Marine Corps Base – Camp Lejeune

Updated: Oct 15

SEA provides Resource Manager for energy assessments of 2,000 buildings, helping to reduce energy costs by 30%

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246 square mile United States military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. SEA was contracted to provide engineering and technical support services for Camp Lejeune by providing an on-site Resource Manager (RM). The RM prioritized and evaluated 2,000 buildings on site to discover energy conservation measures that needed to be implemented. The SEA RM then assisted in seeking the appropriate funding to address the issues and was instrumental for helping Camp Lejeune meet mandated resilience requirements. Over four years, SEA was able to help Camp Lejeune reduce energy costs by 30%, winning the Secretary of the Navy Exchange Excellence Award for the work.

About the Facility

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246 square mile United States military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. SEA was contracted to provide engineering and technical support services for Camp Lejeune by providing an on-site Resource Manager (RM). The RM prioritized and evaluated 2,000 buildings on site to discover energy conservation measures that needed to be implemented. The SEA RM then assisted in seeking the appropriate funding to address the issues and was instrumental for helping Camp Lejeune meet mandated resilience requirements. Over four years, SEA was able to help Camp Lejeune reduce energy costs by 30%, winning the Secretary of the Navy Exchange Excellence Award for the work. 


Scope of Work

Camp Lejeune sought a strategy to enhance energy efficiency, seek funding to support and implement an Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) and increase resilience and sustainability for mission critical operations to continue during potential threats such as inclement weather or power outage events. 


As a result, SEA was contracted to provide engineering and technical support services for Camp Lejeune by providing an on-site Resource Manager (RM). The RM becomes an extension of the Camp Lejeune team by working with the energy section of the Department of Public Works (DPW) to identify, develop and direct resilience and reliability efforts for the 27M square foot training facility. 


Having over 2,000 buildings to evaluate can seem daunting for tackling energy issues, but SEA’s RM was able to use data analytics to identify buildings with a high energy-use intensity to prioritize where to perform energy audits building by building. The RM then provided energy conservation measures (ECMs) for each building. This ensured that while the Installation Energy Manager (IEM) focused on energy issues at the macro level, there were still strides being made building by building.


While helping with the energy efficiency aspect, SEA has also been instrumental for helping Camp Lejeune meet the mandated resilience requirements. The on-site RM develops the Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) projects to be approved for funding and then assists in requesting and establishing that funding. Our RM is also available as an additional resource for the IEM to help with other tasks such as reviewing drawings for military construction projects or assisting in negotiations for the Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC).


Over the past couple of years, Camp Lejeune has had an impressive track record when it comes to energy management, winning the Secretary of the Navy Energy Excellence Award while simultaneously managing to reduce their energy bill by over 30% across four years.
