Fact sheet describes the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and includes information about its mission and stakeholders, five main focus areas, and resources it offers for federal agencies.
The federal government is the nation's largest energy consumer. Mandated by law, the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) works with its stakeholders to enable federal agencies to meet energy-related goals, identify affordable solutions, facilitate public-private partnerships, and provide energy leadership to the country by identifying government best practices.
Fact sheet describes the Federal Energy Management Program's training initiative and outlines its offerings for federal agencies.
Fact sheet describes the Federal Energy Management Program and its mission, and outlines top priorities to achieve key federal agency statutory requirements for facility energy and water management.
The Federal Energy Management Program provided technical support to the National Park Service (NPS) for a selected number of renewable energy projects at national park sites across the United States.
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provided technical support to the National Park Service (NPS) for a selected number of renewable energy projects at national park sites across the United States. FEMP helps federal agencies develop and implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects at federal sites to meet energy goals and mandates.
Brochure offers an overview of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), which provides agencies and organizations with the information, tools, and assistance they need to achieve their energy-related requirements and goals through specialized initiatives.
The Federal Energy Management Program is working to develop a standard, agency-neutral energy and water technical resilience navigator (TRN) to assist federal agencies with their resilience planning efforts, building on agency-expressed needs. The TRN Communications Plan defines how the project team and FEMP will generate awareness of the TRN, recruit validators, encourage its use across federal agencies, increase awareness among various audiences, and solicit user feedback on its usefulness including suggestions for improvement. In support of this purpose, the communications plan characterizes the key audiences, messages, communications channels, and activities needed to help ensure success. The role of communications is to define strategy and ensure leadership and consistency in messaging, writing, outreach, media relations, editing, and design related to the TRN.
The US Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) aims to assist federal agencies and their stakeholders with their energy-focused goals, opportunities, and barriers. The program offers various technical trainings and resources to its stakeholders. One of these resources is an energy treasure hunt program. This report presents the FEMP energy treasure hunt toolkit, a technical resource designed for systematic application for federal facilities seeking to optimize their energy and carbon usage. The toolkit was designed to help facilitate energy-focused kaizen events, identify energy-saving recommendations, analyze identified opportunities, and provide the tools needed to detect actionable projects to advance federal facilities. Through a collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory team that executed the industrial-focused Better Plants energy treasure hunt program, a similar treasure hunt toolkit was designed for FEMP. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the treasure hunt process and FEMP toolkit capabilities.
Fact sheet describes a Federal Energy Management Program Federal Energy and Water Management Award-winning project that deployed an innovative thermosyphon cooler (TSC) as a test bed on the roof of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF). In combination with existing evaporative towers, the TSC forms an extremely water-and cost-efficient hybrid cooling system.
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborated in a strategic partnership to advance federal critical infrastructure resilience and develop a Resilience Framework to apply across the DHS enterprise. The partnership also established resilience performance metrics and monitoring guidelines, identified best practices for resilience technologies and solutions, and provided technical support.
Lighting consumes a great deal of electrical energy in buildings, and the U.S. federal government is the largest single energy consumer in the United States. Therefore, the way that the U.S. federal government manages its lighting energy use is of great importance. One important way that energy use is managed is through Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) energy efficiency requirements. However, there is not much literature on how these requirements are set and how to value the resulting savings. This paper documents the methodology used to develop these for the 2017 FEMP lighting update. A methodology for calculating the total benefits is presented that goes beyond site energy saved, and includes full fuel cycle energy savings, energy cost savings, emissions offset and monetized emissions costs. The results show total benefits of $33 million USD including 475 kilotons of carbon dioxide (CO2) offset under the low compliance scenario, $104 million USD including 1494 kilotons of CO2 offset under the medium compliance scenario, and $217 million USD including 3124 kilotons of CO2 offset under the high compliance scenario.
With more than 350,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles, the federal government is America’s largest single energy consumer. There is a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to lead by example in cutting energy waste and advancing America’s clean energy future. The progress the federal government has made to date, through public-private partnerships and successful approaches, should be leveraged to show leadership to the nation and continue to make significant contributions to our national energy and environmental goals.
In 2014, the Mickey Leland Federal Building in Houston, Texas installed a 192 kW PV system on top of its parking structure. To monitor and optimize its performance, the General Services Administration, which manages the site, responded to the Federal Energy Management Program’s request for federal agency participation in the Federal Energy Management Program Solar PV Performance Initiative.
Fact sheet describes how the Federal Energy Management Program helps federal agencies implement data center energy efficiency projects.
As the U.S. Coast Guard's third largest energy consumer, the 86-year-old Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, was ripe for an energy management overhaul. That overdue overhaul was made possible by the largest utility energy service contract (UESC) in U.S. Department of Homeland Security history. Awarded in September 2017, the $72.6 million contract provided for $39 million in capital improvements and is expected to cut total energy costs by 80% - more than $2 million - each year. On-site generation of 82% of the site's electricity needs will dramatically improve site-wide resilience, and savings generated from implementation of the project will pay for all project costs. The UESC project team developed and executed an energy management project to meet several priority objectives, including implementing essential infrastructure improvements, increasing reliability, and enhancing resilience - and engaged the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Utility Partnerships Program for project assistance.
