work closely with experts from the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (DOE FEMP) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). On April 16, 2014, DOI and DOE signed a Memorandum of Understanding entitled, “Partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of the Interior Concerning Cooperation in a Strategic Partnership to Achieve Excellence in Sustainability and Energy Performance” (Strategic Partnership). A number of tasks under the Strategic Partnership were completed in FY 2015.
B. Management Tools 1. Awards
Interior bureaus take advantage of incentive programs to reward their exceptional employees. Interior actively participates in FEMP awards programs and related awareness campaigns. Interior also holds its own Environmental Achievement Awards, many of which focus on energy and water conservation. Four Interior nominations were recipients of DOE’s FY 2015 Federal Energy and Water Management Awards:
BOR - Tom Scott (Career Exceptional Service Award). Tom Scott of the BOR Lahontan Basin Area Office, Nevada, received a Career Exceptional Service Award for contributions to the establishment of the Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA). This agreement will provide for flexibility in reservoir operations and improve water use efficiency through water exchanges between parties. BOR owns four reservoirs within the Truckee River basin, which provide storage for basin water uses, including municipal and industrial supply to the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area of Nevada; agricultural water to BOR’s Newlands irrigation project; and water for threatened and endangered species including the Lahontan cutthroat trout and cui-ui, a large sucker fish endemic to Pyramid Lake (the terminus of the Truckee River). TROA’s innovative system of water exchanges and credit water storage will help to buffer the region against the effects of drought, increase the flow of water to support endangered species, and improve recreational opportunities on the Truckee River. Mr. Scott served as the lead engineer guiding efforts for the computer modeling required for implementation of TROA and the associated Environmental Impact Statement, and his expertise was instrumental in the 18-year long negotiation of the agreement.
BOR - Animas-La Plata Permanent Operating Facility (Project Award). BOR’s Animas-La Plata Permanent Operating Facility (POF) received a Project Award for its newly constructed high performance and sustainable building. The POF, located in in Southwestern Colorado, has attained a certification of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold. It also meets 100 percent of the Guiding Principles for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (Guiding Principles) for new construction, as required by Executive Order. As such, the POF met every applicable requirement for integrated design, water and energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and materials. The combination of a passive solar wall; a high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system; efficient lighting; and natural lighting provide significant energy savings. Indoor and outdoor water is conserved via efficient plumbing fixtures and fittings and the use of xeriscape and natural landscaping, which does not require any permanent irrigation.

All told, the energy-efficient design is estimated to avoid 52 metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year, equivalent to the annual emissions of 11 vehicles. The POF is a bright example of how incorporation of and adherence to Federal Executive Order and BOR standards results in greener and more efficient new building design and construction.
FWS - Corn Creek Administrative Office and Visitor Center, Desert National Wildlife Refuge (Project Award). The FWS’s Corn Creek Administrative Office and Visitor Center (Visitor Center) at Desert National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Nevada, earned a Project Award. The Visitor Center is a new high-performance, LEED Platinum-certified facility that is designed to achieve net zero energy use. Net-metered solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays totaling 91.5 kilowatts (kW) provide renewable electricity for all energy needs. The HVAC system’s 23.5 ton water-source heat pumps and hydronic piping circulate surface water from an onsite pond to a geo-heat exchanger in the building to provide heating and cooling needs at a fraction of the energy use of traditional air source heat pumps. No petroleum products generate heat or electricity. Total annual renewable energy production is approximately 608.3 million British thermal units (MMBTU). Low-flow WaterSense® plumbing fixtures reduce the building’s potable water consumption 40.4 percent below current standards, saving approximately 7,100 gallons per year. Xeriscaping with wildlife-friendly native plants and forbs and limited drip irrigation avoids chemical application and reduces outdoor water use by about 84.7 percent or over 663,000 gallons. Overall, the project avoids at least 98 metric tons of GHG emissions annually, the average annual emissions of 21 cars.
