After Measurement & Verification, the incentive program will effectively pay for 50% of the total project cost and SCC will benefit from ongoing energy savings from the enhanced sequences. SCC has received $49,000 in utility incentives and is set to receive an additional $61,000 if performance persists for 12 months. The majority of savings came from the added high performance sequences deployed with the new and existing Alerton controllers. This is significant savings for what was ostensibly a retrofit of 126 VAV box controllers. There has been an average savings of 28% in total building energy usage (474,246 kWh through 7 months).

To maximize incentive dollars, ATS developed and implemented high-performance VAV sequences in addition to retrofitting the controllers. The program offers incentives of up to 50% of total project cost based on post upgrade building energy performance. To retrofit the remaining LON controllers to BACnet devices, the ATS Energy Group took advantage of Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Major HVAC Controls Upgrade incentive program. However, after project completion, 126 VAV boxes remained on the LON system. In 2013, as part of a tenant improvement project ATS began converting AHUs and VAV terminal units to Alerton’s BACnet line of Visual Logic Controllers. The BAS was originally installed as a full LON system, but began transitioning to BACnet when the graphical user interface became obsolete in 2011. The building automation system (BAS) at Sunset Corporate Campus (SCC) Building #2 has gone through several modifications since its construction in the 1990s.
