Alternative Strategies for Optimizing Energy Supply, Distribution, and Consumption Systems on Naval Bases. Volume 1: Near-Term Strategies.

The report describes an assessment of alternate strategies for optimizing energy supply, distribution, and consumption systems on naval bases. It contains the results of cost/benefit analyses of six near-term energy conservation strategies applicable to continental United States (CONUS) naval bases. Implementation of these energy conservation strategies would not require research and development (R AND D) expenditures and would result in an energy savings roughly equivalent to 11 percent of current CONUS Navy energy use.
