Navy Public Works Center
Recognized for its "Compressed Air Energy Retrofit Program" completed in 2003, which has yielded substantial electrical demand and consumption reductions, improved the quality and reliability of central compressed air services to the fleet and reduced production cost. The program was created by the Navy Public Works Center in San Diego in partnership with the Navy Region Southwest Energy Team and was designed as an energy efficiency strategy for four Navy and Marine Corps bases in San Diego. The program allowed the Navy Public Works Center to achieve a 1.6 megawatts reduction in peak demand, reduce its electrical consumption by 5.6 kilowatt-hours per year and reduce compressed air production costs by $560,000 annually.
