The Department of Defense DoD continues to make significant progress toward achieving the goals of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 EPAct 2005 and Executive Order EO 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental Energy and Transportation Management The DOD Energy Program initiatives include energy awareness efforts energy manager training audit programs procurement of energy efficient products and the use of sustainable design in new construction and major renovation Other contributing factors include integrated energy planning enhanced use of renewable energy demonstration of innovative technologies and the use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts ESPC and Utility Energy Service Contracts UESC DOD is responding to EPAct 2005 and EO 13423 Combined these mandates established a new energy baseline 2003 increased the annual reduction requirement to 3 percent per year increased the percentage of renewable energy required 7 5 percent by 2013 increased energy efficiency of new construction to 30 percent below the current standard and required metering electricity consumption of all facilities Through Fiscal Year FY 2007 the Department of Defense achieved a 10 1 percent decrease in goal facility energy consumption as measured on a British Thermal Units Btu per gross square foot GSF basis Btu GSF as compared to the revised 2003 baseline The Department of the Army determined that the square footage was over reported in 2003 compared to data contained in the real property database Therefore this book contains a significantly revised baseline which raises the previously reported Btu GSF from 113 510 to 116 134 At the end of FY 2007 the Department has 1 95 billion square feet of facilities and spent 3 4 billion on facility energy DoD spent 9 5 billion on non fleet vehicles and other equipment such as auto gasoline LPG Propane Aviation Gasoline jet fuel and Navy special fuel DOD continues to make progress in installing renewable energy technologies and purchasing electricity generated from renewable sources solar wind geothermal and biomass when life cycle cost effective The National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 codified a 2005 DOD goal to produce or procure renewable energy equivalent to 25 percent of facility electrical consumption The total renewable energy that the Department produced or procured in FY 2007 amounted to 12 054 trillion Btu and represents 11 9 percent of the facility electrical consumption For FY 2007 the Department of Energy revised the guidance for compliance with the renewable energy requirements of EPAct 2005 and EO 13423 allowing only renewable electricity Under this revised guidance DoD achieved 5 5 percent total and 3 3 percent new renewable energy well exceeding the goals of 3 percent and 1 5 percent respectively
