Day 1: Session 1: Resilient Installations & Energy Micro Grids

In the wake of Hurricane Michael, Congress doubled-down on its commitment to build Tyndall back better and stronger than before. This requires a new paradigm shift a break from traditional design and construction. This session brings together thought leaders from the federal labs and the local utilities to discuss new technologies to deliver energy resiliency for mission assurance.

Energy fuels the mission and how we manage energy is more important than ever. The panel brings together experts from the Air Force, Veteran’s Administration, and Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to highlight some recently completed projects and share some lessons learned and financing mechanisms to bring projects to fruition.

To build a truly resilient installation you must often look beyond the fence line. Bringing in community stakeholders is critical to the installation and building a culture of resiliency. This panel explores opportunities for new partnerships to work collaboratively to benefit both the installation and the community.

This panel brings together subject matter experts from the public- and private-sectors for an interactive discussion around mission assurance through resilient installation and energy microgrids.

In this high-anticipated session, you will learn the Air Force’s plans to turn Tyndall Air Force Base into the “Base of the Future” and a model for other military installations. This session is moderated by Tyndall’s Program Management Office and will feature a number of innovative technologies and solutions to elevate the mission at Tyndall.

In the wake of extreme weather events such as Hurricane Michael and Super Storm Sandy, it is clear that new design standards and innovative building solutions are needed to protect military installations from the impacts of climate change. This session covers the new building requirements and new methods of fortified construction.
