facilities sustainment, restoration, & modernization plan

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE / RECOVERY ACT
FACILITIES SUSTAINMENT, RESTORATION, & MODERNIZATION PROGRAM PLAN
Components have developed subordinate policies for implementing the legislative and
Executive Order requirements as well. For example, each of the three Military
Departments (i.e., Navy/Marine Corps, Air Force, and Army) has a policy that includes
using the ability to attain Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design LEED Silver
Certification as a basis for new construction sustainability; a metering implementation plan;
an energy professional training program; and awareness and award programs. The
Department has developed and implemented Unified Facilities Criteria to ensure new
construction and major renovation projects comply with applicable requirements and goals.
The DoD Energy Program also includes initiatives for audit programs and procurement of
energy-efficient products. Other contributing factors include integrated energy planning,
enhanced use of renewable energy, and demonstration of innovative technologies. Finally,
the Department coordinates internal programs with the Department of Energy (DoE) and
leverages DoE programs for demonstration, testing, and evaluation of promising new
technologies.
