Technical Guidelines for Energy Conservation.

Abstract

This report provides detailed technical material on various energy conservation actions for existing Air Force facilities and utility systems. It is specifically tailored to serve as a working document for Base engineers and technical personnel. The report covers energy conservation for Air Force facilities, including the equipment for providing hot water, space heating and cooling, lighting, and humidification. It also covers central plant systems and underground distribution systems (hot water, steam, and chilled water). This volume includes the following topics: Energy Conservation Measures for Exterior Building Envelopes; Modifying Mechanical Systems and Operating Practices for Energy Conservation; Conducting the Building Survey; Measurements for identifying Energy Conservation Potential; Economic Analysis; and Appendices--Heat transfer fundamentals, Solar energy systems for Air Force applications, Heat and Chilled water distribution systems, and Survey of computer programs for evaluating building and system performance.
