Solar powered lighting not only illuminates runners on the track at the North Carolina Air National Guard base, Charlotte Douglas Intl. Airport, but also helps conserve energy cost. Conserving energy is a primary function for the airmen of the 145th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES). Contractors and Airmen installed solar lighting in several areas on the base. Solar panels are tilted at certain angle to get maximum solar exposure and energy output in the late afternoon, just at the time when the base is experiencing peak demand due to higher temperatures and cooling needs.

Members of the North Carolina Air National Guard, located at the Charlotte Douglas Intl. Airport, take conserving energy very seriously. The 145th Civil Engineer Squadron is taking steps to promote awareness of the little things everyone can do on a daily basis to be more energy efficient and be more aware of energy and water conservation. Shutting off lights is a great start. Replacing older lights with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use three-quarters of the electricity and last 10 times longer. Occupancy sensors can save between 15 and 30 percent on lighting costs. Everyone plays a key role in saving energy. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Patricia F.

The 145th Civil Engineer Squadron is taking steps to promote awareness of the little things everyone can do on a daily basis to be more energy efficient and be more aware of energy and water conservation. Make sure faucets are completely shut off. Repair leaking pipes, fixtures, and seals. Small leaks add up to many gallons of water and dollars wasted each month. Everyone plays a key role in saving energy. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Patricia F. Moran, 145th Public Affairs/Released)
Proper lighting is a key factor for the 145th Maintenance Squadron (MXS), as airmen work on two C-130 Hercules aircraft at the North Carolina Air National Guard base, Charlotte Douglas Intl. Airport, Sept. 19, 2014. 145th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) maintains the buildings, structures and utilities on the base but also must comply with the Department of Defense Energy Action Plan. To sustain both missions, 145th CES replaced 11 existing inefficient 1000-watt lights with 400 watt induction lamps. This initiative contributed to an annual savings of more than $1,600.00 for the 145th Airlift Wing. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Patricia F. Moran, 145th Public Affairs/Released)
