July 18, 2005—The US Army’s Fort Irwin, located in California, recently awarded Johnson Controls Government Systems, LLC. one of the first new federal Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) since Congressional reauthorization of the program after a yearlong lapse in 2004, the company announced.
The project will save Fort Irwin $27 million in energy and water related costs during the 20-year term of the contract, according to Johnson Controls.
Under the ESPC, Johnson Controls will make $9.4 million in facility improvements for the military base, providing equipment that delivers technologically innovative solutions for energy and water management. In addition to energy efficiency, the equipment will also provide a sense of reliability and comfort in the soldiers’ work environment.
Improvements include 28 new boilers to replace thirteen high pressure, inefficient, and obsolete pieces of equipment; two new chillers to replace old and inefficient models; energy efficient and improved lighting conditions in 57 buildings; lighting controls for 270 vending machines; and water conservation measures at 193 buildings.
