Ultra-Low Loss Transformers: Hidden Savings *Attend In-Person

Transformers are a critical part of every building’s electrical infrastructure — and they operate continuously, even when the lights are off. This training explores how aging and standard-efficiency dry-type transformers create parasitic losses that increase both energy consumption and peak demand.

The training will be held at the Hawai‘i Energy Training Room (45 N. King St. Suite #500, Honolulu HI 96817). The training will be also offered remotely via Microsoft Teams. LUNCH and parking will be provided.

We’ll examine how ultra-low loss transformers exceed DOE 2016 standards, reduce no-load losses by 80%+ (pre-2007 units), and deliver permanent, verifiable kW and kWh savings. The session also covers measurement & verification (M&V), rebate opportunities, and retrofit best practices.

Who Should Attend?

• Facility managers and building owners
• Energy managers and sustainability professionals
• Electrical engineers and consultants
• ESCOs and performance contractors
• Anyone involved in commercial energy efficiency upgrades

What You'll Learn

• Why parasitic losses like transformers represent 1–5% of total building energy use
• How DOE 2007 and DOE 2016 standards changed transformer efficiency
• Why real-world transformer loading is often far below design assumptions
• How ultra-low loss transformers reduce core losses and peak demand
• Typical ROI and incentive opportunities
• Measurement & verification best practices for documenting savings
• How transformer retrofits compare to lighting upgrades in impact
