Summary
The net zero energy installation (NZEI) assessment process is a methodology that can be used to improve an installation's energy self-sufficiency by minimizing energy consumption and developing local renewable energy resources. This report summarizes lessons learned from past NZEI assessments across the military services and highlights six NZEI case studies. This report also reviews the NZEI assessment process and identifies the limitations of isolated NZEI assessments. A portfolio assessment approach involving multiple sites is introduced as a way for a service or agency to develop a comprehensive energy strategy. To further contribute to DoD energy efficiency and renewable energy project deployment, this report also summarizes lessons learned from implementing large-scale renewable energy projects at selected DoD installations.
