The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) developed and implemented the Decision Support for Operations and Maintenance (DSOM) system for the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This project was funded and authorized under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Agreement with the USMC.
The Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) at Parris Island is on the verge of becoming the most energy-efficient base in the USMC. The initial project involved installing the DSOM II system in the Central Energy Plant (CEP). Since then, PNNL's general work at Parris Island has been focused in four areas:
