Demand-side management implementation and verification at Fort Drum, New York
Through the Facility Energy Decision Screening (FEDS) process, the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) has identified present value savings of nearly $47 million in cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs) at Fort Drum, New York. With associated costs of more than $16 million (1992 $), the measures provide a net present value of $30.6 million for all identified projects. By implementing all cost-effective ECMs, Fort Drum can reduce its annual energy use by more than 230,000 MBtu (11% of its fossil energy consumption) and more than 27,000 MWh (32% of its electric energy consumption). The annual cost of energy services will decrease by $2.8 million (20%) at current energy rates. The servicing utility (Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation) has informally agreed to finance and implement cost-effective ECMs and to participate in the verification of energy savings. Verification baselining is under way; implementation of retrofit projects is expected to begin in late 1994. The utility-administered financing and contracting arrangements and the alternative federal programs for implementing the projects are described. The verification protocols and sampling plans for audit, indirect, and direct measurement levels of verification and the responsibilities of Fort Drum, the utility, the energy service companies (ESCos), and Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) in the verification process are also presented. A preliminary weather-normalized model of baseline energy consumption has been developed based on a full year`s metered data.
