SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
WASHINGTON
MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
0 1 AUG 2014
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-22 (Establishment of the Office of Energy Initiatives)
1. References:
a. Memorandum, Secretary of the Army, 29 Aug 2011, subject: Directive for Energy
Initiatives Office - Task Force.
b. Memorandum, Secretary of the Army, 19 Apr 2013, subject: 1-Year Extension of
the Energy Initiatives Task Force.
c. Memorandum, SAFM-CE, 18 May 201 1, subject: Review of Cost Benefit
Analysis (CBA) for Energy Initiatives Office (CBARB #493).
2. The Army is making significant progress toward advancing the energy security of our
installations to meet mission requirements and comply with congressional and
Presidential mandates to increase the use of renewable energy. We specifically
recognized the critical role renewable energy plays in long-term predictability and
sustainability. To galvanize our efforts, I directed the formation of the Energy Initiatives
Task Force (EITF) in 2011. As a result of its significant progress over the first year of
operation, I extended the EITF through fiscal year 2014.
3. Over the past three years, the EITF has guided more than 175 megawatts of
privately financed renewable energy projects through procurement at multiple
installations. Every project is expected to realize future cost avoidances and enhance
the energy security of the installation. In addition, the EITF has developed a healthy
pipeline of large-scale renewable energy projects with over 500 megawatts of additional
opportunities under assessment, including more than a dozen Army National Guard and
U.S. Army Reserve sites. The EITF has proven to be a sound investment with
substantial returns for the Army, attracting private capital to develop cost-effective,
large-scale renewable and alternative energy projects.
4. Effective 1 October 2014, I am establishing the Office of Energy Initiatives (OEI) as
an enduring organization within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Installations, Energy and Environment) (ASA (IE&E)). The OEI will serve as the Army's
central management office for the development, implementation and oversight of all
privately financed, large-scale (greater than or equal to 10 megawatts) renewable and
alternative energy projects.
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-22 (Establishment of the Office of Energy Initiatives)
5. The OEI will leverage and expand on the momentum and early successes the EITF
garnered to position the Army to meet the congressionally directed goal that 25 percent
of our energy comes from renewable sources by 2025, as well as the President's goal
that the Army deploy one gigawatt of renewable energy by 2025.
6. The business case analysis for the OEI, as validated by the Office of the Assistant
Secretary of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller), recognized annual
resource requirements for nine civilian personnel and $28.4 million in funding. Given
the fiscal constraints and resulting program reductions confronting the Army, the ASA
(IE&E) reprioritized functions and reduced the scope of the projects in the business
case analysis. Adjusted requirements are five civilians and $21 million in funding. The
ASA (IE&E) will resource the five civilian authorizations internally. The Installations
Program Evaluation Group will rebalance the energy investments to fund the $21 million
for the OEI, but a funding bridge of $13 million is required for fiscal year 2015. Funding
for this shortfall is a priority and will be reprogrammed in the year of execution from
within the energy investments. This funding and manning strategy is a prudent use of
resources and negates the requirement for a concept plan to establish the OEI.
7. The President recently submitted his fiscal year 2015 budget to Congress. In it, he
specifically mentioned American energy and, in particular, renewable energy. We know
we will face many budgetary challenges in the coming years, but we will be in a better
position to predict and manage our utility costs and meet our mandates with a continued
focus on long-term renewable energy initiatives. Our investment now ensures future
energy security to achieve our missions.
8. The Office of the ASA (IE&E) is the proponent for this guidance and will incorporate
the provisions of this directive into the appropriate administrative publications as soon
as possible.

ARMY DIR 2014-10 ADVANCED METERING OF UTILITIES

https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/NOCASE-ARMY_DIR_2014-10-000-WEB-0.pdf

 SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
WASHINGTON
MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-10 (Advanced Metering of Utilities)
0 4 JUN 2014
1. Purpose. This directive establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for installing
advanced meters on utility systems. Related references are at the enclosure .
