2. Project Overview
Magnum Caf require assistance in their major renovation of their flag-ship caf in
Grand Indonesia in order to make it energy/water efficient while remaining a
pleasant environment for the clients. GIZ has the option to fund the energy
efficiency audit and be part of Magnum Cafs significant energy savings efforts.
The data from this audit and Magnum Caf commitment to be the premium energy
efficient food and beverage retail space in Indonesia is a great value to GIZ
Indonesias Renewable Energy Support Program.
Magnum Caf is very open to cooperate with GIZ and ESDM on this project. Some
of the future cooperation between GIZ/ESDM and Magnum Caf could be:

a) Continue data collection for baseline study plus continued operations


monitoring. Magnum Caf may share the energy usage data for further study
by GIZ/ESDM
b) Equipment replacement plus design for the new renovation according to GIZ
and ESDM recommendations
c) Marketing and public announcement of the energy efficiency project
highlighting GIZ/ESDMs involvement
Mr. Susanto has already completed an initial site visit, documented in the attached
report. During this initial visit there are several obvious energy efficiency issues. A
very basic comparison between the existing equipment and new energy efficient
equipment was done with the following results:
a) Energy used for cold storage can be reduced between 20-40%
b) Energy used for air conditioning can be reduced between 30-60%
Magnum Caf is very committed to energy efficiency not only because they care for
the environment but also to reduce their energy costs. Currently they are paying an
average of Rp 80,000,000 per month for electricity. Their Energy Utilization Index is
about > 630 kWh/m2year as compared to 350-500 kWh/m2year for a commercial
building (Indonesias EBTKE Guide to Energy Efficiency).

3. Proposed Scope of work


2 Energy Efficiency Audit Level 1
The ASHRAE1 Level-1 audit is focused on identifying the potentials for energy
efficiency, understanding the overall building set up, and defining the type and
nature of energy usages. The audit should create a preliminary energy-use
benchmark based on the actual historical energy use. A brief report will describe
the results, which include identifying a number of recognizable efficiency
opportunities. This audit report will only uncover major problems and corrective
measures are briefly described. Quick estimates of implementation costs, potential
operating cost savings, and simple payback periods are provided.
The ASHRAE Level-1 audit is designed to help the end user establish a baseline for
measuring improvements; determine whether further evaluation is needed; and
when so, where and how that effort can be focused. This can help minimize the
price of the much more intensive higher-level work involved in the Level-2 and -3
audits. When the information for its industry is available, the Level-1 audit also
helps identify how the facility performs when benchmarked against its peers.
1 ASHRAE is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable
technology for the built environment. ASHRAE energy audit processes have become
the industry standard practice. We follow ASHRAE standards and guidelines in our
energy audits.

Activities that may be undertaken for the Level-1 Audit include:


a) Walk through of the facility
b) Instantaneous data collection and some very short term data logging may be
done if necessary (this is above and beyond ASHRAEs definition, but in some
instances it helps to gather better information for a higher quality report)
c) List of possible EEMs (Energy Efficiency Measures) with estimated
investment, savings and payback period in 3 categories: No/Low cost, Midrange potential capital improvement investment, High-range potential capital
improvement investment
d) Assess the need for a more detailed audit (Level-2 or beyond) in order to
reach a final decision on implementing proposed capital improvement
investments

