Measuring Performance and Benchmarking Project Management at the Department of Energy by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment,Committee for Oversight and Assessment of U.S. Department of Energy Project Management Pdf

In 1997, Congress, in the conference report, H.R. 105-271, to the FY1998 Energy and Water Development Appropriation Bill, directed the National Research Council (NRC) to carry out a series of assessments of project management at the Department of Energy (DOE). The final report in that series noted that DOE lacked an objective set of measures for assessing project management quality. The department set up a committee to develop performance measures and benchmarking procedures and asked the NRC for assistance in this effort. This report presents information and guidance for use as a first step toward development of a viable methodology to suit DOE's needs. It provides a number of possible performance measures, an analysis of the benchmarking process, and a description ways to implement the measures and benchmarking process.

Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment,Committee on Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair for Federal Facilities Pdf

The deteriorating condition of federal facilities poses economic, safety, operational, and environmental risks to the federal government, to the achievement of the missions of federal agencies, and to the achievement of public policy goals. Primary factors underlying this deterioration are the age of federal facilities-about half are at least 50 years old-and decades of inadequate investment for their maintenance and repair. These issues are not new and there are no quick fixes. However, the current operating environment provides both the impetus and the opportunity to place investments in federal facilities' maintenance and repair on a new, more sustainable course for the 21st Century. Despite the magnitude of investments, funding for the maintenance and repair of federal facilities has been inadequate for many years, and myriad projects have been deferred. Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities identifies processes and practices for transforming the current portfolio of federal facilities into one that is more economically, physically, and environmentally sustainable. This report addresses ways to predict or quantify the outcomes that can be expected from a given level of maintenance and repair investments in federal facilities or facilities' systems, and what strategies, measures, and data should be in place to determine the actual outcomes of facilities maintenance and repair investments.

Deep Energy Retrofit—Case Studies by Ruediger Lohse,Ove C. Mørck,Alexander Zhivov Pdf

This book describes results of research conducted with the goal of providing a framework, selected tools, and guidelines to significantly reduce energy use (by more than 50%) in government and public buildings. The scope of the book is limited to public buildings that were constructed before the 1980s with low internal loads (e.g., office buildings, dormitories, barracks, public housing, and educational buildings) and that were undergoing major renovation. The book contains description and analysis of 26 well-documented case studies from Europe (Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Montenegro, The Netherlands, and the UK) and the USA. After these data were collected, the case studies were analyzed with respect to energy use (before and after renovation), reasons for undertaking the renovation, co-benefits achieved, resulting cost-effectiveness, and the business models followed. Finally, “lessons learned” were compiled and compared. Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) is a major building renovation project in which site energy use intensity (including plug loads) has been reduced by at least 50% from the pre-renovation baseline with a corresponding improvement in indoor environmental quality and comfort. Lessons learned from the case studies and experiences of the team clearly indicate that DER can be achieved with the application of “bundles” of a limited number of core technologies readily available on the market. Specific characteristics of some of these core technology bundles generally depend on the technologies available on an individual nation’s market, on the minimum requirements of national standards, and on economics (as determined by a life cycle cost [LCC] analysis).

Bringing Fusion to the U.S. Grid by National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine,National Academy of Engineering,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board,Board on Energy and Environmental Systems,Board on Physics and Astronomy,Committee on the Key Goals and Innovation Needed for a U S Fusion Pilot Plant Pdf

Fusion energy offers the prospect of addressing the nation's energy needs and contributing to the transition to a low-carbon emission electrical generation infrastructure. Technology and research results from U.S. investments in the major fusion burning plasma experiment known as ITER, coupled with a strong foundation of research funded by the Department of Energy (DOE), position the United States to begin planning for its first fusion pilot plant. Strong interest from the private sector is an additional motivating factor, as the process of decarbonizing and modernizing the nation's electric infrastructure accelerates and companies seek to lead the way. At the request of DOE, Bringing Fusion to the U.S. Grid builds upon the work of the 2019 report Final Report of the Committee on a Strategic Plan for U.S. Burning Plasma Research to identify the key goals and innovations - independent of confinement concept - that are needed to support the development of a U.S. fusion pilot plant that can serve as a model for producing electricity at the lowest possible capital cost.

Introduction to Wind Energy Systems by Hermann-Josef Wagner,Jyotirmay Mathur Pdf

Authors have tried to strike a balance between a short book chapter and a very detailed book for subject experts. There were three prime reasons behind doing so: first, the field is quite interdisciplinary and requires simplified presentation for a person from non-parent discipline. Second reason for this short-version of a full book is that both the authors have seen students and technically oriented people, searching for this type of book on wind energy. Third reason and motivation was considering engineers who are starting their career in wind industry. This book is targeted to present a good starting background to such professionals.

Land Operations 2021 by Andrew B. Godefroy Pdf

To mitigate the unpredictability of future conflict and prepare the Army for the challenges it will face in the future, the Army has produced Land Operations 2021: The Force Employment Concept for Canada's Army of Tomorrow, which serves as the guide for Land Force development through to the year 2021. [...] Regardless of the type of operation undertaken, the realities of the future security environment will demand land forces that are capable of rapid transition from one operation to the next, as well as conduct of the three types of operations simultaneously if and when necessary. [...] The following year the force employment concept (FEC) for the IA appeared, while the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts (DLSC) launched 'The Futures Project' with the aim of completing the conceptual design of the Army of Tomorrow that would evolve out of the Interim Army. [...] Its doctrine is based on the manoeuvre approach to operations in which shattering the enemy's overall cohesion and will to fight is paramount, and is achieved by targeting his center of gravity.2 This approach to Land Force operations had its genesis in the post-Cold War army concept debates of the early to mid-1990s and was further developed into the Interim Army following the decision to underta [...] The strength of the operational functions stems from the indivisible integration of capabilities and the incorporation of the moral, physical and informational planes.