FWS - Northeast Regional Office (Project Award) – Joint Submission with GSA. FWS won a second Project Award for its Northeast Regional Office, an 80,600 gross square-foot General Services Administration (GSA)-provided building in Hadley, Massachusetts. A multi-year effort by a regional FWS “Green Team,” GSA, and Pearson, the building owner’s representative, made remarkable strides in renewable energy and sustainability, reducing electricity consumption by approximately 600,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) and natural gas consumption by approximately 2,408 MMBTU in FY 2014. A new roof-mounted, net-metered 108 kW PV system over a new cool roof can contribute up to 12 percent of electrical energy used on-site. Low-flow WaterSense® plumbing will save an estimated 136,425 gallons of potable water annually. Multiple sustainable strategies combine to avoid at least 354 metric tons of GHG emissions per year, equal to taking 75 cars off the road. The U.S. Green Building Council awarded the building with a LEED for Existing Buildings - Operations & Maintenance Gold rating in February 2014. Lastly, two pollinator gardens featuring pollinator-friendly plants were created in support of the June 2014 Presidential Memorandum, “Creating a Federal Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators.”
DOI also holds its own internal awards competition – the Environmental Achievement Awards. Four of the winners of this competition included aspects of energy and water conservation (described below):
BOR - Animas-La Plata Permanent Operating Facility. See description above. BOR - Four Corners Construction Office. The Four Corners Construction Office
(FCCO) building, New Mexico, became the first BOR remodeling effort to achieve 100 percent of the Guiding Principles. The remodeling of this 33-year old, 21,000 square foot facility included upgrades to the HVAC system, replacement of the

insulation, and retrofit of the lighting. Through these efficiencies and others, the facility reduced its energy consumption by 52 percent, resulting in a monthly cost savings of $1,585, and reduced GHG emissions by an estimated 65.9 metric tons per year. The FCCO’s remodeling efforts allowed for the combining of two GSA leased spaces into one BOR-managed facility, resulting in an estimated cost savings of $3.81 million over the next 10 years.
FWS - Corn Creek Administrative Office and Visitor Center, Desert National Wildlife Refuge. See description above.
USGS - Storm Water Management National Center, National Center. The USGS Storm Water Management Team turned a 50-year-old public transit road at the National Center in Virginia that was prone to flooding and runoff into infrastructure compliant with EISA 2007. As a result of their coordinated efforts with GSA, an original construction design that would allow almost 100 percent of stormwater to runoff into streams and rivers became green infrastructure allowing over 95 percent of the stormwater to percolate through the soil. The system has a drainage capacity of 51,500 cubic feet (ft3), which is 30 percent greater than the calculated annual storage need of 36,201 ft3 and includes inspection ports to observe if any of the 18 drainage areas are clogged or retaining water. The ability to monitor the drainage areas for repairs results in an easily maintained and sustainable stormwater infiltration system.
2. Performance Evaluations
Interior recognizes the Energy Management Program responsibilities of facility managers, energy managers, designers, and senior leadership through the identification and incorporation of their responsibilities in performance evaluations and position descriptions.
