 | Fort Bragg, NC contains many buildings serviced by systems and utilities that have not been modified and upgraded over the years. Some central energy plants and distribution systems (hot water, chilled water, and steam) are now nearing the end of their useful life. Although the number of new construction (under MILCON Transformation) and retrofit projects is growing, no overall strategy or central master plan exists for the installation's heating and ... |

| Army Installations often expand their use of digital control systems for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning and other mechanical and electrical building systems on a building-by-building basis. Associated control systems are installed under separate contracts by different contractors resulting in intra-system incompatibilities. The implementation of multi-vendor Open Building Automation Systems (BASs) is meant to overcome such incompatibilities; however BASs can present their own technical and administrative (including contractual) challenges. This ... |

|
| This work assessed the potential for development of a building automation system (BAS) specification (for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, etc.) based on the BACnet communications protocol. Although BACnet is widely supported, no building automation system (BAS) specification exists that implements BACnet as an Open System. The BACnet protocol is detailed, includes comprehensive requirements, and also provides options in how individual vendors might choose to implement it. Such vendor-specific ... |

| Fuel cells are an environmentally clean, quiet, and a highly efficient method for generating electricity and heat from natural gas and other fuels. In fiscal year 1993 (FY93), the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) was assigned the mission of managing the DOD Fuel Cell Demonstration Program. Specific tasks included developing turnkey PAFC packages, devising site criteria, screening candidate DOD installation sites based on selection criteria, ... |
