Advisers to the Nation on Science, Engineering, and Medicine
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

The Air Force recognizes that energy is a strategic issue for the United States. To assist the Air Force in addressing this issue, the Air Force Studies Board (AFSB) of the National Research Council (NRC) drafted terms of reference (TOR) in April 2012 for a short workshop to bring together Department of Defense stakeholders and representatives of industry in order to highlight current approaches to industrial process energy with a goal of highlighting potential ways to reduce Air Force industrial process energy consumption.1 The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy, Kevin Geiss, approved the TOR in April 2012 and the NRC approved the TOR in July 2012. The NRC then established the Committee on Energy Reduction at U.S. Air Force Facilities Using Industrial Processes: A Workshop to conduct a workshop, and the 3-day workshop was held on November 5-7, 2012.
The committee appreciates the support of Dr. Kevin Geiss, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy, who articulated a clear set of objectives for the workshop, and that of his staff. In addition, the committee thanks the many expert speakers and guests who contributed immensely to this undertaking. Finally, the committee’s role was limited to planning the workshop. This workshop summary has been prepared by the workshop rapporteur as a factual summary of what occurred at the workshop.

1Since 2006 the AFSB has produced several reports related to Air Force energy consumption, including the following, published by the National Academies Press, Washington, D.C.: A Review of United States Air Force and Department of Defense Aerospace Propulsion Needs (2006); Improving the Efficiency of Engines for Large Nonfighter Aircraft (2007); and Examination of the U.S. Air Force’s Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs (2011). All are available at www.nap.edu.
This report has been reviewed in draft form by individuals chosen for their diverse perspectives and technical expertise, in accordance with procedures approved by the National Research Council’s Report Review Committee. The purpose of this independent review is to provide candid and critical comments that will assist the institution in making its published report as sound as possible and to ensure that the report meets institutional standards for objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the study charge. The review comments and draft manuscript remain confidential to protect the integrity of the deliberative process. We wish to thank the following individuals for their review of this report:
Daniel E. Hastings, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Gwen P. Holdmann, Alaska Center for Energy and Power,
Mark J. Lewis, IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute,
