 We all have an obligation to the environment to conserve our scarce natural resources; and the Army's policy for privatized housing requires residents to be responsible for the consumption of their utilities. This policy is mandated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Department of the Army's (DA) Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) with Congressional support.
Live Army Green is the Army's communications program for Soldiers and their Families to gain a better understanding of the OSD and the DA's utility policy. As your privatization partner, we provide energy saving tips, programs and events as well as conservation education at each installation.
The purpose of the program is to:
- Conserve our natural resources and reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil.
- Re-invest energy savings into housing projects for improved housing renovations, community centers, playgrounds, resident activities, etc.
- Reward Soldiers for their successful contribution to the conservation effort.
How it works:
- Each resident of privatized housing will receive a utility consumption baseline determined by the average usage of similar homes.
- The established average baseline is automatically accounted for by the utility component of the BAH.
- Residents who consume less than the baseline will be rewarded for their conservation efforts.
- Residents who consume more than the baseline will be responsible for the difference between their consumption and the baseline.
