One suggestion from the energy survey team is to add a layer of foam to the outside of these tensioned fabric shelters to provide a heat barrier and make the shelters much easier to cool. Another suggestion is to then coat the foam with a Thermal Control coating and a UV coating to further increase the energy efficiency of the shelters. (Photo courtesy Rick Peck, AFCESA)

LED streetlights like the one pictured here will soon be in parking lots and along roadways across bases in Air Force Space Command. It’s estimated the project will save 25,559 MBTUs annually and $1.15 million a year in energy and maintenance costs. (Photo by Mr. Rob Bussard)

Ms. Rose Forbes serves as the lead project manager for the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment’s Installation Restoration Program at the Massachusetts Military Reservation. By leveraging environmental restoration account funding from the Air Force and Army, Forbes has set a new standard for melding environmental cleanup and on-site renewable energy with a wind turbine project that will save the DOD more than $68 million in lifetime electric costs.

Guard shows off successful facility energy program
This new vertically operating fabric door at Pease Air National Guard Base in New Hampshire helps save energy. The previous horizontal doors had nomadic motors that could take a half an hour for Airmen to open or close allowing a lot of time for heat or air conditioning to escape. The new fabric door opens quickly with the press of a button. An aircraft can now go in or out in a matter of minutes rather than most of an hour. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Eddie Green)
