Prior to the current Department of Defense initiatives, the US government has had a policy to conserve energy in all federally-owned facilities. The goal was a 20 percent reduction in the average energy use by 1985 from the 1975 level. This paper reports that, to provide a solid analytical, engineering, and economic basis for investments, the Department of Defense (DoD) established the Energy Engineering Analysis Program (EEAP). The EEAP is used by the installations to identify and select energy saving retrofit projects. The EEAP was originally referred to as Basewide Energy Studies (BWES). The original studies were divided into four major areas of investigation: ECIP projects to retrofit existing buildings; ECIP projects to retrofit distribution systems and add EMCS; Renewable energy projects (i.e. solar and biomass); and cogeneration and solid waste plants. Later the general scope of work was expanded to include three more increments: new solid fuel boiler plants or conversions to solid fuel; low cost/no cost modifications; and justification of energy measures not meeting ECIP criteria.
