Date: May 4, 2015 DOE Attendees: Ashley Armstrong, Lucy DeButts, EERE Outside attendees: Patrick Keal, Big Ass Solutions and Terry Paul and Janie Wise, Cassidy & Associates Meeting Contact: Janie Wise – jwise@cassidy.com / 202-585-2553 Subject: Pending rulemaking on Ceiling Fans Energy Conservation Standards Summary: Big Ass Solutions is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, and designs and manufactures a variety of fan models for commercial, industrial and residential use. BAS met with DOE to discuss the ongoing rulemaking process for the residential ceiling fans energy conservation standards, docket number EERE-2012- BT -STD-0045. The discussion focused on occupancy sensors and how the energy consumption of standby mode operation would be accommodated in the forthcoming energy conservation standards. BAS and argued that ceiling fans without occupancy sensors, like overhead lights, are prone to being left on even when rooms are empty and they serve no utility. The energy wasted from lighting left on has been well documented. BAS noted that the newest update of ASHRAE 90.1 will give a 10% credit for automatic occupancy sensors installed on lighting, as these sensors will result in enhanced energy savings. BAS also noted that a recent Navigant study on lighting found that lights without occupancy sensors are on for an average of 40% of the time when there is no one in the room. That study is here: http://library.cee1.org/sites/default/files/library/11458/CEE_LightingMarketCharacterization.pdf and the key table from the study is pasted below. BAS also submits for consideration another study from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Lighting Research Center and the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR program analysis the energy and cost savings potential of occupancy sensors for commercial lighting systems. Notably it found that occupancy sensors help reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings in particular during peak demand times. That study is attached. Participants also discussed the ballpark of potential cost impacts of the future rulemaking on ceiling fan manufacturers. DOE noted that manufacturer impact analysis that includes formal cost projections will first appear in the notice of proposed rulemaking. Participants discussed the timing of the proposed rule and projected schedule for the final rule. Participants also discussed whether any Big Ass Solutions products would be covered under the forthcoming rulemaking for Commercial and Industrial Fans and Blowers.

IES Paper #43 1 08/16/00An Analysis of the Energy and Cost Savings Potential of Occupancy Sensors for Commercial Lighting Systems

Introduction

Since their introduction more than 20 years ago, occupancy sensor controls for lighting systems have promised significant energy and dollar savings potential in a variety of commercial lighting applications. By automatically controlling lighting to turn lights off when spaces are unoccupied, occupancy sensors controls compliment connected load reductions accomplished by lamp and ballast retrofits, giving building owners and operators additional opportunities to improve energy savings without compromising lighting service to building occupants. With typical estimated energy savings potential in from 1⁄4 to more than 1⁄2 of lighting energy (Audin, 1993, EPRI 1992), occupancy sensors have frequently been promoted as one of the most cost effective technologies available for retrofitting commercial lighting systems. Both national and many state new construction codes also recognize the contribution of occupancy sensors to meet the power density allowances for designing interior lighting systems.

Despite widespread promotion of these benefits, occupancy sensors have relatively poor market development compared to other lighting technologies. In addition to confronting the typical market barriers facing all new lighting technologies (high first cost, no uniform performance standards or measurement methodology, difficulty in specifying and commissioning, interaction with other system components, long term persistence due to user interference, etc), occupancy sensors also suffer from the difficulty of definitively predicting and demonstrating savings. Unlike technologies that reduce connected load where savings can be readily measured, occupancy sensor performance is dependent on the user occupancy, lighting control patterns, sensor selection and commissioning. Consequently even within generic space uses categories, industry savings estimates range by a factor of two to three as shown in Table 1.

These savings estimates have also been criticized as being overly optimistic, given that energy saved during utility off-peak hours is typically less valuable than energy saved during utility shoulder or peak periods. These

IES Paper #43 2 08/16/00performance uncertainties make it difficult to predict the economic benefit, and create significant additional specification risks beyond those borne by demand limiting measures.

Previous Work
Little objective, independent and detailed research information is available on occupancy and lighting patterns. Single building case studies have also reported a range of savings in a variety of applications. Savings of 10% to 19% have been reported for classrooms (Floyd, et al., 1995; Rundquist, 1996), and of 27% to 43% in private offices (Jennings et al., 1999; Maniccia et al., 1999; Seattle City Light, 1992). Richman, et al. (1996) reports potential energy savings of between 45% and 3% for private offices and between 86% and 73% for restrooms.

