Can-Pac Energy Consultant

'd.

Representatives from Can-Pac Energy Consultants Ltd. made
a presentation to the Parks
Recreation Committee on a
Energy-Management, System for the Port Coquitlam Recreation
Centre and Hyde Creek Centre. Attached are the proposals
for both the PoCo Recreation Centre and Hyde Creek Centre.
During the presentation they indicated that it was possible
to save up to 25% of our energy costs and that they as a
company, if we were to put their auipment in, would
guarantee a 14% minimum saving. Rather than go into great
detail of the cost savings
in the minutes, the proposals
outline the savings very well. Also
discussed were the
various ways of financing the projects.
One is an outright
purchase, another is a lease option and the third
which was not identified in the proposal, was an option,
option
that they call a 75-25 savings plan and in this case
they
would get 75% of the energy saved and the City would get
25%. It should be noted that presently we are already
paying out these costs, so in effect the money is in the
budget to do such a project. The representatives went
over the various capabilities of the computer and what
it could do,. Janna Taylor indicated that due to the fact
that this is a fairly new concept in the
field of Parks
and Recreation many municipalities had not installed such
a system and therefore are presently investigating such
systems. Therefore the experience of these
of
computers in recreational facilities is very types
minimal.
Attached is a letter from the North Vancouver Recreation
Commission, who initially went on the 75-25 savings and

Fraser Valley Softball Tournament
Janna Taylor presented the attached letter to the Parks
and Recreation Committee for discussion. It was agreed
that: the behaviour of the tournament was unacceptable.
Discussion took place around
the fact
we should
hav beer gardens at Cedar Drive Park whether
due to the close
proximity of the residents. Further discussion took
place as to the possibility of having portable toilets
at these tournaments. It was generally agreed that if
toilets were required that
this would be the responsiblity
of the host team.

CALCULATION OF ENERGY SAVINGS

Calculations of consumptions of energy prior to and subsequent
to the installation in determining
total savings achieved
shall be based upon the schedule the
of prior consumption hereto
referred to as "BASE YEAR" and this schedule shall construed to

be part of this agreement and all savings whall
be computed as
based on this schedule of "Base Year."

Nonthly energy savings shall be determined by subtracting
energy used during a calendar month from the energy used duringthe
the corresponding month in the base period (a twelve month
period
prior to the installation of the Systems.)
An adjustment will be
made for variations in the respective outside
temperatures for
that percentage of the Premises energy usage affected
outside
weather. Said adjustment shall utilize the "degree byday"
data
compiled by the Canada Environmental Department. Prior
to
the
installation of the Systems, Sunplier and Purchaser shall
mutually agree in writing on the percentage
of the
usage that is affected by outside weather and also
schedule of the total monthly energy usage in the base period for
each type of fuel. In addition, during the term
of this
Agreement, adjustmenrs, as needed, shall be made for the changes
as and when required . The monthly reduction in energy
usage, if
'ny, for each
type of energy supplied to the Premises 'will be
multiplied by the current cost thereof, and the results will be
added together to determine the total savings in
(the
total savings being hereinafter referred to as dollars
"Savings"
),
including savings in the demand charge, fuel use tax, fuel
adjustment

Premises'nergy
charge and social service tax.

OPPORTUNITIES

From our studies of the
electricity g as i s an d on-site survey
oof the
e faacility s power consuming
loads, we recommend an
installation of a Central Micro Porcessor
computer which will
automatically control various

b'll

t

power consumin loads. F
calculati'on, it appears that the
cost of the computer will be
justified by the potential savings.
Th e

computer which essentially acts
as an intelligent real time
programmer can perform such functions

as:

OPERATIONS

A,

(Micromizer Computer)

Time of Day Scheduling

1. The Time of Day Scheduling

function shall reduce
electrical consumption by turnin'g
loads off

and on
according to a programmed time for
each day with one
minute resolution.

2. Each load shall be capable of
(on or off) programmed for .eachhaving 40 unique events
day of the week and
holidays.
3. The time of Day Scheduling
function shall allow up to 16
holiday periods. Each holiday
to 255 days. Holidays shall be period shall allow for up
programmable at jeast a
year in advance.
4. The Time of Day Scheduling function
schedule override which will overrideshall allow for manual
scheduled on or off
oads.

B.

5. The Time of Day Scheduling function
event temporary on/off programming shall allow for single
automatic return
to scheduled programming after the with
event.
Duty Cycling
1. The Du ty Cycling shall reduce
electrical consumption by
duty cycling loads off and on according
to a programmed
on and off time for each

assigned load.

1989

2. The Duty Cycling function shall allow each
to be
assigned to an on time interval of 1 to 255 load
minutes and
an off time interval of 1 to 255 minutes.
3. The Duty Cycling function shall be able to
automatically
rotate .the loads to minimize electrical demand
at all
times by aligning the duty cycled on and off times
in
rotation.
4 . The Duty Cycling function together

with the Analog Control
function shall allow any of the solid state
temperature sensors (inside or outside) to beairassigned
to
any load to allow individual high and/or low
temperature
setpoints to override a duty cycled "off" load.
5. The Duty Cycling function shall be programmable rocontinuously vary the on and off times in response to a
selected analog temperature input while evenly rotating
up to eight loads assigned to that variable dury cycle
program
C.

