Develop an energy baseline for a 10,000 m2 K-12 school in Prince George, British Columbia. The electricity utility data and natural gas utility data and operating hours can be found here For more information on how to develop an energy baseline, review the Energy Baseline Spreadsheet provided in the related materials for Unit 2. Prepare a report in MS Word that is APA formatted and referenced and includes the following information: Time series graph(s) plotting the electricity monthly consumption, natural gas monthly consumption, CDD, and HDD. Time series graph for total energy in GJ (hint: convert electricity to GJ then add it to natural gas to calculate total energy in GJ). Scatter plots for electricity vs. cooling degree days and natural gas energy consumption vs heating degree days. Show the trendlines formulas and R2 values. Scatter plots for electricity vs. operating hours and natural gas vs. operating hours. Show the trendlines formulas and R2 values. Provide a brief evaluation of your conclusion on what is driving electricity and natural gas consumption at the Prince George school. Estimate the electricity and natural required for heating and cooling at the school. Briefly comment on what other end-uses are likely using energy at the school beyond heating and cooling. Briefly comment on the energy consumption at the school when the school is unoccupied. Calculate the Prince George schools Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and compare the school versus other K=12 schools as reported in Portfolio Manager Technical Reference: Canadian National Energy Use Intensity. Use the site EUI as a comparison, not the source EUI. Briefly comment on why the schools energy use may be higher or lower than the Canadian average. Attach the Excel spreadsheet you used to develop the baseline in your submission.
