Moderator: Damian Kelly, Technical Director and Project Manager, HDR, Inc. The federal government has, through a series of public laws, executive orders and presidential memorandums, set out an ambitious mandated program to address energy/water/waste/greenhouse gas reduction, a reduced dependence on fossil fuel, and increased usage in alternative fuels for federal agencies. The panelists from the Defense Distribution Center-Susquehanna and HDR share their experiences in accomplishing the mandates while integrating sustainability and net-zero energy planning at a Defense Logistics Agency installation over the past year. Sustainability topics discussed include sustainability components, component support activities, and a capital investment strategy and implementation plan. Net Zero Energy topics include energy reduction measures, “right-sizing” the GSA fleet using combinatorial optimization, recommending grid/islanded-connected micro-grid architecture/control, providing the resulting renewable energy solution, discussing feasible funding mechanisms, and incorporating all aspects of Net Zero into an implementation plan. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
