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.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DoD is the largest single energy using organization in the U.S. Achieving DoD's energy conservation goals has become increasingly important in a tight budget environment. This report documents Phase 1 of a larger study examining DoD's energy management capabilities and ways to enhance those capabilities. Energy management includes both technical (e.g., project design) and non-technical (e.g., education and awareness) activities. Based on extensive interviews of energy managers throughout DoD, we have identified several categories of factors affecting energy program success, including organizational factors, training and experience, communication and interactions, resources, and metrics and measuring. These areas suggest where energy policy emphasis should be placed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National security relies heavily on the ready availability of energy resources in the types, quantities, and locations the military demands. While U.S. energy needs are currently met, the shrinking gap between global supply and demand draws the world closer to a tipping point at which human behavior is less predictable, competition overwhelms social and geopolitical normalizing forces, and conflict becomes more likely and more pronounced. Given concerns about future resource availability, DoD would be well served by devising and implementing a sustainable, resilient energy strategy that addresses current projections and adapts to evolving conditions.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central purpose of the defense energy management program is to assure that the armed forces of the United States have sufficient energy resources to maintain the training, operational readiness, and the combat capability of the strategic and tactical forces. This includes a broad range of interrelated energy programs which include petroleum supply assurance, energy self-sufficiency, and energy conservation and efficiency. Two distinct sets of proposals emerged from the workshop: One set is readily implementable modest program of joint activities as described in 'Individual Working Group Findings'; and The other set is a number of major 'system-side' proposals in the Government-wide implications that require significant evaluation and coordination before they can be implemented (at least one of these proposals--FAST--may require new legislative action).
Download or read book Defense Infrastructure written by Mark Gaffigan and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD consumes about 60% of all energy used at federal government facilities. To encourage an increased use of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, (1) DoD must consume at least 3% of its total electricity from renewable resources starting in FY 2007; (2) An amount equal to half of the statutorily required renewable energy be generated by sources placed into service in 1999 or later; and (3) At least 25% of electricity consumed by DoD come from renewable sources in FY 2025. This report examined: (1) DoD's progress toward these three key goals for consuming renewable energy in FY 2007 and 2008; (2) challenges to DoD meeting those goals; and (3) DoD's plans to meet the goals. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

Download or read book Energy Reduction at U S Air Force Facilities Using Industrial Processes written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest consumer of energy in the federal government. In turn, the U.S. Air Force is the largest consumer of energy in the DoD, with a total annual energy expenditure of around $10 billion. Approximately 84 percent of Air Force energy use involves liquid fuel consumed in aviation whereas approximately 12 percent is energy (primarily electricity) used in facilities on the ground. This workshop was concerned primarily with opportunities to reduce energy consumption within Air Force facilities that employ energy intensive industrial processes-for example, assembly/disassembly, painting, metal working, and operation of radar facilities-such as those that occur in the maintenance depots and testing facilities. Air Force efforts to reduce energy consumption are driven largely by external goals and mandates derived from Congressional legislation and executive orders. To date, these goals and mandates have targeted the energy used at the building or facility level rather than in specific industrial processes. In response to a request from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, the National Research Council, under the auspices of the Air Force Studies Board, formed the Committee on Energy Reduction at U.S. Air Force Facilities Using Industrial Processes: A Workshop. The terms of reference called for a committee to plan and convene one 3 day public workshop to discuss: (1) what are the current industrial processes that are least efficient and most cost ineffective? (2) what are best practices in comparable facilities for comparable processes to achieve energy efficiency? (3) what are the potential applications for the best practices to be found in comparable facilities for comparable processes to achieve energy efficiency? (4) what are constraints and considerations that might limit applicability to Air Force facilities and processes over the next ten year implementation time frame? (5) what are the costs and paybacks from implementation of the best practices? (6) what will be a proposed resulting scheme of priorities for study and implementation of the identified best practices? (7) what does a holistic representation of energy and water consumption look like within operations and maintenance?
