EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report on Federal Energy Management for Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 provides information on

energy consumption in Federal buildings, operations, and vehicles and equipment, and

documents activities conducted by Federal agencies to meet the statutory requirements of Title

V, Part 3, of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§

8251-8259, 8262, 8262b-k, and Title VIII of NECPA, 42 U.S.C. § 8287-8287c. Implementation

activities undertaken during FY 2002 by the Federal agencies under the Energy Policy Act of

1992 (EPACT) and Executive Order 13123 are also discussed in this report. 

Based on reports submitted to the Department of Energy (DOE) by 29 Federal agencies, the total

primary energy consumption of the Government of the United States, including energy

consumed to produce, process, and transport energy, was 1.4 quadrillion British Thermal Units

(quads) during FY 2002.1 These 1.4 quads consumed by the Government in buildings and

operations to provide essential services to its citizens, including the defense of the Nation,

represent approximately 1.4 percent of the total 97.61 quads2 used in the United States. In total,

the Federal Government is the single largest energy consumer in the Nation, although its pattern

of consumption is widely dispersed geographically.

The Government consumed 1.0 quads during FY 2002 when measured in terms of energy

actually delivered to the point of use (site-delivered energy consumption). Unless otherwise

noted, this report uses the site-measured conversion factors to convert common units for

electricity and steam to British Thermal Units (Btu). The total site-delivered energy

consumption in FY 2002 was 27.8 percent less than the FY 1985 base year. This reduction of

402.8 trillion Btu, which reflects both a drop in Government activity and the success of energy

management efforts, could satisfy the entire energy need of the State of North Dakota for more

than one year.3

 The total cost of the 1.0 quads was $9.7 billion in FY 2002.4

 This is $778.8

million less than the $10.5 billion reported in FY 1985, a 7.4 percent5 decrease in nominal costs. 

In constant 2002 dollars, this equates to a decrease of 38.3 percent from $15.7 billion in FY 1985

to $9.7 billion in FY 2002. The reductions in energy costs from 1985 are attributable primarily
 

6Cost and consumption figures for FY 1985 may be different from those published in last year’s Annual Report

since Federal agencies update their files and provide revisions to their data.

to reduced energy prices and reduced Government activity, although they also reflect the effects

of agency energy management efforts. Many other variables also contribute to fluctuations in

annual energy consumption and costs, including changes in building square footage, building

stock, weather, tempo of operations, fuel mix, and vehicle, naval, and aircraft fleet composition. 

The Federal energy bill for FY 2002 decreased 0.3 percent compared to the previous year.

Overall, the unit cost of all fuel types used decreased 4.4 percent, from $9.71 per million Btu to

$9.28 per million Btu. Contributing to the overall decrease in unit costs were decreases in the

prices paid by the Government for:

# Natural Gas (26.7 percent decrease)

# Diesel Fuel (3.8 percent decrease)

# Jet Fuel (2.4 percent decrease)

# Gasoline (1.5 percent decrease)

# Electricity (0.7 percent decrease).

Federal agencies report energy consumption under four categories: 1) standard buildings; 

2) industrial, laboratory and other energy intensive facilities; 3) exempt facilities; and 

4) vehicles and equipment.

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, the Federal Government used 316.8 trillion Btu to provide energy to 3.0 billion

square feet of standard buildings space. This consumption represents a 23.8 percent decrease

compared to FY 1985 and a 2.5 percent decrease relative to FY 2001. These significant drops

reflect the success of Federal energy management efforts in reducing fossil fuel use in Federal

facilities. The cost of energy for buildings and facilities in FY 2002 was $3.7 billion, a decrease

of approximately $265.7 million from FY 2001 expenditures, and a decrease of 30.9 percent

from the FY 1985 expenditure of $5.3 billion (in 2002 dollars).6

Industrial, Laboratory and Other Energy Intensive Facilities

Under section 543(a)(2) of NECPA, as amended by EPACT, 42 U.S.C. § 8253, buildings that

house energy-intensive activities may be excluded from NECPA’s performance goal for

buildings. Most energy used in these facilities is process energy used for purposes other than the

normal building HVAC operations and electrical use. Process energy is consumed in industrial

operations, laboratories, certain research and development activities, and in electronics-intensive

facilities.

Section 203 of Executive Order 13123 sets a goal for these facilities that requires each agency to

reduce energy consumption per square foot, per unit of production, or per other unit as

applicable by 20 percent by 2005 and 25 percent by 2010 relative to 1990. 

In FY 2002, the Federal Government used 61.2 trillion Btu of energy in energy intensive

operations, approximately 5.9 percent of the total 1.0 quads consumed. Total energy

consumption in this category decreased 11.9 percent relative to FY 1990 and increased 1.7
3

percent relative to FY 2001. These changes resulted from both changes in activity levels and

energy management efforts.

The Federal Government spent $590.1 million on energy intensive operations energy in FY

2002, $48.7 million less than the FY 2001 expenditure of $638.8 million constant dollars. 

Exempt Facilities

Section 704 of Executive Order 13123 defines “Exempt facility” as “a facility. . .for which an

agency uses DOE-established criteria to determine that compliance with the Energy Policy Act

of 1992 or [Executive Order 13123] is not practical.” Nine agencies, the Departments of

Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, State, and Transportation, the National Archives

and Records Administration (NARA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Tennessee Valley Authority have

chosen to exempt facilities from Executive Order requirements. In addition, the U.S. Postal

Service has reported electricity consumption used in mail processing automation under this

exempt category without reporting associated facility square footage. Energy used in exempt

facilities accounts for approximately 2.3 percent of the total 1.0 quads used by the Federal

Government. Electricity constitutes 73.4 percent of the energy used in exempt facilities, 13.4

percent is accounted for by natural gas, and 7.0 percent by fuel oil. Small amounts of purchased

steam, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/propane, and “other” energy account for the remaining 6.2

percent.

The energy used in exempt facilities in FY 2002 accounted for approximately 4.3 percent of the

total Federal energy bill. The Federal Government spent approximately $413.7 million for this

category’s energy during the fiscal year.

Vehicles and Equipment

The vehicles and equipment category includes aircraft and naval fuels, automotive gasoline,

diesel fuel consumed by Federally-owned and leased vehicles and privately-owned vehicles used

for official business, and the energy used in Federal construction.

In FY 2002, the Federal Government used approximately 643.8 trillion Btu of energy in vehicles

and equipment, 61.6 percent of the total 1.0 quads consumed. Total energy consumption in

vehicles and equipment decreased 31.1 percent relative to FY 1985 and was 9.5 percent greater

than the FY 2001 consumption of 587.9 trillion Btu. Most of this increase is attributable to

increased use of jet fuel by the Department of Defense (DOD). DOD consumed 593.9 trillion

Btu or 92.2 percent of all vehicles and equipment energy used by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government spent $5.0 billion on vehicles and equipment energy in FY 2002,

$339.0 million more than the FY 2001 expenditure, a 7.2 percent increase in constant dollars. 

For all fuels, the cost per million Btu decreased from $7.99 in FY 2001 to $7.82 in FY 2002. 

The unit costs of the two most-used fuels, jet fuel and diesel/distillate fuel oil, decreased 2.4

percent and 3.8 percent respectively. Gasoline prices paid by the Government decreased 1.5

percent. 
4

Investments in Energy Efficiency

During FY 2002, Federal agencies had three primary options for financing energy efficiency,

water conservation, and renewable energy projects in buildings and facilities: direct

appropriated funding, energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), and utility energy service

contracts (UESCs). Known funding from the three sources totaled approximately $524 million

in FY 2002. Direct appropriations accounted for approximately $121 million. ESPCs awarded

in FY 2002 resulted in approximately $291.6 million in estimated contractor investment ($96.9

million from DOE Super ESPC delivery orders and $194.7 million from other agency ESPCs),

and approximately $110.9 million in private sector investment came from UESCs. While these

three categories of funding are not entirely comparable, they do indicate that ESPCs and UESCs

were the dominant source of support for efficiency investments throughout the Federal

Government. In FY 2002, direct funding identified by agencies for energy conservation retrofits

and capital equipment decreased 8.8 percent to $121.1 million from $132.8 million dollars in FY

2001. 

Since 1985, The Government has invested approximately $5.1 billion in energy efficiency, $2.8

billion of which was direct appropriations and $2.3 billion from alternative financing

mechanisms ($1.4 billion from ESPCs and $0.9 billion from UESCs).

Agency Progress in Meeting Energy Reduction Goals

NECPA, as amended by EPACT, requires agencies to take the steps necessary to reduce energy

consumption in Federal buildings by 10 percent by 1995 compared to 1985 consumption levels,

based on Btu per gross square foot, and requires a 20 percent reduction by 2000 compared to

1985 consumption levels. The 10 percent goal was met by the Government in FY 1995 with a

14.9 percent reduction from FY 1985. The 20 percent goal was met by the Government in FY

2000 with a 23.7 percent reduction from FY 1985. Executive Order 12902 added a goal of

reducing energy consumption by 30 percent by the year 2005 relative to 1985 consumption

levels. Executive Order 13123, the successor to Executive Order 12902, adds an additional goal

of a 35 percent reduction by 2010, compared to FY 1985. During FY 2002 agencies provided

data to DOE that indicated a decrease in energy consumption per gross square foot of 25.5

percent relative to FY 1985. The Government’s performance for each year since FY 1985 is

illustrated in Figure ES-1. This reduction was the result of significant decreases in the

consumption of fuel oil, natural gas, and coal. The use of non-electric fuels in Federal buildings

has declined 38.6 percent since 1985, while the consumption of electricity has increased by 12.1

percent. The installation and increased use of electricity-driven electronic equipment

contributed to increases in electricity through the years. Electricity now represents about 71.6

percent of the total energy costs of Federal buildings and accounts for 45.2 percent of total sitedelivered energy consumption in buildings. This is compared to 30.7 percent of the total sitedelivered energy consumption in buildings in FY 1985. Agency efforts undertaken in FY 2002

to increase energy efficiency in buildings included:

# improvement of operations and maintenance procedures;

# implementation of no-cost, low-cost efficiency measures;

# energy-efficient building retrofits and capital improvements;

# energy awareness activities and employee training programs; and

# procurement of energy-efficient goods and products.

in Federal Standard Buildings from FY 1985

Reducing Petroleum-Based Fuel Consumption

Effective management of energy resources is of strategic importance to the Federal Government

as well as the Nation. In FY 2002, petroleum-based fuels accounted for 0.69 quads of the total

1.0 quads consumed by the Federal Government, with 0.63 quads used by DOD, primarily for jet

fuel and distillate/diesel for vehicles and equipment. The Federal Government consumed 34.7

percent less petroleum-based fuel in FY 2002 than in FY 1985. Figure ES-2 illustrates the trend

in the Federal Government’s use of petroleum fuels.

Section 205 of Executive Order 13123 directs agencies to minimize the use of petroleum-based

fuels in buildings and facilities. Federal agencies have made significant progress in reducing

their dependence on petroleum-based fuels in their buildings and facilities. For example, Federal

agencies report that in FY 2002, 36.0 trillion Btu of petroleum-based fuels were used for

standard buildings energy, a 62.5 percent decrease from FY 1985, and a 17.6 percent decrease

from FY 2001.

Renewable Energy

Section 204 of Executive Order 13123 restates the goal of the Million Solar Roofs Initiative,

which is 2,000 solar roof installations in the Federal Government by 2000, and 20,000

installations by 2010. In the period from June 1997 to April 2000 the Federal Government

installed 1,745 solar energy systems. This total included 1,682 solar hot water systems, 58

photovoltaic power systems and 5 transpired solar thermal collectors. The U.S. Navy installed an

additional 1000 solar hot water systems by the end of FY 2000. This brought total installations

to just over 2,700 systems by the end of 2000, accomplishing the Federal goal. In FY 2002 the

total increased to 3,401 systems, including 3,085 solar water heaters, 309 photovoltaic systems,

and 7 transpired collectors.
 

7Many other variables also contribute to fluctuations in annual energy consumption and costs, including changes

in building square footage, building stock, weather, tempo of operations, fuel mix, and vehicle, naval, and aircraft

fleet composition.

Federal Energy Management Highlights

Progress is being made in increasing Federal energy efficiency, although there remain

opportunities for greater efficiency and cost reduction. Several of the most important findings of

this report are listed below:

# The overall real cost of energy consumption in the Federal Government measured in

constant 2002 dollars has fallen from $15.7 billion in FY 1985 to $9.7 billion in FY

2002. While most of this drop is attributable to declining energy prices and reduced

Defense-related activity, energy management efforts made a significant contribution.7

# Total site-delivered energy consumption in FY 2002 decreased 27.8 percent from FY

1985; again, a reflection of both reduced Defense-related activity and successful energy

management efforts.7

# Energy consumption in buildings in FY 2002 decreased 23.8 percent from FY 1985.7

# On a Btu-per-gross-square-foot basis, the 25.5 percent reduction in buildings sitedelivered energy is a good indicator of the success of energy management efforts.

# Six agencies, the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Justice, and

the Tennessee Valley Authority have surpassed a 25 percent reduction in buildings

energy use per gross square foot from 1985.

# Energy consumption in FY 2002 was used for the following purposes:

End Use Percentage Cost

Standard Buildings 30.3 percent $3.7 billion

Energy Intensive Facilities 5.9 percent $0.6 billion

Exempt Facilities 2.3 percent $0.4 billion

Vehicles & Equipment 61.6 percent $5.0 billion

I. OVERVIEW OF FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

A. Overview of Federal Energy Management Policy and Legislative Mandates

This report on Federal Energy Management for Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 provides information on

energy consumption in Federal buildings and operations and documents activities conducted by

Federal agencies to meet the statutory requirements of Title V, Part 3, of the National Energy

Conservation Policy Act (NECPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 8251-8259, 8262, 8262b-k and

Title VIII of NECPA, 42 U.S.C. § 8287-8287c. Implementation activities undertaken during FY

2002 by the Federal agencies under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) and Executive

Order 13123, Greening the Government through Efficient Energy Management, are also

discussed in this report. In compliance with section 381(c) of the Energy Policy and

Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 6361c, this report also describes the energy

conservation and management activities of the Federal Government under the authorization of

section 381 of EPCA, 42 U.S.C. § 6361.

Requirements of NECPA and EPACT

NECPA provides major policy guidance to Federal agencies to improve energy management in

their facilities and operations. Amendments to NECPA made by the Federal Energy

Management Improvement Act of 1988, 42 U.S.C. § 8253 (a)(1), required each agency to

achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy consumption in its Federal buildings by FY 1995, when

measured against a FY 1985 baseline on a Btu-per-gross-square-foot basis. It also directed DOE

to establish life-cycle costing methods and coordinate Federal conservation activities through the

Interagency Energy Management Task Force. Section 152 of Subtitle F of EPACT, Federal

Agency Energy Management, further amends NECPA and contains provisions regarding energy

management requirements, life-cycle cost methods and procedures, budget treatment for energy

conservation measures, incentives for Federal facility energy managers, reporting requirements,

new technology demonstrations, and agency surveys of energy-saving potential.

Requirements of Executive Order 13123

On June 3, 1999, the President signed Executive Order 13123, Greening the Government

Through Efficient Energy Management, superseding Executive Order 12902. Executive Order

13123 addresses greenhouse gas emissions from Federal facilities, and makes energy-efficiency

targets more stringent. 

The key requirements of the legislation and Executive Order authorities are outlined in the

exhibit below along with current findings.

B. Overall Federal Energy Consumption, Costs, and Carbon Emissions

As shown in Table 1-A, the total primary energy consumption of the Government of the United

States, including energy consumed to produce, process, and transport energy, was 1.4 quadrillion

British Thermal Units (quads) or 1,438,385.6 billion British Thermal Units (Btu) during FY

2002. Primary energy consumption considers all resources used to generate and transport

electricity and steam. (The source conversion factors of 10,346 Btu per kilowatt hour for

electricity and 1,390 Btu per pound of steam are used to calculate primary energy consumption. 

See Appendix B for conversion factors used to calculate site-delivered energy consumption.) 

Federal agencies reported a 19.9 percent decrease in total primary energy consumption compared

to FY 1985, and a 3.1 percent increase from FY 2001. The 1.4 quads used in FY 2002 represent

approximately 1.4 percent of the total 97.61 quads8 used in the United States, and reflect

Government energy consumption in buildings and operations to provide essential services to its

citizens, including the defense of the Nation. In total, the Federal Government is the single

largest energy consumer in the Nation, although its pattern of consumption is widely dispersed.

Based on reports submitted to the Department of Energy (DOE) by 29 Federal agencies, the

Federal Government consumed 1.0 quads during FY 2002 when measured in terms of energy

actually delivered to the point of use. As shown in Table 1-B, Federal agencies reported a 27.8

percent decrease in total site-delivered energy consumption compared to FY 1985, and a 4.3

percent increase from FY 2001. 

The cost of this energy was $9.7 billion and represented approximately 0.5 percent of the total

Federal expenditures of $1.938 trillion9 for all purposes in FY 2002. The Federal energy bill for

FY 2002 decreased 0.3 percent from the previous year, decreasing by $30.4 million in constant

dollars compared to FY 2001.10

 

Overall, the unit cost of all fuel types used decreased 4.4 percent from the previous year, from

$9.71 per million Btu to $9.28 per million Btu in FY 2002. Contributing to the overall decrease

in unit costs were decreases in the prices paid by the Government for:

# Natural Gas (26.7 percent decrease)

# Diesel Fuel (3.8 percent decrease)

# Jet Fuel (2.4 percent decrease)

# Gasoline (1.5 percent decrease)

# Electricity (0.7 percent decrease).

In 1998, the State Department developed a statistical method for estimating the energy consumption in the large number of foreign buildings it owns and leases. This method

was subsequently applied to estimate FY 1991 energy consumption and is now used annually to assess progress. The FY 1991 foreign building estimates were combined with

domestic building data for the fiscal years 1985 and 1990, since these are base years for performance goals.

In addition to prices and Federal energy management activities, many other variables contribute

to changes in annual energy use and costs, including changes in square footage, building stock,

weather, tempo of operations, fuel mix, and vehicle, naval, and aircraft fleet composition. 

In FY 2002, the Department of Defense spent $7.1 billion for energy out of the total Federal

energy expenditure of $9.7 billion. Overall, the Department of Defense used 33.0 percent less

site-delivered energy in FY 2002 than in FY 1985—a reflection of reduced Defense-related

activity and successful energy management efforts. 

Figures 1 and 2 depict the percentage of total energy used by the Federal Government in FY

2002 and its cost. As illustrated, jet fuel and electricity account for approximately 63.2 percent

of the total energy consumption represented in Figure 1 and approximately 73.4 percent of the

total energy costs in Figure 2.

Petroleum-based fuels used by the Federal Government are shown in Table 2. In FY 2002,

petroleum-based fuels accounted for 0.69 quads (687,886.4 billion Btu) of the total 1.0 quads

consumed by the Federal Government. Of that, approximately 0.63 quads (629,000.4 billion

Btu) were used by the Department of Defense primarily for jet fuel and distillate/diesel for

vehicles and equipment energy. Only 0.04 quads (36,014.7 billion Btu) of petroleum-based fuels

were used for Federal standard buildings energy.

11Carbon emissions were calculated by multiplying energy consumption for each fuel type by an associated

carbon coefficient shown in Appendix B.

Carbon emissions from Federal Government energy consumption have decreased significantly

since FY 1990. As shown in Figure 3, the Federal Government has reduced carbon emissions

across the three non-exempt end-use sectors by 25.5 percent from 33.0 million metric tons of

carbon equivalent (MMTCE) in FY 1990 to 24.6 MMTCE in FY 2002.11 The largest

contribution to this reduction is from the vehicles and equipment sector, which has seen a

decrease in carbon emissions of 30.7 percent. This is a result of a reduction of almost 4.5

MMTCE emissions from jet fuel, as well as smaller reductions from diesel, aviation gasoline,

navy special, and LPG/propane.

Carbon emissions have decreased by 20.3 percent in the standard buildings sector since 1990. 

Contributing to this reduction was a 8.4 percent reduction in gross square footage since FY 1990

and an 9.9 percent decrease in primary energy intensity (224,049 Btu/GSF in FY 1990, 201,946

Btu/GSF in FY 2002). Carbon emissions from energy intensive activities in industrial,

laboratory, and other buildings decreased 13.1 percent (0.3 million metric tons) since FY 1990.

Section 201 of Executive Order 13123 establishes a greenhouse gas reduction goal for Federal

Government facilities. This goal applies to standard buildings subject to the energy efficiency

goals of Section 202 and industrial, laboratory, and other energy-intensive facilities subject to

the goals of Section 203. The requirement states: 

“Through life-cycle cost-effective energy measures, each agency shall reduce its

greenhouse gas emissions attributed to facility energy use by 30 percent by 2010

compared to such emissions levels in 1990. In order to encourage optimal investment in

energy improvements, agencies can count greenhouse gas reductions from improvements

in nonfacility energy use toward this goal to the extent that these reductions are approved

by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).” 

As shown in Table 3, when the carbon emissions from non-exempt facilities are combined, the

Government shows a reduction of 19.3 percent from 14.9 MMTCE in FY 1990 to 12.1 MMTCE

in FY 2002.

Carbon emission calculations were adjusted in FY 2002 for 13 agencies to reflect purchases of

renewable energy. These agencies, and their corresponding credit for renewable energy

purchases are shown below:

C. Energy Management Infrastructure and Tools

1. Federal Coordination

Federal Interagency Energy Policy Committee (656 Committee)

The Federal Interagency Energy Policy Committee (656 Committee) was established in

accordance with Section 656 of the Department of Energy Organization Act (P.L. 95-91) to

strengthen Government programs that emphasize productivity through the efficient use of

energy, and concurrently, to encourage interagency cooperation in energy conservation. The 656

Committee did not meet in 2002. However, a meeting hosted by the Office of the Federal

Environmental Executive (OFEE) brought together the Executive Order 13123 Senior Energy

Officials in June 2002. For most agencies, the Senior Energy Official is also their 656

Committee member. 

Federal Interagency Energy Management Task Force

The Federal Interagency Energy Management Task Force (Task Force) was established in

accordance with the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of 1988 to stimulate

increased energy efficiency in the Federal sector. The Task Force serves as technical advisor to

the 656 Committee by coordinating the activities of the Federal Government in promoting

energy conservation and the efficient use of energy. 

The Director of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) serves as the Executive

Director of the Task Force. The Task Force, composed of the chief energy managers of the

agencies represented on the 656 Committee, addresses energy issues affecting Federal facilities

and operations and provides the 656 Committee with in-depth analysis and recommendations

concerning current and pending legislation, technical issues, and implementation of coordinated

Federal activities. 

The Task Force assesses the progress of agencies toward achieving energy savings, and collects

and disseminates information on effective survey techniques, technologies that promote

conservation and efficient use of energy, and innovative programs and contracting methods. To

accomplish its mission, the Task Force establishes working groups to resolve specific technical

or programmatic issues, to develop new initiatives for Federal implementation, and to address

legislative requirements and topics presented by the 656 Committee, the Executive Director, or

member agencies.

In FY 2002, meetings of the Task Force were held on October 9, 2001; January 23, 2002; April

24, 2002; and August 6, 2002. Issues highlighted in the these meetings included the following:

• FEMP’s technical assistance project funding opportunities. 

• The Federal Commercial Building Energy Standard (FEDCOM II).

• Progress toward the renewable energy goals of Executive Order 13123 and the status of

the Federal Renewable Energy Project Registry.

• Integration of operations and maintenance functions into FEMP activities.

• FEMP’s distributed energy resources market assessment.
23

• The Federal Energy and Water Management Awards and the Presidential Awards for

Federal Energy Management Success.

• The provisions of the greenhouse gas reduction goal of Executive Order 13123.

• Implementation of Executive Order 13221 on Energy Efficient Standby Power Devices.

• Guidance for completing annual reports, complying with Executive Order 13123, and

training opportunities in Federal energy management. 

Senior Energy Officials

Section 304 of Executive Order 13123, states that “Each agency shall designate a senior official,

at the Assistant Secretary level or above, to be responsible for meeting the goals and

requirements of this order, including preparing the annual report to the President. Designated

officials shall participate in the Interagency Energy Policy Committee. . . [and] shall

communicate its activities to all designated officials to assure proper coordination and

achievement of the goals and requirements of this order.”

A meeting of the Senior Energy Officials was convened and chaired by the OFEE on June 14,

2002. The meeting included a briefing on energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) and

utility energy savings contracts (UESCs). Agencies with experience using UESCs and ESPCs as

financing tools shared their success stories. The transportation Executive Order was discussed. 

A summary of the FY 2001 Federal Energy Scorecards was made available to the Senior Energy

Officials at the meeting. 

2. Training 

Many agencies have their own internal training and recognition programs, discussed individually

in Section VI of this report. Overall, Federal agencies reported spending $2.3 million to train

3,610 Federal personnel in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation

subjects, including energy efficient product procurement and alterative financing techniques for

energy and water projects.

During FY 2002, FEMP conducted 62 training workshops and symposia for more than 6,270

attendees in the efficient use and conservation of energy, water, and renewable energy in Federal

facilities.

Two new training courses were added during FY 2002. Five Laboratories for the 21st Century

workshops attracted 215 participants, and three Distributed Energy Resources workshops were

attended by 231 participants.

FEMP supplemented its classroom workshops with “distance learning” training, via satellite. 

The Energy Management Teleworkshop, a six-module survey of FEMP courses, attracted 4,002

viewers. It included modules for life-cycle costing; buying energy efficient products; water

resource management; operations and maintenance management; and financing. 

Six workshops about ESPCs were conducted during FY 2002 for 802 participants. In each

workshop, facility managers, contract specialists, and building engineers were instructed on the
24

statutory provisions for this innovative contracting/finance method and how to identify suitable

projects. ESPCs allow energy-efficient improvements to be installed by private contractors with

no up-front capital costs.

FEMP’s Utility Project Financing/Utility Restructuring workshop was presented three times for

729 students. FEMP’s Evolving Energy Markets Workshop was presented once for 27

attendees.

The Designing Low Energy Buildings course was presented three times for 107 participants. 

The two-day course included analyses and case studies of building design using passive solar

heating, natural ventilation and cooling, daylighting, glazing, and overhangs. 

The FEMP Lights course was conducted four times for a total of 79 participants. The objective

was to provide guidance on energy-efficient lighting, consistent with other facility lighting

considerations, quality and cost, and whole-building analysis. Topics included: basic lighting

concepts; a comprehensive process for Federal relighting project development and

implementation; and the use of professional lighting design services. 

Two Facility Energy Decision Screening (FEDS) workshops were held during FY 2002 for 38

attendees. This is a training course for Federal facility managers on whole-site analysis of

energy conservation, technical and financial opportunities utilizing the FEDS project screening

software, and the project implementation software. 

The Operations and Maintenance Management course was presented three times for 589

students.

FEMP, in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, conducted three

workshops on life-cycle costing and building retrofit simulation for 711 students. 

The Implementing Renewable Energy Projects course was presented twice for 95 students.

FEMP continued to offer its Water Resource Management course with two workshops for 693

attendees during FY 2002. The course is designed to assist Federal site managers and agencies

in meeting the water conservation requirements of EPACT and Executive Order 13123.

The Buying Energy Efficient Products teleworkshops attracted 667 participants.

During FY 2002, FEMP participated in the organization and presentation of 23 panel discussions

on Federal energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy topics at national energy

management conferences around the country, attracting 1,100 attendees.

“Energy 2002,” the energy efficiency workshop and exposition sponsored by FEMP, Department

of Defense, and GSA was held June 2-5, 2002, in Palm Springs, CA. The conference provided

participants with opportunities to explore such topics as strategies for energy projects, selling

energy projects, and alternative financing. The conference had panel discussions, an exhibit hall

showcasing energy technologies, and opportunities for relationship building. More than 1,200

were in attendance and more than 127 companies exhibited at the event. 
25

FEMP continued to offer its Training Course Locator System to assist Federal agencies in

training energy managers and in meeting the requirements of the EPACT and energy-related

Executive Orders. The Locator system connects those seeking particular training courses with

the organizations sponsoring the courses. Locator is a Web-based application which is readily

available through the Internet. During FY 2002, 267 unique visitors to Locator logged on to the

Locator Web site.

3. Awards and Recognition

Each award category contained a wide variety of innovative projects. Examples from each

award category follow. 

Energy Efficiency Award:

Presidio Trust Summer Initiative, Presidio Trust, San Francisco, California. As a resource

protection organization, the Presidio Trust has always sought ways to minimize environmental

impact and conserve water and energy, so it seemed natural for the organization to seek a

creative financing solution that would help the Presidio save energy. In July 2000, the California

Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) offered financing through a “Summer Initiative,” which

sought to achieve significant demand and energy reductions by summer 2001. Identifying

opportunities to save hundreds of thousands of kilowatthours each year, the Presidio Trust

formulated a plan for retrofitting both residential and non-residential buildings with

energy-efficient lighting, controls, and energy management systems under the Summer Initiative.

An extensive outreach campaign was also part of the Initiative. The Presidio faced added

challenges from its designation as a National Historic Landmark, which requires the Presidio to

be managed in compliance with historic guidelines, which at times are at odds with conservation

goals. Despite the Presidio’s hurdles, the lighting retrofits and outreach efforts were a success

and will save the organization more than 1 million kilowatthours and $165,000 annually.

Alternative Financing Award:

Keith Yamanaka, Department of the Army, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Keith Yamanaka,

Energy Manager at the U.S. Army Directorate of the Public Works, was the initiator and

champion of the 25th Infantry Division’s utility energy services contract project in Hawaii. Mr.

Yamanaka led this project, a partnership between the U.S. Army and Hawaiian Electric

Company, to design and construct a central 600-ton centrifugal chiller, cooling tower, condenser

pump, chill water pump, and piping replacement. A second part of the UESC called for the

installation of solar heating systems on 610 family housing units, 39 recreation cabins, and a fire

station. This was the largest one-time installation of solar heating systems to take place

anywhere in the country. These projects saved more than $1 million and close to 15 billion Btu

during FY 2001.
27

Renewable Energy Award:

Green Power Switch®, Tennessee Valley Authority, Nashville, Tennessee. Green Power Switch®

is a renewable energy initiative that offers consumers in the Tennessee Valley a choice in the

type of power they buy. The Tennessee Valley Authority and local public power companies,

working in cooperation with the environmental community, developed Green Power Switch® as

a way to bring green power–electricity generated by cleaner, renewable resources–to Valley

consumers. Green power is sold to residential consumers in 150-kilowatthour blocks (about 12

percent of a typical household’s monthly energy use). Each block adds $4 to the customer’s

monthly power bills. Green Power Switch® is also being marketed to commercial and industrial

consumers, who can buy blocks based on the amount of energy they use. Currently there are

more than 5,000 residential customers signed up for almost 9,000 blocks of green power per

month, and 226 business and commercial customers signed up for more than 6,000 blocks per

month. Sources of green power include energy from a wind-powered turbine, solar generation,

and a landfill methane gas site. Although no source of energy is impact-free, an investment of an

additional $8 per month on a homeowner’s power bill buys enough green power to equal the

environmental benefits of planting an acre of trees in the Tennessee Valley.

Mobility Energy Management Award:

USS Blue Ridge, Department of the Navy. In spite of increased threat conditions, the USS Blue

Ridge’s energy team delivered dramatic energy and budget savings during FY 2001. The USS

Blue Ridge saved $2.3 million and 1.5 million gallons of fuel, an impressive 50 percent

improvement over the previous year’s fuel use levels. Through the application of diligent

conservation engineering, the use of electronic controls, improved boiler and main engine

operation, and with the help of a command-to-enlisted commitment to Fleet leadership in energy

conservation, the USS Blue Ridge energy team dramatically reduced emissions, fuel use, and

water pollution. Additionally, the ship’s 24-hour engineering trouble call log has significantly

reduced turn-around time on fixing leaks and mitigating other energy conservation deficiencies.

Water Management Award:

Drain-Down Recovery of Heating and Cooling Circulating Water, Lawrence Livermore

National Laboratory, Department of Energy, Livermore, CA. Using a non-traditional water

conservation and cost-savings concept, DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s

(LLNL) Plant Engineering Instrument Shop and Energy Management Program saved an

estimated 72,600 gallons of water per year through their Drain-Down Recovery Project. LLNL’s

project team came together to prevent water waste during the repair of heat and cooling water

circulating systems. The team’s drain water recovery program reuses most building system

water, as well as anti-corrosion and scale-inhibiting chemicals. The idea of the project is simply

to collect drain-down water and return it to the system following repairs, rather than waste it

down the drain. The project realized savings in three areas: the cost of water; the costs of

anti-corrosion and scale-inhibiting chemicals (which total more than $9,000); and reduced labor

costs (by $52,600). With an amazing payback period of just three months, LLNL’s project

effectively conserves water, prevents pollution, and reduces maintenance costs.

Innovative Technology Award:

E-Commerce Reverse Auction Group, General Services Administration, Washington, DC. As a

result of deregulation and the turbulent energy market in New York State, the General Services

Administration (GSA), Energy Center of Expertise sought to mirror how industry procures and
28

sells energy as well as to meet Federal acquisition regulations. The Energy Center of Expertise

awarded a delivery order to Science Applications International Corporation to use the World

Energy Solutions electronic web-based reverse auction platform. ECOE’s first e-commerce

web-based energy procurement provided a quicker, more efficient way to solicit competitive

bids on energy supply. The reverse auction electricity procurement avoided duplications of

effort, saved time and resources, and allowed Federal agencies and organizations to focus their

attention on critical missions. ECOE’s $165 million energy procurement spanned six utility

service territories and involved 20 competitive electricity suppliers, 10 qualified agencies, and

approximately 900 electric accounts. It resulted in the fulfillment of approximately 624

gigawatthours of annual electricity requirements, which is enough power for 62,000 residential

homes for one year. In certain service territories there was a 35 percent difference between the

highest and lowest bids representing tens of millions of dollars in reduced pricing for GSA and

its customers. The deregulated electricity industry in New York State combined with GSA’s

e-commerce reverse auction will save approximately $24 million over a three year period. This

procurement proves that GSA can provide cost-effective solutions for energy services as

demonstrated by program growth of approximately 700 percent in 12 months.

Program Implementation Award:

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Department of the Navy, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Naval

Station Guantanamo Bay maintains self-sufficient water and energy operations, producing one

million gallons of water and more than 250 megawatthours of electricity daily. During FY 2001

the Station began to realize enormous energy savings. Through more than $12 million in

conservation investments that were largely focused on the repair and renovation of the Base’s

power and water production plants, the Station saved more than 300 billion Btu, reducing its

energy demand from FY 2000 levels by 22 percent. These accomplishments resulted in energy

budget savings of more than $1.8 million. The Station also agreed to move ahead with a $9.6

million wind turbine project that will save an additional $1.26 million per year. Guantanamo

Bay’s conservation programs result from comprehensive planning and are built on a foundation

of mission awareness, vision, and training.

Exceptional Service Award:

John B. Nerger, Department of the Army, Washington, DC. John Nerger’s leadership and

visionary thinking has contributed to the Army’s secure energy future by encouraging the use of

clean, renewable technologies, increasing energy efficiency in facilities, and promoting energy

awareness at Army facilities and housing worldwide. Under Mr. Nerger’s leadership at the Army

Facilities and Housing Directorate, the Army developed a strategic energy conservation plan that

achieved more than $17 million in energy savings and reduced almost 2 trillion Btu of energy

during FY 2001. The plan has a multi-faceted approach made up of several interrelated

initiatives, which include awareness, energy management, training, energy engineering and

project development efforts, project implementation, new contracting standards, and

demonstrations of innovative technologies. Mr. Nerger’s support and commitment to the Army

Facilities Energy Program has been crucial in ensuring efficient energy management throughout

the Army. The structure he has chosen for the execution of the energy plan allows commanders

the flexibility to create their own unique energy programs, which fosters cooperation from most

Army units and results in greater overall energy and cost savings throughout the agency.

4. Federal Energy Saver Showcase Facilities 

To promote wise energy and water use throughout the Federal government, agencies are

showcasing cost-effective energy efficiency, water-conserving, and renewable energy

technologies in their facilities. 

To highlight these successful energy efficiency projects, Section 406(e) of Executive Order

13123 requires that agencies designate “exemplary new and existing facilities with significant

public access and exposure as showcase facilities to highlight energy or water efficiency and

renewable energy improvements.” The showcase program functions as a management strategy

by assisting agencies in implementing the goals of Executive Order 13123. When facilities are

designated as showcases, agencies can receive assistance from FEMP and obtain the advantage

of partnering with other agencies, energy services companies, utilities, and national laboratories. 
30

Since 1995, FEMP has recognized 123 sites throughout the country as Federal Energy Saver

Showcases. Each Showcase site prominently displays a plaque notifying visitors that the

Government building they are entering uses energy and water, as well as taxpayer dollars,

wisely. A call for nominations has been distributed to urge agencies to identify and designate

their best projects, or potential projects, so that others may benefit by example.

FEMP recognized 19 outstanding Federal facilities as Federal Energy Saver Showcases for 2002.

These facilities are expected to save 32 million kilowatthours of energy annually, or about $2

million in yearly energy costs. The agencies and Showcase facilities are as follows:

5. Energy Awareness 

The Federal Government, as the largest single employer in the United States, has the

responsibility to set an example for the nation by conducting energy awareness programs. Most

agencies have ridesharing, carpooling, and/or public transportation programs in effect. Many

agencies also participate in recycling programs. The following exhibit shows the employee

awareness activities at the various Federal agencies.

6. Public Education Programs

NECPA, 42 U.S.C. § 8258(b), requires the Secretary of Energy to include in this and subsequent

annual reports information on public education programs carried out by Federal agencies and

previously reported under the authority of section 381 of the Energy Policy and Conservation

Act (EPCA), 42 U.S.C. § 6361(b). EPCA requires the Secretary of Energy to establish and carry

out public education programs to encourage energy conservation and energy efficiency and to

promote vanpooling and carpooling arrangements. The Department of Transportation (DOT)

has promoted ride sharing activities, while DOE has been responsible for other energy

conservation education programs.

Through its Federal Highway Administration, DOT obligates Federal aid funds to assist State

and local agencies in implementing programs designed to encourage the use of car pools, van
33

pools, and buses by commuters. DOT efforts have included van pool acquisition programs,

fringe and corridor parking facilities, ride-matching projects, preferential treatment for high

occupancy vehicles, and transit service improvement. Since 1974, nearly $1 billion in Federal

aid highway funds have been spent on such projects in an effort to establish self-sufficient

programs across the Nation.

The DOE’s public education programs encompass a wide variety of services, objectives, and

audiences, covering all major areas of conservation and renewable energy. DOE has organized

its technology transfer programs to meet the specific information requirements of various

audiences. Three services are managed through subcontracts at the National Renewable Energy

Laboratory (NREL): DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse (EREC),

DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN), and the FEMP Help Desk.

EREC provides basic, technical, and financial information on various energy efficiency and

renewable energy technologies and programs. The audience served by EREC includes the

general public, business and industry, educational community, media, utility companies, and

state and local governments. Information is provided in the form of fact sheets, DOE and

National Laboratory books and brochures, bibliographies, and on-line computer-generated

technology synopses. Some requests are handled completely over the phone and the caller

receives no publications. EREC’s telephone number is 800-DOE-EREC (800-363-3732) and its

Web site is at www.eree.energy.gov/consumerinfo. In FY 2002, EREC staff responded to

33,197 inquiries and disseminated 457,157 publications.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) hosts a Web site at

www.eere.energy.gov. The audience served by the EERE Web site includes business and

industry, the general public, the educational community, the media, and state and local

governments. The site is a comprehensive resource for energy information, providing a gateway

to hundreds of Web sites and thousands of online documents on energy efficiency and renewable

energy. The site also allows keyword searches and offers a full range of information on topics

such as building energy efficiency, wind power, and alternative fuels. In addition, EERE

provides it organizational chart, major initiatives, and budget. The site also features current press

releases, consumer information, and lists of discussion groups on various energy-related topics.

There are even forms to submit energy-related questions and to subscribe to the EERE Network

News e-mail newsletter.

The FEMP Help Desk provides Federal energy managers with specialized information on

effective energy management practices, technical assistance on implementing Federal sector

energy projects, financing information, energy modeling software, publications, and energy

management training programs. The Help Desk responds to requests for information via a tollfree telephone service, electronic mail, and through the Internet. The telephone number is 800-

DOE-3732. The Web site is www.eere.energy.gov/femp.

The National Energy Information Center (NEIC) responds to public and private sector questions

on energy production, consumption, prices, resource availability, and projections of supply and

demand. It also makes available the publications produced by the DOE Energy Information

Administration (EIA). NEIC provides information to Federal employees and the public at

www.eia.doe.gov. Electronic inquiries may be sent to infoctr@eia.doe.gov. In FY 2002, NEIC
34

staff responded to 25,300 inquiries and distributed approximately 60,000 publications. EIA is

transitioning from providing paper reports to providing electronic copies of reports on the EIA

Web site. The EIA web site recorded 9.2 million user sessions during FY 2002.

The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), as part of the Office of Science,

provides leadership and coordination for the Department-wide Scientific and Technical

Information Program (STIP). In this capacity, OSTI assures access by DOE, the scientific

research community, academia, U.S. industry, and the public to DOE research results in support

of the DOE mission. This includes coordination with appropriate DOE organizations.

 

Key collections developed and maintained by OSTI on behalf of DOE include Energy Citations

Database (ECD), the DOE Information Bridge, the E-print Network, Research and Development

(R&D) Project Summaries, and EnergyFiles. Approximately 3.8 million citations to worldwide

energy research reside in data files at OSTI, and more than 11,000 are added annually. Most of

these are contained in ECD; the information dates back to 1948. Since 1995, the full text of

more than 68,000 DOE reports has also been available to the public in the DOE Information

Bridge through the joint sponsorship of DOE and the Government Printing Office (GPO). 

OSTI’s vault protects 1.5 million older reports in hard copy. The E-Print Network: Research

Communications for Scientists and Engineers searches e-print documents in Deep Web

databases and across 10,000 Web sites, while the DOE R&D Project Summaries contains

information about more than 20,000 active DOE-sponsored research projects. EnergyFiles

searches or links to over 500 information resources in both government and private sectors. 

These and other related DOE information resources at OSTI are searchable and available for

reuse by appropriate audiences. OSTI serves the public directly or indirectly through

agreements with the National Technical Information Services, the GPO, depository libraries, and

commercial vendors. FY 2002 data show approximately 8.1 million user transactions were

accommodated.

In addition to the core program activities, OSTI provides scientific and technical information

services to DOE elements in support of DOE mandates, missions and objectives, disseminates

research project-generated software through the DOE Energy Science and Technology Software

Center (ESTSC).

FY 2002 initiatives included the test release and, in December 2002, the official launch of

science.gov, the FirstGov portal for science. In addition to being an active member of the

Science.gov Alliance, OSTI hosts, maintains, and provides Deep Web search capability to

science.gov. Science.gov, a collaboration of fourteen information organizations from ten R&D

federal agencies, provides integrated searching of and access to government-sponsored research

results and project information through a single query. The Deep Web search allows a user to

search government databases that are not typically accessible to popular search engines on the

Web. Regardless of which agency has the data or how it is stored, the user can now find it in

one easy, free search.

The DOE public information mechanisms include several direct service programs designed to

provide technical assistance to specific target groups. Two of these programs are the State

Energy Program (SEP) and the Industrial Assessment Center. 
35

SEP provides funding to States to design and implement their own energy efficiency and

renewable energy programs. The results from this program are directly linked to a large number

of diverse and innovative projects in local communities throughout the United States. A national

study quantifies energy and cost savings from SEP at $7.23 for every dollar of federal

investment. The outcome of this DOE funding is a rapid and inventive deployment of energy

efficiency and renewable energy technologies. 

Formula grants are given to states using Congressionally-appropriated funds and are distributed

according to a formula that depends on criteria such as the state’s size and population. States

can use formula grants to meet the specific needs of their particular end-use energy sectors. 

Each state sets its own priorities, and, according to its individual State Energy Plan, emphasizes

development and deployment of technologies appropriate for its region. There are both

mandatory and optional activities that can be funded by formula grants. 

Special Projects grants are the second type of SEP grant. Unlike formula grants, Special Projects

are funded entirely by EERE technology programs and are awarded on a competitive basis. 

Each year, states submit proposals identifying how specific technologies could be implemented

in their region of the country. These projects are designed to utilize the state’s skills in forming

and sustaining partnerships with local governments, industry, utilities, and private organizations. 

Many of these projects involve the dissemination of information about, and/or the demonstration

of the viability of a variety of energy efficiency and renewable energy applications. Additional

information is provided on the program Web site at

www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/state_energy.

The Office of Industrial Technology’s (OIT) Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) Program

provides no-cost energy, waste, and productivity assessments to help small and mid-sized

manufacturers identify measures to maximize energy-efficiency, reduce waste, and improve

productivity. The assessments are conducted by local teams of engineering faculty and students

from 26 participating universities across the country. OIT awards cost-shared funding for R&D

projects through a competitive solicitation process. Projects are performed by collaborative

partnerships and must address industry-specified priorities. In this way, OIT maintains a

balanced portfolio of R&D projects that will help realize national goals for energy and the

environment. This program not only improves manufacturing efficiency, but at the same time

provides valuable, hands-on technical training and experience for engineering students

throughout the U.S. Additional information is provided on the program Web site at

www.eere.energy.gov/industry.
36

D. Financing Mechanisms for Energy Efficiency Improvements in Federal Facilities

During FY 2002, Federal agencies had three primary options for financing energy efficiency,

water conservation, and renewable energy projects in buildings and facilities: direct

appropriated funding, ESPCs, and UESCs). The latter two options utilize non-Government

sources of funding and can be used to supplement Government funding. Each of these three

sources can be combined with another, if permitted by law. 

To the extent that agencies have been able to provide complete reporting, funding from the three

sources totaled approximately $524 million in FY 2002. While these three categories of funding

are not entirely comparable, they do indicate that ESPCs and UESCs were the dominant source

of support for efficiency investments throughout the Federal Government in FY 2002. Energy

efficiency investment from ESPCs and UESCs in FY 2002 comprised $402.5 million, 76.9

percent of the total investment.

Since 1985, the Government has invested approximately $5.1 billion in energy efficiency, $2.8

billion of which was direct appropriations and $2.3 billion from alternative financing

mechanisms ($1.4 billion from ESPCs and $0.9 billion from UESCs).

