"I’m very happy with the contracting effort I’ve seen in the GHP project.… About half of the work on base is done by contractors and they are the best I’ve dealt with."

Marine Base Increases Efficiency and Reduces Costs Through Innovative Performance Contracting Program
THE OPPORTUNITY
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, "Home of Expeditionary Forces in Readiness" needed a way of reducing energy costs and increasing control over their facilities energy use without impacting existing budgets and effecting operations on the base.
THE RESULTS
Energy Systems Group proposed and implemented a unique and cutting edge solution that leveraged technology and information to dramatically improve the energy security for the entire base. In partnership with the base leadership, ESG developed a two pronged approach to meeting the base’s energy efficiency needs. The initial approach retrofit lighting and mechanical systems for more than 6 million square feet of facilities and installed Ground Coupled Heat Pumps (GCHP) to base housing units. The second stage implemented a base-wide energy management system, SiteNetTM Command Center. This $20+ million partnership benefits Camp Lejeune through:
- Financing Package That Pays For The Project Using Energy Cost Savings
- Reduced Energy and Operation Costs to Fund Existing Base Mission
- Improved Energy Security and Efficiency for the Base
- Increased Control and Reduced Costs of Energy Use At Base Facilities Using the Web-Based SiteNetTM Command Center
As an added benefit, ESG helped Camp Lejeune plan and meet for the bases future by:
- Leveraging SiteNetTM To Enable the Base Use Real-Time-Pricing to Reduce
