Over the next five years, CESWay International Inc. of Houston, Texas, will retrofit energy saving equipment and lighting fixtures in a majority of the facilities on base at no initial cost to the Air Force. The contract is the first of its type for Hill and the Department of Defense, and is part of an effort by public utility companies to invest money in energy conservation projects which benefit its customers. In turn, UP&L avoids constructing new powerplants in order to meet Utah's rapidly growing power demands. Likewise, it is estimated that the retrofits will save nearly 6 percent of Hill's current energy consumption and could eventually save 5 percent. These savings are important because Hill has been mandated by executive order and by the Air Force Materiel Command to reduce its energy consumption 20 percent by the year 2000. ill will also reap another benefit from the work the contractor pays for all work up front and is then reimbursed by UP&L and the Air Force (approximately 5050 split in costs) based on documented and proven savings to Hill's electrical utility bill. In addition to the financial savings, the new energy efficient lighting fixtures are expected will 1239, 1226, 1228. 1235, 509, 1102, 1204, 1212, 1208, 119, 120 and 440.
