Navy base earns energy conservation award
Naval Base Point Loma was one of nine naval commands recently recognized as a “Platinum Level” energy conservation achiever in recognition of an outstanding energy program and exceptional year for energy project execution.
The announcement was made on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy, Donald C. Winter.
Navy officials said Capt. Mark D. Patterson, commanding officer at Naval Base Point Loma, placed a command priority on implementing an exceptional energy and water conservation program in fiscal year 2006. Ultimately, more than 20 projects were implemented and executed with energy costs savings estimated at more than $500,000 annually.
A ceremony was held in late October at the Navy memorial in Washington, D.C. to recognize the achievement of the local military installation.
