Facility Evaluation Program Directives

Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 Section 432 and the Army Comprehensive Energy and Water Evaluations (CEWE) Policy (23 Aug 2012) requires the Commands to: 1. Evaluate 75% of installation’s energy and water every 4 years (floor area may be used as a proxy)

  • At least 25% of facilities evaluated per year

2. Conduct comprehensive energy and water evaluations that must include:

  • Energy and water retrofit measures
  • Re- or retro-commissioning measures

 Army Reserve added Waste to facility evaluation program in FY16.

Site Selection

Which buildings to evaluate?

  • Create list of sites to evaluate at some

level for the 4-year EISA cycle

  • Include all meeting high priority

conditions

  • Ensure sites comprise 75% of total

energy use

  • Review waste/recycling hauler and custodial contracts
  • Obtain building floor plans

Step 1: What services should be occurring?

  • What services are actually occurring
  • Observe waste and recycling infrastructure
  • Gather information on staff engagement in recycling

Step 2: What services and practices are occurring (site visit)?

  • Modifications to current recycling services or other options for the site
  • Recommend measures to improve recycling efforts

Step 3: What opportunities exist for improvement?

Step 1: What services should be occurring?

Pre-visit Data Collection for Waste and Recycling Evaluation

  • 1. Solid waste contracts
  • Availability of waste and recycling

services to the site

  • Size and number of dumpsters provided
  • Pickup schedule
  • 2. Custodial contracts
  • Custodial service scope (includes removal
  • f recyclables?)
  • 3. Obtain floorplans for all buildings evaluated
  • 4. Pre-visit communication
  • Identify relevant FC
  • Relevant regulations?
  • Desired recycling?

Site-visit Data Collection for Waste and Recycling Evaluation

  • 1. Interview site staff
  • Comments, concerns, unique conditions?
  • Dumpsters pickup frequency and fullness

prior to pickup

  • Staff recycling efforts/engagement?
  • Who takes recyclables from inside bins

to outside containers?

  • Support needed for recycling?
  • 2. Observe current waste management

conditions

  • Dumpsters / outside collection

areas

  • Interior recycling infrastructure
  • Recycling practices

Step 3: What do we report?

Waste Generation and Recycling Recommendations

  • 1. Present reviewed and observed waste and recycling resources and practices
  • 2. Estimate MSW generation on-site
  • 3. Recommend measures to increase recycling efforts (see examples below)

Measure Category Existing Condition Recommendations Number of Units Provide adequate # of recycle bins Lack of recycle bins located in common areas (only one recycling bin observed in 1 classroom) Add clearly labeled bins for all materials in building entrances and exits, common administration areas, assembly area and breakrooms so that all offices have convenient access. 12 bins Increase recycle dumpster coverage on-site Building xyz has one MSW dumpster but no recycle dumpster Request additional recycle dumpster to be placed next to MSW dumpsters for Building xyz 1 recycle dumpster Increase staff engagement Lack of engagement in recycling program; cross contamination

  • bserved in recycle

containers Increase staff and soldier awareness of proper recycling (materials accepted, flatten boxes before disposing, etc.) by in-brief meetings, staff meetings, newsletters, e-letters, etc. Quarterly

Waste and Recycling Highlights

  • 34 sites have local recycling options but did not have any recycling services at

the time of the evaluation.

  • 19 sites were found to have staff-led initiatives for recycling with limited or

no recycling services provided to the sites.

  • IN004: The contractor corrected their service as a result of PNNL’s inquiry
  • NE023: PNNL captured updates to the services after its site visit to both

inform the site and recommend measures based on the latest services to the site

  • PA179: The site used a recycling dumpster with an outdated label indicated

cardboard only. PNNL discovered its hauler provides single-stream recycling for the site and informed the site to contact the hauler for a correct label.
