More Federal Projects & Military Installations

Energy Saving Performance Contracts at military installations have a common theme; reduce operating costs and improve resiliency without impacting the mission of the base.

The energy efficiency element of the projects frequently included upgrading old boiler plants and chiller plants, improving or installing digital mechanical system controls, installing energy efficient lighting and controls, and improving the operations of specialty buildings such as dining facilities, social clubs, aircraft hangars, research facilities and electronic command and control centers.

However, another important element of the energy projects was resolving many deferred maintenance issues regarding end of equipment life.  Frequently, facilities can budget for repairs much faster that for equipment replacement.  The result is, many air conditioners, air handling units, boilers, pumps and fans have been patched up to enable them to operate well beyond their expected life.  While they are still operating, they are operating in a very inefficient manner and the cost of repeated repairs over time is more than the cost of replacement.

Prior to founding EE&D, Mr. Ward worked for an Energy Services Company (ESCO) developing Energy Savings Performance Contract projects (ESPCs) for Federal installations.  These projects included:

  • Tyndall AFB, Florida
    $13.8MM
  • Maxwell AFB, Alabama
    $9.0MM
  • Eglin AFB, Florida
    $20.0MM
  • Westover ARB, Massachusetts
    $4.5MM
  • Minot AFB, North Dakota
    $6.0MM
  • DeCA, Ft. Lee, Virginia
    $0.8MM
  • Pantex DOE Site, Texas
    $16.1MM
  • JFK Library, Massachusetts
    $9.0MM
