BULLSEYE News October 14, 2011 Turn Energy Awareness into Action By Jennifer elmore Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Airmen across the Air Force are joining the nation to observe Energy Awareness Month, which is annually celebrated in October. This year’s theme, “Power the Force, Fuel the Fight,” encourages everyone to do more than just be “aware.” Instead, military personnel and civilians alike should take action. “The Air Force is making excellent progress toward satisfying federal energy mandates,” said Rick Stacey, Air Force Facility Energy Center chief, who works in a division of the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. “Some of the more prominent goals require us to reduce energy intensity 30 percent by 2015, reduce water intensity 26 percent by 2020 and increase renewable energy to 25 percent of all electricity use by 2025. But as time goes by, the goals are getting tougher. We need everyone doing all they can to help the Air Force continue our energy program successes.” The Air Force has reduced energy use nearly 15 percent, reduced its water consumption 11 percent and has used renewable sources for more than six percent of all its electricity needs since 2003. To meet these newer, more demanding goals, the Air Force energy strategy is to reduce demand, increase supply and change the culture. Reduce demand The Air Force uses facility energy audits, utility meters, energy recommissioning and a variety of other tools to pursue aggressive reduction targets. At Kirtland AFB, N.M., audits led to an upgraded energy management control system that is expected to save $3.7 million over the lifetime of the system. Newly installed meters at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. allowed for better resource management and generated $2 million of new revenue through more accurate billing of non-Department of Defense tenants. And Air Combat Command’s facility recommissioning, or building “tune-up,” program incurred enough energy savings to cut $433,000 from utility bills in 2010. Increase supply The Air Force leads the Department of Defense as the number one producer and user of renewable energy. More than six percent of the Air Force’s electric supply comes from on-base renewable energy projects including wind, solar, geothermal and landfill gas. “We are evaluating ways to expand our portfolio to include waste-to-energy and biomass projects as we work toward producing 25 percent renewable energy by 2025,” said Ken Gray, AFFEC Rates and Renewable Branch chief. Two new wind turbines will come online this fall at the Massachusetts Military Reservation. Additionally, construction will soon begin on a 14-megawatt solar array at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. Change the culture Our success, our ability to truly change the Air Force culture and develop a new mindset when it comes to energy, depends on each Airman. “Each individual can and must contribute,” said Stacey. “No matter how small or how large the action, people will ultimately make the difference. Take a moment to turn off lights and appliances when not in use; make saving energy and water a habit every day; and encourage your family, friends and co-workers to do their part, too.” Take “ACTION” this Energy Awareness Month. A-C-T-I-O-N stands for: Appliance reduction, Computer log off, Temperature set points, Inform facility managers, Outdoor conservation and No waste. These are easy steps that can yield positive results for the community and the Air Force. OctOber is energy AwAreness MOnth • Appliance reduction – Look around the workspace. Is there a refrigerator or coffee maker nearby? How many personal appliances can be removed or consolidated in common areas, like a break room? Reducing energy usage by reducing the number of appliances and machines available can yield significant energy savings. For example, in an evaluation of just two buildings at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, the base energy manager found a staggering 810 appliances that could be unplugged or eliminated. The list included radios, fans, refrigerators, coffee makers, microwaves and toasters. • Computer log off – Everyone should log-off at the end of the day. This ensures that computers will enter energy-saving sleep mode. The Air Force Information Technology Power Management Team estimates this action alone can save more than $10 million a year. • Temperature Control – Climate control set points can have a major impact on energy use. Most bases use settings of 68 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer. Heating and cooling systems are not perfect, so workspaces may not be at optimum comfort temperatures. Rather than increasing energy demand with space heaters or fans, dress appropriately for the temperature. If the building is too cool in the summer or too hot in the winter, the thermostat could be set incorrectly, which means the Air Force is wasting energy. • Inform the facility manager – Report incorrect temperature set points, leaky faucets, blocked air vents, cracked windows and other problems to the facility manager or civil engineering customer service. • Outdoor conservation – If a broken sprinkler head is wasting water or area lights are left on in a parking lot during the day, report it to the local Civil Engineer Customer Service. • No waste – Do not turn a blind eye to problems. If something is on that does not need to be, turn it off. If there is a problem, report it. All military personnel and civilians should review their daily routines to conserve energy and water, and they should empower themselves and others to take action. Every dollar saved on energy is a dollar that can be spent to “Power the Force, Fuel the Fight.”
