Overview
Webster Outlying Field sought to reduce energy use, eliminate fuel oil reliance, and modernize aging systems across its diverse campus. CEG was tasked with a multi-phase ESPC covering 67 buildings — from hangars and research labs to data centers. The challenge: deliver deep energy savings and electrification measures without disrupting critical defense research and operations.
Solutions
CEG implemented lighting retrofits (10,000 fixtures), HVAC upgrades, water fixture replacements, envelope improvements, and retrocommissioning across 60+ buildings. The centerpiece was electrification: nine central plants were replaced with 600 tons of GSHP systems, fully electrifying the site’s five largest buildings. Borefields were sized and sited to support simultaneous heating and cooling, cutting fossil fuel use and enhancing resilience. CEG also provided tailored O&M support, including GSHP maintenance, manuals, and staff training.
Results
The Webster project delivers $1.2M in annual savings, reduces energy use by 21,873 MMBtu, and cuts water consumption by 2.8M gallons each year. Energy use fell by more than 40% across the campus and by 54% in its largest buildings. By eliminating fuel oil and installing high-efficiency GSHPs, Webster enhanced resilience, reduced emissions, and advanced its long-term sustainability goals.
