ARMY ANNOUNCES NEW POLICIES ON ENERGY EFFICIENCIES

摘要

In late October, Katherine Hammack, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and the Environment issued a new policy memorandum to improve high-performance green buildings standards for the U.S. Army. The memo, "Memorandum for Sustainable Design and Development Policy Update (Environmental and Energy Performance) (Revision)," changes the way the Army will approach efficient design of Army facilities. Requirements throughout the planning, programming, budgeting, design and building stages will strengthen the Army's sustainability, energy security and energy independence through more responsible consumption and planning.
