- RESOURCE EFFICIENCY MANAGER AT NAVAL AIR STATION LEMOORE

## Naval Air Station Lemoore

- Navy’s Newest and Largest Master Jet Air Station
- Houses F/A-18 Hornet Strike Fighter and the Newer F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets
- Encompasses 30,000 acres
- Almost 300 major structures
- 3.3 million sq.ft. of facilities
- 2 million sq.ft. of residential units

## REM Needed Because:

- Executive Order 13123.
- Energy/water conservation program was a collateral duty for the APWO.
- Most knowledgeable resource was retiring after 30 years.
- Electricity demand ceiling was breached.
- Aging energy-related infrastructure.
- California Energy Crisis.

**Notes:**
Exec Order 13123 mandates that bases reduce energy use by 35% 
from the FY 1985 baseline by the year 2010.

## Could a REM be Self-Funding?

- Electricity:  ~$0.035/kW-hr
- Natural Gas ~ similar to other areas in CA
- Water ~ $1.20/1000 gallon
- Sewer ~ $0.25/1000 gallons

- Annual utility costs do exceed $5M
- BUT
- Utility rates are very low

## REM Focus Area

- Energy Program Support
- Energy and Water Conservation Projects
-  No Cost, Low Cost Measures
-  Alternatively-Financed Projects
- Awareness Activities

## No-Cost, Low-Cost Savings

- Metering Errors - $300,000
- Computer Awareness Shutdown - $150,000
- Tenant Rate Re-evaluation - $145,000
- BQ and Hangar Hibernation - $120,000
- Earlier Seasonal Boiler Shutdown - $50,000
- Secure lights, secure refrigerators, reset thermostats, etc.  - $128,000
**Annual No-Cost, Low-Cost Savings **
**                        **_**$903,000**_

## Alternatively Financed Projects

- FY 2002 UESC Project
