Federal agency energy and water policies are set by statutes (laws) and Executive Orders (EOs).  In turn, individual federal agencies can set their own policies above and beyond those required by overall federal policies.  During the first part of this seminar, participants will learn about specific federal energy and water sustainability requirements and publicly available resources regarding the performance metrics and individual federal agencies’ progress towards meeting these performance metrics.

During the second part of the seminar, participants will learn about a U.S. Army initiative to improve energy and water resilience at its installations, which goes above and beyond federal energy and water sustainability requirements.  The Department of Defense recognizes that disruptions in energy and water can affect critical missions, and the Army’s initiative towards improving energy and water resilience is one of the first to quantify the energy and water requirements for resilience for critical facilities supporting critical missions.
