Establishment of an energy awareness through informing personnel of energy conservation methods Establishment and performance of scheduled maintenance activities on building systems that impact energy and water consumption Location Specific Energy and Water Management Each DLA Strategic Materials employee will utilize the suggestions in this program to the maximum extent possible. Each depot will record and track energy and water consumption related metrics on a monthly basis. These metrics will be evaluated annually for progress related to the overall goals of the Federal Government. Energy Conservation Methods The following methods can be used in order to assist in the conservation of energy and water at the DLA Strategic Materials facilities: Turn off exterior lighting except when it is essential as required by safety and/or security regulations by service specific requirements Ensure all electrical equipment and appliances are turned off when not in current use and during non-duty hours, including: Computers Lights Monitors Speakers Printers Copiers Fax machines Other related items Unplug appliances that aren’t currently in use or mission essential, including: Phone chargers Cable boxes Computers Printers Coffee Makers Microwaves Other related items Conduct leak detection tests to identify and schedule repairs for leaks During the heating seasons, shades and blinds open on sunny days and close them at night to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows During cooling seasons, close shades and blinds during the summer when air conditioning is in use Print only when necessary and print double sided Keep air vents clear of paper, files and office supplies Turn off sources when they are not in use Conserve fuel in GOVs When the GOV can accept E-85 fuel, use this alternative fuel when available Performance of Schedule Maintenance Activities that Impact Energy and Water Consumption DLA Strategic Materials employees will schedule maintenance activities as needed in order to ensure that
