MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY & RECREATION CENTER AUGUST 26, 2013 PROJECT UPDATE

Community and Recreation Center Project Update August 26, 2013

Since the Last Update KBA has:

Had kick off meetings with the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers. Continued to work with the Civil Engineer on the Land Development plans. Reviewed the building with Township code officials. Received the Geotechnical Report. Reviewed the building requirements for phone, cable, data, security, Wi-Fi, access controls and A/V with the Township.

Major Topics at the Steering Committee

Geothermal or Conventional Heating and Air Conditioning The Mechanical Engineer prepared an Energy Model for the building using the proposed materials for the exterior building envelope and the proposed hours of operation from the Feasibility Study. Conventional System consists of roof top mounted gas heating and electric cooling units. Geothermal System consists of approximately 40 450 bore holes on the site, piping, manifolds and heat pump units throughout the building. The proposed geothermal system has an additional up front installation cost of approximately $400,000 over a conventional system. The energy model showed a simple payback of 40 years.

Geothermal or Conventional Heating and Air Conditioning The payback of 40 years seemed counterintuitive to what we had heard about geothermal systems. We collected real world data from Haverford Rec Center, YMCA and the existing Township Building as a check. On a cost per year per square foot of building the Township Building uses $2.69, the gas system at the Rec Center uses $1.46 and the Rec Center with geothermal would use $1.25. Due to the low cost of natural gas and the high installation cost of geothermal the cost savings on the geothermal system is approximately $8200 per year. Equal to over 40 year payback. The BOS needs to provide direction on selection of an HVAC system.

Major Topics at the Steering Committee

Due to the current lack of rebates and grants solar power and wind power are not viable options. Daylight harvesting and motion detectors will be used for lighting control. All lights will be either LED or fluorescent. Use of sophisticated HVAC control systems.

Other Energy Saving Options

Moving Forward
The bulk of the drawings will start to be created as we move into the Construction Document Phase. Ongoing coordination between all the consultants. Proposed interior finishes, materials and colors will likely be presented at the next progress meeting. Begin to review options for the Cardio and Weight Room Equipment.