1. Direct Appropriations

The National Energy Conservation Policy Act requires each agency, in support of the President’s

annual budget request to Congress, to specifically set forth and identify funds requested for

energy conservation measures. Table 4-A presents agency funding (in nominal dollars) reported

from FY 1985 through FY 2002 for energy conservation retrofits and capital equipment. Table

4-B presents the same information in constant 2002 dollars. In constant dollars, funding for

energy conservation declined from $388.2 million in FY 1985 to a low of $69.4 million in

FY 1989. Reports from Federal agencies indicated that $121.1 million was spent on retrofit

expenditures in FY 2002, compared with $132.8 million in FY 2001. In some cases, the data

provided by the agencies include funding from operation and maintenance accounts that was

specifically identified as contributing to energy efficiency. Figure 4 illustrates agency spending

trends for the five largest energy-consuming agencies and the remaining group of Federal

agencies.

The Department of Defense funded $60.6 million for energy efficiency projects in FY 2002, $2.8

million more than the previous year (Table 4-B).

of the time of this report issuance, various proposals to reauthorize ESPCs were pending in Congress.

2. Energy Savings Performance Contracting

Section 155 of EPACT amended Title VIII of NECPA, sections 801 and 804, relating to energy

savings contracts. Section 801, as amended, gives agencies the authority to enter into ESPCs

and describes the methodology of contract implementation. The ESPC program was created to

provide agencies with a quick and cost-effective way to increase the energy efficiency of Federal

buildings. Under an ESPC, a private sector energy service company (ESCO) will assume the

initial capital costs of installing energy conservation equipment and renewable energy systems. 

The ESCO guarantees the agency a fixed amount of energy cost savings throughout the life of

the contract and is paid from those cost savings. Agencies retain the remainder of the energy

cost savings.12

On April 10, 1995, DOE published in the Federal Register (10 CFR Part 436) a final rule that

sets forth the regulations for energy savings performance contracting. An application process for

a Qualified List of ESCOs was also released with the ESPC regulations. Only firms on the

Qualified List may receive an ESPC contract award. Firms that wish to be on the Qualified List

must submit an application to DOE and possess the required experience and expertise. The List

is continually updated.

Section 403(a) of Executive Order 13123 states that “Agencies shall maximize their use of

available alternative financing contracting mechanisms, including Energy Savings Performance

Contracts. . . .” This section goes on to state that “Energy Savings Performance Contracts. .

.provide significant opportunities for making Federal facilities more energy efficient at no net

cost to taxpayers.”

During FY 2002, 59 ESPC contracts or delivery orders were awarded at nine agencies. These

include delivery orders awarded through the DOE/FEMP Super ESPC programs as well as

projects awarded by the DOD and other agencies. Total contractor investment from these

projects was approximately $291.6 million, providing the Government with an opportunity to

save almost 1.7 trillion Btu each year. These ESPCs include 32 by DOD, 12 by the Department

of Veterans Affairs, seven by the GSA, three by the Postal Service, two by NASA, and one each

by DOE and DOT, and the National Archives and Records Administration. DOD and the

National Gallery of Art also issued modifications on delivery orders issued in previous years that

increased project investment.

Awarding ESPCs on a one-by-one basis has often proven to be complex and time consuming. 

To make it easier to use ESPCs, DOE/FEMP developed Regional and Technology-Specific

Super ESPCs. Both Regional and Technology-Specific Super ESPCs share the same general

contract terminology and provisions with conventional ESPCs and they present several

significant advantages to Federal agencies.

Regional Super ESPCs are unlike conventional ESPCs in two fundamental ways. First, a Super

ESPC blankets a large geographic territory; a conventional ESPC is used for a specific site.

Second, Super ESPCs substantially reduce the lead time to contract with an ESCO for energy

services. Super ESPCs are broad area indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts

that allow agencies to negotiate site-specific delivery orders with an ESCO without having to

start the contracting process from scratch. Demand on agency resources to develop and award

contracts, as well as lead times, are greatly reduced, and energy savings are realized more

quickly.

Technology-Specific Super ESPCs emphasize a particular advanced energy-efficiency or

renewable energy technology to advance these proven, yet still emerging, technologies in the

Federal marketplace. They blanket the entire nation and carry the same agency resource and

time saving benefits as Regional Super ESPCs. ESCOs chosen for these awards have unique

capabilities and experience in providing energy savings through installation of the technology,

thereby greatly reducing the risks of misapplying emerging technologies. Technology-Specific

Super ESPCs can also be comprehensive projects employing multiple energy conservation

measures, as long as the named technology is the focus of the project.

As shown in the exhibit on the next page, 16 Regional Super ESPC delivery orders were

awarded during FY 2002, along with three modifications that add project investment to delivery

orders awarded in previous years. Total contractor investment totaled $96.9 million, providing

annual savings of almost 1.3 trillion Btu to the Government. These delivery orders include five

by the Department of Defense, seven by the GSA, and one each by the Departments of Energy

and Transportation, NASA, and the National Archives and Records Administration.

3. Utility Energy Service Contracts

Section 403(a) of Executive Order 13123 requires that Federal agencies maximize their use of

available alternative financing contracting mechanisms, including UESCs, when life-cycle costeffective, to meet the energy reduction goals of the order. Agencies are encouraged to partner

with the private sector to implement facility and energy improvements, streamline contracts, and

maximize purchasing power. UESCs provide significant opportunities for making Federal

facilities more energy efficient at no net cost to taxpayers.

UESCs enable agencies to implement energy and water efficiency projects without obtaining

direct appropriations in advance. The net cost to the participating Federal agency remains

minimal, as the projects pay for themselves from a share of the energy cost savings. Utility

services range from rebates on energy-efficient equipment to energy audits, feasibility studies,

design, finance, and delivery of complete turn-key projects, with contract terms generally limited

to 10 years. Projects typically begin with an energy audit and feasibility study, and proceed to

engineering, design, and installation phases. 

FEMP helps Federal agencies and their utility companies work together to save energy and

dollars at Federal facilities. FEMP supports agencies and their utilities by promoting

Federal/utility partnerships through the Federal Utility Partnership Working Group and

supplying alternative financing information. FEMP provides comprehensive assistance and

services to agencies with the support of partners, including DOE offices, DOE national

laboratories, and private sector contractors. Six DOE regional offices serve as the initial

customer contact points and customer advocates. FEMP also sponsors utility-related training,

helps remove regulatory barriers, and provides information on utility restructuring and its effects

on Federal agencies to help agencies to take advantage of the partnerships. 

In FY 2002, a total of 54 UESCs were implemented by all Federal agencies. Private sector

investment in the projects totaled approximately $110.9 million. The estimated annual energy

savings from the 54 projects is 595.6 billion Btu. Cumulative cost savings from these projects

will be approximately $198.3 million.

Projects were undertaken by agencies to accomplish a wide variety of energy efficiency

improvements. Of the 54 UESCs awarded in FY 2002, 41 were implemented by the Department

of Defense. Contracts were put in place to perform infrastructure upgrades and purchase new

equipment to help installations reduce energy and water consumption. Examples of equipment

purchased with the UESC financing tool include: new thermal storage systems, chillers, boilers,

lights, motors, energy management control systems, and water reducing devices. 
44

4. Life-Cycle Costing (LCC)

Section 544 of NECPA, as amended in 1988, requires DOE to establish practical and effective

methods for determining the cost-effectiveness of energy and water conservation and renewable

energy projects in Federal buildings. The prescribed method of economic evaluation estimates

and compares life-cycle costs using the sum of all capital and operating costs of new or

retrofitted buildings or building systems over their expected lives or during a period of 25 years,

whichever is shorter. The method uses energy price projections and a discount rate determined

by the Secretary of Energy. In addition, section 544 requires that procedures be developed in

applying and implementing the methods that are established. EPACT further amends NECPA to

require, after January 1, 1994, that agencies that lease buildings to fully consider the costeffectiveness of all potential building space at the time of renewing or entering into a new lease.

FEMP publishes updated fuel energy price indices and discount factors for life-cycle cost

analyses on April 1 of each year. The most recent Energy Price Indices and Discount Factors for

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis, Annual Supplement to Handbook 135 was published and distributed to

Federal energy managers in April 2002.

A set of Building Life-Cycle Cost (BLCC) computer programs have been developed and

supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under FEMP

sponsorship. The programs are valuable economic tools to assist Federal energy managers in

performing LCC analyses. The latest update of the BLCC5 version of the software, which

incorporates the 2002 DOE/FEMP discount rate and the latest energy price projections from the

Energy Information Administration, was released April 1, 2002. Version BLCC 5.1-02 includes

two new modules for evaluating Military Construction (MILCON) projects. BLCC5.1-02 now

contains the following four modules for analyzing energy and water conservation and renewable

energy projects: 

# Analyses for Federal agency-funded projects;

# Analyses for Federal agency projects financed through ESPCs or UESCs;

# MILCON analyses for Department of Defense-funded projects; and 

# MILCON analyses for projects under DOD’s Energy Conservation Investment Program. 

Executive Order 13123 required DOE to provide guidance to clarify how agencies determine the

life-cycle cost for investments required by the Order, including how to compare different energy

and fuel options and assess the current tools (section 502(d)); and “assist agencies in ensuring

that all project cost estimates, bids, and agency budget requests for design, construction and

renovation of facilities are based on life-cycle costs (Section 505(a).” Such guidance was

delivered to agency heads by the Secretary of Energy on July 31, 2000. 
45

E. ENERGY STAR®

 and Energy Efficient Product Procurement 

Section 403(b) of Executive Order 13123 directs Federal agencies to purchase ENERGY STAR®

-

labeled products, or, for those product types not covered by the EPA/DOE ENERGY STAR®

labeling program, products “in the upper 25 percent of energy efficiency as designated by

FEMP.” In July 2001, President Bush added new requirements for buying products with low

standby power by issuing Executive Order 13221. This Order directs agencies to buy products

that use “no more than one watt in their standby power consuming mode” wherever available

and cost-effective, or otherwise to select products with the lowest available standby power. In

consultation with GSA, DLA, and their Federal customers, the ENERGY STAR® program, and

industry, FEMP has developed purchasing criteria for an initial group of 12 low-standby office

and consumer electronic equipment. Future purchasing recommendations will address other

low-standby products, such as appliances with electronic sensors, controls, and displays.

Recent changes in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR 23.203) mandate that all Federal

agencies comply with the Executive Order by purchasing ENERGY STAR® or other

energy-efficient products designated by FEMP, whenever “life-cycle cost-effective and

available.” These same requirements also apply to all agency contracts for services that include

provision of energy-using products, such as “. . . contracts for design, construction, renovation,

or maintenance of a public building.”

The ENERGY STAR®

 labeling program is a joint effort between EPA and DOE to help

manufacturers identify and market efficient products with the easily recognizable ENERGY

STAR® logo. Since this is a nationwide labeling program covering multiple products, it makes it

very simple for customers to identify truly efficient models among those offered—for instance,

in a retail showroom or among various models listed in a product catalog. The program includes

a wide variety of office equipment and home heating and cooling products, as well as many

consumer audio and video products (e.g., TVs, VCRs, and DVD players), appliances, and

residential windows. Some commercial equipment is also covered, such as unitary (rooftop) air

conditioners, reach-in refrigerators, commercial cooking equipment, exit signs, low-voltage

distribution transformers, and roofing products.

To assist Federal agencies in meeting the requirements of the Executive Order and FAR

directives, FEMP publishes a series of Product Energy Efficiency Recommendations which set

forth the efficiency levels that meet the ENERGY STAR®

 and “upper 25%” requirements of the

Executive Order, as well as the new requirements for low-standby products. The

Recommendations also provide cost-effectiveness examples, tips on important product selection

parameters such as sizing and fuel choice, and information about buying efficient products from

the Federal supply agencies: the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and GSA. The

Recommendations, which now cover 45 products, are available on FEMP’s Web site at 

www.eere.energy.gov/femp/procurement, as well as in print, through a loose-leaf binder called

“Buying Energy Efficient Products.” The binder is available free of charge from FEMP’s

clearinghouse (800-363-3732); subscribers receive new and updated material about twice per

year.

To be most effective, FEMP’s product energy efficiency recommendations need to be

incorporated into other purchasing guidance, such as agency-specific policies, construction
46

specifications, and services contracts. In addition, FEMP has partnered with DLA and GSA to

incorporate energy efficient purchasing in training workshops and promotional material designed

for Federal procurement officials. These training workshops help agencies comply with the FAR

and Executive Orders, as well as educate Federal buyers on the ENERGY STAR® labeling program

and FEMP’s Recommendations.

During FY 2002, FEMP worked with GSA’s Federal Supply Service to identify energy-efficient

equipment in supply catalogs and product offerings listed in GSA’s online shopping network,

GSA Advantage! DLA’s customers rely heavily on the information in the Federal Logistics

Information System (FLIS) database to procure products and equipment. The FLIS catalogs

millions of items by “national stock numbers” (NSNs), which can be accessed by vendor name

or code. DLA has established a database field within the FLIS that highlights positive

environmental attributes, including energy efficiency and low standby power using the FEMP

efficiency criteria. 

Encouraging energy-efficient Federal purchasing means working with suppliers as well as

buyers. FEMP published a reference guide on How to Sell Energy-Efficient Products to the

Federal Government, and sponsored a training session for suppliers and manufacturers at its

annual Energy 2002 Conference. FEMP also assisted GSA Acquisition Centers in providing

information and contractual guidance to vendors on reporting information on the energy

efficiency of their products.

Among FEMP’s biggest success with energy-efficient purchasing was the incorporation of

FEMP-recommended product efficiency levels into agency guide specifications for construction

and major renovation. When an agency writes a FEMP recommendation into a “guide spec” for

a given product, it helps assure that virtually all the buildings constructed by that agency will use

energy-efficient HVAC, lighting, and other equipment that complies with the requirements of

the Executive Order; this affects millions of dollars worth of products and construction projects. 

Following the early lead of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering

Command, FEMP is working with DOD’s Tri-Service Committee on Unified Facilities Guide

Specifications to assure that the updated guide specs will incorporate these same FEMPrecommended efficiency levels for equipment such as electric chillers, rooftop unitary air

conditioners, fluorescent and HID lighting, motors, exit signs, distribution transformers, and

roofing products.

FEMP has partnered with DLA and the DOE Buildings Program to promote Federal purchases

of newly introduced unitary (commercial rooftop) air conditioners that are significantly more

energy-efficient than traditional models (www.pnl.gov/uac). The intent, in keeping with Section

127(c)(3) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, is not only to save tax dollars, but also to use

Federal buying power to help establish an initial market for promising new technology. This can

help reduce the risk to manufacturers of developing and marketing a more efficient,

cost-effective line of products. To achieve this objective, the participating agencies have

organized a competitive procurement for “packaged” air conditioners, which are often used in

low-rise Federal and commercial buildings. In the past, such units have typically been selected

based on lowest first-cost rather than lowest life-cycle cost—including substantial energy

operating costs. In contrast, the request for proposals (RFP) issued in January 2002 focused on

life-cycle cost, including electricity consumption based on typical weather conditions. A
47

technical and economic evaluation of the proposals resulted in basic ordering agreements for two

products, one with high efficiency and lower first-cost than in the past, and a second product,

introduced in response to the RFP, that is more costly than the other to purchase, but is costeffective for many applications due to its exceptionally high energy efficiency (SEER 13.5). 

The agreement also allows non-Federal buyers to contract directly with the supplier for these

same high-efficiency units, at the same purchase price negotiated for DLA and their Federal

customers.

F. Integrated Whole Building Efficiency

1. Federal Building Energy Performance Standards

EPCA as amended by EPACT, mandates that new Federal buildings must contain energy saving

and renewable energy specifications that meet or exceed the energy saving and renewable energy

specifications of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE)/ Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Standard 90.1-1989

and the Council of American Building Officials Model Energy Codes (MEC) 1992.

A final rule on 10 CFR 434, Energy Code for New Federal Commercial and Multi-Family High

Rise Residential Buildings was published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2000, and

became effective on October 8, 2001. The Energy Code revised the prior interim Federal

standards to conform generally with the codified version of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989 and

incorporated changes in the areas of lighting, mechanical ventilation, motors, building envelope,

and fenestration rating test procedures, and test procedures for heating and cooling equipment. 

Additionally, the new lighting provisions are more stringent than those in Standard 90.1-1989

and reflect new information concerning energy requirements needed to achieve adequate lighting

levels. DOE is also initiating another update of the Federal commercial building standards using

ASHRAE 90.1-1999 as the model. 

A separate proposed rule for new Federal residential buildings was issued by DOE in the

Federal Register in May 1997. DOE has determined that the 1997 proposed rule does not

contain sufficient cost effective, energy efficient requirements for new Federal residential

buildings. Therefore, DOE plans to propose a new rule containing updated energy efficient

measures. 
48

2. ENERGY STAR®

 Buildings

Section 403 of Executive Order 13123 calls upon agencies to strive to meet the ENERGY STAR®

building criteria for energy performance and indoor environmental quality in their eligible

facilities to the maximum extent practicable by the end of 2002. Agencies have the option of

using ESPCs, UESCs, or other means to conduct evaluations and make improvements to their

buildings in order to meet the criteria. Buildings that rank in the top 25 percent in energy

efficiency relative to comparable commercial and Federal buildings qualify to receive the

ENERGY STAR® building label. More than 100 Federal buildings have earned the ENERGY

STAR® building label.

The ENERGY STAR® building program was developed by EPA with DOE as a co-sponsor to

promote energy efficiency through the use of online software that benchmarks and ranks

buildings by type in terms of energy efficiency. Many types of buildings are now eligible for the

ENERGY STAR® label, including offices, K-12 schools, supermarkets, and hospitals. Other

building types will be included in the program in future years. ENERGY STAR® building

certification and labeling is based upon measured building data and a comparison with

archetypes in various regions of the country. Many agencies are using the five-stage ENERGY

STAR®

 implementation strategy, which consists of lighting upgrades, building tune-up, other load

reductions, fan system upgrades, and heating and cooling systems upgrades. 

The ENERGY STAR®

 building program is currently being implemented and utilized by many

different agencies. To spotlight a few examples:

# The USDA’s Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin,

Research Demo House/Laboratory was awarded the ENERGY STAR®

 building label in FY

2002, and is certified as a Green Built House. The design and construction incorporated

environmentally sensitive practices, reducing pollutants, and improving indoor air

quality, while conserving water, energy, and other natural resources. 

# The Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force signed criteria directing the use of

ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001, Energy Standard for Buildings (except Low-Rise

Residential Buildings). Also in FY 2002, a Memorandum of Understanding between

EPA and the Pentagon Renovation Office was signed agreeing to use the Portfolio

Manager rating tool, adopt the ENERGY STAR® strategy, educate staff and public, provide

metering/sub-metering, and conform to current indoor environmental standards.

# By the end of 2002, GSA earned the ENERGY STAR® building label for 93 of its owned

facilities and one leased facility. This represents approximately 19 percent of the eligible

square footage, and 15 percent of facilities. 

# The VA worked with DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to identify VA medical

centers that qualify for the ENERGY STAR®

 label for buildings. Forty-nine medical

centers were identified as ENERGY STAR®-worthy during a preliminary evaluation.

3. Sustainable Building Design

As required by Section 403(d) of Executive Order 13123, DOD and GSA, in consultation with

DOE and EPA, have developed sustainable design principles. Agencies are required to apply

such principles to the development, design, and construction of new facilities. Agencies shall

optimize life-cycle costs, pollution, and other environmental and energy costs associated with

the construction, life-cycle operation, and decommissioning of the facility. Agencies have the

option of using ESPCs or UESCs to aid in the construction of sustainably-designed buildings. 

Nineteen agencies are either developing or have implemented the Whole Building Design Guide

(WBDG) and the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environment Design

(LEEDTM) programs into their facilities’ design standards and master planning process, and are

applying integrated design approaches to the life-cycle of buildings and infrastructures. The

WBDG and LEEDTM are Internet resources which provide a wide range of building-related

design guidance, criteria, and technology for the integration of sustainable building design. The

WBDG is an up-to-date, knowledge-based tool, creatively linked to information across

disciplines and traditional professional boundaries. It is intended to encourage the “whole

building approach” to design and construction, and is used by Federal, military, and private

sector architects, engineers, and project managers. The approach directs members of the

planning, design, and construction team to look at the project materials, systems, and assemblies

from many different perspectives. The design is evaluated for cost, quality of life, flexibility,

efficiency, overall environmental impact, productivity, creativity, and the benefit to the facility’s

occupants.

Examples of sustainable design measures incorporated into facilities include the installation of

high performance windows; direct-digital control systems; high efficiency electric lighting;

energy efficient HVAC equipment; and increased insulation in roofs, walls, and foundations.

Many agencies are also incorporating low-cost projects such as replacing high volume water

fixtures, installing solar lighting, upgrading lighting with motion detectors and occupancy

sensors, installing or replacing insulation, replacing mechanical ventilation systems with natural

ventilation, and installing water conserving toilets. In support of this effort, several agencies

have also conducted training on implementing the sustainable design principles. 

The Department of the Treasury has mandated use of the WBDG for its new facilities. The new

Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Headquarters building is being designed to meet or exceed

the LEEDTM silver level. The building will incorporate daylighting, plants on the roof,

utilization of captured rainwater for irrigation, high efficiency irrigation, digital controls,

individual HVAC controls, green power use, and occupancy sensors for lighting. ATF’s new

laboratory and fire research center were also designed following sustainable design guidelines.

The Department of the Army has embraced the design, construction, operation and

reuse/removal of the built environment in an environmentally and energy efficient manner and

has identified projects in FY 2002 and beyond as Army Sustainable Design and Development

Showcase Facilities. This program will facilitate awareness of how facility systems and

materials affect initial project and life-cycle costs, operations and maintenance practices, and

ultimate facility performance over the facilities lifetime. The Army’s policy requires all projects

to be scored against its Sustainable Project Rating Tool, achieving at least a bronze level but
50

encourages striving for higher sustainable rating levels (Silver, Gold, and Platinum). 

Additionally, approximately 450 design engineers and installation personnel were trained in FY

2002 through the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers’ three-day sustainable design workshop. 

GSA has incorporated sustainable design guidance into the following documents: The Design

Excellence Program Guide; Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service; and GSA’s

Solicitation for Offers for Leasing. GSA has incorporated sustainable design criteria into all

guide specifications, facilities standards, and other construction requirements for new

construction and renovation efforts. GSA’s goal is to have all new design projects starting in FY

2003 meet criteria for LEEDTM Green Building Certification.

4. Highly Efficient Systems

Under Section 403(g) of Executive Order 13123, agencies are directed to implement district

energy systems and other highly efficient systems in new construction or retrofit projects.

Agencies are to consider combined cooling, heat, and power when upgrading and assessing

facility power needs and survey local natural resources to optimize use of available biomass,

bioenergy, geothermal, or other naturally occurring energy sources.

Highly efficient systems are being installed and used by nearly every reporting agency. For

example, in FY 2002, the Department of Defense’s Naval Medical Center, San Diego, upgraded

its cogeneration plant. Three 850-kilowatt gas turbines were replaced with one 4.6-megawatt

gas turbine and a 25,000 lb/hr heat recovery boiler. Two 2.5-megawatt diesel generators will

provide stand-by power. The Marine Corps’ Marine Air Ground Task Force Training

Command, 29 Palms, California, will add two 600-ton absorption chillers to the 7.5-megawatt

cogeneration plant to make further use of waste heat from the plant. The resulting system will

be a combined cooling, heat, and power plant capable of handling increased loads envisioned in

the base master plan. The plant will dramatically improve reliability of the cooling system, and

reduce grid demand, avoiding costly peak charges.

The VA Medical Center at Mountain Home, Tennessee, is planning to build, operate, and

maintain an on-site energy center. The project will be the first privately-financed and operated

energy plant on VA property, and the first using VA’s unique enhanced-use authority. The

energy center will use the most recent cogeneration technologies and provide utilities to the

Medical Center and other neighboring facilities. The project will replace existing inefficient

systems with high efficiency units, and enable the center to reduce its energy consumption and

achieve operational cost savings of more than $15 million over the term of the lease with no

capital cost to VA. The project will also result in a cost avoidance of more than $3 million in

major construction funding, to be used for renovations at the research and educational facilities

located at the Center. 

HHS’ Food and Drug Administration’s White Oak Campus, Maryland, will use cogeneration. 

As designed, one 5,800 kilowatt dual fuel (natural gas and diesel) engine-driven generator will

produce 100 percent of the power for the main office building on the campus. The free waste

heat recoverable from the engine oil cooler and water jacket is transferred to the hot water

heating system. Recoverable higher temperature waste heat from the exhaust stack gases is used
51

in warm weather to power a 900-ton absorption chiller. In cold weather, the recoverable engine

stack gas heat is added to the water heating system. 

5. Water Conservation

Under Section 207 of Executive Order 13123, agencies are required to reduce water

consumption and associated energy use in their facilities to reach the goals set under Section

503(f) of the order.

The water conservation goals require agencies to implement life-cycle cost-effective water

efficiency programs that include developing a comprehensive water management plan and at

least four separate Water Efficiency Improvement Best Management Practices (BMP), as

defined in DOE guidance documents. The goals include the following schedule for program

implementation in agencies’ facilities: five percent of facilities by 2002, 15 percent of facilities

by 2004, 30 percent of facilities by 2006, 50 percent of facilities by 2008, and 80 percent of

facilities by 2010.

Thirteen agencies reported that at least five percent of their facilities have implemented

comprehensive water management plans. One agency reported that 3.7 percent of their facilities

have implemented comprehensive water management plans, and one agency reported eight

facilities with comprehensive water management plans, but the total number of facilities is

unavailable. Four agencies reported that no facilities had implemented comprehensive water

management plans. Six agencies were unable to report whether their facilities had implemented

comprehensive water management plans.

Nine agencies reported that at least five percent of their facilities have implemented four or more

BMPs. Four agencies reported that between 4.7 percent to 0.2 percent of their facilities had

implemented four or more BMPs, and one agency reported two facilities with four or more

BMPs implemented, but the total number of facilities is unavailable. Four agencies reported that

no facilities had implemented four or more water BMPs. Seven agencies were unable to report

whether their facilities had implemented four or more water BMPs.

FY 2000 water consumption data are used by agencies as baseline usage to measure progress in

water conservation efforts. Agencies use actual data where available or develop estimates where

actual data are not available. Water usage was reported to the DOE in the FY 2002 annual

energy reports. Water conservation measures implemented and water saved on an annual basis

are also reported. 

During FY 2002, all reporting agencies combined consumed more than 254.0 billion gallons of

water at a cost of $425.8 million. This was a decrease compared to the FY 2000 water

consumption level of 256.4 billion gallons, and an decrease in cost, from the FY 2000 cost of

$432 million. 
52

Conservation efforts undertaken by agencies during FY 2002 included the installation or

implementation of the following:

# Low-flow, water-efficient faucets, showers, and toilets in facilities;

# Motion-sensor faucets;

# Rooftop recovery system;

# Early leak detection and repair;

# Replacing once-through cooling systems with recycling cooling towers;

# Eliminating once-through cooling;

# Converting turf landscaping to low water requirement xeriscaping;

# Using reclaimed water for landscaping;

# Improving the accuracy of water metering, including meter calibration, certification, and

installing automated meter reading systems;

# Reducing leakage losses from surface water cooling systems;

# Saving water drained from circulating chilled and hot water systems for refilling the

systems following repairs;

# Revising scientific operating procedures by keeping autoclaves on stand-by to reduce the

supply of water to the equipment;

# Installing gray water recycling systems that treat wastewater generated on site and

recycle it back to the facility;

# Water conservation showcase exhibits;

# Water conservation awareness programs;

# Innovative passive storm water retention areas;

# Recycling industrial waste water;

# Repairing steam trap leaks;

# Non-potable water replacing city water in once-through cooling systems research;

# Reusing treated effluent from groundwater remediation facilities for irrigation and/or as

condenser water research; and

# Examining the feasibility of recycling the water wipe solution for printing presses.

Water conservation measures not only reduce water use and cost, but also reduce energy

consumption (for pumping) and sewage treatment costs. Additionally, water conservation helps

to reduce the quantities of wastewater treatment chemicals (most notably chlorine) being

released into the environment, and reduces the risk of drawing down aquifers or saltwater

intrusion into aquifers.
53

G. Renewable Energy

Section 503 of Executive Order 13123 directed the Secretary of Energy in collaboration with the

heads of other agencies to develop a goal for increased renewable energy use in the Federal

Government. The Renewable Energy Working Group of the Interagency Energy Management

Task Force worked with agency and industry representatives to develop an appropriate

renewable energy goal and guidance on how to measure progress toward the goal. In July 2000,

the Secretary of Energy approved a goal that the equivalent of 2.5 percent of electricity

consumption from Federal facilities should come from new renewable energy sources by 2005. 

Based on FY 2002 Federal facility electricity consumption of 50,135.6 gigawatthours (GWh),

the goal for new renewable energy use in the Federal Government is currently 1,253 GWh by

2005. New renewable energy only includes energy from projects or purchases of renewable

energy contracted or built after 1990. Although the goal is based on Federal electricity

consumption, non-electric renewable energy use is also eligible to be counted toward progress in

meeting the goal.

Federal agencies purchased or produced 663 GWh of new renewable energy in FY 2002, 53

percent of the way to the goal. Renewable energy sources included purchases of renewable

energy or renewable energy credits (310.9 GWh), biomass projects (201.0 GWh), ground source

heat pumps (88.8 GWh), photovoltaics (23.5 GWh), wind energy (14.1 GWh), biomass

transportation fuels (18.0 GWh), and solar thermal applications (6.5 GWh). FY 2002

consumption of new renewable energy increased 83 percent over the amount of new renewable

energy the Federal Government used in FY 2001.

The renewable energy goal encourages agencies to acquire new renewable energy, but it is

important to note that agencies continue to support and use renewable energy sources developed

in the 1970s and 1980s as well. Large-scale geothermal is an important source of energy for

Federal facilities at China Lake, California and Keflavik, Iceland. Waste to energy systems have

provided heat and power to facilities in Virginia for over 20 years. Photovoltaic systems have

played an integral role in powering navigation aids and remote equipment in many agencies

since the mid 1980s. The energy from these older projects far exceed the amount of new

renewable energy added since 1990. These older systems provide a solid base of experience that

help the credibility of new projects using similar technologies.

In order to better track Federal renewable energy use, FEMP, with technical support from the

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), integrated information from the Million Solar

Roofs Initiative solar system project registry, Sandia National Laboratory’s assessment of solar

systems at U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service

facilities and other disparate data sources into a single database and Web-enabled project

registry. The database contains information on renewable energy usage at more than 25,000

sites, including information on green power purchases, on-site power generation, and thermal

applications. FEMP and NREL are continuing to enter system data into the registry to more

accurately reflect a baseline for Federal renewable energy use.
54

Million Solar Roofs

Section 204 of Executive Order 13123 restated a goal of 2,000 solar roof installations in the

Federal Government by 2000, and 20,000 installations by 2010. The goal was first articulated in

the 1997 announcement of the Million Solar Roofs Initiative. In the period from June 1997 to

April 2000 the Federal government installed 1,745 solar energy systems. This total included

1,682 solar hot water systems, 58 photovoltaic power systems and 5 transpired solar thermal

collectors. The U.S. Navy installed an additional 1,000 solar hot water systems by the end of FY

2000. This brought total installations to just over 2,700 systems by the end of 2000,

accomplishing the Federal goal. In FY 2001 the total increased to 3,151 systems, including 3,041

solar water heaters, 105 PV systems, and 5 transpired collectors. In FY 2002, solar water

heating systems increased to 3,085, PV systems to 309, and transpired collectors to 7, for a total

of 3,401.
 

13Process energy is that energy used in buildings for operations other than standard building services. In cases

where separate reporting was not possible, due to the lack of meters or estimation techniques, process energy was

reported as though it was part of the energy used for standard building services. 

 

14The General Services Administration (GSA) is the primary leasing agent for the Federal Government, although

most of the other agencies do have some leasing authority. In some cases, GSA will delegate operations and

maintenance responsibility to individual agencies for leased space, requiring the agency to be responsible for paying

the utility bills and reporting energy consumption. 

 

15Conversion factors of 10,346 Btu per kilowatt hour for electricity and 1,390 Btu per pound of steam are used to

calculate primary energy consumption. See Appendix B for conversion factors for site-delivered energy

consumption.

II. ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN STANDARD BUILDINGS

A. Energy Consumption and Costs for Standard Buildings

The Federal Government provides energy to approximately 500,000 buildings and facilities

comprising approximately 3.4 billion square feet of floor area. Of this, approximately 3.0 billion

square feet was reported as standard building space in FY 2002. The remaining space is reported

as energy intensive facilities or exempt facilities and is discussed in Sections III and IV

respectively. The energy is used in standard buildings provides lighting, heating, ventilation, air

conditioning, and other standard building services, and is used for certain process operations that

are not reported separately.13 Federal buildings include both Federally-owned and leased

buildings. However, in many instances the lessor pays the energy bill, and consumption and cost

data may not be available to the Government. Accordingly, Federal agencies report data for

leased space to the maximum extent practicable.14

Table 5-A shows the total primary energy consumed in Federal buildings and facilities,

including energy resources used to generate, process, and transport electricity and steam.15

Primary energy consumed in buildings and facilities in FY 2002 decreased 9.6 percent from FY

1985 and 0.9 percent from FY 2001.

Table 5-B shows that agencies have decreased sitedelivered energy consumption in buildings by 23.8

percent, from 415.5 trillion Btu in FY 1985 to

316.8 trillion Btu in FY 2002. A comparison to FY

2001 shows an decrease of 2.5 percent in total

buildings energy consumption.

Of the 29 agencies represented on the tables for 

FY 2002, 11, including the Department of Defense,

consume 99 percent of the reported buildings

energy use. Energy used in buildings accounts for

30.3 percent of the total 1.0 quads used by the

Federal Government. The mix of Federal buildings

energy use for Defense and civilian agencies is

depicted in Figure 5.

In 1998, the State Department developed a statistical method for estimating the energy consumption in the large number of foreign buildings it owns and leases. This method was

subsequently applied to estimate FY 1991 energy consumption and is now used annually to assess progress. The FY 1991 foreign building estimates were combined with domestic building

data for the fiscal years 1985 and 1990, since these are base years for performance goals.

In 1998, the State Department developed a statistical method for estimating the energy consumption in the large number of foreign buildings it owns and leases. This method was

subsequently applied to estimate FY 1991 energy consumption and is now used annually to assess progress. The FY 1991 foreign building estimates were combined with domestic building

data for the fiscal years 1985 and 1990, since these are base years for performance goals.

Electricity constitutes 45.2 percent (143.3 trillion Btu) of Federal buildings energy use; 34.5

percent is accounted for by natural gas (109.4 trillion Btu), and 10.6 percent by fuel oil (33.5

trillion Btu). Coal, purchased steam, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/propane, and energy

reported as “other” (comprised mainly of chilled water), account for the remaining 9.7 percent.

Figure 6 illustrates the proportion of energy consumption in buildings and facilities that is

attributable to electricity for FY 1985 through FY 2002. The figure also breaks out the amount

of Btu lost through the generation process and amount of Btu delivered to the site. In FY 2002,

electricity consumption, including energy used at the source of generation, accounted for

approximately 70.9 percent (434,416.5 billion Btu) of the total primary Btu used in buildings and

facilities (612,755.9 billion Btu; see Table 5-A). Of this amount, 33.0 percent or 143.3 trillion

Btu reached the site of use. The remaining 67.0 percent, 291.2 trillion Btu, was lost during the

generation and transmission processes. Decreases in consumption relative to FY 2001 were seen

in fuel oil (18.0 percent), LPG/propane (11.2 percent), coal (10.8 percent), and purchased steam

(6.3 percent). Electricity and natural gas consumption remained steady with increases of less

than 1 percent. Fuels reported under the category of “other” increased 30.1 percent from FY

2001.

The mix of fuels consumed by Government buildings has changed notably from FY 1985

through FY 2002. The actual consumption of electricity in FY 2002 increased 12.1 percent since

FY 1985. The proportion of energy consumed in Federal buildings and facilities that was

electricity increased from 30.7 percent in FY 1985 to 45.2 percent in FY 2002. Over the same

period, fuel oil use decreased from 22.4 percent of the total in FY 1985 to 10.6 percent in FY

2002. The portion of the Federal buildings fuel mix comprised by natural gas has increased from

30.7 percent in FY 1985 to 34.5 percent in FY 2002. The use of coal as a fuel source, which

accounted for 12.6 percent of the total energy consumed in FY 1985, has declined to 4.2 percent

of the total in FY 2002. Contributing to this has been the practice of agencies, such as DOD and

DOE, to purchase steam rather than generating their own in coal-fired plants.

As shown in Table 6 the consumption of petroleum-based fuels in buildings during FY 2002

decreased 62.5 percent compared to FY 1985, and decreased 17.6 percent from FY 2001. 

Efforts by agencies to utilize natural gas as a cost-effective substitute for petroleum-based fuels

in buildings, as well as conservation of fuel oil and LPG/propane in buildings contributed to the

reductions from FY 1985. Petroleum fuel consumption in buildings during FY 2002 represented

only 11.4 percent of all energy consumed in Federal standard buildings compared to 23.1 percent

in FY 1985. Of this amount for FY 2002, 93.1 percent is attributed to fuel oil and the remaining

6.9 percent to LPG/propane.

The energy used in standard buildings in FY 2002 accounted for approximately 37.8 percent of

the total Federal energy bill. Tables 7-A and 7-B show that the Federal Government spent

approximately $3,664.9 million for buildings energy during the fiscal year, a 6.8 percent

decrease ($265.7 million) from FY 2001 expenditures. 

 

Overall, the unit cost of all fuel types used decreased 4.4 percent from the previous year, from

$12.10 per million Btu to $11.57 per million Btu. The main contributor to the overall decrease in

unit costs was natural gas, for which the prices paid by the Government declined by 25.9

percent. Prices paid by the Government for electricity also declined 0.8 percent and the unit

costs of LPG/propane, purchased steam, and “other” combined decreased 5.1 percent. Increases

in unit costs were seen in coal (19.0 percent) and fuel oil (0.9 percent).

In constant 2002 dollars, Federal energy costs for buildings and facilities decreased 30.9 percent

from $5,305.3 million in FY 1985 to $3,664.9 million in FY 2002. The average cost for

buildings energy across all fuels was $11.57 per million Btu in FY 2002, down 9.4 percent from

$12.77 per million Btu in FY 1985 (in constant dollars).

Electricity costs of $2,622.8 million represent approximately 71.6 percent of total expenditures

of $3,664.9 million for buildings energy in FY 2002. Natural gas costs account for

approximately 16.2 percent of the total, expenditures for fuel oil account for 5.9 percent, with the

remaining 6.3 percent attributable to expenditures for LPG/propane, coal, purchased steam, and

“other.” 

In FY 2002, the cost of all energy used in Federal buildings was $1.21 per gross square foot. Of

the $1.21 spent per square foot Government-wide, $0.86 was spent for electricity, $0.20 was

spent for natural gas, $0.07 was spent for fuel oil, and the remaining $0.08 was spent for

purchased steam, coal, LPG/propane, and other fuels.

B. Progress Toward the Mandated Goals for Buildings and Facilities

Both the magnitude of energy consumption and the potential for energy savings have prompted

legislative and executive branch initiatives to achieve energy conservation in the Federal

buildings sector.16 Federal Government progress toward the 10, 20, and 30 percent energy

reduction goals of NECPA and Executive Order 13123 is illustrated in Figure 7. 

FIGURE 7

Progress Toward the Energy Reduction Goals for Federal Standard Buildings, FY 2002
64

(Executive Order 13123 also establishes a 35 percent reduction goal for 2010.) Overall, the

Federal Government reduced its site-delivered energy consumption in buildings and facilities by

25.5 percent by FY 2002 compared to FY 1985 when measured in terms of British Thermal

Units consumed per gross square foot (Btu/GSF) of floor area.

Table 8-A shows the FY 2002 performance of the individual agencies in site-delivered Btu/GSF

compared to FY 1985. Site-delivered Btu reflects the amount of energy delivered to the point of

use and is used to measure agency performance toward the mandated goals. 

Table 8-B shows the performance of the agencies measured in terms of primary Btu/GSF. 

Primary Btu represents the average amount of energy required at the source of generation

(primary energy) rather than the actual Btu delivered to the site. Primary Btu includes energy

resources used to generate, process, and transport electricity and steam. Measured in terms of

source energy, the Federal Government shows a reduction of 11.3 percent in FY 2002 compared

to FY 1985. This large difference from the site-delivered Btu/GSF reduction of 25.5 percent

reflects the significant declines in direct use of fossil fuels and the offsetting increases in the

share of the fuel mix contributed by electricity.

Contributing to the overall reduction of 25.5 percent in site-delivered Btu/GSF were the

percentage reductions greater than 25 percent made by the following six agencies: the

Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Justice, and the Tennessee Valley

Authority. The progress of each agency toward the goal for standard buildings is illustrated in

Figure 8. 

The agencies used a variety of strategies to reduce their energy consumption. Operations and

maintenance (O&M) procedures continued to be emphasized as a major component in the effort

to achieve the energy reduction goals. Improvements in energy efficiency were achieved

through improved energy systems operations and both preventive maintenance and improved

maintenance. O&M funding, used for the replacement of boilers, HVAC equipment, windows,

and lighting systems, continued to benefit energy conservation.

In FY 2002, the implementation of many no-cost and low-cost energy conservation measures

was continued, such as reducing lighting levels, lowering hot water temperatures, turning off

unused equipment, and installing energy-efficient windows, insulation, weather stripping, and

set-back thermometers.

Numerous energy-efficient building retrofits and energy conservation projects were undertaken

to supplement the no-cost, low-cost measures. These initiatives can be categorized by lighting

system replacement, HVAC equipment modernization, building envelope improvements, and

other miscellaneous projects, such as installation of energy management control systems. 

Energy savings performance contracts were often pursued as supplemental sources of funding, as

well as utility energy service contracting initiatives. Other activities include energy awareness

programs featuring energy awareness seminars, publication of materials promoting energy

efficiency, the procurement of energy-efficient goods and products, increased maintenance

training, and increased engineering assistance.

FIGURE 8

Progress of Individual Agencies Toward the Federal Reduction Goal for Standard Buildings

FY 2002 Compared to FY 1985

A number of agencies began submitting energy data to DOE starting in FY 1989 in compliance

with NECPA as amended by the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of 1988 (Pub.

L. 100-615). Among these agencies are the Department of State, the Office of Personnel

Management, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. These three agencies submitted

historical energy data back to FY 1985. For FY 1990 and forward, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission energy consumption is reported as part of DOE and is therefore grouped under the

category of “Other” for the years prior to FY 1990. Other agencies grouped under the category

of “Other” in the tables had no buildings data to report for FY 1985. These agencies include the

Federal Trade Commission, the National Archives and Records Administration, the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, the Railroad Retirement Board, Social Security Administration, and the

U.S. Information Agency. The National Science Foundation, Federal Communication

Commission, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Office of Personnel Management

also are grouped under this category due to lack of reporting in more recent years.

In FY 2002, GSA continued to delegate building management authority to agencies that occupy

buildings owned and operated by GSA. As a result, several agencies reported increased gross

square footage and energy consumption relative to FY 1985, while GSA reported decreases in

these categories during the same period. The GSA delegation accounts for the significant interyear changes in energy consumption reported by various individual agencies. 
68

III. INDUSTRIAL, LABORATORY, AND OTHER ENERGY INTENSIVE

FACILITIES

A. Energy Consumption and Costs for Energy Intensive Facilities

NECPA, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 8253, allows agencies to exclude from the buildings goal,

facilities which house energy intensive activities. The energy consumed in these facilities is

reported under the category of “industrial, laboratory, and other energy intensive facilities.”

The designation of these facilities is at the discretion of each agency. Currently, 13 agencies are

excluding specific facilities from the NECPA goal and reporting them as energy intensive

facilities under Executive Order 13123: the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense,

Energy, Health and Human Services, Justice, and the Treasury, EPA, Federal Communications

Commission, GSA, NASA, the Social Security Administration, and the International

Broadcasting Bureau (formerly known as the U.S. Information Agency). Lists of the energy

intensive facilities that have been identified by the agencies are included in Appendix D. 

Table 9 shows that energy consumed in industrial, laboratory, and other energy intensive

facilities have decreased 11.9 percent compared to FY 1990 and increased 1.7 percent from FY

2001. During FY 2002, the Department of Defense consumed 28.5 trillion Btu of this category’s

energy, 46.5 percent of all energy used by the Federal Government in energy intensive facilities. 

Some of the fluctuations in energy consumption in energy intensive facilities resulted from

agencies changing data collection and reporting procedures. The Social Security Administration

began reporting its energy separately from the HHS in FY 1996 and has elected to designate the

Social Security Administration’s National Computer Center as energy intensive. The

Department of Justice commenced reporting energy consumption in its energy intensive facilities

during FY 1994, but has not backed out the consumption for these facilities from the standard

buildings category for previous years. NASA began reporting energy under this category in

FY 1989 and has revised its prior year data to reflect the removal of its energy intensive facilities

from the standard building category. GSA began reporting energy in energy intensive facilities

in FY 1990 and has backed out this energy consumption from its FY 1985 standard buildings

data. The Departments of Agriculture and Commerce both began reporting energy intensive

facilities separately from standard buildings in FY 1992. USDA revised all of its prior year

buildings data back to FY 1985 to reflect the exclusion of the Agricultural Research Service. 

The Commerce Department revised its standard buildings data for FY 1985, FY 1990, and FY

1992 forward to reflect the removal of its energy intensive facilities. EPA has removed all of its

facilities (laboratories) from the standard buildings category and classified them as energy

intensive facilities from FY 1985 forward.

 GSA’s large increase in energy reported under this category beginning in FY 2000 is a result of the agency reclassifying buildings from the standard buildings inventory for

FY 1990 and FY 2000 forward without adjusting data for the intervening years.

Energy used in energy intensive facilities accounts for approximately 5.9 percent of the total 1.0

quads used by the Federal Government. Electricity constitutes 45.4 percent of the energy used in

energy intensive facilities, 34.8 percent is accounted for by natural gas, 6.0 percent by coal, and

10.0 percent by fuel oil. Small amounts of purchased steam, liquefied petroleum gas

(LPG)/propane, and “other” energy account for the remaining 3.8 percent.

The energy used in energy intensive operations in FY 2002 accounted for approximately 6.1

percent of the total Federal energy bill. Table 10 shows that the Federal Government spent

approximately $590.1 million for this category’s energy during the fiscal year. The combined

cost of energy intensive facility energy in FY 2002 was $9.64 per million Btu, down 9.2 percent

from the combined cost of $10.62 reported in FY 2001 (see Appendix C).

B. Statutory Background and Progress Toward Goals for Energy Intensive Facilities

Under section 543(a)(2) of NECPA, as amended by EPACT, 42 U.S.C. § 8253, buildings that

house energy-intensive activities may be excluded from NECPA’s performance goal for

buildings. These buildings are listed in Appendix D. Most energy used in excluded buildings is

process energy. Process energy is consumed in industrial operations, laboratories certain R&D

activities, and in electronic-intensive facilities.