3. Training and Education
Energy Management Training: In FY 2015, energy management and sustainability training was provided for 734 personnel. 47 Departmental energy and sustainability professionals attended the three-day Energy Exchange training event in Phoenix, Arizona (August 11-13). DOI attendees participated in a wide range of presentations on energy management and leadership, new technologies and innovation, and sustainable buildings, and met separately to discuss Bureau initiatives and successes. Energy managers from BOR and FWS presented sessions on sustainability efforts within their bureaus. Additionally, the FWS Energy Coordinator presented a session at the Engineering, Transportation, and Asset Management Meeting in Sacramento, California, on February 4, 2015. Interior energy managers provided information to personnel on available energy management training, and encouraged them to attend as much training as operational requirements and funding permitted. Energy managers involved in building energy efficiency and water conservation have attended training and workshops offered by FEMP and the First Thursdays mini-seminars. Several personnel have also attended training offered by other organizations such as the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the Green Building Research Institute, and the
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative

American Association of Energy Engineers. DOI energy personnel attended on-site training and satellite broadcasts of FEMP courses on meeting ASHRAE sustainable performance and design requirements, metering technologies, power purchase agreements, energy savings performance contracts (ESPC), and utility energy savings contracts (UESC). DOI bureaus led multiple training sessions on the Energy Specialist role of the Financial Business Management System (FBMS), DOI’s single system for accounting and financial management, contracting, personal property, fleet and real property management, grants and cooperative agreements management, travel and enterprise reporting. These Energy Specialists maintain monthly cost and consumption records to satisfy energy reporting requirements. The BLM Sustainability Inspection Compliance Assessment Safety, Health, and the Environment (SI CASHE) Team conducts training and inspections of facilities that exceed 5,000 gross square feet in size. The team inspects each facility for sustainability to identify deficiencies, provide recommendations, and instruct each office on the remedies for bringing their facilities into federal compliance for sustainability with regard to the Guiding Principles. Every BLM state engineer is educated in the benefits of sustainable actions and provided seed money for the design, construction, and purchase of sustainable features including energy saving devices. BLM released a Sustainability Inspection Training film based on the SI CASHE process in April 2015, which was funded by DOE through the Strategic Partnership. This training course is now available on DOI’s internal training website, DOILearn, to educate facilities engineering personnel in BLM and other Interior bureaus on how to make their facilities more energy, water, and environmentally friendly. A number of BOR offices have instituted Green Teams to discuss sustainability issues and develop strategies for continued improvements in energy, water, and GHG emission reductions; sustainable building operations; waste management; and other sustainability goals. For example, the Mid-Pacific Region holds an Annual Energy Best Practices Meeting, the Glen Canyon Field Division keeps the management team informed of its efforts and progress in sustainability by integrating sustainability topics into regularly scheduled staff meetings, and the Minidoka Project staff is training facility employees on energy- and cost-saving best practices. Additionally, to meet the goals of EO 13693, BOR is implementing a sustainability training series in FY 2016. Training will focus on key topics that foster staff understanding of sustainability requirements and best practices that make progress towards Federal sustainability goals. Energy management-related training will include “buying green,” building commissioning, metering requirements and strategies, and common energy conservation measures (ECMs) for energy efficiency. FWS worked with FEMP to develop an online operations and maintenance training for small-scale solar PV technology. The solar PV O&M eTraining course aired successfully to a wide audience at FEMP’s “First Thursday” seminar on December 4, 2014. The course is now included in the FEMP list of eTraining offerings and is available on-demand on the Whole Building Design Guide website. FWS personnel participated in a Sustainable Buildings Assessment Training Pilot Program in Idaho Falls and Twin Falls, Idaho, and Southwestern Utah in conjunction with the Department and BLM. NPS offered numerous trainings during FY 2015, including sessions on the requirements of EO 13693, energy and water reporting through FBMS, and the ESPC ENABLE program. NPS updated the Green Parks Plan web toolkit, which provides personnel with the
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative
-7-
