Handyman Insurance, GSA Helps Army Attain Net Zero Energy
GSA identified four breakthrough areas to help the Army meet its sustainability goals. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) released a report today designed to help the Army attain net zero energy (NZE) through employing high-impact energy efficiency strategies. This new report presents the findings of a green building demonstration project completed at Fort Carson, a historic 72-year-old Army base near Colorado Springs, Colo. As a flagship in the Army’s Net Zero Initiative, Fort Carson has set a net zero energy goal for the entire base by the year 2020, which means that the base – home to approximately 900 buildings equaling about 14-million square feet of real property – will need to generate as much energy as it consumes by the goal year.
