Abstract

In terms of energy consumption, the Soo Area Office, Sault Ste. Marie, MI is the largest facility under US Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District oversight. The entire facility at St. Mary's Falls Canal is operated and maintained by the Detroit District, under the supervision of the Soo Area Engineer. Energy supply for the facility is unique because the US Hydroelectric Power Plant is located just north of the locks. The installation consumes about 3{percent} of the energy from the plant. Natural gas provides most of the space heating requirements via cast-iron sectional hot water generators in the larger buildings, unit heaters in small buildings, and fire-tube steam boilers in the steam plant. The US Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District requested the US Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) to assess potential energy efficiency improvements at the Soo Area Office. This study evaluated the facility for energy efficiency and recommended improvements in energy efficient operations.

Reconnaissance report for hydropower redevelopment at Salt Ste. Marie, Michigan

Technical Report

This report document reconnaissance stage investigations completed by the Corps of Engineers on the feasibility of hydropower facilities redevelopment at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. While continued growth in demand for energy in the Michigan Upper Peninsula is anticipated, existing hydropower capacity has been unable to keep pace with current demand. In addition, a new Canadian hydropower plant is scheduled to go on line in 1982. At that time, water which the United States has traditionally used will be reduced. This reduction in available water will result in lower energy production, and in a further widening of the gap between hydroelectricmore »« less
Sault Tribe Building Efficiency Audits of Tribally-Owned Governmental Buildings and Residential Tribal Housing

Technical Report Holt, Jeffrey

The Tribe is working to reduce energy consumption and expense in Tribally-owned governmental buildings and low income housing sites. In 2009, the Tribe applied to the U. S. Department of Energy for funding to conduct energy audits of Tribally-owned governmental buildings. Findings from the energy audits would define the extent and types of energy efficiency improvements needed, establish a basis for energy priorities, strategies and action plans, and provide a benchmark for measuring improvements from energy efficiency implementations. In 2010, the DOE awarded a grant in the amount of $95,238 to the Tribe to fund the energy audits of ninemore »« less