2. Applicability. This policy applies to all permanent Active Army, Army National Guard
and U.S. Army Reserve installations, sites and facilities operated and/or maintained by
Federal funds in and outside the continental United States, hereafter referred to as
"installations." This policy does not apply to contingency bases or Civil Works facilities .
For the purposes of this policy, a "facility" is defined as any building that is owned ,
constructed, renovated, leased or purchased in part or in whole for use by the Federal
Government or any building that receives Federal funds to support utility expenses.
3. Policy
a. The Army's policy is to appropriately manage our natural resources (references a
and b). An essential part of managing those resources is to quantitatively determine
how much energy and water we are using through the use of advanced meters
(references c and f) . Advanced meters are electronic meters that, at a minimum, have
the capability to measure and record use at regular intervals and communicate that data
to the Army's enterprise Meter Data Management System (MOMS) (references h and i).
Accurate meter data is fundamental to the Army's ability to identify cost-effective energy
and water investments and greatly reduces the personnel time associated with manually
entering and reporting utility data (reference g). Advanced meters and MOMS must
comply with Department of Defense guidance on cybersecurity and the risk
management framework for information technology (references d and e) . Additional
information on utilities metering is in references j and k.
b. The Army will maximize the effect of its investment in advanced meters and
minimize the overall cost of purchasing and installing meters. Strategies that must be
considered include:
(1) ensuring that meters provide only the necessary capability for the targeted
application . Utility-grade meters capable of measuring harmonics, power factors ,
reactive power and other advanced capabilities may not be necessary for many facilities
covered by this directive.
(2) leveraging the use of building automation systems or energy management
control systems where possible.
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-10 (Advanced Metering of Utilities)
(3) fitting existing analog meters with pulse counters that can communicate with
MOMS.
(4) contracting for meter installation across multiple installations, which may
provide cost savings through the use of larger contracts.
(5) incorporating meters in larger capital improvement projects. Advanced
meters will be installed and connected to MOMS on all new construction projects , major
renovation projects, Energy Conservation Investment Program projects and third-party
financed projects . Major renovation projects include changes to a building that provide
significant opportunities to improve energy and water efficiency. These projects may
include, but are not limited to, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning; lighting; building
envelope; and other building components that have a major effect on energy and water
use.
(6) coordinating with all utility privatization , Residential Communities Initiative
and Privatized Army Lodging vendors to leverage existing meter data.
c. Utility meters with remote communications capability must be installed in each
building for each utility serving the building (for example, district steam, district hot and
chilled water, electricity, natural gas, water or fuel oil) in the appropriate standard units
of measure (kilowatt-hour, kilowatt, cubic feet, gallons, etc.) to capture the consumption
levels prescribed in paragraphs 3c(1 )-(4) where it is cost-effective, as determined by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Meter Program Manager and approved by the Office
of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM). The Meter
Program Manager will evaluate cost-effectiveness on a case-by-case basis. In doing
so, the manager will consider not only the initial cost of meter installation, but the value
and benefit from the use of meter data to identify and execute energy- and cost-saving
projects.
(1) Electricity. Advanced meters will be installed in individual facilities to
accurately capture a minimum of 60 percent of electricity use by 2020 with a goal of
85 percent at the installation level by the end of fiscal year 2020, based on available
funding.
(a) Energy-intensive facilities should be submetered where practical to identify
electricity use by individual tenants and high-use operations or processes, such as data
centers, laboratories and manufacturing processes. Major mechanical and electrical
subsystems also should be submetered.
(b) Operational energy uses will be metered where practical. "Operational
energy" is defined as the energy required for training, moving and sustaining military
forces and weapons platforms for military operations. The term includes energy used
2
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-10 (Advanced Metering of Utilities)
by tactical power systems, generators and weapons platforms. Examples of training
uses of operational energy are range complexes , virtual collective simulators (both fixed
and mobile), individual- and crew-level non-systems-specific and systems-specific
simulators (including hardstands where tactical equipment plugs in for power to support
embedded training systems), constructive simulations and large live training complexes,
such as home station forward operating bases and urban operations training facilities.
