Workshop Findings
• 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.
8
Workshop Recommendation
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
9
Proposed Activities
• 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
10
Proposed Organization
• 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.
