominantly used by the
space heating, cooling, plug loads and lighting systems. Recommended retrofits will be focused on these
areas to best improve the Site’s overall energy efficiency and lower utility costs.

4.0 SUMMARY OF ENERGY USING EQUIPMENT
Space Heating, Cooling, and Ventilation
Primary heating for the Site Building is provided by three (3) gas-fired furnaces located in the mechanical
room of the building with air distributed via system of ductwork and air diffusers. Two (2) of the furnace
units are manufactured by “Lennox” and one (1) unit is manufactured by “Heil”. The forced air furnaces
are equipped with a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) located in the mechanical room.
Primarily cooling for the Site Building is provided by four (4) electric air conditioning units. The external
units are located on the West portion of the Site.
The Site Building’s exhaust system consists of various exhaust fans for the washrooms, and some
common areas. The exhaust fans are vented to the atmosphere through the exterior walls. The fans were
observed to be in serviceable condition.
The furnaces and air conditioners are controlled using a programmable wall mounted thermostat located
in each zone. Programmable thermostats increase the ease for ECMs, such as temperature setbacks, to
be implemented within the facility.
The major HVAC equipment installed at The Municipal Office is listed in Table 4-1.

Note: The above data is the only available information from the site mechanical equipment units’ labels.
Pinchin did not receive any other information such as equipment schedules or mechanical drawings.
Thus, Pinchin recommends carrying out an air balancing assessment for the entire mechanical equipment
(i.e., air flow, HP, voltage, year, condition, etc.). Following an air balancing assessment, Pinchin will
update the above information.
Each RTU is responsible for maintaining a supply air temperature set point and controlling the quantity of
outdoor air. The supply air temperature set point is based on an outdoor air setback (the warmer the

outdoor temperature, the cooler the supply air set point). The quantity of outdoor air is determined by the
outdoor air, mixed air and exhaust air damper positions.
In addition to the RTUs, there are thirteen (13) roof mounted exhaust fans in the Site Building that service
washrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms requiring air extraction.
During the site visit, the majority of the fan motors were observed to be standard efficiency. There is an
opportunity to install NEMA Premium Efficiency motors on all exhaust fans when the existing motors
reach the end of their Projected Useful Life (PUL).
There is an energy savings opportunity to install Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on the RTUs when
the existing RTUs reach the end of PUL. Additional investigation and pre-design review is required to
provide a more accurate energy savings analysis.
Extra cooling for spaces such as IT Rooms is provided by nine (9) heat pumps that consist of outdoor
condensers and indoor evaporators.
Auxiliary cooling is provided by nine (9) heat pumps. These units provide cooling to elevator rooms and IT
rooms. Generally speaking, this system is capable of minimum efficiency of 20.5 Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Rating (SEER).
Plumbing
Domestic hot water (DHW) for the Site Building is provided by electric standalone “Giant” DHW heater
located in a mechanical room within the basement level of the building. The unit was noted to have been
manufactured by “Giant” in 2008 (i.e. approximately 11 years old) and possesses a storage capacity of
39.8 Gallons.
Lighting
Lighting in the Site Building is provided by a combination of linear fluorescent and fluorescent and
halogen pot lights. Table 4-3 below summarizes the type and quantity of lights observed in the Site
Building.

Note: The wattage per lamp was assumed to be 32W with 2 lamps per 2’ x 4’ fixture.
The lights in the Site Building are controlled manually and are turned off at night.
Plug Load
Plug load generally includes equipment installed in the building that allows the tenant to perform their
primary business function. Some of the plug load items are directly related such as servers, computers
and photocopiers, while other plug load items provide the work associated with the manufacturing area,
where Pinchin did not have access.
5.0 ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
After visiting the site and reviewing the information, there are several potential energy initiatives that the
Client can take to save energy at the site. No low or no-cost measures to reduce energy consumption
were identified during the review, though several capital improvement or incremental costs were
identified. These measures are presented in the following sections.
Program Thermostats
The HVAC equipment is controlled by programmable thermostats. The existing thermostat schedule, as
observed during the site visit, along with the new proposed set points listed in Table 5-1:
Table 5-1 Proposed Set Points for the Programmable Thermostats at The Municipal Office
Existing Setpoint Proposed Setpoint Existing Setback Proposed Setback
Summer 23.9°C (75°F) 25.6°C (78°F) 24.4°C (76°F) 29.4°C (85°F)

