Under
contract to Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories, New Horizon Technologies installed
electric end-use energy consumption monitoring equipment in six large commercial buildings
in Sandpoint, Idaho and Spokane and Seattle Washinton as part of an evaluation of the
Bonneville Power Authority Purchase of Energy Savings Program (PES).
Included among the buildings was the Westin
Hotel in Seattle, at the time, one of the largest buildings ever metered for end-use
energy consumption. The PES monitoring program was designed to document energy
savings from retrofit measures as the basis for reimbursement from BPA. In addition,
as part of the ELCAP Commercial Base Study, NHT designed measurement plans and installed
more than 100 field data acquistion systems to monitor electric end-use energy consumption
and interior temperatures in approximately 50 commercial buildings in the Seattle area.
These projects were all carried out by staff currently employed by New Horizons Technologies Energy Services. The actual contractor could have been the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), The NCAT Development Corporation, New Horizon Technologies, Inc. or New Horizons Technologies Energy Services depending on when the project was conducted.
