TEST BANK FOR Energy Management 3rd Edition International Version By Klaus Dieter E. Pawlik

Introduction to Energy Management
Problem: For your university or organization, list some energy management
projects that might be good ”first ones,” or early
selections.
Solution: Early projects should have a rapid payback, a high probability
of success, and few negative consequences (increasing/
decreasing the air-conditioning/heat, or reducing
lighting levels).
Examples:
Switching to a more efficient light source (especially in
conditioned areas where one not only saves with the
reduced power consumption of the lamps but also
from reduced refrigeration or air-conditioning load).
Repairing steam leaks. Small steam leaks become large
leaks over time.
Insulating hot fluid pipes and tanks.
Install high efficiency motors.
And many more

2 Solutions Manual for Guide to Energy Management
Problem: Again for your university or organization, assume you are
starting a program and are defining goals. What are some
potential first-year goals?
Solution: Goals should be tough but achievable, measurable, and
specific.
Examples:
Total energy per unit of production will drop by 10
percent for the first and an additional 5 percent the
second.
Within 2 years all energy consumers of 5 million British
thermal units per hour (Btuh) or larger will be separately
metered for monitoring purposes.
Each plant in the division will have an active energy
management program by the end of the first year.
All plants will have contingency plans for gas curtailments
of varying duration by the end of the first year.
All boilers of 50,000 lbm/hour 'or larger will be examined
for waste heat recovery potential the first year
