Fort Carson, Colorado
Fort Carson has established and maintained a
comprehensive energy management program
that emphasizes command, management,
awareness, and project implementation. With
the support of Fort Carson's Commanding
General and various working groups, the
Base was able to implement energy efficiency Col. Michael Resty, Jr., Scott Clark
projects that saved more than $1.7 million and
42 billion Btu during FY 2002. One project
involved the completion of a prototype green
building training center that features low-e ENERGY STAR® windows, high-efficiency
ENERGY STAR® furnaces, natural lighting, and LED exit signs. Other efforts included
the installation of energy-efficient lighting, roof replacements, and the use of photovoltaics
to power water pumping systems, which improves wildlife habitat and
provides water for wildland resources.

The Fermilab Industrial Building Controls
Retrofit is a cooperative solution to reduce
energy use associated with five HVAC units in Fermilab's main manufacturing facility
for cryogenic superconducting accelerator components. This project replaced outdated
pneumatic control systems with state-of-the-art direct digital controls, which are more
accurate and maintainable, and allow for more sophisticated controls strategies. The
project included new operating controls sequences for night setback of temperatures
and ventilation, optimum start/stop of systems, and carbon dioxide monitoring for
outside air control. Efforts resulted in savings of $5,000 and 402 million Btu.
