Goals Support Core Business Processes

• Military Training/Land Management– Optimize use of existing lands– Easements/buffers around fence lines

• Transportation/Logistics– Convenient (reduced congestion)– Reliable, clean (emission-free), renewable fuels

• Facilities– Meet LEED Gold standard– Renewable, secure energy– Reduce water use, improve quality

• Regional/Community Planning– Development/growth, compatible land use, regional education

• Procurement/Contracting– Completely cyclable non-toxic materials– Buy local– Zero waste

Triple Bottom Line


SERO


PERSPIRATION


SERO


Finding NEMMOSolution• “Finding New Emerging Military

Market Opportunities,” Fall 2007• Provides mission-essential products• Transforms waste into value• Reduces transport impacts/costs• Boosts local employment• Concept exportable

Problem• Buying local is more sustainable, but

local manufacturing jobs are down 20% since 1990

• Six DoD facilities in southeast NC buy products, generate waste

• Industries in 22 counties can use our waste to make new products we, in turn, want to buy

Solution


SERO


Water System Sealant

Problem• 100+ miles of wastewater

collection pipes at Ft Bragg• Infiltration/inflow can increase

wastewater costs by 1/3rd

Potential Solution• In-situ composite system

• Made from feathers• ½ the cost of pipe

replacement• Developing pilot

studySolution


SERO


Wood Waste

Solution• Ft Stewart foresters evaluating

cantonment area and forest wood resources in combination,

• Product(s) can be used or sold as biomass/fuel

• Transforms waste into value

Problem• Ft Stewart landfills 220 tons/mo

of C&D, pallets, storm debris• Tons of timber harvest waste

left to rot/burn on forest floor• On-site wood fired steam plant

uses wood chips from off-site

Solution


SERO


Furniture Life-CyclesSolution• Sustainable Interiors Showcase (SIS)

–Ft Lewis, Ft Jackson, Ft Benning• Pilot study:

–How to consider lifecycle costs at time of acquisition

–Relative cost of LEED credits from furniture vs. other credits

Problem• Army 5-year furniture forecast:

$2.3 billion• Furniture disposal costs rising, but

not considered at time of purchase• LEED furniture credits may be the

cheapest, but not considered

Solution


SERO


Mattress Life-Cycles

Solutions• Ft Bragg refurbishes, saving 50%• Ft Jackson buys 100% foam units;

maker takes back and recycles• Ft Gordon donates, buys foam• Redstone Arsenal recycles coil

units for credit toward new foam

Problem• Landfills starting to ban

mattresses (not profitable: high volume/low weight)

• Recycling options very limited• Procurement alternatives few

Solution


SERO


Food Waste ManagementSolutions• Zero Footprint Camp• Donate edible surplus: AR 30-22

– Ft Gordon• Buy biobased cafeteriaware

– DLA: UGRs now 50% biobased– Ft Campbell, Ft Benning

• Compost remainder– on-site or with community partner

Problem• About 12% of all solid waste is food• For IMCOM-SE, that’s about

97,800 tons/yr• Diverting food waste is difficult• Food packaging in deployed units

is a Force Protection risk

Solution


SERO


High-Performance Buildings

Problem• DoD FY08-13 construction

budget: $13 billion/yr• Services can’t afford O&M tail

of conventional buildings• High-performance concept

poorly understood/documented

Solutions• ESTCP fire station at Ft Bragg

- 25% less in O&M costs- 30% less energy cost- 75% less wastewater

• Beyond Army LEED Silver policy:- Ft Bragg Golden Knights - LEED Gold at no additional cost

- Ft Campbell RCI pilot - Zero Energy Housing
