• Combat readiness.

• Deployment/Re-deployment ability .

• Training.

• Health or safety.

• Construction projects.

The Energy Conservation Program shall be considered when planning and executing military operations and quality of life functions.

Energy resources are intensively monitored and managed. Decisions about energy conservation are based on sound economic analysis and common sense to manage our natural resources in the most cost effective and practical manner.

Energy efficiency and availability is a factor in the decision making process and is stressed in the design, development, procurement, operation of equipment weapon systems, and facilities.

The Surgeon General develops criteria for the Army medical department’s energy policies governing lighting, humidity, heating, and cooling.

Energy conservation awareness shall continuously be promoted at all levels to eliminate energy waste and reduce consumption.

3a

Electrical Because of the installation’s rapid growth, a greater demand is placed demand on utility systems and the resources to pay for them.

reduction Electrical use shall be limited, during the peak electrical demand (PED) period.

ATT R - 12 02.01.2016

Electrical Some practical ways to achieve reduction are:

demand reduction • Use clothes washers and dryers before 1300 or after 1600.

(continued)

• Perform electricity intensive operations outside the PED time frame whenever possible.

• Adhere to time restriction for watering lawns as described in the Fort Hood water conservation plan.

3b

Exceptions to Activities or units may request an exception to policy when unusual policy circumstances warrant exception in order to perform the installation mission.

Activities or units requesting an exception to policy must send a memorandum requesting an exception to policy to DPW, ATTN: Environmental Division (appendix B contains a sample). In the memorandum include organization name, address, POC with phone number and email, and justification for request. Upon receipt of request, the DPW, Environmental Division staff will conduct a field survey to determine the disposition of request. Once approved, facilities are permanently placed on file pending annual review by DPW, Environmental Division.

Note: If a change in mission is noted, DPW notifies the user of pending removal from the file list. The user will have 14 working days to reply with justification. Once removed, a facility must resubmit a request for an exception to policy.

3c

3g

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING PROCEDURES

Air vents, Obstructions (such as furniture or drapes) will not block vents, air ducts, and returns, and air ducts.

returns Blockage prevents efficient operation of the circulation system which increases energy consumption.

4a

Windows and Keep windows closed and open exterior doors as little as possible doors when the air conditioning or heating system is in use.

4b

Correcting Correct energy wasting deficiencies such as defective weather deficiencies stripping, broken windows, inoperative door closers, and defective thermostats.

If the unit self-help team cannot correct deficiencies, request assistance from DPW work reception (see appendix D for telephone numbers).

Family housing occupants must request repairs through the maintenance contractor (see appendix D for telephone numbers).

4c

ATT R - 15 02.01.2016

Filters Inspect filters at a minimum of once a month, replacing disposable filters at least every 90 days.

Clean permanent (nondisposable) filters according to instructions on the equipment.

• This task should be performed by the unit self-help team according to FH Regulation (REG) 420-27 (Care, Maintenance, and Alterations of Facilities), paragraph 3d.

• The maintenance contractor performs his task in Family housing quarters.

4d

Thermostats Thermostat settings must comply with the temperature requirements prescribed in appendix E (also see appendix F).

At the end of each working day in work areas where the thermostat is readily accessible, the occupant turns off the air conditioning or sets the heating thermostat to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (12.8 degrees Celsius) or lower.

The same policy applies when any facility is expected to be unoccupied for more than 8 hours, unless damage to the facility or its contents would result.

Turn off air conditioning equipment which is not controlled by a thermostat when the outside temperature is lower than 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.6 degrees Celsius).

Turn off heating equipment when the outside temperature is greater than 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18.3 degrees Celsius).

Do not locate heat generating appliances near thermostats.

• Operation of the heating or air conditioning equipment may be adversely affected by heat generated from the use of television sets, refrigerators, and other appliances.

4e

ATT R - 16 02.01.2016

Temperature Energy consumed for heating and cooling space will be carefully compliance controlled and monitored.

Appendix E illustrates the prescribed temperature ranges for various types of facilities.

All reasonable effort should be made to maintain temperatures that result in the least consumption of energy.

Appendix F illustrates the savings due to energy conservation.

If several occupied rooms are serviced by the same air duct system and temperature is controlled by a single thermostat, the lowest room space temperature determines compliance for heating and the highest room space temperature determines compliance for cooling.

4f

Thermal and Keep draperies and blinds closed on the sunny side of the building solar gain during the cooling season and open on sunny days during the heating season.

Turn off unwarranted lights to lessen the load for air conditioning systems.

4g

Supplemental Portable space heaters are prohibited.

equipment Electric space heaters may be permitted only when an exception to policy ( see paragraph 3b above) is granted in writing by DPW.

The criteria in AR 420-54 (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration), chapters 1 through 5, govern requests for supplemental or new air conditioning equipment.