(2) Natural Gas. Advanced meters will be installed on individual facilities to
accurately capture a minimum of 60 percent of natural gas use by 2020 with a goal of
85 percent at the installation level by the end of fiscal year 2020, based on available
funding. Where practical, facilities should be submetered to identify high-use operations
or processes.
(3) District Steam, Hot and Chilled Water. Advanced meters will be installed on
individual facilities and distribution lines connected to district steam , hot and chilled
water systems to accurately capture at least 60 percent of steam , hot and chilled water
use by 2020 with a goal of 85 percent at the installation level by the end of fiscal year
2020. Where practical, facilities should be submetered to identify high-use operations
or processes.
(4) Potable and Non-Potable Water. Advanced meters will be installed on
individual facilities and landscape irrigation systems to accurately capture a minimum of
60 percent of potable and non-potable (industrial , landscaping and agricultural) water
use by 2020 with a goal of 85 percent at the installation level by the end of fiscal year
2020, based on available funding . In addition , meters will be installed at on-post water
sources and distribution systems to effectively identify supply quantities and system
losses by the end of fiscal year 2020. Where practical, facilities and systems should be
submetered to identify high-use operations or processes .
d. Meters must be connected to the Army's MOMS as quickly as practical after
installation using an accredited metering system. All metering systems with advanced
meters will be configured to automatically communicate their data to MOMS. At a
minimum, advanced meters will provide hourly data and record 15-minute usage
profiles. These profiles will be used to assess building performance at least monthly.
e. The MOMS will be capable of electronically storing data for at least 10 years and
creating user reports showing a minimum of hourly, daily, monthly and annual
consumption.
f. Installations with privatized utilities will work through the contracting officer to
partner with the owner of the distribution system to share existing meter data or
negotiate acceptable terms for the installation of new meters and cost sharing .
3
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-10 (Advanced Metering of Utilities)
4. Communications Strategy and Plan for Reimbursable Tenant Meters. Not later than
12 months after publication of this directive, OACSIM will write and update, as needed,
a communications strategy for Army metering and a plan for metering reimbursable
tenants. The plan will explain why meters are needed, when they will be installed and
for which utility service(s) and how reimbursable tenants will be billed for each utility
service.
5. Meter Data Management Plan. Not later than 9 months after publication of this
directive, OACSIM will develop a meter data management plan that describes how the
Army plans to cost-effectively deploy metering systems with advanced meters and how
it intends to use the meter data to manage energy and water use. The plan will include
all utility meters and establish guidance on which installations and their facilities have a
priority. The plan will be updated as needed, but not less than every 3 years.
6. Reporting . OACSIM will brief the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations,
Energy and Environment) (ASA (IE&E)) quarterly on the Army's metering program and
implementation progress. The brief may be included as part of other OASCIM quarterly
briefs to the ASA (IE&E). OACSIM will develop appropriate performance measures and
use these measures in reporting progress.
7. Budgeting. OACSIM will identify the requirements to support the Army's metering
program through the planning, programming, budgeting and execution process. In
consultation with ASA (IE&E), OACSIM will provide annual guidance to the Corps of
Engineers' Meter Program Manager concerning the priorities and level of effort that will
be achieved each fiscal year. Installations will be provided resources, depending on
availability, to support the provisions of this directive and the meter data management
plan.
8. Proponent. The proponent for this directive is the Assistant Chief of Staff for
Installation Management, who will incorporate the guidance in this directive into the next
revision of Army Regulation 420-1 (Army Facilities Management) as soon as practical.
