Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

Outline


A Critical Installation Responsibility

• Installations are like any towns or cities where citizens

live, work, and play and desire great neighborhoods

and quality of life

• Each installation must have a

master plan for resilient, sustainable,

energy efficient development that

also preserves long-term military

capabilities

• Military planning follows the same

master planning practices as cities

and townsFt. Belvoir Mixed Use Development

Energy Efficient Master Planning


The primary goal is a focus toward net zero and when we talk about net zero, it's not

only net zero energy, but it's net zero

energy, water, and waste. When you look at the term "net zero" or a hierarchy of net

zero you must start with reduction, then progress through repurposing, recycling,

energy recovery, disposal being the last.

Honorable Katherine HammackAssistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment

The Charge to Sustainability


The planning process facilitates sustainability

How Do We Achieve Sustainable Installations?

Start with the process of master planning

• Move beyond “vacant lot” planning

• Create compact, mixed-use developments instead of segregated, sprawling uses

• Develop “walkable” instead of auto dependent communities

• Focus on the entire community, not individual buildings

• A process…not a product…begins with a vision


What is Energy Efficient Master Planning?

It’s more than the buildings…

It means:

• Creating sustainable communities while improving

quality of life, housing, and the overall health and well-

being of Soldiers, families, and civilians

• Meeting the mission and Federal mandates

Ft. Hood Clear Creek Darnall District


• Focus is on resilient infrastructure solutions developed

around connected utility and multi-modal

transportation networks; reduced, compact

footprints...and repurposing of buildings

• Promote a sustainable, resilient land utilization

strategy ensuring both mission reductions and

mission growth

• Encourage comprehensive energy solutions that

reduce energy consumption

Master Planning Policies


FEDERAL LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL, ENERGY, AND ECONOMIC

PERFORMANCE (5 Oct 2009)

It is therefore the policy of the United States that Federal

agencies shall…design, construct, maintain, and operate high performance sustainable buildings in sustainable locations….

Ensure that planning for new Federal facilities or new leases

includes consideration of sites that are pedestrian friendly, near

existing employment centers, and accessible to public transit,

and emphasizes existing central cities and, in rural communities,

existing or planned town centers.

Executive Order 13514


PLANNING FOR FEDERAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE NEXT DECADE(25 MARCH 2015)

- Increase efficiency and improve environmental performance

- Implement space utilization and optimization policies and practices- Including transportation and infrastructure planning; access to public transit

- Cut energy use in federal buildings by 25% over next 10 years (2.5% per year) (2015 baseline)

- Use not less than 30% renewable energy by 2025

- Ensure all buildings that enter the planning process by 2020 are designed to achieve net zero energy by 2030 and where feasible net zero water or waste by 2030

- Reduce water use in federal buildings by 20% by 2025 (2% per year) (2007 baseline)- Green infrastructure strategies

Executive Order 13693


• Footprint reduction efforts have to be

integrated with the master planning process

• Footprint reduction efforts should be done

on a holistic basis (not on an isolated

building by building basis)

• Any footprint reduction efforts must ensure

that long-term installation capabilities

preserved

10 Key Planning Strategies


Installation Master Planning Process


FY13 National Defense Authorization Act

2801(a) Preparation of Military Master Plans

Plans required– At a time interval prescribed by the

Secretary concerned (but not less frequently than

once every 10 years), the commander of each

military installation under the jurisdiction of the

Secretary shall ensure an installation master plan is

designed to address environmental planning,

sustainable design and development, sustainable

range planning, real property master planning and

transportation planning.


Each installation master plan shall include

consideration of planning for:

a) compact and infill development;

b) horizontal and vertical mixed-use development;

c) the full lifecycle costs of planning decisions; and

d) capacity planning through the establishment of

growth boundaries around cantonment areas to

focus development towards the core and

preserve range and training space.

FY14 National Defense Authorization Act

Section 2809


• Installation should develop a holistic roadmap to meet goals of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and

energy resilience.

• Goals should consider mission, master plans, priorities, opportunities and constraints.

• End goal: better long-term installation energy performance and lower total operating costs.

• Work with tenants and stakeholders to develop a

holistic plan.

New DoD Policy: Installation Energy Plans by 2019

Energy Reductions Achieved by the Master Plan at Schofield Barracks


• Identifies ways to reduce costs associated with

energy, water, and waste.

• A follow-on to an Area Development Plan, that can

help move an installation closer towards net zero.

• Identifies measures at both the planning and building

level to facilitate more efficient use of limited fiscal

and natural resources.

• Result: a fully integrated component of a holistic

master plan rather than a stand-alone plan for

energy, water, and waste.

What is a Sustainability Component Plan?


Meet federal planning mandates for maintaining

energy, water, waste, and storm water usage

optimization through data collection and analysis.

areas that meet current and unforeseen objectives.

8J BASE CAMP PLANNING VISION

• In support of Joint Force Training, 8J will be a

developed base camp, with a full range of

appropriate facilities and infrastructure.

The plan takes advantage of

existing topography by reversing the

placement of the tent laydown

space with tactical vehicle parking.

The Quonset huts are demolished

and the hillside terraced to combat

erosion. The gently sloped land to

the west is used for tent laydown. A

location for photovoltaic panels has

been identified to the north of the

billeting tents.
