STRATEGY TO IMPLEMENT THE PRESIDENT'S WATER AND ENERGY INITIATIVE

[Executive Order 13423, January 24, 2007]{.underline}

"*Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation
Management"*

(November 27, 2007)

**Energy Management Program Key Stakeholders**

Mark Ewing PBS

Director, GSA agency

Energy Center of Expertise (PBS) Tenants OMB and DOE

[BACKGROUND]{.underline}

On January 24, 2007 President George W. Bush issued Executive Order
13423, *Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation
Management* stating "It is the policy of the United Station that Federal
agencies conduct their environmental, transportation, and energy-related
activities under the law in support of their respective missions in an
environmentally, economically and fiscally sound, integrated,
continuously improving, efficient, and sustainable manner."

[PRODUCTS and SERVICE REQUIRED]{.underline}

Pursuant to final guidance issued to implement the policy, goals, and
objectives of Executive Order 13423, GSA shall apply the following:

(1) [Improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of
    the agency, through reduction of energy intensity]{.underline} --
    Reduce energy intensity by 3 percent annually through the end of
    fiscal year 2015, or 30 percent by the end of fiscal year 2015,
    relative to the agency's energy use in fiscal year 2003.

(2) [Half of statutorily required renewable energy come from new
    renewable sources]{.underline} -- Ensure that at least half of the
    statutorily required renewable energy consumed by the agency in a
    fiscal year comes from new renewable sources.

(3) [To extent feasible, agency implements renewable energy generation
    projects on agency property for agency use]{.underline} -- The
    agency implements renewable energy generation projects on agency
    property for agency use.

(4) [Life Cycle Cost Analysis]{.underline} \-- Consideration of
    life-cycle costs and savings in planning and making determinations
    about investments in all capital assets, services, and procurements,
    which will lower the government's costs, achieve sustainable design
    principles, reduce energy and water consumption, and reduce the
    environmental impact/footprint of the government's operations.

(5) [Reduce water consumption by 2% annually through or total of 16% by
    end of FY 2015]{.underline} -- Beginning in FY 2008, reduce water
    consumption intensity, relative to fiscal year 2007, by 2 percent
    annually through the end of fiscal year 2007, by 2 percent through
    the end of fiscal year 2015 or 16 percent by the end of fiscal year
    2015.

(6) [Advanced Metering]{.underline} -- The requirement to have and
    implement a metering plan as required in EPACT 2005 will be
    monitored and assessed on Presidential Energy Scorecard.

(7) [New Construction]{.underline} -- The requirement on the percent of
    new building designs that are 30% more efficient if life cycle cost
    effective remains the same.

(8) [Compliance with OMB guidance]{.underline} -- OMB will track and
    report on agencies' level of project investment as a percentage of
    facility energy costs in the comments column GSA will meet all
    reporting requirements.

[OBJECTIVE]{.underline}

GSA's objective is to comply with the requirements of this Executive
Order and to establish an environmental stewardship program that serves
as a model to the Federal Community. This initiative requires a
"one-GSA" approach that leverages the strengths and resources of the
agency as a whole, resulting in a unified outcome.

PBS Energy Center, working with the Internal Nationwide Environmental
Working Group, will expand communication and information opportunities
to all GSA employees on energy and water consumption

[DEADLINES]{.underline}

PBS Energy Center has variety of deadlines to meet.

[APPROACH]{.underline}

-   Track agency energy performance in every building where GSA pays a
    utility invoice through continuous administration of Energy Usage
    and Analysis System and calculate agency energy performance for
    above external and internal reports, and share this information in
    an intranet based system available to all GSA associates;

-   Provide utility energy savings contracts to all GSA property
    managers as well as other federal agency property managers through
    the administration of the GSA Public Utility areawide contract, of
    which, there are 120 nationwide. This fulfills GSA's leadership role
    in providing alternative financing contract mechanisms which allow
    energy efficiency measures to be implemented in the absence of
    government appropriations and is specifically mentioned in the
    recent White House challenge.

    -   Provide GSA implementation guidance of Energy Savings
        Performance Contracting through oversitght of the Energy Center
        of Expertise energy project funding business decision matrix.

-   Intervene nationwide in State Public Utility Commission regulatory
    rate cases to protect Federal government interests in rate
    proceedings before investor owned utility companies specifically
    impacting demand management capabilities and economic incentives
    which are essential if GSA is to operate its building inventory
    efficiently and effectively.

-   Issue competitive renewable energy contracts for electricity in
    accordance with DOE guidance for GSA regions and other federal
    agencies upon request;

-   Establish regional energy management strategies, monitor regional
    progress towards individual performance goals and constantly access
    GSA's ability to meet Executive Order requirements;

-   Administer BA55 and BA61 budget Strategic Action Plan Initiatives
    for energy efficiency measures associated with energy retrofits of
    mechanical systems in existing buildings and implementation of
    advanced metering plan consistent with related goals of Executive
    Order 13423;

-   Coordinate and submits the agency external reports required to DOE
    and OMB;

-   Serve as GSA's representative on the DOE Federal Interagency Energy
    Task Force and other interagency policy working groups;

-   Sponsor Gov Energy along with DOE and DoD which is the largest
    federal energy management training event.

-   Provide GSA policy guidance of Energy Savings Performance
    Contracting through its business decision matrix.
