Legend Power Systems® announced that in a joint project with one of its ESCO partners it will provide SmartGATE Insights services and project scoping for select defence installations in the eastern U.S. This particular eastern region segment of defence facilities includes approximately 1,200 buildings. The Department of Defence (DoD) manages nearly 300,000 buildings many of which are subject to Federal energy management requirements including energy efficiency targets, renewable energy use goals, and fossil fuel reductions. In Fiscal Year 2006, the DoD used almost 30,000 gigawatt hours (GWH) of electricity, at a cost of almost $2.2 billion. As producers of large volumes of greenhouse gases (GHGs), the Department of Defence is committed to understand the impact their facilities could have on climate change. Legend and its ESCO partner are working with the DoD and its Energy and Environmental Sustainability managers to monitor, report, and introduce solutions to reduce its GHG emissions.