Analog Control, Fixed and Variable

1. The controller shall have the capability to accept
up to
16 analog inputs such as Kw, temperature,
humidity, etc.
a. The Analog Control function shall allow for any one
or several of the 16 analog inputs to be assigned
to any load(s) to allow individual high
low
analog setpoints to turn each load on or and/or
off,
b. The Variable Analog Control function shall allow
the
high and low setpoinr. of any analog input controlling
a load to be continuously and linearly varied
in
response to a second analog input.
D.

Start Time Optimization
1. The Start Time Optimization function shall reduce
energy
consumption by starting assigned loads at the latest
possible time which will permit the building's internal
environmental conditions
by

to reach the desired temperature

building occupancy time.

2. The Start Time Optimization function shall use outside

air
temperarure, selected inside air temperatures, heating or
cooling thermal efficiency factors, building loss factor
and building occupancy temperature setpoint to calculate
optimum start time. The optimizing function shall be self
correcting over time.
JUN p 7 ]984

E.

Stop Time Optimization

l.. The Stop Time Optimization function shall reduce energy
consumption by stopping assigned
at the earliest
possible time that will permit theloads
building's
environmental conditions to be maintained untilinternal
the
scheduled occupancy stop time.

2. The Stop Time Optimization function shall use

the outside
air temperature, selected inside air temperature,
building
loss factor, and the permissible internal environmental
temperature

range to calculate optimum stop time.

F.

Demand Control

1. The Demand Control function shall monitor and control
electrical demand shedding (turning off) and restoring
(turning on) loads to maintain the peak demand below
programmed peak demand setpoints.

2. The Demand Control function shall provide for
up to four
or more time of day peak demand setpoints.
3. The Demand Control function shall allow for
any load to
be assigned to be shed and restored on
priority
basis.
Any number of loads may be assigned to a
priority.
4. The Demand Control function shall allow for a
maximum off
time assignable to each load to limit the amount
of time n
load may be shed.
5. The Demand Control function shall allow a minimum
time
assignable to each load to assure a minimum on timeon before
the load may be re-shed.

6. The Demand Control furction shall allow o minimum
uff
time before the load may be restarted.
7. The Demand Control function together with the
Data Logging
function shall allow for maintaining the following
statistics:
Accumu)ated Consumption (to be available on
16 inputs), past 35 days Demand Peaks
(to be available on
at least 8 inpurs), the time and date of
occurence, and
the averaged kM for every 15 minutes of the
hours (to be available on at least 2 inputs) previous 48

Dear Jannar
Rer

Energy Management System installed at the North Vancouver

Recreation Centre Complex

An Energy Management System was included in the
1984
Capital Budget in order to reduce the amount spent on
utilities
at the Recreation Centre Complex located at 23rd Street and

Lonsdale.

Last September, the Recreation Commission'pproved a
one year lease agreement (see Appendix A) with Can-Pac
Energy
Services to install an Energy Management System at the Recreation

Centre Complex in order to test the System's capabilities. The
lease agreement was set up in such a way that the majority of the
savings (752) went to the Company that did the installation,
the Recreation Commission reserved the right to purchase the and
System at any time during the lease agreement.
The Energy Management

has now proven itself
at the Recreation Centre Complex,System
and results recently received
indicate a savings of $ 11,600 ou energy consumption over the
past 4 to 5 months, which translated into terms of payback
would
be less than lj years. The Energy Management System has
not
only
saved dollars, but it has saved much wear and tear on equipment
by closely monitoring and adjusting boiler temperature, turning
off and on pumps, fans and dehumidifier,
and has Raved many hours
of staff time turning on and off lights and
monitoring equipment.
The mel.hod used by Can-Pac Energy
to determine
the amount of energy saved was verified by anServices
independent
consultant, (Keen Engineering Co . Ltd .) See Appendix B.

I hope this provides you with the information you
requested. If further information is required,
or if you would
like to see the Energy Management System, just give
me a call.

Tournament
Cedar Drive Park
June 22nd & 23rd, 1984
—

It is most regretable that I have to write this letter.

I

have been

notified by '2 members of Council and several residents about the

deplorable behaviour of the spectators at. the tournament hosted by
your organization. It has been reported that the male spectators
and players were urinating along the wooden fences, on private
property, in a resident's garage and on the bushes this is not
acceptable behaviour. Not only was this going on; but the spectators
and players were drinking beer outside the beer garden which is not
allowed. When your organization is given permission to host a tournament and a beer garden by the Parks
Recreation Department we expect
that you will conrrol the activities on the park.
Due to the fact that we had a major disturbance at Cedar Drive Park,
the Parks Recreation Department will not be allocating your
organization a beer garden for the 1985 softball season.
Thank you for your at'tention to this matter.

permission to plant several tundra pine trees within the
city's boundaries as part of National Forest Week and
Katimavik.

Our organization is currently sponsorino a Katimavik
projee.'t. As sponsors of, and advocates for Katimavik,work
we
have been asked to fa ilitate our participant's activities
in the promotion of conservation, reforestation and silvi-

culture, and trees and forests, generally.
It is our participant's wish to include the disabled clients
we serve in the agtivity of planting these trees as their
part in this week.'r. Hoogendoorf and I have discussed
the possibility of doing so and he has located an area
would be suitable. He has asked me to contact you for that
formal
approval of this activity.
Should you require more information on Katimavik and this
project please don' hesitate to contact me at my office.
Thanking you in
advance, I remain,

Yours Sincerely,
