PROJECT COST $300,000

High Voltage Specialists, Inc. worked with Jim Woods, Director of Clean Energy at Shealy Electrical, to design a solar installation on the roof of the HVSI office in Augusta, Georgia.

knox thomas llc augusta, ga HVSI provides high voltage related services across the Southeast. In addition to industrial and utility services, HVSI now has a division that interconnects solar installations/solar farms with utilities. Frank Knox and Clifford Thomas installed solar PV Systems at their personal residences as a trial before installing them on their business. Knox and Thomas were both so pleased with the results of the test install, they decided to proceed with the installation of solar modules on the roof of their warehouse at the HVSI office.

THE SOLUTION Georgia Power began solar incentive programs within their service area in Georgia to promote renewable energy projects, which was based on a lottery system. GP agreed to invest in a certain capacity of solar installations and divided it up into three different size categories: Small/ Medium/ Utility Scale There was an overwelming response, and the initial application from HVSI did not make the cut on the first round. On the second round of selections, they were picked for the small-scale program (100kW and under installations).

•Ensure that there is adequate south

THE RESULT

facing area for the module installation

Quick ROI, tax credits, future stable income, utility

The main steps of this solar installation:

•Design the system where modules and inverters are properly matched for size/ capacity •Acquire an interconnection agreement to make sure that the Utility’s requirements are met to install the system •Procure the material and the wiring to maximize the physical install This would typically be a $400K system, but HVSI saved about $100K by installing it themselves (even with charging themselves labor). The payback with tax credits, incentives and depreciation is about 5 years.

pricing offset, sustainable power generation and gaining expertise in installations are a few benefits of installing a solar system. An additional benefit is that there is now a roof on top of a roof, so the warehouse stays cooler because it is shaded by the solar array. The modules have a 25 year warranty. HVSI sells power back to Georgia Power company for a few cents more than they are paying for it with a 20 year contract.

THE PRODUCT Shealy supplied everything for this turnkey roofmounted system project. 400 solar modules, 6 inverters, racking and the balance of system material.

The Sheraton Myrtle Beach parking garage was originally built in 2002 and this was the first retrofit for the structure in 11 years.

SHERATON HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER MYRTLE BEACH, SC The existing 145 garage style luminaires were 175 watt metal halide technology. Because of the need to burn 24/7, the fixtures consumed 264,201 kWh annually. The Sheraton’s goal was to reduce their utility expense and maintenance costs by replacing the 145 fixtures with an LED alternative.

18

THE CIRCUIT PROJECT PROFILE SPECIAL EDITION 2015

With the end goal of time and money in mind, Shealy Energy was able to help Sheraton find a solution to the following: • High Energy Bills • Poor Lighting • ROI - 2 Years or Less • High Maintenance Costs • High Operating Costs • Outdated Technology

THE SOLUTION High energy bills were immediately eliminated by simply switching and saving. Sheraton was able to reduce the lighting portion of their utility bill by nearly 74%. The maintenance on the new upgraded lighting is greatly decreased because LEDs have a much longer life and are not affected by power surges.

One challenge parking garages often face is the 24/7/365 operating times due to safety regulations.

BEFORE

The 145 fixtures in the parking garage, with metal halide lamps, had a lamp life of 8.3 months in these conditions. The Sylvania LED replacment has a life of 100,000 hours. The quality of light with the LED replacement is also very evident, it is much cleaner and consistent and allows the guests to feel safe and welcome when using the facilities Poor lighting quality, high maintenance costs and high operating expenses were eliminated by upgrading technology. Switching to LED was the perfect solution for Sheraton.

With innovation and technology at its forefront, American Tobacco Company pioneered a campus-wide sustainability program that included converting the three parking decks to LED fixtures.

s

THE CIRCUIT PROJECT PROFILE SPECIAL EDITION 2015

THE SOLUTION The existing metal halide fixtures in all three of the parking decks at ATC consumed a large portion of the campus energy use. The parking decks have capacity of 3,000 vehicles. ATC, with the help of Shealy Energy and CREE Lighting, devised a plan to address the following issues: •Poor Lighting •High Energy Usage •High Maintenance Costs •High Operating Expenses •Outdated Technology

BEFORE

Originally ATC considered fluorescent and LED options. After looking at the Cree VG Series, ATC realized the energy savings, maintenance savings and light quality of the new Cree fixture far exceeded the fluorescent option for the application.

ATC installed 840 VG parking garage luminaries.

The fixtures put out a more consistent, lowglare illumination and energy savings that were unparalleled. In addition to the fixtures, ATC installed motion sensors and multi-light levels to provide maximum energy savings by only using the light when needed. In the deck entrances the Cree 304 Series canopy fixtures were installed and Cree Edge Area fixtures were installed on the top level of each deck. The Cree Edge Area fixtures were not originally in the plan, but the amount of energy savings and ability to use fewer fixtures was an easy decision.

AFTER

BEFORE

THE RESULT American Tobacco Company was able to relight all three parking decks and lower their operating expenses, all while providing better and more consistent light. ATC prides themselves on being on the forefront of sustainability and was able to make a calculated decision based off the efficiency, cost savings and long-term benefits of switching to LED products.

