Joseph Jackson, Robert Lawrence Progressive <strong>Energy</strong>. Although work did not<br />
beg<strong>in</strong> until mid-year and was not completed<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g FY 2002, the project realized a 5.8 billion<br />
Btu reduction <strong>in</strong> energy consumption (nearly an<br />
8 percent reduction) and more than $83,000 <strong>in</strong> cost sav<strong>in</strong>gs compared to 2001. After<br />
project completion, the total sav<strong>in</strong>gs are estimated to be 51.3 billion Btu and more<br />
than $918,000 annually. The reduced energy consumption will elim<strong>in</strong>ate 1,539<br />
metric tons <strong>of</strong> carbon dioxide annually.<br />

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric<br />
Adm<strong>in</strong>istration awarded a utility energy<br />
services contract for its Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory <strong>in</strong><br />
Miami, Florida. The project upgraded the build<strong>in</strong>g light<strong>in</strong>g system, replaced HVAC<br />
controls, and <strong>in</strong>stalled a thermal energy storage system to shift some <strong>of</strong> the HVAC<br />
load to <strong>of</strong>f-peak hours. These energy conservation measures reduced the electric<br />
demand by 117 million Btu (39 percent) while mak<strong>in</strong>g badly needed improvements<br />
<strong>in</strong> the build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>frastructure. Annual energy and operations and ma<strong>in</strong>tenance<br />
sav<strong>in</strong>gs resulted <strong>in</strong> almost $46,000.