The primary objective of the present study was to investigate lighting operation and workspace occupancy patterns across numerous commercial buildings to better quantify the performance estimates of occupancy sensors across typical space types. By examining how occupants occupy their spaces and manually control their lighting, and comparing these baselines to modeled occupancy sensor control scenarios, energy and dollars savings potentials are investigated. Note that the system economics of evaluating energy savings against lamp maintenance costs for these same control scenarios are evaluated in an associated paper, The Effects of Changes Occupancy Sensor Timeout Setting on Energy Savings, Lamp Cycling, and Maintenance Costs.

Methodology

Sixty organizations were chosen for study from active participants in the US. Environmental Protection Agency ’ s Green Lights Program. The study buildings were located in twenty-four states, and occupied by profit, not-for profit, service and manufacturing companies, healthcare organizations, primary and secondary education, and local, state, and federal government entities. The diversity of age, size, efficiency, ownership and occupancy types for these buildings was intended to represent a typical cross section of the country ’ s commercial building stock.

IES Paper #43 3 08/16/00Rooms for study were identified by on-site facilities management staff as representative of space types within that building, both in their floorplan, occupancy, and lighting system . All spaces contained manual controls for the lighting systems, with a minimum connected lighting load of at least 150 watts. A two-week monitoring period between February and September 1997 was chosen to represent a typical lighting and occupancy schedule. Data for 180 rooms were originally collected; after eliminating records with inconsistent or incomplete data, the study database contained 158 rooms categorized by primary occupancy type into 42 restrooms, 37 private offices, 35 classrooms, 33 conference rooms, and 11 break rooms. Rooms were surveyed for occupancy type, dimensions and lighting system specification. Occupancy and lighting operation data was collected using Wattstopper InteliTimer
Pro ® IT100 data loggers. The logger device recorded the time and state of the light and/or occupancy condition. Each time occupancy or the lighting condition changed, the logger documented the time of day and the change in condition. An algorithm was developed to convert the data recorded from the Watt Stopper InteliTimer Pro device into one-minute increments for the 14-day monitoring period. There were cases when the lights were turned on and off, but no occupant was detected in the space. This was considered a detection error, and was corrected by modifying the data set to switch the occupancy condition from unoccupied to occupied for those instances. This occurred for:

• six of the break rooms with detection errors ranging between one and 181 events (0% to 1% of the total events)

• 17 of the classrooms with detection errors ranging between one and 2,677 events (0% to 13% of the total events)

• 16 of the conference rooms with detection errors ranging between one and 1,681 events (0% to 8% of the total events)

• 17 of the private offices with detection errors ranging between one and 5,686 events (0% to 28% of the total events)

• seven of the restrooms with detection errors ranging between one and 275 events (0% to 1% of the total events).

IES Paper #43 4 08/16/00Descriptive statistics were calculated and cost analyses were performed for weekdays, weekends, and for the total 14-day monitoring period. Data also were analyzed by separating 24-hour periods into one 12-hour day shift (Day) and one 12-hour evening shift (Night). Day and night shifts were analyzed from 06:00 to 18:00 and 18:00 to 06:00, respectively. Data presented for weekdays were averaged over the 10 weekdays, and for weekends were averaged over the four weekend days in the monitoring period. Data presented for the total period were averaged over the 14-day monitoring period. Baseline occupant switching and occupancy patterns were established using the collected data on occupancy and light usage. The baseline occupancy and light usage data were then used for modeling the effects of installing occupancy sensors with 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-minute time delay periods.

Statistical analyses also were conducted to investigate whether there were significant differences between the energy use for shift (day or night), time of week (weekday or weekend), and timeout setting, or any interactions between shift and timeout settings and time of week and timeout settings. These analyses were used to provide evidence of which differences were real and which occurred by chance. Within-subjects analyses of variance using repeated measures (ANOVR) were used for the analyes. One analysis compared day and night periods to the baseline and the four timeout settings. A second analysis compared the weekday and weekend data for a 24-hourperiod to the baseline and the four timeout settings. Follow-up tests were conducted using pairwise comparison ttests.

