Current Directives
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05) – Aug 05
New facilities, 30% more efficient than ASHRAE 90.1
Installation of advanced meters
Executive Order (EO) 13423 – Jan 07
Reduce Energy Consumption 30% by 2015
Reduce Water use 16% by 2015
All new construction must incorporate High Performance
and Sustainable Buildings (HPSB) Guiding Principles
(Federal MOU – Jan 06)
15% of existing buildings must be HPSB by 2015
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA07) – Dec 07
New buildings reduce fossil fuel generated energy 55% by
2010 to 100% by 2030
30% hot water supplied by solar water heaters
Restore predevelopment hydrology

Current AF Policy
Goals – focus on new construction
Reduce environmental impact and total ownership cost
Improve energy efficiency and water conservation
Provide safe, healthy and productive built environments
Policy signed Jul 2007 based on LEED version 2.2
In FY09 - 100% of each MAJCOM’s MILCON vertical construction
projects (w/climate control) will be capable of LEED Silver certification
10% of total MILCON per FY, will be selected for formal LEED
registration/certification
As of:
The key to success is setting sustainable development goals early

736 homes Silver certified
FY09: 46 projects on track
for formal LEED Silver
certification and 4
projects on track for
formal LEED Gold
certification (69% of
eligible projects)
Approx 300 AF projects

Culture Change
SDD/LEED Workshops
Organic understanding of sustainability
and LEED essential to success of
program
Conducted 16 workshops since Dec 2007
with over 1000 in attendance
Training requirement transitioned to AFIT
First course offerings: 2Qtr FY10
USAFA, SDD/LEED class offered Fall 09
97 AF LEED Accredited Professionals
Integrity - Service - Excellence
AF Policy Revision
Revision of policy memorandum nearing final draft
All vertical construction will be formally LEED certified – Silver is the
minimum certification level
Incorporates Federal HPSB requirements
Clarifies requirements for all project types
AF Weather Facility, Offutt AFB, NE – LEED Gold Certified

Existing Facilities
HPSB Pilot Study
15% of existing building inventory must be HPSB by 2015
AFCEE conducted initial test for HPSB surveys
5 AF installations: 30 buildings surveyed
Each building has ~ 40 aspects
Over 75% of HPSB aspects are installation-wide aspects
Average score: 70%
Requirements more difficult to achieve are:
Energy Efficiency
Water Conservation
Metering
Commissioning
Daylighting
Thermal Comfort
Ventilation
Will not reach 2015 goal with new construction alone!

HPSB Strategy
Building-by-building
approach
Installation approach
• Each building has ~40 HPSB aspects
• Each installation has ~30 HPSB aspects
• Many aspects are the same for every building
on the installation
• Transfer requirements for energy & water
reductions to the installation
• Must perform energy & water calculations/
modeling on every applicable building
• Augment successful Energy Audit program
to address energy & water performance at the
building level
Requires ~ 840,000 data points
Reduces burden to ~70, 000 data points
Approaching requirement by SF vs. number of buildings, the 15% HPSB

goal for
Crossroads
Multiple federal sustainability requirements
All establish multiple goals for energy
reduction, water reduction, storm water
management, use of renewable energy, etc.
Requirements frequently overlap/conflict
Opportunity to identify a compliance
strategy holistically
Align compliance paths to minimize reporting burden
Integrity - Service - Excellence
Sustainable Communities
Sustainable Communities Initiative
Effort to holistically define sustainability at
the installation level
Very early stages of development
Comprehensive and synergistic approach:
Environmental Management Systems
Asset Management principles
Compliance/conformance driven
LEED-like scoring approach
Exploring potential implementation of Strategic
Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP)

Holistic Solution
Opportunity to create a paradigm shift
Incremental steps towards sustainability are suboptimal
Current approach to Federal Mandates – large data burden
Enterprise Solution: Sustainable Communities
Triple Bottom Line is incorporated into the structure of
Sustainable Communities
LEED-like approach using sustainability credits
Allows installations to select, prioritize and pursue credits
Measure of self-improvement
Identifying how Sustainable Communities can the SSPP
