Section 1 Executive Summary
a. Project Objective
The primary objective of the energy audit was to identify and analyze the operations of the facilities and to detect Energy Conservation Measures that will combine to form a project that meets the needs of the district, whereby capital improvements will be funded by energy and operational cost savings. In the development of this audit, we focused on providing a report with estimated cost and savings that can assist the district in mapping a path forward. The next step in the process will be for the district to determine which of these improvements will best fit into the district's long-term plan. Once the specific measures are selected Siemens will finalize the price and savings for the project. The prices provided below are based on estimated current prices and utility cost. Siemens would recommend a phase approach to address aging equipment replacement. Siemens will work with the district and SHP to determine the best project scope.
The following table summarizes the facilities that were surveyed in the energy audit.
b. Recommended Energy Conservation Measures
The ECMs analyzed and recommended for implementation are summarized in Table 1.2 which shows a breakout of projected first year annual savings, budgetary costs, and simple payback.

Section 3 Methodology/Utility Data Analysis
a.
Study Approach
This section discusses the methodology of the energy study and FIM development approach. In conducting an investment grade audit, it is essential that the existing conditions be precisely established as a baseline for evaluation of any potential system improvements Relevant factors were identified and assessed through a systems approach in an effort to develop potential energy improvement measures. The factors are outlined below.
3.1.1 Review of Facilities
The initial step in the study entailed familiarization with the facility layouts as well as review of available drawings and meeting with building staff and operations personnel.
3.1.2 Review of Systems Operation/Usage
In buildings, energy usage is dependent on how the facility is utilized and operated. It was therefore necessary to collect data on operating hours and utilization. Lighting system runtime was logged during the months of May and June 2022. The resulting runtime for each space type is reflected in the lighting savings calculations. Equipment runtime was determined through facility administration and staff interviews as well as existing schedules on the building automation system.
3.1.3 Development of Facility Improvement Measures
Based on the field surveys, metered data and related calculations, the Energy Conservation Measures were developed. The measures were analyzed to determine their effect on the overall baseline energy consumption of each facility impacted.
3.1.4 Energy Usage Characteristics
The most recent complete energy consumption data available for Greater Latrobe School District cover January 2020 through December 2021 for electric, natural gas, and water consumption. The baseline (12 months) for the project and any follow-up analysis was determined to be January 2021 – December 2021. Energy consumption data is summarized below.
b. Utility Supply Description
Utilities used by the District include electricity, natural gas, domestic water supply and sanitary sewer and stormwater service. Electricity generation and transportation are provided by Direct Energy and West Penn Power, respectively. Natural gas generation and transportation are provided by Direct Energy and Peoples Natural Gas, respectively. Domestic water supply is provided by Latrobe Municipal Authority, Youngstown Municipal Authority, and the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County based on the location of the facility.

The Senior High School and Junior High School consume the most electricity across the District at 37% and 16% of total District consumption, respectively. A typical electric profile in this part of the United States would show the most electric consumption in the summer and the least in the winter primarily due to the additional cooling load in the summer. The profiles above clearly show that the schools are closed in the summer however, there is still some cooling, plug load, and lighting consumption during this time.

The administration building and athletic complex consume 0.4% and 6% of the total district’s electric consumption, respectively. Cooling at the administration building was found to be a very small percentage of the building’s total energy consumption therefore, the majority of electricity consumption at this building can be attributed to plug load and lighting. The low cooling load and year-round occupation is reflected in its relatively flat electric consumption profile. The athletic complex utilizes electricity for both heating and cooling. This is reflected in the building’s consumption profile where electric consumption is highest in the winter and lowest in the summer when school is out.

The senior high school and junior high school consume 72% of the district’s total natural gas consumption. Natural gas is utilized in both buildings for heating and domestic hot water which is reflected in the consumption profile with higher consumption in the winter and lower consumption in the summer. The natural gas consumption for both facilities is represented by one account with the utility company. The district then attributes 60% of the utility bill to the high school and 40% to the junior high It is for this reason that the consumption profiles at each school mirror each other.

The senior high school and junior high school consumption 34% and 11% of the district’s total water consumption, respectively. Water is utilized at the senior high for a number of uses including cooling (chillers and cooling towers), heating (boilers), pool, kitchens, toilets, sinks, etc. Water consumption at this building generally follows the electricity use profile in that the greatest consumption is in the cooling season with the exception of summer break and the lowest consumption occurs in the winter months. The junior high school does not have boilers or chillers therefore, the majority of its water consumption will come from domestic water fixtures (toilets, sinks, etc.). For this reason, water consumption at the junior high stays relatively flat throughout the school year.

Additional Facilities - Baseline Water Consumption
The administration building and athletic complex consume 3% and 2% of the total district’s water consumption, respectively. Water consumption at the administration building stays relatively flat throughout the year which is reflective of the buildings year-round occupation. Water consumption at the athletic complex follows occupation of the building during fall and spring sports seasons.
The following graphs depict the energy end use profiles for each building. The graphs show the total energy used for each category such as heating, lighting, cooling, etc. The data shown is based on the facility audit and utility bills.
