28 Alternative Financing Awards to Individuals Roosevelt Allen United States Postal Service Memphis, Tennessee Roosevelt Allen of the United States Postal Service Southeast Area has developed an aggressive five-year energy plan to improve energy efficiency at 3,700 Postal Service facilities. Through Mr. Allen’s leadership, an energy profile system was developed to rank the 3,700 Postal facilities in the Area based on energy savings Roosevelt Allen opportunities. Based on the ranking, the Area can allocate resources that range from energy awareness efforts to capital improvement to provide the best return on investment while accomplishing energy conservation objectives. Mr. Allen was instrumental in conducting comprehensive energy audits at these facilities using a priority scheme based on energy savings potential. He also developed a checklist of solution-based approaches for implementing retrofit projects at facilities of less than 5,000 square feet, resulting in $25 million of retrofit projects and a total annual savings of $4 million. For larger facilities, Mr. Allen worked with several energy service companies to award shared energy savings contracts. He is currently managing eight such contracts with a total contract value of $25 million. In addition, Mr. Allen organized an employee awareness campaign and has written several articles about energy and environmental issues in area publications to further promote energy awareness to the 90,000 employees in the Southeast Area. Alternative Financing Awards to Individuals Captain Harry Jackson United States Air Force Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas Captain Harry Jackson, Deputy Chief of the 47th Civil Engineer Operations Flight at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, rejuvenated the Base energy savings performance contract program to positively impact more than 4,000 active duty members, civilian employees, contractors, and Base residents. Through the Air Force Region 6 ESPC, Captain Jackson garnered Captain Henry Jackson more than $380,000 in utility rebates to finance lighting retrofits in 37 facilities; replace two air conditioning system water chillers; and install two thermal storage systems -- an 800 ton-hour ice system and a 3,150 ton-hour chilled water tank. Captain Jackson also educated senior leaders, squadron commanders, and the Base populous about energy and water conservation by organizing the Base Energy Steering Group, and through briefings at commander’s calls, news articles, and his day-to-day contacts on and off Base. FY 2002 savings exceed $238,000 and 10 billion Btu.
Renewable Energy Awards to Organizations Department of the Navy Navy Public Works Center San Diego, California In this ground-breaking project, the Navy Region Southwest, in partnership with the Navy Public Works Center, San Diego, demonstrated the successful implementation of a large-scale renewable energy system using alternative financing. The 750-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system installed at the Naval Base Coronado is one of the largest PV systems installed by the federal government, and is among one of the Joyce Ferrenburg, Wade Wilhelm largest PV systems in the world. Consisting of 3,078 modules with more than 664,000 semicrystalline silicon solar cells, the Base’s PV system delivers solar electricity to the Navy electric grid while providing a covered carport structure for more than 400 vehicles. Designed and installed using Super ESPC financing, the solar electric system is expected to produce 1.2 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year and save the Base $228,00 annually in electricity and demand charge expenses. Utility- and state-incentive funds and the Department of Defense’s commitment to green power together resulted in a system that will provide about 3 percent of the Naval Base’s peak electrical demand during summer months. By replacing fossil-fuel-generated electricity with solar power, the Navy’s PV system is expected to yield an annual energy savings of 4.0 billion Btu. Renewable Energy Awards to Organizations U.S. National Park Service Mojave National Preserve Barstow, California The harsh rugged beauty of California’s Mojave National Preserve is the setting for this renewable energy project for the Preserve’s Hole-In-The-Wall Wildland Fire Center. Up to 16 firefighters and crew are stationed at the Center’s remote (4,500 foot elevation) location to respond to emergencies in the Preserve’s vast 1.5 million acres of land. Drawing upon the area’s abundant sunlight and a desire to protect the natural quiet of the desert, the National Park Service mobilized to replace the Center’s outdated modular facility that relied on diesel power. The newly–constructed fire center and dormitory is a highly functional, energy- Mary Martin, Sean McGuinness efficient, and cost effective structure that harmoniously blends into the desert landscape. The facility features an 11 kilowatt hybrid system with 85 thin flexible photovoltaic panels placed on the Center’s roof, eliminating the expense of a solar panel array frame. Insulation under the roof serves as an energy-efficient environment for the thermostatically controlled evaporative coolers located in the attic. Throughout the buildings, energy-efficient windows reduce the facility’s energy use. In interior spaces without windows, solar light tubes practically eliminate the need for electrical lighting during the day. A solar-powered radiant floor heating system prevents the water lines in the fire engine bays from freezing. During FY 2002, this impressive facility achieved an energy savings of 624 million Btu and a cost savings of more than $16,000. 29
