Energy Assessment at Army Installations: Chievres Airbase Belgium, Schinnen Emma Mine Netherlands, and Brussels American School
Abstract
An Energy Optimization Assessment was conducted at Chievres Airbase Belgium, Schinnen Emma Mine Netherlands, and Brussels American School Belgium, as a part of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) initiative to identify energy inefficiencies and wastes and to propose energy-related projects with applicable funding and execution methods that could enable the installation to better meet the requirements of Executive Order 13123 and the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) 2005. The scope of the Annex 46 Energy Optimization Assessment included a Level I study of the central energy plants and associated steam distribution systems providing heat to representative administrative buildings, laundry, dining facilities, and other buildings as well as an analysis of their building envelopes, ventilation air systems, and lighting. The study identified 34 different energy conservation measures (ECMs). Thirty of those ECMs, which were studied in enough detail to estimate costs and savings, would reduce USAG Chievres, Schinnen Emma Mine, and Brussels American School's annual energy use by up to 4,827MMBtu/yr of thermal energy and 570,092 kWh/yr for a total savings of C234K. Other ECMs that require more detailed study could save considerably more.
