Abstract

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) promotes best practices for impactful utilization of Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) at federal facilities, as detailed in the EMIS Technical Resources Report. A series of best practices documents was created by FEMP to help accelerate the market adoption and use of EMIS in the federal sector. This document highlights best practices for supporting EMIS use at federal facilities.

Best Practices for Energy Management Information Systems Metadata Schemas

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) promotes best practices for impactful utilization of Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) at federal facilities. This best practice document is part of a series of fact sheets created to help accelerate the market adoption and use of EMIS in the federal sector. The use of standard naming conventions and a metadata schema, which may be referred to as 'data tags,' improves the ability of the EMIS to consistently analyze, visualize, and derive value from operational data. To help address these issues, this fact sheet highlights best practices for use of metadata in an EMIS stack, which can significantly reduce the initial time required to deploy an EMIS.

Best Practices for Enhancing Performance Contracts with Monitoring-Based Commissioning

Fact sheet highlights best practices for incorporating monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx), a type of energy management information system (EMIS), in performance contracts. It draws from the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) report, Enhancing Performance Contracts Using Monitoring-based Commissioning. MBCx is commercially available, yet is underutilized in performance contracts. MBCx can result in significant benefits for both a federal facility and the performance contractor.
