WIESBADEN, Germany – A U. S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Directorate of Public Works Engineer, Tomasz Filatow, has been named a recipient of the Secretary of the Army 2021 Energy and Water Management Awards in the Individual Exceptional Performance Category for Fiscal Year 2020.
“Mr. Filatow has done an outstanding job with the USAG Wiesbaden Energy Program and this award is very well deserved. He is relentless in pursuit of the program goals and is extremely passionate about his work,” said Rod Oshiro, the director of DPW.
According to the award write up, Filatow has served as the USAG Wiesbaden energy manager for 6 years, stew¬arding the efficiency, renewable and resilience efforts for energy and water across the installation. The Army is always looking for innovative ways to reduce energy and water consumption and Filatow has championed efforts towards these goals.
He has also spearheaded an extensive Energy Savings Performance Contract and the development of the energy and utility program projects for the budget, cooperation with host nation authorities, implementation of the Army Metering Program and an active preventive and corrective maintenance contract for critical facilities.
Filatow’s energy program is comprehensive to include metering, Installation Energy and Water Program, Energy Savings Performance Contracts, Utility purchase agreements and Lifecycle Repair and Renewal Plans.
A project that Filatow is working now is a second energy savings performance contracting program for Wiesbaden. The actual energy cost savings pay for the ESPC efforts on a yearly basis, he said.
“We are currently in a design feasibility study to assist installations in providing energy resilience and energy cybersecurity, reduce energy and water use as well as carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and improve readiness and quality of life,” Filatow said.
The Secretary of the Army Energy and Water Management Awards Program was established in 1979 to recognize installations, small groups and individuals who make significant achievements in energy conservation and water management in support of Army readiness.
This program encourages stewardship of energy and water resources, promotes innovative and effective program management, and reinforces the importance of sound investments in energy and water facilities and infrastructure to improve mission readiness.
It recognizes significant achievements in advancing the Army’s energy and water program strategic goals, improving energy security and sustainability on Army installations.
The award categories are Energy and Water Resilience Program Effectiveness, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Innovation and New Technology and Individual Exceptional Performance.
The Army has improved energy resilience and increased the capacity of renew-able energy produced on Army installations largely because of the initiative, innovation and commitment of these award winners.