3 Energy Efficiency Audit Level 2


The ASHRAE Level-2 audit is focused on more detailed energy calculations and
financial analysis of proposed energy efficiency measures. Specifically the energy
efficiency measures that were identified in the Level-1 audit as the most beneficial
mid-range and/or high-range potential capital improvement investments. The
financial analysis or Life Cycle Cost Analysis provides the facility owner with
comprehensive understanding of the financial benefits of implementing these
investments.
More data is collected over a longer period of time (1-4 weeks, sometimes more)
with the appropriate data logging equipment. Data collection and analysis during
this audit period is to be detailed enough and for a long enough duration so that the
assumptions used to estimate the energy use in the Level-1 Audit can be verified.
Actual supplier quotation will be sought to be used as the actual clients cost for the
investment. This will allow for an accurate calculation for the payback period and
other financial analysis for the project.
Many of the energy efficiency measures (EEMs) revealed throughout the ASHRAE
Level-2 audit can be implemented quickly with clear financial payback for the client.
There may be other energy efficiency measures (EEMs) that will need more detailed
analysis of benefits, cost and other goals which are important to the Owner; the
audit should determine next steps to accomplish this analysis and decision making.
For other EEMs that require complex interaction among building systems or
potentially large financial investments, it may be necessary to dig deeper into the
building operation as well as the human factors influencing overall performance.
This is where the ASHRAE Level-3 audit is needed.
Activities that may be undertaken for the Level-2 Audit include:

a) Instrumentation and longer term data logging of the facility (typically 1-4
weeks)
b) Up to date supplier quotation is sought to calculate investment values
c) Financial analysis and life cycle cost analysis performed as needed
d) As is technically possible, a breakdown of the energy use will be recorded

2 Schedule
A Level-1 Audits walk through survey and data collection can be performed in 1-5
business days by our team members, depending on the size and complexity of the
facility. The next step would be the data analysis and finalizing the report which
would take an additional 5-10 business days after the walk through survey. The
total project length for a Level-1 Audit should be between 3-6 weeks to account for
client feedback and input from the facility managers/users.
Depending on the results of the Level-1 Audit, it will determine the number of
Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) that will need a full detailed analysis in the
Level-2 audit. Normally there are between 1-5 EEMs that are identified in the Level1 Audit to have full detailed analysis done on.
A Level-2 Audit starts with the same walk through survey and data collection as a
Level-1 Audit to ensure that the information is still valid. Additional time will be
taken to install the data logging instruments on the relevant equipment, and this
will typically require 2-4 business days. Generally the data will be logged for at
least 1 week, and at the longest 4 weeks. Data analysis and report writing will take
between 7-20 business days after the data is collected. The total project length for
a Level-2 Audit should be between 5-12 weeks to account for client feedback and
input from the facility managers/users and selected suppliers.
This time is also
highly dependent on the number of EEMs to be analyzed.

INITIAL SITE ASSESSMENT REPORT


Magnum Caf was visited on February 8, 2015 and met with the management team
to conduct an initial site visit, in order to understand the current issues and make
preliminary suggestions. These issues and suggestions are described below.
Please note that these issues and suggestions are NOT comprehensive, but are only
meant to serve as a very quick, preliminary idea of the state of operations, the need
for a more comprehensive audit, and the possible savings that could be realized.
This initial site assessment in no way replaces a Level-1 Audit, but only serves to
orient the client and the consultant to whether or not further energy audit efforts
may be useful. It was found that indeed such efforts will be useful as was detailed
in the above proposal.
CURRENT ISSUES:
Because the location and the facilities are quite old and were not originally meant to
serve as a flagship caf, the owners are preparing a major renovation. The preplanning phase have started currently to identify a rough budget and the direction
of the design. Actual planning of the renovation is expected to start sometime in
June. As part of the renovation, an energy efficiency audit should be performed to
identify points of vulnerabilities and to make the space as energy efficient as
possible after the renovation.
After a quick walk through of the location, the following items have been identified
as obvious and major contributors to energy waste:
1. The door to the outdoor balcony consists of an ill-fitting sliding door made of
single pane glass panels
2. There is a large un-insulated skylight in the middle of the air conditioned
restaurant
3. A majority of the windows are facing Northeast and the windows are all single
pane glass
4. Air conditioning of the restaurant consists of several split units and ceiling
cassettes
5. Refrigeration and freezing of products are done with individual refrigerated
showcase units
6. Ventilation fans in the storage and kitchen area are open to the outdoor
7. Kitchen and storage area is un-insulated and does not have adequate
ventilation for cooling
PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS:
1. Create walk-in freezers and walk-in refrigerators with phase change material
thermal storage system