For the energy calculations, the total load for each room was used to determine lighting energy use and waste. Lighting energy use was calculated by multiplying the total lighting load by the time that the lights were on and the room was occupied. Lighting energy waste was calculated by multiplying the total load by the time that the lights were on and the room was unoccupied. Total energy savings was determined by applying a flat $0.08/kWh rate to the modeled energy savings under each control scenario.

IES Paper #43 5 08/16/00Findings – Baseline data

Total energy savings potential
Determining the basic energy savings potential across applications requires establishing a baseline of observed occupancy and lighting conditions. Lighting and occupancy use in any space will always fall into one of the following four conditions:

1. Occupied with the lights on 2. Occupied with the lights off 3. Unoccupied with the lights on 4. Unoccupied with the lights off

Of the four conditions, the first three are of particular interest. Condition one is of interest for garnering information about how frequently occupants use these types of spaces with the lights on. Conditions two and three are of interest when considering lighting controls. If occupants frequently occupy a space with the lights off (condition two), then a manual lighting control device that allows occupants to turn lights off when needed should be provided. Condition three represents wasted lighting energy by having lights on when spaces are unoccupied. This condition is of primary importance when considering using automatic occupancy sensor control. Table 2 lists the average percentage of time each application was in each of the first three occupancy and lighting conditions.

Table 2 illustrates that spaces were infrequently occupied, with the daily percentage of total occupied time with lights on and off never exceeding 24%. Also, occupants did not diligently turn lights off when they vacated spaces, with the lighting system in classrooms, conference rooms, and restrooms operating more often when the occupants were out of the room than in the room. This is intuitively understandable in common area applications (such as restrooms and conference rooms), where occupants do not feel that the lighting is “ theirs ” to control. The split, however, is still fairly even in private offices, indicating that even in personal spaces, occupants were not diligent about controlling their lighting use. The data shown for condition 2 indicates that occupants rarely occupied spaces with the lights off, indicating that for these spaces there may be a small potential benefit of installing manual

IES Paper #43 6 08/16/00controls. Note that since the presence of daylight availability was not documented in this study, however, it is difficult to compare these results to other studies which have found higher savings potentials from installing manual controls (Maniccia et al., 1999 ).

Time of day/week impacts on energy savings

Determining the applicability of occupancy sensors as a control strategy suitable to obtain these savings requires an examination of when those savings present themselves. As an automatic control strategy, occupancy sensors work best in areas where occupancy is intermittent and unpredictable. Where the lighting is inadvertently left on overnight by cleaning, security, or occupants, a more cost effective control strategy may be an education campaign, or the installation of a simple timeclock. For these reasons, the savings estimates are examined over four defined periods - weekday days, weekday evenings, weekend days, and weekend evenings.

As expected, Table 3 demonstrates that the majority of energy use (76-88%) occurs for all space types during the weekdays, with 55-85% of total energy use occurring during the day. Likewise, the majority of energy waste (between 70-87%) occurs during the weekdays, not on the weekends. For all space types except restrooms, the majority energy waste also occurs during the daytime (53-70%) rather than in the evenings. This indicates that occupants controlled their lighting poorly during the workday, but were more diligent about turning the lights off after hours and over weekends. This is particularly true for personal spaces such as private offices, where occupants feel a high degree of control over their lighting, and less true in common area spaces, such as classrooms andrestrooms, where a high percentages of waste occurred over weekends and after hours. This indicates that timebased controls (timers, timeclocks) could eliminate a significant amount of energy waste in common areas by controlling runaway operation after hours and on weekends, however occupancy-based controls would be more effective given they save not only after hours but also at capturing savings during business hours.

Coincidence of savings with peak demand
Central to defining the economic benefits of occupancy sensors is understanding when the savings opportunities occur. Most commercial and industrial facilities pay a considerable portion (as high as 40%) of their

IES Paper #43 7 08/16/00electric energy bill for the peak demand created by the electric loads. Lighting is the second largest contributor to summer peak demand in commercial facilities, and rivals heating as the largest contributor to a commercial building ’ s winter peak. As such, reductions in lighting demand can significantly impact the energy bill.

