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: Evaluate 75% of installation’s energy and water every 4 years 1. (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 UNCLASSIFIED / FOUO 31 Leadership. Energy.
