  Challenges Working withthe Industrial Sector The industrial sector presents a unique challenge to the energy efficiency and renewable energy program. While industrial facilities also have the same end uses as commercial buildings (lighting, HVAC, basic plug loads, etc. ) energy use is often dominated by industrial process. Motivating these customers requires programmatic approaches and expertise that are respectful of an industrial plant’s unique patterns of use and the focus on its fundamental manufacturing needs. 4

  Case Study 2:Sugarloaf Mountain Efficient Snow Making Project (Efficiency Maine Funded Project) • Sugarloaf Mountain is Known for Its History of Environmental Stewardship and Energy Efficiency Practices – – – – Energy Efficiency Waste Management Waste Water Treatment Use of Bio-Fuels • Sugarloaf Mountain has Developed a Long-Term Relationship with Efficiency Maine Field and Technical Staff • Efficient Snow Making Projects Motivated by Ongoing Discussions and Promotion by Efficiency Maine Technical Staff 12
• 13.
  Facility Characteristics • EnergyUse Dominated by Snow Making – Compressed Air (1000s of HP) – Water Pumping (1000s of HP) • Short Snow Making Operating Season • Had Been Dominated by Low Efficiency, Traditional Compressed Air-Water Snow Guns • New Technologies Are Now Prevalent – Single-Ring Fan Systems – Multi-Ring Fan Systems – HKD Systems 13
• 14.
  Multi-Ring Fan Systems/HKDSystems Adopted at Sugarloaf Mountain • High Efficiency Fan Systems – On-Board Compressor for Snow Nucleation – Primary Energy for Ducted Fan System – High Velocity Fan Propels and Distributes Snow to Desired Locations – Water and Electrical Connections – Performs Well in Marginal Weather Condition Performance • HKD Snow Guns – Higher Efficiency Variant of Traditional AirWater Snow Gun – Typically Used as Base Locations – Tower Design Reduces Compressed Air 14
