Energy Reduction Strategies for Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton: Assessment and Recommendations Professional Report

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to identify actions to reduce the energy consumption of existing buildings at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California and to provide recommendations for the implementation of these actions. The assessment begins with a baseline assessment of current electrical and natural gas consumption. Energy conservation and efficiency projects are explored to identify economic approaches to minimizing Base energy demand. Renewable energy technologies are then examined for their potential for energy reduction. This assessment leads to recommendations for further energy conservation, energy efficiency measures, and renewable energy reduction projects. The assessment is designed to give MCB Camp Pendleton decision makers a clear understanding of the opportunities for energy reduction projects and the steps needed to possibly implement them. Ultimately, the detailed process in this report should lead to minimized energy demand and to the ability of Base to achieve the maximum leverage of local renewable energy resources.