resources necessary to understand and address energy management requirements. In addition, nine Climate Friendly Parks workshops were offered to help park employees learn about climate change, develop mitigation action plans, integrate sustainability into operations, and educate the public. NPS issues an annual Sustainability News, explaining the requirements of energy management and highlighting techniques and best practices used by parks in order to meet these requirements. The USGS National Center in Reston, Virginia, held an Earth Day Expo in April 2015 to highlight energy and water efficiency and sustainable practices. Roughly 20 displays from local businesses, utilities, organizations and USGS offices featured information on renewable energy, energy efficiency, alternative fuel vehicles, sustainable commuting, recycling, and more. The USGS Energy and Water Program provides quarterly updates on energy and water consumption to facility managers, and distributes a newsletter "Efficiency News You Can Use" that highlights successful USGS case studies, projects, awards and personnel. The Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC), Columbia, Missouri, continues to use an energy kiosk in the new building that shows employees trends of electric, gas, and water use. USGS facilities personnel attended in-house training provided by Siemens under USGS’s multi-site ESPC on new equipment installed as part of the ECMs implemented at CERC, the National Center, and Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC), Seattle, Washington. Education, Training, and Promotion of ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient and Low Standby Power Products for Federal Purchase Card Users: The DOI Charge Card Refresher Course encourages cardholders to visit www.gsa.gov/greenproductscompilation for a green products list. Green products include EPA-designated recycled content products, ENERGY STAR® qualified products, FEMP-designated energy-efficient products, WaterSense® water-efficient products, alternative fuel vehicles, biobased products, environmentally preferable products, and products with no or low toxic and hazardous material content. BLM evaluates the purchase of ENERGY STAR® products and other environmentally preferred products (e.g., USDA BioPreferred and EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guideline products) during its SI CASHE audits. Training on green purchasing mandates is also provided by the CASHE Program when requested by the field. In FY 2016, BOR will implement a sustainability training series that will include green procurement. FWS continued to promote all greening products and services, including ENERGY STAR® products, through established policies. Specifically, FWS has updated “A Practical Greening Manual for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service” with up-to-date links and purchasing processes. Also, each region has designated a Green Procurement lead in each of the Regional Contracting Offices. In FY 2015, NPS conducted four Environmental Purchasing webinars covering requirements to purchase ENERGY STAR® and FEMP-designated products, along with other mandated product categories (e.g., bio-preferred, recycled, water efficient, and EPEAT). The NPS Regional Environmental Coordinators also sponsored a series of one-hour webinars that examine different facets of green purchasing, including energy-efficient products. The Southeast Region continued to add products to its Green Purchasing Tool,

-8-
which provides parks with an easy-to-use tool to identify products that meet green requirements, including energy efficiency, whose performances have been tested by other park users. Finally, NPS published “Environmental Purchasing in the NPS” newsletters, devoted exclusively to environmental purchasing activities throughout the bureau. All OFAS purchase card holders are required to document and report that all related purchases were researched for ENERGY STAR® compliance.
4. Use of Energy and Water Efficiency measures in Facilities Covered under EISA Section 432 Section 432 of EISA requires that agencies complete comprehensive energy and water evaluations on its covered facilities that make up 75 percent of its facility energy use. Agencies should evaluate approximately 25 percent of their covered facilities annually so that all facilities are evaluated once every four years. Agency progress towards meeting Section 432 requirements aremeasured in DOE FEMP’s Compliance Tracking System (CTS). Through FY 2015, Interior bureaus evaluated 92.8 percent of its total EISA covered facilities. Through the completion of annual energy and water evaluations, Interior bureaus have identified $130,607,429 in estimated implementation cost of potential ECMs. This cost represents both ECMs that have been implemented as well as ECMs that have not been implemented. Interior bureaus continue to enter implemented project data into CTS. To date, the total project implementation costs are $92,351,731. These projects were implemented through the use of appropriated funding – construction, building rehabilitation, and operations and maintenance funding, as well as American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding, ESPCs, and UESCs. Entering implemented project data into CTS and uploading buildings benchmarked in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® will be an ongoing process throughout FY 2016. The BLM SI CASHE team exists to inspect all EISA plus other facilities and ensure all federal guidelines are followed. The team is inspecting about 25 percent of BLM’s largest buildings per year. BOR is participating in an EISA audit demonstration project with NREL to test three different methods for conducting EISA audits. The methods will include the traditional two-person on-site audit currently conducted by BOR’s Technical Services Center, desk-top audits using common desk-top energy auditing software (to be determined), and on-site building energy mapping using SIMUWatt or a similar tool. The methods will be compared for accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and applicability to BOR’s smaller assets. Results and analysis will be presented in a white paper. For USGS, in FY 2015, ECMs identified at EISA covered facilities were implemented primarily through the multi-site ESPC and a few via direct agency funding.

