Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade2

FEMP Mission

The U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) works with key individuals to accomplish energy change within organizations by bringing

expertise from all levels of project and policy implementation to enable federal agencies to

meet energy‐related goals and provide energy leadership to the country.

Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

FEMP Strategic Goals

Federal Goals for 2025 • 40% GHG reduction • 25% energy intensity

improvement• 30% renewable energy use• 36% water savings

• Meet GHG, energy, and water goals for 2025 • Reduce GHG emissions of Federal operations – through energy efficiency and

renewables• Provide energy and sustainability leadership to the Nation

• Set examples / models of what can be done and replicated• Lead efficiency and sustainability industries towards greater success• Establish clear process and procedures,

which can be broadly leveraged

From March 2015 EO 13963


• Year‐long project• Comprehensive technical services • Topics adjusted to agency needs• Strong agency involvement and champions

Interagency Partnerships


FEMP‐Department of Transportation Partnership

• In effect 2013 ‐ 2014• FEMP assisted DOT in the following areas:

• Improved Fleet Management and Fuel Performance by Tracking fuel consumption, use of alternative fuel vehicles, Vehicle inventory reduction

• Sustainable, Energy‐Efficient Buildings By Energy evaluations, Establishing methodology for less resource intensive audit method, Audit training program for DOT employees, Technical assistance for commissioning, Renewable optimization screening, and Water efficiency

• Water Conservation by Improved data collection, Water audits, low‐cost and no‐cost water efficiency measures

• Co‐generation and/or renewable energy generation by identifying potential sites



An energy and water audit was performed through this partnership at the Ajo Air Route Surveillance Radar Tower.

Energy efficiency improvements through “desk audits.”• From a group of 262 unstaffed Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) radar facilities with standardized floor plans, the team visited 26 facilities and was able to develop detailed site evaluation summaries and extrapolate cost and energy savings across the remaining 236 radar facilities.

• “Desk audit” tool resulted in $1M in government savings, helped FAA increase facility audits nearly fourfold, and improved DOT’s White House Sustainability/Energy Scorecard ratings.


• Vehicle fleet sustainability• Sustainable Buildings• GreenGov Presidential Award

FEMP‐Department of Interior Partnership

In effect 2014 ‐ 2015 FEMP assisted DOI in the following areas under this program:

– In‐depth Renewable Energy study of the 50 most promising sites.– Energy Efficiency analysis of selected sites.– Technical support to Headquarters, Regional, and Park staff on topics such as

technical assessment; costing estimates; RFP development; greenhouse gas accounting and reduction.

– Training on energy audits, GHG reduction, project finance, and measurement and verification.

– Diesel Hybrid Analysis of the ~400 diesel systems located across the National Parks Service to identify opportunities for installation of hybrid systems.

– Fleet Analysis to develop park‐based strategies for reducing petroleum use.


FEMP‐Department of Interior Partnership• NPS A Call to Action campaign• 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the NPS which allows us to reflect and

celebrate our accomplishments and to prepare for the second century• This campaign rallies all employees and partners to advance a shared

vision toward 2016• Further describes specific goals and measurable actions that

chart a new direction to the NPS as it enters its second century• DOI’s goal: Recommit to exemplary energy and environmental stewardship

and public enjoyment of these places in the second century


FEMP‐Department of Interior Partnership

• Marketing Strategy for NPS’s Go Green Initiative 100th Year Celebration• Interactive Maps of Past, Present, and Future NPS/FEMP/Clean Cities RE and fleet management projects

• Electronic flipbook of selected NPS/FEMP RE projects • Renewable Energy Implementation Strategy

Alcatrez Island


FEMP‐NASA Partnership

• Finalizing one‐year, 2 phase agreement on Strategic Energy Investment Plan:• Phase 1: Deep Dive with REopt for RE opportunities at 15 facilities• Phase 2: Review/comment on their Strategic Energy Investment Implementation

Plan Program will also help NASA with:

• Prioritizing RE prospects which reduce water use, GHG emissions, and electricity consumption

• Microgrid analysis, energy resiliency, and energy storage planning

• Bringing emerging technologies to NASA’s consideration


FEMP‐Department of Commerce Partnership

FEMP/Department of Commerce Partnership• September 2015 to September 2016• Addresses five areas of concern to DOC

• Metering Assessments• Facility Audits and Sustainability analysis,

including training of DOC staff and meeting audit deadlines at NOAA and PTO.

• Education and Awareness via weekly e‐mail blasts

• Renewable Energy potential and prioritization of prospects.

• Bringing emerging technologies to DOC’s consideration

• Going forward FEMP will continue to work with DOC to implement projects resulting from these efforts.

Energy Audits, Training & Sustainability AnalysisScope:a. Develop cost‐ effective EISA 432 compliant

audit and Sustainable Building (SB) evaluation systems

b. Provide training to facility staff for audit capability and identify project opportunities.

Goal: Least cost methodology to achieve EISA 432 compliance. At least 5 facility surveys and 10 SB evaluations completed with DOC in‐house staff in FY 16.

DOC‐Audits


DOC‐Audits

Energy Audit Training: USPTO Alexandria• Two‐day building energy assessment training

(October 28th – 29th)• Building energy and water efficiency• Renewable energy

• Classroom component• Educational presentations• Building energy analysis worksheets and

hands‐on calculations• Renewable energy modeling (e.g.,

PVWatts, SAM)• Field work component