9. Rescission. This directive is rescinded upon publication of the revised regulation.

ARMY DIR 2014-08 WATER RIGHTS POLICY FOR ARMY INSTALLATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES

https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/pdf/web/ad2014_08.pdf

MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-08 (Water Rights Policy for Army Installations in the
United States)
1. Reference Memorandum, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Logistics
and Environment), 24 Nov 95, subject: Policy Guidance on Water Rights at Army
Installations in the United States.
2. Purpose. The Army requires enough water to carry out its missions without
significant disruptions. This directive, which supersedes the reference, sets policy and
assigns responsibilities for identifying, asserting and preserving the Army’s water rights.
3. Background. Water is scarce throughout much of the Western United States and
becoming scarcer in some parts of the Eastern United States. Increasing demand for
water to support growing populations and economic development places stress on the
same supplies of ground and surface water that Army installations depend on to fulfill
their missions. Over the past decade, several Army installations have become involved
in litigation over water rights. As competition for water increases, more Army
installations are likely to become involved in disputes over water. Consequently, it is
critical that we protect the Army’s water rights and its ability to carry out its missions.
4. Applicability. This policy applies to all Army installations in the United States. It is
not applicable to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Civil Works projects and facilities.
5. Policy. Effective immediately:
a. the Army will acquire and maintain water rights for both ground and surface water
consistent with mission requirements;
b. the Army will identify, assert, defend and preserve its water rights to the
maximum extent possible under State and Federal law to sustain mission capability;
and
c. Army installations will locate, record and retain documentation related to water
rights.
6. Reporting. By 31 December of each calendar year, the Office of the Assistant Chief
of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) will report to the Office of the Assistant
Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy and Environment) on the current state of
the Army’s water rights. This report will include the following topics: an assessment of
the sufficiency of existing water rights to meet mission requirements; the state of
S E C R E T A R Y O F T H E A R M Y
W A S H I N G T O N
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-08 (Water Rights Policy for Army Installations in the
United States)
2
documentation to assert, maintain and defend the Army’s water rights; and a current
summary of all legal challenges to the Army’s water rights.
7. Command Policy and Guidance. OACSIM will issue implementing guidance to
execute this policy no more than 180 days from the date of this directive and will
coordinate the guidance with the Environmental Law Division, Office of the Judge
Advocate General, before it is issued. Enclosure 1 contains a legal framework for water
rights to aid OACSIM, commands and command counsel in identifying, asserting and
preserving water rights. Enclosure 2 offers a nonexclusive list of issues to address in
the guidance.
8. Proponent. The proponent for this policy is OACSIM, who will incorporate the
guidance in this directive into the next revisions of Army Regulation 405-80

Army Directive 2014-08 Enclosure 1
LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR WATER RIGHTS
A water right is the legal right to use water from a source. Water rights are distinct from
contractual rights of purchase. Federal installations own and can obtain water rights in
support of their missions. The analysis of the status of Army water rights is specific to
each installation, highly specialized and dependent on careful legal review by the
installation’s Staff Judge Advocate.
Army water rights may arise from State or Federal law. State water rights are typically
obtained through acquisition. Although the Army is part of the Federal Government,
many of its installations’ water rights are held pursuant to State law. The character of
these State water rights depends on the legal doctrine each State follows. In general,
the Eastern States assign “riparian” water rights: all landowners whose property adjoins
a body of water have the right to make reasonable use of it. The Western States use a
system called “prior appropriation,” which assigns water rights prioritized by the date on
which a person first put a quantity of water to beneficial use. In these prior
appropriation States, ownership of land is divorced from ownership of water rights.
Some States have hybrids of these two systems. Each State’s specific laws are unique
and should be reviewed by the installation legal counsel.
Federal water rights differ significantly from State water rights and, most critically, take
priority over State rights. Army installations may have obtained Federal water rights in
one of the following ways:
 Federal Reserved Water Rights. When the Federal Government withdraws land
from the public domain to establish a reservation or installation, courts infer the
intent to reserve unappropriated water to fulfill the reservation’s established
purpose, both presently and in the future.
