Energy Project RFP Alert - US MD - Department Of The Army Bid - Install Solar Walls Heating Systems

Alert Type:
Bid

Description:
The project, located at the Letterkenny Army Depot, PA, is to design and construct to retrofit six existing buildings with transpired solar collectors on the exterior walls. Transpired Solar Collectors will be required to have a minimum efficiency of 35 percent when tested in accordance with CSA standard F378.2-11 with the following test criteria: Solar insolation value of 900 W/m2, High Wind Speed (approximately 3.4 m/s), and minimum Airflow rate of 2.1 cfm /ft2. Additionally, the project consists of installing fans and ductwork that effectively integrate into the existing heating systems in these buildings. Sources interested in this announcement shall provide past experience to demonstrate having knowledge and experience to design (as applicable) and retrofit existing buildings with transpired solar collectors to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and save on energy costs. The project includes renovations to existing buildings in order to efficiently distribute the heated air behind the collectors. This energy-renewable project is required to reduce excessive energy waste and help achieve the Army's 2009 Strategic Energy Security Goals. Therefore, the project will require a measurement and verification (M&V) plan and system to include installation of meters, sensors, software, hardware, etc. necessary to verify and quantify energy savings due to solar heating, recovery of heat loss from walls, and energy savings due to de-stratification. The system will also have to provide continuous monitoring and provide the amount of energy savings calculated hourly, daily, monthly and yearly with readouts in MMbtu saved. Full design drawings will not be required; manufacturer shop drawings will be acceptable as long as they are sealed by a structural engineer for installation and contain enough information to construct the project.
