Quadrennial Defense Review February 2010
Energy Security – “assured access to reliable supplies
of energy and the ability to protect and deliver
sufficient energy to meet operational needs” – pg 87


DoD will
– promote investments in energy efficiency
– ensure that critical installations are adequately
prepared for prolonged outages caused by
natural disasters, accidents, or attacks
Balance energy production and transmission to
preserve test and training ranges and operating areas
needed to maintain readiness
“Energy efficiency can serve as a force multiplier, because
it increases the range and endurance of forces in the field
and can reduce the number of combat forces diverted to
protect energy supply lines…” – pg 87
QDR energy security discussion is consistent with Army approach and priorities

IE&E New Name - Focused Mission
Installations, Energy and the Environment
 Updated name incorporates ‘energy’ to emphasize the
growing importance of energy security and sustainability
within the Army
 Aligns the Army to carry out priorities set by President
Obama
 Maintains ongoing focus on Army installations and the
environment
ASA(IE&E) Mission Statement
 “ASA (IE&E) provides strategic direction for Army
installations and facilities in all matters relating to
infrastructure, energy and the environment, to support
global Army missions in a cost effective, safe, and
sustainable manner .”

Army Energy Goals
 Net Zero Installations
 Leveraging Public/Private Authorities
 Reduce Operational Energy in base camps
2011 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 4
Net Zero Hierarchy
 A Net Zero ENERGY Installation is an
installation that produces as much energy on
site as it uses, over the course of a year.
 A Net Zero WATER Installation limits the
consumption of freshwater resources and
returns water back to the same watershed so
not to deplete the groundwater and surface
water resources of that region in quantity or
quality.
 A Net Zero WASTE Installation is an installation
that reduces, reuses, and recovers waste
streams, converting them to resource values
with zero landfill.
 A Net ZERO Installation is one which applies
an integrated approach to management of
energy, water, and waste to capture and
commercialize the resource value and/or
enhance the ecological productivity of land,
water, and air.
Leveraging Private Investments
Leveraging private sector investments is a strategy to
advance efficiencies in an era of constrained resources.
Authorities from Congress (underutilized):




Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) – Implementation and financing of
energy efficiency projects out of energy cost savings
Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) – Use of non-excess Army land exchanged for In-kind
SRM projects
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – Energy projects installed on installations at
no-cost in exchange for long term agreements to purchase renewable energy
Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) – Service contract with utility provider
Other Authorities (well utilized):



Residential Community Initiative (RCI) – privatized housing
Privatized Army Lodging (PAL)
Utility Privatization (UP)

Incorporate into Army Core
Enterprise
Energy & Sustainability – Recent Policies
 Utilization of Efficient Lighting Policy (Oct 2010)
 The Army will phase out purchases of incandescent light bulbs
 Implements Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 efficiency
standards for manufacturers to improve the performance of lamps intended for
general service applications
 Sustainable Design & Development Policy (updated Oct 2010)
 Policy update addresses the Army approach to the design and development of
efficient military construction projects and major renovations by incorporating
guidance in ASHRAE 189.1 as the baseline standard.
 Building Efficiency Tax Deduction Policy (Dec 2010)
 Policy will assist Army contractors to validate and obtain tax incentives and
deduction for costs of installing certain energy efficient systems in
government buildings
 Contractors can qualify for tax deductions of up to $1.80 per square foot.
 Building envelope, HVAC and Hot Water Systems, and lighting can each
qualify for 1/3 of the deduction
 The tax incentives were authorized in the 2005 Energy Policy Act and enacted
as IRC Section 179D

Installation Energy Program
 Engaged Army Leadership
 Charter a comprehensive Senior Energy & Sustainability Council
(SESC)
 AUSA Senior Army Leadership Panel: Energy & Sustainability
 Change Army Culture:
 ASA (IE&E) Policies:
 Utilization of Efficient Lighting Policy (Oct 2010)
 Sustainable Design & Development Policy (updated Oct 2010)
 Building Efficiency Tax Deduction Policy (Dec 2010)
 Army energy billing at privatized housing and mock billing for
Brigade Combat Teams now allows the Army to better track energy
costs
 Spread the word: Soldier Magazine, Jan 2011 has 8 articles on
efficient & renewable energy
 Professionalism & Training
 Each installation implements a requirement for a trained, dedicated
energy manager on-staff
 Annual Army Energy Manager Training Workshops
Renewable Energy Project Potential
 The Army prioritizes CONUS installations for Renewable
Energy Development based on:

