Upgrade existing DDC system to current standards. Install electric, natural gas, and water smart meters. The existing chillers, split, and package systems identified within this project are the aging systems that are dependent upon R-22 Freon. The Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol require the United States to phase out the consumption of HCFC's to include ceasing the production and importing of R-22 after 2019.

All R-22 units will be disposed of off base by the contractor. Report the total volume of disposed R-22 to the 169 CES. Many of the existing units have minor leaks identified and require periodic maintenance to maintain a charge. The units identified herein will be at or beyond their useful life expectancy before 2020. The efficiency of some of these older systems are almost half that of their high efficiency upgraded equipment. The boilers identified within this project are approaching their useful life expectancy and were minimum efficiency boilers when installed. The current smart meters fall short of the 2020 requirement to monitor electronically 85% of the energy used on the installation and the system requires updating to allow for remote monitoring. Additional meters are required through this project as well as upgrading the central monitoring system. The facilities should be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards.