Space temperature in buildings where thermostats are not accessible to occupants is checked by the DPW, Environmental Division during surveys.

Discrepancies are reported to the DPW work reception per FH Reg 420-27, appendix A.

WATER PROCEDURES

Routine Use Maintain faucets, valves, and bathroom fixtures in good repair. After each use, all faucets or valves must be closed. Water leaks from any source must be stopped promptly. Report leaks to the DPW work reception (see appendix D for telephone numbers). Pavement washing should be avoided (shovel or sweep away debris).

5a

Hot water Use hot water only when the task requires it. Administrative buildings with shower facilities are authorized hot water for those facilities. Water temperature will be regulated as prescribed in appendix E.

5b

Vehicle All military vehicles that require anything more than a superficial rinsing washing or maintenance-related cleaning are to be washed at a tactical vehicle wash facility (TVWF). Residents of Fort Hood may wash privately owned vehicles (POVs) at their home, minimizing water use and waste. All other commercial or government owned vehicles must be washed at a properly constructed car wash or wash rack. Charity or fund raising car wash events are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

5c

Landscape Lawn watering should be kept to a minimum. Consider the demand irrigation reduction policy prior to watering lawns. Lawn sprinklers should not be left operating unsupervised or in one spot as to cause excessive saturation or wasteful runoff. DPW water conservation policy is distributed by the DPW, Environmental Division concerning water usage during the summer.

5d

LIGHTING PROCEDURES

Conservation Turn off lights in unoccupied areas and use only the lighting essential to a particular endeavor. Exterior lighting must be “off” during daylight hours and must be reduced to the minimum essential for safety and security purposes as required by Field manual (FM) 19-30 (Physical

(continued on next page)

Attachment R - Energy Conservation Program

ATT R - 18 02.01.2016

Conservation Security), chapter 6. Reduce the wattage of lighting whenever (continued) possible, particularly in seldom used areas such as storage areas and utility rooms.

Lighting should be reduced by disconnecting nonessential lamps, ballasts, or fixtures.

The replacement of low-efficiency lamps with high-efficiency lamps should be implemented. Replace fluorescent tubes which are blackened on the ends (blackened tubes emit half the light of a new tube). Screw base CFL compact fluorescent lamps shall be used in lieu of screw base incandescent lamps.

Only DPW maintenance shops disassembles unneeded lighting fixtures or ballasts.

6a

Lighting Manage the lighting systems at indoor or outdoor athletic facilities to athletic prevent waste of electricity. Turn off unnecessary lighting during facilities periods when these facilities are unoccupied and when daylight is adequate. Lighting at outdoor athletic facilities should not be used for normal security or crime prevention purposes.

6b

Illumination The general illumination intensity requirements are prescribed in intensities appendix G. DPW will assist in determining the required intensities to provide a safe and productive environment.

6c

Ornamental Reasonable use of inside and outside electrical ornamental lighting is lighting authorized during the Christmas season. Lighting is only authorized in Family housing areas and public assembly areas designated by the Garrison Commander to exhibit the spirit of the season. Lighting arrangements should be kept to a reasonable minimum. All ornamental lighting must be turned off after 2300 and during daylight hours. To avoid the possibility of a fire, lighting should be carefully inspected, controlled, and monitored. The Christmas season is defined as the period between 1 December through 1 January.

6d

ATT R - 19 02.01.2016

UTILITY METERING

Individual Individual building metering is the best method to evaluate building buildings modifications, monitor energy consumption, and identify peak energy characteristics.

This information allows the DPW, Environmental Division to establish normal energy use patterns (baselines) for a particular building type.

These baselines are used to validate studies by comparing actual energy savings (resulting from conservation retrofit measures) with predicted energy savings.

7a

Metering data Metering data is disseminated among DPW maintenance shops to help identify equipment deficiencies. Metering data can also be used to instill competition within organizations and among units. This will help increase the facility users awareness of the energy they consume, which will further assist efforts to reduce energy consumption.

7b

Construction Utility meters shall be incorporated into all major new construction and projects retrofit projects per Installation Designed Guide (IDG) 2005.

7c

Metering Activities who reimburse Fort Hood for utilities will install meters in new criteria facilities and when existing, service lines are upgraded. For facilities serving activities which do not reimburse Fort Hood for utilities, metering devices will be installed in certain instances. All the facilities listed in appendix C will be considered for metering devices. Criteria in paragraphs 7e, 7f, 7g, and 7i below shall be used to determine which meters are required. If an electrical meter is deemed appropriate, a gas meter should be given strong consideration.

7d

Electric Electric metering is required when total electrical demand is greater metering than or equal to 48 kilowatts and estimated peak demand is greater criteria than or equal to 25 kilowatts.

