SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

The Application will be reviewed 

pursuant to section 3 of the NGA, as 

amended, and the authority contained 

in DOE Delegation Order No. 00– 

002.00N (July 11, 2013) and DOE 

Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04F 

(July 11, 2013). In reviewing this LNG 

export application, DOE will consider 

domestic need for the gas, as well as any 

other issues determined to be 

appropriate, including whether the 

arrangement is consistent with DOE’s 

policy of promoting competition in the 

marketplace by allowing commercial 

parties to freely negotiate their own 

trade arrangements. Parties that may 

oppose this application should 

comment in their responses on these 

issues. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4231, et seq., 

requires DOE to give appropriate 

consideration to the environmental 

effects of its proposed decisions. No 

final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its NEPA 

responsibilities.

may file a protest, comments, or a 

motion to intervene or notice of 

intervention, as applicable. Any person 

wishing to become a party to the 

proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene or notice of intervention. The 

filing of comments or a protest with 

respect to the Application will not serve 

to make the commenter or protestant a 

party to the proceeding, although 

protests and comments received from 

persons who are not parties will be 

considered in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the availability for 

public comment of the draft document 

‘‘Transaction-Based Building Controls 

Framework, Volume 1: Reference 

Guide’’. A new building diagnostic and 

controls revolution is underway within 

the buildings sector, primarily in the 

commercial buildings sector. In it, 

application-based systems are 

presenting an opportunity to implement 

strategies in which highly ‘‘optimized’’ 

control capable of constantly increasing 

efficiency levels while improving 

resource allocation is an inherent 

attribute of the strategy rather than an 

explicitly programmed feature. These 

building controls and algorithms can 

also be part of deep retrofits in existing 

buildings that result in energy savings 

not just today, but also ensure persistent 

energy savings over the life of the 

buildings. At the same time, the 

introduction of sensors and controls, as 

well as information technology and 

communication protocols between the 

buildings and the electric grid, has led 

to digitized sensing, metering, 

communication and controls. 

Using these technological advances 

and careful coordination, buildings 

could provide valuable comfort and 

productivity services to building owners 

and occupants, such as automatically 

and continuously improving building 

operations and maintenance, while at 

the same time reducing energy costs. 

The above-mentioned document 

proposes a framework concept to 

achieve the objectives of raising 

buildings’ efficiency and energy savings 

potential benefiting building owners 

and operators. We call it a transactionbased building controls’ framework, 

wherein mutually-beneficial and costeffective market-based transactions can 

be enabled between multiple players 

across different domains. 

DOE is particularly interested in 

public comment on the following list of 

questions embedded within the 

document. 

1. What do you think of the 

Transactive Energy future state 

described here? 

2. Are there other or better ways to 

make buildings smarter? 

3. How smart do buildings need to be 

and why? 

4. Are there other examples of 

Transactive Energy implementation that 

should be included? Please provide 

details, reports and studies that you 

might be aware of documenting the 

results of such implementations. 

5. Are these four categories of 

exchangeable services comprehensive 

enough? If not, should they be expanded 

in scope? Or, should additional 

categories be defined? 

6. What are some other reports/

studies that cover/support/illustrate 

these topics of services and service 

categories? 

7. Are there other important networks 

that need to be illustrated? 

8. Are there other (project) 

demonstration examples to be included? 

Are there other important categories of 

transactions? 

9. What are some additional use cases 

for this end-user service category? 

Please see the use-case template in 

section 8.0 to provide your inputs. 

10. Are there additional or better use 

cases for this energy market service 

category? Please see the use-case 

template in section 8.0 to provide your 

inputs. 

11. Can you describe additional use 

cases for this grid service category? 

Please see the use-case template in 

section 8.0 to provide your inputs. 

12. What are some additional use 

cases for this societal service category? 

Please see the use-case template in 

section 8.0 to provide your inputs. 

The public comment period ends 

November 10, 2014 to provide 

interested parties adequate time to 

prepare and submit comments and DOE 

will consider any comments received by 

that date. The report is available at