October 16, 2019
Town of Erin FINAL
Winter 22.2°C (72°F) 20°C (68 °F) 18.3°C (65°F) 18.3°C (65°F)
Each degree Fahrenheit raised in the summer or lowered in the winter represents up to 3% of energy
savings. Based on our observations, Pinchin assumed that the Site Building can reduce its winter setpoint
by 2.2 °C (5 °F), raise its summer setback by 5°C (9°F) and raise its summer set point by 1.6°C (3°F).
The summary of the costs and savings associated with the programmable thermostats is shown in Table
5-2.

Note: The above assumptions are contingent on revised occupant behaviour as the occupants control the
thermostats.
Connect Bathroom Fans to Humidity Sensors
The existing bathroom fans at The Municipal Office are user controlled. If occupants do not turn on fans
when appropriate, humidity may accumulate within the room, leading to mould growth and an unhealthy
environment. Insufficient ventilation also leads to odour build up which can result in an uncomfortable
environment. Conversely, if a fan is left on by an occupant as they leave the room, it may run longer than
required resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and higher utility bills. Pinchin recommends
connecting the bathroom fans to occupancy sensors to ensure the fans only operate long enough to
provide sufficient ventilation after an occupant uses the washroom.
Pinchin recommends installing high efficiency energy star exhaust fans, which will use approximately
89% less energy. The summary of the costs and savings associated with the exhaust fans is shown in
Table 5-3.

Note: Assumes the existing fans are 60 W at 50 CFM and the replacement fans will use 11 W at 50 CFM.
Energy Star Plug Load Equipment
During our Site review, Pinchin noted that approximately half of the plug loads reviewed did not display
energy star logos. Converting to energy star appliances and office equipment can reduce the energy
consumption by up to 50%. In addition, Pinchin recommends installing timer-controlled power bars to
reduce stand by losses. The summary of the costs and savings associated with the timer-controlled
power bars is shown in Table 5-4.

Note: Assumes an average of 2.34 daily operating hours for closet and storage room lighting (5 days a
week), 8 hours for office and common area lighting (5 days a week) and 12 hours for exterior lighting (7
days a week).
The lighting systems at The Municipal Office are generally user controlled with the exception of motion-
controlled lighting in the basement and first floor bathrooms. Pinchin recommends installing more motion
detecting light switches to control the lighting throughout the entire building. The motion detectors reduce
energy loss due to lights being left on in unoccupied rooms. One demerit of motion controlled light
switches is that they will continue operation of the lighting system for 90 seconds after the occupant has
left the area. These systems also consume energy 24/7 to remain in standby mode.

Installation of Sub-meters on the major HVAC equipment.
The Energy Audit reviewed specific high energy consumption units and assessed the potential for
conservation. This assessment is based on assumptions and estimates that could be improved with more
detailed and accurate data/methodologies. The Site Building’s energy consumption is not as intensive as
other office facilities and some existing conservation measures are already in place. The building is
relatively new and designed to more stringent standards with regard to energy use and conservation.
The following recommendations are provided:
• Install programmable thermostats with conservative set points.
• Convert plug load equipment to Energy Star models
• Convert the fluorescent lighting fixtures to LEDs.
• Install motion sensor lighting in applicable areas.
• Replace the two (2) electric RTUs with gas-fired RTUs with VFDs.
• Record and log the electrical and natural gas consumption of the processes