7e

ATT R - 20 02.01.2016

Natural gas Natural gas metering is required when the total design flow rate is metering greater than 100 cubic feet (2.8 cubic meters) per hour and design criteria heating load is greater than 25 British thermal unit/square feet (BTU/SF) (293,056 Joules/square meter).

7f

Water Water metering is required when a design load is greater than or metering equal to 3 million gallons (11.34 million liters) a year.

criteria 7g

Remote Single point or multiple system telemetry (remote) metering should be metering considered for installation in lieu of standard metering devices.

Remote metering provides rapid and accurate meter reading with little or no additional manpower required to locate, record, and log utility readings.

Remote metering allows hourly meter readings which can be used to establish a facility’s daily operation energy profile. This profile can be used to determine low or no cost energy consumption reduction opportunities for potential energy savings.

7h

Chiller Provide an electrical KW meter and an appropriately sized chilled metering water flow meter for chillers for 50 TR or larger capacity. The readings of KW and /or TR (chilled water flow) shall be integrated into the UMCS system for monitoring and comparison of chiller cooling efficiency.

7i

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Safety All electrical appliances are subject to applicable safety regulations and FH Reg 420-1 (Fire Regulations), paragraph 2-22. Limit the use of electrical appliances for ornamental purposes such as aquariums, electric mobiles, disco lights.

ATT R - 21 02.01.2016

Safety • Use of specific ornamental appliances in areas of public assembly (continued) (i.e., clubs, day rooms, libraries) may be authorized by Commanders, Directors, and activity chiefs.

8a

Washers and Users are encouraged to use cold or warm water instead of hot water dryers for all laundry except white garments and heavily soiled fabrics.

Washers and dryers will not be overloaded or underloaded. Clear lint traps before drying each load. Electric washers and dryers will not be operated during the PED period.

8b

Refrigeration Do not keep refrigerator or freezer doors open longer than necessary.

worn or damaged gaskets must be replaced. Defrost refrigerator freezers regularly (frost over 1/4 inch (10 centimeters) thick acts as an insulator causing the refrigerator to work harder). Adjust the refrigerator thermostat to the minimum setting necessary, a mid-dial setting is usually adequate. Disconnect unnecessary or unused refrigeration equipment.

8c

FAMILY HOUSING

Occupants The use of kitchen ranges to supplement the heating system is prohibited.

Occupants departing their residence on vacations or other periods of absence longer than 8 hours will set thermostats to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius) for heating or 88 degrees (Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius) for air conditioning. If no damage to the quarters or its contents will occur, further measures can be taken such as turning off the heating and air conditioning systems, all electrical appliances, refrigeration equipment whenever prudent, and all interior lighting.

9a

ATT R - 22 02.01.2016

TRAINING

Energy Energy training is provided by DPW, Environmental Division.

training Training consists of establishing energy conservation programs, identifying energy conservation opportunities, and discussing energy consumption and trends. Requests for training should be submitted by calling the DPW, Environmental Division energy hot-line (see appendix D for telephone numbers) or by a memorandum to DPW, ATTN: Environmental Division.

10a

Building ECOs and BEMs should be familiar with specific methods and training energy available to identify and implement good energy conservation manager practices.

10b

AREAS OF SPECIAL EMPHASIS

Publicity Commanders, Directors, and activity chiefs should actively promote energy conservation. Bulletin boards, posters, and signs and regular training are ways to increase energy conservation awareness. Contact DPW, Energy Office for training materials.

11a

Temperature Space temperature compliance is determined by the average of measurement thermometer readings taken at the center of a room, 2 feet (0.0609 techniques meters) from each wall, 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) above the floor.

Hot water temperature compliance is determined by a single thermometer reading taken during normal hot water use from a tap at an average distance from the hot water tank.

11b

Commonly Extraordinary management of utilities is required at athletic fields and used areas courts, chapels, dining facilities, physical fitness centers, showering areas, laundry rooms, motor pools, and swimming pools.

11c

ATT R - 23 02.01.2016

Heating to air Since the heating and air conditioning transition periods require DPW conditioning to employ special crews for several weeks, the establishment of transition seasonal transition dates is necessary to efficiently manage resources.

• Heating is turned off beginning the third Monday of March.

• Air conditioning is turned on beginning the first Monday of May.

• Air conditioning is turned off beginning the second Monday of October.

• Heating is turned on beginning the first Monday of November.

Occupants may experience some temporary discomfort resulting from abnormal weather during the transition periods.

11d

Minimizing PED is the maximum amount of power demand at each of the four peak electrical electrical substations located on Fort Hood. PED occurs once during demand (PED) the year, usually around 1530 on a hot summer day when most air conditioners are running. Reduction of PED is one of the most profitable conservation measures because it affects Fort Hood utility costs for the entire year. The PED period occurs from 1 May through 30 September between the hours of 1300 to 1700.

