SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description of training provided by the 
Office of Federal Energy Management Programs is as follows:

Renewable Energy Projects Workshop

    This course is intended for Federal facility managers and 
associated architects and engineers who are interested in incorporating 
renewable resource technologies into new or retrofit building projects. 
The course includes 4 distinct modules.
    <bullet> An integrated renewables/energy efficient approach to new 
construction/major renovation;
    <bullet> Renewable measures that may be applicable for building 
retrofits;
    <bullet> Renewable technologies that can be used for electrical 
generation; and,
    <bullet> Procurement pitfalls and issues and financing that is 
applicable to all types of renewables.

(2 days. No tuition fee.)

Water Resource Management Workshop
    Assists Federal resource managers in incorporating water efficiency 
into their project assessment, planning, and implementation programs as 
required by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) and E.O. 12902. The 
Course includes the following topics:
    <bullet> Federal water use;
    <bullet> The impacts of conservation practices;
    <bullet> The legal framework for water management;
    <bullet> Auditing, metering, and leak detection;
    <bullet> Conservation opportunities; and,
    <bullet> Water resource acquisition.

(2 days, no tuition fee.)

Federal Energy Management Workshop

    The Federal Energy Management Workshop summarizes current practices 
in alternative financing, facility operation and maintenance, and 
energy auditing and provides training toward meeting the EPAct 
``trained energy manager'' requirements. EPAct defines a ``trained 
energy manager'' as a person who has completed a course of study in the 
areas of:
    <bullet> Fundamentals of building energy systems;
    <bullet> Building energy codes and applicable professional 
standards; [[Page 15554]] 
    <bullet> Energy accounting and analysis;
    <bullet> Life-cycle cost methodologies;
    <bullet> Fuel supply and pricing; and,
    <bullet> Instrumentation for energy surveys and audits.

(2 days. No tuition fee.)

Designing Low Energy Building Workshop for Non-Residential Buildings

    Formerly known as the Passive Solar Design Strategy Workshop, the 
course addresses whole building design, stressing the integration of 
daylighting, energy efficient equipment, and passive solar design 
strategies. Case studies and analysis for various climates are 
included.

(2 days. No tuition fee.)

Designing Low Energy Building Workshop for Residential Buildings

    For personnel involved in the Federal residential building design 
process, this course can be tailored for your installations and 
conducted there, as requested and approved.

(1 day. No tuition fee.)

Life Cycle Costing/A Simplified Energy Analysis Method (ASEAM) Workshop

    Basic for all energy improvement projects, the first two days of 
this course include instruction in LCC economic evaluation methods and 
an introduction to LCC software use in project design, sizing, and 
selection. Retrofit case examples and class team problems will be 
explored. The third day includes hands-on instruction in the use of the 
ASEAM software tool for simulating the impact of energy retrofits in 
buildings. A working knowledge of IBM-compatible microcomputers is 
required.

(3 days. No tuition fee.)

Federal Energy Decision Screening (FEDS) Workshop

    Designed for Federal agency-level and installation-level energy 
managers who want to identify cost-effective site-specific energy 
system revitalization projects. The workshop includes hands-on use of 
the FEDS level-1 analytical software for site project screening and 
prioritizing and FEDS level-2 software for analyzing specific 
improvements.

(2\1/2\ days. No tuition fee.)

Federal Relighting Initiative (FRI) Workshop

    The FRI workshop is targeted at Federal personnel responsible for 
lighting analysis, procurement, planning, and the installation of life-
cycle cost-effective technology. The objective is to provide guidance 
on energy-efficient lighting consistent with other facility lighting 
considerations, quality and cost, and whole building analysis. Topics 
include:
    <bullet> Basic lighting concepts; a comprehensive process for 
Federal relighting project development and implementation;
    <bullet> Application of the Federal Lighting Expert (FLEX) System 
and other analytical software tools; and,
    <bullet> The use of professional lighting design services.
    An additional half-day is for hands-on problem solving using 
software tools.

(2\1/2\ days. No tuition fee.)

Energy Savings Performance (ESP) Contracting

    EPAct streamlined the process for awarding shared energy savings 
contracts through the use of ESP contracting. This course places the 
ESP approach in the context of other financing options and will 
familiarize technical facility management personnel and procurement 
specialists with this form of third party financing for performing 
energy saving retrofits on buildings. Course materials include model 
solicitation on diskette. Topics include: ESP concepts and statutory 
basis, solicitation design and preparation, proposal evaluation, and 
contract implementation. Students will look at case histories and 
discuss the selection of candidate ESP project sites and receive hands-
on help for specific projects they bring to the class.

(4 days. No tuition fee.)
