The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) works continuously to cut energy costs and protect the environment by building energy-efficient stores, monitoring and reducing energy consumption, and recycling plastic, wood and paper products.
Our program includes energy audits, designs and retrofits; energy management training for store-level energy supervisors; improved design criteria; a Web-based energy data reporting system; and region utility efficiency task forces and partnerships with the Department of Energy.
From the water we use, the energy that powers our stores, and the solid waste we generate, environmental performance is key to our continued success. Our improved environmental performance conserves natural resources, enhances quality of life, and improves operating efficiencies.
DeCA has partnered with ENERGY STAR in order to increase consumer awareness and provide ENERGY STAR approved products in Commissaries. The ENERGY STAR web site provides a wealth of information you can use to save energy, save money and help protect our environment.
Simple activities like turning off lights or adjusting thermostats can save as much as $8,000 dollars per year in an average commissary! Get the facts and take the trivia quiz.
