Energy Optimization Audit at Humphreys Engineer Center
Abstract
This work conducted an Energy Optimization Assessment at the Humphreys Engineer Center, Alexandria, VA, to identify energy inefficiencies and wastes, and to propose energy-related projects that could enable the installation to better meet the energy reduction requirements mandated by Executive Order 13123, the Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 2005, and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA)of 2007. The study was conducted by a professional Energy Team,composed of researchers from the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) and other subject matter experts. The Assessment included a Level I study of the installation administrative buildings, and an analysis of their building envelopes, ventilation air systems, and lighting. The study identified 31 different energy conservation measures (ECMs), including measures related to the building envelope, lighting, HVAC and electrical systems that, if implemented, would reduce Humphreys Engineer Center annual energy use by up to 14,500 MMBtu/yr and 2,300 MWh/yr (depending on the combination of ECMs implemented). Eighteen of the proposed energy conservation measures were quantified economically and have a potential of annual saving of more than $200,000.