Occupancy sensors have been criticized in their ability to reduce this peak demand, saving cheaper kilowatts in the utility ’ s off-peak billing hours rather than during the peak demand billing period. Although the value of this savings is highly dependent on how the utility billing rate is structured (time-of-use, annual peak, ratcheted, etc), it is useful to examine when the potential savings occur to understand how occupancy sensors may contribute to reducing a building ’ s peak demand, and reducing demand during peak utility periods. To evaluate this, Figures 1-5 illustrate the time of day profiles for when the spaces were lighted and occupied, and lighted and unoccupied for all weekdays..

Figures 1-5 indicate that the control ’ s largest contributions to potential savings are not coincident with a building ’ s peak occupancy. This is intuitive; when occupancy rises, occupancy-based savings opportunities diminishes. Although the majority of energy savings from sensors occur during weekdays, the sensors largest contribution to savings (with the exception of conference rooms and offices) is generally not coincident with a building ’ s peak load (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or with a utility ’ s peak billing periods (early afternoon hours). This would indicate that while sensors can reduce a buildings peak load, they may not be a reliable method of achieving of peak savings due to the diversity of savings profiles observed among these different space types.

Findings

– Occupancy Sensor Simulations

Impact of time-out period on energy savings

Most occupancy sensors are equipped with a variable time delay feature to adjust the time interval between the last detected motion and the switching off of the lamps. This allows the sensor to be customized to the application to reduce the chance of lamps switching off when a room is occupied but minor motions are not detected. Adjusting the time delay creates a tradeoff between saving energy and avoiding occupant complaints. Longer time delays reduce the incidence of occupant complaints. Shorter time delays increase energy savings

IES Paper #43 8 08/16/00(particularly in rooms that are infrequently and briefly occupied), but also reduces lamp life from more frequent lamp cycling. Manufacturers report time delay setting ranging from several seconds to more than 30 minutes.

To examine the impact of time delay on energy savings, control scenarios for 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-minute time delays were modeled for each application. Statistical analyses were also conducted to investigate the impact of time of day, time of week, and timeout setting on energy use. Note that the impact of frequent switching on lamp and maintenance costs for these same control scenarios are evaluated in an associated paper, The Effects of Changes Occupancy Sensor Timeout Setting on Energy Savings, Lamp Cycling, and Maintenance Costs.
Statistical Analysis Findings
As discussed in the “ Methodology ” section, statistical analyses of the energy use data were conducted to investigate whether there were significant differences between the energy use for Shift (day or night), time of week (weekday or weekend), and timeout setting, or any interactions between shift and timeout settings and time of week and timeout settings. The energy use data for each Shift were compared to the baseline and the timeout settings for one analysis. A second analysis compared the weekday and weekend data for a 24-hour period to the baseline and the timeout settings.
The statistical analyses addressed the following questions:

• Is there a significant energy use difference between the shifts for the total monitoring period?

• Is there a significant energy use difference between the baseline and each timeout setting?

• Is there a significant energy use difference between weekdays and weekends?

Shift verses timeout settings
There were no significant interactions between the energy use for each shift and for the timeout settings for the break rooms or for the classrooms. For both applications, differences between the main effects (Shifts 1 and 2) were significant (p < 0.01 for the break rooms, and p < 0.001 for the classrooms). Differences between the timeout setting main effects were also significant for both of these applications (p < 0.01 for the break rooms, and p < 0.01

IES Paper #43 9 08/16/00for the classrooms). Figures 6 through 9 illustrate the results of the main effects tests for the break rooms and classrooms, respectively.

Significant interactions occurred between energy use for each shift and timeout settings for the conference rooms (p < 0.05), private offices (p < 0.001), and restrooms (p < 0.01). Follow-up tests illustrated that differences between the shifts at each timeout setting and the baseline condition were all significant (p < 0.001) for all three applications. Differences between the baseline condition and each timeout setting were all significant for Shift 1 for all three applications (p < 0.001). Differences between the baseline condition and each timeout setting also were significant for Shift 2 for all three applications (the conference rooms and private offices [p < 0.01] and restrooms [p <0.001]). Figures 10 through 12 illustrate the results of the follow-up tests with the 95% confidence intervals.

