Minimizing the Impact • Aggressively evaluating DeCA standards to reduce energy consumption • Evaluating lighting criteria • Evaluating HVAC and refrigeration control requirements • Validating facility square footages • Increased energy audits • Increase requests for ECIP funds • FY 2009 ECIP funding doubled compared to prior years
Energy & Environmental Program(FY 2007 Commissaries Only Energy Profile)
FY 2007 DeCA Energy Profile DeCA is currently not meeting Energy Reduction Goal
New Stores • New stores are currently not meeting the 30% energy reduction per square foot goal of 2015 • Designed prior to FY 2005 • New stores are increasing relative sales area, and adding additional refrigerated displays • Sales area has much higher energy usage per square foot compared to other areas • Higher Heating and Cooling energy requirements • Twice the lighting energy per square foot • More refrigerated displays
Cost Versus Consumption Electric rates ($/kWh) have increased 7.3% with an overall energy rate ($/MBtu) increase of 5% First quarter FY 2008 energy analysis projects an annual consumption per square foot increase of 0.8% from FY 2007

"Top 5“Things Store Directors Can Do to Ensure They Are Conserving Energy
Conserve Energy Treat your store as you would your home relative to how your employees, vendor stockers and baggers use energy and water Show all your employees, vendor stockers, and baggers the DeCA 12 minute video “Put Yourself in the DeCA Energy Efficiency Picture” Turn off ½ of sales area lights (where possible) and refrigerated case lights during stocking hours Have employees turn off lights when they leave the area (office, break room, rest room, prep room, freezer, and cooler) CLOSE freezer and cooler doors, sales area doors to the warehouse and warehouse receiving doors CLOSED when not receiving or stocking
