Abstract
Fort Hood has selected an Energy Services
Performance Contract (ESPC) contractor to help
achieve its energy reduction goals as mandated by
Executive Order. This ESPC is expected to be a $3.8
million, 20 year contract, which includes five primary
types of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in
56 buildings, and includes boiler insulation, control
system upgrades, vending machine controls, cooling
tower variable frequency drives (VFDs), and lighting
retrofits. The plan of action for the ESPC includes
cost effective M&V, using IPMVP Options B and C
for the first two years after the retrofits are installed,
and Option A combined with annual performance
verification for the remainder of the contract. This
paper discusses the development the Measurement
and Verification (M&V) Plan for the Fort Hood
Energy Services Performance Contract, and includes
results of the baseline calculations (Haberl et al.
2002, 2003b).