SECTION 2 – Energy Efficiency Performance Summary
A. Energy Intensity Reduction Performance Summary 1. Goal Subject Buildings
EISA established the FY 2015 energy intensity reduction goal of 30 percent relative to the FY 2003 baseline for goal subject buildings. In FY 2015, Interior's goal subject building energy consumption was 53,819 Btu per gross square foot. This represents a total reduction in energy consumption per gross square foot of 33.3 percent relative to the revised FY 2003 baseline. In accordance with “Guidelines Establishing Criteria for Excluding Buildings from the Energy Performance Requirements of Section 543 of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005,” Interior has categorized energy usage primarily from pumps, aerators, fish feeders, hatchery production, exterior lighting and security at FWS facilities; monitoring stations and laboratory bio-waste incinerators at USGS facilities; energy usage from exterior lighting, communication systems, and wastewater treatment systems at NPS sites; and electricity use at BLM’s Helium Plant and BOR’s Desalination Plant and Brine Injection Plant as “assumed exclusion of structures and processes that do not qualify as Federal buildings.” These energy processes do not have an associated building gross square footage and will significantly skew building energy usage. In addition, these processes are driven by mission and operational requirements. DOI bureaus utilize FBMS for capturing energy costs and consumption. FY 2015 was the second year that the energy module within FBMS was operational. Bureaus are required to map meter networks with associated buildings/structures and utility accounts. This time-consuming process revealed sites that were not previously reporting energy and potable water consumption. Bureaus will conduct a review of their consumption data throughout FY 2016 to ensure data quality. As the system—and bureau use of the system—matures, DOI’s record of energy cost and consumption is expected to become more robust. FBMS affords DOI more transparency into energy and water consumption in the field and will enable the bureaus to make strategic decisions to better manage and conserve these resources in the future.
2. Non-Fleet Vehicle and Equipment Fuel Use
In FY 2015, Interior used 2.1 million gallons of gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, off-road diesel, and propane for use in vessels, heavy equipment, standby generators, all-terrain vehicles, blowers, mowers, outboard motors, and other small equipment not reported on-line via GSA’s Federal Automotive Statistical Tool. A total of 99,200 gallons of aviation gasoline and jet fuel were used.
B. Renewable Energy 1. On-Site generated renewable energy
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative
-10-
Interior is dedicated to fulfilling the renewable electricity goals of the EPAct 2005 and EO 13693 by purchasing and generating electricity from renewable sources. In FY 2015, Interior used 79,874.3 MWh of renewable electricity from self-generation with on-site bonus and through renewable electricity purchases and credits. This represents 12.3 percent of Interior’s total facility electricity use and exceeds the EPAct 2005 goal of 7.5 percent of facility electricity use. Of the 12.3 percent, 9.9 percent represents on-site renewable energy generation including bonus; 0.4 percent represents renewable electricity purchased through the utility company; and 2 percent represents the purchase of renewable energy certificates. The use of on-site renewable energy sources is encouraged if the development of the resource is economically, environmentally, and technically feasible. Interior has implemented more than 1,6001 on-site renewable energy projects including stand-alone and grid-connected PV systems, solar thermal (hot water) projects, geothermal (ground source) heat pumps, incremental hydropower, and wind projects. The following new renewable energy projects were implemented or studied in FY 2015: BLM installed an 11.2 kW k PV array at the King Range National Conservation Area in California during the summer of 2015. Additionally, the BLM’s Malta Field Office (Montana) renovation design (planned for FY 2017 construction) includes a 5 kW PV array as a bid additive to the project. In FY 2015, BOR continued to increase the efficiency of renewable hydropower generation by initiating turbine rewinds at Yellowtail (Montana), Folsom (California), Spring Creek (California), and Glen Canyon (Arizona) power facilities and completing a rewind at San Luis (California). BOR also installed solar panels at the Hoover Spillway House, Nevada, which are estimated to produce 24,000 kWh for the building and offset the energy requirement from Hoover Dam's station service generator. Lastly, BOR replaced and upgraded solar inverters at the Lake Berryessa campus and Willows Construction Office, California, and installed solar light emitting diode (LED) lights at the Date Street Complex, Nevada. In FY 2015, FWS installed a 24 kW solar PV power system at the Office/Visitor Center at Dale Bumpers White River NWR, Arkansas, and a 10.75 kW PV system at the Laboratory Building at the Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources and Recovery Center, New Mexico. FWS installed two solar PV systems at Chincoteague NWR, Virginia, including a new 15.4 kW parking canopy and 3.85 kW of additional modules to an existing 15 kW system on the Herbert H. Bateman Education Center building roof. FWS is also installing a new electric vehicle charging station at Ottawa River NWR, Ohio, which is freely available to the public. Power for the station comes from the 81 kW solar PV array for the building. In FY 2015, NPS initiated the installation of a 15.3 kW PV system at Haleakala National Park, Hawaii. As part of Phase 1 of the National Capitol Region ESPC, five solar installations totaling 390 kW were initiated at Manassas National Battlefield Park, Virginia, Monocacy National Battlefield Park, Maryland, and National Mall and Memorial Parks, Washington, DC. NPS worked with NREL to complete a Renewable Energy Optimization (REopt) analysis for all parks, which provided a high-level screening of
