Military Housing

Energy Efficiency Modernization Program

Developed a large-scale effort to install energy-efficiency upgrades to approximately 15,000 homes. More than 150,000 improvements were made possible as a result of a $100 million energy and water efficiency investment. 

  • Guaranteed savings of $6 million in the first year; $247 million over 30 years.

  • Water conservation measures in 15,000+ homes: low-flow toilets, bathroom & kitchen faucet aerators, and shower heads. 

  • Energy-efficient lighting and fixture upgrades in 15,000+ homes.

  • Nearly 4,000 high-efficiency HVAC systems.

  • More than 12,000 “smart” thermostats which monitor temperature and building humidity.

  • Over 8,000 weatherization improvements, including insulation, weather stripping, and energy-efficient windows.

  • ~7,800 water meters, which use the most up-to-date tools to ensure accurate measurement of water consumption and precise usage reports. In addition, the technology provides early detection of water leaks or reverse flow.

Air Force Project in Hawaii

$102 million energy conservation project and accompanying 25-year O&M service agreement to assure performance and savings. The project, which brings in additional private capital without the need for congressional appropriations, will provide holistic energy solutions to modernize over 2,500 privatized military housing units and is expected to generate $13 million in annual cost savings that would be used to pay for the improvements, financing costs, and operations and maintenance services over the 25-year performance period.

Army Project at Fort Johnson, Louisiana

Upgraded and revitalized over 3,500 housing units at Fort Johnson, Louisiana. The upgrades included new geothermal heat pumps, updated domestic water fixtures, and the installation of smart thermostats for energy conservation. In addition, HVAC upgrades were implemented to both reduce energy and provide better humidity control which further reduces building maintenance requirements. In 2024, we kicked off the third phase of geothermal upgrades and energy efficiency work. At the end of this phase, all homes, community centers, and other office and maintenance buildings will have geothermal heating and cooling, efficient lighting, and smart thermostats/energy controls to allow for predictive maintenance and improved energy management. 

Fort Johnson Geothermal Installation

Army Project in Hawaii

$150 million energy security and modernization project to provide turnkey energy efficiency improvements and new solar energy systems to more than 5,800 homes. A variety of energy efficiency improvements were made to the homes, including new highly efficient HVAC systems to improve resident comfort, reduce mechanical outages, and standardize HVAC system types across the portfolio to lower O&M costs. The energy project also provided housing envelope improvements, weatherization sealing, attic insulation, domestic water conservation, residential and street lighting improvements through LED lighting technology, as well as the installation of 6MW of new rooftop solar PV energy systems throughout Island Palm Communities. The additional solar deployment further reduces the housing community's electric rate and carbon footprint by increasing the proportionate use of clean renewable energy and decreasing the consumption of grid-supplied power.
