Sustainability Management and Plans +
MSHC staff has extensive experience in federal sustainability requirements, most notably Executive Order
(EO) 13514. MSHC staff has worked on developing regional sustainability programs and strategic sustainability
performance plans, including:
-
Sustainability metric tracking for GHG management;
-
Energy and water usage and conservation;
-
LEED certification;
-
Fleet management;
-
Sustainable acquisition (green procurement);
-
Pollution prevention;
-
Electronics stewardship;
-
Sustainable planning; and
-
Waste diversion.
Previously, MSHC staff managed and executed a project to understand and evaluate MCIWEST’s business
processes to help develop the MCIWEST Sustainability Management Program and Draft MCIWEST Order 5090.3.
MSHC staff also mapped the Environmental Management System (EMS) business process (e.g., Goals, Objectives,
Targets, and Actions) to meet the EMS implementation requirements for EOs 13423 and 13514, DoD SSPP, and
USMC SSPP with a SQL-based web application called the Sustainability Management Tool (SMT). The SMT is
an enterprise-wide tool to centralize and standardize sustainability mandates, and projects planned to
in order to meet those mandates. The SMT collects sustainability metrics across each facility in the region
and provides real time analysis on the facility's progress towards meeting the mandates. The SMT includes
features that roll-up facility sustainability metrics to be viewed at the regional level, as well as reporting
functionality to access specific sustainability metrics. The SMT gives managers and key decision makers the
information needed to prioritize resources in order to achieve the maximum sustainability benefits.
MSHC staff supported NAVFAC SW and MCIWEST in presenting the SMT to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for
Energy and Environment and Commanding Officers and Leadership staff at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. MSHC continues to provide user support to the SMT, as well as conducts
training for MCIWEST users, both in-person and via webinar.
MSHC staff also prepared Installation Sustainability Performance Plans for several MCIWEST installations to
track compliance and recommend projects to meet the sustainability metrics outlined in the MCIWEST Order
5090.3. The Installation Sustainability Performance Plans provide the sustainability metrics and projects
that is to be loaded on the SMT.
MSHC staff also compiled global Department of Navy sustainability requirements in order to assess their status
with meeting the metrics laid out in various sustainability mandates for NAVFAC Headquarters.