1 One project may include multiple renewable energy components at single site, i.e., photovoltaic parking lot lights.
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative
-11-
renewable energy potential for five renewable technologies: rooftop PV, small wind turbines (<100 kW), biomass (thermal only), solar hot water, and solar ventilation preheat. OFAS is in the midst of an Investment Grade Audit for the South Interior Building (SIB), Washington, DC, with a planned PV system that would power the exterior lights. It is slated for contract in January 2016. As part of the multi-site ESPC, USGS installed a PV system at the National Center. The 125.33 kW array generated 96,500 kWh and saved roughly $7,350 in FY 2015. CERC, meanwhile, installed two solar lights over vehicle gate keypads to light up the keypad when dark.
2. Purchased renewable energy
Interior continues to purchase energy from renewable sources. In FY 2015, Interior bureaus purchased a total of 15,128 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable energy from utility providers and through renewable energy certificates. BIA purchased 6,000 MWh of renewable energy certificates (REC) generated from incremental hydropower in Badin, North Carolina. BLM and USGS purchased 6,250 MWh of RECs generated from wood and wood residuals in Moundville, Alabama. In FY 2015, 9.1 percent of all electricity consumed at the Interior Complex, in Washington, DC, was from renewable sources. OFAS purchased approximately 1,490 MWh of wind power generated in Pennsylvania through a GSA Blanket Purchase Agreement. NPS units purchased 1,388 MWh of renewable electricity and RECs from their utility providers. These parks include Big Hole National Battlefield, Montana; Point Reyes National Seashore, California; Golden Gate National Recreation Area, California; and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina/Tennessee. Zion National Park, Utah; Arches National Park, Utah; and Canyonlands National Park, Utah, purchased RECs through their utility providers’ Blue Sky Renewable Energy program.
3. Water Conservation
EO 13514 established the FY 2015 water intensity reduction goal of 16 percent relative to the FY 2007 baseline. In FY 2015, Interior reported potable water consumption of 3,747.2 million gallons at a cost of $ 6.4 million. This established Interior’s FY 2015 water intensity at 56.9 gallons per gross square foot, which represents a 9.2 percent reduction relative to the FY 2007 baseline. As with energy, FBMS is the official system of record for the cost and consumption of water. Again, as the system becomes more robust, bureau reporting of water cost and consumption becomes more accurate. In FY 2015, this resulted in an apparent 15 percent increase in reported potable water consumption from the previous fiscal year. DOI attributes this increase to better data collection and significant water system leaks at a large facility. DOI remains committed to meeting the potable water intensity goal contained within EO 13693. Interior remains committed to the efficient use of non-potable water resources and will
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative
-12-
continue to make improvements in delivery and use of water wherever feasible. Best management practices will be identified and reported in DOI’s Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan. Most of Interior’s non-potable water use is for mission related functions. These water uses include: care and feeding of animals and wildlife, including endangered species; establishment and propagation of wildlife habitats; agricultural uses associated with BLM’s farm program; power generation; the distribution of water as a result of water rights, contracts, or Tribal agreements; and wildland firefighting. In FY 2016, system improvements to FBMS will assist the bureaus in collecting industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water uses not previously captured in the FY 2007 potable water intensity baseline. BLM performed 3 weeks of SI CASHE audits at 21 facilities located in Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. During each of these audits, public use faucets were retrofitted where necessary with 0.5 gallon per minute aerators. The Salem District Office in Oregon replaced 23 toilets, 9 urinals, and 18 faucets with WaterSense® rated fixtures. The Roseburg District Office, Oregon, upgraded the irrigation system with a rain sensor for the irrigation controller and new high efficiency rotary irrigation heads. The Yaquina Head Interpretive Center, Oregon, replaced a water-cooled chiller and cooling tower with an air-cooled chiller to eliminate the use of water for cooling. BOR completed numerous water efficiency projects in the drought-stricken West. The Mid-Pacific Construction Office, California, replaced an irrigated bluegrass lawn with xeriscaping; while the Klamath Basin Area Office in California expanded and improved its building inspection to detect for leaks and discovered and fixed numerous leaks in FY 2015. The Snake River Area Office, Idaho, replaced 117 traditional sprinkler heads with