Abstract
The focus of this research was to examine several
critical factors attendent to the issues of energy conservation
and efficiency in major systems acquisition as viewed
by the U.S. Defense Aerospace Industry. These factors
include energy conservation acquisition strategies,
management programs and contingency plans. The research
objectives were (1) to investigate how the Department of
Defense (DOD) motivates Industry to conserve energy, (2)
to examine Industry's views for conserving energy in the
acquisition process and (3) to provide recommendations based
upon Industry's views.
The results of the research indicate that selected
acquisition concepts such as Life Cycle Costing, Value
Incentive Clauses, Specifications and Profit, in addition
to management programs and contingency plans, can effectively
motivate Industry to conserve energy. The study's major
contribution is that it presents the candid views of Industry
for DOD consideration. Recommendations are presented to
increase DOD's emphasis and support of energy conservation
and efficiency in the acquisition process.
