WESTON Wins Multiple Renewable and Sustainable Energy Contracts with the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency

WEST CHESTER, PA — July 7, 2009 – The Energy and Air Force programs of Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON^®) expanded further in June, continuing a pattern of growing renewable, sustainable, and energy efficiency business globally with the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency (AFCESA).

On June 16, WESTON was awarded a $500,000 biomass and waste-to-renewable energy feasibility study for Eglin Air Force Base—the world’s largest, encompassing over 450,000 acres in northwest Florida. The project addresses three vital energy issues on the base: energy security through independence and diversity of on-site, renewable energy sources, improving conservation and efficiency in consumption patterns, and promoting a cultural change toward base energy use among base personnel. Ultimately, WESTON’s feasibility study will be the platform for energy recovery from biomass projects to meet federal, Department of Defense (DoD), and Air Force goals for renewable energy, on-site energy production, and fossil fuel and greenhouse gas reduction.

On June 22, WESTON was awarded a $3.1 million Energy Conservation Investment Program contract at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, for the replacement, reconfiguration, and installation of a new economizer system for the Central Boiler Plant. The project calls for full integration of engineering, design, and construction activities, including automation of existing systems with each of the four, 40,000 pounds-per-hour boilers, to ensure the base can meet mission-critical steam generation requirements. Over the past 20 years, the boilers have decreased capacity by 25%, and this effort will ensure that lost efficiency is captured in order to maximize production and energy savings and eliminate waste.

On June 23, WESTON was awarded a $2.7 million Energy Conservation Investment Program contract to upgrade lighting and improve controls in Pacific operations at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, and Kadena Air Base, Japan. This will be a design-build effort to upgrade mission-critical lighting and controls to maximize energy efficiency, while maintaining and improving lighting levels to ANSI IESNA standards.

WESTON continues to extend its integrated renewable and clean energy program services to DoD, federal agency, and state, local, and commercial clients, offering energy efficiency, demand-side energy management, and 1-30 MW small packaged renewable energy solutions.