Figures 6 through 12 illustrate that more energy is used during the day than at night, which would be expected of these types of applications. They also show that installing occupancy sensors decreases baseline energy use, and that energy use increases as the timeout setting increases because lights remain on for longer periods of time.
Time of week verses timeout settings

There were significant interactions between the energy use for time of week and timeout settings for all five applications (p < 0.05 for the break rooms and p < 0.001 for the classrooms, conference rooms, private offices, and restrooms). Follow-up tests illustrated that differences between the energy use values for the weekdays and weekends at each timeout setting and the baseline were significant for all of the applications (p < 0.01 for the break rooms, and p < 0.001 for the classrooms, conference rooms, private offices, and restrooms). Differences between the energy use values for the baseline and each timeout setting for the weekdays also were significant for each application (p < 0.01 for the break rooms and classrooms, and p < 0.001 for the conference rooms, private offices, and restrooms). Differences between the energy use values for the baseline and each timeout setting for the weekends were not significant for the break rooms, classrooms, and conference rooms. However, these differences were significant for the private offices (p < 0.05) and restrooms (p < 0.001). These results are illustrated in Figures 13 through 17.

IES Paper #43 10 08/16/00The two main points that can be taken away from this analysis are:

• the differences between the energy use for each timeout setting and the baseline for each application were all significant for each shift. This indicates that energy savings can be achieved during the day and at night using occupancy sensors.

• the differences between the energy use for each timeout setting and the baseline for each application were all significant for the weekdays, but varied by application for the weekends. This indicates that energy savings can be achieved during the week for all applications, and during the weekend for private offices and restrooms.

Effects of Time Delay on Energy and Cost Savings As demonstrated in Table 4, the savings estimates were considerable across all space types (ranging from 17-60%), and consistent with the ranges of industry estimates provided in Table 1. Table 4 illustrates that both application and time delay selection significantly impacts the quantity of available savings. For this data set, restrooms showed the highest overall savings, followed by classrooms, conference rooms, and private offices. Break rooms showed the lowest overall savings. The range of savings between the shortest and longest time out setting varied with application as well because of the occupancy pattern differences among the applications. Classrooms had the smallest savings difference between the 5- and 20-minute time out settings (6%) and restrooms had the largest difference (13%).

Figures 18-22 illustrate the load profiles for the baseline energy use and modeled energy use under 5 and 20 minute simulated delay conditions. These figures graphically depict the differences found in the energy savings captured between the longest and shortest time delays. These figures also confirm the observations found from the baseline occupancy and lighting conditions depicted in Figures 1-5; although the majority of energy savings from sensors occur during weekdays, the sensors largest contribution to savings (with the exception of conference rooms and offices) is generally not coincident with a building ’ s peak load or with a utility ’ s peak billing periods. This suggests that while sensors can reduce a buildings peak load, sensors may not be a reliable method of achieving peak savings in buildings with a diversity of space types.

IES Paper #43 11 08/16/00Conclusions/Recommendations for Future Work

People do not occupy spaces for a large percentage of time, and are not diligent about controlling the lighting in their spaces both during the workday, and after hours and weekends. This applies to both public spaces as well as personal spaces. The majority of this energy waste occurs during the weekdays, not during the weeknights or over the weekends. This pattern of energy waste is particularly suited to control by occupancy sensors, which not only prevent runaway operation after typical business hours, but also capture savings during the business day. Although the majority of observed savings opportunities occurred during the weekday, the peak savings contributions from occupancy sensors for several space types did not fall within the typical peak utility billing periods (early afternoon) or peak commercial building demand periods (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). This suggests that while sensors may help to save expensive kilowatt-hours, they would have a variable effect at reducing a building ’ s peak demand, given their variable performance in when they provide high levels of savings among the various space types. This would be a useful topic of additional research, where assigning specific kilowatt-hour rates to each kilowatt-hour saved would yield more accurate indication of the economic benefits of installing sensors within these various space types. Finally, modeling control scenarios with 5- to 20-minute time delay periods indicated savings potentials that were within the ranges suggested by the industry estimates. The time delay settings used for these analyses showed that energy savings can range from between 6% and 13% depending on the application and on which time out setting is used. In addition, the highest savings were obtained in the restroom application (47% to 60%), and the lowest in the break rooms (17% to 29%). Thus, the time delay selection can greatly impact energy savings. Although these savings are significant they do not consider the increased maintenance lamp and labor replacement costs that could result due to more frequent lamp switching. This is evaluated in a related paper entitled The Effects of Changes Occupancy Sensor Timeout Setting on Energy Savings, Lamp Cycling, and Maintenance Costs.