water saving rotary sprinklers that the manufacturer estimates will provide 20 percent water savings compared with standard sprinklers. Finally, the Columbia Cascades Area Office in Washington installed aerators on faucets to reduce water use by an estimated 20 percent and has also installed new WaterSense® water fountains. FWS installs water-efficient technologies to reduce potable water use (e.g., WaterSense®, low-flow water fixtures, and aeration devices) for all building construction and rehabilitation projects; and designs, installs, and maintains landscaping to reduce water use, such as using xeriscaping, grass-crete, planting native grasses and forbs, drip irrigation systems, on-site composting of grass clippings and leaves in flower beds and around trees and bushes for added water retention, and closed-loop water capture, recharge, and reclamation. In FY 2015, FWS continued construction of the Office and Visitor Center at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge (IWR), Michigan, which is located in a former brownfield site and features green infrastructure elements such as rainwater harvesting, tree canopy, bio-swales, pocket wetlands, and rain gardens. FWS also made efforts to conserve water in California. For example, Kern NWR decreased its use of water for habitat management by 100 percent by not flooding any of its seasonal wetlands in FY 2015, and Lower Klamath NWR and Merced NWR installed efficient water fixtures. NPS now has 323 meters to measure and monitor potable water consumption and industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water use. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, Texas, decreased the water consumption of its 18th century Grist Mill by 83 percent by installing a timer to control the amount of water sent to the mill’s drive shaft and water wheel. Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, North Carolina, installed a roof water runoff collection system, and used the collected water to support a tree and shrub nursery that will maintain the cultural landscape in the park.

The OFAS ESPC at the Interior Complex, Washington, DC, will reduce water consumption at the Main Interior Building (MIB) 77 percent. Outdoor water used for irrigation at the MIB will be captured and re-used for the entire fresh water make-up for the chiller system. The SIB is slated to have its irrigation supplemented with captured rainwater. Leak detection is utilized at the MIB and SIB using tours by the operations and maintenance staff multiple times throughout a 24-hour period. OFAS is working on water reduction information to be shown along with real-time data on an energy kiosk to be located in the cafeteria area. USGS undertook the following projects in FY 2015 to improve water efficiency: CERC monitored well water flow rates and trended the data on the building automation system. A well tower with a storage tank will be installed that will change the duration and frequency of water pumping, which may also have energy saving impacts. The Leetown Science Center, West Virginia, installed automated sensor faucets and low-flow toilets in the maintenance building as well as a water meter. USGS facilities on well water are studying methods to reduce well water use through more sophisticated pumping systems and consumption reduction.
4. Facility Metering
EPAct 2005 required that all appropriate buildings be metered for electricity by the end of FY 2012. Interior completed the installation of electric meters in all previously identified appropriate buildings. In October 2015, DOI bureaus submitted updated metering plans based on the November 2014 FEMP Metering Guidance. DOI, in turn, submitted a consolidated plan in December 2015. The BLM ESPC (completed in FY 2014) installed advanced meters, but two-way communication remains a challenge due to IT requirements. In FY 2015, BLM connected 15 facilities with Johnson Controls Metasys energy management systems to the BLM network allowing remote access for monitoring performance and troubleshooting. BOR’s South-Central California Area Office, Fresno, and Tracy Administration Building, in Tracy, California installed water meters to better measure water use. An electricity meter was installed at the Grand Coulee Materials Storage Building, Washington, measuring consumption of Reclamation hydropower from the third power plant. Most of FWS’s 14 new high performance, sustainable headquarters and visitor center buildings built with ARRA funding have energy management control systems. All new buildings and major renovations are individually metered for all utility services (electricity, natural gas, and potable water), in accordance with Implementing Instructions for EO 13423. NPS created a comprehensive inventory of all NPS- and utility-owned meters as well as the networks and buildings associated with the meters. Mesa Verde National Park Visitor Center, Colorado, utilizes advanced metering, direct digital controls with web interface and energy simulation modeling to implement ECMs that to date have resulted in a 50 percent reduction in electricity costs.

