“If lifecycle cost-effective, as compared to other
reasonably available technologies, not less than 30 percent of the hot
water demand for each new Federal building or Federal building
undergoing a major renovation be met through the installation and use
of solar hot water heaters.’’
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
Military Bases
A solar energy system designed and developed by FLS Energy is an excellent way to incorporate renewable energy into a military base’s everyday energy needs. Our solar electric and solar thermal systems can provide immediate savings and help meet renewable energy goals. From base dining facilities and housing to laundry facilities and swimming pools, FLS Energy has experience in providing solar energy to our country’s military bases.
Military Family Housing
FLS Energy can provide state-of-the art solar thermal systems that can be integrated into either existing or new family housing units. These systems can provide immediate savings and meet long-term renewable energy goals. Depending on base location, FLS Energy can provide funding for these systems using our unique Solar Energy Purchase Agreement.
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) 2007
EISA 2007’s mandate for solar hot water is gaining momentum as nearly every new project with hot water demand is requiring solar thermal systems. Per EISA 2007, 30% of the hot water demand of a new Federal building or major renovation must be provided by solar. For projects such as barracks, housing, lodging, dining facilities, and fitness centers, this requirement is driving the need for solar hot water systems. FLS Energy is a leader in designing and installing systems for all the key solar hot water applications for the Military. As new projects are released, FLS Energy is ready to partner with military contractors to address this requirement.

What Advantages Does Solar Thermal From FLS Energy Offer For Military Applications?
US Military and VA facilities across the country are challenged with the need to address Federal energy mandates. FLS Energy recognizes that the goals of reducing energy intensity on an MBTU/Sq ft basis and increasing the use of renewable energy are impacted by limited funding, lengthy budget cycles, and limited maintenance resources. In this environment, Energy Managers must carefully prioritize their renewable energy investment dollars to achieve maximum impact per dollar. If
