Case study describes how the Army Reserve 63d Regional Support Command (RSC) achieved 85% energy savings and $4,000 per year in cost savings by replacing 12 old light fixtures with light-emitting diode fixtures in the military equipment parking area. This project was part of a camp-wide parking lighting retrofit which, on average, delivered 78% energy savings and a simple payback of 4.4 years.
Case study describes how Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base replaced high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures in one parking lot with high-efficiency induction fixtures for 91% savings in energy use and $5,700 in cost savings annually. This parking lot is estimated to have a simple payback of 2.9 years. Sitewide up-grades yielded annual savings of 1 million kWh.
With more than 350,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles, the federal government is America’s largest single energy consumer. There is a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to lead by example in cutting energy waste and advancing America’s clean energy future. The progress the federal government has made to date, through public-private partnerships and successful approaches, should be leveraged to show leadership to the nation and continue to make significant contributions to our national energy and environmental goals.
This document provides guidance for retrofitting existing fluorescent troffers including the LED and associated control options available, the pro/cons and costs/benefits of each option, and agency specific requirements (where applicable).
Presentation describes how to build an energy-efficient data center on research facility campuses.
Presentation describes liquid cooling in data centers on facility campuses.
Federal agencies have a long history of using solar photovoltaics and battery storage (PV plus storage) systems at remote sites where the technologies can offset costly diesel fuel. However, recent declines in lithium-ion battery costs, along with changes in net metering policies and utility rate structures, are opening up opportunities for PV plus storage to be deployed cost-effectively at grid-connected sites.
Fact sheet estimates the value of PV plus storage and discusses sizing and dispatching it for federal site managers.
Presentation describing how to prepare for optimal performance for the life of the energy conservation measures.
The Federal Energy Management Program provided technical support to the National Park Service (NPS) for a selected number of renewable energy projects at national park sites across the United States.
This fact sheet provides an overview of the upcoming additions to these design specifications.
