Project Description
CASE STUDY: Powersmiths Transformers Contribute to 90% Reduction in Transformer Energy Losses for U.S. Department of Defense through ESCO Partnership
U.S. Federal – Department of Defense (DoD) Building
South Carolina, USA
South Carolina, USA
Project Drivers:
- Executive Order 13423/EISA: Reduce energy intensity by 30% by 2015
- Executive Order 13423: Reduce GHG emissions by 28% by 2020
- No capital investment by DoD with verified savings
- Work completed as part of an Energy Savings Performance Contract
Project Summary:
Transformer Retrofit & Energy Savings Verification
- Baseline measurements of energy losses from 12 existing transformers
- 12 Powersmiths E-Saver low-voltage dry-type transformers replaced the 12 inefficient existing transformers
- Post-install energy savings verified by Powersmiths professional metering services in an ISO17025 Certified Lab
Energy Savings Overview:
- The average baseline energy losses were reduced by 90%
- Lifecycle Energy Savings: 6,720,960 kWh
- Overall GHG Emissions Reduction by 2020: 1157.1 tons CO2
