Workshop Findings
7
• JBSA’ s combined energy use makes JBSA CPS Energy’s largest customer and one of DOD largest energy users.
• Community resources can contribute to help JBSA accelerate achievement of goals.
• Improved communication can help define requirements and identify solutions to JBSA issues.
• Concept of a focused Innovation Center/Information Clearinghouse suggested by attendees to support JBSA requirements.
Workshop Recommendation
8
The San Antonio Community and JBSA should consider establishing a JBSA Sustainable Energy Innovation Center to meet the DOD challenges and take advantage of the funding and opportunity to capitalize on the new energy initiatives
Proposed Activities
9
• Demonstrate solutions for achieving energy improvement goals for JBSA
• Accelerate assessment and implementation of new technologies that foster JBSA energy goals
• Provide clearinghouse for evaluating new technology and methods and their effectiveness and limitations
• Maintain a searchable database of ideas, technologies and solutions for JBSA to accelerate adoption
• Solutions will address all aspects of the efficient supply, storage, transmission, management and use of energy.
• Focused on military installations. Lessons learned from the military and the community will be shared, which will leverage activities and accelerate adoption of the best available solutions
Proposed Organization
10
• The JBSA Center would be a project of the DTI (Defense Transformation Institute), a single member LLC of the Texas Research and Technology Foundation.
• The initial agreement would be by MOU between JBSA and DTI. Subsequent agreements could include Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, Partnership Intermediary Agreement or other agreement forms.
• DTI would establish agreements with other local and national innovation collaborators by a variety of agreement forms.
• DTI would establish an advisory board to provide guidance, oversight and advice to DTI and JBSA.
