  1. Energy saving in a Reasearch Facility Peter Natkanski

  2. The business case for designing a New R&D Facility The Research Biology Center of Novartis Crop Protection in Stein/AG Jost Harr, Ph.D. R&D Special Projects and Public Affairs Europe Novartis Crop Protection AG

  3. Decision to build new Research Facility in 1996 • Several mergers and acquisitions 1970-1996 Novartis has 5 research sites in Switzerland • Consolidation in preferably one site is desirable • Contrary to earlier projects, the final one had to be accomplished with a very lean budget of CHF 76 Mio (approx. $ 50 Mio). • No compromises on quality • Accommodate the desires and ideas of users coming from 3 different company cultures

  4. Management Architect Engineers Users

  5. Management $$$ Architect Engineers Y=f(x3) Users

  6. Some extremely safe ways to failure: • “User requirements are just wishful thinking” • “An architect’s concepts are just dreams” • “Engineering rules are carved in stone” • “Management will agree to a higher budget”

  7. Some extremely safe ways to success • Future users define their requirements • Team challenges user requirements • Architects compete with proposals • Team challenges architect’s lay-out • Team reconcilesbudgetary constraints, user requirements, design, and engineering

  8. Essential activities and facilities identified by users Laboratories & Offices Potting of test plants Climate chambers HQ Basel Test plant rearing Greenhouses Seeding & Potting Lab material Soil substrates Supply of lab material Pathogen rearing Insect rearing Composting Radiolab. tests Application rooms etc. etc. etc.

  9. Grouping of Activities and Facilities Laboratories & offices Climate chambers Insects Greenhouse activities: rearing and testing Application of test compounds radiolab. tests Pathogens Supply of lab mat. Seeding & potting HQ Basel Soil & substrates Composting & trash

  13. Composing the Project Team: Optimal Association Internal: Project Manager Project Engineer User Representatives Engineering Specialists Purchasing Specialists Controllers Site Safety Officer External: Architect General Contractors Engineering Specialists Individual Contractors Consultants

  14. Managing the Project Key Success Factors • Strong linkage of internal and external expertise • Involvement of future users from beginning of project • Delegation of responsibilities • Severe cost control from purchasing through entire implementation phase

  15. Examples for Successful Team Approach • E.U. von Weizsäckers book • “Factor 4: double wealth with 50% input” • was a major theme in the project • Factors influencing energy consumption: • Building shell (often leaking in industrial buildings) • Air-conditioning • Using or wasting surplus energy • Exaggerated overall cold temperature requirements • Lab hoods wasting heat via common building aeration

  16. Examples for Successful Team Approach • Building shell • k-value of walls: 0.3-0.4 • k-value of windows: 1.0 • k-value overall: approx. 0.7

  17. Examples for Successful Team Approach Air conditioning Users agreed this was a non-issue! (Of course, this is not Florida or Cairo!) Advantage: all windows can be opened.

  18. Examples for Successful Team Approach • Using surplus energy • Several installations and processes generate heat that can be used for heating from fall to spring. • Example 1: Growth lamps in glasshouses. Heat is kept inside glasshouse through energy shield when lamps are on. • Effectiveness: 50-60 %

  19. Examples for Successfule Team Approach • Using surplus energy • Example 2: Growth lamps in climate chambers. Heat is re- gained and is used in active floors/ceilings for heating in winter. (Strongly supporting regular heating system in lab building)

  20. Examples for Successful Team Approach • Using surplus energy • Example 2: Growth lamps in climate chambers. Heat is re- gained and is used in active floors/ceilings for heating in winter. (Strongly supporting regular heating system in lab building) • Users agreed to open ceilings required for temperature exchange. Fringe benefit: easy access to infrastructure!

  21. Examples for Successful Team Approach • Using surplus energy • Example 3. Cheapest and most ecological way to produce cold: Ammonia compressors produce ice; brine pipes transport cold to anywhere in facility. • Advantage:produce ice with cheap electricity at night or when heat needed! Disadvantage: coldest temperature guaranteed is +4oC

  22. Examples for Successful Team Approach • Using surplus energy • Example 3. Cheapest and most ecological way to produce cold: Ammonia compressors produce ice; brine pipes transport cold to anywhere in facility. • Advantage:produce ice with cheap electricity at night or when heat needed! Disadvantage: coldest temperature guaranteed is +4oC • Users agreed to min. +4oC (where lower temps. required: local solutions )

  23. Exasmples for Successful Team Approach • Reducing energy losses • Example 4. Lab hoods are energy waste machines! Normally hooked to central aeration system: continuous loss of heat in winter. • Users agreed to slightly less efficient but safe individual hoods. 25% fresh air, 75% recycled (filtered) air. Can be turned off if not in use. • Energy loss reduced >75%!

  24. Reasons for success of Project Team ? ? ?

  25. Reason for success of Project Team • Internal expertise in key technical areas • Internal best-of-class purchasing • Internal rigid cost controlling • Internal continuous challenge • Internal rigid time controlling • Involvement of contractors in Project Team • Involvement of future users • Show-piece function of project

  26. In a nutshell success came through.. • Amalgamating internal and external forces • Reaching consensus instead of compromise • Decision making: even wrong or suboptimal decisions were the result of thorough discussions
