The scope of work includes implementation of a 1.5MW solar
photovoltaic (PV) carport array at the base commissary near the
base's new primary entry gate – an excellent location to showcase
the use of solar energy. NORESCO will also install chiller plant
optimization controls, replace outdated building controls with more
cyber-secure direct digital controls and upgrade nearly 30,000
light fixtures, including parking lot lights, with LEDs. Together
these energy conservation measures will improve reliability and
cost effectiveness while reducing energy consumption. The project
also includes oversight of the controls and maintenance of the PV
array throughout the contract term, reducing the maintenance burden
and helping to ensure reliable operation.
"We are honored to be working with the Air Force in helping
support its mission by improving resiliency, upgrading facility
infrastructure and reducing energy consumption, while delivering
renewable energy and cyber-secure solutions," said Natasha Shah, vice president federal business
development, NORESCO. "NORESCO has implemented 22 ESPC projects
with the Air Force, starting with our first Air Force project
completed in 1998."
