NASA Energy and Water

Management Program

Small Changes. Big Impact.

NASA’s vision for energy and water 

management is simple: Accomplish our 

mission using the minimum amount of energy 

and water required.

Our 13 Energy and Water Managers and 

their teams are leading the Agency in fulfilling 

that vision. NASA’s remarkable success 

depends on help from thousands of you

within our workforce—equipment operators, 

maintenance staff, engineers, procurement 

specialists, not to mention every single person 

who takes the time to turn off the lights when 

no one’s home.

From FY07 through FY22

That’s enough electricity to power more than 1,500 single-family 

homes for one year, or almost 37 times the annual generation of 

the International Space Station solar arrays

Over 1 billion gallons saved, enough water to fill more than 

1,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools, or provide deluge water 

for 2,300 SLS launches from KSC Launch Pad 39B

In FY22, our utility bill was

$132M
