Section 543 of the National Energy Conservation Pol-
icy Act (42 U.S.C. 8253) is further amended by adding at
the end the following:
‘‘(e) METERING OF ENERGY USE.—
‘‘(1) DEADLINE.—By October 1, 2004, all Fed-
eral buildings shall, for the purposes of efficient use
of energy and reduction in the cost of electricity used
in such buildings, be metered or submetered in ac-
cordance with guidelines established by the Secretary
under paragraph (2). Each agency shall use, to the
maximum extent practicable, advanced meters or ad-
vanced metering devices that provide data at least
daily and that measure at least hourly consumption
of electricity in the Federal buildings of the agency.
Such data shall be incorporated into existing Federal
energy tracking systems and made available to Fed-
eral facility energy managers.
‘‘(2) GUIDELINES.—
‘‘(A) IN
GENERAL.—Not later than 180
days after the date of enactment of this sub-
section, the Secretary, in consultation with the

Department of Defense, the General Services Ad-
ministration and representatives from the meter-
ing industry, utility industry, energy services
industry, energy efficiency industry, national
laboratories, universities and Federal facility en-
ergy managers, shall establish guidelines for
agencies to carry out paragraph (1).

‘‘(I) the cost of metering and sub-
metering and the reduced cost of oper-
ation and maintenance expected to re-
sult from metering and submetering;
‘‘(II) the extent to which metering
and submetering are expected to result
in increased potential for energy man-
agement, increased potential for energy
savings and energy efficiency improve-
ment, and cost and energy savings due
to utility contract aggregation; and
‘‘(III) 
the 
measurement 
and
verification protocols of the Depart-
ment of Energy;
