Optimizing Operational Efficiency: Integrating Energy Information Systems and Model-Based Diagnostics

Abstract

This report documents findings from a demonstration project to verify the feasibility of employing a model-based approach to central plant operation and diagnostics at DoD facilities, and to quantify the associated benefits. Specific objectives that the field demonstration was designed to validated included: effectiveness in reducing electricity consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions; user satisfaction; cost effectiveness and viability of system economics; and validity of model calibration. The development and design of the technology is described, as well as its demonstration at the US Naval Academy.
