Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC) at Naval Base Guam: Cost-Beneit Analysis and Acquisition Strategy

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA621261 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The purposes of this research are to determine whether it is financially feasible and attractive to install sea water air conditioning SWAC at Naval Base NB Guam, which the Naval Facilities Engineering Command currently deems to be true to develop an acquisition strategy that NB Guam would be able to use to procure a SWAC system and to identify any environmental obstacles associated with installing a SWAC system at NB Guam. This includes environmental impact studies and potential long-term schedule effects of environmental research. This research provides the analytic underpinning for the SWAC-driven reduction of electricity consumption at a significant number of naval facilities, and it provides a significant contribution towards meeting the Secretary of the Navy s renewable energy goals.
