Camp Pendleton - 8/13/2007

Camp Pendleton:

• Located between Los Angeles and San Diego, CA, U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Joseph H. Pendleton is home to 1^st Marine Expeditionary Force, 1^st Marine Division, and hosts 60,000 military and civilian personnel each day.
• 6,000 buildings and 15.3 million square feet of office space.

Needs:

• Must meet requirements of Executive Order 13123, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1999.
• 1985 baseline energy consumption levels must be reduced 30% by 2005 and 35% by 2010
• Nuisance tripping and shorts becoming a regular occurrence.

Square D/Schneider Electric Meet Needs:

• Comprehensive retrofit plan implemented to replace existing lighting with higher efficiency luminaries and incorporating Square D lighting controls to switch lights off during unoccupied periods.
• Square D^® Powerlink^® lighting control systems installed in order to achieve goals. 16 independently configurable time schedules and the ability to configure up to 64 lighting zones per controller included with each system.
• Lighting control system contoured to best meet occupant needs, provides flexibility.

Benefit to Camp Pendleton:

• As of mid-2006, base energy consumption reduced 31% from 1985 levels.
• Saving more than 500,000 kWh annually.
• Payback period better than originally expected.
• Improved productivity.

 Jeff Allen, Base Energy Manager, states “Lighting control represents a straightforward way to reduce energy consumption. It reduces energy use, prolongs lamp life, reduces maintenance costs, contributes to our energy reduction goal and creates a pressure-free environment for personnel, because lights go off on their own.”
