An overview of the federal energy management toolkit

TL;DRAbstract

The federal government is the single largest energy user in the US. The annual cost to the American taxpayer for supplying energy to buildings, facilities, and operations within the federal sector is $5 billion. Several estimates have been produced projecting that up to 40% of this annual cost could be saved through energy efficient actions. Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) and other DOE laboratories provide technical assistance to the Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and other federal agencies to identify, evaluate, and prioritize the most cost-effective actions to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs at federal installations. A key feature of this program is the development and application of a comprehensive set of software tools, analyses, procedures, operations and maintenance approaches, and the transfer of knowledge through technical assistance and demonstration activities. PNL and other federal laboratories are cooperating with F
