Review Strawman Roadmaps and Potential Technology Projectsfor Sustainable Installations Initiative Sustainable Acquisition and ProcurementTom BroadwaterNational Defense Center for Environmental ExcellenceA Sustainable Installation...•Optimizes military training•Provides for the well-being of soldiers and families–Great Facilities –Strong cultural/community services•Has a mutually-beneficial relationship with the local community•Is life-cycle cost-effective to operate•Systematically decreases its dependence:–on fossil fuels and mining;–on non-biodegradable and toxic compounds;•Does not use resources faster than nature can regenerate them;•Operates within its “fair share” of earth’s resourcesPurposeof Sustainable Installations Initiative (SII) Technology Workshop SeriesThe ultimate deliverables from a series of three workshops will be: Technology roadmaps that demonstrate which existingtechnologies can be applied, in what order, and at what cost benefit to reach the 25-year sustainability goalsestablished by the installations, Potential demonstration projects with partnering agencies; and Identification of gaps in existing organizational framework and technologies (needs statements).Sustainable Installations InitiativeWorkshop SeriesWorkshop #1•Army Research Office•April 28, 2005•Who:Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners, IMA, ACSIM, ODEP, ARO, Others•What:Use Findings of “Pilot” Assessment Database and Installation Data Calls as a Starting Point for Baseline (Recent ISP Data)•Technology Roadmap Hierarchy•Technology Needs BaselineWorkshop #2•DoD/EPA Region 4 Conference•June 29-30, 2005•What:Use Roadmap Hierarchy and Technology Needs Baseline to Align Potential Demonstration Opportunities with Installation Objectives•Who:Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners and other interests, DOD, EPA, DOE, State, Industry Technology ProvidersWorkshop #3•Tentative Fort Bragg•Fall 2005•Potential Demonstration Projects •Near-, mid-, and long-term (R&D) Needs•Initial Technology Roadmap•Who:Federal Agency & Industry Technology Experts, Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners & HQ Personnel•What:Use Initial Roadmap & Populate Requirements (near through long term)•Technology Starts•Technology Roadmap(s)•Demonstration Projects for NDCEEInstallation Focus-Installations with Established/Mature Sustainability Programs-Potential Expansion to other Installations as Programs MatureCoordinated Approach-Matching Vetted Technology Needs with Solution Providers-Facilitating a Process Aligned with RDT&E OutcomeOutcomeOutcomeYou Are HereThe deliverablesthat this workshop needs to develop are:(1)Next iteration of installation sustainability technology roadmaps, (2)High priority potential technology field demonstration projects, and(3)Identification of potential technology partnersthat support installation sustainability goals and strategies.
