The Fort Buchanan Energy Conservation Strategy.As a Federal Installation, the US Army Garrison Fort Buchanan (USAGFB) is subject to various regulations requiring

energy conservation, to include: Executive Orders, Energy Policy Act and Army Regulations for Energy Conservation

/Facilities Management. These energy conservation goals to reduce consumption intensity by 30% total by the end of

FY2030 and 36% for water, through the end of FY2025. Meanwhile, it also establishes Federal sustainability goals for

the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by increasing to 15% of renewable energy generation by FY2020.

The USAGFB Energy Conservation Strategy seeks to support the mission by ensuring energy security and modernizing

its infrastructure while conserving energy and controlling utility costs whenever possible. In alignment with the Army

Reserve Energy Security Implementation Strategy, USAGFB sustains its efforts towards Energy Conservation and

efficiency while strengthening its program foundation and developing additional renewable and alternative energy

infrastructure projects. Improved environmental performance will help us protect our planet for future generations and

save taxpayer dollars through avoided energy costs and increased efficiency, while also making our Installation more

resilient.

The Fort Buchanan Energy Savings

Performance Contract (ESPC 1&2)

projects thru the proposed 22 Energy

Conservation Measures (ECMs), installed

photovoltaic arrays, solar water heaters,

water conservation fixtures, rain water

harvesting systems, water wells, water

reservoirs, lighting systems, high-efficiency

ventilation and air conditioning systems,

energy management control systems,

building envelope improvements and wind

turbines.

. “SUSTAIN THE MISSION,

SECURE THE FUTURE” ...the Army strategy for the

Environment,

has made it possible for USAGFB to integrate its

Environmental Management System (EMS), at

Installation-wide activities to sustainability

initiatives and has chosen to refer to its EMS-ISO

14001:2004 conformant system, as the

“Sustainability and Environmental Management

System” (SEMS). The SEMS identified

environmental aspects arising from our mission

impacts and developed several Environmental

Management Action Plans (EMAPS). These

EMAPS established objectives and targets for

identified aspects that the Garrison can control or

influence under action plans, such as the Energy

Security & Conservation (EMAP#3) and the Water

Conservation (EMAP#4). This plays an important

role in building a sustainable installation. At home,

school and at work , we can make changes that will

help preserve our resources for future generations.

Many individuals and entire communities have

already begun. Find out how you can do your part!.

What are the benefits…Alternative financing vehicles are the government’s answer to comply with standing energy conservation and

green energy requirements. Under this formula the ESPC projects’ energy conservation measures (ECMs)

have yielded yearly energy savings totaling $3 million dollars, a reduction in energy use intensity of 36.4

percent. This achievement reflects the contributions of completed renewable energy sources totaling 6.4

Megawatts. The current renewable energy (RE) production offsets our utility power dependency by 21

percent, well over the Energy Policy Act required 15 percent by FY2020.
