QDR energy security discussion is consistent with Army approach and priorities
Energy Security – “assured access to reliable supplies of energy and the ability to protect and deliver sufficient energy to meet operational needs” – pg 87 DoD will
– promote investments in energy efficiency – ensure that critical installations are adequately
prepared for prolonged outages caused by natural disasters, accidents, or attacks
Balance energy production and transmission to preserve test and training ranges and operating areas needed to maintain readiness
“Energy efficiency can serve as a force multiplier, because it increases the range and endurance of forces in the field and can reduce the number of combat forces diverted to protect energy supply lines…” – pg 87

IE&E New Name - Focused Mission
Installations, Energy and the Environment
Updated name incorporates ‘energy’ to emphasize the growing importance of energy security and sustainability within the Army
Aligns the Army to carry out priorities set by President Obama
Maintains ongoing focus on Army installations and the environment
ASA(IE&E) Mission Statement “ASA (IE&E) provides strategic direction for Army
installations and facilities in all matters relating to infrastructure, energy and the environment, to support global Army missions in a cost effective, safe, and sustainable manner .”

Army Energy Goals
Net Zero Installations
Leveraging Public/Private Authorities
Reduce Operational Energy in base camps
Net Zero Hierarchy
A Net Zero ENERGY Installation is an installation that produces as much energy on site as it uses, over the course of a year.
A Net Zero WATER Installation limits the consumption of freshwater resources and returns water back to the same watershed so not to deplete the groundwater and surface water resources of that region in quantity or quality.
A Net Zero WASTE Installation is an installation that reduces, reuses, and recovers waste streams, converting them to resource values with zero landfill.
A Net ZERO Installation is one which applies an integrated approach to management of energy, water, and waste to capture and commercialize the resource value and/or enhance the ecological productivity of land, water, and air.

Leveraging Private Investments
Authorities from Congress (underutilized): Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) – Implementation and financing of
energy efficiency projects out of energy cost savings Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) – Use of non-excess Army land exchanged for In-kind
SRM projects Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – Energy projects installed on installations at
no-cost in exchange for long term agreements to purchase renewable energy Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) – Service contract with utility provider
Other Authorities (well utilized): Residential Community Initiative (RCI) – privatized housing Privatized Army Lodging (PAL) Utility Privatization (UP)
Leveraging private sector investments is a strategy to advance efficiencies in an era of constrained resources.

Energy & Sustainability – Recent Policies
Utilization of Efficient Lighting Policy (Oct 2010) The Army will phase out purchases of incandescent light bulbs Implements Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 efficiency
standards for manufacturers to improve the performance of lamps intended for general service applications
Sustainable Design & Development Policy (updated Oct 2010) Policy update addresses the Army approach to the design and development of
efficient military construction projects and major renovations by incorporating guidance in ASHRAE 189.1 as the baseline standard.
Building Efficiency Tax Deduction Policy (Dec 2010) Policy will assist Army contractors to validate and obtain tax incentives and
deduction for costs of installing certain energy efficient systems in government buildings Contractors can qualify for tax deductions of up to $1.80 per square foot. Building envelope, HVAC and Hot Water Systems, and lighting can each
qualify for 1/3 of the deduction The tax incentives were authorized in the 2005 Energy Policy Act and enacted
as IRC Section 179D

Renewable Energy Project Potential
The Army prioritizes CONUS installations for Renewable Energy Development based on:
Resource potential State regulations Federal and State incentives Payback periods and levelized cost of electricity Regulatory considerations
Through existing authorities the Army will leverage private investment to install renewable energy