THE CIRCUIT PROJECT PROFILE SPECIAL EDITION 2015

THE SOLUTION Harsco Rail decided to replace fluorescent lighting throughout all office areas to reduce the overall power consumption and improve lighting conditions for employees. The goals of the Harsco Rail office relighting project were as follows: •Obtain Uniform Light •Improve Illumination & Color •Reduce Eye Fatigue •Install Motion Sensor Technology •Reduce Carbon Footprint Harsco Rail worked with Billy Garrett from the Shealy Energy team to devise a plan to upgrade their lighting system. The system included: (365) 2x4 ceiling mounted LED fixtures, (245) 2x2 ceiling mounted LED fixtures, (40) switch plate mounted motion sensors and (28) ceiling mounted motion sensors.

Harsco Rail was pre-approved for a rebate incentive from SCE&G through their EnergyWise program. The rebate covered nearly 50% of the project cost and 610 fixtures were replaced with LED. The initial project cost was $174,000. Since Harsco was approved for both the SCE&G rebate and incentive program and EPACT deduction Harsco was able to collect back $87,000 of the original cost, bringing the project cost down to $87,000. Harsco recouped 57% in their first year.

THE CIRCUIT PROJECT PROFILE SPECIAL EDITION 2015

27

THE RESULT Harsco achieved their goals by replacing the existing fluorescent lighting throughout all of the office areas. These changes led to reduced overall power consumption and improved lighting conditions for their employees. There is now a more uniform and natural appearance of the light in the building. The installed motion sensor technology allowed for an additional 25% energy consumption reduction. The employees also noticed less eye fatigue and strain with the new fixtures.

THE SOLUTION Previously the Health Sciences Building, the new home of the School of Journalism and Mass Communications was built in 1962 and needed to be renovated to accomodate upwards of 1,500 students and respective faculty. The 55,000 square foot facility needed to be fully modernized to fulfill the needs of its students. The following considerations were taken when preparing for the job: •Material Handling •Material Management •Limited Space •No Onsite Storage •Limited Parking Shealy Electrical’s Jonathan Mathews was able to bring a solution to Constructure that allowed for less time off the jobsite, lowered material handling and management costs and limited the onsite storage of materials. Job boxes were provided and managed by Shealy, along with scheduled as-needed product deliveries. All extra material was stored in the Shealy facility and delivered to the jobsite by the Columbia Jobsite Specialist.

The specialist visited the jobsite one to two times daily to replenish stock and deliver new material as the project progressed. Over the 6 month span of the job, this was a huge labor savings for Constructure. There was no lost time for damaged material, lost items or employees being away from the jobsite.

THE RESULT Shealy’s On and Off Site Solutions were able to save Constructure valuable time and money. Lost and broken material was eliminated by using job boxes and Off Site Storage, and surplus stock material was taken back by Shealy and a credit was issued back to Constructure. Overall, the service was a great success for the project. Constructure has added job boxes to other current jobs and plans to use the service in the future.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH AQUATIC CENTER

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC

The North Myrtle Beach Aquatic Center LED upgrade was completed in January 2014. The Aquatic Center is an 8 year old building with the original lighting from the building construction. The existing 52 fixtures were a 400 watt Metal Halide. The annual KWH usage that the Metal Halide fixtures consumed was over 120,000. Shealy was able to project a drastically lower annual KWH usage at just under 30,000. This reduction will take their annual energy cost from $17,000 to $4,000

THE SOLUTION With the end goal of reducing maintenance, Shealy Energy was able to help North Myrtle Beach Aquatic Center find a solution to the following issues: • • • • •

Maintenance Short Lamp Life Inaccessible Fixtures High Energy Bills High Operating Costs

The location of the lamps over the pool area, combined with a very narrow pool deck made it extremely difficult to maintain the lighting. This issue was resolved with the installation of the LEDs, as the life was extended to 100,000 hours vs. the 20,000 hours of the previous fixtures. The time spent replacing the burned out lamps was very costly and time consuming.

The solution to the above issues was the new RAB LED fixture. The new LED has a 5 year warranty and is rated for 100,000 hours. Another benefit of the switch was the crisper and cleaner light provided by the new fixtures.

The wattage reduction from the metal halide to LED was nearly 75% which helped greatly reduce the utility bill.

North Myrtle Beach was able to obtain a rebate from their utility provider, Santee Cooper, to help cover a portion of the cost of the lighting project.

THE RESULT The facility was given a dramatic makeover that was very evident to both the staff and members at the aquatic center. The LED lights have allowed for better visibility, significantly less maintenance, and lower utility cost. This project went so well there are plans to continue updating other areas of the facility, including the fitness room and gym areas. This has inspired the City of North Myrtle Beach to continue the updates in other buildings.

design that was functional and sustainable.

