Charter

The purpose of the Green Engineering Program Committee

(GEPC) is to promote a holistic, systems approach to improved

energy efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy and ‘cradle-to-

cradle’ design. GEPC serves as the AIAA focal point for all “green”

aerospace-related programs and technologies, and works

synergistically with the appropriate technical committees to assure

that the AIAA membership is adequately informed about all aspects

of this critical aerospace activity.

GEPC Trends

• Over the past year, interest in alternative fuels, energy efficiency and the environment has grown substantially.

• Numerous conferences had “green” as a central theme, including JPC, Inside Aerospace, NASA’s Green Aviation Summit, and many more.

• Coordinating the AIAA activities to ensure all areas are addressed, while minimizing overlap, will remain a key challenge for GEPC.

The Green Engineering PC…Why Now?

• World-wide attention has become focused on sustainability and the need for new approaches to energy generation & utilization.

• Greener Aviation & Alternative Fuels named top two emerging technologies for AIAA involvement.

• Individual facets of green technologies represented sporadically in the technical committees, but there is no central focus & systems thinking approach.

• A PC, with its inherent systems point of view, flexibility of approach, and access to a wide range of expertise, offers AIAA such a focus that would broadly benefit the membership.

• Other professional organizations are ramping up their involvement in “green” activities. AIAA needs a clearly defined focal point & should work to become a leader in this growing domain.

19

Scope

• Serve as the focal point and interface between AIAA and the green technology community, including DOE, EPA, NOAA, and complementary professional societies.

• Characterize the critical challenges for green technologies as applied to aerospace systems.

• Identify rapidly advancing & emerging technologies that support improved energy efficiency and sustainability.

• Support AIAA public policy forums / initiatives and provide a liaison to the Public Policy Committee.

• Coordinate and focus green activities across the technical committees to develop / support conferences, workshops, position papers, panel sessions and technical sessions.

• Co-sponsor relevant conferences and events with other professional societies.

• Identify champions for new green initiatives within AIAA.

20

Objectives

• Help shape the vision, direction and policy for future energy and aviation systems.

• Promote sustainable and renewable aerospace-related energy systems.

• Advocate “cradle-to-cradle” design and system-level optimization of complex energy conversion systems.

• Provide a forum in which industry, government, and academia can discuss solutions & approaches in an informal, non-competitive environment.

• Promote and support conferences, workshops, sessions and technical publications in the area of aerospace-related green technology.

• Provide efficient and effective knowledge transfer to the AIAA membership.

• Ensure all relevant aspects of green technologies are represented in the technical committees and conferences.