 Cession. On land ceded to the Federal Government, the cession authorization
may include water rights.
 Preemption. When Congress has clearly and specifically preempted State water
law, either expressly or by necessary implication, on lands that are not reserved,
the Federal installation will have senior water rights.
For Federal reserved rights, uses of water to fulfill the “primary purpose” of the
reservation or installation include all municipal and industrial uses of water necessary to
sustain a self-contained community, including water adequate for the morale and
welfare needs of the Army community. Federal reserved rights may also change over
time, depending on the installation’s future needs.
A final significant difference between Federal and State water rights is that Federal
reserved water rights clearly may not be lost by nonuse. Under the law of some prior
appropriation States, a long period of nonuse may raise a rebuttable presumption of
intent to abandon a State right. Reserved rights are not subject to abandonment. It is
Army Directive 2014-08 2 Enclosure 1
not clear, however, whether other water rights owned by the United States are subject
to State laws on abandonment.
Although the Federal Government is generally immune to lawsuits from the States, the
McCarran Amendment, Title 43 United States Code section 666 (1988), provides a
limited waiver of sovereign immunity for “general stream adjudications.” In this
situation, individual States can require the United States to quantify, assert and define
its water rights. During an adjudication, a court will consider evidence to establish the
existence of water rights within a watershed or basin. The result of the adjudication is a
decree fixing the amounts, relative priorities and specific details of water rights.
However, even when such rights have been fixed, Federal reserved rights may still
trump State water rights, and the appropriation of water may have to be revisited,
depending on the Army’s needs.
Timely and thorough identification and characterization of an installation’s water rights
are important. State water rights must be preserved to prevent arguments that they
have been abandoned. Generally, State adjudications of water rights also require the
assertion of water rights claims to be brought within a certain timeframe. If the Army
fails to assert or preserve its water rights in a timely manner, it may be in jeopardy of
losing those rights.
The policy in this directive requires that the Army identify, assert, defend and preserve
its water rights to the maximum extent possible under State and Federal law. The
complexity and diversity of water rights means that installation commanders must
consult with their Staff Judge Advocates to determine what legal rights and limitations
apply at their specific installation to ensure continued access to a sufficient water supply
to carry out the Army’s missions. The Office of the Judge Advocate General,
Environmental Law Division is available to coordinate guidance at the command level
and specific implementation instructions at the installation level.
The assertion and defense of Army water rights must be coordinated, through the
installation and land holding command’s Office of the Staff Judge Advocate or legal
office, with the Chief, Environmental Law Division, U.S. Army Legal Services Agency.
The Environmental Law Division represents the Department of the Army in litigation
(and some administrative proceedings) involving water rights and other environmental
and natural resources matters. The U.S. Department of Justice has the primary
responsibility for representing Federal agencies in litigation. Consequently, the
Environmental Law Division will coordinate as necessary with the Justice Department
and Office of the Army General Counsel on all matters related to Army water rights.
Army Directive 2014-08 Enclosure 2
ISSUES TO ADDRESS IN GUIDANCE
Here is a nonexclusive list of issues the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for
Installation Management (OACSIM) will include in its water rights guidance to
commands. Commands may issue further guidance to aid in local implementation as
they deem necessary. Local implementation should also address any additional
Federal, State or regional issues that may be unique to the command’s particular
missions and circumstances.
1. Importance of the Army Water Rights Policy. Each command must emphasize the
critical importance that sufficient water rights and access to water may have on the
command’s ability to continue to carry out its missions in the future.
2. Assignment of Responsibilities. Each command must clearly establish who is
responsible for collecting and maintaining records; analyzing current and future water
needs and supply; analyzing water rights necessary for continued access to a sufficient
supply of water; and asserting, maintaining and defending water rights and access.
