摘要: |
The U.S. armed services and related supporting structures buy a significant amount of electrical power from the private sector during any given month. More than a third of the total electrical utility cost can typically be attributed to operation of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Natural gas cooling systems offer savings in cooling cost by reducing on-peak electrical demand and, at certain sites, by reducing the cost of energy by using natural gas instead of electricity. This study compiled a current snapshot of electric and natural gas rates at FORSCOM and TRADOC installations for calendar year 1999. The gathered information is intended to provide data required for a lifecycle cost analysis of natural gas cooling or electric/natural gas hybrid cooling systems. |
