Beaufort, South Carol<strong>in</strong>a<br />
The <strong>in</strong>stallation at this facility <strong>of</strong> an energy<br />
management and control system is sav<strong>in</strong>g more<br />
than 34,000 MBTU, or 9,961,910 kWh, annually.<br />
The system controls heat<strong>in</strong>g, cool<strong>in</strong>g, and light<strong>in</strong>g<br />
as well as manag<strong>in</strong>g peak loads. This project started<br />
a cha<strong>in</strong> reaction; Air Force and Navy bases are<br />
work<strong>in</strong>g to implement the same systems.<br />

Build<strong>in</strong>g 1579<br />
Twentyn<strong>in</strong>e Palms, California<br />
This base <strong>in</strong>stalled the largest co-generation plant<br />
<strong>in</strong> the United States <strong>in</strong> an effort to combat the<br />
California energy crisis. The 7 MW comb<strong>in</strong>ed heat<br />
and power plant can provide un<strong>in</strong>terrupted power<br />
for critical base loads <strong>in</strong> the event <strong>of</strong> any utility<br />
<strong>in</strong>terruption. The plant can also isolate critical<br />
loads, even when power from the utility is available.<br />
The project was f<strong>in</strong>anced through an energy sav<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
performance contract and will reduce electricity<br />
purchases by nearly two-thirds, sav<strong>in</strong>g $5.8 million<br />
<strong>in</strong> annual energy costs.<br />
