Energy Tec Apl Mil Fac
Abstract
This project 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. Work in this project supports the Army S&T Innovation Enablers (formerly Enduring Technologies) Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