Executive Order 12902 expanded the scope of Federal energy management activities beyond the

NECPA mandates by establishing goals for industrial operations. It required industrial facilities

to increase in energy efficiency by at least 20 percent by 2005 as compared to 1990. Section 203

of Executive Order 13123 further expands this goal by requiring each agency to reduce energy

consumption per square foot, per unit of production, or per other unit as applicable by 20 percent

by 2005 and 25 percent by 2010 relative to 1990. This goal covers laboratory and other energyintensive facilities in addition to industrial facilities. Measures undertaken to achieve this goal

must be life-cycle cost-effective, and agencies are also directed to implement all cost-effective

water conservation projects. 

During 1999, the Energy Intensive Facilities Working Group worked to produce a guidance

document entitled Guidelines: Executive Order 13123, Section 203 Performance Goals for

Industrial, Laboratory, Research, and Other Energy-Intensive Facilities. The document was

reviewed and approved by the Interagency Energy Management Task Force and issued in

January 2000. The guidelines fulfill two requirements under the Executive Order. These are

that the Secretary of Energy shall:

# Issue guidelines to assist agencies in measuring energy per square foot, per unit of

production, or other applicable unit in industrial, laboratory, research, and other energyintensive facilities (Section 502(a)); and

# Develop guidance to assist agencies in calculating appropriate energy baselines for

previously exempt facilities and facilities occupied after 1990 in order to measure

progress toward goals (Section 502(c)).

The guidance presents three options for measuring performance. These are: a rate-based

measure of annual energy consumed per number of production units; a rate-based measure of

annual energy consumed per number of other applicable units (for example, number of

experiments, labor hours, customers served); and Btu per gross square foot. The guidance

provides advise on which measurement option is appropriate, depending on agency-specific

factors. The guidance also advises agencies on the proper manner of calculating appropriate

energy baselines for previously exempt buildings and facilities. The Executive Order contains

strict criteria for exemption that will mean agencies having to re-examine previously exempt

buildings and possibly reassign them to one of the goal categories. 

More detail on each agency’s approach to tracking and achieving progress toward the energy

intensive facility goals are contained in the individual agency’s narratives in Section VI.
72

The Department of Defense reports facilities that perform production or industrial functions

under the energy intensive facilities category. Because the relationship between energy

consumption and production varies widely between processes, the Department of Defense has

decided to use energy usage per gross square foot as the performance measure for the industrial

and laboratory facility category. Additionally, to simplify data collection, and the associated

metering and reporting costs, the Department of Defense considers an entire base an industrial

facility if 60 percent or more of the base-wide energy use is for industrial purposes. The

Department of Defense established a FY 1990 baseline of 213,349 Btu/GSF for the energy

intensive facilities category. During FY 2002, the Department of Defense achieved a

20.7 percent reduction in Btu/GSF consumption relative to the FY 1990 base year. 

In FY 2002, DOE reported a reduction in its laboratory and industrial facilities Btu per gross

square foot of 22.4 percent compared to FY 1990. These facilities comprised 18.9 million

square feet in FY 2002 and consumed 7.2 trillion Btu.

Almost 87 percent of the HHS’s square footage is energy intensive facilities including

laboratories, hospitals, animal centers, health clinics, and other related support space. The

performance measure used for the HHS energy intensive facilities is Btu/GSF. In FY 2002, the

energy consumption of HHS energy intensive facilities declined 10.5 percent compared to FY

1990.

At USDA, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service

(APHIS) facilities energy performance is measured based on Air-Quality-Adjusted Btu/GSF,

which removes the impact of present day requirements for increased laboratory ventilation air

for safety and health reasons. Since 1990, ARS and APHIS have undertaken an extensive

conversion program of systematically modifying space-conditioning systems in its laboratory

facilities to use far less re-circulating air, and more fresh air from outside the building, in order

to protect researchers from the health and safety risks of hazardous chemicals and airborne

pathogens. These requirements have become more stringent and require greater energy use than

the standards that were in place in 1990, the base year of the goal. Removing the effect of the

modernization-related increase results in an decrease of 39.6 percent from the baseline

consumption in FY 1990 based on Air-Quality Adjusted Btu/GSF. Without the adjustment, the

decrease would have been 8.5 percent.

The Department of Justice’s energy intensive facilities are comprised of large data centers, FBI

labs, the FBI headquarters facility, and the training facility in Quantico, Virginia. These facilities

operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year and are not typical office buildings. The

Department of Justice has not developed a baseline for FY 1990 or designated a performance

indicator for these facilities. On a Btu/GSF basis, Justice increased the energy intensity of its

energy intensive facilities by 1.3 percent from 180,979 Btu/GSF in FY 2001 to 183,259 Btu/GSF

in FY 2002.

The Department of the Treasury reports energy consumption for 10.0 million square feet of

industrial space. Approximately 5.6 million square feet of space for the Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) was managed directly by the Treasury under the GSA Buildings Delegation

Program. The reclassification of the IRS Service Centers to this category was completed in FY

2002. The remaining 4.4 million square feet of space belongs to the Bureau of Engraving and
73

Printing, the U.S. Mint, and the U.S. Secret Service. As of FY 2002, Treasury’s industrial

facilities have achieved a 19.5 percent reduction in consumption over their FY 1990 baseline on

a Btu/GSF basis. Treasury reports that the lack of a common unit of production continues to

require the use of the Btu/GSF as their reporting unit and does not appropriately reflect the

improvement some bureaus have made.

Since 1985, the EPA has measured and reported laboratory energy and water consumption using

its standard facility 1985 baseline and reduction requirements. Beginning in FY 2000, EPA

stopped reporting its laboratory energy consumption under the standard facility designation and

is now using the more appropriate energy intensive facility designation. Energy use at EPA

laboratory complexes decreased by 22.1 percent from 357,414 Btu per gross square foot per year

in 1990 to 278,453 Btu per gross square foot per year in 2002. EPA’s energy intensity for FY

2002 was adjusted to reflect purchases of 79.6 billion Btu of renewable electricity.

GSA’s energy usage in its energy intensive facilities during FY 2002 was 271,666 Btu/GSF

compared to 432,313 Btu/GSF in FY 1990. This represents a decrease of 37.2 percent compared

with the 1990 base year. The agency achieved this reduction by directly investing in energy and

water conservation opportunities with paybacks of 10 years or less.

NASA has elected to use Btu/GSF as the agency-wide aggregate performance measure for

energy intensive facilities. Other performance measures are utilized for individual industrial

facilities, space flight tracking stations, and clean rooms. The average energy intensity for

NASA’s energy intensive buildings was 273,333 Btu/GSF by the end of FY 2002, as compared

to the FY 1990 baseline value of 323,971 Btu/GSF. This represents a decrease of 15.6 percent.

The Department of Commerce’s energy intensive facilities are operated by two of its agencies: 

the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NIST installations are comprised of general purpose and

special laboratories that require constant environmental space control and base electrical loads

for scientific equipment and computer systems. NOAA Weather Service facilities operate 24

hours a day and consist of radar towers, computers, special gauges, meters and other

sophisticated equipment. Marine Fisheries and Laboratories conduct marine biology research

and utilize refrigerators, freezers, incubators, coolers, seawater pumps, and compressors that

operate 24 hours a day. During FY 2002, Commerce energy intensive facilities decreased

energy intensity 26.8 percent from FY 1990, from 315,975 Btu/GSF to 231,298 Btu/GSF.

The International Broadcasting Bureau (formerly the U.S. Information Agency) designates

domestic and overseas Voice of America Relay Stations as energy-intensive facilities.

The Social Security Administration, which began reporting energy consumption in 1996 as an

independent agency, has designated its National Computer Center as an energy intensive facility. 

The Center contains SSA’s main database and operates 24 hours per day and 365 days per year.

IV. EXEMPT FACILITIES

A. Energy Consumption and Costs for Exempt Facilities

Sec. 704 of Executive Order 13123 defines “Exempt facility” as “a facility. . .for which an

agency uses DOE-established criteria to determine that compliance with the Energy Policy Act

of 1992 or [the Order] is not practical.” Section 502(b) of Executive Order 13123 requires the

Secretary of Energy, in collaboration with other agency heads, to “establish criteria for

determining which facilities are exempt from the Order. In addition, DOE must provide guidance

for agencies to report proposed exemptions.” This guidance was issued in December 1999. The

following facilities may be exempted from Section 201, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal,

Section 202, Energy Efficiency Improvement Goals for standard buildings and facilities, and the

goals of Section 203, Industrial and Laboratory Facilities of Executive Order 13123:

# Structures such as outside parking garages which consume essentially only lighting

energy, yet are classed as buildings. 

# Buildings where energy usage is skewed significantly due to reasons such as: buildings

entering or leaving the inventory during the year, buildings down-scaled operationally to

prepare for decontamination, decommissioning and disposal, and buildings undergoing

major renovation and/or major asbestos removal. 

# Federal ships that consume “Cold Iron Energy,” (energy used to supply power and heat

to ships docked in port) and airplanes or other vehicles that are supplied with utilityprovided energy.

# Buildings and facilities in which it is technically infeasible to implement energy

efficiency measures or where conventional performance measures are rendered

meaningless by an overwhelming proportion of process-dedicated energy. For these

exemptions, a finding of impracticability must be approved by DOE as outlined in

Section 543(c) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, as amended by the

Energy Policy Act of 1992. For buildings where exemptions are granted, agencies

should undertake energy audits and are strongly encouraged to implement all life-cycle

cost-effective measures per the recommendation of the audit. 
75

Nine agencies, the Departments of Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, State, and

Transportation, NASA, NARA, GSA, and the Tennessee Valley Authority have chosen to

exempt facilities from Executive Order requirements. These facilities are listed in Appendix E. 

In addition, the United States Postal Service has reported electricity consumption used in mail

processing automation under the exempt category without reporting associated facility square

footage. Table 11 presents an accounting of energy use and costs in exempt facilities for FY

2002 and shows what percentage of each agency’s facility energy use, costs, and space is

considered exempt.

Table 12 illustrates total exempt energy consumption and costs by fuel type for FY 2002. 

Energy used in exempt facilities accounts for approximately 2.3 percent of the total 1.0 quads

used by the Federal Government. Electricity constitutes 73.4 percent of the energy used in

exempt facilities, 13.4 percent is accounted for by natural gas, and 7.0 percent by fuel oil. Small

amounts of purchased steam, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/propane, and “other” energy

account for the remaining 6.2 percent.

The energy used in exempt facilities in FY 2002 accounted for approximately 4.3 percent of the

total Federal energy bill. The Federal Government spent approximately $413.7 million for this

category’s energy during the fiscal year. The average cost of exempt facility energy across all

fuels in FY 2002 was $17.17 per million Btu.

Under the Department of Defense, the Navy is the only Military Service to list facilities

classified as exempt. The Navy exempts mission-critical, concentrated energy use transmitters,

simulators, cold iron support to ships, and some privately-owned facilities. These are nonproduction-oriented facilities with little or no square footage, making conventional performance

measures meaningless. (The Department of Defense did not report any square footage for this

category.) The mission criticality of these end users is such that energy efficiency measures are

evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 

Most of the facilities exempted by DOE have been scaled back operationally to prepare for

decontamination and decommissioning. These facilities have traditionally housed energy

intensive operations that will in many cases dominate the energy consumption being reported at

the site and the site consumption will vary in direct relationship to the processes undertaken at

these facilities. Traditional energy conservation measures will not significantly effect the energy

consumption that will be reported for these facilities, and it would be impossible to meet the

goals with these facilities included in other than the exempt category.
77

Within the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration excludes all

buildings involved in implementing the National Airspace System Plan. A sampling survey was

conducted of typical facilities that indicated an overwhelming proportion of process dedicated

energy for National Airspace System electronic and plant support systems. These buildings

house energy-intensive electronic equipment with the associated HVAC requirements to

maintain an environment for reliable equipment operation. The Federal Highway

Administration exempts a research facility that is a mixture of indoor and outdoor laboratories

for testing of various highway systems with heavy process energy use. The St. Lawrence

Seaway Development Corporation exempts energy used to maintain two river locks. The

Maritime Administration exempts cold iron energy for the National Reserve Fleet.

The Tennessee Valley Authority exempts its power plants and associated station service energy

use.

GSA exempts those buildings and facilities where energy usage is skewed significantly due to

reasons such as: buildings entering or leaving the inventory during the year; buildings downscaled operationally to prepare for disposal; buildings undergoing major renovation and/or major

asbestos removal; or buildings functions like that of outside parking garages which consume

essentially only lighting energy, yet are classed as buildings. 

The State Department includes in this category the Harry S. Truman Headquarters Building, the

Potomac Lot, and Building C of the Charleston Regional Center.

NASA exempts 5.0 million square feet of its mission-variable (MV) facilities or 13.1 percent of

its total facility space. These facilities are highly specialized and energy intensive, having been

constructed for specific space flight and research programs. Examples are wind tunnels driven

by multi-thousand horsepower electric motors, space simulation chambers, and space

communication facilities. Energy consumption in these facilities varies directly with the level

and intensity of program activities. NASA provided justifications for each MV facility

exemption to explain why it is either technically infeasible to implement energy efficiency

measures or to apply conventional performance measures due to the overwhelming proportion of

process-dedicated energy consumed in these facilities.

The National Archives and Records Administration exempts all 13 of its facilities, which

preserve, store, and display historical documents and artifacts. These documents and artifacts

are maintained in a controlled environment 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. NARA exempts

these facilities because of the stringent environmental requirements for storage and preservation.

The only exempted facilities at HHS are outdoor multilevel parking garages on the NIH

Bethesda Campus that consume lighting energy only. These facilities are not metered

separately. Therefore, the energy consumption of these structures has been estimated based on

the number of lighting fixtures and the time of use. 

The United States Postal Service energy consumption reported under this category reflects

process energy consumed by mail processing equipment. This consumption has been factored

out of energy consumption of Postal Service standard buildings in order to provide a better

measure of their energy efficiency status.
78

V. ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

A. Energy Consumption and Costs for Vehicles and Equipment

Vehicle and equipment energy consists of energy used by equipment ranging in size and function

from aircraft carriers to forklifts. It includes aircraft and naval fuels, automotive fuels consumed

by Federally-owned and leased vehicles and privately-owned vehicles used for official business,

and the energy used in Federal construction.

Table 13 shows that in FY 2002, the Federal Government used approximately 643.8 trillion Btu

of energy for vehicles and equipment, a decrease of 31.1 percent relative to FY 1985. The

Department of Defense’s vehicle and equipment energy consumption decreased 33.3 percent

from FY 1985, while the civilian agencies increased consumption by 14.5 percent. Overall,

vehicle and equipment consumption increased 9.5 percent from FY 2001. The increase from the

previous year is attributable mainly to increased activity by the Department of Defense, which

saw an increase in mobility fuels of 10.6 percent over FY 2001. Jet fuel consumption increased

13.9 percent from 415.2 trillion Btu in FY 2001 to 472.9 trillion Btu in FY 2002.

Agencies have taken many tangible steps to keep the use of vehicle fuels to a minimum. For

example, the United States Postal Service continues to modernize its fleet, adding diesel delivery

vans and long-life vehicles to its inventory, both of which are more fuel efficient than the older

vehicles they replaced. The Department of Defense continues to increase the use of flight

simulators, as well as the use of new propulsion technologies and strategies in order to lessen the

growth of vehicle and equipment fuel consumption.

Figure 9 depicts the vehicles and equipment fuel mix within DOD and civilian agencies. Jet fuel

accounted for 472.9 trillion Btu or 73.4 percent of the total energy usage in the category, with

19.5 percent attributed to diesel and distillate fuel, 6.5 percent to auto gasoline, and 0.6 percent

to aviation gasoline, navy special, LPG/propane and other fuels, combined. 

As shown in Tables 14-A and 14-B, the Federal Government spent $5,037.5 million on vehicles

and equipment energy in FY 2002, 7.2 percent more than the FY 2001 expenditure of $4,698.5

million constant dollars. In FY 2002, the combined price for all types of vehicles and equipment

energy was $7.82 per million Btu, down 2.1 percent from FY 2001. The average real cost of

gasoline to the Federal Government increased from $1.28 per gallon in FY 2001 to $1.29 in FY

2002. The unit cost for diesel/distillate fuel fell 3.8 percent while the unit cost for jet fuel

decreased 2.4 percent. 

When compared to FY 1985 using constant 2002 dollars, energy costs for vehicles and

equipment decreased 44.7 percent from $9,104.3 million to $5,037.5 million in FY 2002. 

During that same period, the Government’s average cost per million Btu for vehicles and

equipment energy across all fuels fell 19.7 percent from $9.75 to $7.82 in constant dollars. 

Vehicle and equipment fuel costs in FY 2002 represent 51.9 percent of the Government’s total

energy costs of $9.7 billion.

VI. FEDERAL AGENCY ENERGY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

A. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA)

Management and Administration

The designated Senior Energy Official for the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the Assistant

Secretary for Administration (ASA). The ASA has the

authority to implement Federal energy management

policy related to internal operations and to exercise full

agency-wide contracting and procurement authority.

Within the ASA organization, the Office of

Procurement and Property Management (OPPM) has

responsibility for policy, planning, and reporting, and

serves as the primary inter- and intra-Departmental

liaison on energy matters related to the facilities and

internal operations of USDA. The USDA agencies, in

concert with OPPM, are responsible for the

identification of appropriate energy conservation

actions and programming, budgeting, and implementing

Executive Order 13123 requirements and the USDA

Energy Management Plan within their own

organizations.

Management Tools

Awards

USDA participates in the Department of Energy’s

(DOE’s) Federal Energy and Water Management

Awards program and the You Have the Power

awareness program. Agency personnel are encouraged

to submit nominations for these events to recognize

outstanding contributions to energy and water

conservation efforts.

The 2002 USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS)

Energy Champion - “Distinguished Leader” is the

Director of Beltsville Area (BA), ARS, Phyllis E.

Johnson, Ph.D. Dr. Johnson encouraged and fostered

the minimization of energy waste at the ARS facility,

resulting in savings of more than $250,000 annually. 

Individual Departmental agencies conduct their own

emp loyee award and recognition programs as well.

ARS incentive and awards program is utilized in

recognizing and rewarding employees for their energy

saving contributions and is implemented in varying

ways in each ARS geographic area.

Performance Evaluations

ARS is continuing to update position descriptions and

performance standards to incorporate an energy

management performance element for employees

considered critical for the successful implementation of

the ARS energy management and conservation

program.

Training

In FY 2002, OPPM enhanced the USDA Energy and

Environment (E&E) Web site, which was launched the

previous year. E&E uses the Web site’s scrolling news

feature to keep site visitors informed of upcoming

training opportunities. In addition, an “e-mail tree” has

been established to forward information on energy

training to appropriate USDA agency personnel. 

USDA was represented at the Energy 2002 Conference

in Palm Springs, California. E&E staff and several ARS

engineering project managers attended “Laboratories

for the 21st Century” (Labs21) conferences in 2002.

ARS and APHIS have agreed to become partners with

DOE/FEMP and EPA in this initiative.

ARS personnel participated in a variety of training

opportunities throughout the year. At the Beltsville

Agricultural Research Center (BARC), ten employees

received energy management training in FY 2002 at an

expenditure of approximately $8,000. In FY 2002,

BARC established an Energy Conservation Committee

to serve as liaison between management and employees

to facilitate energy conservation throughout BARC. 

Personnel from several Forest Service (FS) Regions

received training in FY 2002, including:

• Region 1 held a Region-wide facilities meeting

where FEMP and the local energy coordinator

discussed energy conservation/energy saving

features in buildings. Approximately 30 people

participated. 

• The Southern Region 8 presented energy

awareness training to approximately 50 engineers

at the forest engineer’s meeting in Biloxi,

Mississippi. This training discussed incorporation

of the latest in energy efficient technologies and

building science related to construction in hot

humid and mixed humid climates. 

Showcase Facilities

In FY 2002, ARS designated facilities at the National

Center for Agriculture Utilization Research (NCAUR),

Peoria, Illinois, as energy showcase facilities. The

design of the ARS renovated complex will include the

opportunity to incorporate a water/energy conservation

showcase exhibit within the complex.

The new laboratory facility in Ames, Iowa, is being

designed to qualify for the Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEEDTM) silver rating, and also

designed in accordance with the Labs21 criteria. 

The Forest Service has designated the Soda Springs

District Office on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest

as a Showcase facility. Exterior walls feature R-27
83

insulation, ceilings have R-44 insulation, windows have

a U-value of 0.32, furnaces feature 90 percent or greater

efficiency, and point-of-use water heaters are used for

all domestic hot water. Air conditioning units are of the

highest available efficiency, and the building uses

daylighting. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, USDA reported a 29.2 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

USDA received credit for purchases of 7.2 billion Btu

of renewable electricity. This lowered the energy

intensity of its standard buildings from 57,673 Btu/GSF

to 57,500 Btu/GSF. USDA continues to strive for

improved reporting while coping with the constraints of

outdated energy data feeder systems. Although USDA

implemented a new energy cost reporting system in FY

2001, which provides energy costs for specific facility

sites, the consumption data often has to be estimated.

Additionally, utility purchases made with the

Government Purchase Card provide no consumption

data. However, more detailed identification of specific

facilities has become available through new real

property reports.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

All of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

(APHIS) and ARS facilities are classified as industrial

and laboratory facilities. For FY 2002, USDA reported

energy consumption of 108,941 Btu/unit in its industrial

facilities, a 39.6 percent reduction compared to FY

1990, almost double the 20 percent reduction target for

FY 2005. This Btu/unit calculation is based on a

combination of unadjusted energy use for APHIS and

adjusted energy use for ARS explained below. 

Performance for the ARS facilities is measured based

on air-quality-adjusted Btu/GSF that removes the

impact of present day requirements for increased

laboratory ventilation air for safety and health reasons.

These requirements have become more stringent and

require greater energy use than the standards that were

in place in 1990, the base year of the goal. 

Based on ARS’s best engineering judgment, laboratory

and research space accounts for more than 90 percent of

ARS’s building energy consumption and the impact of

modifying existing space-conditioning systems to

improve indoor air quality more than doubles the

energy intensity of the buildings affected by the

modernization program. To eliminate the distorting

impact of air-quality improvements, and to allow a

more accurate comparison of current energy use with

the baseline year, annual consumption data is adjusted

accordingly to reflect actual progress of the

modernization program. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy 

USDA agencies strive to select products, materials, and

systems that maximize the use of renewable sources.

Consideration is given to incorporating solar and other

renewable technologies when life-cycle cost effective.

The FS continues to install photovoltaic systems at

remote sites, and uses passive solar to the greatest

extent possible in new facility design/construction.

Recent examples include the installation of

photovoltaics at the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest

(1,000 kilowatthours), Coronado NationalForest (3,000

kilowatthours), Lincoln National Forest (480

kilowatthours), and Tonto National Forest (387,968

kilowatthours). 

The Tongass National Forest operates six alternative

energy systems. Four systems utilize solar panels and

wind turbines and two sites solely use solar panels.

Combined, these systems generate more than 1,500

kilowatthours of power. The use of these systems

eliminates the need for the operation of small

generators in the field, saving about 500 gallons of fuel

annually. Other benefits of these systems are the

reduction of fuel transported to the field and the risk of

ground contamination from spills.

Purchased Renewable Energy

USDA Headquarters entered into an agreement with

PEPCO Services to purchase renewable power,

covering 10 percent of the facility’s electric power.

Seventy-five percent of the renewable power is from

new landfill gas resources and 25 percent is from wind

resources. In FY 2002, this totaled 903 megawatthours

of landfill gas resources and 301 megawatthours of

wind resources.

ARS locations reporting purchases of renewable energy

in FY 2002 included the Southern Plains Area which

purchased 905 megawatthours of renewable electricity.

A location at Kimberly, Idaho, reported hydroelectric

power usage of 650 megawatthours. The National Soil

Tilth Laboratory (NSTL) in Ames, Iowa, uses a

combination of renewable resources and coal.

Petroleum

Since 1985, USDA has reduced its use of petroleumbased fuels in its facilities. In FY 2002, USDA used

676,200 gallons of fuel oil, compared to 886,500

gallons in FY 1985.

In USDA laboratory facilities, fuel oil consumption

decreased from 3.5 million gallons in FY 1985 to

999,000 gallons in FY 2002. ARS continues to pursue

switching to a less greenhouse gas-intensive, nonpetroleum energy source, such as natural gas or

renewable energy sources, and by decreasing
84

unnecessary fuel use through energy efficiency

projects.

Water Conservation 

In FY 2002, USDA used an estimated 1.6 billion

gallons of water in standard buildings and energy

intensive buildings combined. This is a dramatic

increase from FY 2001 reported usage of 951.1 million

gallons that has yet to be programmatically explained

and verified. USDA does not have a departmental

system for tracking water use, and struggles with

reporting for this category.

In FY 2002, ARS water consumption is estimated at

308.3 million gallons totaling $1.2 million. ARS also

lacks information to establish meaningful and reliable

water consumption data. Consumption records for

individual buildings cannot be obtained and data is not

kept for ARS facilities. Many of ARS facilities are colocated with land-grant university agricultural research

facilities. Water usage is variable and mixed among

ARS and University functions. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis 

ARS uses life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis to identify

opportunities for conserving energy and reducing

operating costs and has agency policies and procedures

in place regarding use of LCC analysis for evaluating

energy conservation opportunities and decision making.

USDA’s Headquarters Office of Operations focused its

resources in FY 2002 on continuing the modernization

of the Headquarters South Building, USDA’s major

multi-year renovation project. LCC analysis was used

during the concept/design phases of these projects. 

The FS uses LCC analysis in the decision making and

design of its construction projects. FS Region 3 uses the

“Choosing by Advantages” decision-making process to

select construction projects. 

For the FS North East Research Station, LCC analysis

is always a major factor in making investment decisions

about products, services, construction, and other

projects. LCC analysis was used, along with other

considerations, in the selection of HVAC equipment

and electrical lighting at four of the North East

Laboratory sites. The selection of roofing materials in

three large re-roofing projects was directly influenced

by LCC analysis.

Facility Energy Audits

In FY 2002, energy audits were conducted at the ARS

National Center for Genetic Preservation in Fort

Collins, Colorado. In the ARS South Atlantic Area,

energy conservation reports were completed for

facilities in Athens and Watkinsville, Georgia. A

facility in Lane, Oklahoma, was also audited during the

year.

The FS had energy audits at the Lolo National Forest,

the Ninemile Ranger Station/Remount Depot, and the

Seeley Lake Ranger Station, which led to retrofitting

light fixtures and other measures. The FS also

completed a desk audit of energy usage for the past five

years at all sites. The Lewis and Clark National Forest

conducted inspections, including energy audits, of 40 of

its Fire Administrative and Other facilities and 25

recreation toilets. All North East facilities received

partial energy audits during FY 2002, resulting in

implementation of a variety of energy saving projects.

Financing Mechanisms

USDA did not enter into any new energy savings

performance contracts (ESPCs) in FY 2002, however,

USDA agencies continue to receive annual benefits in

reduced energy usage from previously awarded ESPCs

and utility energy services contracts (UESCs). The

E&E staff continue to encourage USDA agencies to

take advantage of this financing mechanism to

implement more energy saving projects.

In January 2002, APHIS awarded a $1.2 million UESC

contract to the Hawaii Electric Company for detailed

design and concept design phases of the renovation of

the Hawaii Sterile Fruit Fly Facility in Waimanalo,

Hawaii. The full project was projected to be a $20

million renovation that would incorporate significant

energy and water savings. However, only an estimated

$500,000 was expended before it was determined that

the project had outgrown UESC guidelines. The UESC

was terminated and a different financing mechanism

will be used for the remainder of the project. The

design work done under the UESC will be used in the

implementation of the full project. 

ARS’ South Atlantic Area (SAA) has a 10-year

agreement with Gainesville Regional Utilities for

electrical discounts that realized a total savings of more

than $31,000 in FY 2002.

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products 

USDA continues its acquisition policy of buying

computer equipment and other products that meet

ENERGY STAR® requirements. ARS purchases of

equipment through operations and maintenance

contracts are being monitored to ensure that they meet

ENERGY STAR®

 requirements. The FS is promoting the

purchase of ENERGY STAR® products and products that

are in the upper 25 percent of energy efficiency. The FS

North East Station has incorporated energy efficiency

criteria into all guide specifications and product

specifications developed for new construction and

renovation.Energy efficiency is also a consideration for

the purchase of new equipment.
85

The ARS, Beltsville Area, has a policy to replace

approximately 25 percent of its computers annually.

Procurement agents are instructed to purchase ENERGY

STA R ®-computer equipment. Additionally, all

laboratory equipment purchases are reviewed for

energy efficiency ratings.

ARS facilities in Lincoln, Nebraska, use GSA

Advantage as a resource for equipment purchases. GSA

Advantage has search engines that include ENERGY

STAR®

 and energy-efficient products. This resource is

utilized to assist cardholders in the purchase of

equipment that is energy efficient. Plans for FY 2003

will help promote these purchases by including an

energy statement on request for quotations when

seeking bids from vendors for equipment. 

ENERGY STAR®

 Buildings

The Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory in

Madison, Wisconsin , R esearch Dem o

House/Laboratory was awarded the ENERGY STAR®

label, and is certified as a Green Built House. The

design and construction incorporated environmentally

sensitive practices, reducing pollutants, and improving

indoor air quality, while conserving water, energy, and

other natural resources. Many of the materials are

produced from recycled products. 

Sustainable Building Design

Appropriate sustainable design considerations have

been and will continue to be given in the siting, design,

and construction of new ARS facilities. These

principles have been incorporated in the ARS’ facilities

design standards manual. 

At the FS North East Station, sustainable building

design principles are incorporated into all aspects of

construction of new facilities and, where feasible, into

existing facility reconstruction/renovation projects. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

USDA agencies have leasing authority and continue to

address energy and environmental issues in lease

solicitations. FS-Region 4 is utilizing GSA guidelines

for energy conservation in all new leases. Region 8 also

utilizes energy efficiency as a factor in evaluating lease

proposals.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

As part of the agen cy’s ongo ing fa cilities

modernization and repair and maintenance program

effort, ARS invested more than $2.5 million in building

energy conservation/efficiency improvement projects

during FY 2002. ARS activities in FY 2002 included:

• The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center

(BARC) utilized biodiesel products in its steam

generation plants, emergency generators, and

vehicle fleet. Lower natural gas rates were realized

as a result of the ability to switch fuels at the boiler

plants from natural gas to biodiesel as needed. 

• At the ARS National Center for Agriculture

Utilization Research (NCAUR), facility

renovations were completed in March 2002. This

project included switching to variable speed

systems that control speed based on demand for

cooling and upgrading lighting fixtures. A 150 HP

boiler was placed online to supply steam during the

warmest months and to turn off a 300 HP boiler.

NCAUR also purchased an infra-red camera that

allows maintenance personnel to identify and

correct maintenance problems, reducing both

electrical and gas consumption. 

• In the Pacific West Area, ARS facilities in Albany,

California, implemented reduced summer hours (4

hours/day) of high pressure steam operation,

reducing gas consumption by one-third for 6

months with substantial reduction in cost. Motion

sensors were also installed in common areas,

reducing electrical usage. Facilities in Riverside,

California; Kimberly, Idaho; and Dubois, Idaho;

also reported implementing significant facility

efficiency improvements in FY 2002. 

• The Plant Introduction Station in Pullman,

Washington, purchased Argus Controls for 12 of

the 18 greenhouse bays maintained at Washington

State University. Argus is a computer controlled

system built for greenhouse operation. The system

enhances control and data retrieval from each

greenhouse bay. The facility now stages daytime

heating of greenhouses in conjunction with

morning sunlight to take advantage of solar heating

to bring greenhouses up to daytime temperature.

Argus also anticipates incoming heat units through

light measurements taken from information

gathered by its outdoor weather station. This
86

information is used in energy equations to avoid

overshooting the set daytime temperature for each

bay. 

The Station also installed horizontal airflow fans

(HAF) to maintain even temperatures throughout

eight bays. Updates with Argus and the HAF

systems have resulted in a noticeable decrease in

heating and cooling equipment operation as well as

more comfortable and efficient greenhouses.

Highly Efficient Systems

In the North East Station, combined heat and power

systems were designed and installed at the

Morgantown, West Virginia, laboratory/office at a cost

of more than $260,000. At a facility in Parsons, West

Virginia, a boiler system replacement was installed for

$27,000.

In the ARS Pacific West Area (PWA), the Land

Management and Water Conservation unit in Pullman,

Washington, upgraded a furnace that increased heating

efficiency from 60 percent to 92 percent, and installed

a programmable thermostat in one of the shops to

regulate unnecessary heating of the building. 

Off-Grid Generation

ARS continues its practice of considering off-grid

electricity opportunities that provide energy and

environmental benefits when life-cycle cost-effective.

For example, at Athens, Georgia, during generator

replacement, peak shaving was studied at length using

natural gas generators, but it was determined that the

increased cost of the equipment would not pay off

during the equipment’s life expectancy.

A facility in Bushland, Texas, operated five utility

connected-wind machines, providing power to local

irrigation pumping and sold the excess to the utility.

The FS reported that the alternative energy system on

the Nakwasina Barge Housing Facility in the Tongass

National Forest is composed of a 1,024 watt solar array,

diesel generator, DC/AC inverter, and battery bank,

which provides 24-hour power. This system replaced an

all generator system that also operated 24 hours per

day. The system reduced fuel consumption by about 80

percent. Annual savings are approximately $8,000.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

ARS locations continue to pursue and implement

electrical load reduction measures. The BARC joined

with PEPCO in an Energy Reduction Plan designed to

limit electricity use during non-occupied periods. As a

result of this on-going initiative, BARC realized a 2

percent cost savings, or approximately $49,000 in FY

2002.

The National Center for Genetic Resources

Preservation in Fort Collins, Colorado, turned off half

of the lights in many areas and initiated an energy audit

of the entire facility lighting system. Cost recovery is

1.78 years based on a five-year summary. The facility

also initiated a power usage watch for peak load,

installed a “hot shot” signal device from the supplier

alerting them when peak power loads are approaching,

and upgraded the facility’s control system to step off

highest load equipment as peak loads approach to avoid

peak charges.

At the ARS facilities in Athens, Georgia, electrical load

reduction measures include:

• Prioritization of energy use so that emergency

power and electrical loads can be dropped or

power supplemented by the emergency generator;

• Enhanced communications with the local utility

company to better understand their needs for load

reductions during peak times; 

• Identification of load reduction measures

appropriate for the facility;

• A system to alert employees of expected high

demand days via e-mail, voice mail, or public

bulletin boards; and,

• Encouragement to employees to take steps to

reduce the use of lighting, personal computers,

and appliances.

The National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa,

completed co-generation and standby systems in FY

2001 under an ESPC. The systems provide the Center

with full capability to operate stand-alone from the

electric utility, and can also be operated to reduce the

electrical load to the utility system.

During the summer of FY 2002, the Office of

Operations participated in reducing electric loads at the

USDA Headquarters Complex at the request of the

local power company, PEPCO, although there were no

power emergencies. 

Water Conservation 

ARS has been and will continue to conserve water in its

operations. The BARC has drastically reduced its boiler

plant feed water load on a continual basis as a result of

a program that utilizes effluent from its wastewater

treatment plant. This initiative saves approximately

$40,000 per year in water purchases. Other actions

undertaken to conserve water include: installation of

automatic sprinklers in greenhouses; recycling effluent

water for use in steam production; installation of an

automated irrigation control system in its research

fields; and installation of water treatment equipment to

boilers, reducing the number of blow-downs needed to

adequately maintain the system.
87

ARS facilities in Leetown, West Virginia, modified

water piping at the aqua cultural center to re-circulate

water during drought conditions. At Mandan, North

Dakota, a new water pumping system for the entire

location was installed at a cost of about $23,000 in FY

2002.

Facilities in Fort Pierce, Florida, installed a ground

irrigation system which uses surface water collected in

retention ponds. The building was designed and built

with low water use fixtures wherever possible. At Canal

Point, Florida, water for greenhouses is obtained from

a well and crops are watered from irrigation ditches.

A trickle irrigation system designed to reduce water

usage has been installed in an 1,800 square foot

greenhouse at the PIS in Ames, Iowa. Water

conservation activities at NSTL, include the removal of

existing chilled water circulation system backups that

utilize domestic water when campus chilled water fails.

Other activities include a study of the Water

Management Plans and Best Management Practices to

determine an appropriate implementation plan at NSTL.

B. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Management and Administration

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) has an

Administrative Order which prescribes policies, assigns

responsibility, and provides program guidelines for

energy and water management. Responsibility for

energy and water management in Commerce facilities

include the Headquarters, Herbert C. Hoover Building,

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

(NOAA), National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST), National Technical Information

Service, and the Bureau of the Census.

The Senior Official for the Commerce energy team is 

the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for

Administration. The senior official participates at the

Interagency Energy Policy Committee meetings and

ensures all actions under the Strategic Implementation

Plan for Energy Management are accomplished to meet

Federal energy goals. 

Management Tools 

Awards 

Each Commerce bureau takes advantage of its own

incentive programs to reward its exceptional

employees. In addition, Commerce actively participates in the You Have the Power and the Federal

Energy and Water Management Awards programs.

Performance Evaluations 

Key Department and Bureau energy managers have

energy efficiency elements in their position descriptions

and performance evaluations. An energy reduction goal

has been a part of the performance criteria for senior

management officials for several years. 

Training

Commerce recognizes that access to job-related training

is important for employee job performance. The energy

team is attempting to ensure that facility energy

management personnel are aware of appropriate

training opportunities as they arise. In some cases, basic

energy management training is provided informally by

Bureau energy management staff. 

Showcase Facilities

The design for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries

Service Honolulu Laboratory was designated as a

Federal Energy Saver Showcase facility in FY 2002.

This redesign of an existing research laboratory makes

use of low-energy building design strategies, energyefficient technologies, and renewable energy. The

project team’s goal was to attain a U.S. Green Building

Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEEDTM) gold level rating for the facility

through the use of such strategies as natural

daylighting, solar water heating, liquid desiccant

dehumidification, occupancy sensors, and a new

building management system. 

NOAA has also internally designated the Weather

Forecasting Station in Caribou, Maine, as a showcase

facility. This facility has incorporated the LEEDTM

design guidance by including energy and water

efficiency and other sustainable design features.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, Commerce reported a 35.5 percent

decrease in energy consumption from FY 1985 for its

standard buildings when measured in Btu per gross

square foot. Commerce received credit for purchases of

6.9 billion Btu of renewable electricity. This lowered

the energy intensity of its standard buildings from

78,228 Btu/GSF to 77,016 Btu/GSF. Some energy

consumption data is estimated based on previous

energy audit reports. 

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities 

Energy use for energy intensive buildings was 315,975

Btu per gross square foot for FY 1990 and 231,299 Btu

per gross square foot for FY 2002. This is a 27 percent

reduction compared to FY 1990, and a 7 percent

reduction compared to FY 2001. Some energy

consumption data is estimated based on previous

energy audit reports. 

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use 

Commerce has developed a strategy for meeting and

maintaining the requirement that 75 percent of all

eligible vehicle acquisitions be alternative fuel vehicles.

Commerce also strives to meet Executive Order 13149,

Greening the Government Through Federal Fleet and

Transportation Efficiency, requirement by replacing

light-duty trucks with sedans and minivans, and fourwheel-drive vehicles with two-wheel drive vehicles,

where feasible.

Renewable Energy 

During recent years, Commerce and its Bureaus have

considered various opportunities for using renewable

energy sources. 

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

Small-scale projects that use renewable sources or

renewable energy thermal projects continue to be

implemented at Commerce whenever possible. During

FY 2002, NOAA repaired and reinstalled a 10-kilowatt

photovoltaic unit in American Samoa. 

This system was fully operational in FY 2002. NIST

began operating its newly-installed 33-kilowatt

photovoltaic array on the roof of the Administration
89

Building at its Gaithersburg, Maryland, facility in

November 2001. NOAA has also installed a 10-

kilowatt photovoltaic system in San Diego, California,

with assistance from DOE. The system became

operational in FY 2003.

Purchased Renewable Energy 

NIST is currently purchasing wind-generated renewable

power to supply a portion of the electrical needs at

facilities in Boulder, Colorado. In FY 2002, this site

consumed 882 megawatthours of purchased renewable

energy. NOAA is also purchasing wind-generated

renewable power to supply a portion of the electrical

needs of facilities in Boulder, Colorado. In FY 2002,

this site consumed 1,129 megawatthours of purchased

renewable energy. 

Petroleum 

Consumption of petroleum-based fuels in Commerce

buildings in FY 1985 was 130.3 billion Btu. In FY

2002, this was reduced to 32.1 billion Btu, a 75 percent

reduction since FY 1985. 

Water Conservation

Commerce’s FY 2002 water consumption was 429.6

million gallons, at a cost of more than $870,000, not

including the Herbert C. Hoover Building in

Washington, D.C. The General Services Administration

(GSA) has retained responsibility for the water and

sewer systems at this facility.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Commerce Bureaus employ life-cycle cost analysis as

an integral part of making investment decisions in

products, services, construction, and other projects to

lower the Federal Government’s costs and to reduce

energy and water consumption.

Facility Energy Audits

NIST completed an audit of 79 percent of the square

footage at its Gaithersburg, Maryland, campus in

conjunction with its energy savings performance

contract (ESPC) project. This facility has been

completely audited since 1992. NIST’s Boulder,

Colorado, campus is scheduled to be audited in FY

2003 as part of a planned ESPC project.

NOAA conducted seven energy audits in FY 2002,

representing 10 percent of total NOAA facility square

footage. By the end of FY 2002, NOAA had completed

energy audits of 50 percent of total NOAA facility

square footage. 

Financing Mechanisms

In FY 2002, Commerce requested $1.2 million for the

performance of energy audits and implementation of

energy conservation measures and received $400,000.

The FY 2003 funding request was $1.4 million. To

compensate for the lack of energy project funding,

NIST continued to develop a campus-wide ESPC

project for its Gaithersburg, Maryland, facility. Award

of the contract was expected in early-FY 2003. NIST

has also laid the groundwork to begin developing an

ESPC project for its Boulder, Colorado, facility in FY

2003. NOAA has a utility energy service contract

(UESC) with the Bonneville Power Administration.

Using GSA’s area-wide contract, the NOAA Sand Point

facility in Seattle, Washington, signed a contract to

replace inefficient lights and its outdated HVAC

systems with energy-efficient systems. 

ENERGY STAR®

 and Other Energy-Efficient Products

Commerce supports the use of ENERGY STAR® and

other energy-efficient products. Information on the

availability and benefits of purchasing ENERGY STAR®

products has been distributed to the appropriate

functional managers and their contracting officers.

ENERGY STAR® Buildings

Commerce has elected to use the U.S. Green Building

Council’s LEEDTM criteria instead of the ENERGY

STAR®

 building criteria.

Sustainable Building Design

Commerce is a strong supporter of sustainable building

design. Most new buildings and major renovations

target a LEEDTM silver rating. NOAA has adopted

sustainable building design principles developed under

the LEEDTM certification program that are being

incorporated into the siting, design, and construction of

new facilities. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions 

Energy and water efficiency are considered along with

other factors when entering into new leases or

renegotiating/extending existing leases. GSA leasing

guidance is followed for buildings leased by and for

Commerce.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

NOAA is researching the possibility of using a heat

recovery system for fishery water. No suitable

replacement systems had been identified by the end of

FY 2002. In prior years, NIST made significant

improvements in its boiler and chiller operations at its

Gaithersburg, Maryland, facility and is now

concentrating efforts on reducing water consumption.

NIST installed a dry pre-cooler on a reactor cooling

system in FY 2002, and is exploring the use of nonpotable water to replace city water in once-through

cooling systems. 

Highly Efficient Systems

Geothermal heat pumps are being considered for

retrofit use in all NOAA facilities, and are being

specified in construction contracts where appropriate.
90

Off-Grid Generation

NOAA has reinstalled a 10-kilowatt photovoltaic unit

in American Samoa and NOAA also installed a 10-

kilowatt photovoltaic system in San Diego, California,

with assistance from DOE. NIST began operating a 33

kilowatt photovoltaic array at its Gaithersburg,

Maryland, facility in November 2001. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

NOAA facility managers coordinate participation with

local utility companies to reduce electricity load during

power emergencies. At NOAA’s facility in Miami,

Florida, a thermal storage system is planned for

electricity load reduction during peak hours.

C. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD)

Management and Administration

In the Department of Defense (DOD), the facilities

energy program is decentralized, with Defense

Component headquarters providing guidance and

funding, and installations managing site-specific energy

and water conservation programs. Energy project

funding comes from a combination of Government and

alternative financing initiatives. Military installations

are responsible for maintaining awareness, developing

and implementing projects, and ensuring that new

construction meets sustainable design criteria.

The Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense

(Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) is the DOD

Senior Agency Official responsible for meeting the

goals of Executive Order 13123. The existing DOD

Installations Policy Board (IPB), chaired by the Deputy

Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and

Environment) and chartered to address a broad

spectrum of installation issues, has been designated as

the DOD agency energy team. The membership of the

IPB contains the cross-section of DOD senior

leadership necessary to make decisions needed to

remove obstacles hindering compliance with Executive

Order 13123.

Management Tools

Awards 

Energy conservation awards are presented to

individuals, organizations, and installations in

recognition of their energy-savings efforts. In October

2002, the Department of the Navy held its annual

Secretary of the Navy awards ceremony in Washington,

D.C. The Under Secretary of the Navy presented eight

awards to Navy and Marine Corps winners in the

categories of facilities, ships, and air squadrons. In July

2002, Active Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army

National Guard commands were presented with the

Secretary of the Army’s Energy and Water

Management Awards for FY 2001 accomplishments in

energy management. Air Force Major Commands have

annual energy award programs that distribute funds to

their base winners. 

The Services also participate in the Federal Energy and

Water Management Awards Program. For FY 2002,

DOD received 31 of the 54 awards. In addition, the

White House recognized DOD with three Presidential

Awards for Leadership in Federal Energy Management.

The Army National Cancer Institute/Garrison at Fort

Detrick was presented the “Award for Results” for

energy savings exceeding $60 million under their

Partnership for Energy Performance program. The

award for “Outstanding Energy Management” was

presented to the Navy Shipboard Energy Conservation

Team for its efforts to deliver substantial cost and

pollution avoidance, and more available fuel for

increased steaming hours and ship endurance range.

The Pentagon Renovation Office received the

“Outreach Award” for its projects that are Federal

showcases for sustainable design, environmental

protection, energy conservation, and transportation

alternatives. 

Additionally, the Defense Commissary Agency

(DeCA), the National Imagery and Mapping Agency

(NIMA), Washington Headquarters Service (WHS),

and the National Security Agency (NSA) present

on-the-spot awards and incentive awards to recognize

exceptional performance and participation in the energy

management program.

