COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE (RCI)

• Upon completion of the Hawaii RCI project, AHFH
  will be one of the largest
• solar-powered communities in the world
• Photovoltaic panels (PV) will provide
  approximately 30 percent of AHFHs
• electrical needs
• While utilizing solar power to produce clean
  energy, AHFH is also incorporating
• sustainable design to reduce consumption
• Solar hot water heaters
• Low-e glazing on windows
• Radiant barrier under shingles
• Insulation in walls and attic spaces
• Ridge vents on roof
• High efficiency AC units

Net Zero Energy Home

• What it is
• A situation that unites design technology and
  human behavior to create a home that generates
  the same quantity of energy that it produces,
  there by creating a net zero consumption
  effect.
• What it is not
• Does not require Exotic, Modaern or Avante

• Aesthetics driven by energy efficiency rather
  than traditional aesthetics will affect the look
  of the homes
• As technology changes we should incorporate it.

• Use of 4concrete slab in ceilings above living
  rooms and kitchens to cool air by convection
• Use geothermal differential (chilled beam
  technology)
• Autodesk models how a building will perform,
  get it into the hands of our consultants
• Shrink the waste - 2.5 tons of construction waste
  on 3,000 sq ft home. Recycling on site can be
  improved- incorporate in specifications
• Incorporation of natural ventilation for our
  homes

LEED PILOT for NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN

• LEED for neighborhood development is a rating
  system that ingrates the principles of smart
  growth, new urbanism and green building into the
  first National standard for neighborhood design.
• Up to 120 projects across the United States
  will be selected and named by the end of May
  2007. The pilot program will run for a period of
  9-15 months, after which a detailed assessment of
  each project occurs, and the lessons learnt are
  used inform the development of a National
  framework for LEED Neighborhood Design.
• The opportunity to demonstrate leadership in
  the design of neighborhoods which encompass smart
  growth, new urbanism and green building design
• The ability to help shape the LEED for
  Neighborhood Development rating system
• The recognition of being an early adopter
  through case study and other promotional efforts
• The opportunity to be one of the first LEED
  certified development projects for neighborhood
  design in the United States

DECONSTRUCTION AND RECYCLING

• AHFH has recycled more than 80,000 tons of
  material at Schofield Barracks
• on-site rock crusher produces three types of
  material for structural fill
• AHFH recycles concrete, asphalt, metal and
  vegetation
• AHFH has preserved hundreds of trees. Arborists
  and
• urban planners determined which trees to
  preserve.
• Designers laid out sidewalks and aligned
  buildings
• to avoid trees. Shrubs and plants not
  relocated were
• mulched and reused.
• To date, AHFH has donated hundreds of appliances
• (washers, dryers, ranges and ovens,
  refrigerators
• and freezers) to the Nanakuli Housing
  Corporation,
• Waimanalo Neighborhood Board, and Victory
  Ohana
• All military construction, renovation, and
  demolition
• projects shall include contract performance
  requirements
• for a 50 minimum diversion of construction and
• demolition waste by weight, from landfill

Army Metering Implementation Plan

• The Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of
  Defense (Installations and Environment) issued
  the Army Metering Implementation Plan on 6
  September 2006. The Energy Policy Act of 2005
  requires all federal facilities to be metered
  with advanced meters by 2012 where practicable.
  Based on OSD guidance, and in coordination with
  U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center,
  Huntsville, an implementation plan for the Army
  metering effort has been developed. The Army plan
  assumes availability of 8 M per year in POM
  08-13. The plan lays out a methodology to
  determine cost-effective metering and a process
  for prioritizing installations.
• All new MILCON is metered IAW Energy
  Conservation UFC3-400-01
• This Fall all AHFH homes will be modified with
  Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). AMI
  employs digital meters with two-way
  communications capability enabling the utility or
  billing service to not only receive data from the
  meters, but also to transmit requests and
  commands to the meter and devices connected to
  the meter (appliance sensors, home displays,
  etc.).

HB266 Some Ideas

• Natural carbon sequestration.
• Forested lands capture carbon dioxide (CO2).
  Utility companies may need to offset their CO2
  emissions. An installation could quantify its
  forested areas on base and sell the associatedCO2
  sequestration credits to a utility. As an
  example of the potential value, greenhouse gas
  storage in forests can be as high 2,200 per
  hectare.
• Habitat banking.
• Habitat for endangered and threatened species
  extends beyond the fence line. Quantifying its
  value allows installations to purchase or trade
  credits from other habitat banks in the same
  region. This could increase training capacity by
  reducing on-post endangered species restrictions.
  It would also allow regulators to manage species
  and habitats across regions.
• Natural filtration.
• Wetlands act as a natural filtration system.
  Installations could identify their ecosystem
  service value and use filtration credits or trade
  them for another environmental service needed to
  comply with requirements.
• Pollutant cap and trade.
• Regulatory bodies set overall caps on pollutants
  such as SO2 and allocate pollutant baseline
  quantities to the producers. Producers could
  reduce their own emissions and sell the resulting
  credits, or they could purchase credits from
  others to avoid treatment or noncompliance costs.

Ecosystem markets can increase the value of
land in a natural state, making open space or
natural habitat management economically
competitive with land development. They also can
help control sprawl, potentially reducing
encroachment.

WWPSs, approximately 70 miles of gravity sewers,
and numerous grease traps and oil/water
separators. The Schofield Barracks WWTP has a
current design capacity of 4.2 mgd. The scope of
work of our contract includes upgrading the
existing secondary R-2 treatment plant to R-1

Hawaii State Sustainability Task Force

• The Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force was
  established in 2005 to address and guide Hawaiis
  long-term sustainable future. The process seeks
  input from businesses, government, and private
  citizensfrom our keiki to our kupuna.In 2005,
  the Hawaii State Legislature, through Act 8
  (SB1592 CD1)
• Created the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force
  to review the Hawaii State Plan and the states
  planning process, and
• Required the Office of the Auditor to prepare a
  Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan.The Task Force
  consists of 25 members appointed by the Governor
  Speaker of the House Senate President and
  Mayors of the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui,
  and Honolulu and the President of the University
  of Hawaii. The Director of the State Office of
  Planning and the Auditor serve as members of the
  Task Force.

What does the military get from ACUB?
Protected boundaries

• Reduces potential
• conflict over dust and noise
• Protects the safety of
• civilians
• Provides security

Enhancement of resource protection

• Protects installations from
• being only remaining refuge
• for biodiversity
• Enables Army to meet
• endangered species
• requirements of promoting
• recovery
• Protects species from
• endangerment

28
What is an Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB)

• Involves an agreement between an Army
  installation and another party (NGO, state or
  local government) that enables the other party to
  acquire land or interest in land from a willing
  private land owner. Army does not own the land.
• Army gets reduced encroachment and greater
  training flexibility. Partner get enhanced
  mission capability (TE, Hunting, Agricultural)
• Costs are typically shared as multiple purposes
  are served (buffering mission, endangered
  species, hunting etc).
• Often involves stakeholder partnerships for
  decision making.
• Authorized 10 U.S.C.2684a "Agreements to limit
  encroachments and other constraints on military
  training, testing, and operations"
