More than six percent of our electric supply comes from on-base renewable energy projects including wind, solar, geothermal and landfill gas. "We are evaluating ways to expand our portfolio to include wasteto-energy and biomass projects as we work toward producing 25 percent renewable energy by 2025," said Ken Gray, AFFEC Rates and Renewable Branch chief. Two new wind turbines will come online this fall at the Massachusetts Military Reservation. Additionally, construction will soon begin on a 14 megawatt solar array at DavisMonthan AFB, Ariz. Change the culture Our success, our ability to truly change the Air Force culture and develop a new mindset when it comes to energy, depends on you. "Each individual can and must contribute," said Stacey, AFFEC chief. "No matter how small or how large the action, people will ultimately make the difference. Take a moment to turn off lights and appliances when not in use; make saving energy and water a habit every day; and encourage your family, friends, and coworkers to do their part too." Take "ACTION" this Energy Awareness Month. A-C-T-I-O-N stands for: Appliance reduction; Computer log off; Temperature set points; Inform facility managers; Outdoor conservation; and No waste. These are easy steps that can yield positive results for the community and the Air Force. it's important to log-off. This ensures that computers will enter energy-saving sleep mode. Before you pull your ID card and go home for the day, remember to log off. The Air Force IT Power Management Team estimates this action alone can save more than $10 million a year. " Temperature Control 4 Climate control set points can have a major impact on energy use. Most bases use settings of 68 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer. Be familiar with your base's temperature set-point policy. Heating and cooling systems are not perfect, so workspaces may not be at optimum comfort temperatures. Rather than increasing energy demand with space heaters or fans, dress appropriately for the temperature in your facility. If your building is too cool in the summer or too hot in the winter, the thermostat could be set incorrectly, which means the Air Force is wasting energy. " Appliance reduction 4 Look around your workspace. Do you have a refrigerator or coffeemaker in your work area? How many personal appliances can be removed or consolidated in common areas like the break room? Reducing energy usage by reducing the number of appliances and machines you use can yield significant energy savings. For example, in an evaluation of just two buildings at WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio, the base energy manager found a staggering 810 appliances that could be unplugged or eliminated. The list included radios, fans, refrigerators, coffeemakers, microwaves and toasters. 'with be I Insurance, discounts or promotions.
