NWS has assisted numerous Military Complexes and Facilities all across the United States to reduce utility costs.
The Challenge
These buildings are typically heavily populated, with a rotation of individuals coming in and out at all hours of the day and night. They stay for relatively short periods of time and then are on to another military base or location. Any water conservation project must be seamless and not impact the lives of the individuals residing on the base.
The In-depth Analysis
The first step in developing a water/energy reduction program for a military complex is to analyze exactly how water, sewer and energy are being used on the base and by whom. Once this has been determined, coordination with the base personnel is the key to success in this type of program. There are typically many layers of personnel that need to be involved for a project to be successful and NWS has an experienced staff that will guide a project from conception to fulfillment.
The Solution
There are no typical savings opportunities in a military complex. They cover the gamut of just about anything you can think of concerning water use. Military bases have barracks (multi-family), hospitals, schools, offices and substantial green space, all of which present opportunities for water savings. Understanding the needs and priorities of the individual military complex is the solution for a successful project. NWS can assist you with any water related opportunity.
