The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (Huntsville Center) Resource Efficiency Manager (REM) program increases installation energy program effectiveness by identifying programs, practices and other opportunities reducing energy and water costs through a contracted subject matter expert.
The program is self-sustaining as costs are offset by savings generated from execution of REM-identified projects and energy conservation measures (ECM's).
REMs provide a vital link across installations to develop site energy programs to secure resources for sustainability and renewable energy assets.
Serving as the “energy boots-on-the-ground” to support installation energy efforts and overarching enterprise goals, REMs impart on-site knowledge and understanding to facilitate development and execution of energy goals.
REMs accomplish these goals by:
- Supporting facility repair and construction activities (including providing design review comments)
- Project management support identification of energy savings projects
- Construction coordination and oversight
- Facility repair and renewal projects
- Other support activities to ensure installation-wide energy efficiency and water conservation measures are incorporated into new construction
