9.2 Department of Defense Facilities
In 2006, the Department of Defense (DoD) owned a total of over 330,000 buildings
2
occupying more than 2.0 billion ft of floor space. The DoD accounted for approximately
two-thirds of the federal government’s buildings by number and square footage and
used 244 trillion Btu of energy annually at a cost of $2.6 billion. The DoD continues to
grow and modernize through new facility construction. Its military construction
(MILCON) budget has averaged $6 billion per year during the 5-year period from 2001
through 2005 and grew to $8 billion for fiscal year 2006 (FY06).Based on the volume of
projects for the development of facilities for new and emerging requirements, renovation
and modernization of aging facilities, and support for moving commands and service
members due to base realignment and closure (BRAC), the DoD budget showed a
MILCON volume of nearly $8 billion for FY07 and almost doubled to $15 billion per
year for FY08 through FY11.The DoD has become a leader among government agencies
in implementing sustainable principles, such as energy reduction, recycling and waste
minimization, and lessening the impact on the environment, for planning, design, and
construction through experience and by necessity. Its implementation involves not only
buildings (vertical construction), but also sustainability of the ranges and other
horizontal construction. The DoD has also adopted low-impact development (LID)
practices at many facilities. After the signing of EO 13514 in late 2009, Aston B. Carter
was named as the SSO for the DoD.
