My Definition
• Successful Federal Energy Management = Engaging sub-agency culture to induce key stakeholders to initiate energy projects at priority (large) facilities + energy tracking
Federal Energy Management
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade7
Developing an Energy Culture through Outreach
• Foster recognition at Coast Guard Headquarters
• Engage greater Coast Guard in energy efforts– Newsletters, Banners, Pubs– Awards– Training– Energy Summits
• Inspire altruism from key stakeholders– Support them
• Catalyst for cultural and behavioral change
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade8
• Project Definition Document
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Discussion with key stakeholders
• Selecting sites and Utility Partners
Defining and Aligning Projects

A Look at a Campus
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade12
Difference Between Building & Campus
Buildings Campuses
One building manager and small staff One facility manager and small staff with contractors
Control/monitor building sub-systems Monitor whole buildings, control multi-building systems, often multiple legacy systems
Manage building efficiently, support single mission Manage buildings to effectively support multi-missions
Usually single tenant Multiple tenant and tenant managements
Easy to meter building and major systems Complex to meter campus and individual buildings
Few stakeholders involved in acquisition planning Multiple stakeholders involved in acquisition planning
Limits on deep retrofits, unable to make large property changes Electric security options, potential for heating/cooling plants
Limited area for RE More property for potential RE
Energy Intensity contained to building Many loads external to buildings add to campus energy intensity

Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade18
• Brainstorming session – multiple agencies – Late April 2015 – Outcome report, continuing outreach and progress reports– Currently aligning resources,
• CEQ Green Grid Procurement Working Group– Evaluating potential for aggregated load PJM procurements similar to GSA and Navy– Can we accomplish with reduced ITC?
• GSA – – REopt Analyses for at least Top 50 of 196 covered facilities– Seek best location potential for PPAs, ESPCs, Green Grid Procurements– Business case for contracting officer support?
• Air Force – – Requested strategic plan for energy resiliency (DOE and NREL)– Pilot project?– Overlap with RE and Green Grid Procurement
• Dept. of Commerce -– Customer Service Group entering into Memorandum of Agreement
• Large Campuses for NIST and NOAA
Program Status
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade19
• VA –– Collaborating to renew ESPC processes– Green Grid procurements TBD
• Smart Labs Challenge -– Federal, State, Academic, Private Labs– Potentially Work with I2SL– Planning brainstorming session at I2SL September Workshop
• Dept. of Commerce -– Customer Service Group entering into Memorandum of Agreement
• Large Campuses for NIST and NOAA• Explore improved audit methodology• RE Feasibility Studies
• Case Studies and Best Practices -– Analyzing FEMP website for effective display
Execution Status - Continued
