The Army Corps of Engineers plans to develop a servicewide system that could support smart meters for electric, gas, steam and water at 20,000 Army facilities to measure energy consumption.
The 2005 Energy Policy Act and the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act mandate energy metering at all federal facilities. In 2008, the Corps awarded CALIBRE of Alexandria, Va., a five-year contract for the Army Meter Data Management System. The contract is worth a total value of $50 million to track, record, and report energy consumption at service facilities.
