Applying Energy Conservation Retrofits to Standard Army Buildings: Project Design and Initial Energy Data

Authors: Eileen T. Westervelt; G. R. Northrup; Edward O. Allen; CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING RESEARCH LAB (ARMY) CHAMPAIGN IL
Abstract:
This report describes the initial and continuing efforts in a project demonstrating the energy performance of theoretically-based retrofit packages on as-found, standard-design Army buildings. Four standard building designs are being investigated: a motor vehicle repair shop, the Type 64 (L-shaped) barracks, an enlisted personnel mess hall, and a two-company, rolling-pin-shaped barracks for enlisted personnel. The Army has over 840 of these particular buildings. The objective of the project is to test the energy and cost performance of the retrofit packages, which include such measures as installing wall or ceiling insulation, replacing and/or blocking windows, partitioning areas of differing temperature, modifying air handling equipment, modifying boiler controls, replacing lights, etc. To this end, energy data has been gathered from retrofitted and identical but nonretrofitted buildings for a test/ reference comparison.
