B.5.7 Energy Conservation

Energy conservation is a large concern when new facilities are constructed on Fort Carson.  The Building Design is the key component in determining energy impact on Fort Carson for years to come and is discussed in depth in Appendix D.  However, some other factors need to be addressed and considered when constructing or renovating on Fort Carson which have long term energy impacts to Fort Carson.  

This section contains established Energy Conservation Design Standards for new construction, major renovation projects, minor repair projects, and energy conservation projects for facilities on or operated by Fort Carson.  These Standards are in response to Federal law, Presidential Executive Orders, Department of Defense requirements, and HQ Installation Management Agency goals and requirements.

Designs will include all practical energy and water conservation measures determined to be life cycle cost effective.  Points of Contact for Energy Conservation can be found in Appendix B.  POCs are Vince Guthrie, (719) 526-2927 or Scott Clark (719) 526-1739.
