Buckley’s Energy Action Month kicks off at the beginning of each October to raise energy conservation awareness and achieve a reduction in facility energy use.
In 2012, the Air Force met or exceeded four major goals: reduce energy intensity by 21.2 percent; reduce potable water intensity by 18.1 percent; reduce non-potable industrial, landscaping and agricultural water consumption by 4.6 percent; and ensure renewable electricity accounted for 5.5 percent of electricity consumed.
