The goals of the Army's Energy and Water Strategy are to:
- Eliminate/Reduce energy waste in existing facilities;
- Increase energy efficiency in new/renovated construction;
- Reduce dependence on fossil fuels;
- Conserve water resources; and
- Improve energy security.
Vision
The Army envisions providing secure, efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy and water services coupled with equitable, effective, and proficient management of commodities and site infrastructure to fully support the mission of installations and surrounding communities.
Guiding Principles of Operation
Holistic - Explore the full context, global view of impacts; look beyond face value economics; include review of sources and sinks, environmental impacts, productivity, quality of life, and safety; employ full life cycle cost analysis and source energy accounting.
Responsible - Be mindful of the taxpayer; use resources (natural, monetary and others) efficiently and thoughtfully; ensure sound stewardship in management of systems; consolidate and streamline processes, form complimentary partnerships and employ alternative financing to leverage combined resources and exploit regional economies.
Progressive - Foster markets for new and emerging technologies by being early adopters; stay apprised of best business practices, dare to be innovative, bring multiple and diverse resources to bear on challenging problems, and make full use of information networking technology.
Sustainable - Meet the needs of the present mission without compromising choices and standards of living of future generations - secure persistent, clean, and affordable resources to maintain the mission while demanding systematic consideration of environmental impact, natural resources, economy, and quality of life.
