Discusses the application of a national laboratory’s end-use disaggregation algorithm (EDA) to a Department of Defense (DOD) installation and presents hourly reconciled end-use data for all major building types and end-uses. The goals of the effort were to develop an energy database by building type and by end use for DOD facilities and to enhance the DOD energy office’s ability to track energy use by end use. Initially focused on achieving these objectives and pilot-testing the methodology at Fort Hood, Texas. More than 20 prototypes were developed for all major building types. Up to 11 end uses were considered for each prototype, consisting of 9 electric and 2 gas; however, only the electric end uses were reconciled against measured electricity-use data and weather conditions. The EDA was applied to 10 separate feeders from the three substations. The results from the analyses of these 10 feeders were extrapolated to estimate energy use by building type and end use for the entire installation and validate the results with an independent utility’s billing data for electricity use for the installation.
