ENERGY TEC APL MIL FAC
Abstract
This program element (PE) investigates and evaluates technologies necessary for secure, energy efficient, sustainable military installations, emphasizing energy and utility systems protection in response to evolving needs. Energy technologies and processes are also applied to the Army's industrial base to maintain its cost-effective readiness for munitions production, training, and in the theater of operations to reduce logistical footprint. This effort provides technologies to protect facility indoor air quality from contaminants such as mold, bacteria and viruses in work and living spaces as well as develops methods to optimize sustainable energy generation and use including integration of renewable energy resources and approaches for the reduction of carbon footprint. In addition, technologies from this work provide a better understanding of critical infrastructure interdependencies. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
