How One Air Force Base Is Saving 5.5 Million kWh

摘要

An energy savings performance contract is helping the Los Angeles Air Force Base cut its energy use by 17%, saving roughly $800,000 a year. The 23-year contract includes an $11 million modernization project guaranteed to generate enough energy savings to pay for the work, which means the Air Force won't have to provide an initial capital investment. Based in El Segundo, CA, the campus serves nearly 5,000 military personnel and houses the headquarters of the Space and Missile Systems Center, part of the Air Force Space Command. This project covers 31 base buildings between Los Angeles AFB and Fort MacArthur, a group of housing and administrative facilities about 20 miles from the base.
