MSARNG Pamphlet 11-27
The following energy conservation actions will be
implemented by all units/activities of the
MSARNG 1. Appoint and train Energy Councils as
required. 2. Appoint and train Building Energy
Monitors for every building in the MSARNG.
3. Immediately complete, implement, and comply
with all No Cost checklist items in Annex A,
MSARNG Pam 11-27. 4. Complete and implement as m
any of the Low Cost and Medium/High Cost items in
Annex A as available funding will allow.
5. Complete and implement an Energy Management
Plan. 6. Report all violations or non-compliance
through Chain-of-Command.
9
Building Energy Monitors
Responsibilities 1. Complete checklist in Appe
ndix A and Annex B of MSARNG Pam 11-27 and retain
for Command Inspection with a copy forwarded to
JFH-MS-ARF-FM. 2. Inform building occupants of
Energy Management Plan and monitor compliance
with the plan. 3. Set the building thermostat c
ontrols and operating hours. 4. Forward copies
of all utility bills to JFH-MS-ARF-FM monthly
(mail, fax or e-mail).
10
Energy Councils
Comply with MSARNG Pam 11-27 Establish reasonable
goals and objectives Be realistic, do not at
tempt to reduce energy consumption by 20 in the
first three months. Assess Your Resources - What
tools do you have available to reduce energy
consumption? (full time staff, M-Day soldier
awareness, posters, and publications).
Record Your Efforts Publish an Energy
Conservation Plan. Identify how energy is being u
sed and/or wasted. Identify energy conservation o
pportunities that reduce energy use and/or cost.
11
Risk versus Return
Most energy projects are very low risk.
Many options have high returns for low initial
investment cost (compact fluorescent and T-8
fluorescent). Capital projects have very long lif
e (current and recent capital improvement
projects at AVCRAD, CSTS, AASF-MEI and others
pending).
Energy Efficient Lighting Options
Lighting accounts for approximately 25 percent
of all electricity used in the MSARNG.

12
Lighting Savings Measures
Turn off lights in unoccupied areas.
Reduce lighting in daytime as you can.
Reduce light levels in non-working areas such as
hallways. Clean walls and windows and use light c
olor paints on walls and ceilings if possible.
Remove unneeded light bulbs (4 bulb
fixtures-outside 2) Clean fixtures and covers.
Replace incandescent bulbs with compact
fluorescent (saves 10.00 per year in electricity
per bulb) Fluorescent lamps are much more efficie
nt than incandescent bulbs and last 6 to 10 times
longer. Although fluorescent and compact
fluorescent lamps are more expensive than
incandescent bulbs, they pay for themselves by
saving energy over their lifetime.
Scheduling Turn lights off manually in areas
that do not require continuous light or install
occupancy sensors. Replace T-12 with T-8 fluoresc
ent bulbs and ballasts. Do not illuminate the bui
lding. Use task lighting rather than overhead lig
hts as much as possible.
13
Outdoor Lighting Tips

• Many lights can be controlled with motion
  detectors, so they only turn on when they are
  needed. Use outdoor lights with a motion detector
  and photocell so they will automatically turn off
  during the day.
• (Philadelphia, Greenwood, Rolling Fork,
  Senatobia, MS)
  
• Turn off architectural lighting (lighting up the
  facility).
  
• Exterior lighting is one of the best places to
  use CFLs because of their long life.
  

Other Electrical Savings Measures
Turn off all unnecessary equipment when not in
use. Personal heaters will not be used (1500 watt
s). Have vendor remove light bulbs from all vendi
ng/snack machines. Turn off computer monitors,
printers, transformers when not in use (power
strip).
14
Heating Savings Measures
Close off unused areas and rooms. Have employees
work in a single zone if possible. Lower heat
settings whenever possible (no higher than 65
degrees). Reduce heat to 55 Degrees during perio
ds of non use such as nights and weekends (turn
off if not freezing weather). Make sure windows
and doors are closed and properly sealed.
Do not heat the drill hall except on drill.
Replace air filters regularly.
Turn off all heaters when outside air
temperature reaches 65 degrees.
Cooling Savings Measures
Close off unused areas and rooms.
Turn off AC after operating hours.
Ensure doors and windows are closed and properly
sealed. Replace air filters regularly. Zone empl
oyees if possible. Close blinds, drapes, or shade
s to prevent solar heating. Use personal fans and
set thermostat to highest level possible for
comfort (no lower than 75 degrees).
15
Water Savings Measures
Repair leaking faucets, toilets and urinals.
Inspect hot water heater semi-annually.
Turn off hot water heaters when not required.
Set hot water temperature to 105 degrees unless
using for dish washing (140 degrees).
Drain sediment from hot water tanks.
Refrigeration Savings Measures
Defrost refrigerators and freezers regularly.
Only use refrigerators for MSARNG food activities
(unplug and open doors when not in use).
Set controls as low as possible for
preservation. Keep doors closed and replace gaske
ts as needed. Clean coils regularly.
16
Building Envelope Savings Measures
Repair or replace broken windows or doors.
Keep doors and windows closed.
Install shades, curtains, or blinds on windows
and doors. Replace weather stripping around windo
ws and doors. Check insulation in ceilings and
roofs. Paint walls with light, reflective color
s. Monitor utility bills! Be familiar with wha
t you are charged and how you are charged.
17
Energy Audits

• We conduct energy audits as often as possible of
  facilities identified as large users.
  
• We are there to assist in reducing
  consumption not to inspect.
  
• We identify methods of saving energy and
  advise the unit POC.
  
• We record energy data in the FM database and
  monitor results.
  
• Requests for audits can be forwarded to
  Chuck Evans or John Harnish.

JFH-MS-ARF-FM Energy Training

• JFH-MS-ARF-FM can provide training to units or
  commands if requested.
  
• Training is similar to this with emphasis on
  individual actions to reduce energy consumption.
  
• Can provide energy pamphlets and stickers as
  requested.
  
• Use the web based energy training at

• Energy Awareness Month Energy Independence
  Depends on Us-Choose Wisely, Use Wisely
  
• October is Energy Awareness Month. Last year's
  theme emphasized the impact that energy choices
  and use can have on securing America's energy
  independence.
• October is Energy Awareness Month. The U. S.
  Department of Energy's, Federal Energy Management
  Program's (FEMP's) 2006 Energy Awareness Month
  theme, Energy Independence Depends on UsChoose
  Wisely, Use Wisely, compelled us to consider how
  energy choices impact our national energy
  security situation. This message and the
  accompanying handout materials reminded all of us
  that each and every individual must conserve.
  Americans are increasingly aware of high energy
  costs and environmental quality issues, but we
  need to be more aware of the energy-efficient
  solutions that are available and actions we can
  take to reduce energy use and costs. Each year
  for Energy Awareness Month (October), FEMP
  provides materials and ideas to help promote
  energy-saving practices at federal facilities.
  Materials include posters, and other promotional
  materials that carry FEMP's energy awareness
  message.

19
The Difference is

If every unit or activity in the MSARNG would
reduce energy consumption by 10, the savings
would equal over 700,000.00. That money could
be used to repair armories or for utility
infrastructure improvement projects to generate
additional savings. Every full-time employee and
/or soldier is an asset for potential savings.
