by section 324A of the Energy Policy and Conserva-
tion Act. 
‘‘(4) FEMP DESIGNATED PRODUCT.—The term 
‘FEMP designated product’ means a product that is 
designated under the Federal Energy Management 
Program of the Department of Energy as being 
among the highest 25 percent of equivalent products 
for energy efficiency. 
‘‘(b) PROCUREMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PROD-
UCTS.—
‘‘(1) REQUIREMENT.—To meet the require-
ments of an agency for an energy consuming prod-
uct, the head of the agency shall, except as provided 
in paragraph (2), procure—
‘‘(A) an Energy Star product; or 
‘‘(B) a FEMP designated product. 
‘‘(2) EXCEPTIONS.—The head of an agency is 
not required to procure an Energy Star product or 
FEMP designated product under paragraph (1) if 
the head of the agency finds in writing that—
‘‘(A) an Energy Star product or FEMP 
designated product is not cost-effective over the 
life of the product taking energy cost savings 
into account; or
‘‘(B) no Energy Star product or FEMP 
designated product is reasonably available that 
meets the functional requirements of the agen-
cy. 
‘‘(3) PROCUREMENT PLANNING.—The head of 
an agency shall incorporate into the specifications 
for all procurements involving energy consuming 
products and systems, including guide specifications, 
project specifications, and construction, renovation, 
and services contracts that include provision of en-
ergy consuming products and systems, and into the 
factors for the evaluation of offers received for the 
procurement, criteria for energy efficiency that are 
consistent with the criteria used for rating Energy 
Star products and for rating FEMP designated 
products. 
‘‘(c) LISTING OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS IN 
FEDERAL CATALOGS.—Energy Star products and FEMP 
designated products shall be clearly identified and promi-
nently displayed in any inventory or listing of products 
by the General Services Administration or the Defense Lo-
gistics Agency. The General Services Administration or 
the Defense Logistics Agency shall supply only Energy 
Star products or FEMP designated products for all prod-
uct categories covered by the Energy Star program or the
Federal Energy Management Program, except in cases 
where the agency ordering a product specifies in writing 
that no Energy Star product or FEMP designated product 
is available to meet the buyer’s functional requirements, 
or that no Energy Star product or FEMP designated 
product is cost-effective for the intended application over 
the life of the product, taking energy cost savings into ac-
count. 
‘‘(d) SPECIFIC PRODUCTS.—(1) In the case of elec-
tric motors of 1 to 500 horsepower, agencies shall select 
only premium efficient motors that meet a standard des-
ignated by the Secretary. The Secretary shall designate 
such a standard not later than 120 days after the date 
of the enactment of this section, after considering the rec-
ommendations of associated electric motor manufacturers 
and energy efficiency groups. 
‘‘(2) All Federal agencies are encouraged to take ac-
tions to maximize the efficiency of air conditioning and 
refrigeration equipment, including appropriate cleaning 
and maintenance, including the use of any system treat-
ment or additive that will reduce the electricity consumed 
by air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Any such 
treatment or additive must be—
‘‘(A) determined by the Secretary to be effective 
in increasing the efficiency of air conditioning and
