Retro-Commissioning a Building
• Retro-commissioning (RCx)
– Identifies and improves less than-optimal energy
performance in a large building’s equipment and control
systems.
– The intent is for existing systems to work as efficiently as
designed.
– Evaluation and fine-tuning of heating and lighting systems
can be implemented as a one-time intervention, frequent
“re-tuning,” or ongoing “continuous commissioning,” to
ensure that the energy savings persist.
• Tribes can use RCx as a lead component of facilities’ energy
efficiency projects

EE Case Study: Nunamiut Village Corporation
Energy Upgrades Project description
Energy education Five Community Buildings in Anaktuvuk
Pass, AK: Manager’s dwelling,
corporation office, hotel, restaurant,
and village store.
Heating system replacements RESULTS:
Door and window replacements $313,478 cost of upgrades
Insulation and air sealing $55,000 annual energy savings
On demand hot water installed 5 year payback
Upgrade chillers, freezers for key Project Background: Yukon Watershed
commercial sites Council environmental cleanup to “Once
again drink clean water directly from the
Yukon River as our ancestors did for
thousands of years before us.”
Lighting: Replaced T-12 with T-8 The energy efficiency project contributed to
electronic ballasts. 132 LED bulbs the environmental cleanup planned since
replaced 1977.

The Zero Energy Ready Building
• Increasing insulation levels
• Air sealing the building envelope
• Installing the most efficient HVAC
• Lighting and appliances
• Whole-house approach that also takes into account building
durability and moisture issues
• Conduit, wiring, and plumbing for solar photovoltaic and water
heating panels can be conveniently added while the home is
under construction
• A zero energy-ready home is built ready for solar panels
whenever the homeowner is ready to purchase them
• With a super-efficient home, not only will the homeowner have
lower utility bills, when they are ready to install solar, they’ll
need fewer panels to reach net zero, and fewer panels mean
lower costs for purchase and installation.

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs)
• Exchange stale indoor air
with fresh outdoor air,
recovering heat and
moisture from the
exhaust air and
transferring it to supply
air.
• More popular in cold
climates, only recover
heat from exhaust air and
thus dry out the indoor
air.
• ERVs could help improve
indoor air quality by
adding moisture to the
air.
