Tinker AFB is home to the heavy industrial Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex and recently reported the base is \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinker.af.mil\/news\/story.asp?id=123460512\">on track for big energy savings in 2015<\/a>\u201d. Upcoming projects for the Tinker Energy Team will include energy efficiency in buildings and infrastructure. <strong>Simplifying the Energy Audit Process<\/strong> The REM approach makes preliminary energy assessments simple and cost-effective by providing energy insights based on a building\u2019s construction, geometry, and local climate conditions. The result is a 3D model of the USAF installation complete with buildings and infrastructure. The REM analysis shows energy consumption graphically, and helps identify retrofit measures that would generate the greatest reduction in energy consumption. The demonstration at Tinker AFB will utilize\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sustainability.autodesk.com\/available-solutions\/rapid-energy-modeling\/\">Autodesk\u2019s REM technology<\/a>\u00a0to help Air Force facility energy managers rapidly assess energy use and prioritize buildings and measures to reduce energy demand and costs. The REM project also sets a precedent for how the Department of Defense can quickly assess energy consumption at all its buildings \u2014 which includes more than 845,000 facilities across 800 bases and 4,127 defense sites. As part of the Air Force Alternative Energy Program, AFRL is working to identify and demonstrate solutions that improve the Air Force\u2019s energy posture.\u00a0 Reduced energy cost and increased energy security are top priorities across the U.S. Government, which recently mandated each agency to promote building energy conservation, efficiency, and management, and to report on building energy usage on a regular basis. \u201cA validation project with the Department of Defense found that Autodesk\u2019s REM approach was estimated at 96% less expensive than traditional, more labor intensive energy auditing approaches,\u201d said Emma Stewart, director of Sustainability Solutions at Autodesk. \u201cAutodesk\u2019s REM technology will enable the Air Force to quickly get a handle on how much energy each facility is using \u2014 and enable the USAF to find ways to reduce\u00a0overall energy consumption.\u201d Read more about the Department of Defense\u2019s validation project with Rapid Energy Modeling and Autodesk\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sustainability.autodesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/REM_CaseStudy.pdf\">here<\/a>. &nbsp; <strong>About Autodesk<\/strong> Autodesk helps people imagine, design and create a better world.