3. Federal and State Water Rights Laws. OACSIM’s guidance should include a
summary of Federal and State water laws, and also direct appropriate legal counsel to
supplement this summary with State and regional laws and issues that may be pertinent
to each installation or activity. The guidance should discuss potentially relevant Federal
laws, such as the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
4. Analysis of Existing Water Rights. All installations or activities must analyze the
adequacy of their current and future water supply needs, rights and access. Such rights
and access should be sufficient to continue essential activities under drought or other
shortage conditions and to support increased demand due to mobilization, contingency
operations or increases in population or missions. Attention should be paid to actions
necessary to maintain existing water rights, including planning and continued beneficial
use to avoid abandonment or loss. Likewise, any privatization of Army-owned water
systems must be accomplished in such a manner as to not jeopardize the Army’s water
rights. If additional water access or rights are necessary, the analysis should also
include what other sources of water are available and how to acquire the rights or
access to that water.
5. Identification of Supporting Data and Records. The guidance should address the
importance of collecting and maintaining sufficient evidentiary records to assert,
maintain and defend the Army’s water rights. Guidance should be provided on how to
locate, record and retain existing and future water rights documentation. As applicable,
this documentation should include information concerning the dates, locations, means,
rates of diversion and uses of water, as well as documents establishing the acquisition
and history of all water rights acquired (for example, executive orders, decrees or
permits).
Army Directive 2014-08 2 Enclosure 2
6. Maintenance of Records. OACSIM should require commands to initiate procedures
for permanently maintaining such records. These procedures should clearly identify
who is responsible for the maintenance, how the maintenance will be monitored to
ensure that it is carried out, and how such records will be passed on to successors.
The transfer of documents is especially important given the indefinite number of years
during which the Army will need to assert, maintain and/or defend its water rights.
Effective retention of information collected, now and in the future, will be key to
protecting the current and future property interests of the United States Army.

g. Programmatic Environmental Assessment: Army Net Zero Installations, Final,
July 2012.
2. Purpose. The Army's vision is to appropriately manage our natural resources with a
goal of Net Zero in energy, water and solid waste at installations. This memorandum
sets policy and assigns responsibilities to strive toward Net Zero at all Army installations
where fiscally responsible and in support of mission accomplishment. Net Zero is not a
new program, but seeks to build on existing Army sustainability efforts to integrate
environmental, energy and green procurement programs. This holistic strategy is
targeted to improve management of existing Federal energy, water and solid waste
programs with the goal of increasing resiliency where fiscally responsible. Net Zero is a
force multiplier that enables the Army to appropriately steward available resources,
manage costs and provide Soldiers, Families and Civilians with a sustainable future.
3. Applicability. This policy applies to all permanent Active Army, Army National Guard
and U.S. Army Reserve installations, sites and facilities operated and/or maintained by
Federal funds in the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental
United States (OCONUS), hereafter referred to as "installations." This policy does not
apply to contingency bases or Civil Works facilities. For the purposes of this policy, the
tenn "Commands" refers to U.S. Army Materiel Command, U.S. Anny Installation
Management Command, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve.
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014·02 (Net Zero Installations Policy)
4. Policy. Net Zero builds on longstanding sustainable practices and incorporates
emerging best practices in building and community management of energy, water and
solid waste at Army installations.
a. Effective immediately, Commands will implement Net Zero to the maximum
extent practical and fiscally prudent by:
(1) reducing overall energy use , maximizing efficiency, implementing energy
recovery and cogeneration opportunities, and offsetting the remaining demand with the
production of renewable energy from onsite sources so that the Net Zero energy
installation produces as much renewable energy as it uses over the course of a year.
{2) reducing overall water use, regardless of the source; increasing use of
technology that uses water more efficiently; recycling and reusing water, shifting from
the use of potable water to non-potable sources as much as possible; and minimizing
interbasin transfers of any type of water, potable or non•potable, so that a Net Zero
water installation recharges as much water back into the aquifer as it withdraws.
