Drivers– Energy security,

surety, and reliability– Water scarcity– Increasing energy prices/

Fully burdened costs of fuel– Foreign energy sources– Environmental concerns– Federal and DoD mandates– Improved operational

capabilities– Risk reduction

Drivers for Change Resulted in Creation of Net Zero Programs for Energy, Water, and Waste

Net Zero ENERGY: Reduce overall energy use, maximize efficiency, implement energy recovery and cogeneration opportunities, and then offset the remaining demand with the production of renewable energy from on-site sources, such that the Net Zero energy installation produces as much renewable energy as it uses over the course of a year.

Net Zero WATER: Reduce overall water use, regardless of the source; increase efficiency of water equipment; recycle and reuse water, shifting from potable water use to non-potable sources as much as possible; and minimize inter-basin transfers of any type of water, potable or non-potable, such that a Net Zero water installation recharges as much water back into the aquifer as it withdraws.

Net Zero WASTE: Reduce, reuse, recycle/compost, and recover solid waste streams, converting them to resource values, resulting in zero landfill disposal.

Baseline and Efficiency Assessments

Example Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs)

Building envelope ECMs: improved wall/roof insulation, replacement of un-insulated windows and doors, and general weatherization

Control ECMs: programmable thermostats, occupancy sensors, exhaust fan/water cooler timers, building controls upgrade

Lighting ECMs: retrofit or replacements of existing lamps and ballasts with higher efficiency/low wattage alternatives

Mechanical ECMs: retro/continuous commissioning; high-efficiency boilers, chillers, pumps, fan motors, and water heaters

Evaluate Current Resource Use – “baseline” the existing level of energy use

Identify Efficiency Opportunities – through energy portfolio audits, modeling services, and opportunity screenings

Water Balance

As shown here Tobyhanna’s annual water usage varies

by season

Results of Tobyhanna’s water balance is depicted here as a water flow diagram of it’s potable water distribution system, illustrating major water uses and ultimate discharge of each use

Water Roadmaps Water Balance

- Identify largest end-users- Set priorities

Water Efficiency- Perform LCC analysis on

measures- Rank order projects- Include technology and

behavioral changes needed

Roadmap Workshop- Collaborate with site- Set priorities- Identify funding- Determine acquisition strategy

Roadmap and Master Planning- Finalize strategy- Incorporate into master planning

Camp Rilea Water Roadmap

Of note is that while water use is decreased, Camp Rilea does not achieve Net Zero Water in 2020 through conservation measures alone. Net Zero also requires Camp Rilea to find avenues for both reclaimed water and direct potable reuse.

Objective - Analyze waste streams (outputs) and procurement (inputs) to support Net Zero waste strategies

Approach - Use readily available data- Organize analysis by activity type- Identify priority waste streams for reduction /

elimination

Reuse efforts:

- Furniture donation program (target: 16,000 of used barracks furnishings)

- Developing more partnerships for re-use, e.g. Goodwill

Recycling efforts:

- Recycling all mattresses from barracks- Recycling incentives for Units- Electronics recycling via Federal Prison

Industries (UNICOR)

- Porcelain collection with City

- New recycling truck that can weigh containers
