Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
• 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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
• 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

Installation Master Planning Process
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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.
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
• 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.

Energy Reductions Achieved by the Master Plan at Schofield Barracks
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
• 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?
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
Meet federal planning mandates for maintaining
energy, water, waste, and storm water usage
optimization through data collection and analysis.

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.
