## Topics	

- UESC Project Data Update
- Update on UESC Analysis
- Federal Agency Executive Order Goals Progress
- Legislation Update

## UESC Rate of Investment

**UESC Project Update**

## Fiscal Year Investment Totals

**UESC Project Update**

**Notes:**
FY 2005 project represent some proposed projects.  There are still $37 million of proposed projects in the database for FY2004.  There is typically about a year lag time to receive data from the previous fiscal year.

## Examining the Influence of FEMP on UESCs

## 
“My budget substantially reduces or eliminates more than 150 government programs that are not getting results, or duplicate current efforts, or do not fulfill essential priorities. The principle here is clear: a taxpayer dollar must be spent wisely, or not at all.” President Bush, 2005 State of the Union Address, February 2005 
“...are they doing what they're supposed to be doing? Are they performing up to snuff? Is this a legitimate ongoing requirement of the federal government? Are there better ways to provide these services? Are there consolidations in savings that are possible?” Vice-President Dick Cheney, Fox News Interview, February 2005

- Quotations

## Background	

- Program performance evaluation is a high priority for the administration and congress; poorly performing programs are prime targets for budget cuts.
- In response, EERE has established well-defined performance plans and measures of performance for its portfolio of programs; EERE programs are now, more than ever, held accountable for their performance.
- Recordkeeping and metrics development are key activities that programs must conduct in support of performance reporting.

## UESC Metrics Development

- FEMP has developed a “Logic Model” which identifies and describes inputs, outputs, and outcomes associated with the activities of the UESC program.
***Outputs****: direct products of the program activities such as number of people trained, number of projects receiving technical assistance*
***Outcomes****: benefits experienced by the customers in response to receiving a service (UESC completed, energy savings generated)*

## UESC Metrics Development

- The outputs and outcomes in the logic model are EERE performance measures for FEMP.
- We have a database that contains information on UESCs, and all FEMP UESC activities and participants covering FY’s 2000-2004.
- This information allows us to correlate the outputs and outcomes.

## UESC Metrics Development

- What is the degree of influence that FEMP has on the UESC implementation and the desired outcome (energy savings)?
- Key question: with so many external influences, how much outcome can FEMP claim credit for?
- We are studying relationships in the database to see if there are correlations between participation in FEMP UESC activities (training, meetings, publications) and establishment of UESCs.
- Additional survey work of FEMP UESC federal and utility participants may be needed.

## What Can FUPWG Do to Help	?

- Support current reporting and recordkeeping efforts
- Support evaluation efforts including responding to future surveys, if any
- Increase understanding of the need to report program performance – for each activity you participate in, think about how the outcome is being reported to FEMP. If you haven’t been approached to provide data on UESC activities, please contact FEMP.

## Federal Agency Executive Order Goal Status

## Agency Progress Toward EO Goals

- Most agencies are **NOT** on track to meet energy reduction goals
- Federal government is on track to meet 2005 renewable goal
- Most agencies are **NOT** on track to meet water efficiency goals

**Energy Goal**: 30% reduction by 2005 and 35% by 2010
**Renewable Goal**: 2.5% of electricity generated by renewable sources by 2005
**Water Efficiency Goal**: Implement water plans by FY05 and 4 Best Management Practices and by FY10

## Agency Progress toward Energy Goals

**Notes:**
As reported in the DRAFT Annual Report to Congress for FY2004 – these results should be considered preliminary.

## Most agencies are NOT on track to meet the energy goals 

- Green indicates on
- track to meet 2010 goal

**Agency Progress Toward 30% and 35% Efficiency Goals thru FY 2004**

**Notes:**
Consider these results preliminary- from the FY 2004 Annual Report to Congress DRAFT report.

## Federal government on track to meet renewable goal for 2005

**Agency Progress Toward           Renewable Energy Goal**

**Federal government on track to meet renewable goal for 2005**

**Notes:**
Consider these results preliminary- from the FY 2004 Annual Report to Congress DRAFT report.

## Most Agencies are not on track to meet water efficiency goal

**Most Agencies are not on track to meet water efficiency goal**

- Green indicates on
- track to meet 2010 goal

- % Implementation of Best Management Practices

*Each Federal site is required to implement at least four site-wide Best Management Practices by 2010*

**Notes:**
Consider these results preliminary- from the FY 2004 Annual Report to Congress DRAFT report.  Please note that agency reporting on Water goals is “spotty” – so this may not be representative of the true water efficiency

BMP = Best Management Practices.  Each Federal site is required to implement at least FOUR BMPs.  There are ten BMP categories:
Public Outreach and Education
Distribution System Audits and Leak Detection and Repair
Efficient Irrigation
Toilets and Urinals
Showers and Faucets
Boilers
Single Pass Cooling
Cooling Tower
Misc High Consuming Water Equipment
 Reuse/Recycle

Defense water consumption dropped 20% from 2000 to 2004
 Civilian agencies water consumption increased 10% between 2000-2004

## Legislation Update

## Comprehensive Energy Legislation

- House passed *H.R. 6 – Energy Policy Act of 2005* on April 21
- Senate continuing to work on legislation; Pete Domenici (R/NM) is working with members of Energy and Natural Resources committee to craft bipartisan bill for May committee mark up.
