[Equest-users] EUI info on sanitary lift stations

[Jim Fowler]

That was a great piece of information, thank you, David. - I'll look for the
BPA study as well.

 

I came to the same conclusion as Vikram - kWh/gallons pumped normalized for
head.  Anchorage has enough lift stations to create their own EUI database,
that's what I'm recommending going forward.

 

Thanks to all.

Jim

That's how they charge the users, right? I totally agree Vikram.still check
the EUI since that's what people are looking for as a basis for comparison,
but it may be totally out of bounds compared to more common building types.

 

The energy use will be dependent on the sizing of the pumps and other
equipment, which may only loosely correspond to the area of the utility's
building that houses the equipment.

 

Leave a pad for future expansion and gain 2,000 ft2 towards your EUI
denominator? Doesn't seem fair.

It also seems to me that EUI (energy/ft2 of building) is probably not an
appropriate metric for this. The energy use is probably more dependent on
how much stuff they move. Energy per ft3 (of 'stuff') might be more
appropriate.
