A program overview of the Department of Energy's In-house energy management program is provided.
A program overview of Federal Energy Management Program efforts to increase energy, environmental, and economic resource efficiency in the Federal Government is presented.
The US government has an enormous cost-saving opportunity as the largest energy user in the world. In 1994, the government spent $8 billion for its 500,000 buildings, it vehicles, and process energy. The US Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) reduces the cost of government and makes it work better through energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, and water conservation. FEMP leads Federal energy efficiency efforts and helps Federal energy managers identify and procure the best, most cost-effective energy-saving projects. It does this through proactive problem solving; an aggressive emphasis on increasing the number and quality of projects; and effective partnerships among agencies, utilities, the private sector, and states. Partnerships lead to increased motivation and education and reduced barriers to successful procurement. As the lead organization implementing legislation and Presidential direction for Federal energy efficiency, FEMP administers an interagency energy committee and task force and collaborates with the DOE national energy laboratories. FEMP works with energy service companies, energy savings product manufacturers, and utilities. This partnership will lead to a $1 billion investment by companies willing to invest in return for a share of the energy cost savings. With FEMP project financing, audits, training and technical assistance, and new technology demonstrations, agencies overcome obstacles to achieving widespread energy efficiency.
This document provides a brief overview of renewable energy programs in the Federal sector.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Executive Order 12902 require that Federal agencies reduce the energy consumed in Federal buildings. Goal was increased to 30% by 2005, compared with 1985. Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) offers a means of achieving this energy reduction goal at no capital cost to the government. ESPC is an alternative to the traditional method of financing energy efficiency improvement in Federal buildings; it involves contracting with energy service companies.
This provides a brief overview of the Federal Energy Management Program: SAVEnergy program. The program provides direct assistance to federal agencies in identifying and implementing energy efficiency and water conservation measures.
As the owner or manager of more than 500,000 facilities, the US government has a superb opportunity to reduce fuel imports and improve environmental quality by using renewable sources of energy. In many Federal applications -- such as irrigation, water heating, indoor and outdoor lighting, or communications -- commercially available renewable technologies are often the most cost-effective option for supplying the needed energy, and they are environmentally friendly. The US Department of Energy, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) helps Federal agencies take advantage of the benefits offered by renewable technologies and apply the renewable provisions of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and Executive Order 12902. FEMP's Renewable Energy Program educates Federal agencies about renewable opportunities and helps agencies implement successful renewable projects. And the opportunities are abundant. In new construction projects, for example, planners can optimize facility energy performance by incorporating renewable energy and energy efficiency measures early in the design process. Renewables are cost-effective in many retrofit projects. They are the clear choice for many remote sites that utility-supplied power does not reach. Their environmental advantages include either zero or reduced air emissions compared with conventional energy sources and no risk of fuel spills.
