SEC. 318. PILOT PROGRAM TO TEST NEW SOFTWARE TO TRACK
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AT CERTAIN MILITARY
INSTALLATIONS.
(a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense may conduct a
pilot program to be known as the Installations Emissions
Tracking Program to evaluate the feasibility and
effectiveness of using software and emerging technologies,
methodologies, and capabilities to track real-time greenhouse
gas emissions from installations of the Department of Defense
and assets of such installations (in this section referred to
as the ``Program'').
(b) Goals.--The goals of the Program are--
(1) to evaluate whether software and emerging technologies,
methodologies, and capabilities are able to effectively track
greenhouse gas emissions at installations of the Department
and assets of such installations in real time; and
(2) to reduce energy costs and increase efficiencies of
such installations and assets.
(c) Locations.--If the Secretary conducts the Program, the
Secretary shall select for participation in the Program four
major installations of the Department, as determined by the
Secretary, located in different geographical regions of the
United States that the Secretary determines--
(1) are prone to producing higher greenhouse gas emissions
than the average installation of the Department;
(2) are in regions that historically have poor air quality;
and
(3) have historically higher than average utility costs as
compared to other installations of the Department.