Performance Evaluations

Energy and water management provisions are included

in performance plans of the DOD Energy Chain of

Command, including major command, base, and site

energy managers. To ensure the inclusion of

management provisions, the Army conducts scheduled

assistance visits to installations. 

Training

Awareness and training programs are a critical part of

DOD’s efforts to achieve and sustain energy-efficient

operations at the installation level. In FY 2002, a total

of 2,175 personnel were trained through commercially

available or in-house technical courses, seminars,

conferences, software, videos, and certifications. The

U.S. Army Logistics Integration Agency (USALIA),

Naval Civil Engineer Corps Officer School (CECOS),

Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Civil

Engineering School, Air Force Civil Engineer Support

Agency (AFCESA), and DeCA sponsored in-house

courses, workshops and seminars. Certified Energy

Manager training was provided by Association of

Energy Engineers instructors. The Services held

installation energy management conferences and DOD

personnel attended the Energy 2002 Workshop in Palm

Springs, California. DOD was a co-sponsor of Energy

2002, along with DOE and GSA, with WHS an active

participant on the planning committees for both Energy

2002 and Energy 2003. 

Showcase Facilities

DOD continues to be a leader in DOE-designated

showcase facilities demonstrating new and innovative

energy saving technologies. Nine outstanding Federal

facilities received the designation of Federal Energy

Saver Showcases in 2002:
92

• Arizona Army National Guard EcoBuilding,

Phoenix, Arizona;

• Building 110 at Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet,

New York; 

• Cleland Multipurpose Sports Complex, Fort Bragg,

North Carolina;

• Parking Complex Naval Air Station (NAS) North

Island, California;

• Family Housing, Marine Corps Air Station

(MCAS) Beaufort, South Carolina;

• Naval Medical Center, San Diego, California;

• Hangars 450, 452, 454, and 456, Columbus AFB,

Ohio;

• Administration Building, Hill Air Force Base

(AFB), Utah; and,

• Family Housing, Charleston AFB, South Carolina.

Continuing Showcase facilities include the Pentagon

Building, Washington D.C., the Naval Base Ventura

County, California, and the U.S. Naval Academy,

Maryland. A recent Public Broadcasting System

documentary was made to publicize the sustainable

development features of the public works showcase

facility at Naval Base Ventura County. The facility also

won an award from the American Institute of Architects

and was featured at a recent Green Building Council

symposium.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, DOD reported a 25.7 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

DOD received credit for purchases of 1.5 trillion Btu or

renewable electricity. This lowered the energy intensity

of its standard buildings from 102,371 Btu/GSF to

101,613 Btu/GSF. DOD’s target goal for FY 2002 was

a 25.5 percent reduction relative to the 1985 baseline.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

After applying renewable energy purchase credits of

331 million Btu, energy consumption in DOD’s energy

intensive facilities was 167,138 Btu per gross square

foot, a 21.7 percent reduction as compared to the 1990

baseline energy use of 213,349 Btu per gross square

foot. This is a 1.7 percent reduction as compared to the

FY 2001 energy consumption. 

DOD considers an entire base an industrial facility if 60

percent or more of the base-wide energy use is for

industrial purposes. 

Exempt Facilities

The Navy is the only component in DOD to list

facilities classified as exempt. Navy exempts mission

critical, concentrated energy use transmitters,

simulators, cold iron support to ships, and some private

party facilities. These are non-production-oriented

facilities with little or no square footage, making

conventional performance measures unsuitable. The

mission critical activities of these end users is such that

energy efficiency measures are evaluated on a

case-by-case basis. 

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

DOD’s total tactical vehicle fuel usage was 581.7

trillion Btu in FY 2002, increasing 9.8 percent from FY

2001. This usage is attributed to mission surges

increasing jet fuel consumption, which increased 12.4

percent from FY 2001 . New missions and surges in

operations will continue to drive jet and motor vehicle

fuel consumption. These factors are not considered in

the petroleum reduction goals of Executive Order

13149, Greening the Government Through Federal

Fleet and Transportation Efficiency. However, DOD

continues to make steady progress toward meeting the

requirements of Executive Order 13149, despite

obstacles such as the availability of suitable alternative

fuel vehicles (AFV) models and the availability of

adequate alternative fuel infrastructure. 

For FY 2002, the Services reported the acquisition of

5,422 AFVs and 648 additional Energy Policy Act

(EPAct) credits for dedicated AFVs and biodiesel use.

The acquisitions and the credits resulted in a DOD

compliance rate of 67 percent—a 13 percent increase

over 2001. Use of biofuels, especially biodiesel, will

have a significant positive impact on DOD’s acquisition

rate and petroleum consumption for FY 2003. 

The Navy and Marine Corps acquired 1,637 AFVs.

With additional credits for dedicated AFVs and

biodiesel use, the Navy had a 68 percent AFV

acquisition rate and the Marine Corps had a

“Government best” rate of 182 percent. 

The Army has acquired 2,843 AFVs, which is 60

percent of the 4,777 vehicles that are subject to EPAct

and expects to meet the 75 percent goal in FY 2003

through the lease of more than 3,000 vehicles with

extensive additional biodiesel credits. The Army has

installed both biodiesel and E-85 fuel tanks at Fort

Leonard Wood, Missouri, and will continue to look for

opportunities to develop alternative fuel infrastructure.
93

The Air Force was unable to meet the 75 percent AFV

acquisition requirement for 1,104 vehicles, but did

acquire 60 percent, or 931 AFV credits, and established

the groundwork for future success. Projections indicate

that the 75 percent requirement will be exceeded in FY

2003 (81 percent) and FY 2004. 

A DOD AFV working group was created, allowing all

DOD fleet agencies to develop a short- and long-term

strategy. Principal to this was the participation of the

Defense Energy Support Agency, Army Air Force

Exchange Service (AAFES), and Navy Exchange

Service (NEX). The teaming effort of this working

group has resulted in gaining industry support for

building AFV infrastructure and other alternatives. 

Renewable Energy

DOD continues to install renewable energy

technologies and purchase electricity generated from

renewable sources when life-cycle cost effective. The

Army has approximately 3,800 solar roofs in use at its

installations, and has requested assistance from DOE’s

Sandia National Laboratory to bring existing inoperable

photovoltaic systems back to operational status. DOD

anticipates more growth in the implementation of

renewable energy and active solar technologies due to

the recently implemented Sustainable Design and

Development Guidance. However, since DOD policy is

to privatize utility systems whenever economical,

power generation systems will genera lly be

contractor-owned or loc ated at remote, grid

independent sites. 

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

DOD has integrated photovoltaic power systems, solar

water heating systems, and transpired solar collectors

(solar walls) into its facilities. Self-generated power is

often coupled with ground source heat pumps, solar

water heating systems, and photovoltaic arrays to

generate electricity at isolated locations, such as range

targets, airfield landing strip lighting, and remote water

pumping stations. Active solar heating applications

have included maintenance facility solar walls,

swimming pool heating, and hot water heating. In FY

2002, DOD generated an estimated 68,493

megawatthours in self-generated electrical power, 420

billion Btu in thermal energy, 2.1 million Btu of energy

from biomass, and 1,829 billion Btu in power generated

from refuses derived fuel and wood. 

Many self-generating renewable energy projects were

installed and brought online during FY 2002, including:

• Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, installed 650 solar

heating units in Army Family Housing and at the

Wheeler Fire Station. 

• Fort Huachuca, Arizona, installed a new prototype

Dish/Stirling solar thermal electric generator. 

• Arizona National Guard installed three 200-

kilowatt fuel cells and a 12-kilowatt photovoltaic

array in Northern Arizona. MAGTFTC 29 Palms,

California, awarded a 1-megawatt photovoltaic

system which will be the largest Federal

photovoltaic system to date. 

• Pentagon, Virginia, awarded contracts for an

additional 70-kilowatt photovoltaic array; a

solar-powered guard shack, an inspection station

supplied by approximately 400 square feet of solar

thermal tile, and a 75.6-kilowatt solar thermal hot

water installation using evacuated tube technology.

The Naval Air Weapons Center, China Lake,

California, facilitates the production of 180 megawatts

of electricity from its geothermal energy resources. This

facility has fed more than 18,000 gigawatthours of

electricity into the western power grid since its

inception, equivalent to saving approximately 4.2

million barrels of oil. Future expansion of this plant is

being evaluated, as well as construction of a new

geothermal power plant at NAS Fallon, Nevada. The

Army is developing portable photovoltaic technology to

serve as the primary power source of a battalion-size

Tactical Operations Center (TOC). The current units

under field test will meet 80 percent of the TOC’s

power requirements. The units are tactically quiet,

reduce the logistic footprint, and prevent pollution. The

USAF Academy, Colorado, generated and captured 2.1

million cubic feet of digester gas onsite that was used

in lieu of natural gas to fire a process hot water boiler

for the Waste Water Treatment Plant. At approximately

1,000 Btu per cubic foot, this on-site biomass energy

application replaced 2,126 million Btu of fossil-derived

fuel use while simultaneously reducing environmental

emissions. 

Purchased Renewable Energy

In FY 2002 DOD purchased 253,098 megawatthours

(864 billion Btu equivalent) of renewable electricity

and 664 billion Btu of renewable thermal energy. Of

this amount, 1,197 billion Btu was credited to standard

buildings and 331 billion Btu was credited to industrial

and laboratory facilities when determining the

consumption per gross square rates. The Army has

entered into a contract with Washington Gas Energy

Services to purchase 5 million kilowatthours of wind

power and 14 million kilowatthours of landfill gas

annually through December 2004. The wind farm will

deliver 5 million kilowatthours of renewable power

annually to Walter Reed Army Medical Center,

Maryland, Adelphi Laboratories, and Fort McNair,

D.C., beginning in FY 2003. Lackland AFB, Texas,
94

purchased wind-generated renewable electricity from

San Antonio City Public Service. The base received

$54,000 for the first year of the renewable energy

source project, part of a five-year, $500,000 program

included in the FY 2002 Defense Appropriation Bill.

The base purchased approximately 1,8 0 0

megawatthours of wind-generated electricity in FY

2002.

Petroleum

Petroleum-based fuel use in DOD facilities decreased

65.3 percent in FY 2002 from the FY 1985 baseline.

Facility consumption was 101.4 trillion Btu in FY 1985

(buildings/facilities and excluded buildings/industrial/)

and 35.1 trillion Btu in FY 2002 (standard

buildings/facilities, industrial/ laboratory/research/other

energy-intensive facilities, and exempt facilities). Fuel

oil use increased in FY 2001 from previous years as

installations switched from natural gas to less expensive

fuel oil. The price of natural gas has stabilized and

installations have switched back to natural gas in FY

2002. Further reductions were accomplished primarily

through boiler plant de-centralization, boiler plant

tune-ups and improved controls, and steam trap

replacements. A significant factor in this reduction was

Defense Energy Support Center’s (DESC) Natural Gas

Competitive Procurement Program. The objective of

this program is to obtain a cost-effective supply of

natural gas for DOD installations while maintaining

supply reliability. In FY 2002, DESC competitively

procured 44.5 trillion Btu of natural gas for the 180

DOD installations that participated in the program

(approximately 56 percent of the DOD total annual

natural gas consumption) and achieved more than $28.3

million in cost avoidance. Fuel oil use in facilities

decreased 6.7 trillion Btu compared to FY 2001, while

natural gas consumption increased 1.2 trillion Btu. 

Water Conservation

In FY 2002, DOD consumed 160.6 billion gallons of

potable water and spent $292 million on water related

services. Water consumption was 7.3 percent less than

the FY 2000 baseline year, reported as 173,261 million

gallons. 

In FY 2002, DOD Components concentrated on water

conservation methods such as early leak detection and

repair, installation of low-flow water-efficient fixtures

in housing and administration buildings, and public

awareness programs. For instance, the Marine Corps

continues to audit installations for water projects. Since

1997, these audits have identified more than $15

million in projects and completed repairs saving more

than 487 million gallons in water leaks. The Navy

implemented a range of projects from replacing a once

through cooling system at the Naval Shipyard

Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with a recycling cooling

tower to replacing all the inefficient plumbing fixtures

at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with high

efficiency fixtures. The Navy is making water

conservation a standard feature in most alternatively

financed projects, bundling those savings with other

infrastructure improvements to maximize the benefits.

During the last two years, WHS has been working with

the various municipalities to improve the accuracy of

the water metering in the Pentagon including meter

calibration, certification, and the installation of an

automated meter reading system. Water-efficient

plumbing fixtures and infrared controllers are included

in the Pentagon renovation.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

DOD facilities utilize life-cycle cost analysis in making

decisions about their investment in products, services,

construction, and other projects to lower costs and to

reduce energy and water consumption. DOD considers

the life-cycle costs of combining projects, and

encourages bundling of energy efficiency projects with

renewable energy projects, where appropriate. Projects

are generally prioritized for capital funding and

execution is based upon the greatest life-cycle savings

to investment ratio. The use of passive solar design and

active solar technologies are recommended where

cost-effective during the life of the project. Sustainable

development projects use life-cycle costing

methodology and follow the Whole Building Design

Guide. For example, the Air Force used life-cycle

analysis for a $1.22 million waste heat recovery project

at Thule AFB, Greenland, and a $19 million Military

family housing replacement program at the USAF

Academy, Colorado. 

Facility Energy Audits

DOD conducted comprehensive audits on 130.5 million

square feet, 10.1 percent of facility square footage, in

FY 2002. Since 1992, comprehensive audits were

completed on a total of 1.1 billion square feet, or 79

percent of facility square footage. Some audits were

repeat audits, several years apart, or investigations into

additional conservation measures not cost effective

previously. Components obtain audits as part of

alternative-financed energy savings projects whenever

feasible. 

Financing Mechanisms

In FY 2002, DOD Components awarded 41 utility

energy service contracts (UESCs) and 32 energy

service performance contracts (ESPCs) producing an

estimated total life-cycle savings of $837 million and an

annual energy savings of 2.1 trillion Btu. These

contracts include many infrastructure upgrades and new

equipment to help the installations reduce energy and
95

water consumption. Examples include new thermal

storage systems, chillers, boilers, lights, motors, peak

shaving, Energy Monitoring and Control Systems, and

water reducing devices. Of the $837 million estimated

total life-cycle savings, the contractors’ share will be

$719 million (including interest charges which on

average increase the project cost by a factor of 2.4

above the initial investment cost). Normally, cost

savings are used to first pay the contractor, and then are

used to offset other base operating support expenses. In

most cases, installations decide to seek a shorter

contract term and defer all Government cost savings

until after contract completion. In these cases, the

savings generated by UESCs and ESPCs help to reduce

the energy consumption, but do not reduce the total

costs of operation until the contracts expire. After

contract expiration and the retrofits are paid for, DOD

will be able to obtain full cost savings. 

In FY 2002, DOD installations utilized ESPC

contracting vehicles from DOE (3), Naval Facilities

Engineering Command (NAVFAC) (1), Huntsville

Engineering and Support Center (8), Air Force Civil

Engineer Support Activity (AFCESA) (12), and

Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) (2). Six

installations/ major commands awarded their own

internally developed ESPCs. 

In recent years, Congress has shown an upward trend in

appropriating funding for DOD’s Energy Conservation

Investment Program (ECIP). After zeroing out DOD’s

request for $50 million for ECIP in FY 2000, Congress

appropriated $15 million of the requested $33.5 million

in FY 2001, $27 million of the requested $35 million in

FY 2002, and $35.4 million of the requested $50

million in FY 2003. The FY 2002 program funded 22

projects with an average savings-to-investment ratio of

3.9 and a $6 million renewable energy assessment.

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

W hen life-cycle cost-effective, DOD Components

select ENERGY STAR® and other energy-efficient

products when acquiring energy-consuming products.

Guidance generated by DOE, GSA, and DLA for

energy-efficient products are being incorporated into

the sustainable design and development of new and

renovated facilities. The components are procuring

energy-consuming products that are in the upper 25

percent of energy efficiency. 

All family housing appliances, HVAC equipment,

domestic hot water equipment, and building lighting

fixtures comply with ENERGY STAR®

 product standards.

Army procurement regulations mandate procurement of

only energy-consuming products which are in the upper

25 percent of energy efficiency. Navy energy managers

utilized the DLA lighting CD ROM and Washington

State Energy Office MotorMaster database to assist in

purchasing energy-efficient equipment. MCB Camp

Butler purchased 310 high-efficiency washers for

renovated family housing and 20 stack washer/dryers

for the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters and Bachelor

Officers Quarters to replace old top-loading washers. 

ENERG Y STAR® Buildings

In FY 2002, the Army, Navy, and Air Force signed

criteria directing the use of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-

2001, Energy Standard for Buildings (except Low-Rise

Residential Buildings). In 2001, the Navy and EPA

signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

certifying that Navy family housing construction

criteria meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR® Homes

requirements. All homes built to the criteria will be

certified ENERGY STAR® homes. In FY 2002, a MOU

between the EPA and the Pentagon Renovation Office

was signed agreeing to use the Portfolio Manager rating

tool, adopt the ENERGY STAR® strategy, educate staff

and public, provide metering/sub-metering, and

conform to current indoor environmental standards.

Sustainable Building Design

The concepts of sustainable development as applied to

DOD installations have been incorporated into the

master planning process of each of the Services.

Installations are encouraged to approach land use

planning and urban design in a holistic manner and

integrate it with energy planning. ASHRAE Standard

90.1 is the Tri-Service energy criteria for new

construction and major renovation. On July 5, 2002,

NAVFAC officially adopted the U.S. Green Building

Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEEDTM) rating system. All Navy Military

Construction projects will include a line item

identifying the cost of sustainable development on DD

1391 Project Data Forms in an effort to retain these

features through commissioning. 

The Army has embraced the design, construction,

operation, and reuse/removal of the built environment

in an environmentally and energy efficient manner and

has identified projects in FY 2002 and beyond as Army

Sustainable Design and Development Showcase

Facilities. This program will facilitate awareness of

how facility systems and materials affect initial project

and life-cycle costs, operations and maintenance

practices, and ultimate facility performance during the

facilities’ lifetime. The Army’s policy requires all

projects to be scored against its Sustainable Project

Rating Tool, achieving at least a bronze level but

encourages striving for higher sustainable rating levels

(silver, gold , and p latinum). Ad ditiona lly,

approximately 450 design engineers and installation

personnel were trained in FY 2002 through the U.S.
96

Army Corp of Engineers’ three-day sustainable design

workshop. 

BEQ Naval Base Norfolk, Virginia, achieved a

LEEDTM gold rating at a premium cost of only 2.8

percent. Energy conserving features resulted in a 43

percent reduction as compared to a computer modeled

base case and $278,000 savings per year in energy costs

with a life-cycle energy savings of $4.5 million.

Sustainable features that proved to be cost effective

include steam condensate heat recovery, exhaust air

heat recovery, occupancy sensors for HVAC and

lighting, gray-water recycling, and ENERGY STAR®-

rated roofing. The USAF Academy, Colorado, is

constructing a $32 million athletic facility expansion

that will include the most efficient and latest technology

in HVAC controls, lighting, roofing and building

envelope materials, and window glazing. The USAF

Academy is also constructing a $19 million Military

family housing replacement project that includes

sustainable design for landscape, architecture, envelope

materials, and ENERGY STAR®-rated or equivalent

appliances, HVAC, and lighting. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

DOD emphasizes energy and water conservation in

leased facilities and each Service has issued guidance

directing that all leased spaces comply with the energy

and water efficiency requirements of the Energy Policy

Act of 1992. It is DOD’s intent to have the landlord

make appropriate investments in energy efficiency

which can be amortized in the lease, provided the new

total cost (energy costs plus lease cost) does not exceed

total costs without improvements. These leases should

amortize the investments over the economic life of the

improvements. Build-to-lease solicitations for DOD

facilities will contain criteria encouraging sustainable

design and development, energy efficiency, and

verification of building performance. DOD relies upon

GSA to ensure the above provisions are included in

buildings that they lease for DOD. As an example,

DeCA’s Eastern Region incorporated the requirement,

through GSA, to use current commercial energyefficient design standards with set back thermostats and

HVAC equipment with high SEER ratings as part of

negotiations for the lease for additional office space for

their headquarters. The leased space also includes new

low flow plumbing fixtures. The energy and utility

costs are currently included in the lease agreement.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

Several major initiatives for industrial facility

efficiency improvements are underway, including the

decentralization of the central heat plant at Westover

ARB, Massachusetts; Fairchild AFB, Washington; and

Kirtland AFB, New Mexico; with energy savings of

347 trillion Btu per year. The Army continues to use the

Process Energy and Pollution Reduction software

developed by CERL to evaluate their energy reduction

potential in industrial facilities. NSY Portsmouth,

Maine, added 5.5 megawatts of capacity to their FY

1999 cogeneration plant project bringing the total plant

capacity to 11 megawatts. In addition to the

cogeneration plant, this $42 million project provides

2-70K lb/hr package boilers, two 2.5-megawatt diesel

back-up generators, eliminates a hot water distribution

system, and includes contracted maintenance and repair

of the plant. DeCA, with a large inventory of

commissary stores, installs dual-path air conditioning to

control humidity as an alternative to natural gas or

propane fired desiccant dehumidification systems.

Domestic hot water heat reclaim systems are standard

in most large commissary store systems. Remote

diagnostic monitoring of Refrigeration Monitoring and

Control Systems is used at approximately 191

individual commissaries to assure that refrigeration and

lighting systems are being operated and maintained at

their design specification. Lighting controls were

monitored and discrepancies were forwarded to

DeCA’s maintenance contractors on a daily basis for

correction. This surveillance continues to result in

improved contractor maintenance and improved

equipment operation and less energy consumed. 

Highly Efficient Systems

DOD encourages the components to combine cooling,

heating, and power systems in new construction and/or

retrofit projects when cost effective. The Army is

currently in the final year of a five-year, $300 million

central boiler plant modernization program. The goals

of this program are to update the aging central boiler

plant infrastructures at select, large installations.

Central heating systems at 14 major Army installations

have been modernized under this initiative from FY

1998 to FY 2002. In addition to the centrally funded

program, the installations also used their operations and

maintenance funds to implement energy saving projects

such as upgrading boilers and distribution systems,

improving high efficiency pumps and motors, and

updating system controls. Naval Medical Center, San

Diego, upgraded its cogeneration plant. Three 850-

kilowatt gas turbines were replaced with one 4.6-

megawatt gas turbine and a 25,000 lb/hr heat recovery

boiler. Two 2.5-megawatt diesel generators will provide

stand-by power. MAGTFTC 29 Palms, California, will

add two 600 ton absorption chillers to the 7.5-megawatt

cogeneration plant to make further use of waste heat

from the plant. The plant will be operational in May

2003. The resulting system will be a combined heat and

power plant capable of handling increased loads

envisioned in the base master plan. The plant will

dramatically improve reliability of the cooling system,

and reduce grid demand, avoiding costly peak charges.

DeCA’s new refrigeration systems utilize electronic
97

controls, heat reclaim and “floating head” to reduce

energy usage. 

Off-Grid Generation

DOD is pursuing off-grid generation where it is

life-cycle cost-effective to provide peak shaving

opportunities and energy security. Typical applications

include microturbines, fuel cells, cogeneration plants,

fly wheels, and back-up generators. 

Fort McPherson, Georgia, completed an ESPC project

to use the primary back-up generators on the post to

control the peak load. This 4.4-megawatt system is

capable of supporting the complete load of Marshall

Hall, the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM)

Headquarters building, in an emergency. The system

can work in curtailment mode (based on the utility peak

demand) or peak shaving mode (based on the

installation peak). Fort McPherson also installed a

flywheel system as part of the uninterruptible power

supply (UPS) for Marshall Hall, the FORSCOM

Headquarters building. The UPS serves as temporary

bridge power for critical systems in the building until

the building diesel generators come online. The

flywheel system replaced approximately 750

heavy-duty lead-acid batteries that took up 2,400 square

feet in the building basement. 

The Navy is validating the performance and cost of

microturbines and PEM fuel cells. Microturbines were

installed and instrumented at NAB Coronado,

California, and SUBASE New London, Connecticut.

Nine 5-kilowatt PEM fuel cells were purchased, and

start-up is expected in November 2002. These fuel cells

are combined heat and power, grid parallel, natural

gas-fueled units. They are in the process of being

installed at NAS North Island, California; SUBASE

Point Loma, California; and NAWS China Lake,

California. These one-year demonstration projects will

assess the performance, and operations, maintenance,

and repair requirements of the PEM fuel cells.

Although PEM technology has made progress toward

viable commercial products, there are still substantial

durability, reliability, and availability issues that remain

(e.g., the lifetime of a PEM fuel stack is about 6 months

under continuous operation). The Navy is fostering

development of heat recovery and use of liquid fuel

sources. A preliminary report will be available by the

end of FY 2003, with a follow-on report in late-FY

2004. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

DOD installations in the West responded to the

President’s Memorandum of May 3, 2001 and reduced

summer peak demand. DOD Services met the

conservation challenge by instituting an aggressive

energy awareness campaign and monitoring program,

installing vending machine misers, adjusting energy

management control system set points, and hiring

regional efficiency managers. California commissaries

turned off 50 percent of sales area lighting during load

reduction warning periods. Peak demand reduction

investments for the program included installation of

automating controls, demand meters, compact

fluorescent lighting, solar reflective window film, and

thermal energy storage systems. Additional investments

included utilizing passive sky lighting in hangars and

upgrading/repairing energy intensive equipment.

Back-up generators were used for peak load shedding

operations. The Services procured additional generators

and invested in distributed energy resources such as

microturbines, fuel cells, and solar PV systems. As a

result of these efforts, DOD reduced its summer 2001

and summer 2002 peak demand compared to the

summer 2000 peak baseline by 9.2 percent and 5.3

percent, respectively. 

Fort Lewis, Washington, installed more than 100

Vending Misers—a new technology designated to

efficiently manage energy use of refrigerated vending

machines and adjusted their set points on the

installation’s energy management control system to

achieve maximum energy conservation. Fort Irwin,

California, instituted an aggressive campaign to

encourage energy awareness, reduce peak demand

usage of electricity, and implemented a monitoring

program to identify and shut off unoccupied building

loads. Fort Irwin also installed more than 50,000 feet of

solar reflective window film throughout the commercial

buildings and barracks on the main post to reduce air

conditioning loads. Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah,

completed installation of a 6-megawatthour generator

with the capability to significantly reduce peak load. 

The three cogeneration systems at NSY Portsmouth,

Maine; MAGTFTC 29 Palms; and Naval Medical

Center, San Diego; will add 22.6 megawatt generating

capacity to the national grid. Navy Region Southwest,

San Diego, installed a 750-kilowatt photovoltaic

system that will reduce grid demand beginning in

November, 2002. MCB Camp Pendleton, Callifornia,

disconnected 20,285 lights base-wide and installed

1,745 motion detectors/photo cells, replaced several

hundred electric clothes dryers with natural gas dryers,

replaced 177 traffic lights with LED lights, replaced

steam boilers with domestic hot water boilers, and

replaced more than 20,000 incandescent lights in

Bachelor Enlisted Barracks with compact fluorescent

lights. Navy Region Northwest installed 12,676

compact fluorescent light bulbs at SUBASE Bangor,

Washington; and NAVSTA Bremerton, Washington.

NIMA’s St. Louis facility has an established electrical

load shed plan consisting of using the EMCS to cycle

or shed all non-essential loads.

The FY 2001 Supplemental Appropriations Act as well

as the FY 2002 Defense Appropriations Act provided

funds for energy and sustainability audits for

Installations connected to the Western power grid and

beyond. This initiative will survey 58 west coast

installations for potential energy projects and assist in

project development that will reduce demand in FY

2004 and beyond.

D. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Management and Administration

The Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy is the Department of Energy’s

(DOE) Senior Agency Official, and is responsible for

advocating policy, programs, and new initiatives to take

appropriate actions to conserve energy at DOE facilities

to the maximum extent consistent with the effective

discharge of public responsibilities. The Program

Manager of DOE’s Federal Energy Management

Program (FEMP), is the agency official responsible for

implementing the policies, programs, and new

initiatives of the Assistant Secretary at DOE facilities

and for accomplishing the requirements of Executive

Order 13123.

The agency energy team at headquarters is the Energy

Management Steering Committee (EMSC), comprised

of senior level representatives from each of the major

DOE programs responsible for implementation of

DOE’s mission at the sites. 

DOE also has a team of energy management

professionals from headquarters, DOE Field Offices,

and sites called the Energy Efficiency Working Group

(EEWG), sponsored by FEMP. The group promotes

excellence in energy management through the active

exchange of timely management and technical

information. 

Management Tools

Awards

The Departmental Energy Management Awards were

established in FY 1979. Each year, these awards are

presented to DOE personnel in recognition of their

outstanding contributions toward energy and dollar

savings at DOE facilities and field organizations. 

Many DOE organizations have employee incentive

programs to reward exceptional performance in

implementing Executive Order 13123.

Performance Evaluations

Many DOE sites incorporate energy management

criteria into employee performance evaluations and

position descriptions.

Training

Technical training and energy awareness activities

continue to be a large component of DOE site

programs, and many DOE organizations have training

programs in place, or take advantage of training and

education opportunities as they arise.

Showcase Facilities

Many DOE facilities do not qualify as Showcase

facilities because visitation is restricted because of

national security or safety reasons. In FY 2002, the

following five DOE facilities were designated as

Federal Energy Saver Showcase Facilities:

• Bechtel Hanford Headquarters, Richland Corporate

Center, Richland, Washington;

• FermiNationalAccelerator Laboratory (Fermilab),

Main Injector 8 GeV Beamline, Batavia, Illinois;

• Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL),

Building 46, Berkeley, California;

• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL),

Thermal Test Facility, Golden, Colorado; and, 

• Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL),

Buildings Technology Center, Oak Ridge,

Tennessee.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, DOE reported a 47.5 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

This reduction is partially due to reduced

mission-related activities and overall downsizing of

operations and facilities. DOE received credit for

purchases of 21.0 billion Btu of renewable electricity.

This lowered the energy intensity of its standard

buildings from 248,592 Btu/GSF to 248,285 Btu/GSF.

Laboratory and Industrial Facilities 

DOE’s laboratory and industrial facilities saw a

reduction in Btu per gross square foot of 22.4 percent

since FY 1990. This reduction is mainly attributable to

reduced mission-related activities and overall

downsizing of operations and facilities.

Exempt Facilities

Most of the facilities proposed for exemption are

currently reported under the metered process category

and have been scaled back operationally to prepare for

decontamination and decommissioning. These facilities

have traditionally been energy intensive operations that

will in many cases dominate the energy consumption

being reported at the site and the site consumption will

vary in direct relationship to the energy consumption of

these facilities. Traditional energy conservation

measures will not significantly affect the energy

consumption that will be reported for these facilities,

and it would be impractical to meet the goals with these

facilities other than in the exempt category.
100

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

Over-the-road vehicles at Idaho National Engineering

and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) are switching

from gasoline and diesel to compressed natural gas

(CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is

anticipated that off-road equipment will make similar

changes once the equipment becomes available. Also,

INEEL installed a CNG fueling station in Idaho Falls in

partnership with several local businesses and the

Greater Yellowstone–Teton Clean Cities Coalition.

This effort resulted in an alternative fuel source for a

growing commercial alternative fuel infrastructure and

in support of vehicle pool and alternative fuel research

for the INEEL. Los Alamos National Laboratory

(LANL), Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E),

and Argonne National Laboratory-West (ANL-W) also

reported use of CNG, electrical vehicles, or other

alternative fuels for automobile gas, in combination

with fleet reduction. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

NREL generates about 50 megawatthours of electricity

from a grid-connected photovoltaic system per year.

NREL purchased an additional 720 watts of

photovoltaic panels in FY 2002 that were installed at

the Site Entrance Building to help offset electrical

usage. The NREL National Wind Technology Center

(NWTC) has approximately 1,600 kilowatts of installed

wind turbine capacity used for research purposes.

NREL and DOE’s Golden Office are currently

negotiating a purchase power agreement with Xcel

Energy for any excess energy produced at the NWTC.

Fermilab’s on-going use of permanent magnet

technology in its Recycler and 8 GeV Beamline

continues to displace 500 kilowatts of purchased

electric power capacity; saving more than $100,000

annually.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)

Environmental Remediation Department has deployed

nine solar treatment tnits (STUs). The STUs are

photovoltaic-powered, portable, g roun dwa ter

contamination treatment units. Each unit’s photovoltaic

array is capable of generating about 400 watts of

electric power. Thus, total STU PV-generated power

capacity at LLNL is about 3.6 kilowatts. LLNL also

received funding from DOE’s pollution prevention

programs to install a demonstration-scale, 3.6-kilowatt

photovoltaic system at the Visitor’s Center.

Photovoltaic parking lot and walkway lighting has also

been installed.

The Savannah River Site (SRS) uses self-generated

renewable energy in remote locations across the site

where utilities are not available. SRS uses small

photovoltaic arrays in applications such as traffic

signals, railroad crossings, and environmental

monitoring stations.

The INEEL Records Storage Facility includes a solar

wall that avoids electricity consumption that would be

needed for HVAC space conditioning. The wall has

been instrumented to obtain trending data that may lead

to additional solar wall applications at the INEEL either

in new construction or retrofits.

Purchased Renewable Energy

On April 20, 2000, the Secretary of Energy directed

DOE to purchase 3 percent of its total electricity needs

from non-hydropower renewable energy sources by

2005, and 7.5 percent of its total electricity purchases

from renewable sources by 2010. In instances where

renewable power costs more than electricity from

conventional sources, DOE will fund the incremental

costs with money saved from energy projects, savings

obtained through lower energy costs as a result of retail

electric competition, contract negotiations with utility

companies, and utility rate reductions. By combining

the lower cost electricity with some portion of

moderately more expensive renewable electricity, DOE

will not increase its overall utility budget. During FY

2002, DOE purchased 22,594 megawatthours of

renewable power at a cost of $996,900.

The Richland Operations Office negotiated a 10-year

contract with Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)

in which the Hanford Site will purchase

Environmentally Preferred Power for a five-year rate

period. An addendum to the contract increased the

purchase of “green power” capacity from 1 megawatt

per year to 1.5 megawatts per year for the first two

years. The BPA power contract achieves or exceeds the

3 percent goal for the Hanford Site. Pacific Northwest

National Laboratory (PNNL) began negotiations with

the City of Richland to purchase green power generated

by wind turbines to supply PNNL buildings. The wind

power purchase began in FY 2003. 

In signing up to the Green Power Switch program,

ORNL became the Tennessee Valley Authority’s

(TVA’s) first industrial green power participant. The

TVA program includes three wind turbines atop

Bu ffalo Mountain in the Southeast’s first

commercial-scale use of wind power to generate

electricity. Also, the TVA program includes several

solar collectors, including those at the ORNL

photovoltaic DER showcase project, with additional

sites and a landfill gas-to-energy facility planned in the

near future. In support of the Green Power Switch

program, in FY 2002 ORNL used 675 megawatthours

at a total incremental cost of $18,000. ORNL plans to
101

participate in TVA’s green power program on a

long-term basis.

In FY 2002, NREL purchased 1,981 megawatthours of

wind-generated electricity from the local utility

company. This purchase represents 10 percent of

NREL’s annual electrical usage. NREL has committed

to purchase another 1,981 megawatthours of

wind-generated electricity for FY 2003 and will be

negotiating agreements for FY 2004 and beyond. 

Xcel Energy currently provides the Waste Isolation

Pilot Plant (WIPP) with 1,500 megawatthours of wind

energy, with payments by Sandia National Laboratories

through the Wind Power New Mexico Initiative. 

Petroleum

Since FY 1985, DOE has substantially reduced its use

of petroleum-based fuels in its facilities. In FY 2002,

DOE reduced consumption of fuel oil in its standard

buildings by 27.7 percent from almost 7.5 million

gallons in FY 1985 to 5.5 million gallons in FY 2002.

The use of LPG/propane was reduced 66.9 percent

during the period, a reduction of 741,679 gallons.

Water Conservation

DOE recognizes the potential to save money and

natural resources through water conservation. Facilities

are using life-cycle cost-effective measures to reduce

water consumption and associated energy use. In FY

2002, DOE also encouraged its field offices and sites to

include water management plans in their facility

management plans. DOE sites reported using almost 5.9

billion gallons of water during FY 2002, costing $10.4

million.

DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration,

Nevada Operations Office (NNSA/NV) and Bechtel

Nevada have established a water conservation and

efficiency program and plan. A project to xeriscape a

large portion of the landscape at North Las Vegas has

resulted in a substantial savings in water consumption

at that site. This xeriscaping project in FY 2002

converted 47,200 square feet of turf landscaping to

xeriscape at two buildings. Total estimated savings are

approximately 2.6 million gallons of water per year.

ANL-E continues to add metering to individual

facilities to track water use. The total unaccounted

usage of domestic water has been reduced from 35

percent to 8 percent. FEMP funded a $210,000 water

conservation project at the Laboratory in late-FY 2002.

The project is expected to save more than 11 million

gallons of water annually (approximately 6 percent of

usage) when completed in FY 2003.

Fermilab pursued several initiatives to improve water

efficiency on site in FY 2002. Under its Utility

Incentive Program site-wide surveys were performed to

identify water conservation opportunities. Resources

needed to facilitate a site surface water management

plan were also identified. Leakage losses from

accelerator surface water cooling systems were

reduced. This was reflected in a reduction of industrial

make-up water use by 29 million gallons from the

previous year despite Fermilab’s operation of its

accelerator complex in FY 2002 at the most intense

level in the history of the site, resulting in increased

evaporative cooling loads.

Conservation procedures have been practiced at LLNL

for many years. Recently, point-of-use water

conservation has been funded (retrofitting of ultra

low-flow toilets and urinal sensor flush valves). Reuse

of treated effluent from groundwater remediation

facilities is being considered for irrigation and/or as

condenser water. Reclamation of sanitary wastewater

may be considered in the future, however treatment

facility siting is sensitive as LLNL is located in a

developed area with a new residential subdivision

located across the street.

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been very

successfully reduced potable water consumption 25

percent from FY 1999 to FY 2002. In FY 2002, BNL

surveyed 4,300 linear feet of water main for leaks and

no significant leaks were found. In addition, a project to

eliminate once-through cooling in one of the facilities

was completed. It is estimated that this project will save

43.2 million gallons of water per year. BNL will begin

to develop a comprehensive water management plan in

FY 2003.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

DOE encourages facilities to use life-cycle cost (LCC)

analysis when making decisions about their investments

in products, services, construction, and other projects to

lower the Agency’s costs and to reduce energy and

water consumption. Sites and facilities also implement

programs to retire inefficient equipment on an

accelerated basis where replacement results in lower

life-cycle costs. 

ANL-E uses LCC analysis in its implementation of

energy and water conservation projects. LCC analysis

is required for all energy and water conservation

projects that are proposed for implementation at ANL-E

including those projects developed by utility energy

services contact (UESC) and Super Energy Savings

Performance Contract (ESPC ) contractors.

Additionally, the ANL-E requires that the UESC and
102

ESPC contractors screen each audited facility for the

application of renewable energy as part of any facility

upgrade project proposal. 

Procedures are in place to ensure that funds controlled

by the LLNL Energy Management Program (EMP) use

LCC analyses in making investment decisions. An

example of the effective use of life-cycle cost analysis

led to the investment decision that new facilities are

now to routinely specify premium efficiency motors.

The EMP has had several recent successes in

convincing project teams to specify modulating

condensing boiler systems rather than conventional

boilers. Specifically, new Building 140 and a

replacement boiler for existing Building 361 will be

modulating condensing boilers. The new modulating

condensing boilers are more expensive than their

conventional alternatives, but exhibit superior

performance, providing life-cycle fuel cost savings far

in excess of their initial cost premium.

At Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12), the major

effort to modernize Y-12 includes projects that use

state-of-the-art life cycle cost planning techniques.

Smaller modular facilities with high-efficiency energy

designs are an integral part of the Y-12 Modernization

Program. 

Facility Energy Audits

DOE sites are working to meet the Executive Order

13123 goal of conducting energy and water audits for

approximately 10 percent of their facilities each year.

Audits are conducted independently, through ESPCs or

UESCs. In FY 2002, more than two percent of DOE

facilities were audited. From FY 1992 to FY 2002,

more than 90 percent of space received energy audits.

Seven facilities at the Idaho National Engineering and

Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) were audited

including the Willow Creek Office Building. Total

building area audited for FY 2002 comprised 501,156

square feet, approximately 10 percent of INEEL

building area. S evera l energ y cons ervatio n

opportunities have been identified from these audits and

have been included in a retrofit project proposal

submitted to DOE’s Departmental Energy Management

Program for funding consideration in FY 2003.

Approximately 30 percent of INEEL facilities have

now had comprehensive facility audits performed to

date. 

Comprehensive facility audits have been completed for

all 3 million square feet of the Pantex Plant buildings.

The balance of the plant was audited in FY 2002 within

an ESPC energy study, which was completed in

November 2002. 

To prepare for an ESPC delivery order at Y-12,

Honeywell conducted energy audits on more than 10

percent of Y-12 facilities and included 15 facilities

where significant energy savings potential exists. For a

second delivery order at Y-12, energy audits were

conducted for another 16 buildings. Facility energy

audits were begun in the production facilities in FY

2002 using an ESPC to determine which facilities

should have priority as subsequent delivery orders are

established.

Financing Mechanisms

DOE’s Departmental Energy Management Program

received $1.4 million in appropriations for FY 2002.

This was a decrease of 30 percent from FY 2001

appropriations of $2.0 million. Funds received in FY

2002 were distributed between activities to introduce

new energy management practices into DOE sites

through Model Program Development, and funding

support for energy projects through Energy Retrofit

Project Support, that provide known energy savings and

reductions in energy use. In this way, DOE sustains an

effective program balance between implementing new

initiatives for energy management emphasizing best

practices and achieving known quantifiable energy

savings through retrofit projects. 

By the end of FY 2002, DOE facilities awarded and

completed five UESC projects with a total private

sector investment of almost $60 million. DOE has

awarded six site-specific ESPCs to date and five Super

ESPC delivery orders totaling almost $60 million. One

of the ESPC delivery orders, for a lighting project at

NNSA Nevada facilities in Las Vegas, was awarded

during FY 2002 . Johnson Controls was awarded the

delivery order under the Western Regional Super

ESPC. The 12-year contract has an investment value of

a little more than $1.0 million and will result in annual

savings of 5.7 billion Btu.

Through an Agency-wide competition, five sites

received Energy Retrofit Project support funds and four

sites received funds for M odel Program Development.

The retrofit projects will save 6,171 megawatthours of

electricity, 9.2 billion Btu of oil or natural gas, and 11.2

million gallons of water annually. The Government will

save approximately $360,000 per year in avoided

utilities and maintenance costs. The combined simple

payback period of the investments is less than four

years, with a 29 percent return on investments. 

 

At Richland Operations Office/PNNL, 15 energy

savings projects totaling $3.18 million were supported

by alternative financing in FY 2002. BPA provided

$1.28 million to purchase the value of the energy

savings of these projects, and is arranging another

$1.25 million in third party financing to support one
103

project. Upon completion of these projects, annual

energy savings of more than 12,000 megawatthours will

be realized. The associated annual cost savings is more

than $422,000. Four of the alternative financed projects

were completed during FY 2002.

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

Energy efficient computer products continue to be

purchased at the SRS. Nearly 100 percent of all site

computers are provided to site employees via a lease

agreement. This lease contract specifically states that

all computers must be ENERGY STAR® compliant. Also,

an ESPC delivery order will result in the installation of

more than 1,000 ENERGY STAR® labeled compact

fluorescent lamps and nearly 200 ENERGY STAR®

labeled exit signs.

SRS joined the EPA Waste Wise program in FY 2002.

The three goals of the SRS Waste Wise program

include: reduction of paper waste (waste prevention),

improvements in recycling collection to divert more

material to a recycle stream, and the purchase or

manufacture of recyc led products (affirmative

procurement). During FY 2002, SRS recycled 42

percent of the routine industrial waste stream.

The INEEL Procurement Department successfully

purchases products that are ENERGY STAR® rated or are

in the upper 25 percent of energy efficiency as

designated by FEMP. INEEL regularly purchases more

than 75 percent of energy-efficient products.

Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has an

ongoing program to procure wide variety of products

that increase energy efficiency and conservation. SLAC

also purchases energy-efficient computers, peripheral

equipment, copy machines and other ENERGY STAR®-

compliant product through a Blanket Ordering

Agreement negotiated by DOE’s Integrated Contractor

Purchasing Team on a regular basis.

ENERG Y STAR® Buildings

INEEL submitted and obtained qualification for one

ENERGY STAR®

 building at the end of FY 2001. The

award and media recognition were received during FY

2002. Several other facilities have been identified as

candidates for the label with retrofit project proposals

submitted for minor upgrades to assist with obtaining

qualifying scores. 

LBNL has one facility, Building 69, designated as an

ENERGY STAR

®

 building. An assessment of the energy

efficiency of buildings at ORNL led to one building

being officially designated as an ENERGY STAR®

building in FY 2000. PNNL has evaluated and is in the

process of qualifying its Sigma-5 facility for ENERGY

STAR®

 certification. The certification to ENERGY STAR®

is expected to be achieved in FY 2003.

Funding through FEMP’s Departmental Energy

Management Program is providing metering equipment

to monitor several WIPP administrative buildings to

meet ENERGY STAR® building criteria. Data is being

collected and reviewed to determine if the buildings are

candidates. The information also provides an audit of

the building system to ensure that equipment is running

properly, on schedule, and targets future conservation

opportunities. 

Sustainable Building Design

At SRS, a Pollution Prevention/Sustainable Design

report was completed in FY 2002 for the Highly

Enriched Uranium Blend Down project. A site team

was formed to evaluate potential sustainable design

upgrades to this project during initial design phases. A

total of 114 opportunities for improvement were

selected from the P2-EDGE program, and upon further

evaluation, 74 potential design opportunities and 23

design features were identified. The use of minimum

materials, non-toxic materials, recycled materials, and

special epoxy coatings were written into the bid

requirements and specifications. Project savings were

generated from the use of existing or surplus tanks,

pumps, agitators, GVC piping, and other process

jumpe rs. These elimina ted the need for

decontamination activities. The savings was

approximately $388,000.

Through ROI-funding, LLNL’s Environmental

Protection Department has mo dified M aster

Construction Specifications through an Affirmative

Procurement project. Specific sustainable building

material selections are incorporated into the Master

Construction Specifications. Coupled with suggested

changes for energy efficiency during FY 1999 and FY

2000, LLNL’s Master Construction Specifications will

institutionalize sustainable design, energy efficiency

and water conservation practices. Several are currently

in the design stages. Requests for A/E design services

for several new building projects have required a

Sustainable Design Report and/or adherence to

LEEDTM design principals, if not the acquisition of

LEEDTM certification. LLNL is currently involved in a

Laboratory-funded design/build effort to construct a

new Central Cafeteria. The project team has embraced

an energy-efficient design and has incorporated many

LEEDTM design principals in the design development.

Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is tracking the

sustainable design criteria for the Joint Computational

Engineering Laboratory and the Microsystems and

Engineering SciencesApplications (MESA) projects, to

increase the likelihood of advanced energy efficient
104

design. Both projects began design in FY 2001; the

MESA project has a goal of 30 percent reduction in

energy intensity from a design compliant with

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) energy standards.

NREL will continue to incorporate sustainable building

design principles when considering location, design,

and construction of new facilities. The Laboratory’s

experiences in applying sustainable design principles to

the Science and Technology Facility (STF), and its

internal sustainability studies, are reflected in the

revisions to NREL’s design standards and

specifications, design process, and site planning

principles. Some of the specific additional practices that

have been incorporated include the following:

• NREL is requiring all new NREL facilities (10,000

square feet and larger) to be scored using the

LEEDTM rating system, and a minimum rating of

silver is required.

• Criteria for selection of A/E firms for building

design includes sustainability criteria equally

weighted with environmental safety and health,

technical experience, and project management

considerations. Specific sustainability criteria were

included in the recent solicitation for the STF

project engineering design.

• STF as well as future buildings will include

extensive energy metering, both whole building

energy use and subsystem energy use. This will

enable NREL to monitor and optimize building

performance, including the R&D process loads.

The data will also help to refine the DOE-2 energy

design model and, as new technologies are

developed, evaluate future energy-saving

opportunities within buildings. 

• The System Interconnection Test Laboratory

(SITL) was designed during FY 2002. The 10,650

square foot Laboratory achieved a LEEDTM score

that qualifies for a gold rating. The SITL has a

projected energy reduction of 50 percent compared

to ASHRAE 90.1-1999. If the electrical output

from the 10-kilowatt BIPV system is included, the

energy reduction is 70 percent. The energy

reduction compared to 10 CFR 434 would be even

greater.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

As part of the Facility Revitalization Project at ORNL,

new facilities will be developed, constructed, and

leased. Project management investigated how to best

incorporate energy-efficient criteria into the project.

One method being implemented is to require new

building(s) to be LEEDTM certified where appropriate.

Requiring a new building developer to provide a

LEEDTM-certified building will help incorporate many

energy efficient, pollution prevention, and sustainable

aspects into the design. Additionally, specifications for

new buildings require that the design lead to a

completed building that could receive the ENERGY

STAR® label.

PNNL negotiated with its leased building owners to

incorporate night setbacks on a schedule for traditional

unoccupied times and to replace burned out light bulbs

with energy efficient lights and fixtures. PNNL also

teamed with BPA to secure funding to install energy

conservation measures in two leased facilities.

Installation of these improvements began in FY 2002

and is expected to be completed in FY 2003.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

A number of activities have been undertaken at BNL

with regard to efficiency in energy intensive facilities

in FY 2002. These include: 

• Chilled water bypass at the Central Chilled Water

Facility to improve return temperatures to the

chillers.

• Additional building connected to the Central

Chilled Water Facility to eliminate older,

inefficient R11 chillers.

• Reschedule of 30 megawatts of demand to avoid

coinciding with the utility summer peak.

• Analysis of steam system distribution losses to

evaluate additional potential saving opportunities.

• Initiated feasibility study of more efficient

cryogenic refrigeration at RHC.

• Receipt of $235,000 in funding for energy and

water conservation projects.

The LLNL Energy Management Program performed

energy and water conserving retrofits and was involved

in numerous other activities. Seven energy efficiency

projects were completed during FY 2002. These

projects addressed retrofits for energy efficiency in

building HVAC, vending machine systems, central

compressed air plant and distribution system piping and

boiler/chilled water system repair procedures. The

seven projects’ combined investment was about

$373,000. Expected energy savings are about 2.13

million kilowatt hours per year of electric power and

97,200 therms per year of natural gas. Energy and

O&M cost savings total about $226,500 per year. 
105

One of the more successful projects required the

smallest investment. The Drain-Down recovery project

represents a simple concept of saving water drained

from circulating chilled and hot water systems for

refilling the systems following repairs. Savings are

achieved in water use, scale and corrosion inhibiting

chemicals use, and in labor costs no longer needed to

assure that discharged circulating water is compatible

with discharge water quality requirements. This project,

funded through DOE’s pollution prevention program

benefitted from the acquisition of surplus equipment;

the investment pays back in about 3-months. The

project received a 2002 Federal Energy and Water

Management Award. 

In FY 2002 ORNL continued with the implementation

of a 10-year master plan to convert the central steam

plant from coal to natural gas as the primary fuel. This

conversion has been completed and has allowed the

burning of coal and the handling of coal to be

eliminated and will save significant energy,

maintenance, operation, and environmental-related

expenses in future years. As part of this effort, two

coal-fired boilers were modified so that they could burn

natural gas more efficiently. Finally, boiler control

improvements began in FY 2002 will be completed in

early FY 2003.

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is

designing a central chiller utility to improve control and

efficiency, to take advantage of load diversity, and to

remove ozone depleting refrigerant chillers from

service. All heating boilers have been converted to

natural gas or were originally purchased as gas

furnaces. Cogeneration has been investigated and

shown to be uneconomical; however, natural gas fired

backup generators were installed at five locations for

standby use.

Highly Efficient Systems

Fermilab worked with Exelon Services during the year

to develop preliminary concepts for the possible use of

biogas powered cogeneration on-site. A request was

submitted to FEMP under the Model Programs

initiative towards developing a contract under the new

Biomass and Alternative Methane Fuels (BAMF) Super

ESPC vehicle for a 15 megawatt on-site plant using

landfill gas currently being flared to the atmosphere at

the Settler’s Hill facility in Batavia, Illinois, which is

located near the site. 

Two projects currently under construction at Fermilab

use sustainable design principles. One project also

includes an innovative, sustainable approach to

d o mestic water h eating. A n abandone d

concentrating-solar-through array is being renovated to

provide domestic hot water for the building. This

project feature will save water heating energy, utilize an

existing unused resource and provide a functional

example of sustainable building practices.

At the Kansas City Plant (KCP), water chillers were

replaced this year using Facilities and Infrastructure

Funds. The chillers were selected using LCC analysis

and based on their high energy efficiency as well as

chlorofluorocarbon issues. Construction continues to

replace the boilers and controls that provide steam to

the KCP. Two new boilers have been installed and

tested and are supplying steam to the KCP. Two

additional new boilers will be installed, tested and put

online in FY 2003. The boiler systems were selected

and designed to provide the highest energy efficiency.

Off-Grid Generation

At BNL, two microturbine demonstration units were

installed in 2002. One of the units provides electricity

generation and heat recovery, while the other unit

currently provides electricity only. In addition, a $1

million grant from the New York State Energy

Research and Development Administration wassecured

for a 250-kilowatt fuel cell demonstration project.

There was also a commitment from the electric utility

to provide up to $400,000 in construction and

engineering services. Additional funding is needed for

the balance of the project costs. 

Fermilab completed a new emergency generator at the

Feynman Computing Center this year that was

specifically designed to allow the Laboratory to reduce

site electrical load under curtailment scenarios.

Opportunities for application of both dedicated and

peak shaving on-site generation continued to be

explored during the year.

NREL uses hot water heat from natural gas-fired boilers

in its STM site buildings. Hot water heat is provided

through electric boilers at the NTWC. No absorption

chillers are used on site; all building cooling is done

with cooling towers.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

BNL participated in Long Island Power Authority’s

(NYPA’s) peak load curtailment program during the

summer of FY 2002. The Laboratory contracted to

reduce electric demand by 4 megawatts during critical

periods, and earned rebates of nearly $56,000 by

successful participation. BNL rescheduled major

experimental programs and reduced allocation of

electrical power from NYPA during the peak summer

months by as much as 37 megawatts.

SRS continued the longstanding and successful Peak

Alert program during the summer of FY 2002. This

program has been effective in reducing utility costs.
106

Demand has been reduced by as much as 10 percent on

a hot day. SRS also prepared an Energy Curtailment

Plan in FY 2002. The plan defines the appropriate

response measures for declared energy emergencies

involving the Savannah River Site and provides much

flexibility for future site changes and energy loads since

decisions would be made at the time of the emergency

based on current usage by fuel type.

During electrical power emergencies, Rocky Flats has

an emergency electrical load reduction program that

will be implemented. This program includes turning off

all non-essential equipment, adjusting thermostats to

reduce electrical consumption, and reducing lighting

levels. The program also includes placing buildings on

stationary emergency generators.

E. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS)

Management and Administration

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

has established a centralized energy program to

coordinate energy and water conservation efforts,

facilitate alternative financing of energy and water

projects, promote Federal energy programs, manage an

extensive energy awareness campaign, and provide

information and assistance to meet energy reduction

goals. The HHS Senior Agency Official is the Assistant

Secretary for Administration and Management.

The six HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) that

manage real property are the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA), the Indian Health Service (IHS),

the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Office of

the Secretary (OS), and the Program Support Center

(PSC).

Management Tools

Awards

The annual HHS Energy and Water Management

Awards Program rewards the exceptional performance

of HHS energy management personnel. In FY 2002, 12

nominations were submitted, double the number

received in 2001. Awards were presented to

individuals, small groups, and one organization for their

exceptional performance in energy efficiency/energy

management, water conservation, and alternative

financing. 

Also in FY 2002, two employees from the IHS David

C. Wynecoop Memorial Clinic in Wellpinit,

Washington, received a Federal Energy and Water

Management Award. 

The HHS NIH National Cancer Institute and the DOD

Army Garrison at Fort Detrick, Maryland, received a

2002 Presidential Award for Leadership in Federal

Energy Management for their “Partnership for Energy

Performance” (PEP) initiative. PEP has a dedicated

team consisting of employees from the National Cancer

Institute, the U.S. Army Garrison, Allegheny Power,

and SAIC Frederick, working together in a publicprivate partnership to successfully implement facility

improvements. Under a utility area-wide agreement,

PEP developed a utility energy service contract (UESC)

to acquire energy conservation services and more than

$25 million in facility improvements. The program has

achieved energy and maintenance cost savings of more

than $3.6 million and expects to save more than $60

million during the term of the contract. Annual

electricity savings exceed 19 gigawatthours and more

than 163 million pounds of steam. This initiative also

received a 2002 Federal Energy and Water

Management Award.

HHS uses the You Have the Power campaign energy

champion posters to recognize individuals and small

groups for their outstanding efforts in energy and water

efficiency. In FY 2002, one energy champion poster

and one energy project poster was published for HHS.

In addition, CDC, IHS, and OS used internal awards

programs in FY 2002 to recognize individuals for their

work on improving central plant efficiency and

increasing energy awareness. 

Performance Evaluations 

Several key OPDIV energy management personnel

positions contain critical performance elements that

address energy and water efficiency, particularly within

CDC, IHS, NIH, PSC, and OS. Each year, additional

positions within the OPDIVs are revised to include

performance measurements for energy and water

conservation and consumption. 

Training 

In FY 2002, 61 HHS energy personnel received training

in energy and water efficiency. Training included

OPDIV specific workshops, DOE FEM P classes, and

utility or manufacturer-sponsored training. Outreach

and energy awareness programs are widely used

throughout the OPDIVs and by the HHS Energy

Program. 

Showcase Facilities 

In FY 2002, HHS designated the IHS David C.

Wynecoop Memorial Clinic a 2002 Federal Energy

Saver Showcase. The team at the Wynecoop Clinic

diligently pursued and implemented highly successful

energy management practices with limited personnel

and operational resources, which resulted in a 68

percent reduction in energy intensity. Specific projects

implemented include replacement of inefficient heat

pumps, expansion of HVAC zoning to optimize

operational control, installation of energy-efficient

lighting and windows, and retrofit of plumbing fixtures

with low-flow models. 

Two facilities were under consideration in FY 2003.

The first, the IHS Blackfeet Hospital in Browning,

Montana, which was awarded the 2002 ENERGY STAR®

label. 

The second candidate facility is the Mark O. Hatfield

Clinical Research Center, currently under construction

at the NIH Bethesda Campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

The facility will utilize innovative energy conservation
108

initiatives such as steam driven electric generating

turbines as a means of conserving steam energy. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, HHS reported a 22.1 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

FY 2002 energy consumption for standard facilities was

8.5 percent lower than the FY 2001 usage. This

decrease was driven by an efficiency project at PSC

that replaced a three-way hot water diverter valve that

was leaking hot water into the building hot water loop,

thus wasting natural gas. In addition, a milder winter

reduced heating energy consumption. 

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

Eighty-nine percent of the HHS square footage is

considered energy intensive and includes laboratories,

hospitals, animal centers, health clinics, and other

related support space. In FY 2002, the energy

consumption of HHS energy intensive facilities was 7.8

trillion Btu and 344,167 Btu per gross square foot. The

FY 1990 baseline for energy intensive facilities had a

total energy consumption of 6.8 trillion Btu and a

consumption rate of 374,400 Btu per gross square foot.

This equates to a 8.1 percent decrease compared to the

baseline year of FY 1990. 

The FY 2002 energy consumption was 1.5 percent

higher than the FY 2001 usage due to continued new

construction on CDC and NIH campuses, which has

offset the energy efficiency reductions realized from

implemented projects. In addition, much of the

construction or renovations were focused on bringing

HHS laboratories up-to-date with current ventilation

standards for laboratory and animal care. Therefore,

these projects result in greater energy consumption due

to the increased ventilation required, even when energy

efficiency technologies are introduced.

Exempt Facilities

The only exempted facilities at HHS are outdoor

multilevel parking garages on the NIH Bethesda

Campus that consume lighting energy only. These

facilities are not metered separately. Therefore, the

energy consumption of these structures has been

estimated based on the number of lighting fixtures and

the time of use. Total energy use is estimated at 8.3

billion Btu or 9,380 Btu per gross square foot.

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

CDC provided management assistance for the design

and installation of a 2-kilowatt solar photovoltaic

system at a small CARE-CDC health clinic in Kenya.

DOE FEMP’s Distributed Energy Resources Program

funding covered half of the installation costs, while

CDC funded the balance. The project required

extensive organization and cooperation from several

Federal entities to complete the installation and was the

agency’s You Have the Power poster project in FY

2002.

In FY 2002, the design for the FDA White Oak Campus

included a photovoltaic energy savings performance

contract (ESPC) between Gene ral Services

Administration and SEMPRA Energy Services to

finance energy efficient projects at the new facility.

Construction will include a 10-kilowatt photovoltaic

system to augment the electrical distribution system. 

The IHS Santa Fe and Acoma-Canoncito-Laguna

(ACL) hospitals use solar energy collection systems.

Maintenance and performance improvements have been

made to both systems during the past few years. The

IHS ACL Hospital also installed solar powered outdoor

lighting. The Nashville area hospitals have solar

collection systems that reduce heating costs of the

facilities by up to 10 percent when fully functional.

Purchased Renewable Energy 

The purchase of electricity is performed by each

OPDIV and site separately as required to maintain the

mission of the facilities. In FY 2002, there were no

separate purchases of electricity generated from

renewable energy sources. Very few HHS facilities are

located in states where electrical utilities have been

deregulated. However, as the domain of the deregulated

electricity market increases, the HHS Energy Program’s

interaction and facilitation will increase in the area of

procurement of deregulated energy and electricity

generated from renewable energy sources. 

CDC in Atlanta, Georgia, requires design contractors to

evaluate economically feasible renewable energy

resources for all new buildings. By the end of FY 2002,

no renewable energy sources had been found to be

economically feasible due to low utility rates.

Petroleum

In FY 1990, HHS energy intensive facilities used 2.2

trillion Btu of fuel oil and LPG/propane. In FY 2002,

these facilities used 636.5 billion Btu of petroleum

products, resulting in a 72 percent reduction in

consumption. 
109

Water Conservation

The HHS OPDIVs reported usage of 1.6 billion gallons

of water at a cost of $8.7 million in FY 2002. This

value is a low reading or estimate of the actual water

used for the entire Agency. Due to a lack of manpower

and data, IHS was unable to provide accurate estimated

data on water consumption. IHS areas will attempt to

gather water consumption data in FY 2003, however, it

is expected that accurate data and sound estimates will

be very difficult to obtain. 

In FY 2002, FDA reported major decreases in water

consumption at the National Center for Toxicological

(NCTR) in Dauphin Island, Atlanta; Winchester

Engineering and Analytical Center (WEAC) in

Winchester, Massachusetts; and San Juan facilities. 

FDA laboratories are reviewing their water

consumption and formalizing water management plans.

Many sites have implemented water efficiency projects.

For example, the Dauphin Island laboratory has revised

scientific operating procedures by keeping the

autoclaves, a large water consuming device, on standby to reduce the supply of water to the equipment. In

addition, scientists are now using vacuum pumps and

recirculating refrigerated coolers to operate the rotary

evaporators critical to conducting experiments,

eliminating the use of tap water for the system. 

At the NIH Animal Center (NIHAC) in Poolesville,

Maryland, a non-potable water system project was

completed in FY 2002 at a cost of $1.3 million. The

project installed a gray water recycling system that

treats wastewater generated on site and recycles it back

to the facility. Major building systems at the NIHAC

now use recycled, non-potable water instead of potable

well water extracted from the on-site aquifer. It is

estimated that roughly 19 million gallons of potable

water will not be extracted from the aquifer each year.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

All HHS OPDIVs use life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis to

prioritize and justify the implementation of energy

efficiency projects. Most CDC facility designers and

program managers have been trained in the use of LCC

analysis to accurately analyze new building and retrofit

designs. In FY 2002, CDC used LCC analysis to

acquire high efficiency chillers in a new central chilled

water plant and justify the use of a chilled water storage

system for the plant. A similar chilled water storage

system was justified for another CDC facility using

LCC analysis. CDC also used LCC analysis to evaluate

water reduction methods.

LCC analysis is used by FDA in the early design phases

of new construction projects. For example, an HVAC

system renovation for the Dauphin Island laboratory is

undergoing life-cycle costing to determine the most

cost effective 100 percent outdoor air system. LCC

analysis was also used in the design of the White Oak

Laboratory and the FDA laboratory in Irvine,

California. 

The IHS Aberdeen area used LCC analysis to rank

energy conservation opportunities as part of an ESPC

contract with Johnson Controls. The IHS Oklahoma

Area used LCC analysis to determine the most cost

effective HVAC system upgrade. 

Facility Energy Audits

In FY 2002, 3.5 million square feet, or 14 percent, of

HHS facilities were audited. IHS and NIH performed

the most comprehensive audits in conjunction with

UESCs. By the end of FY 2002, 70 percent of the HHS

facility square footage received energy and water

efficiency audits. OPDIVs are responsible for ensuring

that 10 percent of their facilities are audited each year

according to the OPDIV Ten Year Audit Plans

established in FY 1994. 

Financing Mechanisms

In FY 2002, HHS used $1.8 million of direct agency

funding to implement energy and water efficiency

projects and audits. The funding projected for FY 2003

was $5.3 million. It is anticipated that most energy and

water efficiency work will be completed under

alternative financing contracts.

In FY 2002, the HHS Energy Program continued efforts

to promote and facilitate the use of alternative financing

mechanisms to implement energy and water efficiency

projects, and five new contracts were signed. Several

GSA area-wide contracts and Super ESPCs were also

initiated.

Approximately 60 percent of all CDC facilities have

implemented alternative financing contracts. In FY

2002, the Chamblee and Lawrenceville campuses

completed the construction phase of an ESPC that

upgraded lighting, water fixtures, HVAC equipment,

and optimized utility rates. The contract will save

roughly 9.5 billion Btu, or 7 percent of energy

consumption, and $80,000 in the first year.

Larger projects within FDA have been funded through

alternative financing contracts. In FY 2002, the NCTR

in Jefferson, Arkansas, completed an extensive lighting

retrofit project that included T-8 lamps, electronic

ballasts, and occupancy sensors. New capacitors were

also added to the electrical power station to increase the

site’s power factor. Also in FY 2002, negotiations were
110

initiated, continued, or completed for alternative

financing projects at NCTR, Module One (MOD1) in

Beltsville, Maryland, and the new White Oak campus.

 

In FY 2002, NIH entered into four UESCs totaling $3.3

million with a projected energy savings of 21,800 Btu

per gross square foot. NIH is using UESCs to identify,

evaluate, and implement economically feasible energy

and water conservation measures. The local utility has

been requested to perform audits at NIH facilities to

identify feasible energy and water efficiency projects

that can be implemented using UESCs.

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

The HHS Energy Program communication tools relate

the significance of using ENERGY STAR® and other

energy-efficient products and the procurement of these

products. In general, OPDIVs use the GSA Schedule to

procure energy-efficient products and have revised

project specifications and standard procurement

contracts to include their purchase. Many HHS

facilities purchase standard stock items, such as light

bulbs and ballasts, as recommended by FEMP and

ENERGY STAR® guidelines.

FDA NCTR operations and maintenance practices

include the replacement of motors with high efficiency

models as determined by the MotorMaster+ software

from DOE. In addition, the procurement of other

HVAC replacement equipment covers high efficiency

models.

PSC educates building occupants about the importance

of using ENERGY STAR® capabilities on their computers

and monitors. In addition, PSC is investigating the use

of the DOE FEMP software that restores the ENERGY

STAR®

 capabilities of computers through the local

access network.

ENERG Y STAR®

 Buildings

In FY 2002, the IHS Blackfeet Hospital in Browning,

Montana, received the first ENERGY STAR® label for an

HHS building. The Blackfeet Hospital was able to earn

this honor by maintaining indoor environment

requirements for air quality, thermal comfort, and

lighting, and has the distinction of being the first HHS

building and the first hospital to receive the label.

The Blackfeet Hospital is part of the IHS Billings area.

In addition to the Blackfeet Hospital, there are two

other hospitals in the Billings area that are in the EPA’s

ENERGY STAR®

 database. At this time the other

hospitals do not meet the top 25 percent ranking, but

the area engineers and managers will continue to

improve the efficiency of these sites in hopes of

achieving the required energy savings for the ENERGY

STAR® label. 

In FY 2002, the IHS Albuquerque area completed a

benchmarking of the area hospitals using the designated

EPA performance rating tool, and the results showed

that the Albuquerque Indian Hospital is eligible to

apply for the ENERGY STAR® label. 

Sustainable Building Design

In FY 2002, the HHS Energy Program continued to

highlight the concept of sustainable building design and

the use of the Whole Building Design Guide through the

awareness newsletters, training, and direct facility

management correspondence.

In FY 2002, CDC joined the U.S. Green Building

Council (USGBC) and is actively promoting the use of

their Whole Building Design Guide and Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM) rating

system. Three new major construction projects were

registered with USGBC in FY 2002, with a goal of

achieving a LEEDTM certification. CDC will continue

to use these sustainable design guides as standard tools

for future new building designs.

FDA uses basic sustainable building design criteria

when planning new construction. For example, the

FDA Irvine Laboratory is tall and narrow to take

advantage of natural lighting and the walls will be

constructed of architectural concrete, which will not

require insulation and drywall. In addition, native

vegetation will be planted to reduce maintenance and

irrigation requirements of the landscaping, and

reclaimed water will be used for the plants. In FY 2003,

a study was performed to determine the ability to use

additional reclaimed water for cooling tower make-up

requirements.

The NIH Design Policy and Guidelines require that new

building siting, design, and construction conform to

design and development principles that are included in

the Whole Building Design Guide Web site. To the

greatest extent practicable, these principles have been

applied to those portions of existing facilities

undergoing renovation or upgrade. The design for the

proposed construction of the National Library of

Medicine Addition is being analyzed to determine if a

LEEDTM certification is prudent for this building.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

Only 7 percent of the HHS square footage is leased

space. Where appropriate, OPDIVs review lease

agreements to give preference to buildings with

sustainable and energy efficient designs. 

FDA leases 9.5 percent of its square footage. When

feasible, energy and water efficiency measures are

implemented in the leased facilities. The Atlanta

laboratory is a leased facility which will be up for
111

renewal in FY 2005. FDA is currently working with

GSA and has issued a requested scope of work to

implement several energy and water efficiency

measures in the new lease. 

The White Oak Campus in Maryland, is a GSA leased

property. GSA, FDA, and SEMPRA Energy Services

are working together to design an energy efficient stateof-the art laboratory and office campus. FDA has

outlined specific requirements and energy efficient

technologies to be included in the design. Once the

construction is completed, FDA will pay for utilities as

part of the lease payment to GSA. The utility portion of

the lease payment will be significantly less than that for

a standard laboratory facility under GSA rates, due to

the increased energy efficiency. 

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements 

The majority of HHS square footage is considered

energy intensive. Therefore, most HHS energy projects

address energy intensive systems such as steam

systems, boiler operation, fuel switching, and

cogeneration. 

In new energy-intensive construction, HHS looks to

improve automated control methods, night setback

operations, and energy recovery methods. Due to

changes in laboratory functions and layouts, many new

laboratories have higher airflow requirements than

older buildings. This has been predominantly the case

with major renovation projects. It has been found that

older laboratory facilities did not meet the existing

standards and therefore, renovations result in even more

energy-intensive facilities.

FDA laboratories are continually studying new methods

to save energy in the facilities. In FY 2002, the MOD1

Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, retrofitted the top

f l oor of th e vivarium wing i n t o

chemistry/microbiological laboratory space. The

renovation required the installation of a dedicated air

handling unit to reduce the number of air changes to the

100 percent outdoor space and increase space

temperature and humidity control, thereby saving

energy. In addition, 15 solar tubes were added in the

laboratory space to take advantage of natural light and

reduce the need for artificial lighting. 

FDA’s WEAC applied tinted solar film to the main

entrance vestibule to address extreme afternoon

temperatures. The solar film has worked so well that

the facility management plans to apply the film to the

other windows on the front of the building in FY 2003.

Facility management has also initiated a boiler

replacement project in FY 2002. A boiler survey and

design has been completed, and is currently under

review by facility management.

The FDA Division of Facilities Planning, Engineering,

and Safety focused FY 2002 efforts on new

construction design projects and integrating energy

efficient technologies. The Irvine Laboratory currently

under construction has been designed to maximize

natural lighting and includes low-e windows. The

White Oak Campus will include a 10-kilowatt

photovoltaic system, cogeneration, absorption chiller,

variable frequency drives on chilled and condenser

water pumping and cooling tower fans, reduced lighting

loads, variable air volume systems with variable

frequency drives, demand control ventilation, nightsetback strategies, and an economizer cycle. 

During the past ten years, NIH has taken steps to reduce

its energy use through gradual replacement of

inefficient chillers with ultra-efficient large capacity

chillers. Oil burning boilers have been retrofitted to use

natural gas as the primary fuel and have been upgraded

with state-of-the-art low nitrogen oxide burners. Utility

distribution system is being replaced with larger

capacity lines to reduce head-loss and reduce overall

chilled water operating pressures. Additionally in FY

2002, construction continued for a 23 megawatt

cogeneration unit that will be approximately 85 percent

efficient. 

Highly Efficient Systems

The FDA White Oak Campus will use cogeneration. As

designed, one 5,800 kilowatt dual fuel (natural gas and

diesel) engine-driven generator will produce 100

percent of the power for the main office building on the

campus. The free waste heat recoverable from the

engine oil cooler and water jacket is transferred to the

hot water heating system. Recoverable higher

temperature waste heat from the exhaust stack gases is

used in warm weather to power a 900-ton absorption

chiller. In cold weather, the recoverable engine stack

gas heat is added to the water heating system. 

At the IHS Anchorage area, a ground water cooling

project is currently under construction for the Alaska

Native Medical Center, and is expected to be completed

in FY 2003. The estimated savings of the project is

$50,000 annually.

In FY 2002, construction continued on the 23-megawatt

cogeneration unit for the NIH Bethesda Campus. This

project is a prime example of a highly efficient energy

system with an approximate efficiency rating of 85

percent, which will save more than 640 billion Btu and

approximately $3.6 million per year. In addition, the

plant will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly

100,000 tons per year and other pollutant emissions and

particulate matter by an estimated 600 tons per year.

Another example of a system such as this is under

construction at the NIH Mark O. Hatfield Clinical
112

Research Center (CRC), and involves the use of steam

driven electric generating turbines to conserve steam

energy that would otherwise be lost in the normal

pressure reducing process.

Off-Grid Generation

The new FDA White Oak Campus will include a

photovoltaic system on the roof of the main office

building. The PV system will generate savings by

producing electricity during peak and intermediate

hours supplementing power provided by the

cogeneration plant and utility grid. The annual

estimated savings is $1,133.

The NIH 23-megawatt cogeneration unit under

construction by the local utility under a UESC, will

generate off-grid power to supply the NIH Bethesda

Campus with its base electrical load. Also, a steam

driven electrical generating turbine is under

construction at the NIH Mark. O. Hatfield CRC facility

to convert steam pressure reduction energy to

electricity. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

In FY 2002, HHS facility managers reviewed existing

load reduction plans and made improvements as

necessary. These plans were used to respond to high

demand days and curtailment periods. Since 89 percent

of the HHS square footage is energy-intensive space

that includes hospitals, laboratories, and animal centers,

the bulk of the electrical loads in these facilities are

mission critical or life, health and safety driven.

Therefore, these facilities are limited in the extent to

which equipment can be powered down. 

Most HHS facilities have established communications

with local utility companies regarding peak load

periods and demand load reduction programs. In

response to these discussions, OPDIV facility managers

have developed individual facility plans to reduce peak

demand on high load days. 

Where available, energy management control systems

were used to monitor total facility demand and loads for

individual pieces of major equipment. This allowed

facility managers to determine target levels for demand

reduction and to monitor daily use patterns. When

electrical demand approached high levels, or during

utility curtailment periods, the control systems were

programmed to automatically power down nonessential

equipment. 

The HHS Energy Program’s strong awareness efforts

were used to communicate load reduction measures that

employees could take to reduce lighting, personal

computer and appliance electrical demand at

workstations. The HHS energy newsletters, flyers, and

You Have the Power campaign materials were used to

communicate these conservation steps. 

The CDC Roybal campus in Atlanta, Georgia, used

back-up fuel oil emergency generators (capable of

powering the entire campus) to generate electricity on

high demand days and reduce summer peak electrical

loads. The local electric utility provided CDC with an

advanced notice of the next day’s hourly rates. When

the rates soared on hot summer afternoons, CDC

activated the emergency generators to relieve the

electric load. 

FDA laboratories work to reduce electrical load during

peak periods wherever possible. However, in a

laboratory it is often difficult to identify and shed

significant loads that are not critical to the facility

mission. Lighting, fans, and miscellaneous motors are

powered down when permissible, and space and

chilled water temperatures are increased to limit

electrical demand. New design projects are focusing on

reducing energy loads which will ultimately reduce

overall electrical demand at all times.

program manager and project leader. FWS managers

will be evaluated on the inclusion of environmental

leadership principles including energy efficiency in

their management decisions. This approach is being

explored by other DOI bureaus and could serve as a

model for linking performance evaluations with efforts

to achieve greater energy efficiency. 

Training 

DOI energy managers involved in building energy

efficiency and water conservation have attended

workshops offered by the Department of Energy (DOE)

Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). Others

have also attended training offered by other

organizations such a s the Genera l Services

Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, the

Association of Energy Engineers, public utilities, and

Bureau energy coordinator’s meetings. In FY 2002, 235

employees received training in energy and water

management. 

Energy management was included on the agenda at the

Interior Property Management Conference in May

2002. 

Showcase Facilities

Although no new facilities were designated in FY 2002,

DOI continues to showcase energy efficiency at 11

different sites located throughout the country. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, DOI reported a 5.3 percent increase in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

DOI received credit for purchases of 2.0 billion Btu of

renewable electricity. This lowered the energy intensity

of its standard buildings from 92,604 Btu/GSF to

92,566 Btu/GSF. Analysis of the data shows a decrease

in the use of fuel oil, coal, and steam between FY 1985

and FY 2002, but an increase in the use of electricity.

DOI was one of only four agencies to meet the

mandated goal of a 20 percent reduction in energy use

in buildings from 1975 to 1985. Meeting that goal set

DOI’s 1985 baseline energy use at a level of efficiency

that poses a considerable challenge for increased

efficiency in energy management. 

Renewable Energy

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and DOE’s

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

established a partnership effort in FY 2002 to conduct

assessments of renewable energy resources, excluding

hydropower, on public lands in the western United

States and to identify land use planning units with the

highest potential for renewable energy development.

BLM also issued guidelines that will help the agency

respond to a growing interest in the commercial

development of wind energy projects on the nation’s

public lands. 
114

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

DOI has implemented 40 renewable energy projects,

including stand-alone and grid-connected photovoltaic

systems, solar thermal projects, geothermal heat pumps,

and wind related projects. 

Examples of renewable projects include the following

from the BLM, National Park Service, and FWS:

• White River Facility, Mt. Rainier National Park,

Washington – A 15.5 kilowatt photovoltaic system

provides power for housing, water pumping, a

ranger station, an entrance station, and restrooms;

• Solvilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Arizona – The

site converted windmills to solar pumps for well

pumping; and,

• Denali National Park, Alaska – The site

implemented fuel switching to propane and

photovoltaics to provide trickle charge to batteries

that are subject to temperatures of less than 60

degrees Fahrenheit in winter.

Purchased Renewable Energy

DOI has committed to purchase a portion of its monthly

electric power needs from wind-generated electricity,

through the Wind Source Program offered by the Public

Service Company of Colorado.

In September 2002, the FWS Great Lakes Region

developed draft “Guidelines to Avoid and Minimize

Wildlife Impacts from Wind Turbines,” to assist the

wind industry to minimize impacts to wildlife through

proper evaluation of potential Wind Resource Areas,

proper siting and design of turbines within development

areas, and pre- and post-construction research and

monitoring to identify and assess impacts to wildlife. 

As a demonstration wind project at the Eastern Neck

National Wildlife Refuge, a Bergey Excel 10-kilowatt

wind turbine was installed in March 2002. The turbine

provides power to the administrative building during

the winter months. 

Petroleum

DOI consumed 694 billion Btu of fuel oil in FY 2002,

a 35.2 percent decrease from FY 1985. LPG/propane

use was 688 billion Btu, an increase of 32 percent

compared to FY 1985. 

Water Conservation

DOI issued policy for baseline water usage in March

2000. Many of DOI’s buildings do not have metered

water consumption, so these facilities must estimate

water usage. In FY 2002, DOI reported consumption of

4.4 billion gallons of water at a cost of $10 million.

Water consumption was 220,000 gallons greater than

the 2000 baseline level. DOI has 76 facilities with

water management plans in place. 

Examples of water conservation at DOI facilities

include designing buildings with low-flow plumbing

fixtures, landscaping that emphasizes the use of native

plant species and maximizes efficient irrigation,

precipitation detection systems, and optimal timing. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

The DOI Departmental Plan identifies goals for the use

of life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis and identifies the

benefits of utilizing life-cycle costing techniques for the

purchase of energy-efficient products and purchases. 

DOI policy dictates a formal value analysis on all

capital improvement projects of $1 million or higher,

estimated construction cost, and strongly recommends

this analysis for projects greater than $500,000. 

DOI has also incorporated language into the annual

budget formulation guidance and into the five-year

deferred maintenance plan that identifies planned

energy projects and emphasizes LCC analysis. Projects

identified as cost effective are ranked in accordance

with their payback and funded within resource

limitations. Bureaus will retire inefficient equipment on

an accelerated basis where replacement results in lower

life-cycle costs. 

Facility Energy Audits

DOI prioritizes audits based on facility energy

consumption rates and water use. DOI has been an

active participant in the SAVEnergy audit working

group. In FY 2002, DOI received funding from DOE’s

SAVEnergy program for assessing the potential use of

renewable energy. During the year, 10.5 percent of

facility space was audited and, since 1992, 67 percent

of space has been audited. 

Financing Mechanisms

Seven energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs)

have been implemented at DOI, with a total contractor

investment of $13.5 million. NPS initiated an ESPC for

$1 million in FY 2002. DOI has used the SAVEne rgy

audit program to identify potential sites for ESPC

projects. 

DOI has faced low returns on investment for

prospective ESPCs, because of the relatively small size

of DOI facilities. 

A source of success for DOI has been the Green Energy

Parks Program, a partnership between DOI, NPS, and

DOE. The partnership has resulted in funding and

technical support for parks nationwide from DOE and
115

other public and private partners. The projects promote

the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy

technologies and educate park visitors about these

efforts. Four renewable energy projects were completed

in FY 2002 under the Green Energy Parks Program. 

ENERG Y STAR®

 and Other Energy-Efficient Products

DOI continues to participate with other agencies to

increase Federal agency purchase and use of energyefficient and environmentally preferable products. 

DOI also pursues the goals established in its Strategic

Plan for incorporating energy efficiency considerations

into all levels of procurement. Under the Acquisition

Intern Program, participants are provided with training

on purchasing environmentally preferable and energyefficient products and services. 

DOI’s Integrated Charge Card (Government Purchase

Card) Program Guidelines require employees to buy

recycled-content, environmentally preferable, and

energy-efficient products in accordance with Executive

Order 13123. The guide was updated in FY 2002 to

include Executive Order 13221 requirements and

Internet addresses for information on purchasing

energy-efficient products. 

DOI also has established policy that only re-refined oil

be used in its vehicles and equipment, and has

encouraged its bureaus to replace many of its gasolinefueled vehicles with alternative fueled vehicles. DOI

has procured 80,000 gallons of domestically produced

biodiesel for motor vehicle fleet use in Washington,

D.C. 

ENERG Y STAR® Buildings

DOI has requested its bureaus to consider office

buildings that could qualify as ENERGY STAR®

buildings. One DOI bureau has developed a draft policy

that would require any new construction or

rehabilitation of buildings to be consistent with industry

standard building ratings, such as the Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM) Green

Building Rating System, and be ENERGY STAR®

compliant.

Sustainable Building Design

DOI’s Green Energy Parks program provides an

excellent opportunity to deploy sustainable energy

technologies into the National Parks. More than 60

visitor centers are incorporating low-cost projects such

as replacing high-volume water fixtures, purchasing

solar power generation and installing solar lighting,

upgrading lighting with motion detectors and

occupancy sensors, installing or replacing insulation,

and installing water conserving toilets. With more than

260 million visitors each year, the parks present an

unparalleled opportunity to educate the public about the

importance and promise of green energy. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

DOI’s Strategic Plan for Greening includes provisions

that DOI must ensure that leased building space

incorporates sustainable design, green products and

services, recycling, energy management and water

conservation in building development and operation. 

Highly Efficient Systems

DOI has used many tools to identify the potential use of

highly efficient systems, including the use of biomass,

geothermal, or other renewable energy sources. The

National Business Center used the LEEDTM rating

system to provide guidance for a renovation project

that began in 2002. Bureaus analyze the potential for

use of district energy systems and other highly efficient

systems in new construction or retrofit projects.

Combined heat and power systems are to be considered

when upgrading and assessing facility power needs.

Other steps include incorporation of certification

procedures to ensure that major projects are reviewed

for energy efficiency. 

Off-Grid Generation

In FY 2002, the BLM Red Hills Pumping Station in

Idaho used photovoltaic panels for a water pumping

station. The FWS Petit Manan National Wildlife

Refuge in Maine also used solar power for island cabins

for the Seabird Restoration Project. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

DOI’s Bureaus have been instructed to adopt aggressive

strategies to minimize the use of electricity during peak

load periods. Strategies implemented include: specific

identification of short- and long-term electricity load

reduction measures, monitoring of total facility

demand, strengthened coordination with local utilities,

and enhanced communications with employees about

the benefits and best practices for energy efficiency.

G. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ)

Management and Administration

The Assistant Attorney General for Administration is

the Senior Energy Official for the Department of Justice

(DOJ). Members of the DOJ energy team represent the

facilities and administrative, procurement services,

budget, finance, and personnel sections of the agency.

Management Tools

Awards

DOJ implemented a combined Energy and

Environmental Awards program during FY 2002 to

recognize excellence in implementing Executive Order

13123. DOJ employees are nominated for the Federal

Energy and W ater Management Awards and are

recognized within the agency for outstanding

performance.

Performance Evaluations

The performance evaluation of the DOJ energy

program manager includes performance measures for

the successful implementation of Executive Order

13123. DOJ is considering expanding this element to

other energy team members and appropriate employees.

Performance evaluations for the in-house engineering

staff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also

include performance measures for energy management.

Training

DOJ conducts meetings with its bureaus to disseminate

energy information, and provides direction and

assistance to the bureaus to meet energy efficiency

goals and requirements. Energy conservation remains

an important topic at the Facilities Management

Training Courses and at the National Facilities

Managers Conference. 

Showcase Facilities

Due to the nature of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)

mission and security requirements, it is not feasible to

designate prisons as Showcase facilities. The BOP

complies with national model codes for construction

and mandates the use of life-cycle costing in the

selection of energy consuming systems. Security issues

also preclude the FBI from obtaining the designation

for its facilities. The DOJ strives to designate at least

one Showcase facility per year. Potential candidates

include the Batavia, New York, Federal Detention

Facility, built with energy-efficient materials and

equipment; the Krome Service Processing Center in

Florida; and the Border Patrol Station in Remey, Puerto

Rico, both currently in the design phase. When built,

these two facilities will incorporate energy-efficient

materials and use solar energy. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, DOJ reported a 40.8 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

A 2.1 percent decrease in gross energy consumption

from FY 2001 levels was achieved while the facilities’

net square footage remained almost constant. The BOP,

with 88.6 percent of DOJ’s total space, is continuing

with efforts to meet the reduction goals. 

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

DOJ’s industrial and laboratory facilities are large data

centers, FBI laboratories, the FBI Headquarters facility,

and the FBI training facility in Quantico, Virginia. The

facilities operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Several energy efficiency projects have been

undertaken at these locations to improve HVAC

systems, lighting, and electrical distribution. New data

centers have been constructed using energy-efficient

equipment and construction materials. Future plans

include the relocation of FBI laboratories into a newly

constructed energy-efficient facility, and involvement

in the Laboratories for the 21st Century program. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

The Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) in Phoenix,

Arizona, uses solar energy for water heating. The

project was accomplished through an energy savings

performance contract (ESPC) in FY 1999, and plans to

expand the contract are underway. The BOP is also

working on using the contracting tool for a solar water

system at the FCI in La Tuna, Texa s, and for a solar

water-heating system and wind generation projects at

the FCIs in Englewood, Colorado, and Victorville,

California. 

BOP has contracted with a local utility company to use

the landfill methane gas resource located at the Federal

Prison Camp in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. The project

was delayed in FY 2002 and is now expected to

become operational during FY 2003 or early FY 2004.

Petroleum

The DOJ has several projects underway to reduce the

use of petroleum in its facilities. The BOP has a solar

hot water system at FCI in Phoenix, Arizona. The FBI

is converting its central heating and cooling plant at

Quantico, Virginia, from fuel oil to natural gas, and the

Immigration and Natura lization Service is

implementing a geothermal heat pump project at its

U.S. Virgin Islands facility.
117

The BOP is continuing efforts to reduce the use of

petroleum within its facilities by using alternative fuels

where applicable. The use of life-cycle cost (LCC)

analysis has also limited the use of petroleum-based

fuels.

Water Conservation

DOJ has placed an increased emphasis on

implementing Department of Energy (DOE)-established

best management pra ctices to reduce water

consumption at DOJ facilities. 

The BOP has completed a total of 80 energy and water

conservation surveys of its facilities. Many of the water

conservation opp ortunities identified can be

implemented as extensions of regular maintenance

programs. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

The BOP mandates the use of LCC analysis. LCC

analyses are conducted on all projects involving

replacement of major energy-consuming equipment,

new construction, renovation, and expansion.

Financing Mechanisms

The BOP has taken part in rebate programs and utility

incentives to complete energy conservation projects.

The cost savings from the efforts allow for the funding

of additional projects. The BOP is working with DOE

and the local utility company on a utility energy service

contract (UESC) at the FCI in Englewood, Colorado,

and is reviewing additional sites for potential UESCs.

The BOP entered into an ESPC in FY 1996 at the FCI

in Phoenix, Arizona. The delivery order provided for

the installation of a solar energy system that will supply

a large percentage of the hot water for the facility.

Operation began in FY 1999. Energy cost savings for

FY 2001 were estimated to be more than $61,000, with

an additional $500 per month in savings due to

decreased maintenance and service to the system. The

BOP is evaluating the potential to replicate this type of

project in additional facilities. ESPCs are also being

considered for the FCI in Victorville, California.

All DOJ real property-holding bureaus have the

management structure and authority to implement

ESPCs, and they are encouraged to take full advantage

of alternative financing tools. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

DOJ procurement officials purchase ENERGY STAR®

products whenever available.

ENERG Y STAR® Buildings

The INS has plans to designate an ENERGY STAR®

building during FY 2003.

Sustainable Building Design

DOJ bureaus incorporate sustainable design principles

into new design and construction projects. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

The General Services Administration model lease

provisions are used by DOJ in new leases and renewals.

Water Conservation

DOJ plans to increase its emphasis on implementing

best management pra ctices to reduce wa ter

consumption at DOJ facilities nationwide.

H. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (DOL)

Management and Administration

In the Department of Labor (DOL), the Assistant

Secretary for Administration and Management is the

Senior Official for energy conservation and energy

management, and provides overall management of the

agency’s energy team. The other members of the

agency energy team are the Director, Business

Operations Center; and representatives from DOL’s

procurement, budget, legal, and facilities management

departments.

DOL’s energy team also consists of representatives

from the Occup ationa l Safety and He alth

Administrati on, the Employment Standards

Administration, the Job Corps, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics, the Employme nt and Tra ining

Administration, and the Mine Safety and Health

Administration.

Management Tools

Awards 

Thomas Pruitt, Director of Facilities Management,

received DOL’s first Energy Award at the Secretary of

Labor’s Annual Awards Ceremony in April 2002 for

his significant contribution to energy conservation at

DOL. This award will be presented annually to

individuals or teams who have made significant

contributions in energy conservation at DOL.

Performance Evaluations

DOL Senior Energy Officials’ and team members’

performance standards will reflect appropriate measures

to accomplish goals and objectives of Executive Order

13123. 

Training

In FY 2002, training was provided to Job Corps’

engineering support contract employees and regional

office employees involved in energy consumption

projects. Training included offerings from the Federal

Energy Management Program and EPA, and seminars

provided by professional associations and advocacy

organizations. Energy team members were also

encouraged to attend energy conferences and participate

in e-training. DOL’s outreach information to employees

during Energy Awareness Month included an exhibit at

the Frances Perkins Building.

Showcase Facilities 

Although there were no DOL Showcase facilities

identified in FY 2002, plans continued for designation

of the Potomac Job Corps Center. This center was

identified as a potential Showcase facility during FY

2001. A geothermal heat pump is in the development

plans for the center, with the potential to save

approximately $520,000 during the life of the project,

with a nine-year payback on investment. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, DOL reported a 11.0 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

Renewable Energy

 

Self-Generated Renewable Energy 

Job Corps Centers were evaluated for potential

renewable energy projects in the Super Energy Savings

Performance Contract (ESPC) audits. No opportunities

were identified as economically viable.

