Medford Aquatic Center

The Medford Aquatic Center's energy efficiency plan emphasizes innovative strategies for natural gas and electrical efficiency, recommending condensing boilers with over 90% efficiency and premium motors and lighting systems. The proposal includes solar readiness for heating and electricity systems to reduce natural gas use and utilize net metering. Aiming for sustainability, the design incorporates solar-ready infrastructure and encourages applying for utility incentives through the Energy Trust, ensuring cost-effective energy solutions for year-round facilities.

  1. Medford Aquatic Center Plan for Energy Efficiency and Solar resources

  2. Energy Efficiency: Natural Gas Water Heating • Recommendation: Design for: Condensing boilers that provide efficiencies over 90% compared to 80% or less for industry standard. Condensing boilers qualify for utility incentives!

  3. Energy Efficiency – Electrical • Recommendation: Design for: Premium efficiency motors, pumps and drives, HVAC and lighting to save power. • Apply to Energy Trust for incentives.

  4. Solar Resources: Plumb for Solar Ready • Recommendation: • Plumb for Solar: Preheat water with solar to reduce natural gas use. Only to be considered on year-a-round facilities. • May not be cost effective at this time.

  5. Water Heating - Solar • Recommendation: Solar water heating can offset natural gas but should only be considered on year-a-round facilities. Natural gas has no “net metering” that banks credit by spinning the meter backward, so solar water heating has to offset actual use!

  6. Solar Electric – Wire Solar Ready • Recommendation: Wire for Solar: Year around savings. Offsets peak demand. Net metering provides savings even when the aquatic center is not used. Currently may not be cost effective. Prices are dropping. • Incentives: Energy Trust: $.75-1.25/watt. Max $150,000

  7. Solar Ready-Electric • Recommendation: Make facility ready for solar PV installation. • South facing roof or solar shade ~27º pitch • Architectural standing seam roof • Conduits and space for inverter

  8. Renewable Incentives: Energy Trust-BETC - Federal • Recommendations: Plan to apply for applicable incentives • Energy Trust-Yes • Federal 30% - N/A • BETC: (BETC new rules 1-1-2012) • Conservation – Yes • Renewable - No