The operation of high voltage (greater than 120 volts) electrical equipment which should be routinely avoided during all or some of the PED period is prescribed on FH Form 1073 by the ECOs. However, mission readiness and training are the installation’s primary concern and will not be compromised. It is extremely important to intensify efforts to eliminate energy waste and conserve electricity during PED.

ATT R - 24 02.01.2016

STORING AND DISPENSING PROCEDURES FOR PETROLEUM, OIL, AND

LUBRICANTS (POL) CONTAINERS

Mobility Mobility energy use includes all fuels used for transportation, research energy and development, training, and operational readiness on land, sea, and air. Effective energy conservation practices should be incorporated into all phases of training which use mobility fuels. The management plans herein are designed to reduce energy consumption of mobility fuels while maintaining readiness. If conservation programs should impact training readiness, the conflict is resolved outside this regulation. Training plans should consider energy conservation at all levels of the organization.

12a

Storage Store packaged petroleum products according to FM 10-69 (Petroleum Supply Point Equipment and Operations), chapter 16. Close partially full petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) product containers tightly at all openings to avoid contamination and spillage.

Grease containers should be tightly closed immediately after each dispensing to prevent contamination. POL cans of 1 gallon (4.55 liters) or less cannot be tightly closed because of the need to puncture the container in order to dispense the product. Puncturing (creating air holes) POL containers, which are provided with caps, bung plugs, and so forth, is prohibited because it causes undue waste by allowing product contamination and complicates the required turn-in of empty containers for recycle. Prevent fuel contamination regardless of use or storage method. Dispose of or use all contaminated fuels in accordance with FH Reg 200-1 (Environment and Natural Resources).

12b

Dispensing Basic loads are rotated by exchanging older products with fresher ones from the operational stock. Using the oldest product first prevents loss due to shelf life expiration or container deterioration.

Take necessary caution to prevent back surges and overflows when dispensing or transferring fuel.

12c

ATT R - 25 02.01.2016

MAINTENANCE

Equipment Intercept fuel by using funnels or drip catchers whenever equipment maintenance maintenance procedures generate waste, excess, or contaminated fuel. Store fuel in suitable containers until proper disposition can be made. Prevent fuel leaks through proper maintenance and careful operation of equipment. When leaks do occur, take prompt corrective action (turn off pumps and valves until leaking stops).

13a

Vehicle To ensure efficient fuel consumption, perform all scheduled maintenance maintenance including replacing all filters (air, fuel, and oil) and tuning vehicles according to their technical manuals (TMs). To confirm fuel economy, check vehicle logbook when refueling and calculate fuel consumption per mile or hour. When fuel consumption increases per mile or hour, schedule the vehicle for a maintenance check.

13b

TRANSPORTATION

Efficient use Schedule or arrange transportation to and from administrative of vehicles functions to minimize vehicle usage. Promote car pools within your unit or activity. Select vehicles according to the load they will carry (i.e., a heavy truck should not be used when a sedan could do the job). Do not leave the engine idling while a vehicle is being loaded, unloaded, or waiting. Use military vehicles for official purposes only.

Use available alternative fuels to reduce fleet petroleum consumption where allowed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to meet the goals of Energy Policy Act (EPACT) 2005 and Executive Order 13423.

Whenever possible, eliminate trips if results can be achieved by telephone. Conduct meetings using the conference features of the telephone system.

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN TRAINING

Fuel During ground training:

conservation actions • Limit operational training involving aircraft and other fuel consuming equipment without affecting operational readiness.

• Limit weapons and equipment demonstration to the absolute minimum required for training.

• Modify training plans to eliminate use of nonessential motorized equipment.

• Limit field training exercises and increase command post exercises consistent with readiness requirements.

• Maximize foot movement to training and administrative areas.

• Leave unit equipment on-site during field training rather than returning equipment to post each day.

• Extend the length of required field training exercises to maximize use of equipment once in place.

• Increase the use of classroom instructional training aids in lieu of hands-on training with motorized equipment.

ATT R - 27 02.01.2016

Fuel • Ensure that equipment operators are aware of energy conservation conservation practices during operation and maintenance of their equipment.

actions (continued) • Optimize the use of simulators and miniranges by incorporating their uses into the units training program.

• Keep energy intensive exercises to the minimum required to maintain combat readiness.

15a

Aviation Achieve tactical aircrew training manual (TATM) requirements using training minimal fuel. Accomplish TATM requirements of operational aviators in conjunction with administrative and operational missions to the maximum extent possible. Reduce aviator transition training to the minimum required to meet operational requirements. Minimize turnaround times during airmobile training by using the most direct route and nearest training areas. Maximize use of synthetic flight trainers and simulators.
