  1. Review Strawman Roadmaps and Potential Technology Projectsfor Sustainable Installations Initiative Sustainable Infrastructure Tom Broadwater National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence

  2. A Sustainable Installation... • Optimizes military training • Provides for the well-being of soldiers and families • Great Facilities • Strong cultural/community services • Has a mutually-beneficial relationship with the local community • Is life-cycle cost-effective to operate • Systematically decreases its dependence: • on fossil fuels and mining; • on non-biodegradable and toxic compounds; • Does not use resources faster than nature can regenerate them; • Operates within its “fair share” of earth’s resources

  3. Purposeof Sustainable Installations Initiative (SII) Technology Workshop Series The ultimate deliverables from a series of three workshops will be: • Technology roadmaps that demonstrate which existing technologies can be applied, in what order, and at what cost benefit to reach the 25-year sustainability goals established by the installations, • Potential demonstration projects with partnering agencies; and • Identification of gaps in existing organizational framework and technologies (needs statements).

  4. Sustainable Installations InitiativeWorkshop Series • Installation Focus • Installations with Established/Mature Sustainability Programs • Potential Expansion to other Installations as Programs Mature Outcome You Are Here • Workshop #1 • Army Research Office • April 28, 2005 • Technology Roadmap Hierarchy • Technology Needs Baseline Outcome • Potential Demonstration Projects • Near-, mid-, and long-term (R&D) Needs • Initial Technology Roadmap • Who: Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners, IMA, ACSIM, ODEP, ARO, Others • What: Use Findings of “Pilot” Assessment Database and Installation Data Calls as a Starting Point for Baseline (Recent ISP Data) • Workshop #2 • DoD/EPA Region 4 Conference • June 29-30, 2005 • Technology Starts • Technology Roadmap(s) • Demonstration Projects for NDCEE • Workshop #3 • Tentative Fort Bragg • Fall 2005 • What: Use Roadmap Hierarchy and Technology Needs Baseline to Align Potential Demonstration Opportunities with Installation Objectives • Who: Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners and other interests, DOD, EPA, DOE, State, Industry Technology Providers • Who: Federal Agency & Industry Technology Experts, Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners & HQ Personnel • What: Use Initial Roadmap & Populate Requirements (near through long term) • Coordinated Approach • Matching Vetted Technology Needs with Solution Providers • Facilitating a Process Aligned with RDT&E Outcome

  5. Purposeof SII Technology Workshop #2 The deliverables that this workshop needs to develop are: (1) Next iteration of installation sustainability technology roadmaps, (2) High priority potential technology field demonstration projects, and (3) Identification of potential technology partners that support installation sustainability goals and strategies.

  7. Sustainable Infrastructure Goal –improve occupant comfort and productivity, use a quarter to a tenth of the water and energy of typical construction, use renewable/secure energy, and improve water quality • High Performance Building Technologies • Renewable/SecureEnergy Technologies • Water Resources Management Strategies:

  8. Objectives from Installation Plans Sustainable Infrastructure Technology Roadmap Summary – Results from WS#1 100% Planned Facilities Meet LEED Silver/Gold Standard Develop Tracking Mechanism to Optimize Sustainable Design Development (SDD) Features Use of Innovative Energy Systems – Solar Panels/Walls, HVAC Equipment Building Deconstruction, Reuse, Recycling of Building Materials Water Conservation, Recycling, Reuse & High Quality Water Cycles Develop prototype design sustainable installation linked to simulation capability R&D Needs Develop regional planning tool - major construction projects to LEED standards Strategy Identify sustainable building materials costing < or = to current building materials High Performance Buildings Develop reusable – “plug and play” building modules 2005 2010 Proposed Tech Demo Projects Continuous commissioning with monitoring measures and verification – Linked to environmental/energy/sustainability management systems

  9. Objectives from Installation Plans Sustainable Infrastructure Technology Roadmap Summary – Results from WS#1 Purchase Green Power Reduce Grid/Fossil Fuel Dependence Using Alternative Distribution Systems Generate Energy on Post/COGEN/Use of Landfill Gas for Heating, Lighting Renewable Energy/Lighting/Utility Technologies in Remote Areas Assess Wind, Biomass, Fuel Cells, and Other Renewable Energy Technologies Identification of current and emerging alternative energy sources and where they would be applicable on the installation; focused by process, activity, location, and installation. Develop a multi-layer modeling capability with input of candidate energy generation devices/capabilities and output of a predictive energy map showing capability and costs over time. R&D Needs Strategy Technologies to harness 1st order energy sources, their interface with distributed power generation, building design, traditional distribution, storage, and metering. Renewable & Secure Energy 2010 2005 Develop predictive model for installation energy bootprint Proposed Tech Demo Projects Develop renewable energy retrofits for older and historic facilities Demonstrate potential for solar powered roofs & off grid physical security lighting Demonstrate waste to energy opportunities for clean, sustainable, secure energy

  10. Objectives from Installation Plans Sustainable Infrastructure Technology Roadmap Summary – Results from WS#1 Water Conservation, Recycling, Reuse & High Quality Water Cycles Use Gray Water Use Rainwater Catchments Monitor Water Consumption Innovative Landscaping and Parking Lot Technologies On-Site Recharge of All Storm Water Manage Remote Area Wastewater Using Constructed Wetlands Technologies to Eliminate Pollutant Discharge R&D Needs Low Impact Development – Making old infrastructure work to reduce water use Strategy Water Resources Management 2010 2005 Demonstrate effectiveness of living machines Demonstrate noninvasive technique for water pipe leak detection Proposed Tech Demo Projects Demonstrate noninvasive inexpensive water metering Demonstrate point source water recycle/reuse technologies Demonstrate Low Impact Development opportunities for on-site water recharge
