Abstract: This project conducted an energy and water survey at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), Champaign, IL, to identify energy and water inefficiencies and waste, and to propose energy and water-related projects that would enable the installation to better meet mandated energy and water reduction requirements. The survey included a Level I energy and water optimization assessment study, which reviewed the Main Complex and other buildings within the secured perimeter. The leased AT&T facility was not included in the study since ERDC-CERL intends to vacate the AT&T facility within the next 2 years. Also, the EFOB-L facilities on the north edge of the ERDC-CERL property were not included in the study since these facilities currently receive very minimal electrical support from the Main Complex. The study identified nine economically viable energy conservation measures (ECMs) that, if implemented, would substantially reduce ERDC-CERL’s annual energy consumption. These ECMs are presented in three groups according to the size of the required investment for each ECM. The study also identified four economically viable (“low-cost”) water conservation measures (WCMs) that, if implemented, would reduce ERDC-CERL’s annual water use by up to 207 kgal/yr.