Purchased Renewable Energy

Utility contracts are negotiated by the individual Job

Corps Centers. The energy audit process has not

identified any available utility programs that offer

opportunities to purchase renewable or green energy. A

significant percentage of electricity however, is

produced by hydropower from the Pacific Northwest.

The amount of consumption, however, has not been

quantified. 

Petroleum

Many centers have converted fuel oil heating systems

to propane as buildings have been modernized and the

total building square footage increased. DOL reported

consumption of 1.1 million gallons of fuel oil during

FY 2002, a 60 percent decrease compared to FY 1985,

and 5 percent less than in 2001. Propane use was

419,000 gallons, 127 percent greater than in FY 1985,

and 1 percent less than in 2001. 

Water Conservation

DOL sites reported water consumption of 31.9 million

gallons at a cost of $38,500 during FY 2002. Water

consumption data is collected quarterly with the

center’s energy consumption information. Also, some

centers operate wells or water service is included in

their leases. These centers are not metered for water, so

consumption data is not available. For these centers,

water consumption is estimated based on square

footage. 

Design and construction projects were required to

utilize approved low-flow fixtures, such as 1.6 gallons

per flush (GPF) toilets, 1.0 GPF urinals, 2.5 gallons per

minute (GPM) shower heads, and 0.5 GPM faucet

aerators. The provisions for water conservation as
119

stated in Executive Order 13123 were incorporated in

DOL’s Design Scopes of Work.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

A life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis was required for all

construction projects implemented for Jobs Corps

Centers. All Design Scopes of Work were reviewed for

compliance with the provisions of Executive Order

13123.

Facility Energy Audits

In FY 2002, 18 Job Corps Centers were evaluated

utilizing Super ESPCs. Of these, 14 centers have been

identified for a detailed energy study.

Since 1992, 49 percent of the Job Corps Centers have

been audited. Facility energy audits were completed

utilizing SAVEnergy audits, General Services

Administration (GSA) area-wide contracts, and Super

ESPCs.

Financing Mechanisms

Two energy service companies (ESCOs) were selected

to implement Super ESPC contracts at DOL centers in

the Northeast, Southeast, and Central regions.

Negotiations are in progress with the ESCOs to proceed

with detailed energy studies for each participating

center. An ESCO selection was postponed for the

Midwest region because the centers were not of a

sufficient size for the projects to be economically viable

for the ESCOs. 

GSA area-wide contracts will be used at centers where

using the Super ESPCs or the SAVEnergy audits is not

an option. The Job Corps Centers have the advantage of

utilizing funded building deficiencies to leverage

conservation improvements where possible.

DOL’s Frances Perkins Building (FPB) continues

participation, through GSA, in a PEPCO energy

services contract which guarantees a 4 percent savings

off electrical generation charges. During FY 2002,

DOL/FPB’s savings were approximately $60,000.

Pending approval, a portion of DOL’s savings can be

used to procure a portion of its power requirements

from renewable generation resources. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

DOL is required to purchase minimum 30 percent postconsumer content paper. Some DOL contracts have

incorporated energy-efficient criteria into contract

specifications. The purchase and use of recycled carpet

and other recycled products continues at DOL. DOL

uses energy-efficient lighting and signs throughout the

Frances Perkins Building. All new purchases of

computers and peripherals are ENERGY STAR®

compliant.

Sustainable Building Design

Sustain able buildin g design standards were

incorporated into Design Scopes of Work issued for

construction and renovations on Job Corps Center

facilities. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

Currently there are no special provisions for leased

property. Independent contractors are responsible for

utility arrangements. Facility systems are reviewed in

the pre-selection process. Operating cost for all facility

issues are considered.

Highly Efficient Systems

GSA has scheduled DOL’s Frances Perkins Building

for chiller replacement. The Job Corps Centers have not

identified any highly efficient systems. The Super

ESPC projects and the SAVEnergy audits were used to

identify any potential opportunities. 

Off-Grid Generation

The energy audit process was used to identify

opportunities to utilize off-grid alternatives.

SAVEnergy Audits have identified three Job Corps

Centers in Puerto Rico with potential to use solar water

heaters. 

Electric Load Reduction Measures

DOL participated in PEPCO’s Curtailment Load

Program at the Frances Perkins Building.

The Job Corps Centers have relatively small buildings

used for education, residences, and administrative

support. As such, there were no opportunities found for

load reduction measures in the energy audits performed

in FY 2002.

I. DEPARTMENT OF STATE (STATE)

Management and Administration

The Department of State (State) has designated the

Assistant Secretary for Administration as the Senior

Energy Official, responsible for ensuring effective

integration of energy and water conservation measures

in State activities and initiatives. 

The Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Operations;

the Director of the Office of Overseas Buildings

Operations; and a team of specialists in procurement,

legal, budget, management, and technical areas assist

the Senior Energy Official. They expedite and

encourage the use of appropriations, energy savings

performance contracts (ESPCs), alternative financing

mechanisms, and other initiatives to advance

compliance with Executive Order 13123. 

Management Tools

Awards

State uses several employee incentive programs to

reward exceptional performance in implementing

Executive Order 13123. Financial awards include the

Extra Mile, Franklin Awards, and awards given in

conjunction with performance evaluations. 

Performance Evaluations

Position descriptions of employees with responsibilities

for energy conservation include requirements for

implementing strategies designed to meet the goals of

Executive Order 13123. The performance evaluations

of these employees include assessments of their

activities in these areas. 

Training

State employees are encouraged to attend training to

implement Executive Order 13123. 

Showcase Facilities

State has two Showcase facilities. The first is the

National Foreign Affairs Training Center (NFATC),

Arlington, Virginia. The facility uses energy-efficient

lighting, variable speed drives, motion sensors, and

daylighting schemes. The second Showcase facility, the

Florida Regional Center, Oakland Park, Florida, uses

photovoltaic (PV) cells to power the parking lot and

exterior building lighting. In addition, a solar trough

supplies hot water for the facility. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, State re-categorized parts of its building

inventory which resulted in a 45.9 increase in energy

consumption from FY 1985 for its standard buildings

when measured in Btu per gross square foot. The

increase in energy intensity reflects changes in the

types of buildings reported in this category between the

two years. Overall energy consumption has also risen

due to increased activity related to recent terrorism and

security concerns. 

Exempt Facilities

State has classified the Harry S Truman (Main State)

Building, Building C at the Charleston Regional Center,

and the Potomac Lot as exempt facilities. In FY 2002,

four formerly exempt facilities were classified as

standard buildings. These were the Columbia Plaza,

International Chancery Center, the Blair House, and the

Beltsville Information Center. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

The PV array and solar trough at the Florida Regional

Center generate approximately 159 million Btu per year

for lighting and hot water heating use. 

In FY 2002, State tested the installation of solar PV

lighting at the Beltsville Information Management

Center for parking lot lighting. The test was

unsuccessful because the equipment could not provide

sufficient light for security cameras. 

Million Solar Roofs 

The solar roof on the Florida Regional Center is a solar

trough hot water heating unit. 

Water Conservation

State has installed water saving devices and curtailed

exterior watering for plants, grass, and shrubbery in

facilities. State water consumption is not measured at

Federal facilities in Washington, D.C. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

State dedicates a portion of its annual capital budget to

energy conservation improvements for projects that

meet the Energy Policy Act criteria for life-cycle cost

effectiveness. State has installed solar PV panels for

electrical power supply and solar troughs for hot-water

supply, which has a 17-year payback. The Department

will continue to install solar equipment when the lifecycle cost (LCC) is close to the 15-year payback goals

established in Executive Order 13123. The Department

also will retire inefficient equipment on an accelerated

basis when replacement results in lower life-cycle

costs. 
121

Facility Energy Audits

Approximately 94 percent of the available space in

State’s inventory has been surveyed at least once. The

Harry S. Truman Building and the NFATC have been

audited numerous times.

The Department will procure audit services in FY 2003

for the remainder of the properties in its inventory,

which include mostly warehouses and new buildings. In

addition, partial audits for energy technology

installation will be done for smaller building projects.

Financing Mechanisms

State has awarded three ESPCs. The first ESPC

delivery order was for an electronic relamping project

at the Harry S. Truman Building facility, begun in FY

1996. The last task order of the ESPC was completed in

November 2001. 

The second ESPC, the Beltsville Information

Management ESPC, was completed in FY 2000 with

the operational activation of the heat exchange project

to reclaim heat from the air conditioning unit for winter

heating. 

The third ESPC, at the NFATC, was also completed in

FY 2000. The project replaced every lighting fixture in

the complex and upgraded HVAC systems by installing

variable speed controllers on the air handler motors and

integrating communication to an energy management

control system. 

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

State has distributed catalogs of ENERGY STAR® and

other energy-efficient products to purchasing personnel.

ENERGY STAR® Buildings

State pursues design and construction methods that

result in energy-efficient facilities, including meeting

environmental criteria consistent with the ENERGY

STAR® program. 

Sustainable Building Design

State encourages the adoption of sustainable building

practices by training staff in the use of the U.S. Green

Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEEDTM) as a framework for

sustainability analysis, developing sustainability

standards for projects, and providing opportunities for

vendors of sustainable products to present their

products to State personnel. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

State leases are secured through the General Services

Administration (GSA), which considers energy and

water efficiency factors when procuring space. 

Off-Grid Generation

State will evaluate off-grid generation by testing the

capability of by-product steam generation for the Harry

S. Truman Building. 

State is negotiating with GSA to have fuel cells for the

electrical and hot water power source for two cottages

on the NFATC property, if life-cycle economic

justification can be reasonably determined. GSA has

been funded for renovation cost of the project.

Preliminary analysis indicates that a payback of less

than 20 years is obtainable. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

All State facilities have developed plans for 10, 20, and

30 percent electrical load reduction in accordance with

the President’s May 3, 2001 Memorandum for Energy

Conservation at Federal facilities. 

Water Conservation

Water saver wash basin fixtures, automatic urinal

flushing devices, and other water-saving devices have

been installed in State facilities.

J. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) 

Management and Administration

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is organized

into 12 operating administrations, with seven that

operate facilities and the Transportation Administrative

Service Center, which manages the headquarters

building. Each of these operating administrations has

active energy and water management programs.

The Assistant Secretary for Administration is the

designated Senior Agency Official responsible for

implementation of energy and environmental

requirements at DOT.

DOT established a technical support team at the

headquarters level to assist the operating

administrations to implement the requirements of

National Energy Conservation Policy Act and

Executive Order 13123. The team consists of the DOT

energy manager and procurement policy, budget

operations, and general counsel representatives. Each of

the operating administrations has also developed similar

structures within their organizations.

Management Tools

Awards

Within DOT, incentive awards are widely used to

reward conscientious and inno vative energy

management activities. Each year, the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) presents an Administrator’s

Environmental Excellence Award. 

In FY 2002, the FAA recognized the Southern and

Great Lakes regional energy managers and an

administrative officer at the Aeronautical Center for

outstanding achievements. Additionally, six employees

received the FAA Administrator’s Award for

Environmental Excellence. 

At the FAA’s Aeronautical Center, letters of

appreciation and certificates are given for noteworthy

contributions. In addition, two employees received You

Have the Power awards in FY 2002 in recognition of

their exemplary contributions. 

As an incentive for the implementation of proactive

energy efficiency and conservation measures, the Coast

Guard offers public recognition, the ENERGY STAR®

building plaque, and unit operational budget incentives.

Performance Evaluations 

DOT’s operating administrationsrequire the addition of

energy and environmental re sponsibilities to

management position descriptions as they are updated.

FAA’s Air Traffic Service is preparing an energy

conservation performance goal for inclusion in the

Airway Facilities Senior Executives Performance

Agreements. 

Training 

With limited training and travel funds, DOT relies

heavily on training opportunities offered by the

Department of Energy (DOE), the General Services

Administration (GSA), and the Department of Defense.

The FAA Airway Facilities Energy Management

Program Office funded, organized, and facilitated two

national training workshops in FY 2002. The winter

workshop included education and training on

sustainable design, light emitting diode (LED)

technology, and efficient HVAC design. The summer

workshop, held in conjunction with DOE’s Energy

2002 Workshop and Exposition, included education and

training on ENERGY STAR® buildings, bill scanning, and

a demonstration of the latest in FAA-approved LED

obstruction and runway lighting.

Showcase Facilities

The Fort Lauderdale Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT)

was designated a Showcase facility in FY 2002. The

Fort Lauderdale ATCT was retrofitted with the

installation of a new generator. The A/C units were

replaced, new air handlers were installed, and the

pneumatic control system was replaced with a new,

state-of-the-art electronic system that monitors and

controls all of the zones. The roof, water fountains,

water heaters, refrigerators, and many other units were

replaced with energy-efficient equipment. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

During FY 2002, DOT reported a 23.9 percent

decrease in energy consumption from FY 1985 for its

standard buildings when measured in Btu per gross

square foot. Records of increased use of electricity and

fuel oil were partially offset by reductions in natural gas

usage in the standard building category reported by

FAA and the Coast Guard. DOT received credit for

purchases of 12.3 million Btu of renewable electricity.

This lowered the energy intensity of its standard

buildings from 108,805 Btu/GSF to 108,804 Btu/GSF.

Exempt Facilities 

DOT exempts FAA mission critical electronic systems

for air traffic control within the continental United

States. DOT performs energy and water audits and

implements cost effective conservation projects in

exempt facilities. Energy use reduction planning and

conservation measures are being implemented for

exempt spaces, as well as for facilities in the standard

building category.

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use 
123

Jet fuel used by the Coast Guard and FAA represents

the majority of vehicle and equipment consumption for

DOT. Consump tion levels are highly dependent on

mission requirements and efficiency of the fleet.

Significant energy reductions have been made through

improved operations such as combining missions and

training flights. Future reductions will be made through

equipment replacement and modernization. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy 

The FAA generated approximately 234.4

megawatthours of renewable energy in FY 2002 from

a combination of photovoltaic and wind power systems.

Solar panel/battery combinations power 96 percent of

the lighted buoys and 91 percent of the lighted-fixed

aids to navigation maintained by the Coast Guard. The

Coast Guard has also installed solar water heating

systems in multiple locations, a solar roof in Boston,

Massachusetts, and a solar light house in New London,

Connecticut. The St. Lawrence Seaway Development

Corporation also utilizes solar power for all its fixed

and floating aids to navigation. 

Purchased Renewable Energy 

The FAA is purchasing renewable power in the

Northwest Mountain region.

Petroleum

In FY 2002, DOT used 56 percent less fuel oil and 1

percent less LPG compared to the 1985 baseline. Since

1985, many DOT facilities have switched to natural gas

for heating. 

Water Conservation 

Accurate water consumption data has been difficult to

develop for the FAA and the Coast Guard. This is due

to the wide variation in units of measure used by water

authorities, and the lack of metering at some locations.

Similarly, DOT’s attempts to develop a baseline

consumption figure have been hampered by similar

issues.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis is formalized in DOT’s

Transportation Acquisition Manual (TAM). Each of the

operating administrations has requirements for LCC

analysis in alteration, construction, and the procurement

of energy consuming equipment. Employees also use

the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s

LCC materials and software. FAA’s Mike Monroney

Aeronautical Center has a complete staff of licensed

architects and professional engineers who provide

design and construction services in accordance with

Executive Order 13123 and other mandates. 

Facility Energy Audits

Approximately 72 percent of DOT facility square

footage was audited by the end of FY 2002. DOT first

audited large facilities, and is now auditing smaller

facilities. This method is resulting in a lower percentage

of square footage completed each year. 

Financing Mechanisms

The Coast Guard obligated $1.4 million in FY 2002

towards its Facility Energy Efficiency Fund (FEEF)

projects. FEEF projects are low-cost, high return-oninvestment facility retrofits. These projects yielded an

annual estimated savings of $300,000. 

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

DOT’s TAM requires the purchase of products in the

top 25 percent of efficiency. Energy efficiency criteria

have been incorporated into the FAA In-Service Master

Specification for new systems. 

Sustainable Building Design

All new FAA buildings are designed to exceed the

requirements for ENERGY STAR® building certification.

The FAA’s Northwest Mountain region is incorporating

sustainable building features into several new designs.

In addition, the Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City

is using sustainable building principles while designing

its security control center and the screening facility.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

DOT has been working with GSA to incorporate energy

efficiency and sustainable design principles into the

lease for the new DOT headquarters facility. 

Off-Grid Generation

In FY 2002, FAA’s Northwest Mountain region entered

into an agreement with the Construction Engineering

Research Laboratory to participate in a Government

and industry test bed program for proton exchange

membrane fuel cell technology. Avista Laboratories

proposed to test a 1-kilowatt fuel cell at a remote radio

site on McCord Air Force Base. The fuel cell will be

used to charge the uninterruptible power supply battery

system in the event of a power outage. 

Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is

the Coast Guard’s Showcase facility. In coordination

with the Coast Guard Research and Development

Center, as well as industry and regional governments,

Air Station Cape Cod has developed a fuel cell system

designed to provide electric power and heat to the base.

This 250-kilowatt, molten carbonate fuel cell will

reduce emissions, fuel consumption, and facility lifecycle costs.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures
124

The Coast Guard’s regional headquarters in Alameda,

California, the largest agency facility in the state, has

taken an active role in preparing load reduction

measures to help provide grid relief during Stage 2 and

Stage 3 alerts. This included the development of load

reduction procedures for its own location as well as

assisting other California facilities in preparing their

responses. Attention is given to protect the mission

execution ability, while providing vital grid relief.

Facility managers agency wide have developed energy

consumption reduction measures that can quickly be

implemented during power emergencies. 

Water Conservation

The Coast Guard began monitoring water consumption

through the FASER system located at its finance center.

In FY 2002, FAA added water consumption as another

category under the National Energy Management

Reporting System, which will enable the agency to

monitor savings from water conservation more

accurately.

K. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY (Treasury)

Management and Administration

The Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Senior

Agency Official is the Acting Assistant Secretary for

Management and Chief Financial Officer. Each of the

Treasury bureaus has designated a Senior Bureau

Energy Official to direct their energy program. The

Senior Agency and Bureau Officials provide policy

guidance for meeting the goals of Executive Order

13123. Treasury’s Departmental-level energy teams

include staff from the procurement, legal, budget,

management, and technical sections of Treasury. 

Management Tools

Awards

Treasury has been utilizing the existing performance

awards system to recognize individual employees. The

Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) and the U.S.

Mint (Mint) use their gain-sharing programs to award

cash for energy savings. Two Treasury bureaus, the

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Mint, won Federal

Energy and Water Management Awards in FY 2002.

Performance Evaluations

All Treasury energy managers now have an energy

management element in their performance criteria. The

Treasury Office of the Inspector General and the

Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration

conducted an audit of Treasury’s energy program in FY

2002 resulting in increased oversight of Bureau

programs by the Office of Safety, Health, and

Environment (OSHE) and an added emphasis on

implementing energy saving retrofits and new projects.

Training 

In FY 2002, Treasury sent 16 employees to energy

training at a cost of $22,800. Additionally, in an effort

to improve the quality of the information the Bureaus

submit to the Department, OSHE sponsored a class on

how to complete the Annual Energy Report for the

Bureaus. Treasury takes advantage of Federal Energy

Management Program courses whenever available

because of their high quality and low cost. Energy

training are maintained on the Office of Procurement’s

and OSHE’s Web sites to assist the Bureaus. Treasury

remains an active participant in the You Have the

Power energy awareness campaign, nominating one

“Energy Champion” in FY 2002. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, Treasury reported a 23.9 percent decrease

in energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

Treasury received credit for purchases of 5.1 billion Btu

of renewable electricity. This lowered the energy

intensity of its standard buildings from 76,390 Btu/GSF

to 75,610 Btu/GSF.

During FY 2002, Treasury and its Bureaus occupied

approximately 55 million square feet of space, the

majo rity of which was in General Services

Administration (GSA) assigned facilities. Treasury

reports energy statistics only for the Treasury-owned

and GSA-delegated space for which it controls the

utilities. In FY 2002, Treasury reported consumption

for 6.5 million square feet in the standard buildings

category. 

Some 2.0 million square feet of space for the Internal

Revenue Service (IRS), the Bureau of the Public Debt

(BPD), and the Financial Management Service (FMS)

was managed directly by the Bureaus under the GSA

Buildings Delegations Program. IRS occupied the

majority of delegated space for standard buildings.

Treasury-owned or leased standard buildings consisted

of 4.5 million square feet of space in Departmental

Offices (DO) (the Main Treasury and Annex buildings),

the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

(FLETC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

(OCC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and the

U.S. Secret Service (USSS). FY 2002 was the first year

that OCC has reported. In FY 2002, all of the U.S.

Customs Service’s (Customs) facilities were

reclassified from standard buildingsto industrial/energy

intensive buildings. 

In FY 2002, DO continued the renovation of the Main

Treasury Building which includes energy-efficient

windows and updated wiring and lighting. OTS updated

50 percent of their variable frequency drives in their

HVAC system.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities 

Treasury reports energy consumption for 10 million

square feet of industrial space. The IRS under the GSA

Buildings Delegations Program directly managed 5.6

million square feet of space. The remaining 4.4 million

square feet of space belongs to the Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), BEP, Customs, the Mint,

and USSS. The Customs’ facilities were reclassified to

industrial in FY 2002. The lack of a common unit of

production across the Bureaus continues to require the

use of the Btu per square foot as the reporting unit for

Treasury’s industrial/energy intensive facilities. 

For FY 2002, Treasury’s industrial facilities achieved

a 15.9 percent reduction in energy consumption over

the FY 1990 baseline on a Btu per square foot basis. 
126

Customs is having difficulty achieving energy

reductions due to expanding operation requirements

since September 11, 2001, including:

• Increased border security requirements with

expanded hours of operation to 24 hours per day at

Border Stations;

• Increased security with Customs installation of

energy-intensive equipment such as X-ray Gamma

Ray non-intrusive detection equipment at its

Border Stations, while facilitating trade through

streamlining the inspection process;

• Increased lighting levels at Border Stations to

improve safety and security; and,

• Increased air operations.

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

Treasury tactical vehicle and equipment fuel use is

predominately accounted for by Customs aircraft

operations. The FLETC’s pursuit training vehicle use is

reported in this category and BEP reported a small

amount of gasoline and diesel fuel used in armored

vehicles transporting currency. 

Consumption of gasoline and jet fuel have increased

significantly due to the increased training load at

FLETC and increased mission requirements for

Customs since September 11, 2001.

Renewable Energy

The Mint purchased 1,500 megawatthours of wind

power at the Denver, Colorado, Mint during FY 2002.

Petroleum

Treasury continues the conversion of oil to natural gas

or renewable sources wherever economically justified.

The IRS Andover Service Center completed the

conversion of its three low-pressure boilers from oil to

natural gas.

Water Conservation

In FY 2002, Treasury consumed 647 million gallons of

water at a cost of $2.7 million. Six percent of Treasury

facilities met the requirement for water management

plans and implementation of best management

practices. The consumption was up from FY 2001;

however, this is attributed primarily to more complete

data reporting this year.

BEP continued to examine the feasibility of recycling

water wipe solution for printing presses. If feasible, the

process may allow a 90 to 95 percent reduction in water

use. Currently 70,000 gallons per day are used. The

Bureau also renovated its restrooms, installing waterconserving fixtures and energy-efficient lighting. USSS

continues to install motion-sensored water faucets in all

new buildings and retrofits of several older buildings at

its training center. The Mint reported implementing

conservation measures that are saving 3 million gallons

of water annually.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Treasury’s energy directive specifically requires the use

of life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis for all energy projects

and procurement. During FY 2002, all Bureaus

continued to use LCC analysis for their energy projects.

For example, all Mint facility projects with a cost of

$25,000 or more are subject to the “Project Approval

Request” process which includes the LCC and benefit

analysis. In addition, the following are completed for

each project:

• Alternatives and Assumptions,

• Return-on-Investment,

• Investment Analysis and Recommendation, and

• Net Present Value.

Facility Energy Audits

In FY 2002, Treasury performed energy audits in 11

percent of its space. This brings the total space audited

to 95 percent since 1992. The IRS Andover Service

Center was audited by the Bay State Gas Company as

part of a potential utility energy service contract

(UESC) in FY 2004. The DOE-funded industrial audits

at the BEP and Mint continued in FY 2002. By the end

of the year, the Western Currency Facility had

implemented four of the no cost/low cost

recommendations. USSS audited their computer facility

identifying a possible air conditioner replacement

project. OSHE performed an audit of FMS’ Liberty

Loan Building and identified a lighting retrofit project

for FY 2003.

Financing Mechanisms

In FY 2002, Treasury did not execute any ESPCs or

utility energy service contracts (UESCs). The four

non-appropriated bureaus continued to self-fund their

projects to save financing costs. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

Treasury has implemented a policy of purchasing only

ENERGY STAR®-compliant computers since 1995. The

Department also purchases ENERGY STAR® copiers and

fax machines, and follows the produc t

recommendations in DOE’s Energy Efficient Products

Guide. Links to the DOE, GSA, and Defense Logistic

Agency Web sites have been added to OSHE’s and the

Office of Procurement’s Web sites to assist the bureaus

in obtaining information on energy-efficient products.

ENERG Y STAR®

 Buildings

OTS applied for and received ENERGY STAR®

designation for its Washington, D.C., headquarters

building. The new USSS field office in Miami, Florida,
127

was designed to ENERGY STAR®

 standards. The

headquarters building for OCC was evaluated for

ENERGY STAR® certification, but did not qualify.

Sustainable Building Design

Treasury has mandated use of the Whole Building

Design Guide for its new facilities. The new ATF

Headquarters building is being designed to meet or

exceed the Leadership in Environmental and Energy

Design (LEEDTM) silver level. The building will

incorporate daylighting, plants on the roof, capture

rainwater for irrigation, and include high efficiency

irrigation, digital controls, individual HVAC controls,

green power use, and occupancy sensors for lighting.

ATF’s new laboratory and fire research center were

also designed following sustainable design guidelines.

GSA performs most of the design work for Treasury

facilities using the LEEDTM standards. The consultant

that designs facilities for the USSS follows sustainable

design principles for the Beltsville, Maryland, Training

Center.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

Treasury has provided Model Green Lease provisions

to each of its Bureaus, to be used at sites where

Treasury has independent leasing authority, to ensure

that GSA follows the provisions when obtaining space

for the Bureau.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

BEP replaced two refrigerated compressed air dryers at

the Washington, D.C., facility and installed a network

control system for their new chillers with an estimated

$16,000 annual savings. During FY 2002, BEP began

replacing its roof, built in 1914, with a metal standing

seam roof with increased insulation.

The BEP and Mint received free industrial audits,

through DOE’s Office of Industrial Technology,

identifying a number of cost-effective projects. The

Bureaus plan to self-fund these projects through their

revolving funds. BEP’s Western Currency Facility has

implemented four of the no-cost/low-cost measures

identified by the DOE energy audit. 

The IRS’ Brookhaven, New York Service Center

installed a new 800-ton electric chiller with direct

digital controls and a variable frequency drive on their

cooling tower. The Andover, Massachusetts Service

Center completed an audit which resulted in a proposal

for a UESC in FY 2004. 

The Mint began replacement of old air compressors and

continued upgrading HVAC control in their facilities.

Highly Efficient Systems

BEP replaced two old compressed air dryers with new

water-cooled refrigerated compressed air dryers. An

additional benefit of this upgrade was the reduction in

the use of ozone-depleting substances (R-22) in the old

system. BEP also installed a Carrier control system

called “ChillerVisor” on its four new chillers to better

manage their energy use under partial loads. OTS

upgraded 50 percent of the variable speed drives in the

HVAC system. 

Off-Grid Generation

Treasury did not install any off-grid generation

capability in FY 2002. BEP continues to generate steam

from burning security paper. USSS is considering the

use of solar outdoor lighting systems and solar panels

on the roofs of the guard booths.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

Every Treasury-owned or fully delegated facility

continues to follow the electrical load reduction plan

developed in FY 2001 based on DOE’s “Plan of Action

Energy Conservation at Federal Facilities” and the load

reduction measures detailed on FEMP’s Web site. Peak

demand reduction and conservation awareness

materials from the You Have the Power campaign were

distributed throughout Treasury. All Treasury bureau

facilities participated in their utility load reductions

programs.

L. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA)

Management and Administration

The Assistant Secretary for Management serves as the

Senior Energy Official for the Department of Veterans

Affairs (VA). The agency’s energy team is composed

of representatives from the technical, legal,

procurement, and budget sections. 

Management Tools

Awards

VA initiated an Employee Incentive Awards Program

in 1975, and since that time has recognized individuals

and medical centers for their energy savings efforts. VA

also participates in the Medical Center Director,

Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) Director

and/or Secretary of the VA Energy Conservation

Awards, and the Department of Energy (DOE) Federal

Energy Management Program (FEMP) Federal Energy

and Water Management Awards. 

Performance Evaluations

VA includes energy conservation achievements in

performance evaluations for its energy engineers. The

chief of engineering service at the medical centers is

responsible for overall energy management, and

performance evaluations are based on implementation

of Executive Order 13123. 

Training

VA developed a handbook that consolidated energy

conservation methods, concepts, and evaluation

procedures used by facility engineers. VA compiled the

most effective technology and energy conservation

opportunities in a concise, usable format. 

VA has conducted many regional workshops and

teleconferences. Engineering staff also participate in

training offered by the Association of Energy Engineers

in cooperation with DOE. In FY 2002, staff also

participated in energy savings performance contract

(ESPC) training courses. 

VA also has an Energy Awareness Program, which

educates employees on energy conservation measures

throughout the year. 

Showcase Facilities

During FY 2002, one VA facility was designated as an

Federal Energy Saver Showcase for achieving savings

through energy efficiency and renewable energy

technologies. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, VA reported a 13.5 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

The rise in electrical consumption during FY 2002 is

attributed to the installation of information technology

equipment and state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Tactical Vehicles and Equipment Fuel Use 

In FY 2002, VA reported consumption of 5.2 million

gallons of gasoline and 1 million gallons of diesel fuel

for its vehicles and equipment. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

VA has several operational solar hot water heating

systems at medical center facilities. 

Petroleum

In FY 2002, VA used 8.6 million gallons of fuel oil, a

decrease of 55 percent from FY 1985 levels. More than

83,000 gallons of LPG/propane was used, nearly 50

percent below FY 1985 levels. 

Water Conservation

VA water consumption in FY 2002 was 9.4 billion

gallons, at a cost of more than $18 million. Many VA

medical centers are implementing best management

practices to reduce water consumption, and medical

centers have been directed to work with energy service

companies to implement water conservation projects in

conjunction with ESPC projects. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

VA’s policy is to fund only projects that are costeffective based on life-cycle cost analysis. Medical

centers use the analysis tool when making decisions

about products, services, construction, and other

projects. 

Facility Energy Audits

Most VA facilities received energy audits in the 1980s.

As a result, a handbook was prepared that consolidated

energy conservation methods, concepts, and evaluation

procedures for facility engineers. Medical centers that

undergo major system or infrastructure changes receive

new energy audits. During FY 2002, the medical

centers that have ESPCs in place also underwent new

energy audits as part of the contracts. 
129

Financing Mechanisms

VA uses ESPCs to implement energy projects and has

awarded many delivery orders for energy projects at

facilities throughout the country. During FY 2002, six

VA medical centers completed ESPC projects. 

By the end of FY 2002, most VISNs were in various

planning stages for implementation of ESPCs. Most

medical centers have used alternative financing tools

such as ESPCs for implementing projects. 

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

VA has asked procurement officials to purchase

ENERGY STAR® equipment where available. The VA’s

standard product specification for new and renovated

construction specifies that products be ENERGY STAR®

compliant or among the top 25 percent in energy

efficiency. 

ENERGY STAR® Buildings

During FY 2002, VA worked with DOE’s Oak Ridge

National Laboratory to identify VA medical centers that

qualify for the ENERGY STAR® label for buildings. Fortynine medical centers were identified as meeting ENERGY

STAR® criteria during a preliminary evaluation. VA

expects that more buildings will qualify after further

evaluations. 

Sustainable Building Design

VA has integrated a “build green” strategy for its

facilities by:

• Incorporating sustainable design concepts into

solicitation requirements for architect/engineering

firms on all major VA projects;

• Participating in the U.S. Green Building Council,

National Institutes of Building Sciences, and other

organizations that promote sustainable design

principles; and,

• Continuously updating VA master specifications,

design manuals, and design guides with sustainable

design principles.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

VA incorporates energy efficiency into its lease bid

packages by:

• Encouraging lease offerors to use ESPCs or utility

agreements to achieve the ENERGY STAR®

benchmark score of 75;

• Stipulating that all newly constructed facilities

achieve ENERGY STAR® status within one year of

achieving 95 percent occupancy, and maintain that

level of performance;

• Providing lists of energy service companies

qualified for ESPC projects, plus additional

information from FEMP on energy efficiency,

renewables, and water conservation;

• Applying American Society of Heating,

Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers

requirements to its buildings; and,

• Requiring offerers to include a design concept

narrative that addresses architectural concept,

building design, quality of construction materials,

and energy efficiency. 

Highly-Efficient Systems

The VA Medical Center at Mountain Home, Tennessee,

is planning to build, operate, and maintain an on-site

energy center. The project will be the first privatelyfinanced and operated energy plant on VA property,

and the first using VA’s unique enhanced-use authority.

The energy center will use the most recent cogeneration

technologies and provide utilities to the Medical Center

and other neighboring facilities. The project will

replace existing inefficient systems with high efficiency

units, and enable the center to reduce its energy

consumption and achieve operational cost savings of

more than $15 million over the term of the lease with

no capital cost to the VA. The project will also result in

a cost avoidance of more than $3 million in major

construction funding, to be used for renovations at the

research and educational facilities located at the center.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

Most VA medical centers have emergency generators

that have been used to shave peak electrical load,

however, VA does not have a policy that mandates the

use of the generators for peak shaving.

M. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)

Management and Administration

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has

designated the Assistant Administrator for

Administration and Resources Management as the

Agency Energy and Environmental Executive. The

Senior Energy Official is supported by a national

energy team and a national energy coordinator, located

in the Sustainable Facilities Practices Branch (SFPB).

The SFPB gives full-time attention to sustainability

practices, policies, and project implementation. Key

staff in the SFPB’s energy team include the branch

chief, national energy coordinator, an energy

audit/program manager, two mechanical engineers, an

architect, and support staff.

Management Tools

Awards

EPA is an active participant in the You Have the Power

campaign and has recognized close to 30 employees as

energy champions. EPA developed a new peer awards

program to recognize and encourage energy and water

conservation among its facility managers and building

design and construction personnel. The awards honor

managers who have spearheaded projects to reduce

facility energy use and employees who have led

cutting-edge projects or partnered with SFPB to reduce

energy. 

EPA has an Agency-wide awards program. The awards

are not specifically for energy management

performance, but are more inclusive, addressing

sustainable design and resource conservation. Eleven

EPA employees received the Assistant Administrator’s

Award for Innovation: eight for their efforts in

procuring green power and three for their work on

energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) at EPA

facilities. 

Performance Evaluations

Employees who have energy management

responsibilities are evaluated annually against criteria

based on the Agency’s energy management principles.

Training

EPA uses several education and training programs to

ensure that employees are aware of the latest

technologies and opportunities to increase energy

efficiency.

The “Laboratories for the 21st Century” program

(Labs21) provides information on energy-efficient

technology alternatives for laboratory applications and

creates a forum for laboratory designers, owners, and

operators to obtain up-to-date information and support

for implementing energy-efficiency and sustainable

design projects.

During 2002, Labs21 sponsored a series of one-day

workshops on energy-efficient laboratory design and

operations. The Labs21 team designed the course to

provide a comprehensive understanding of the

opportunities to optimize the energy performance of

new and existing laboratories. 

The Labs21 annual conference included plenary and

panel sessions, which highlighted strategies and

technologies for improving energy and water efficiency

and overall environmental performance in laboratories.

EPA also conducted its annual three-day Buildings and

Facilities Conference, which all EPA facility managers

attend. Conference attendees also included facility

managers from General Services Administration

(GSA)-operated regional offices and headquarters. 

EPA has established credit card purchasing guidelines

that identify specific environmental attributes when

selecting products, such as the ENERGY STAR®

 label.

The guidelines recommend purchasing products with

recycled content, reduced packaging, energy-efficient

designs, and those containing minimal hazardous

materials or toxic chemicals. 

The Energizing EPA newsletter is an internal newsletter

that highlights EPA’s efforts to improve energy and

water efficiency at its facilities. 

Showcase Facilities

EPA’s New England Regional Laboratory in

Chelmsford, Massachusetts, was designated a Federal

Energy Saver Showcase during FY 2002. The

laboratory features numerous energy-efficient products

and techniques including: gas-fired boilers, variable air

volume ventilation systems, skylights, and occupancy

sensors. The windows are not only insulated and tinted,

but are also shaded with photovoltaic sunshades which

produce approximately 2,000 watts of solar energy

daily. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

In FY 2002, energy use at all 19 EPA laboratory

complexes decreased by almost 22.1 percent from

357 ,414 Btu per gross square foot per year in 1990 to

278,453 Btu per gross square foot in 2002. EPA’s

energy intensity for FY 2002 was adjusted to reflect

purchases of 79.6 billion Btu of renewable energy.
131

EPA has been purchasing green power since 1999. By

the end of FY 2002, EPA was using 100 percent green

power in five of its 28 reporting facilities. 

 

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

EPA has incorporated alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs)

into its nationwide fleet of more than 1,100 automotive

vehicles. In FY 2002, EPA acquired 60 additional

AFVs that use compressed natural gas, ethanol/gasoline

mixtures, or electricity, bringing the Agency’s total

AFV fleet to 324 vehicles. This helped EPA meet the

Energy Policy Act’s requirement that 75 percent of

nonexempt, new vehicles acquired by Federal agencies

must be AFVs. For the fourth straight year, EPA

exceeded this requirement by 10 percent or more. 

To meet the requirements of Executive Order 13149,

EPA began using compressed natural gas in EPA

Headquarters’ shuttle buses in January 2002. This effort

helped reduce the Agency’s petroleum use by more

than 5,000 gallons or 16 percent from the 1990

baseline. By the end of FY 2002, EPA had increased

average fleet miles per gallon by 2 miles per gallon

from the FY 1999 baseline.

The EPA Administrator has committed to continue the

Agency’s fuel efficiency efforts and increase AFV use,

directing EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air

Quality (OTAQ) and Facilities Management and

Services Division (FMSD) to work with GSA to further

improve EPA’s own fleet and to invite other Federal

and private fleets to join in the effort. In FY 2002,

FMSD and OTAQ worked on developing a new “Fleet

Excellence” fuel-efficiency program that will

encourage private-sector organizations to reduce their

fleet’s miles per gallon by 3 percent annually. 

Renewable Energy

In the summer of 1999, with assistance from GSA and

the Department of Energy (DOE), the EPA laboratory

in Richmond, California, became the first Federal

building to receive 100 percent of its electricity from

renewable sources. EPA signed a three-year contract

with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to

purchase electricity generated from an existing

geothermal plant and a new landfill gas plant. The

contract was renegotiated during 2002 and extended for

another three years. Four additional EPA facilities are

receiving 100 percent of their power from renewable

sources. 

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

EPA has undertaken a variety of activities across the

country to take advantage of self-generating sources of

renewable energy, from solar arrays to geothermal heat

pumps. Recent activities include: 

• Roof-top Solar Arrays. During April 2002, EPA

installed a photovoltaic (PV) roof, one of the two

largest on the East Coast, on top of its National

Computer Center in Research Triangle Park, North

Carolina. The 100-kilowatt system incorporates PV

cells backed with insulating polystyrene foam,

turning solar energy into usable power while

increasing the building’s thermal insulation. The

system supplies electricity to power the entire

building’s lights 24 hours per day. Since 2000,

EPA’s Region 5 Office in Chicago’s Metcalfe

Building has received renewable energy from a

solar array on the roof that provides 10 kilowatts of

power to the office building.

• Solar Wall. EPA’s laboratory in Golden, Colorado,

completed installation of a solar wall in March

2002. The transpired solar collector was installed

on the south wall of the Hazardous Materials

Building to augment the facility’s heating and

cooling system.

Purchased Renewable Energy

EPA’s facilities in Richmond, California; Golden,

Colorado; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Chelmsford,

Massachusetts; purchased 100 percent renewable

energy for the entirety of FY 2002; Manchester,

Washington’s, delivery of renewable power began

November 1, 2001, and Corvallis, Oregon, purchased

nearly 133,000 kilowatthours of green power in FY

2002. Combined, these facilities purchased 24.1 million

kilowatthours of renewable energy in 2002. This

represented 18.5 percent of EPA’s electricity purchases

for reporting laboratories. EPA has already surpassed

DOE’s voluntary goal of 5 percent renewable power

usage in Federal agencies. 

Based on these renewable power purchases, the Agency

in 2001 qualified as a Founding Partner in EPA’s Green

Power Partnership. EPA joins Fortune 500 companies,

cities, universities, and other partners to boost the

market for green power. The program recognizes

organizations committed to purchasing renewable

energy proportional to their annual electricity use.

Partners have access to a network of providers and

partners, technical information, and public recognition.

Million Solar Roofs 

Several EPA solar initiatives and project leaders have

been recognized on the DOE’s Web site as examples of

the Million Solar Roofs Initiative. EPA Region 10

laboratory in Manchester, Washington, was recognized

for its PV panels, which eliminated 50,000 tons of

carbon emissions annually. On September 19, 2002, the

National Computer Center at RTP began using its solar

panels to generate electricity. The New England

Regional Laboratory in Chelmsford, Massachusetts,
132

also began to reap the benefits of its unique solar

sunshade panels in September 2001. In addition, EPA

has funded solar panels in facilities it occupies but does

not manage, such as the Region 5 headquarters

Metcalfe Building in Chicago. The Agency’s Edison,

New Jersey; and Athens, Georgia; solar thermal

systems also qualify under this initiative.

Petroleum

In FY 2002, EPA used fuel oil in five of its reporting

laboratories. Fewer EPA facilities used fuel oil in FY

2002 than in FY 2001, because natural gas prices did

not rise as high as the previous year. As a result, some

boilers geared for natural gas burned more efficiently

than last year. Two laboratory facilities also used

propane. EPA used a total of 122,619 gallons of fuel oil

in FY 2002 and 6,960 gallons of propane.

Water Conservation

During FY 2002, EPA used 186 million gallons of

water in its 28 laboratories. EPA also made a

commitment to assessing and reducing its water use by

launching an Agency-wide water conservation

initiative. EPA implemented the water management

planning process at two facilities—its New England

Regional Laboratory in Chelmsford, Massachusetts,

and the Environmental Sciences Center in Fort Meade,

Maryland. Best management practices incorporated in

the Chelmsford laboratory when it opened in October

2002 included: water-efficient landscaping; low-flow

toilets, urinals, faucets, and showerheads; distribution

system audits and leak detection and repair; public

information and education programs; and water reuse

and recycling.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

EPA has actively pursued ESPCs and ESPC-like

arrangements to achieve improved energy and water

performance. By determining the optimal energy

conservation system based on an analysis of an entire

list of energy conservation measures (ECMs) and their

relative merits in certain combinations, and taking into

account the effect of any relevant rebate programs or

more favorable rate structures, EPA has been able to

identify and implement significant energy-efficiency

upgrades and life-cycle savings that would have gone

unnoticed under the traditional process, which

emphasized initial costs.

EPA also expanded the payback period it uses to

evaluate life-cycle cost (LCC) savings by five to ten

years. In contrast to ESPCs, these projects involve

greater project-by-project decision-making and tradeoffs when performing an LCC analysis. In a new

laboratory EPA is building in Kansas City, Kansas, the

Agency conducted extensive energy modeling of the

design documents and identified and incorporated

additional economical energy conservation measures

into the project.

During FY 2002, EPA initiated energy/mechanical

system master planning as part of the existing longterm master planning process for its facilities. In

addition to looking at future space and programmatic

needs of facilities, the Agency now works to identify

short-, intermediate-, and long-term opportunities for

more energy-efficient mechanical systems. 

Facility Energy Audits

As part of the Agency’s joint safety, health,

environmental management, energy, and water audit

process (SHEM audits), a facility’s energy and water

management practices and status are assessed. Each

major facility is audited once every three years. The

energy and water assessors identify, on a preliminary

basis, opportunities for energy and water conservation

measures. In FY 2002, three EPA facilities and offices

included energy assessments as part of SHEM audits. 

SFPB also performed more in-depth energy

assessments for several EPA laboratories. In FY 2002,

EPA developed a standard operating procedure for,

what is known as, Stage 2 energy audits, a

comprehensive review of laboratory energy use,

mechanical systems, and potential upgrades. Following

the Stage 2 audits, participating laboratories receive a

draft report of findings, complete with recommended

ECMs. Facility managers work with SFPB staff to

analyze the findings and determine future steps for

energy performance improvement. In FY 2002, Stage

2 audits were conducted at five EPA facilities.

In addition to the scheduled and Stage 2 audits, EPA

has incorporated an audit report process into the overall

ESPC project evaluation process for facilities

considering these types of contracts. Audits performed

through an ESPC tend to be more aggressive and

thorough, and often result in energy projects because

the energy service company’s payment is generated

from the savings in energy costs. 

Financing Mechanisms

EPA continues to seek opportunities to utilize ESPCs

and ESPC-like arrangements to finance the initial cost

of comprehensive energy upgrades. 

During FY 2002, work continued on an ESPC contract

at EPA’s Ada, Oklahoma, laboratory totaling more than

$4 million. In FY 2002, EPA also continued to realize

the benefits of the ESPC completed in April 2001 at its

Ann Arbor, Michigan, laboratory. In the first full year

of operation after implementing the ESPC, the Ann
133

Arbor laboratory saved more than 267,000 Btu per

gross square foot from the average of the baseline years

of FY 1993-1995. The ESPC also helped Ann Arbor

save more than 17 million gallons of water, or 74

percent from the baseline years.

In another EPA laboratory, the Agency is pursuing an

ESPC-like mechanism to finance upgrades to improve

energy performance. EPA’s Richmond, California,

laboratory signed a design contract in FY 2002 to

replace a single, oversized boiler with two smaller

boilers, install a natural gas co-generator unit to provide

electricity and hot water for laboratory operations, and

upgrade HVAC controls equipment in the facility.

Under an arrangement with the firm from which EPA

leases the building, the lessor will finance the

improvements, and EPA will convert its utility savings

into lease payments. 

