Army Reserve FY18-21 Energy Execution Plan ESG 4.4. Promote New and Emerging Technologies • Description: Champion New and Emerging Technologies • End-State: Provide factual performance data and application notes to encourage adoption of technologies • Challenges: Pilots and demonstrations require funding. Long lead time on some of these. • Roadmap: – Develop list of “emerging technologies“ and track product life -cycle – Highlight 1 new technology on Monthly EM Calls – Develop communications plan. • Produce "Technology Fact Sheet" for technologies not in full scale demo • Develop deployment strategy for validated technologies – Promote programs that provide support for new technologies – Fund Army Reserve-specific pilots and demos: • Phase Change Material (PCM) demonstration • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) demonstration UNCLASSIFIED Leadership, Energy, and Execution 7 NOV 2017 5
New Technology Development Process Technology Readiness Level (TRL) show path from concept, design, testing and deployment: “Real World” demonstrations are important to test new technologies in an uncontrolled, dynamic environment. EPRI 2011 (Freeman and Bhown) UNCLASSIFIED Leadership, Energy, and Execution 7 NOV 2017 6
New Technology Development Process Technology Readiness Level (TRL) show path from concept, design, testing and deployment: The Federal sector can be slow to 10 deploy commercial technologies. Widespread deployment in the Federal Sector This is another reason to demonstrate technologies at actual Federal facilities.

Different Levels of Technology Evaluation Definitions for our purposes: • Measurement & Verification (M&V): – Focus on documenting reduced energy use before/after retrofit – Collect enough extra information to normalize energy data – Primarily associated with ESPC/UESC projects. • Pilot Project – Installing equipment at an initial location to validate performance with hopes to install on a larger scale. – Generally, data collected is greater than typical M&V but not as detailed as a full-scale demonstration. • Demonstration – Similar to a pilot but adds additional data points to not just understand how something performs, but why . – Key outcome is ability to generalize how the device will perform in other locations, situations, etc. and the estimated economics in those situations. – For our purposes this is NOT a prototype or proof-of-concept (TRL 7) • Testbed – A “testbed” is a location established with ample metering, data loggers, and/or test equipment that will be used to conduct multiple demonstrations of technologies or multiple scenarios for a given technology UNCLASSIFIED Leadership, Energy, and Execution 7 NOV 2017 8
Active Technology Evaluations • Phase Change Materials (PCM) – 63d RSC, Sacramento California • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) – Planned for FY18, location TBD • Waste-to-Energy (WTE): ESTCP/SERDP – Fort Hunter Liggett • Rainwater Harvesting – Fort Buchanan, PR (with solar ITTP) – 63 rd RSC, Grand Prairie, Texas – 81 st RSC, Savannah, Georgia • CEC microgrid grant (co-funding) – Submitted FY18, Camp Parks – Submitted FY18, 63 rd RSC • Deep data dive / machine learning on EBCS/MDMS data – Proposed, TBD?

Forrestal Field Findings • Do your homework: – select viable technology – determine acceptable products/manufacturers • Buy American Act - product compliance challenging • Release clear and detailed RFQ/NOO – Specific M&V requirements and protocols essential • Beneficial to complete within one fiscal year • Field hurdles – incompatibility with existing equipment or systems UNCLASSIFIED Leadership, Energy, and Execution 7 NOV 2017 15
Lessons Learned from other PCM Projects • PCM melting point temperature selection process – Utilize engineering calculations & data logging for proper PCM selection – More than one melting temperature is usually necessary • Control heating and cooling setpoints & scheduling – Allowed occupants to change setpoints & scheduling • Effects - increases energy usage • Establish proper test procedures with M&V – Inconsistent results based on utilizing utility meter data and not monitoring HVAC equipment • Collect longer periods of baseline and post data – Data analysis is inconclusive with regression analysis when periods are too short • Complex HVAC systems create a challenge to monitor – The simpler the HVAC systems (single zone RTU) the easier the monitoring – Central plant HVAC systems and the effects of ancillary equipment (chillers and boilers) are challenging UNCLASSIFIED Leadership, Energy, and Execution 7 NOV 2017 16
