Performs large scale (national, multi-installation, installation-wide) analysis of energy and water conservation projects in the Department of Defense (DOD). REEP (Renewables and Energy Efficiency Program) analyzes 104 energy- and water-efficiency technologies at 210
DOD installations. The technologies are
evaluated for their energy savings potential, financial viability, and
pollution abatement potential. A database contains over 100 entries of specific data for each installation. The financial
analysis uses life-cycle costing methods and allows selection of ECIP and ESPC economic criteria. REEP is designed to be used in the strategic planning and budgeting phase of a project. The simplified engineering calculations work well for large scale analysis to target an plan the conservation actions with the largest payoff and budget sufficient funds to implement these measures.
REEP requires no input, however the user can modify most default parameters to evaluate potential scenarios. REEP provides a variety of both detailed and
summarized report formats.

Validation/Testing
N/A
Expertise Required
Ability to run Windows-type menu-driven interface. Some knowledge of resource-saving technologies
and economic analyses.
Users
Approximately 200.
Audience
DOD energy managers, associated contracting firms, and high-level Federal budget analysts, private sector businesses.
Input
None required.
Output
Succinct energy, financial, pollution, executive and graphical reports available along with very detailed output. The output can be sorted, printed, displayed, loaded to disk, or exported to spreadsheet format.
Computer Platform
PC-compatible, 486 or higher microprocessor, 16 Mb RAM or more, 10 MB of hard drive space, Windows 9x or higher operating system.
Programming Language
Visual FoxPro 6.0
Strengths
No input required, ease of use, fast runtime, comprehensive technology coverage, flexible report output, and
extensive on-line help.
Weaknesses
Accuracy of analysis is only as good as the accuracy of the installation data and default parameters. Analysis below the National level should include on-site fine tuning of input data. Works only at DOD domestic installations.
