THE OPPORTUNITY
The engineering staff at Shaw Air Force Base wanted to take a leadership role in energy conservation for base facilities. They were looking for a partner that could deliver energy reductions and operations improvements to over 158 building and more than 1.9 million square feet of facilities without impacting existing budgets and base operation during these critical times.

THE RESULTS
Energy Systems Group designed and implemented an innovative solution that leveraged technology and a proven track record of performance to dramatically improve energy selfsufficiency for the base. In coordination with the base leadership, ESG crafted an energy strategy utilizing the Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) in partnership with the local electric provider to install energy efficiency upgrades to base facilities and infrastructure which included lighting improvements, HVAC enhancements, steam system and boiler upgrades. This $5 million program and efficiency strategy benefits Shaw AFB through :

• Financed Package That Pays For The Project Using Energy Cost Savings
• Improved Energy Security and Efficiency for the Base
• Reduced Energy and Operation Costs to Fund Existing Base Mission
• Comprehensive Energy Strategy That Identifies and Addresses Future Base Energy and Equipment Needs

As an added benefit, ESG’s program helped Shaw AFB to:

• Leverage Energy Efficiency to Reduce Environmental Emissions and Increase Air Quality For the Base Without Spending Any Added Funds
