Energy Culture in the Air Force: Installation Energy Management Reorganization
Abstract
Air Force energy demand, in concert with the growing economic and environmental concerns the U.S. continues to face, calls for a sustainable energy culture inherent in every mission and at every level of the Air Force organization. The Air Force organization has experienced and highly skilled Airmen, innovative process improvement programs, and a strategic framework to initiate an energy culture change. The energy investment focus has overshadowed the need for an energy culture change to sustain the energy initiatives and create a lasting energy vision for the future. The Air Force must reorganize the installation level energy program, moving the base energy manager to the Wing Staff, and empower the base energy manager with the authority and personal systems approach skills to influence an energy culture change at the installation level. With the base energy manager on their Wing Staff, the Wing Commander can better communicate, provide support, and reinforce the strategic energy vision to the Airmen. Understanding the effects of Airman s decisions on the Air Force energy system can influence a positive energy culture change in the Air Force.
