Energy Consumption FY‐2010
FY‐2010
Retro-Commissioning the Heating and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
When new buildings are constructed the HVAC equipment is tested and set to run at
peak efficiency (commissioning). However, during the next 4-5 years the HVAC sys-
tems tend to drift away from peak efficiency due to operation changes, building layout
changes, and equipment failure.
During the 2011 Fiscal Year the HVAC
Systems were updated in the following
buildings:
Building 29‐ Headquarters
Building 224 – Learning Center
Building 588– Fitness Center Building 222—Personnel
FY12 will include retro-commissioning the SPCS Command, GAF HQ, MXG Command,
Child Dev. Center, and the Youth Center.
Summer Peak
Retro-commissioning would help regulate energy consumption during the peak summer months.
Retro-commissioning, refers to the recalibration and replacement of
failed equipment in the HVAC system to regain the optimal levels
of energy efficiency. Retro-commissioning can save up to 20% in en-
ergy costs.
SAVINGS UP TO $90,000 PER YEAR

3. High Bay Lighting Replacement
HAFB hangar buildings have cut lighting costs by up to 40% by going from HID High Bay
Lights to T-5 Fluorescent High Bay fixtures with lighting sensors and natural daylight features.
 High Bay Lighting has been replaced in the
F-22 and GAF hangars and various ware-
houses totaling 1.2 million sq ft (22 bldgs).
Why we need it :
The Air force is mandated by the Energy Policy Act to
reduce energy consumption by 30% by the year 2015
Combining new lighting technology and natural lighting will
reduce Holloman’s energy consumption
Project completed in FY2011
 Lighting sensors automatically turn off
lights or adjust levels depending on the
available natural light.
SAVINGS UP TO $200,000 PER YEAR

4. Advanced Meter Reading
Electric and Gas Meters
2nd
Phase Out to Contract for FY2012
40 additional building (.9 million sq ft)
Advanced meter reading, or AMR, is the technology of automatically collecting energy
consumption, diagnostic, and status data from energy metering devices (gas, electric) and
transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting and analyzing.
1st
Phase Completed in FY2011
54 buildings (2.6 million sq ft)
Why we Need Advanced Meter Reading:
͏ Usage trend analysis will help pinpoint high energy use
buildings and correct energy waste on base.
͏ Correct data for accurate billing and recognition of actual
energy consumption will promote energy consciousness.
͏ This technology saves the base the expense of monthly
trips to each location to read meters.
v v
“Smart Meters”
Energy use and energy demand is
sent from the building meters to a
base station. This information is then
transferred to computer servers and
readily available for energy reports.
AMR is done for all buildings measuring 35,000 sq ft or more.
SAVINGS UP TO $250,000 PER YEAR

5. HAFB Golf Course Irrigation
Water Conservation Plan
Civil Engineering has constructed a supplemental
irrigation source for the Golf Course to use
treated effluent from the Waste Water
Treatment Plant instead of potable water..
Using effluent water saves approximately 70 million gallons of potable drinking
water per year and helps us meet our water conservation goal of 2% reduction
per year since 2007.
SAVINGS UP TO $117,000 PER YEAR
Effluent water will be collected in a
storage tank until water application
during the irrigation cycle.
This project reduces water consumption
on Holloman AFB by 20%..
Project In-Place since Sept 15, 2011

6. Stadium Light Replacement
West and Main Ramp
The current lighting over the aircraft hangars was installed for security purposes over 40
years ago. Adjustments to the lighting layout will improve lighting and increase efficiency.
Why We Need It:
 Cut the lighting costs at the ramp.
 Maintain security lighting to the Air Force stan-
dards.
 Improve flight safety.
Main Ramp
West Ramp
SAVINGS UP TO $80,000 PER YEAR
The new lightings system have a more efficient layout using
advanced lighting technology.
This project will lower the lighting poles from 150’ to less than 70’.

7. Why We Need It:
The office lighting upgrades can save up to
40% in energy costs.
The 40 year old T-12 fluorescent technology will be replaced with the latest T-8/
T-5 fluorescent technology. The lighting upgrade project covered 2.2 million sq ft.
(over 100 facilities) on Holloman AFB.
41% of the buildings on base (mostly offices) were
upgraded to the efficient T-8 lighting.

8. Upgrade and Expand the Energy Management
Control System (EMCS) on the Base
The EMCS is a centralized computer control system that controls the large heating and
air conditioning system on the base.
Why We Need It:
 Better control of the temperature setting within buildings when not in use.
 Help pinpoint maintenance issues.
 Control the temperature setting on the base.
 Upgrade the current software to the state of the art Air Force approved software
The EMCS Project is design to expand
the system to control up to 179 bldg.
SAVINGS UP TO $500,000 PER YEAR

9. Soaring Heights
Housing Roof-top and Ground Solar Arrays
Holloman AFB offers an exceptional opportunity to take advantage of year-round sun,
open spaces and homes able to accommodate roof mounted systems.
Soaring Heights will generate electricity at a peak rate of ~ 1300 kw and reduce the
consumption of electricity from the community’s electric grid.
Why We Need It:
 Federal mandates require the Air Force to have 25% of their electrical power supplied
by renewables sources by the year 2025
 Combined, the ground solar array and solar roof mount systems could potentially reduce
more 570 million pounds of carbon-dioxide .
Proposal to install ground solar arrays
on 2 sites within the soaring heights
housing area:
 West Gate Array
 Mesquite Array
A solar array would compliment the energy
-efficient building design, materials and
appliances throughout the new homes.

10. Is a Solar Farm the future of HAFB?
The proposed idea is to build a solar electric ar-
ray that would produce a minimum of 5 mega-
watts near the Atlas Substation.
Request for proposals will be posted upon
completion of the Environmental Assessment
Report and a market analysis on solar farm
construction.
The solar farm is projected to produce up
to $4.1 Million of power per year.
The solar arrays would help HAFB
achieve this goal.
Why We Need It:
 The Air Force is mandated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005
to have 25% of their electrical power supplied by renewable
sources by the year 2025.