(3) reducing, reusing, recycling/composting and recovering solid waste streams
and converting them to resource values, resulting in zero landfill disposal.
b. Commands, both CONUS and OCONUS, will work to gain local, regional and
national (where applicable) support toward Net Zero goals.
c. The original Net Zero pilots will continue to strive toward a goal of Net Zero in
energy, water and/or solid waste by fiscal year 2020. The Net Zero pilots will serve as
sources of "best practices" that other installations can implement.
5. Implementation. Army Net Zero is designed to further the Army energy, water, solid
waste and overall sustainability goals, primarily through improved management
practices.
a. Commands are expected to move toward the Net Zero goals using existing
programs and resources, where practical. Efforts will be funded with existing program
resources from funds for military construction; the Energy Conservation Investment
Program; the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program ; sustainment,
restoration and modernization; and base operations services.
b. Commands are encouraged to:
(1) leverage existing utilities privatization contracts, energy savings performance
contracts and utility energy service contracts; ·
2
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-02 (Net Zero Installations Policy)
(2) explore options for alternative financing through power purchase agreements
end enhanced use leases;
(3) collaborate with other Federal agencies and the private sector to finance
project development; and
(4) use life-cycle cost analysis to assess any proposed new Net Zero initiative or
project.
c. Commands are expected to review and validate all life-cycle cost analyses that
installations develop to ensure that the recommended project or initiative is fiscally
responsible and cost-effective.
6. Responsibilities
a. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy and
Environment) (OASA (IE&E)) develops Net Zero strategy and policy, represents Army
environmental and sustainability interests, and provides strategic oversight and direction
for Net Zero.
b. The Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM)
establishes guidance and secures program resources to achieve Net Zero goals.
OACSIM will develop and maintain a process to oversee command performance, share
best practices and lessons learned across commands, and report progress toward Net
Zero by leveraging existing systems and reporting requirements.
c. Commands will oversee installation performance as they strive to exceed the
legal, regulatory, Presidential, Department of Defense and Army policy requirements for
increasing efficiency, and reusing and reducing energy and water consumption and
solid waste generation as cost-effectively as possible (references 1a-1 g and the
supplemental Net Zero references at the enclosure). Commands will continually
evaluate and implement efficiencies, reductions and reuse of energy, water and solid
waste to the maximum extent possible within available funding levels and as new
technologies and approaches are proven cost-effective.
7. Tracking Progress
a. OACSIM will provide quarterly updates to the CASA (IE&E) on each command's
progress, as well as overall Army energy, water and solid waste goal performance.
OACSIM will include periodic Net Zero training in existing Army Energy Managers
Workshops and help commands incorporate Net Zero into other appropriate Army
training.
3
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2014-02 (Net Zero Installations Policy)
b. Commands will hold quarterly conference calls to facilitate information exchange,
identify best practices, track progress and publish success stories and lesson learned.
Commands will summarize the results in quarterly reports to OACSIM.
c. Commands will ensure that installations report progress quarterly and annually
on energy, water and solid waste in accordance with Army policy via existing reporting
systems (for example, Army Energy and Water Reporting System, Solid Waste Annual
Reporting and Headquarters Army Environmental System). Commands will review and
certify the accuracy and completeness of data quarterly, track progress toward Net Zero
goals through the aggregation of existing data sources, and assess and report individual
installation progress toward Net Zero.
8. Exceptions. Requests for exception to this policy must be forwarded in writing
through the chain of command to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Energy
and Sustainability) for approval.
9. Proponent. The proponent for this policy is OACSIM, who will incorporate the
guidance in this directive into the next revisions of Army Regulation 200-1
(Environmental Protection and Enhancement) and Army Regulation 420-1 (Army
Facilities Management), as appropriate.
10. Rescission. This directive is rescinded upon publication of the revised regulations.