skype: andreosae

2. Redesign the kitchen and storage areas with wall and roof insulation along
with heat removal ventilation from the kitchen area to reduce heat loads
3. Redesign the whole restaurant cooling system to use an appropriate chiller
size, if possible with ice making capabilities and/or phase change material as
a thermal energy storage method
4. Replace side door and windows with double pane windows and insulated door
or a thermally efficient door with an air curtain device
5. Replace interior door with thermally efficient door and air curtain device
6. Insulate the skylight or if acceptable to the client, close off the skylight and
use solar light tubes instead
7. Incorporate the outdoor canopy for the balcony with solar PV panels (non
BIPV to save costs) and create a fake ceiling that is waterproof
8. Create a shade canopy on the windows to prevent too much heat from
entering
EXPECTED SAVINGS
Below are some preliminary expected savings that can be calculated prior to any
audits and measurements performed at the facilities.
Walk-in freezer vs glass display freezers
Currently there are 25 glass display freezers that are being used on site as food
storage for the restaurant. A standard sized glass display freezer with an interior
volume of 1000L uses about 5.92kWh per day for a similar size (Orford FMB20-S
Single Door Display Fridge). 25 of these freezers being used at the restaurant
means they will consume approximately 148kWh per day. This is under test
conditions, which usually does not reflect how often the doors are opened
throughout the day in a commercial setting such as a restaurant. For this reason
148kWh is likely a conservative (low) number.
A comparable sized walk in freezer (www.uscooler.com) will use about 116kWh per
day. With a difference of 30kWh per day, this is a savings of at least 22% over the
original figure of 148kWh per day.
This 22% savings is in line with a study done called ENERGY STAR Guide for
Commercial Kitchen that says the energy savings difference between a baseline
commercial freezer and a standard high efficiency unit is about 18%. A larger
difference should be realized between a stand up single door glass display freezers
and a walk in freezer in a commercial restaurant setting.
In a commercial setting where the door to the freezer is opened often, the thermal
air mass in the walk in freezer is much larger when compared with a single door
unit. The design of the walk in freezer also allows for the door to be opened often
without letting a lot of the cold air out (or warm air in). Also, the current reach-in
freezers are quite old and much less efficient than a new one.

Based on the usage pattern of the freezer (opened often during the day) and the
fact that the existing reach-in freezers are old, a larger savings than 20% can be
realized. Loss of insulation value of the insulator materials and the old seals as well
as old compressors all add up to additional losses. It is expected that a savings of
40% can likely be realized.
During the audit, the existing freezer units will be instrumented to measure the
actual energy use per day. And this value will be used as a baseline to compare
with the cost of purchasing and installing a new walk in freezer.

Air Conditioning Units


With old air conditioning units and even many new ones, the compressor is
lubricated with oils that are mixed in with the refrigerant. Over time, the oils can
build up on the inside wall of the tubing, specifically through the condenser tubing.
When this happens, the oil build-up prevents efficient heat transfer between the
refrigerant and the copper pipes.
One solution that has been used in Indonesia quite frequently and has been shown
by independent energy efficiency auditors to actually save 15-25% in energy
consumption is the use of a synthetic refrigerant catalyst. The catalyst works with
the existing refrigerant to remove the oil fouling on the copper tubing walls and to
provide more lubricity to the oil to make the compressor run more efficiently.
However, the air conditioning unit that is currently being used at the facility is quite
outdated. The COP of these AC units is between 2.8 and 3.1. New high efficiency
AC units have a COP of over 4.0. As an example, a Fujitsu ASHG12LUCA have a COP
of 4.3.
Another option beside split AC units would be to use chillers. Simple water cooled
chillers can reach a COP of over 5.0. An example would be an LG MCWW008AA11
with a COP of 5.1.

costs.
NEXT STEPS:
Further instrumented data collection is needed via a full energy audit project. This
will then provide the needed information for design and equipment replacement, in
order to realize optimal savings
