§2816 Consideration of energy security and energy resilience in life-cycle cost for military construction

Summary

Requires the Secretary in charge to add long-term energy security and resilience as a required feature when calculating the life-cycle cost of certain military construction projects. The goal is that the building can keep doing its mission during disasters, attacks, or other unexpected events. That energy-resilience requirement must not be traded off against other design needs. The Secretary must use the latest NIST life-cycle cost program to consider on-site distributed energy assets in the design. Definitions: "covered military construction project" means a project for a facility used for critical functions during disasters, attacks, or other unplanned events. "Facility" includes at least these 10 types: operations centers; nuclear command and control; warning and attack assessment centers; continuity of government sites; missile defense; air defense; hospitals; National Guard armories and readiness centers; communications facilities; and satellite or missile launch and control facilities.
