This thesis provides a brief history of utilities
conservation and a background on electricity metering
in the Navy. A cost analysis is made of the savings
that would be required to justify installation of
meters in the operational area of the Naval
Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, using net
present value techniques. Cost data from a metering
project at Pacific Missile Test Center, Pt. Mugu,
California forms a basis for this analysis. The
analysis indicates that meters would be justified at
the school if an annual savings of electricity
resulting from metering could be realized in the range
of 2.1% to 7.4%. The thesis concludes that similar
analyses should be conducted at other Navy
installations to determine the amount of electricity
savings that would be required to justify metering.
