WESTBOROUGH, Mass.,
March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- NORESCO, a national leader in energy efficiency and
infrastructure solutions, is implementing self-funding facility
improvements for the Navy Region Japan through an $86.8 million guaranteed energy savings
performance contract (ESPC). The project at Naval Air Facility
(NAF) Atsugi, Commander Fleet Activities (CFA) Sasebo and CFA
Yokosuka will strengthen energy security and enhance resiliency and
reliability in support of the United States Navy's mission.
"NORESCO is honored to help the Navy improve energy efficiency
at these mission-critical locations while both enhancing energy
supply and reducing energy use by 16 percent," said Natasha Shah, vice president, NORESCO. "The
project is one of the Navy's largest water-saving initiatives,
guaranteed to save 1.5 billion gallons over the contract term. It
will help Navy Region Japan meet federally-mandated water reduction
goals."
The scope of work includes increasing resiliency and reliability
with dual-fuel capability at the NAF Atsugi main boiler plant,
saving more than 2.1 million gallons of fuel oil annually. Chiller
operations at CFA Sasebo will become more cost effective and
reliable by replacing aging absorption chillers with new electric
chillers. Residences at all three installations will receive
upgraded LED lighting fixtures, lighting controls and plumbing
fixtures that will reduce electricity and water usage. The project
includes comprehensive maintenance, repair and replacement services
throughout the contract term, reducing maintenance burden and cost
to the site and ensuring reliable operation.
The project is a continuation of NORESCO's work with the Navy in
Japan that began in 2008 when
NORESCO completed the installation of a 39 megawatt combined heat
and power plant at CFA Yokosuka. NORESCO has helped the Navy
achieve more than $190 million in
verified cost savings in Japan
while improving infrastructure, strengthening energy security and
enhancing resiliency and reliability.
