10. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Various energy conservation projects including insulation, weatherstripping, window/door alterations, load attentuation, automatic controls, energy monitoring and control systems, improvement and/or replacement of inefficient mechanical, electrical and heating systems, economizers, solid waste heat recovery systems and automation of coal plants 11. REQUIREMENT: PROJECT: Construction and corrective measures at various installations to effect energy conservation. REQUIREMENT: This work is required to reduce energy consumption and ease the adverse impact of the energy crisis. The continuing energy shortage and need to reduce costs make conservation measures of paramount importance. Various modifications to facilities and electro-mechanical systems will be made. Scopes of work at individual installations vary and are based on the least costly means for maximum reduction of energy use. Environmental protective measures are included. CURRENT SITUATION: Energy is being used inefficiently because of original facilities design, present operating conditions, technical obsolesence and age. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Army installations will continue to use energy at less than optimum rates and the goal of reducing energy consumption will not be realized. DD DEC 90-267 O-82--11 This project is required to conserve fuel oil by installation MAY This project is required to conserve coal and fuel oil by The 1,850 Baumholder (PN 86) Temperature Controls This project is required to conserve coal and fuel oil by 1,250 1,850 This project is required to conserve coal and fuel oil by installing 861,120 square feet of batt insulation in ceilings and replacing 3,323 manual valves with thermostatic radiator valves in 90 buildings at Wildflecken Training Area. The estimated first year savings is $788,000. The amortization period is 2.3 years. The estimted MBTJ energy savings per year per thousand dollars project cost ratio is 44. This project is required to conserve fuel oil, coal, and Bad Kissingen Automatic Boiler Plant 1,650 (PN 710) This project is required to conserve fuel oil, coal and manpower at Daley Barracks (Bldg 8) by replacing eleven existing hand fired coal boilers and one existing curb-side oil boiler with six new, coal fired boilers equipped with automatic coal feed and ash removal systems, and piping. Electrical and structural modifications will be made to accommodate the new installation. The heating plant in Building 8 is more than 40 years old and has become very inefficient and can no longer meet the requirements without supplemental heat from the curb side oil boiler. Reduction in manpower requirements will also be realized. The estimated first year savings is $392,000. The amortization period is 4.2 years. The estimated MBT energy savings per year per thousand dollars project cost ratio is 39. |
