Goldsboro, North Carolina
Seymour Johnson AFB Combats Infrastructure & Energy Conservation Needs Through Performance Contracting
THE OPPORTUNITY
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, a critical wing of the US Air Combat Command, needed significant ground support in overcoming severely degraded facility HVAC assets and centralized steam systems. In addition, they were challenged to reduce energy consumption on the base by 35% and needed a trusted partner to lead these challenges without effecting existing budgets or impacting operations of the base.
THE RESULTS
Energy Systems Group designed and implemented several innovative solutions utilizing a Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) in partnership with the local electric provider that combines leading technology to significantly improve energy efficiency for the base. In coordination with the base leadership, ESG constructed and delivered an energy strategy to rejuvenate base facilities and infrastructure which benefits Seymour Johnson AFB operations through:
- Increased Indoor Air Quality For Base
- Reduced Energy and Operation Cost to Fund Existing Base Mission
- Advanced, Environmentally Friendly Day-lighting Solutions
- Financing Package That Pays For The Program Using Energy Cost Savings
As an added benefit, Energy Systems Group was able to help Seymour Johnson AFB enhance the base energy security by:
- Decentralizing Existing Steam Supply and Using High-Efficiency Infra-Red Heating, Low Pressure Unit Steam and Small Scale Hot Water to Meet Current and Future Heating Needs at The Lowest Possible Energy and Operational Cost