EPA has also worked with other agencies to finance

projects that could lead to energy performance

improvements beyond its own offices. At the Atlanta

Federal Center, EPA and GSA co-funded a project to

sub-meter energy use where EPA occupies office space

owned and operated by GSA. The main objective of the

project is to accurately measure the energy efficiency

and cost savings of installing occupancy sensors for

lighting, occupancy-controlled surge outlets, and LED

emergency lights. The results of this study will be used

to justify cost-effective retrofits throughout this Federal

building, benefitting EPA, GSA, and other Federal

agencies.

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

EPA actively promotes the purchase of energy-efficient

products that carry the EN ERGY STAR® label. The

Agency reviews and updates its purchasing

specifications regularly and incorporates ENERGY

STAR® and other sustainable product requirements into

new lease provisions.

ENERGY STAR® Buildings

Because the ENERGY STAR® program does not address

energy-intensive facilities, such as laboratories, in its

labeling program, EPA cannot designate its 28

laboratory facilities as ENERGY STAR® buildings.

However, the Agency continues to work with GSA to

achieve the ENERGY STAR® label for its leased office

facilities. Currently, three EPA office buildings that are

owned or leased by GSA have been awarded the

ENERGY STAR®

 label. The lease on the Denver Regional

Office expires in 2004, and EPA has arranged for the

solicitation to include a requirement that any new

building meet ENERGY STAR®

 criteria, as well as many

other sustainable design requirements. 

During FY 2002, EPA undertook efforts to achieve the

ENERGY STAR®

 label at more of its office buildings

throughout the country. 

Sustainable Building Design

EPA incorporates sustainable building principles into

the siting, design, and construction of all new facilities,

as well as the renovation and maintenance of existing

facilities. Even where EPA does not own the building,

the Agency works with GSA to incorporate its holistic,

systems approach to building design and renovation

wherever possible. In fact, EPA has a Green Buildings

Vision and Policy Statement that serves as a guide for

each of these sustainable projects. Some of the EPA

facilities that are applying these principles include:

• New Consolidated Facility, Research Triangle

Park, North Carolina. In September, 2002, EPA

accepted as substantially complete its new, stateof-the-art environmental research facility. This 1.2

million gross square foot facility is EPA’s largest

construction project to date and will house 2,000

researchers and support staff. Throughout each

phase of the project, several environmental goals

were realized, including: solid waste reduction,

increased energy and water efficiency, healthy

indoor air quality levels, and natural landscapes. A

digitally controlled building automation system

works with variable speed motors, fans, and pumps

to serve only the actual energy demand, preventing

energy waste. The National Computer Center is

outfitted with approximately 2,183 photovoltaic

roof tiles, which produce an amount of power

equivalent to the electricity needed to light the

building year-round.

• Chelmsford, Massachusetts, Region 1 Laboratory.

EPA moved into its newly constructed 66,000-

square-foot New England Regional Laboratory in

October 2001. The facility received a White House

Closing the Circle Award in June 2002 for

sustainable design and recycling. Sustainable

design features included water conservation

products, such as low-flow sinks, electronic

sensors, and a rooftop rain recovery system;

energy-efficient designs included skylights, tinted

windows, photovoltaic awnings, and night system

setbacks. These and other energy-efficient features

garnered a DOE Energy Showcase Award for the

facility. From the beginning of the project,

recycling efforts were also in place.

In addition to buildings that are now open or under

construction, EPA is ensuring sustainable design

elements in new and renovated office buildings

currently under development, by working closely with

GSA in the selection of architects, builders, and other
134

contractors, as well as incorporating sustainable design

language into the solicitations for these vendors. 

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

For the past few years, EPA has been requiring “green

riders” as part of its leases. The green rider, which

includes energy and water efficiency measures and

other environmentally preferable criteria, is an

amendment to the Agency’s solicitation for offers

(SFO) for constructing or retrofitting EPA facilities. 

During FY 2002, EPA worked closely with GSA to

incorporate sustainable design elements in two lease

projects–the Boston Regional Office and the Denver

Regional Office. EPA’s SFPB assisted GSA throughout

the year in developing green rider provisions in the

Denver SFO. Currently under construction, the Kansas

City Science and Technology Center also has green

language in its SFO to ensure that all construction

features promote energy efficiency and environmentally

preferable materials and design.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

EPA is continuing to maximize the energy and water

efficiency and environmental performance of its

facilities through a variety of innovative projects and

common sense initiatives. Efficiency improvement

opportunities that are underway at EPA facilities

include:

• Cincinnati, Ohio. During Summer 2002, EPA’s

Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research

Center began the process of energy master

planning, or taking into account the energy

efficiency and mechanical needs of the facility as

part of the overall facility master planning process.

Throughout 2002, the entire Cincinnati complex

received 100 percent green power for its electricity

needs.

• Fort Meade, Maryland. EPA realized a 12 percent

decrease in energy use in FY 2002 at this facility.

Team members from EPA’s Region 3, SFPB,

AEREB, and SHEMD worked together to correct

system programming errors, reduce exhaust

velocities on exhaust stacks, improve the operation

of bypass dampers, and identify other energy

savings opportunities. Fort Meade’s energy

performance is also attributed to direct digital

controls, VAV fume hoods, natural lighting, and

other efforts. In September 2002, a contract for a

pony boiler was signed to improve the efficiency

of summer operations at the laboratory. 

Highly Efficient Systems

EPA is using the ESPC process to further its installation

of combined heat and power systems and locally

available renewable energy sources. In addition to the

installation of a geothermal heat pump in Ada,

Oklahoma, as part of the ESPC upgrade there, a natural

gas fuel cell was installed in the Ann Arbor, Michigan,

laboratory to provide both base load power and

emergency backup power for the facility. 

Off-Grid Generation

EPA is using and studying distributed generation

technologies to diversify its electric resources and

provide more reliable, off-grid sources for the

uninterrupted power its laboratories need:

• Ada, Oklahoma. The laboratory installed a ground

source heat pump system as part of an ESPC,

which became operational in the Spring of 2002. 

• Ann Arbor, Michigan. A 200-kilowatt natural gas

fuel cell was included as part of the laboratory’s

ESPC upgrade. In addition, as an alternative to six

or more internal combustion engines that would

provide clean/grey power, EPA teamed up with

DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study

microturbine and fuel cell options, which had a

payback period of only two years.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

Work continued on many EPA buildings in FY 2002 to

reduce electricity load during peak times and

throughout the day. In Seattle, Washington, the Region

10 office has contingency plans for power emergencies.

In addition, the following ECMs undertaken over the

past two years are producing an estimated yearly utility

savings of $140,000: reducing maximum temperature

set point from 72 to 68 degrees and raising the lowest

cooling set point from 73 to 75 degrees; installing 123

motion sensors in conference rooms and all private

spaces; and removing fluorescent tubes from fixtures in

designated areas and in stairwells.

N. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA)

Management and Administration

The Assistant Commissioner for Business Performance

is the General Services Administration (GSA) Senior

Energy Official, with responsibilities for meeting the

goals and requirements of Executive Order 13123. 

GSA formed a technical support team to expedite and

encourage the agency’s use of strategies identified in

Executive Order 13123. The agency energy team

consists of individuals from different programs at GSA

including management, legal, procurement, and others.

Management Tools

Awards

GSA participates in the annual Federal Energy and

Water Management Awards program, and received six

awards in FY 2002. GSA also honors each one of the

DOE award recipients internally with a ceremony and

monetary award.

In addition to the DOE awards, GSA received the 2002

Presidential Award for Leadership in Federal Energy

Management. GSA recognized all recipients of this

award. GSA also recognizes employees, through

incentives such as team awards and non-monetary

bonuses.

Performance Evaluations

GSA senior management and regional senior

management executives have energy performance

measures in their performance evaluations. Regional

energy coordinators’ performance evaluations and

position descriptions include responsibilities for the

implementation of ene rgy efficiency, wate r

conservation, and renewable projects.

Training

Under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, GSA is required

to hold five energy management workshops for Federal,

state, local and tribal communities. In 2002, GSA held

seven workshops in partnership with Federal agencies

and state governments.

GSA continues to train its personnel in all aspects of

energy and water management and conservation. GSA

includes project managers responsible for renovation

and new construction projects in many of these training

activities. GSA currently has 28 trained energy

managers on staff. 

Showcase Facilities

During FY 200 2, GSA, together with the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated

one Showcase facility, which will serve as a prototype

for future EPA laboratories. The laboratory

incorporates natural daylighting, highly efficient HVAC

systems, a building-integrated photovoltaic sunshade,

recycled and reused materials, and is electrified with

100 percent renewable power. 

Energy Efficiency Performance 

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, GSA reported a 21.4 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

The agency achieved this reduction by directly

investing in energy and water conserva tion

opportunities with paybacks of 10 years or less.

Between 1990 and 2002, GSA invested approximately

$316.5 million in projects. GSA received credit for

purchases of 71.1 billion Btu of renewable electricity.

This lowered the energy intensity of its standard

buildings from 66,174 Btu/GSF to 65,763 Btu/GSF.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

During FY 2002, GSA’s energy usage was 271,666 Btu

per gross square foot versus 432,303 Btu per gross

square foot in FY 1990, a decrease of 37.2 percent. 

Exempt Facilities

During FY 2002, GSA’s excluded buildings including

those sites that were entering or leaving the inventory

in a given year, undergoing renovations, and outside

parking garages. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

GSA considers opportunities for solar and other

renewable energy in new building design and retrofit

projects. When GSA performs an energy audit of a

facility, renewable opportunities are identified and

implemented if life-cycle cost (LCC) effective. In

addition, GSA facility standards recommend that

renewable energy sources be considered in proposed

designs.

In FY 2002, GSA received approximately 3.2 million

Btu from self-generated projects which included six

photovoltaic installations, five solar thermal projects,

and one geothermal project. 

Purchased Renewable Energy

GSA attempts to include the option for renewable

purchases in all competitive procurements issued. In

FY 2002, GSA purchased a total of 24,306

megawatthours of electricity from renewables through

competitive power contracts and the use of green power
136

programs offered by local distribution companies. GSA

currently has competitive power contracts that include

renewable power components in six regions, and are

under contract to receive wind power for a seventh

region. 

Petroleum

Since the 1973-1974 oil embargo, GSA has encouraged

reducing the use of petroleum-based fuel. From FY

1985 to FY 2002, GSA’s petroleum use in buildings

decreased by 90.1 percent, from 7.6 million to .72

million gallons.

Water Conservation

GSA’s facility water consumption for FY 2002 was

approximately 4.5 billion gallons, at a cost of $18.8

million. GSA has had difficulty obtaining water

consumption data for its buildings located in

Washington, D.C. Data is received as much as one year

behind, making it impossible to provide actual

consumption data for these sites. Washington, D.C.

sites comprise a large percentage of the Federal

inventory and GSA’s water reporting remains

incomplete.

 

GSA facility and project managers continue to use

GSA’s Water Management Guide, which provides

comprehensive guidance on how to meet the

requirements of Executive Order 13123, from detailed

descriptions of water conserving technologies and

principles and how to measure water use and develop a

water management plan to economic analysis and

innovative financing options. 

During FY 2002, GSA held a Water Workshop in

Florida that achieved high attendance and positive

feedback. GSA also expanded their definition of

demand side management for area-wide utility contracts

to include water conservation. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

As identified in GSA’s FY 2000 Implementation Plan,

GSA uses life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis as a primary

factor in determining which energy projects to fund.

GSA conducted two LCC analysis training classes

during the year. GSA personnel also attended

Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy

Management Program’s LCC analysis training classes.

GSA strives to make LCC analysis a part of the

selection process for the majority of its construction

projects. In addition to being a criteria for the

disbursement of dedicated energy conservation funds,

other construction projects use the tool for selecting

equipment prior to the issuance of construction bid

documents to ensure that the most life-cycle cost

effective equipment is installed.

Facility Energy Audits

GSA performs energy and water audits and surveys in

accordance with its ten-year audit plan. Some audits are

obtained at no cost from utilities, and others are

obtained through DOE’s SAVEnergy audit program.

Energy-saving measures that are identified are

developed into energy conservation project proposals

using LCC methodology. Project submissions are

compiled into a database for ranking by savings-toinvestment ratio. As funding permits, projects are

selected for approval and implementation. Funding for

projects has been lower than needed to meet energy

reduction goals. 

GSA had planned to invest $50 million per year from

FY 1994 through FY 2000 to meet the energy reduction

goals of Executive Order 13123. The actual

appropriations have averaged $16.8 million over six

years. Other programs, such as GSA’s annual Repair

and Alterations Program, as well as the

Chlorofluorocarbon Chiller Replacement Program, also

invest in energy-efficient facilities and equipment.

However, the sum of these investments may not be

sufficient for GSA to meet the energy reduction goals.

Financing Mechanisms

Without receiving any funding for FY 2002, GSA was

still able to distribute $4.5 million in reprogrammed

funds to its Regions. GSA spent 1.9 million paying off

a utility energy service contract (UESC) for one of the

World Trade Center sites that is no longer standing, and

used the remaining money to fund projects that were

selected based on a savings-to-investment ratio that

assisted GSA in achieving strategic goals. 

GSA’s Regional Energy Coordinators identify energy

conservation opportunities and opportunities for energy

savings performance contracts (ESPCs). The

coordinators assemble and manage the project team,

which may include a contracting officer, legal council,

a project manager, and others. The Energy Center of

Exp ertise (ECO E) coord inates congressional

notification, provides guidance and information on best

practices, and promotes the use of ESPCs. The Office

of Finance pays the contractor and implements GSA

accounting procedures.

GSA identified maximizing the use of alternative

financing contracting mechanisms as a strategy in the

FY 2002 Implementation Plan. In FY 2002, GSA

awarded seven alternatively financed projects, all of

which were ESPCs. GSA currently has 23 ESPCs and

19 UESCs in place. Among these: 
137

• Region 5 GSA awarded a Super ESPC to

NORESCO for more than $3 million for a group of

three buildings in Minnesota.

• Region 6 GSA awarded a Super ESPC to

Honeywell for more than $788,000 for a group of

four buildings in Kansas.

• Region 7 GSA awarded a Super ESPC for a group

of facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas for

more than $1 million.

• Region 8 GSA awarded a Super ESPC to Johnson

Controls for $1.7 million for energy conservation

measures at a group of downtown Denver

facilities. 

• Region 10 GSA awarded a Super ESPC to Johnson

Controls for new construction of the Seattle

Courthouse for $1.8 million.

• Region 11 GSA awarded Phase 1 of a Super ESPC

to NORESCO in Washington, D.C. for $1.8

million.

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products 

GSA supports the procurement of energy-efficient

products through a number of activities. GSA provides

product supply schedules that promote energy-efficient

and environmentally preferable products and mandates

the purchase of ENERGY STAR®

computers and office

equipment. GSA is a signatory to, and an active

participant in the “Procurement Challenge,” designed to

identify the most energy-efficient products and to

increase the purchase of these products.

ENERGY STAR® Buildings

GSA has successfully conducted an evaluation of all

standard facilities using ENERGY STAR® software and

forwarded the results to the Regions for data correction

and certification as identified in its FY 2001

Implementation Plan. As of September 30, 2002, GSA

has earned the ENERGY STAR® building label for 93 of

its owned facilities and one leased facility. This

represents approximately 19 percent of the eligible

square footage, and 15 percent of facilities. 

Sustainable Building Design

Project managers and energy coordinators attend

conferences which provide information and assistance

for incorporating sustainability into GSA’s retrofit and

new construction programs.

GSA has also incorporated sustainable design guidance

into the following documents:

• The Design Excellence Program Guide,

• Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings

Service, and

• GSA’s Solicitation for Offers for Leasing. 

GSA has incorporated sustainable design criteria into

all guide specifications, facilities standards, and other

construction requirements for new construction and

retrofit projects. GSA’s goal is to have all new design

projects starting in FY 2003 meet criteria for the

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

(LEEDTM) Green Building Rating System.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

During FY 2002, GSA issued an acquisition letter to all

leasing activities on energy and environmental business

practices and solicitation for offers to implement

Executive Order 13123. The business practices describe

the different leasing activities and when these

provisions should be incorporated such as new leases

and lease changes that included construction. 

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

Several of GSA’s Super ESPC awards in FY 2002 were

for projects with multiple facilities, some of which were

in GSA’s energy intensive inventory. GSA continues to

look for opportunities for life-cycle cost effective

measures to increase the energy efficiency of its

industrial facilities. 

Highly Efficient Systems

During FY 2002, GSA completed the installation of

geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) at the Custom House in

Portland, Maine, and funded a large GHP project in

Gaithersburg, Maryland. GSA is pursuing a GHP

system for the New Springfield Courthouse in

Springfield, Massachusetts. 

GSA continues to investigate the feasibility of district

energy systems and other highly efficient systems in

new construction or retrofit projects, when life-cycle

cost effective.

Off Grid-Generation

GSA investigates the potential for off-grid generation

technologies whenever an energy audit or study is

conducted at facilities. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

During FY 2002, GSA established and implemented

specific electricity emergency load reduction plans for

buildings. Region 9 was able to achieve ample load

reduction when needed. Other Regions took advantage

of local utility load response programs and incorporated

them into each facility strategy with a great deal of

success. Additionally, GSA looked for opportunities to

improve their load management capabilities under
138

deregulation of the electricity industry. GSA also took

advantage of DOE’s Assessment of Load and Energy

reduction Techniques (ALERT) audits to identify

additional load reduction opportunities. 

The ECOE developed a Tactical Curtailment Plan to

determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of a

number of specific actions that were implemented in

California and nationwide.

O. International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB)

Management and Administration

The Associate Director for Management serves as the

Senior Energy Official for the International

Broadcasting Bureau (IBB). The agency’s energy team

is composed of representatives from the Office of

Administration, Office of Engineering and Technical

Services, Office of Contracts, and the Chief Financial

Officer. The energy team is responsible for developing

and preparing IBB’s annual energy plan, reviewing

energy efficiency measures at IBB facilities,

investigating or exploring future energy reduction

initiatives, and disseminating energy reduction and

conservation materials. 

Management Tools

Training

The Botswana transmitting station is pursuing ways to

increase the awareness of the importance of energy

conservation efficiency methods. Station personnel in

Germany have received briefings on energy

conservation, and the Ismaning assistant transmitter

plant supervisor attended a seminar on renewable

energy. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

IBB operates 13 large transmitting stations around the

world. Except for three stations, all IBB transmitting

plants are located in foreign countries, and thus are not

required to meet the energy reduction mandates of

Executive Order 13123. However, IBB is making

efforts to comply with the goals at all facilities. Energy

intensity in these facilities is measured in Btu per

thousand broadcast hours. When measured in these

units, IBB reported a 27.3 percent reduction in energy

consumption in FY 2002 versus its FY 1997 baseline.

The energy consumed by a station during a year is

mostly determined by the broadcast schedule (number

of on-air hours) which is ultimately prescribed by

Congress. The total IBB network broadcasts schedule

has been increasing the last three years, and exceeded

500,000 hours for FY 2002. 

All stations have energy conservation projects well

under way, and are making significant improvements in

building efficiencies, equipment demand, and energy

costs. 

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

Solar water heating panels have been installed in

housing facilities at the Sri Lanka transmitting station.

The Botswana station is exploring the feasibility of

implementing renewable energy projects. 

Water Conservation

A rain water recovery system at a station in the

Northern Mariana Islands captures run-off water from

the transmitter building roof. The system, soon to

undergo renovation, results in annual cost savings of

$4,500 for water that would otherwise have to be

trucked to the site.

The Udorn, Thailand transmitting station purchased and

installed digital timers for water heaters. The cost to

implement the energy-saving features was less than one

hundred dollars, and has an estimated annual cost

savings of more than $58,000.

Implementation Strategies

Facility Energy Audits

An on-site energy audit was conducted in FY 2001 at

the Saipan transmitting station, in conjunction with the

transmitter building renovation project. An energy

survey is also scheduled for the Sri Lanka transmitting

station in September 2003. 

Dominion Power conducted a no-cost lighting and

motorized equipment survey at the Greenville, North

Carolina, station. An independent facilities assessment

was also conducted. 

Financing Mechanisms

The Greenville station reported continuing energy

savings contracts with power suppliers during FY 2002.

Due to liberalization of the European Common Energy

Market, IBB transmitting stations in Germany have

been able to negotiate reduced power rates and delivery

conditions with power companies. Through these

negotiations, the cost of power for the Ismaning and

Holzkirchen stations has dropped from 11 cents per

kilowatthour to less than 5 cents per kilowatthour.

Favorable currency conversions rates also play a role in

the cost savings achieved.

ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

The Botswana, Greece, Germany, Delano, and

Philippines, and Thailand stations reported installation

of energy efficient products such as energy-saving light

fixtures and air conditioners. High-efficiency air

conditioners installed in a Botswana station facility led

to energy reductions of 30 percent. The Greenville

station worked to procure energy efficient products,

including information technology equipment. The
140

Thailand stations also installed infrared motion sensors

in low traffic areas to shut down lighting when not in

use. 

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

Highly-Efficient Systems

By far, the greatest energy savings for IBB transmitting

stations are being achieved through modernizing station

transmitters and associated equipment. Recently

purchased transmitters are highly efficient solid state

digital designs. In addition, the modulator section of

many older transmitters have been replaced with solid

state modulators which typically reduce energy

consumption by more than 15 percent. 

New and updated transmitters also include controlled

carrier modulation (CCM), an electronic feature that

typically reduces energy consumption by 13 to 22

percent depending on program material and technical

settings. IBB is using various levels of CCM in most

stations. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

The Botswana station has ordered audio delay units,

which will spread out the audio peaks on transmitters

when all are broadcasting on the same program.

Spreading out the audio peaks will prevent the

transmitters from calling for maximum power at the

same time. By keeping down the peak demand–the

basis for the station’s utility bill–energy costs will also

decrease. 

An energy manager service provided to the Delano

transmitting station permits the station to examine

power consumption and peak demand on a daily basis.

It has allowed the station to shed 500 kilowatts of

demand by rearranging program schedule and

eliminating sign-ons and sign-offs. The Ismaning

station also installed a power management system to

control peak power loading.

P. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA)

Management and Administration

The Assistant Administrator for Institutional and

Corporate Management Systems is the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s)

Senior Energy Official, responsible for meeting the

energy goals and requirements of Executive Order

13123. The Assistant Administrator provides

Agency-wide executive and functional leadership,

oversight, and guidance for the Agency’s logistics,

industrial relations, facilities, and environmental

management and energy efficiency programs.

As part of NASA’s efforts to streamline the operations

of its Councils and Boards, the Energy Efficiency

Board (EEB) was reclassified as a Panel reporting to

the Environmental/Energy Management Board

(EEMB). The Energy Efficiency Panel (EEP) provides

an Agency-level forum to guide the planning and

implementation of energy efficiency activities,

including energy and water conservation, greenhouse

gas reduction, and the use of renewable energy sources.

The EEP supports the EEMB for research and

implementation of energy programs, issues, and

initiatives. Significant issues and initiatives identified

by the EEP requiring Agency-wide capital investments

or investment policy to achieve or sustain compliance

with Federal energy efficiency and water conservation

goals and objectives are presented to the Enterprise

Council through the EEMB.

Management Tools

Awards

NASA is developing an Agency Environmental and

Energy Awards Program to recognize accomplishments

in implementing all of the Greening the Government

Executive Orders, which will be implemented in FY

2003. In addition, most NASA Centers and Component

Facilities recognize employee contributions to energy

and water savings through employee suggestion

programs, by issuing monetary awards based on

savings achieved, and by recognizing employee

contributions in internal news publications. 

The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Environmental

Program Branch manages two award programs for

Center employees and contractors. The Catch an

Environmentalist Award is a recognition program

managed by the Environmental Program Office to

reinforce positive behaviors. In FY 2002 , this award

was presented to NASA and contractor employees for

contributions in the areas of effective program

i m p l ement ati o n and management ,

education/outreach/awareness, natural resources

conservation, and hazardous waste management. The

Environmental and Energy Award is a biannual

competition conducted by the Center Awards Office.

This award recognizes significant achievements in all

areas of environmental and energy management. In FY

2002, the Center presented this award to two

individuals and four teams for achievements in data

reporting efficiency, pollution prevention/recycling, and

energy conservation.

The KSC Joint Base Operations Support Contractor

established the Energy Achievement Goals for Life and

Environment (EAGLE) Award program to recognize

employee contributions to energy and water efficiency

and environmental improvement. During FY 2002, the

program recognized the design and installation of a

high efficiency pre-cool air-conditioning unit with

state-of-the-art controls that will save $68,000 annually.

KSC hosted an Energy Awareness Week event that

reached thousands of employees with Spaceport News

articles and e-mail messages, facility tours, posters and

outdoor displays and contests, by Center organizations,

utility companies, and local government offices. 

Performance Evaluations

Most NASA Centers and Component Facilities include,

or plan to include, the successful implementation of

energy management conservation requirements in

performance evaluations and positions descriptions for

all those involved in energy management activities.

This practice extends to many Center Operations

Support Services contractors.

Training

In FY 2002, NASA completed activities to ensure that

all appropriate personnel receive training for energy

and water management requirements, including:

• An Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation

(EEWC) course was held in February 2002, at

NASA’s Management Education Center at

Wallops Island, Virginia. The EEWC course was

developed to provide energy and facilities

management professionals the knowledge and

skills required to successfully implement energy

efficiency and water conservation projects. 

• NASA Headquarters hosted the NASA 2002

Environmental Conference in Norfolk, Virginia, in

March 2002. The Conference was attended by

approximately 120 energy, environmental, and

facilities professionals from across the Agency.

The Conference included an energy efficiency

track with sessions on sustainable design, DOE’s
142

Assessment of Load and Energy Reduction

Techniques (ALERT) protocol, renewable energy

technologies, continuous commissioning, water

conservation, Laboratories for the 21st Century,

and energy-efficient lighting.

• The Kennedy Space Center Joint Base Operations

Support Contractor presented three sessions of the

course, Energy 101, to Center personnel.

In all, approximately 72 NASA employees and

contractors received energy and water management

training through NASA- and DOE Federal Energy

Management Program (FEMP)-sponsored courses,

industry conferences, and commercial or academic

sources at a cost of approximately $116,000.

Showcase Facilities

NASA has two Showcase facilities; the Project

Engineering Facility, Building 4203, at Marshall Space

Flight Center and the Aircraft Maintenance, Hangar

Building 1623, at Dryden Flight Research Center

(DFRC). No new Showcase facilities were designated

in FY 2002. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

In FY 2000, NASA realigned its facility designations

and historical energy consumption baselines to comply

with the definitions and goals established by Executive

Order 13123 for the three new categories of Federal

buildings and facilities. These categories are: 

• Standard buildings and facilities subject to, energy

efficiency improvement goals. NASA refers to

these as non-mission variable (NMV) buildings.

• Industrial, laboratory, research, and other

energy-intensive and industrial and laboratory

facilities. NASA refers to these as energy-intensive

facilities (EIF).

• Exempt facilities or mission variable (MV)

facilities.

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, NASA reported a 21.6 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

This performance includes credits for renewable

electricity and landfill methane purchases.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities 

The average energy intensity for NASA’s EIF facilities

was 273,333 Btu per gross square foot by the end of FY

2002, as compared to the FY 1990 baseline value of

323,971 Btu per gross square foot. This 15.6 percent

decrease includes credits for renewable electricity and

landfill methane purchases, but is significantly higher

than the energy-intensity level reported in FY 2001.

This is primarily due to the closure of the NASA

Industrial Plant in Downey, California, that removed

more than 1.6 million square feet from the energy

intensive facilities category. 

NASA continued its shared energy savings contract

with Lockheed Martin Michoud Space Systems

(LMM SS), the contractor operator of the NASA

Michoud Assembly Facility that manufactures the

Space Shuttle External Tank. NASA rewards LMMSS

for exceptional performance in managing energy use by

sharing 8 to 14 percent of energy savings achieved as

an additional award fee. NASA’s share of the savings

are used to reduce the overall cost of the Space Shuttle

External Tank program. In FY 2002, Michoud

Assembly Facility used 893.1 billion Btu to produce 6.0

External Tanks, or 148.8 billion Btu per External Tank,

compared with 203.5 billion Btu per External Tank in

FY 1990. This represents a 27 percent decrease in

energy consumption per External Tank produced. 

Exempt Facilities

In FY 2002, only 5 million gross square feet, or 13.1

percent of NASA facility square footage was

designated as exempt. These facilities are highly

specialized and energy intensive, having been

constructed for specific space flight and research

programs. Examples are wind tunnels driven by

multi-thousand horsepower electric motors, space

simulation chambers, and space communication

facilities. The facilities range from pre-World War II

aeronautical test installations to new facilities that

support the Space Shuttle and International Space

Station programs. Energy consumption in these

facilities varies directly with the level and intensity of

program activities. 

NASA adopted an internal goal to improve the energy

efficiency of exempt MV facilities, where cost effective

and without adversely affecting mission performance,

by 10 percent by FY 2005 compared with FY 1985

levels. Due to the unique nature of their design and

operation, wind tunnels are excluded from this goal.

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

NASA’s use of self-generated renewable energy is not

directly metered, but the quantity produced is relatively

small. The following new projects were completed in

FY 2002:

• A 4.7 kilowatt photovoltaic power system was

installed on the roof of Building N-235 at Ames

Research Center at a cost of $30,755.
143

• KSC installed a photovoltaic system to provide

power for lightning sensing equipment. The system

replaces a diesel generator that was operated

continuously to provide power to this very remote

area. The project cost $43,000 and will reduce

energy and operations and maintenance costs by

$30,000 annually. The Center also completed the

design for concentrating solar collectors that will

generate hot water to regenerate a desiccant

dehumidification wheel at Building M6-639. This

$85,000 technology demonstration project was

funded by DOE, NASA, and the Florida Solar

Energy Center.

• Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) completed

a $66,000 project to install solar parking lot

lighting.

Purchased Renewable Energy

NASA has focused its efforts on purchasing renewable

energy from sources that are cost-competitive with

conventional energy sources. NASA completed the

following activities to increase energy purchases from

renewable sources:

• The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)

continued working with Toro Energy of Maryland

to bring a landfill methane supply pipeline to the

Center. A 10-year utility supply contract was

awarded to Toro Energy in FY 2000, but the

contractor experienced delay in obta ining

easements needed to construct the pipeline.

Pipeline construction is now underway and

delivery of landfill methane to the Center’s central

boiler plant began operation in January 2003. 

• The Johnson Space Center (JSC) entered into new

utility supply contracts that will deliver 10 million

kilowatthours of electricity (worth about $420,000)

and 5.8 million cubic feet of natural gas (worth

about $25,000) from renewable resources each

year. The natural gas company serving the Center

is supplying two percent of the Centers natural gas

requirements from landfill methane at no

additional cost. Under a new Defense Energy

Support Center electricity contract, the Center is

also receiving 5 percent of its electricity from wind

and hydroelectric resources at a total cost only 1.2

percent higher than the lowest available cost for

conventional electricity.

• The Langley Research Center and MSFC

continued to purchase steam generated from

municipal solid waste.

Petroleum

NASA reduced facility petroleum use by 46 percent

since FY 1985. Petroleum, including fuel oil and LPG,

represents only 12.4 percent of facility fuel use and 4.6

percent of total facility energy usage.

Water Conservation

NASA used 2.2 billion gallons of potable water in FY

2002, compared with 2.3 billion gallons in FY 2000, a

6.2 percent decrease. Six of 14 Centers and Component

Facilities have water management plans in place and

have fully implemented at least four of the DOE Best

Management Practices for Water. Other Centers

implemented the following water conservation

activities in FY 2002 to comply with energy efficiency

requirements:

• Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is implementing

the final phase of waterless urinals and anticipates

completing this multi-year project in FY 2003.

• KSC initiated a Water Conservation Awareness

program that includes the development of posters,

a campaign slogan “One Small Drop for KSC, One

Giant Lake for Mankind,” and information

displays.

• Michoud Assembly Facility continued its ongoing program to reduce water consumption. The

program includes recycling industrial wastewater,

installation of water efficient devices,

rehabilitation and upgrades to steam and chilled

water systems, and maintenance surveys and repair

of steam traps and leaks.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Projects and surveys are proposed by the energy

manager at each Center and Component Facility. The

projects and surveys compete for funding along with

other Center requirements. To compete successfully,

projects having energy conservation as their sole

purpose must have relatively short amortization periods

since construction funds are very limited and there are

many other high priority projects competing for

funding. 

Life-cycle costing (LCC) is the primary tool for

analyzing energy retrofit projects. Economic analyses

are performed for all construction and revitalization

projects in excess of $1.5 million. 

Facility Energy Audits

NASA Headquarters provided guidance to Centers and

Component Facilities indicating the level of auditing

that will be required for different types of facilities,
144

recommendations on which mission variable facilities

could benefit from comprehensive audits, and

suggested criteria for determining audit priorities.

Using this guidance, Center energy managers

developed plans to perform the audits. During FY 2002,

NASA completed audits for 7.7 percent of its total

building square footage, including comprehensive

audits covering more than 500,000 gross square feet

and walk-through audits covering 2.3 million gross

square feet. From FY 1991 through FY 2002, NASA

completed energy audits for 81.7 percent of its total

building square footage, including 79.4 percent of

non-exempt square footage, and 84.4 percent of exempt

and industrial square footage.

Financing Mechanisms

NASA made continued progress implementing energy

saving performance contracts (ESPCs) and utility

energy saving contracts (UESC) during FY 2002. By

the end of FY 2002, NASA awarded eight ESPC

delivery orders and five UESC at seven locations:

Ames Research Center (ARC), Glenn Research Center

(GRC), GSFC, JSC, KSC, Stennis Space Center (SSC),

and Wallops Flight Facility. NASA also participated in

DOD-managed ESPC and UESC contracts at two

Centers: DFRC and KSC. These actions have resulted

in $39.5 million in energy improvements for NASA

facilities that are saving $5.0 million annually. 

ARC issued its second ESPC delivery order to Johnson

Controls, Inc. under the DOE Western Region Super

ESPC contract. This $2.1 million project installed

lighting system upgrades in several buildings. Annual

savings of $266,900 are anticipated. 

Wallops Flight Facility issued its first ESPC delivery

order to Enviro Management and Research, Inc. of

Rosslyn, Virginia, under a local ESPC administered by

the GSFC. This $52,000 project installed lighting

system upgrades in several buildings. Annual savings

of $6,000 are anticipated. 

KSC expanded the scope of its second UESC contract

with FPL Services for energy efficiency improvements

to Space Shuttle facilities. The original contract was

awarded in FY 2001 for HVAC, lighting, and

compressed air system upgrades. Additional work

valued at $477,000 was added to the contract in FY

2002 that will save an additional $69,000 per year in

energy costs.

SSC issued its first UESC contract to Mississippi

Power for installation of power factor correction

capacitors. The project will reduce electricity costs by

avoiding penalty charges for poor power factor. The

$143,000 project will save $51,000 annually.

JPL continued work on its own commercial-type ESPC

contract that will be NASA’s largest ESPC to date. The

Laboratory received a final proposal from Sempra

Energy Solutions that would provide $24.4 million in

energy improvements and $3.3 million in guaranteed

annual savings. The project involves installation of a

6.3 megawatt combined heat and power system, three

microturbine power generation systems, and various

lighting, heating, cooling, metering, and water

conservation improvements for nine buildings. 

GSFC is developing two additional ESPC delivery

orders for award in FY 2003. The first delivery order

will upgrade lighting systems and electric motors in

several NASA buildings. The project cost is estimated

at $794,700 with annual energy savings of $210,000.

More NASA buildings will be upgraded with new

lighting systems and electric motors after the second

delivery is implemented. The project cost is estimated

at $1.1 million with annual energy savings of $171,000.

JSC is developing its second ESPC delivery order for

FY 2003 award under the DOE Central Region Super

ESPC contract. This $1 million project is expected to

result in annual savings of $100,000. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

In FY 2002, NASA Centers and Component Facilities

continued to install high efficiency electrical products

such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and other ENERGY

STAR®-rated computer monitors, variable frequency

drive systems for fans and pumps, high efficiency

fluorescent lamps, electronic ballasts, compact

fluorescent lamps as replacements for incandescent

bulbs, light emitting diode (LED) and other low-power

consumption exit lights, and occupancy sensors.

GRC developed and updated operating instructions and

local guide specifications for lighting, occupancy

sensors, and other equipment to ensure that energyefficient products are specified in facility project

designs. 

JSC embedded the requirement to purchase

energy-efficient products in its new Center Operations

Support Services contract.

The Joint Base Operating Support Services Contract

Energy Office at KSC performs reviews and approvals

of the purchase of HVAC equipment based upon LCC

analysis and ENERGY STAR®

 recommendations.

Michoud Assembly Facility purchased more than 1,200

ENERGY STAR®

 computers in FY 2002.
145

Sustainable Building Design

NASA continued development of an integrated

sustainable design policy that will combine the

traditional sustainability concepts of the Whole

Building Design Guide along with building

commissioning, design for maintainability, safety, and

security. A new NASA directive, issued on August 21,

2002, sets Agency-wide policy for incorporating

sustainable design principles in facility projects to

reduce life-cycle costs, implement pollution-prevention

principles, and minimize facility impacts on natural

resources while maximizing occupant health, safety,

security and productivity. Detailed implementation

procedures and guidelines have been developed and

integrated into the Agency’s facilities project

implementation process. A companion in-house training

course has also been developed to begin in FY 2003.

The Centers continued work on several facility project

designs that incorporate sustainable design features. 

For example, the Space Experiment Research and

Processing Laboratory at KSC will incorporate an

innovative passive stormwater retention area, 100

percent native plants with low water requirements, a

central light well to bring natural light into the open

plan office space, low volatile organic compound paints

and coatings, high efficiency lighting with occupancy

sensors, variable frequency drives on air handlers,

chilled water pumps and cooling towers, and high

efficiency chillers and passive solar thermal mass

principles.

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

NASA completed a number of projects in FY 2002 to

improve the energy efficiency of standard and

energy-intensive industrial facilities. Specific projects

undertaken in FY 2002 include:

• A continuous commissioning pilot project was

completed for three buildings at DFRC. The

project was performed under a Cooperative

Research and Development Agreement with the

Texas Engineering Experiment Station, Energy

Systems Laboratory, at Texas A&M University.

The study identified opportunities to save $41,500

annually through low- and no-cost operational

changes including equipment shutdown and

temperature reset. These measures would correct

problems associated with higher than necessary air

flow rates, disabled economizers, poor locations of

static pressure sensors, and simultaneous heating

and cooling. The study also identified

opportunities to save an additional $50,410

annually through HVAC system retrofits including

variable frequency drives, variable air volume

conversions, and fan sheave replacement. In total,

the study identified measures that will save $0.33

per building square foot and will pay for

themselves in less than two years, including the

cost of the study.

• The Payloads Processing organization at the KSC

implemented several low- or no-cost operational

changes that are saving significant amounts of

energy. Several air handling units and lighting

systems serving various payload processing

facilities were secured, faulty control components

repaired, time of day schedule changes were made

to reduce runtime, redundant equipment was

secured, and underutilized facilities were placed

into warehouse or standby mode. Together, these

operations and maintenance measures cost only

$38,600 to implement, but resulted in nearly

$400,000 in energy use. The Boeing (PGOC)

Energy Manager made a presentation on these

achievements at the Laboratories for the 21st

Century conference in Durham, North Carolina.

• Langley Research Center (LaRC) completed

various facilities maintenance tasks including

roofing and HVAC replacement projects at a cost

of $3,774,000. The Center also completed a

$159,000 lighting retrofit project in Building 1209

that installed new electronic ballasts, T-8 lamps,

reflectors, parabolic lenses, occupancy sensors,

and LED exit signs. These projects will save

$776,000 annually. LaRC is applying reliability

centered maintenance and predictive testing and

inspection techniques in its maintenance program.

Maintenance procedures are included in the

Computerized Maintenance Management System.

The Center also installed 17 new electronic meters

providing time-of-day energy consumption at a

cost of $60,000.

• KSC completed a $100,000 study of potential

hardware and software solutions to improve energy

information usefulness and automation. Design is

currently 90 percent complete for a $483,000

metering project to improve hot and chilled water

production and energy management at the point of

use. Electrical meter reading crews have begun

conversion from monthly written data recording

practices to the use of automated handheld barcode

meter reading devices. This will reduce multiple

manual data manipulations and associated errors,

enable automatic range sanity check, and reduce

data collection time.

Off-Grid Generation

NASA completed the following actions in FY 2002 to

install new solar hot water, solar electric, solar outdoor

lighting, small wind turbines, fuel cells, and other

off-grid alternatives:
146

• NASA Headquarters sponsored a study to

determine the feasibility of a megawatt-scale

grid-integrated photovoltaic power system for the

Dryden Flight Research Center. The study is being

performed by DOE’s Idaho National Engineering

and Environmental Laboratory.

• JPL applied to a program managed by the

California South Coast Air Quality Management

District to obtain three microturbines at no cost for

on-site power generation. Approval of the

application is expected shortly.

• KSC completed the design for a solar-powered

desiccant dehumidification system for Building

M6-639. This $85,000 technology demonstration

project was funded by DOE, NASA, and the

Florida Solar Energy Center.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

GRC employs load management to combine several

loads for efficient use of central process system

equipment. A central controller was installed to

improve efficiency for central process equipment.

Electric motors were rewound and a solid state exciter

was installed to improve power factor for central

process equipment.

The KSC Complex Control System was augmented to

enable load scheduling for discretionary air handlers in

the Vehicle Assembly Building. This will save $50,000

annually in energy costs and make it easy to implement

load shedding in emergency situations.

The Wallops Flight Facility implemented rolling chilled

water shut off to some buildings during peak periods in

the summer to reduce power consumption at the chiller

plant.

The White Sands Test Facility rewired sewage aerators

controls to operate only at night. This $200,000 project

is saving $100,000 in on-peak demand charges.

Q. NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION (NARA)

Management and Administration

The Senior Energy Official for the National Archives

and Records Administration (NARA) is the Assistant

Archivist for Administrative Services.

Management Tools

Training

NARA implemented an aggressive employee education

program on energy conservation at the Archives I and

Archives II facilities in FY 2002.

In FY 2002, five employees received energy

management training.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Exempt Facilities

NARA owns and operated 13 separate facilities, all

dedicated to the preservation, storage, display, and use

of historical documents and artifacts. These documents

and artifacts must be maintained in a controlled

environment 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

NARA has designated these facilities as exempt for the

purpose of Executive Order 13123. 

NARA initiated the development of an agency Energy

Plan in 1996 in concert with the agency’s Strategic

Planning Process. NARA has a policy to operate its

facilities as efficiently as possible and still maintain the

environmental conditions required for preservation and

safe storage of the nation’s archival documents.

The Archives II building, approximately 50 percent of

NARA’s square footage, was not operational until

1996, thus no 1990 baseline data is available. NARA’s

FY 2002 electricity consumption showed a reduction of

4 percent compared to FY 2001, and an increase in

natural gas usage which precluded a shift to fuel oil as

in the previous year.

Increased security requirements being implemented in

FY 2002 and FY 2003 may result in increases in utility

use in future years. 

In FY 2002, various steps were taken to implement

energy conservation measures at the Archives facilities

and the Presidential Libraries. At the Carter Library,

HVAC controls were replaced. Energy efficient chilled

water pumps were installed at the Johnson Library.

NARA is constructing a new Visitors Center a the

Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library using energy

efficient lighting and mechanical systems. Roofs are

also being replaced at the Dwight D. Eisenhower

Presidential Library and the John F. Kennedy

Presidential Library; both with more energy efficient

insulation.

Water Conservation

In FY 2002, NARA water consumption was 56.2

million gallons, an 8 percent decrease as compared to

FY 2000 consumption. 

Six NARA facilities have developed Water

Management Plans.

Implementation Strategies

Facility Energy Audits

Ten percent of NARA facility space was audited during

FY 2002. Since FY 1992, 24 percent of facilities have

received energy audits.

Financing Mechanisms

A delivery order was awarded under DOE’s Super

Energy Savings Performance Contract during FY 2002

for the upgrade of the direct digital HVAC controls and

for lighting retrofits at the Ronald Reagan Presidential

Library.

A survey was also performed at the John F. Kennedy

Presidential Library under a DOE Super ESPC and

results are under consideration for implementation.

Items included in the survey were direct digital

controls, lighting upgrades, chiller replacement,

retrofitting the electric heating system with gas-fired

boilers, and water conservation measures.

R. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC)

Management and Administration

The Senior Agency Official for the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is the Deputy Executive Director

for Management services. 

NRC formed an agency energy team in FY 2000,

consisting of procurement, legal, budget, management,

and technical representatives. The team is responsible

for expediting and encouraging the NRC’s use of

appropriations, energy savings performance contracts

(ESPCs), and other alternative financing mechanisms

necessary to meet the goals and requirements. 

Management Tools

Awards

NRC uses its award program to recognize exceptional

performance in energy management.

 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, NRC reported a 7.4 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its One White

Flint North (OWFN) facilities compared to its FY 1989

baseline year, and a 6.9 percent decrease for its Two

White Flint North (TWFN) facilities compared to its

FY 1996 baseline year, when measured in Btu per gross

square foot

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

Energy audits conducted in FY 2000 at the OWFN and

TWFN facilities concluded that self-generated

renewable energy projects were not economically

feasible.

Water Conservation

Water consumption at OWFN in FY 2002 was 9.6

million gallons, at a cost of slightly more than $65,000.

Water consumption at TWFN was 12.3 million gallons,

costing approximately $71,000.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

In FY 2002, energy-efficient lighting was installed in

the garage in the TWFN facility. Additionally, motion

sensors to control lights were installed in restrooms,

conference rooms, coffee stations, and workstations. In

the OWFN facility, motion sensors were installed in

lounges. Prior to the implementation of these energy

conservation initiatives, PEPCO conducted a life-cycle

cost analysis to ensure that an acceptable payback

period could be achieved. The payback period of 5.7

years was used in NRC’s capital budgeting decision to

fund the project.

Financing Mechanisms

In FY 2002, NRC planned to use the General Services

Administration (GSA) ESPC schedule as a financing

mechanism to implement energy conservation projects.

The ESPC requires a GSA certified contractor to incur

all capital expenditures to implement energy

conservation projects. The contractor is paid from the

savings in utility bills as a result of the projects.

However, the contract was not awarded until the first

quarter of FY 2003. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

All specifications for renovation projects performed by

NRC are developed to ensure that, when applicable,

energ y-efficient equipmen t and systems are

incorporated into the renovation design. Additionally,

the building operation and maintenance contract

specifications for the OWFN and TWFN facilities have

been updated to ensure that all building support

replacement products and components are energy

efficient. The NRC’s Affirmative Procurement Program

for Recovered Materials provides Internet links to

online training for Federal purchase card users on

ENERGY STAR® acquisitions and other energy-efficient

products.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

NRC participates in the PEPCO Load Curtailment

Program. During high demand periods, NRC, at the

request of PEPCO, reduces its energy load by deenergizing non-critical building support equipment.

