Aquatic Center Energy Audit

The City of Unalaska is seeking proposals from qualified firms to perform a comprehensive

energy audit of the Unalaska Aquatic Center. The goal of this audit is to identify opportunities to

improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and extend the life of facility systems.

Facility Overview

The Aquatic Center was originally constructed in 1981 and renovated in 2006 and 2016. The

facility includes a natatorium with a 25-yard, six-lane lap pool, warming alcove, open flume

slide, and dry sauna.

Mechanical systems include an HVAC system and a pump room with an onsite chlorine

generator, UV system, sand and gravel filters, chemical controls, and three primary pumps

serving the pool, alcove, and slide.

Additional mezzanine-level spaces include the HVAC fan room, boiler room, and server room.

• Develop recommendations for energy conservation measures (ECMs).

• Provide estimated implementation costs, projected energy savings, and return on

investment (ROI) for recommended improvements.

Recommendations should be prioritized based on cost-effectiveness, feasibility and overall

impact.

Deliverables

improvements, estimated costs, projected energy savings, and implementation priorities.
