Download or read book Energy Conservation and Conversion written by Marshall Hoyler and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense has achieved a reduction in total energy consumption since 1975 and has made good to excellent progress against eleven of its sixteen energy conservation and conversion goals. Weak to poor performance against the remaining five goals frequently reflects good management, since the costs of achieving these goals would have exceeded the benefits of doing so. When DoD progress is compared with that of the U.S. economy overall -- which is feasible for eleven of its conservation/conversion goals -- DoD performance appears better for five goals, similar for four, and worse for two. Keywords: Energy, Conservation, energy conversion.

Download or read book Defense Energy Management written by Edward R. Myers and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) continues to make significant progress toward achieving the goals of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) and Executive Order (EO) 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management. The DOD Energy Program initiatives include energy awareness efforts, energy manager training, audit programs, procurement of energy efficient products, and the use of sustainable design in new construction and major renovation. Other contributing factors include integrated energy planning, enhanced use of renewable energy, demonstration of innovative technologies, and the use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC). DOD is responding to EPAct 2005 and EO 13423. Combined, these mandates established a new energy baseline (2003), increased the annual reduction requirement to 3 percent per year, increased the percentage of renewable energy required (7.5 percent by 2013), increased energy efficiency of new construction to 30 percent below the current standard, and required metering electricity consumption of all facilities. Through Fiscal Year (FY) 2007, the Department of Defense achieved a 10.1 percent decrease in goal facility energy consumption (as measured on a British Thermal Units (Btu) per gross square foot (GSF) basis [Btu/GSF]) as compared to the revised 2003 baseline. The Department of the Army determined that the square footage was over reported in 2003, compared to data contained in the real property database. Therefore, this book contains a significantly revised baseline, which raises the previously reported Btu/GSF from 113,510 to 116,134. At the end of FY 2007 the Department has 1.95 billion square feet of facilities and spent $3.4 billion on facility energy. DoD spent $9.5 billion on non-fleet vehicles and other equipment - such as auto gasoline, LPG-Propane, Aviation Gasoline, jet fuel and Navy-special fuel. DOD continues to make progress in installing renewable energy technologies and purchasing electricity generated from renewable sources (solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass) when life cycle cost-effective. The National Defence Authorization Act of 2007 codified a 2005 DOD goal to produce or procure renewable energy equivalent to 25 percent of facility electrical consumption. The total renewable energy that the Department produced or procured in FY 2007 amounted to 12,054 trillion Btu and represents 11.9 percent of the facility electrical consumption. For FY 2007, the Department of Energy revised the guidance for compliance with the renewable energy requirements of EPAct 2005 and EO 13423, allowing only renewable electricity. Under this revised guidance, DoD achieved 5.5 percent total and 3.3 percent new renewable energy, well exceeding the goals of 3 percent and 1.5 percent respectively.

Book excerpt: "The energy crisis of the 1970s brought an abrupt halt to the euphoric age of relatively cheap and abundant energy for the United States (US). Energy availability became a national security issue prompting a concerted national campaign to achieve energy independence and assure energy availability. As the Federal agency responsible for assuring national security and the largest consumer of energy in the Federal government, DOD developed an energy strategy focused on assuring energy independence and availability while fulfilling Federal energy goals. This research addressed the ability of the DOD's installation sustainable energy strategy to achieve Federal energy goals while supporting the nation's energy independence and availability efforts. An examination of the US energy situation from 1970-2015, a thorough literature review, and an analysis of DOD's current installation energy strategy revealed that DOD has only made satisfactory progress in 3 of 5 Federal energy goals. Despite significant improvements in reducing energy demands, increasing energy supply through renewable sources, and adapting the future force, DOD will remain deficient in achieving Federal energy goals unless the political, economic, and cultural risk factors impeding strategy implementation are addressed."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) collects information on how Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) projects are expected to perform when operational, including anticipated returns on investment and energy or water savings. DOD established ECIP, which funds projects at military installations that are designed to conserve energy or water, generate electricity from renewable sources, promote energy security, or accomplish a combination of these goals. This book assesses the extent to which DOD has reported anticipated returns on investment or reduced energy use from ECIP-funded projects; found that completed ECIP projects have resulted in cost savings or lower energy use; and developed and implemented a strategic vision for ECIP.

Download or read book A Survey of DoD Facility Energy Management Capabilities written by Jeffrey A. Drezner and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the constrained budget environment of recent years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has placed increasing emphasis on enhancing installation & infrastructure management capabilities. Energy management is an important component of infrastructure management. DoD has a facility energy conservation goal of reducing consumption by 30 percent by the year 2005 (measured on a square foot basis from a 1985 baseline). At the same time, DoD is attempting to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, many of which have implications for energy management choices. However, shrinking defense budgets, downsizing & restructuring, & various management reforms are shifting emphasis away from energy management at DoD installations. This report documents RAND research assessing DoD's current capability to achieve energy policy goals at DoD installations. The authors identify what capability currently exists at DoD installations for implementing energy policy effectively & identify ways o enhance that capability through improved training & policy implementation.