Additionally, an employee awareness program

encourages employees to reduce usage of appliances at

workstations during high demand periods.

S. RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD (RRB)

Management and Administration

The Director of Administration for the Railroad

Retirement Board (RRB) is designated as the energy

conservation coordinator and is responsible for

overseeing and supervising the RRB’s conservation

practices. The Director of Supply and Service is the

designated Senior Energy Official and is responsible for

administering the RRB’s energy program to ensure all

aspects of RRB’s energy conservation plan are

effectively implemented. 

Bureau heads, managers, and supervisors are

responsible for ensuring that established energy

conservation procedures are consistently followed by

the personnel they supervise. This includes ensuring

that appropriate efforts are made to conserve energy in

their work areas. This includes, but is not limited to, the

reduction of unnecessary lighting, abiding by

established air temperatures, and the judicious use of

motor vehicles for official business.

Management Tools

Performance Evaluations 

The senior agency official and the facility energy

manager have performance standards that require the

successful implementation of provisions of Executive

Order 13123. The compliance with these requirements

directly impacts their performance evaluations.

Training 

RRB personnel responsible for energy management

receive training in energy management, including the

Department of Energy’s (DOE) Federal Energy

Management Program (FEMP) seminars. Seminars

offered in FY 2002 included a three-day conference on

combined heat and power sponsored by DOE.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, RRB reported a 17.4 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

The increase in energy consumption of only 1.0 percent

from FY 2001 to FY 2002 was a significant

accomplishment for RRB, considering that building

operating hours were increased 8.3 percent through an

expanded flexible-time program. Operating hours have

increased 18.2 percent from the 1985 baseline.

The headquarters building in Chicago, Illinois, is the

only building for which the RRB has operational

control. The RRB operates and maintains the building

under a delegation of authority agreement established

in April 1986 with the General Services Administration

(GSA).

Regional and field locations for the RRB are in GSA

leased facilities and are reported under the GSA

inventory of properties.

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

RRB has implemented a program which provides a

direct subsidy for employees using mass transportation

to commute to work. Alternative fueled vehicles will be

leased from GSA whenever a leased vehicle is required.

Renewable Energy

Purchased Renewable Energy

In FY 2002, RRB participated with GSA Region 5 in

the development of an Illinois Electric solicitation. The

solicitation requires that a portion of the power be

generated from renewable energy sources. The contract

began May 1, 2002 and was awarded to Exelon Energy

Corporation. RRB purchased 22.1 megawatthours of

renewable power in FY 2002 and expects to purchase

46 megawatthours in FY 2003.

Water Conservation

The RRB has taken major steps toward improving

water conservation in its headquarters facility. In all

bathroom and lavatories, all sinks and urinals have

automatic faucets and flush valves with reduced

consumption type diaphragms. In FY 2002, the RRB

prepared documentation which was submitted to the

metropolitan Sanitary District of Chicago. It identified

plant water losses from the cooling tower and boiler

blow-down. If approved, these proposed modifications

will be completed in FY 2003, resulting in sewer

charge savings for the RRB.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

The agency uses life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis

techniques in the development of its energy strategy to

determine which projects should be considered in

meeting its energy goals. Much of this analysis is done

in conjunction with GSA, which is responsible for the

implementation of all projects exceeding $50,000 under

the current delegation of authority agreement. However,

even projects under $50,000 are only considered after

careful cost analysis and determination of no more than

a 10-year simple payback. For example, a SAVEnergy

audit performed by Architectural Energy Corporation

(AEC) provided various alternatives and an LLC
150

analysis on various energy projects using the DOE 2.1E

Building Energy Simulation Model.

Facility Energy Audits

GSA schedules energy audits for the RRB building. In

FY 2002, RRB, in conjunction with GSA and FEMP,

completed a SAVEnergy Audit. An Energy and Water

Conservation Action Plan was performed by

Architectural Energy Corporation of Boulder,

Colorado, and included all areas of the RRB

headquarters facility.

Financing Mechanisms

The RRB has successfully worked with GSA on utility

energy services contracts. The Agency participated in

partnership efforts with GSA region 5 in the

development of an Illinois Electric solicitation to

procure electricity under a single Government contract.

This resulted in the procurement of electricity through

Exelon Energy Corporation beginning May 1, 2002.

RRB expects to purchase all its electric power under

this contract agreement. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

The RRB supports procurement of energy–efficient

products, and mandates the purchase of ENERGY STAR®

computers and office equipment. RRB is a signatory to

and an active participant in Planet GSA. Planet GSA

includes four pillars: Buy Green, Build Green, Drive

Green, and Save Green. With support from DOE and

the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), RRB,

through GSA, will encourage the purchase and use of

ENERGY STAR®

 products and other products that rank in

the upper 25 percent for energy efficiency. Energyefficient criteria have been incorporated into all RRB

and GSA guid e spe cifications and product

specifications for new construction and renovation

projects, as well as all new product specification

language.

Sustainable Building Design

RRB employs sustainable design principles in all

phases of Federal facility-initial design, construction,

remodeling, and renovation and construction waste

management. Sustainable principles apply to all

elements of building and landscape design;

maintenance and operation activities using water,

energy, and pesticides; and those activities that impact

indoor environmental quality and the recycling

infrastructure. RRB/GSA, in collaboration with DOE

and EPA, will promote the use of energy efficiency and

renewable energy technologies. In FY 2002, the RRB

completed the installation of a new energy-efficient

HVAC system for three floors. This new HVAC system

consists of variable frequency drives and an automated

variable air volume control system which helped to

significantly reduce the electrical consumption from the

previous constant volume air system. In addition, RRB

recently completed installation of new radiator control

valves on two additional floors of the facility. These

improvements provided greater building comfort and

control as well as helped reduce utility consumption.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

RRB regional and field locations are located in

Government owned or leased commercial space. These

offices comply with existing energy conservation

measures specified by GSA. All leasing arrangements

are made through GSA which assures the energy

efficiency in the facilities leased.

Highly Efficient Systems

GSA completed a prospectus development study for the

RRB headquarters facility in FY 2002, which included

the complete renovation of the HVAC systems and

looked at the potential for a combined heat and power

system for the RRB facility. In addition, RRB in

discussions with the local gas utility provider had a

preliminary cost analysis and feasibility study

completed on potential savings from co-generation. The

study showed a potential of $89,000 per year in overall

utility cost savings from the installation of this

equipment. Further analysis is planned in consideration

of this project.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

The RRB signed an agreement with Commonwealth

Edison, the local utility provider to participate in a load

curtailment program called Voluntary Load Reduction

Program (VLR). This curtailment program will enable

RRB to save on electrical costs and actively help reduce

electrical load. The RRB updated its current energy

emergency plan of action. The plan will be initiated

when emergency electricity load reductions are

required. As part of the VLR program, an energy

tracking system is currently installed on all electrical

meters to monitor electrical consumption and control

electrical loads.

T. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (SSA)

Management and Administration

The Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Senior

Energy Official is the Deputy Commissioner for

Finance, Assessment, and Management (DCFAM).

Members of the SSA Energy Team represent the

sections of SSA with responsibilities for energy

management, and include facilities specialists,

contracting officers, representatives from field offices,

and others.

Management Tools

Awards

SSA recognizes employees whose job descriptions

require energy management skills and whose overall

performance or individual actions are exceptional. In

FY 2002, SSA received an award from DOE for

contributions to the You Have the Power energy

awareness campaign. Many of SSA’s energy and

building managers received performance awards for

their contributions to the energy program. The SSA also

recognizes individual contributions to energy savings

through the employee suggestion and performance

award programs. 

Performance Evaluations

SSA has included energy conservation duties in the

agency’s energy team position descriptions and in each

building and energy manager specialist position in

delegated field facilities. SSA plans to add performance

metrics for energy conservation to other position

descriptions as well.

Training

In FY 2002, 26 members of the Agency’s nationwide

energy/action team attended the Energy 2002

Conference. Other training included: Facility Energy

Decision System Training, Energy Auditing 101, Water

Resource Management, National American Society of

Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE) Conference, and National Facilities

Management and Technology Conference and

Exposition. SSA staff also attend monthly and periodic

meetings with the General Services Administration

(GSA), the Department of Energy (DOE), and

ASHRAE, and are active participants of numerous

committees such as the DOE’s You Have the Power and

ASHRAE’s Sustainability Task Force. 

SSA educates its employees nationwide on the need for

and benefits of energy conservation through an

awareness program via e-mail, SSA’s Facilities

Management’s Office of Reality Management’s Web

site, Commissioner memorandums, newsletters, and

the agency’s quarterly magazine. Many of SSA

facilities nationwide sponsored exhibits for “Energy

Awareness Month” and “National Recycling Day” to

promote energy conservation and publicize energy

projects underway or completed.

Showcase Facilities

While SSA has not designated a specific facility as a

Showcase facility, SSA is renovating individual

buildings with energy-efficient technologies such as

thermal storage, efficient lighting, and passive solar

technology. SSA has applied for “green” status for the

new child care facility at SSA’s main complex in

Baltimore, Maryland, which was completed in Spring

2002. The SSA Headquarters Annex building received

a 2.0 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

(LEEDTM) certification, the first such designation

received by any Federal building in Region III. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

SSA became an independent agency in 1996, which

serves as the baseline year for the agency. In FY 2002,

SSA reported a 9.8 percent increase in energy

consumption from FY 1996 for its standard buildings

when measured in Btu per gross square foot. Energy

consumption decreased by 3 percent from FY 2001.

This decrease is attributed to the implementation of

energy conservation projects and more efficient

building operating practices. 

SSA is committed to reducing energy usage and costs.

While the Agency’s energy initiatives have produced

both cost efficiencies and significant reductions in

energy consumption, SSA’s overall energy

consumption has increased since its baseline year. 

Substantive changes in the way SSA does business

continue to have an affect on the use of facilities and

related energy costs:

• SSA has now offered its employees a 10 hour work

day. This requires additional hours of operation

from the normal 12 hour day, frequently extending

to 16 hours a day, plus 8 to 16 hours each

weekend. SSA is also striving to provide service to

the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This

increased public service capability has been

implemented in a few sites, with additional sites

planned. Service to the public and commitment to

flexibility for SSA’s employees increases energy

consumption and affects the Agency’s energy

reduction efforts.
152

• Extensive ongoing building renovations. SSA’s

Metro West Building in Baltimore, Maryland, is

undergoing extensive exterior façade and window

replacement work. This has increased SSA’s

energy use to maintain a comfortable work

environment for the Agency’s employees. SSA

anticipates energy reductions once the work is

completed and the exterior is sealed. There are also

substantial retrofits occurring in SSA’s main

complex of buildings. Work was just completed on

a 300,000 square foot building (the Headquarters

Annex building) and is about to start on a 1 million

square foot building. Retrofits include energyefficient motors, better insulation, and energy

savings devises. 

• Consolidating employees into Government-owned

space. SSA has improved space utilization in larger

buildings. For example, 400 SSA employees

formerly housed in prime leased space in San

Francisco moved to the Western Program Service

Center in Richmond, California. The Data

Operations Center (WBDOC) in Wilkes-Barre,

Pennsylvania, continues to see an increase in

personnel due to the establishment of a new

teleservice center in the building. SSA’s

Northeastern Program Service Center housed

approximately 300 employees, who were displaced

from the World Trade Center for nine months.

Similar collocations into Federal space or

expansion of the numbers of employees in other

delegated buildings have occurred. 

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities

SSA has designated the National Computer Center

(NCC) located at the headquarters complex in

Baltimore, Maryland, as an energy intensive building

because it contains the main database and query servers

for all of SSA’s increasingly automated offices

nationwide. The mainframe computers operate virtually

24 hours per day, year round, as SSA has become an

online service provider. The NCC reduced energy by 6

percent from FY 2000 to FY 2001 and 5.5 percent from

FY 2001 to FY 2002.

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

All vehicle s used by SSA are leased from GSA. SSA

has an extensive ride-sharing program for employees

and a limited transit subsidies program for qualified

employees. SSA’s Intranet Web sites disseminate

comprehensive information on these programs. 

Renewable Energy

SSA has analyzed a variety of solar and renewable

energy technologies for its headquarters buildings.

Natural daylight appears to be the most viable

renewable energy source for implementation. SSA has

received technical assistance from the Department of

Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program to

explore the feasibility of installing solar tube lighting in

the headquarters warehouse space. 

Purchased Renewable Energy

SSA purchases competitive power for four facilities

located in states that have deregulated. Approximately

3 percent, or 4,129 megawatthours of SSA’s

competitive power purchases under contract are from

renewable sources.

Million Solar Roofs

SSA is exploring solar power for the UPS systems for

the Northeastern Program Service Center (NEPSC) and

the Great Lakes Program Service Center (GLSPC). In

the Western Program Service Center (WNPSC), SAA

is working with GSA and energy service companies

(ESCOs) to evaluate the feasibility of using solar power

technology for the Richmond, California, facility.

Additionally, SSA installed new solar/wind lighting

fixtures in a portion of the parking area at the MidAtlantic Social Security Center in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania (MATSSC).

Water Conservation

SSA has completed numerous conversions of existing

fixtures to energy-efficient, low-flow aerators and water

closets and consistently used this technology in all

major building retrofits. The Annex Building was

recently completely retrofited with energy-efficient

fixtures and technology. NEPSC completed an upgrade

of the restrooms’ hot water system. MATSSC has

replaced all of the water fountains and GLPSC is

working with GSA on major restroom retrofits that

when complete will include energy-efficient fixtures. 

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

SSA has used life-cycle cost analysis for energy audits,

conservation projects, and prospectus projects. This

mechanism has been effective in identifying projects

that saved both energy and money. 

SSA initiated and completed energy audits in all of its

Government-owned delegated buildings. These audits

identified projects and completed a life-cycle cost

analysis for each project. In FY 2002, SSA initiated

several projects throughout the country that were

identified in the FY 2001 Implementation Plan. These

projects included selected lighting retrofits, lighting

controls, and dimmable ballasts at the headquarters

Metro West Building, NEPSC, and GLPSC. SSA also
153

funded the purchase and installation of solar/wind lights

in MATSSC. 

Facility Energy Audits

Prior to FY 2002, SSA completed audits of 100 percent

of all delegated spaces. SSA is currently working with

ESCOs, who performed energy audits in WNPSC,

GLPSC, and NEPSC in FY 2002, and reviewed all

previous audits to determine new energy savings

projects. SSA will continue to implement projects from

existing energy audits that meet the criteria (10-year

simple payback) for implementation as energy projects.

Financing Mechanisms

SSA has made extensive use of utility energy service

contracts. In FY 2002, SSA awarded lighting projects

in Maryland and New York via area-wide contracts.

SSA is negotiating Super Energy Savings Performance

Contracts (ESPCs) for WNPSC and GLPSC and is

proceeding with contract awards in FY 2003.

In FY 2002, SSA budgeted $500,000 for energy

projects, which included selected lighting retrofits,

lighting controls, and dimmable ballasts in its

headquarters Metro West Building, NEPSC, and

GLPSC. SSA also funded commissioning of the HVAC

system in WNPSC and installation of solar/wind lights

in MATSSC. 

SSA has budgeted $275,000 in FY 2003 to perform a

feasibility and design study of solar or other renewable

usage at NEPSC and GLPSC; an additional lighting

project at the Metro West headquarters building; NCC

lobby lights; Headquarters East Building lighting

override switches, and purchasing green power and

vending misers at the headquarters complex. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

SSA purchases energy-efficient and ENERGY STAR®

products for installation in their buildings. The types of

energy-efficient equipment installed include: ENERGY

STAR®-office equipment (computers, monitors, copiers,

and printers), and energy-efficient lamps, ballasts,

motors, and building systems. Energy efficient

specifications have been incorporated into construction

criteria for prospectus level renovation projects as well.

In FY 2002, GLPSC installed vending misers on all

vending machines in the facility.

Agency policy requires language to be incorporated in

SSA contracts to purchase energy-efficient computers,

motors, equipment, and building systems. Government

credit cards for micro-purchases have empowered many

employees, and the Agency continues to train

employees and micro-purchasers to ensure they are

purchasing energy-efficient products.

ENERG Y STAR®

 Buildings

SSA is profiling their buildings using the ENERGY

STAR® software on the Environmental Protection

Agency’s Web site. SSA is gathering the facility data

required to determine compliance with the ENERGY

STAR®

 criteria. SAA has submitted the requirements for

receiving “green” building status for the new

headquarters child care center, completed in 2002.

Sustainable Building Design

In conjunction with the General Services

Administration (GSA), SSA is renovating the

headquarters complex. The renovations are prospectus

level projects substantially funded by GSA. Sustainable

building design principles are used to the maximum

extent possible.

These projects, while not exclusively energy projects,

will significantly affect SSA’s energy baseline by

installing: 

• energy-efficient central heating and air

conditioning plants; 

• energy-efficient windows and doors; 

• new central computer-based energy management

systems; 

• natural daylight; and, 

• energy-efficient lighting and lighting controls.

SSA has built a new childcare facility for its

headquarters, which incorporated sustainable design

features. SSA has also completed renovations of the

Annex Building at SSA headquarters and has included

energy conservation and demand management features.

This project’s primary sustainable design features are

an ice storage air conditioning system and natural

daylight atriums. The Annex Building received a 2.0

LEEDTM certification.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

SSA has added a provision on energy efficiency into

their national solicitation for leased space. SSA will

continue to work with GSA to identify the most energyefficient buildings for its leased field offices.

The Annex Building at SSA’s headquarters includes

energy conserving and demand management features,

such as an ice storage air conditioning system and

atriums with daylighting. These features will be

incorporated into the renovations of the remaining

headquarters buildings. 

Off-Grid Generation

SSA is working with GSA and DOE to install solar

hotwater heating in its delegated facility in

Philadelphia. SSA is evaluating the use of Super ESPCs

to implement solar power for the UPS system in the

Richmond, California, facility and with DOE in New
154

York and Chicago to install solar power for the UPS

systems.

SSA is also producing off-grid power at the NCC.

During peak electrical demand periods, SSA receives

monthly credits on the utility bill, which provide a

continuing demand savings for the agency. The

installation of this service was accomplished through

the local utility via a UESC.

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

Each of SSA’s delegated buildings has a Building

Curtailment Plan. The plans include methods for SSA

managers and employees to increase energy awareness.

SSA curtailment plans include items such as cycling air

handler units, taking elevators offline, and turning off

corridor and non-essential lighting. SSA has also made

corrections to several energy-intensive items such as

raising temperatures in computer rooms, completing

several minor lighting retrofits, de-lamping, turning off

monitors, and increasing employee awareness. At the

headquarters complex in Baltimore, Maryland, SSA has

the ability to take the entire headquarters complex

offline during a power emergency and supply its own

power from generators.

U. TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (TVA)

Management and Administration

The Executive Vice President of Administration serves

as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Senior

Energy Official. TVA formed the Agency Energy

Management Committee (AEMC) to facilitate

compliance with Federal statutes, Executive Orders,

Federal regulations, TVA energy and related

environmental management objectives, and obligations

under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)

Green Lights Program, and the ENERGY STAR®

programs. The AEMC is comprised of representatives

from each TVA organization responsible for energy

management and associated en viron men ta l

considerations in facility and general operations inside

the agency. The AEMC also provides an avenue for

sharing lessons learned and replicating success. 

Management Tools

Awards

TVA utilizes pay for performance as one method to

reward employee efforts toward meeting agency goals.

Performance Evaluations

To the extent to which employees are responsible for

activities that are related to energy efficiency, their job

descriptions contain performance goals and they are

evaluated by the extent to which they accomplish such

goals.

Training

TVA uses training methods such as information updates

that are provided on current Federal requirements and

regulations to employees, managers, and TVA

customers upon request. Energy management and

associated environmental training is provided to

managers and employees as needed. Employee

awareness activities are used to educate employees on

how they impact energy consumption and the

environment through their daily activities at work and

home. TVA also educates staff on energy and

environmental related topics through the TVA

University. 

Showcase Facilities

The TVA Chattanooga Office Complex (COC)

continues to be TVA’s designated Showcase facility.

The COC was completed in 1986 and encloses

approximately 1.2 million square feet of floor area, and

is made up of five interconnected buildings (Signal

Place, Lookout Place, Blue Ridge, Missionary Ridge,

and Monteagle Place). It integrates the use of passive

energy strategies, energy management practices, and

environmental programs and activities. Occupant daily

activities have been recognized as a major component

in facility performance. Energy and environmental

awareness programs have been established to inform

the occupants about the impacts their actions have on

this performance. The combinations of original design

elements, energy and environmental activities, and

aggressive energy reduction operation and maintenance

efforts have resulted in the COC becoming a model

facility.

Since initial construction, additional energy and

environmental improvements have been implemented

in the COC. One of these improvements was the design

and installation of a chilled and hot water storage

system for the COC and Monteagle Place buildings.

The system allows the two buildings, through a

symbiotic relationship, to better use site energy and

reduce the need for source energy.

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, TVA reported a 26.4 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

TVA received credit for purchases of 1.7 billion Btu of

renewable electricity. This lowered the energy intensity

of its standard buildings from 60,776 Btu/GSF to

60,599 Btu/GSF.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities 

In FY 2002, energy consumption in TVA’s energy

intensive facilities was 185,536 Btu per gross square

foot, a 20 percent decrease compared to FY 1990. 

Exempt Facilities

TVA has a long history of demonstrating energy

reduction and will continue to work toward reducing

energy use in its generation, transmission, and related

energy intensive buildings. Energy reduction in these

buildings has become increasingly more difficult given

the majority of the energy consumption in these

buildings is largely attributed to process energy

(generation and transmission of electricity). 

In FY 2002, TVA implemented or plans to implement

projects to increase transmission power supply

efficiency, hydropower efficiency, and nuclear

efficiency in exempt facilities.

Tactical Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use

TVA’s fleet strategy is to examine current vehicle use

and where possible, when vehicles need replacement,

choose those that are more efficient. TVA, as a major

provider of electricity will continue to use alternative

fueled vehicles (AFVs) that use electric power and
156

acquire additional vehicles to meet requirements under

the Energy Policy Act of 1992. TVA has also

recognized the value of hybrid electric vehicle

technology in reducing fuel consumption, increasing

versatility, and promoting electric propulsion. TVA

created a hybrid-fleet program in FY 2002 which is a

partnership effort between TVA’s Energy Management

and Fleet Management organizations. TVA added two

hybrid gas and electric vehicles to its fleet in FY 2002

and has made arrangements to purchase 10 more in FY

2003.

During FY 2002 TVA reduced gasoline fuel use by 5

percent and diesel fuel use by 21 percent compared to

FY 2001.

TVA encourages employees to use mass transit

systems, vans for group travel, and car pools, when

available and feasible. The use of coordinated TVA and

vendor delivery, pickup routing schedules, and just-intime delivery has been expanded throughout TVA. This

coordinated effort avoids double handling and, multiple

trips to the same sites, and reduces deadheading. 

As a major supplier of electricity, TVA is particularly

interested in supporting the use of electric vehicles

(EVs). TVA has incorporated EVs into its fleet

operations and supports power distributors and local

communities with EV technology demonstrations. TVA

is also utilizing electric vehicles at its plant sites to

reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

TVA currently has the following EVs:

• 2 U.S. Electricar Prism sedans,

• 1 U.S. Electricar S-10 pickup truck,

• 5 Solectria Ford sedans,

• 5 Ford Ranger pickup trucks,

• 3 GEM electric cars, and

• 3 EZGOs electric vehicles.

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

TVA is in the process of incorporating renewable

energy options such as passive solar heating,

geothermal heat pumps, and daylighting in its new

Customer Service Center building design. 

TVA has already installed photovoltaic panels and wind

turbines in many locations in its service area to provide

renewable energy to its customers through its GPS

program.

TVA’s River Operations staff considers energy

efficiency and environmental impacts for each project

and activity. TVA has cooperated with Voith Siemens,

in establishing and operating Hydro Resource

Solutions, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company,

which develops and markets energy efficiency

enhancing hardware and software for the hydropower

industry. The majority of projects completed at TVA

hydro plants in FY 2002 pertain to energy management;

however, the environmental impact and associated cost

estimates are included as part of the project

development process. Benefits from these projects

include maintaining plant availability, reducing energy

consumption, lowering maintenance costs, increasing

megawatt capacity for units, improving security,

increasing over all efficiency, and supporting

environmental stewardship. 

Purchased Renewable Energy

TVA purchased 495 megawatthours from the TVA

GPS program for use in its Knoxville Office Complex

and Huntsville office.

TVA’s current efforts are directed toward large scale

solar installations in highly visible locations through its

GPS program. There are efforts underway to develop a

program that would allow residential and small

commercial customers to install solar generation and

sell their excess power to TVA’s GPS program. 

Million Solar Roofs

Fourteen solar generating facilities are presently

operating in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia,

and Mississippi. Two additional solar installations are

planned to be built by the end of FY 2003. One

commercial scale wind power generation site has also

been operational since November 2000. TVA is looking

at options for expanding its existing wind site by the

end of 2003. A 2.6-megawatt landfill gas generation

site has been operating since May 2001. GPS also

benefits from generation produced from a 4-megawatt

wastewater treatment methane gas project located at

TVA’s Allen Fossil plant near Memphis, Tennessee.

Petroleum

Utilization of the Total Base Number (TBN - measure

of oil’s alkaline) value as an oil indicator has resulted

in a reduction in TVA’s oil consumption due to

extended oil drain intervals. Accordingly, the oil

change interval in some smaller diesel engines has

changed to 320 hours or 10,000 miles to protect TVA’s

equipment. Turbo pre-cleaners are being used on tractor

scrapers and dozers to lengthen air filter life and extent

oil change interval. Air filter indicators used on TVA’s

equipment have reduced filter changes (especially oil

bath type), and additional engine protection.
157

TVA has expanded the fuel mag to small compressors

to kill bacteria and spores that grow in fuel stored for

long periods of time. The use of the units should

decrease the amount of contaminated fuel to be

disposed and eliminate down time due to filter and fuel

injector plugging. 

TVA’s maintenance shops are using filter crushers to

remove as much oil as possible from filters before

disposal. The three maintenance facilities are using oil

burners to heat their facilities using TVA’s generated

used oil.

These projects provide TVA with the benefits of

minimal potential adverse environmental impacts from

spillage of waste oil and fuel, increased operational

efficiency, increased availability of units, and decreased

cost due to reduction in oil consumption. 

In FY 2002, TVA began to incorporate EPA emission

standards in specifications for both on-road and

off-road trucks. TVA began discussion with

construction equipment providers on their emission

standards.

TVA consumed 13,515 gallons of petroleum in building

operations in FY 2002, a decrease of 38 percent from

the FY 1985 baseline of 21,920 gallons.

Water Conservation

In FY 2002, TVA moved a large number of buildings

from the industrial classification to the exempt

classification. The buildings used to generate and

transmit electricity and are a major user of potable

water in TVA’s building inventory. Although TVA is

excluding these buildings, efforts to improve water

efficiency will continue. During FY 2002, energy

surveys including water were conducted at nine TVA

power plant sites. 

TVA consumed 1.7 million gallons of potable water in

FY 2002 with an estimated cost of $337,654. These

totals exclude the water consumption of the exempt

buildings.

TVA considers water management plans as part of its

operations and maintenance activities. As part of these

activities, 70 facilities have been covered representing

3.5 million gross square feet, or 36 percent of TVA’s

standard and industrial facilities square footage.

TVA continues to implement Best Management

Practices (BMPs) for water in its facilities. During FY

2002, TVA’s Edney building met five of the 10 BMPs.

TVA has now implemented BMPs in more than 11

percent of its gross square footage.

Implementation Strategies

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

TVA’s Energy Plan provides that life-cycle cost

analysis will be used in making investment decisions

regarding energy conservation measures. 

Facility Energy Audits

TVA has currently evaluated its building inventory for

potential energy conservation measures. These facilities

will be re-evaluated in accordance with Executive

Order 13123 and TVA’s Memorandum of

Understanding with the EPA. Energy surveys and

building assessments are planned for FY 2002.

Financing Mechanisms

Funding procedures for energy management and related

environmental projects are reviewed through the IEMP

and the AEMC. Projec ts for facilities are primarily

funded through renovation, operation, maintenance, and

modernization efforts. Projects covered under general

operations are ranked for economic benefit compared to

other TVA projects to determine funding availability

and implementation status and are funded mainly

through the capital budgeting process. 

ENERG Y STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

TVA’s Energy Plan provides that TVA will strive,

when cost-effective, “to meet the ENERGY STAR®

building criteria for energy performance and indoor

environmental quality in its eligible facilities to the

maximum extent practicable by the end of 2002.” This

includes purchasing ENERGY STAR

®

 and other energy

efficient products whenever feasible. TVA continues its

efforts to buy materials tha t have positive

environmental qualities.

TVA is in the process of evaluating occupancy sensors

to control energy use in individual work stations.

TVA’s Information Services group is partnering with

the Procurement and Energy Management groups to

investigate equipment that meets Executive Order

13123 objectives.

TVA continues its efforts to buy materials which have

positive environmental qualities including soy ink,

rechargeable batteries, low mercury lamps, and

non-toxic supplies. TVA also purchases materials

which meet sustainable architecture criteria. 

ENERG Y STAR® Buildings

TVA will continue to evaluate its buildings for

compliance with ENERGY STAR®

 building criteria.

During FY 2002, TVA plans to evaluate multiple

facilities for energy efficiency and, where applicable,

compliance with ENERGY STAR® building criteria.

Sustainable Building Design
158

TVA is building on earlier sustainable efforts by

incorporating sustainable design criteria into renovation

and new construction efforts. A “Sustainable Design

Guideline” along with a “Sustainable Process” have

been written and are currently being reviewed. All of

these efforts are being incorporated into an agency

sustainable program under TVA’s IEMP. The guideline

and process should be completed during FY 2002.

TVA is designing new buildings to not only meet

energy efficiency standards but also sustainable

standards. The technologies implemented include

daylighting, passive solar heating, geothermal heat

pumps, and advanced controls and non-toxic,

recycle-content building materials are being

incorporated into new building designs. 

TVA implements various energy efficiency

improvements in its facilities. Some examples of typical

energy reduction improvements are as follows:

• Laboratory exhaust hoods have been equipped with

variable speed drives to reduce exhaust

requirements when hoods are not being used;

• Air handlers have been equipped with variable

speed drives to reduce makeup air to laboratory

space when the airflow to exhaust hoods is at a

reduced level;

• HVAC and exhaust hood systems have been added

to TVA’s Energy Management and Control

System; 

• Energy Management Control Systems have been

added to control heat pump heating and cooling

systems;

• Variable frequency drives have been added to

building HVAC units;

• New lighting systems using T-8 lamps, electronic

ballasts and motion sensors have been installed in

many existing buildings; 

• New high efficiency heat pump systems have been

installed in many buildings; and,

• Existing air handlers have been rebuilt to improve

energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

Where applicable, TVA will use model lease provisions

based on those recommended by the GSA, and such

provisions will be incorporated into new and renewed

leases provided they are cost-effective. 

Industrial Facility Efficiency Improvements

TVA continuously looks for opportunities to improve

energy efficiency in its industrial facilities. During FY

2002 several projects were implemented in TVA

industrial facilities including the TVA Monteagle Place

computer center. In Monteagle Place, inefficient

lighting was replaced with new direct/indirect lighting,

utilizing the new T-5 high-output lamps. Additionally,

an under floor air-conditioning and heating system was

installed providing occupants individual control and

increased comfort and reduced energy use. In many of

TVA’s laboratory facilities existing exhaust hoods were

retrofitted with variable speed drives. In addition,

high-efficiency heat pumps were installed and

connected to TVA’s EMC system as part of the

renovation of the Chickamauga laboratory facilities. 

Highly Efficient Systems

TVA considers the implementation of high efficiency

systems as mentioned above when it is life-cycle cost

effective.

Off-Grid Generation

TVA is currently researching, testing, and

demonstrating the use of renewable power

technologies. TVA is building the first Regenesys

energy storage facility in the United States, near

Columbus, Mississippi. The 12-megawatt facility with

a 120-megawatthour storage capacity will be the first

utility-scale electrochemicalflow-battery plant. With its

compact size and minimal environmental impact, a

Regenesys system can be located near customer loads

reducing transmission system congestion and line

losses. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

As part of its operation and maintenance function, TVA

has an emergency curtailment procedure which reduces

energy use in its buildings during energy emergencies.

V. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS)

Management and Administration

In the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) the Vice President of

Engineering is the Senior Energy Official, with overall

responsibility for design and implementation of energy

efficiency policies and practices within the Agency. 

The USPS headquarters energy management team

consists of representatives from the environmental

department and are responsible for planning,

developing, organizing, and directing energy

management for the USPS. This includes

representatives from environmental management,

maintenance policies and procedures, and contract

management within the USPS. The agency team is

responsible for providing as-needed technical guidance

in their respective functional areas, support to program

development and implementation, and program

effectiveness reviews. 

Management Tools

Awards

Where merited, USPS employees receive monetary

awards for their energy accomplishments. These awards

are given at the discretion of the supervisor on a caseby-case basis. In some instances, Vice President “spot”

awards are awarded. The energy program utilizes the

existing USPS award system and procedures in

recognizing noteworthy employee contributions. 

Performance Evaluations

Through annual goal setting and review, appropriate

managers are evaluated regarding specific actions

related to cost savings, including savings from energy

programs. Managers achieving such savings, from

energy management as well as from other means, are

rewarded. Also, position descriptions include

responsibilities and accountability for management of

assigned functions, programs, and activities, which in

some instances include energy management. 

Training

USPS employees may receive ongoing training as part

of the Corporate Voice of the Employee goal.

Individual training, education planning, and

implementation are decentralized to the facility and

supervisor-subordinate level. There is no formal means

to track either the number of hours or number of

employees who receive energy management training.

However, Postal employees are encouraged to

participate in the educational and training opportunities

presented by the Federal Energy Management Program

(FEMP). Also, energy training is integrated into

broader training provided employees charged with

facility operations and maintenance responsibilities. For

example, training on management of HVAC systems

routinely covers energy efficiency aspects of such

systems. Such in-house training programs are provided

to Postal employees at the USPS National Training

Center. 

Showcase Facilities

USPS’ energy showcase initiative is integrated with the

environmental “green building” program, which is

managed by the USPS facilities department and entails

the use of sustainable design principles and renewable

materials. Eighth Avenue Station, Fort Worth, Texas,

was the first USPS green building. Since then, the main

post office in Corrales, New Mexico, and a facility in

South Raleigh, North Carolina, have been included in

the program. 

Energy Efficiency Performance

Standard Buildings

In FY 2002, USPS reported a 21 percent decrease in

energy consumption from FY 1985 for its standard

buildings when measured in Btu per gross square foot.

Estimated energy use decreased in FY 2002 by about

5.2 percent compared to FY 2001. 

The USPS utilizes financial performance and energy

pricing data to generate consumption figures. These

involve USPS-collected energy expenditure data and

state-by-state Energy Information Administration (EIA)

pricing data. To increase the accuracy of the energy

usage numbers, weighted prices are calculated from the

EIA data to take account of seasonal and area variation.

Industrial and Laboratory Facilities 

No USPS buildings are classified as industrial or

laboratory at this time. However, many facilities hold

equipment that use a great deal of energy, and USPS

may seek to reclassify some or all such buildings at a

later time. 

Exempt Facilities

The USPS has no exempt facilities. However, a certain

proportion of total facility energy use is process energy,

which is excluded from the requirements of Executive

Order 13123.

Renewable Energy

Self-Generated Renewable Energy

Two facilities in California and one in Rhode Island are

operating photovoltaic units. Geothermal heat pumps

have been installed at Postal facilities in the Eastern,

New York Metro, Southwest, and Great Lakes areas. At

least 11 such facilities are using this technology.
160

Purchased Renewable Energy

USPS continues to seek opportunities to purchase

renewable energy and encourages suppliers to do so in

instances where there is competition to supply power.

Million Solar Roofs

The Postal Service operates solar installations in

Rancho Mirage, California; and Block Island, Rhode

Island. These activities will continue and new ones will

be investigated as financing and opportunities become

available. 

Petroleum

USPS facility petroleum use in FY 2002 was

approximately 5 million gallons, a 19.6 percent

decrease from FY 2001. USPS petroleum consumption

is estimated from financial and price data.

Water Conservation

Total water use in USPS facilities increased slightly

from FY 2001 to FY 2002, while expenditures rose by

more than 4 percent. Water use declined slightly in

each year from 1999 to 2001 before stabilizing in 2002.

USPS has been focusing on water conservation

programs, setting benchmark standards, and comparing

actual use to the benchmark for each USPS

Performance Cluster. The number of clusters reaching

the standard has been rising through time, and USPS

will continue its efforts to provide guidance and support

for water conservation efforts.

The USPS water conservation program aims to meet or

exceed a target of 25 gallons per square foot of facility

per year. In FY 2002, roughly 85 percent of USPS

clusters met or exceeded this goal. USPS is working

with other clusters to meet the goal, surveying about

100 facilities with high water usage to identify actions

to increase conservation, developing pilot partnership

water conservation management projects, promoting

water conservation efforts, and issuing guidance and

support. In addition, USPS developed a High Risk

Water Geographic Information System Module in FY

2002 that identifies states that have water use

restrictions. 

Implementation Strategies

In FY 2000 the USPS developed a comprehensive

ten-year energy program. The major strategies of the

plan are: 

• Energy Surveys and Retrofits,

• Operations and Maintenance,

• New Construction (green building),

• Purchasing Utilities and Materials,

• Emerging Technologies,

• Management and Employee Awareness,

• Standardization and Benchmarking,

• Goals and Policy,

• Energy Crisis Management, and 

• Financing Methods. 

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Postal Service energy conservation projects are subject

to rate of return analysis, with a minimum required

return on investment of 20 percent. In determining

prospective returns on any project, the amount of

energy saved, the cost of that energy, and changes in

maintenance or other activities are taken into account.

While USPS can identify projects with promising

returns, it is also subject to extreme budgetary pressure

and therefore has sought outside sources of capital

investment (through shared energy savings programs)

whenever possible. 

Facility Energy Audits

USPS performs energy audits in the scope of broader

project analyses. Since 1992, all major facilities

operated by USPS have been surveyed (facilities larger

than 250,000 GSF). In addition, some USPS areas have

used a “Do it Yourself” audit mechanism for their

smaller facilities (below 5,000 GSF). For example, in

North Florida, a focused survey unearthed 236 separate

energy efficiency projects with potentially attractive

paybacks. 

Financing Mechanisms

USPS makes extensive use of shared energy savings

contracts. While many of these are local, USPS also is

experimenting with broader shared energy savings

projects that take in multiple facilities. USPS has found

shared energy savings to be one of the most efficient

means available to reduce energy use while preserving

needed capital for other purposes. In FY 2002, three

new contracts were implemented, involving $4.1

million in funding and promising 8.6 million

kilowatthours of electricity savings per year.

Energy Star® and Other Energy-Efficient Products

USPS has issued an environmental products directory

which is intended to aid personnel in locating energyefficient products and services. 

ENERG Y STAR®

 Buildings

In FY2002, USPS carried out a national survey of

energy use and operating characteristics of its stations

and branches throughout the country. The data was

organized into uniform format by USPS, and then

turned over to EPA for analysis and review. It is

expected that ENERGY STAR®

 criteria will be developed

for USPS Stations and Branches from these data, and

that individual facilities meeting the ENERGY STAR®

criteria will be identified. 
161

Sustainable Building Design

USPS has developed a variety of sustainable building

designs that incorporate “green” principles. These

design principles are contained in USPS’ Master

Specifications for facilities and are applied to all new

construction projects as well as to retrofits. In addition,

there is ongoing review to be sure that the sustainable

design principles remain current and consistent with

new technology.

Energy Efficiency in Lease Provisions

For leased facilities where USPS pays for utilities,

USPS energy policy and standards are applied. These

facilities are included in national energy program

initiatives, and in some instances USPS may retrofit the

facility. In leased space where the owner pays utility

costs, lease provisions are negotiated on a case-by-case

basis. 

Highly Efficient Systems

The USPS Corrales, New Mexico, facility uses straw

bales, a sustainable renewable resource, as insulation.

The R factor for the straw bale design is R-40 to 50,

two to three times greater than conventional insulating

materials. The Corrales facility was recognized by

General Services Administration in its annual

Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation in

2001. 

A feasibility study of combined heat and power has

been conducted at a Processing and Distribution Center

in Central Florida. USPS intends to proceed with the

project, which will make efficient use of steam heat

from a small electricity generating unit. 

A Lincoln, Nebraska, facility is using geothermal

energy to run its HVAC systems. Energy savings from

the hookup are being monitored and compared to a

conventionally powered USPS facility nearby. Also, the

Postal Service has a Memorandum of Understanding

with the Geothermal Heat Consortium to obtain design

assistance when a new or replacement facility is

considering geothermal as an energy source.

The South Raleigh Annex, in North Carolina, includes

a wide variety of energy-saving devices. These include

light colored roofing; an aluminum storefront with a

thermal break, LED exit lights; dimmable energyefficient, HID-pendent lighting; passive solar controls;

low-e glazing; occupancy sensors; increased R-value,

high efficiency HVAC system with full economizers,

(minimum SEER of 10), heat recovery and positive

pressure, and direct digital controls.

Off-Grid Generation

The Anchorage, Alaska, Processing and Distribution

Center is powered by fuel cells (four 200-kilowatt

units). Any power not consumed by the facility is fed

back to the grid. 

Electrical Load Reduction Measures

The USPS has installed meters at a number of

California facilities to allow real-time response to high

electricity prices at times of peak demand. Further,

capability is being installed to curb demand

significantly under such circumstances while

maintaining essential functions.

 

In addition, USPS has developed a Pacific Area Energy

Conservation Report and a Plan of Action for Energy

Conservation in the USPS New York Metro Area,

developed action plans in other areas, and coordinated

with FEMP on energy conservation strategies. The

USPS also has invited DOE’s Assessment of Load and

Energy Reduction Technique (ALERT) teams to survey

larger Postal facilities for purposes of identifying load

reduction options.

APPENDIX B

DATA COLLECTION

Standard Buildings and Facilities, Energy Intensive Facilities, and Exempt Facilities

The Federal agencies that own or control buildings are required to report the energy

consumption in these buildings to FEMP 45 days after the end of each fiscal year. The General

Services Administration (GSA) reports the energy of buildings it owns and operates, including

usage by other Federal agency occupants. For agencies which have been delegated authority by

GSA to enter into contracts for energy and utility services, the individual agencies are

responsible for reporting the energy consumption and square footage figures.

The data shown in this report do not include leased space in buildings where the energy costs are

a part of the rent and the Federal agency involved has no control over the building’s energy

management.

The Federal agencies submit their annual reports expressed in the following units: 

megawatthours of electricity; thousands of gallons of fuel oil; thousands of cubic feet of natural

gas; thousands of gallons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane; short tons of coal;

billions of Btu of purchased steam; and billions of Btu of “other.” DOE reviews this data for

accuracy and confers with the submitting agency to clarify any apparent anomalies. The data are

then entered into a computer database management program.

The tables shown in this Annual Report are expressed in billions of Btu derived from the

following conversion factors: 

Electricity - 3,412 Btu/kilowatt hour

Fuel Oil - 138,700 Btu/gallon

Natural Gas - 1,031 Btu/cubic foot

LPG/Propane - 95,500 Btu/gallon

Coal - 24,580,000 Btu/short ton

Purchased Steam - 1,000 Btu/pound

The above conversion factors for electricity and purchased steam refer to site-delivered energy

(or heat content) and do not account for energy consumed in the production and delivery of

energy products. Tables 1-A, 5-A, and 8-B of this report account for primary energy use, which

is the sum of the energy directly consumed by end users (site energy) and the energy consumed

in the production and delivery of energy products. According to the EIA, in 1999, steam electric

utility plants (the largest source of electricity generation) were estimated to have used 10,346

Btu of fossil fuel energy to generate 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity. DOE uses this conversion

factor to calculate primary energy use for electricity and 1,390 Btu per pound for purchased

steam.

In addition, the Federal agencies annually report to FEMP the gross square footage of their

buildings and the cost of their buildings’ energy.
B-2

Vehicles and Equipment

The fuels used in vehicles and equipment are automotive gasoline, diesel and petroleum distillate

fuels, aviation gasoline, jet fuel, navy special, liquefied petroleum gas/propane, and "other." All

fuels in this category with the exception of "other" are reported in thousands of gallons. "Other"

is reported in billions of Btu.

The conversion factors for these fuels are:

Gasoline - 125,000 Btu/gallon

Diesel-Distillate - 138,700 Btu/gallon

Aviation Gasoline - 125,000 Btu/gallon

Jet Fuel - 130,000 Btu/gallon

Navy Special - 138,700 Btu/gallon

LPG/Propane - 95,500 Btu/gallon

This report excludes those agencies that have been unable to provide complete fiscal year

consumption data prior to the publication date. All agency omissions, as well as any anomalies

in the data, are indicated by footnotes on the tables or in the text of the report.
B-3

Calculation of Estimated Carbon Emissions

In the past, DOE tracked and reported aggregate energy use for all Federal agencies and

estimated carbon emissions using national fuel-specific emission factors. This approach,

however, resulted in less accurate emission estimates for electricity use because carbon emission

factors for electricity vary significantly by utility and State depending on the resource used to

generate the electricity (e.g., coal, gas, nuclear, hydro).

To obtain a greater level of accuracy in estimating emissions from electricity use, DOE

developed a new approach that places little or no additional reporting burden on the agencies. 

Agencies continue to report their aggregated national-level electricity consumption data as they

have in the past. DOE then takes that total consumption figure and apportions it across the States

in which the agency has facility locations. DOE will then multiply the apportioned electricity

usage by the appropriate regional-level carbon emission factor assigned to each State. Once

emissions from electricity use are calculated, these will be added to the emissions estimated

from the other fuels used by the agency to determine total carbon emissions. (National factors

may be appropriately used for fuel oil, natural gas, LPG/propane, coal, and purchased steam.)

DOE estimated State electricity usage by determining the percentage of facility floor area for the

agency and apportioning the reported total electricity use according to that percentage. For the

purposes of estimating changes in greenhouse gas emissions over time, DOE is assuming that

floor area can be used as a reasonable proxy to represent the State-level usage pattern for

electricity consumption for an agency. DOE uses historical square footage data for Governmentowned buildings from GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy, Office of Real Property to

determine each agency’s percentage floor area for each State. 

DOE uses factors derived from data from EIA for estimating carbon emissions from non-electric

fuels on a nation-wide basis. The regional emissions factors for electricity were calculated by

summing the annual EIA data on electricity sales and carbon emissions for each State in a given

region. These sums were then used to calculate the regional emissions/kWh (which were then

converted to MMTCE/Quad). This value will be used for each State in a particular region.
