1 INFORMATION FOR SPONSORS April 25-29, 2016, Wiesbaden, Germany Advanced Net Zero Energy, Water and Waste Training Supported by Advanced Training Course Co-sponsored under the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program (ref.no. G5093) It is our great pleasure to announce the Advanced Training Course (ATC) Advanced Net Zero Energy, Water and Waste Training under the umbrella of the NATO SPS program to be held at the US Army Facilities in Wiesbaden, Germany, on April 25-29, Net Zero Energy, Water, and Waste is a holistic strategy founded on long-standing sustainable practices that incorporate emerging best practices to manage energy, water, and solid waste at military installations. The intent of the Net Zero initiative is to enhance mission effectiveness and increase installation resiliency. A Net Zero installation applies an integrated approach to the management of energy, water, and waste based on reduction, reuse, and recovery of waste streams, and by converting these waste streams to resource values. This vision implies the development of long-term Energy, Water, and Waste management components of the installation's Master Plan.

2 Become Our Sponsor The ATC is supported by the NATO Headquarters Science for Peace and Security Program, the US Army, and the German Ministry of Defense. This training course is designed for military decision makers, master planners, and facility managers of NATO Member and Partner countries. Approximately 120 to 150 participants from NATO and partner countries will be invited to the workshop. The training classes will be conducted by international experts in the areas of energy, water, and waste planning, specifically as those strategies apply to military garrisons and non-military communities. Training will be complemented by relevant technical tours, technical exhibits, and moderated formal and informal discussions. The overall vision of this workshop is to disseminate concepts and best practices through the ATC course that will not only benefit NATO member and partner countries by helping them better manage their fixed military installations, but that will also promote green innovation and knowledge transfer to civilian communities, thereby contributing to thre achievement of national energy and sustainability goals, energy security, and energy independence.
