The Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest consumer of energy
in the federal government. In turn, the U.S. Air Force is the
largest consumer of energy in the DoD, with a total annual energy
expenditure of around $10 billion. Approximately 84 percent of Air
Force energy use involves liquid fuel consumed in aviation whereas
approximately 12 percent is energy (primarily electricity) used in
facilities on the ground. This workshop was concerned primarily
with opportunities to reduce energy consumption within Air Force
facilities that employ energy intensive industrial processes-for
example, assembly/disassembly, painting, metal working, and
operation of radar facilities-such as those that occur in the
maintenance depots and testing facilities. Air Force efforts to
reduce energy consumption are driven largely by external goals and
mandates derived from Congressional legislation and executive
orders. To date, these goals and mandates have targeted the energy
used at the building or facility level rather than in specific
industrial processes. In response to a request from the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy and the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and
Engineering, the National Research Council, under the auspices of
the Air Force Studies Board, formed the Committee on Energy
Reduction at U.S. Air Force Facilities Using Industrial Processes:
A Workshop. The terms of reference called for a committee to plan
and convene one 3 day public workshop to discuss: (1) what are the
current industrial processes that are least efficient and most cost
ineffective? (2) what are best practices in comparable facilities
for comparable processes to achieve energy efficiency? (3) what are
the potential applications for the best practices to be found in
comparable facilities for comparable processes to achieve energy
efficiency? (4) what are constraints and considerations that might
limit applicability to Air Force facilities and processes over the
next ten year implementation time frame? (5) what are the costs and
paybacks from implementation of the best practices? (6) what will
be a proposed resulting scheme of priorities for study and
implementation of the identified best practices? (7) what does a
holistic representation of energy and water consumption look like
within operations and maintenance? Table of Contents Front Matter
