Energy Self-Sufficiency for Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) Bases: An Initial Investigation.

Abstract

To obtain Energy Self-Sufficiency for Air Logistics Centers by the year 2000, has been a stated goal since 1978. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a working definition of Energy Self-Sufficiency; to develop a statistical model for forecasting aggregate energy demand for the Air Logistics Centers; and to research some possible unconventional technologies which may assist in attaining the Energy Self-Sufficiency goal. This research revealed that the goal is rather limited and should be attainable based on the definition provided; aggregate energy demand for the Air Logistics Centers can be predicted by estimating heating and cooling degree days; and waste to energy conversion processes and solar technologies offer some potential for attaining the overall goal.
