Preliminary Findings

Detected Analytes were Screened against Three Criteria:• Adjusted residential Regional Screening Levels (RSLs) from

United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) risk-based table (non-carcinogenic RSLs divided by 10)

• Soil screening levels from US EPA risk-based table (multiplied by a dilution attenuation factor of 20)

• Background concentrations (for inorganic compounds)

Six VOCs were Detected above Screening Criteria Eleven SVOCs (primarily polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons) were Detected above Screening Criteria Hexavalent Chromium was the Only Metal Detected

above Screening Criteria No PCBs were Detected 14

15

Preliminary Findings

Hexavalent Chromium

In all borings except SB23 and

SB24

VOCs

Only SB02

SVOCs

In all borings except SB06, SB12,

SB17, and SB20

OVERVIEW

Project Background Building 59 Background Environmental Security Technology Certification Program

(ESTCP) Project Components Summary

19

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Department of Defense (DoD) is Largest Consumer of Energy within Federal Government

Air Force is Largest Consumer of Energy within DoD Air Force Annual Energy Expenditures – $9 Billion

• 84 percent for aviation fuel• 12 percent for facilities (primarily electricity and natural gas)• 4 percent for vehicle and

ground equipment

2020

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Air Force Energy Plan• Reduce demand through

conservation and efficiency• Increase supply through

renewable and alternative energy sources

• Create a culture change –make energy a consideration in all we do

Key Goal• Reduce facility energy

intensity by 3 percent per year based on 2003 baseline (30 percent by 2015)

21

DoD Research Programs• Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program

(SERDP)─ Environmental science and technology program─ Invests in basic and applied research and advanced development

• ESTCP ─ Demonstration and validation program ─ Promotes transfer of innovative technologies from proof of concept to

field or production use

22

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Geosyntec Awarded ESTCP Energy Project• Energy Management System (EMS) for Building 59

(Large Aircraft Corrosion Control Paint/Depaint Facility)• Base Champion:

─ Environmental and Ergonomics Office, WR-ALC/QPE• Collaboration:

─ Geosyntec Consultants─ University of North Carolina at Charlotte

• Three year demonstrationprogram

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Building 59

BUILDING 59 BACKGROUND

225,000 square foot (sf) Corrosion Control Facility (CCF)

Two 65,000 sf Hangar Bays for Paint and Depaint

Small-parts Bay Common Central Facility Systems Process Equipment Plant

EAB Members Received Tour of Building 59 in April 2008

Paint and Depaint Hangars Fully Encloses C-5s and Other Aircraft

24


Paint/Depaint in CCFs Requires Monitoring and Control of:• Lighting• Air flow• Temperature• Relative humidity• Concentrations of particulate matter and

VOCs

25

Significant Energy Demand to Maintain Strict Environmental Control Requirements• Energy usage correlates with climate conditions

Scope of ESTCP Project• Demonstration and validation of

comprehensive and integrated energy management system─ Optimize in place light and

HVAC control system ─ Integration of:

Climate data Paint/depaint schedule Building occupancy Process mode (e.g., active painting,

curing, no aircraft) Equipment efficiency sensors

─ Development of tools to communicateenergy savings opportunities

“Most energy efficiency in industry is achieved through changes in how energy is managed in a facility” – Paul Scheihing, Technology

Manager, Department of Energy, 2009
