Contracting Team
Port Hueneme, California
The ESPC Team developed and implemented
eight major projects throughout the Department Beverly Thompson, Darryl Matsui,
of the Navy at Port Hueneme. The projects
Donna Munyon, Russell Dominy
include the two largest federal photovoltaic
systems in the United States, 13 megawatts of
cogeneration and diesel generating capacity, and the Base-wide decentralization of
an antiquated steam plant. These projects are economically self-sufficient, financed
through reduced energy consumption and reduced operations costs. The ESPC Team
awarded $134 million worth of contracts during FY 2002, yielding $43.3 million in
life-cycle savings to the Navy after the financing, operations and maintenance, and
repair and replacement services are paid from total project savings. Total energy
savings for FY 2002 are 592 billion Btu and total cost savings are $18.2 million. ESPC
Team members are often invited to make presentations at national conferences, and
they are also sitting members on several
interagency boards including the DoD/DOE
ESPC Steering Committee, Federal ESPC
Measurement and Verification Working
Group, and Federal ESPC Initiative.

With utility bills exceeding $650,000 annually, the GSA Northwest/Arctic energy
team recognized that the 1970s era Edith Green/Wendell Wyatt Federal Building
needed major system repairs and improvements. Through DOE’s Super ESPC,
the regional energy team accomplished energy conservation improvements that
included installation of a new energy management and control system, variable
frequency drives, HVAC upgrades, water and sewer improvements, and building
commissioning. Through the team’s effort, the facility has achieved annual energy
savings of more than 6 billion Btu and cost savings of more than $153,000. The
water and sewer improvements will save 5,000 cubic feet of water annually. The
reduced energy consumption will eliminate 1,377 metric tons of carbon dioxide,
2.7 metric tons of sulfur dioxide, and 4.5 tons of nitrogen oxide annually.
