Topics for Today’s Session:
Headquarters U.S. Air Force
Integrity | Service | Excellence
1. Air and space superiority, cyber assurance Air superiority foundational to joint operations Domains likely to be most contested in future
2. Intelligence, surveillance,
reconnaissance (ISR) Maximizing battlespace awareness ~60 RPA patrols, ~1,200 hrs full-motion
video/day
3. Rapid global mobility 1M+ airlift & tanker sorties in Mideast One airlift sortie every two minutes, 24/7/365 97% aeromedical evacuation survival rate
4. Global strike
Hold any target on planet at risk Two-thirds of America’s nuclear triad
5. Command & control
Integrates them all
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win…in air, space and cyberspace. “ ”

The Department of Defense’s vision of sustainability is to maintain the ability to operate into the future without decline – either in the mission or in the natural and manufactured systems that support it.”

Strategic Sustainability Objectives and Goals
Four Overarching Objectives Continued availability of critical resources Readiness maintained in the face of climate change Minimize waste and pollution Sustainability practices become the norm
Seven Individual Goals with Associated Sub-Goals Energy/renewables, water conservation, pollution
prevention and waste management are foundational elements of Air Force sustainability
Emphasize return on investment and life cycle benefits of initiatives
Performance-based targets and metrics
Headquarters U.S. Air Force

Examples of Air Force Sustainability initiatives alignment with SecAF Priorities Aligned
Make Every Dollar Count
Care for Airmen, Communities
Balance Readiness with Modernization
Energy Use Facility energy ↓ 22.3%. Mobility jet-fuel efficiency ↑. $2.5 billion avoided energy costs (both jet fuel and electricity)
Water and Waste Potable water ↓ 21.9%. 48% municipal solid waste and 80% construction & demolition debris diverted from landfill.
Renewable Energy Nearly 300 renewable projects on 100 installations, all at or below grid prices
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Scope 1 & 2 GHGs reduced by 19.2%

The Problem
AF Installations: Too big, too old, too costly to operate ~30% excess infrastructure capacity Average facility: 40+ years old, many much older Infrastructure re-investment 33% below historical averages $12 Billion backlog in restoration & modernization projects
Spend more Reduce
Costs
Simple math tells us we can make installations more affordable and viable by :
Spending More or Reducing Costs
Where does sustainability fit on that scale?

Prioritizing facility investments
Projects are prioritized by likelihood of failure and mission criticality
Thus, individual “green” projects to meet goals don’t often make the cut

Example: MacDill Air Force Base Energy Efficiency Retrofits
Self-Investment to Reduce Cost Metering to understand use, identify reduction
opportunities Over 95% of electricity usage metered at building level Over 98% of natural gas usage metered at building level Wireless communication
Transition to LED lighting: Lighting approximately 22% of MacDill AFB total electric load Transition to LEDs expected to result in 13% energy reduction
High Efficiency Chillers

These Demonstrate Great Successes and Progress!
But with over 49,000 Air Force facilities on our installations worldwide, we will
not become “sustainable” with a building-by-building approach!
Headquarters U.S. Air Force
Integrity | Service | Excellence
Integrated Planning for Sustainability?
Traditional approach: Take action to incorporate sustainability on a facility-
by-facility basis Measure, track and report performance on a facility-
by-facility basis Favors new construction as a solution for
sustainability…what about existing building stock?
Headquarters U.S. Air Force

We Need: Integrated Planning for Sustainable Installations!
So how are we integrating sustainability into installation planning processes? Identify Desired Outcomes for Planning: Strategic Sustainability
Performance Plan (SSPP) Installation Sustainability Management System (ISMS) Pilot Initiative Installation Development Plans and Sustainable Development
Indicators Installation Complex Encroachment Management Action Plans
(ICEMAPs) Community Partnerships

Installation Development Plans and Sustainable Development Indicators
Installation Development Plans (IDPs) guide development on Air Force installations
Include Sustainability Development Indicators (SDIs) introduce sustainability concepts into IDPs
SDI metrics can be used as measurement and predictive tools for planning actions
Climate vulnerability recently added under the External Sustainability category
IDPs and SDIs – Guiding Sustainable Development

Installation Complex Encroachment Management Action Plans (ICEMAPs)
Encroachment on installations, test and training ranges, airspace and electromagnetic spectrum is a critical issue for the Air Force
ICEMAPs provide consistent framework to identify, mitigate and prevent encroachment impacts – internal and external to the fenceline
13 encroachment and sustainment challenge areas
Over 70 ICEMAPs complete or in progress

Community Partnerships (P4): Leverage Private Sector Services, Practices and Products to Reduce Mutual Operating/Service Costs
49 participating bases and communities 1000 initiatives underway Potential Value/Benefit: ~$160M FY15-20

Conclusion
OUR JOB…. 1. Ensure we have ready, reliable, resilient installations to enable our
mission and our people 2. Increase the affordability, viability and sustainability of our
installations 3. Continue to look for opportunities to right size installations
HOW WILL WE DO IT?
Integrate sustainability into installations planning…and then execute the plan!

Base Realignment & Closure
10% reduction in Air Force personnel and planned aircraft since ’04
1% reduction infrastructure since ‘04
30% excess infrastructure capacity requiring investment to maintain & operate
26
The spreading of fewer personnel and aircraft has led to smaller squadron sizes and less investment per installation
BRAC is hard on Communities, but there is also help
BRAC Provides economic support to impacted communities
The Air Force supports a new BRAC round to right-size our installations
BRAC is the Most Comprehensive, Transparent and Collaborative Way to Align Infrastructure with our Mission

Demolition
Demolition supports the Air Force need to right-size our infrastructure by eliminating low value/poor condition facilities
Since 2006 the Air Force has demolished 44M square feet of aging building space that was excess to need
AF plan in FY16 calls for 1.1M square feet of demolition to eliminate nearly $200M of Plant Replacement Value
