In the constrained budget environment of recent years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has placed increasing emphasis on enhancing installation & infrastructure management capabilities. Energy management is an important component of infrastructure management. DoD has a facility energy conservation goal of reducing consumption by 30 percent by the year 2005 (measured on a square foot basis from a 1985 baseline). At the same time, DoD is attempting to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, many of which have implications for energy management choices. However, shrinking defense budgets, downsizing & restructuring, & various management reforms are shifting emphasis away from energy management at DoD installations. This report documents RAND research assessing DoD's current capability to achieve energy policy goals at DoD installations. The authors identify what capability currently exists at DoD installations for implementing energy policy effectively & identify ways o enhance that capability through improved training & policy implementation.
DoD is the largest single energy using organization in the U.S. Achieving DoD's energy conservation goals has become increasingly important in a tight budget environment. This report documents Phase 1 of a larger study examining DoD's energy management capabilities and ways to enhance those capabilities. Energy management includes both technical (e.g., project design) and non-technical (e.g., education and awareness) activities. Based on extensive interviews of energy managers throughout DoD, we have identified several categories of factors affecting energy program success, including organizational factors, training and experience, communication and interactions, resources, and metrics and measuring. These areas suggest where energy policy emphasis should be placed.

Improved Energy Management in the Facility Design Process Should Reduce Operating Costs for DOD
The purpose of this report is to summarize issues identified in audit reports on DoD energy management of buildings and facilities. Energy efficiency and conservation is an area requiring effective management and emphasis because of rising energy prices and potential supply problems in the United States. DoD leads the Federal Government with approximately 2.2 billion square feet of facilities. In FY 2000, the energy bill for military installations exceeded $2.4 billion. Executive Order 13123, Greening the Government Through Efficient Energy Management, June 3, 1999, and the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002 require DoD to significantly improve its energy management and to report annually progress made toward achieving goals for reductions in energy consumption.
