Energy and Process Optimization Assessment, Fort Stewart, GA
Abstract
An Energy and Process Optimization Assessment (EPOA) was conducted at Fort Stewart, GA (FSG) to identify energy, process, and environmental opportunities that could significantly improve the installation s mission readiness and competitive position. The study was targeted at creating a holistic approach to energy optimization in both non-industrial and industrial facilities and included measures related to industrial processes, building envelope, and energy and mechanical systems. A team of researchers and expert consultants performed a Level I EPOA for 2 weeks beginning 18 July 2005. The scope of the EPOA included: the central energy plants at both Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, several industrial and non-industrial buildings, and an analysis of their building envelopes, ventilation, compressed air systems, lighting, and individual steam boilers. The study identified 42 energy conservation measures (ECMs); 22 of these were quantified economically. Implementing the 22 ECMs will re-duce FSG energy and operating costs by approximately $1.89M, will yield an average simple payback of 5.3 years (64 months), and will improve the work environment.