THE CIRCUIT PROJECT PROFILE SPECIAL EDITION 2015

THE SOLUTION Jim Woods, Shealy’s Clean Energy Director, studied our average annual energy consumption across all three buildings on the Columbia campus and compared it to the system design that we could fit atop our project warehouse. The following items were considered when deciding on the system: •Federal Tax Credit •State Tax Credit •Palmetto Clean Energy Rebates •Reduced Utility Bills •Net Metering •System Depreciation Tax Benefit Jim Woods was able to build a system for Shealy that included 252 Solarworld 265 watt mono crystalline modules, standing seam mounted racking system and one Solectria PVI60 inverter with Solrenview Monitoring and weather station. The system was installed in just under 4 weeks.

Apart from the energy and money savings, Shealy was able to accomplish other goals. The opportunity to both lead by example and “walk the walk” by being green and a more sustainable company was obtained.

The new PV solar system also serves the company as a training device and informational piece to customers that are interested in getting involved in the solar installation business.

THE RESULT Comparing 12 months’ worth of SCE&G bills, the projected output of the system would supply about 30% of the total campus energy spend. Shealy is ahead of performance projections, which means the return on investment of 6 years is accurate. ROI calculations include: Federal, State and Palmetto Clean Energy rebates, Reduced Utility Bills through Net Metering, System Deprecation tax benefit, all while greening our energy usage.

THE SOLUTION Parkway has made positive contributions towards a sustainable future by integrating green building practices into their business. This project is one of several that were undertaken at Hearst Tower. The main concerns to be addressed were: •Inefficient Energy Use in Building •Short Life of Current Lights •High Maintenance Costs •High Energy Consumption •Poor Light Output Shealy Energy worked with Parkway to replace thousands of inefficient lamps with energy efficient, long lasting LED and halogen lamps.

BEFORE

For the cove lighting (2380) 5 watt festoon halogen lamps were replaced with 27K LED strip lights at 5 watts per foot. The high ceiling originally had (44) 8 inch cans that housed 500 watt PAR56 lamps and were replaced with 8 inch LumenOptix 57 watt 27K LED recessed retrofits. Miscellaneous lighting included: (130) 50 watt MR16 lamps that were replaced with (130) 7 watt LED MR16 and (61) 90 watt PAR 38 lamps with (61) 29 watt LED PAR38 lamps.

The total reduction of wattage saved Parkway approximately $35,000 annually in energy costs alone. Continued on next page ...

THE CHALLENGE Transworld approached Shealy with a problem one of their customers was experiencing in Ladson S.C. Their customer had an obsolete alternating controller with a 480VAC coil controlling two air compressors for the hospital. The hospital was using a temporary air compressor until their system could be repaired. Their current system had not been operational for two months. The system used 480VAC coils to start and stop the compressors. This was an issue, as the system was designed in the 1970’s. Today most alternating relays use 24VDC or 120VAC for the coils. Transworld could not find an out of the box Alternating Relay with a 480VAC control voltage.

In addition to the challenge of finding the correct parts, the customer needed to have the system completely operational within 7 days.

THE SOLUTION The solution required a custom panel to be assembled and engineered in a short time frame.

Shealy contacted one of our approved System Integrators who was able to design a new panel.

The custom panel utilized a transformer 480 to 120VAC, fuse blocks for circuit protection, Symcom alternating relay 120VAC, and two Schneider contactors to start the 480VAC coils. This solution saved the customer on both time and complexity of the system.

THE DELIVERY The parts were sent air freight to our branch in Florence S.C. for the Approved Partner to assemble the panel and produce drawings. The panel was delivered to Shealy on Wednesday two days before the deadline. Brad DeAntonio with the Shealy Ladson branch delivered the panels to Transworld to be installed prior to the Friday deadline. On Friday a Shealy Automation Representative and the Approved Partner were on site to assist with the start-up , the project was completed on time.

HanesBrands, based in Winston-Salem, NC, is a socially responsible leading marketer of everyday basic apparel under some of the world’s strongest apparel brands in the Americas, Asia and Europe. HBI wanted Shealy to provide a secure and energy efficient lighting design with a robust design and low maintenance.

A high lighting level was required for the first part of the evening and after midnight, a lower light level would be beneficial for energy conservation and prevention of light pollution. For additional security concerns, they requested that the light level switch to full output if body heat was detected near the back of the perimeter trucks.

• 2 HID Options • 6 LED Options HBI chose one of the LED options. The LED lighting and control system for the Rural Hall facility is designed and installed with high efficiency Lithonia fixtures. Those fixtures are controlled with smart photo sensors and motion sensors. House side shields were also installed to mitigate light pollution on the residential and highway side of this parking lot.

This system and design utilized DLC recognized products and was approved by Duke Energy for their custom rebate program. The project was bid to over 16 electrical contractors and Reynolda Electric was the successful contractor bid on this project and worked with Shealy, the local Lithonia rep and Mulholland to assist in value engineering the final installation.

THE RESULT This system has been very well received. HBI, with filing assistance from Shealy, received a substantial Duke Energy rebate. The traditional type of system that would have been installed, HID, was calculated to cost $24,497 per year in energy – compared to $6,664 with this new Lithonia LED
