Improved Energy Management In The Facility Design Process Should Reduce Operating Costs For DOD

Abstract

Energy management methods used by the Department of Defense (DOD) in the design process do not insure that the most economical, energy efficient, new buildings are built for military use. While DOD has developed energy guidelines, set energy usage objectives (referred to by DOD as energy budgets), and required energy analyses of designs in order to reduce energy usage in new facilities, these actions are not insuring that energy reduction goals are being met.
