Re-defining the U.S. Air Force’s resilient energy planning

With bases spanning three continents, the United States Air Force is seeking a universal solution for its multifaceted energy performance goals.

To achieve this, we used our Rosetta methodology which is a combination of a web-based analytics platform, workshops, gameboarding and lessons learned that result in a consensus-built roadmap.

We created a bespoke Resilient Energy Scorecard combining multiple factors within five overarching criteria essential to a resilient infrastructure. To clearly define The U.S. Air Force’s energy performance goals, the scorecard includes robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, response and recovery.

This system was also used retrospectively to assess the risks at Tyndall Air Force Base, which was decimated in 2018 during Hurricane Michael, incurring an estimated $5 billion in damage. The analysis was used to not only further calibrate and validate the insight that the analysis can provide, but also provide invaluable insight into the optimization of the ongoing rebuild effort.

We have deployed this methodology at several U.S. Air Force bases as part of the initial roll out, with a broader deployment across all Air Force installations anticipated to start in late 2021.