OFAS is installing sub-meters under the ongoing ESPC project at the Interior Complex. The MIB and SIB currently utilize advanced meters for all utilities. USGS continues to install advanced meters throughout facilities to improve energy and water operations. For example, CERC is working to include natural gas meters in FY 2016, and the Northern Appalachian Research Laboratory (NARL), Pennsylvania, will install roughly 45 submeters in FY 2016 to split building and research costs. The Earth Resources Observation Systems Data Center (EROS), South Dakota, plans to install a meter in FY 2016 on a side loop of the chilled water system that supplies the data center. This will allow staff to install a water flow meter on each computer room air conditioning unit in the data center. In addition, each row of component racks in the data center has a power distribution unit that submeters electricity usage for the row in the three computer rooms.
5. Federal Building Energy Efficiency Standards
Section 109 of EPAct 2005 requires that, if life-cycle cost-effective, all new Federal buildings must be designed to achieve energy consumption levels 30 percent below those of the current version of the applicable ASHRAE standard or the International Energy Conservation Code. Since the beginning of FY 2007, all 338 new building designs have been designed to be 30 percent more energy efficient than the relevant code or has been designed to the highest level of energy efficiency that is life-cycle cost effective.

SECTION 3 – Implementation Highlights during FY 2015
A. HIGHLIGHTS OF FY 2015 1. Where applicable, Agencies should provide a summary highlights of the following
strategies their energy management programs employed during FY 2015: a) Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Interior utilizes life-cycle cost analysis in making decisions about investments in products, services, construction, and other projects to lower costs and to reduce energy and water consumption. Interior actively manages a portfolio of construction capital investments in order to maximize the return on investment to the taxpayer and Government at an acceptable level of risk. Effective capital planning within Interior requires improved long range planning and a disciplined budget process as the basis for managing a portfolio of assets to achieve performance goals and objectives with minimal risks, lowest life-cycle costs, and greatest overall benefits to the business of the bureaus and the Department. Interior has developed and continues to refine its approach to establishing a more consistent, structured, performance-based, integrated approach to its Construction Capital Planning Investment Control process. As Interior’s portfolio-based approach matures, the Department and the bureaus will continue to improve their ability to manage risks and returns of capital assets throughout their life cycles necessary to ensure that Interior’s investments are well conceived, cost-effective, and support strategic mission and business goals. The analysis of these investments is a living tool that will be continually revisited, refined and updated. It is articulated in a business case, the extent of which is commensurate with the cost and impact of the investment on the organization and mission. NPS’s Flex Park Fund, a major source of funding for energy and sustainability projects, reviews and ranks projects based on return on investment, simple payback and other metrics, such as energy saved and GHG emissions avoided to help ensure projects are evaluated using life-cycle principles.
b) Retrofits and Capital Improvement Projects
In FY 2015, Interior obligated $19.7 million in facility energy and water efficiency improvements through direct obligations, $39.3 million through ESPCs, and $1.5 million through UESCs, which represents a total investment of 69.5 percent relative to total facility energy costs. The following entries provide examples of the work being completed in DOI facilities. BLM replaced a chiller and re-programmed lighting control panels at Casper Historic Trails Center, Wyoming. BLM also installed new high efficiency boilers, a 30 ton air-cooled chiller, and HVAC controls (night setback) at the Yaquina Head Interpretive Center. Finally, BLM received $102,000 in tax credits through its ESPC from the State of Oregon. An account was set up to receive the funding and will be used on new energy efficiency projects within BLM.
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative

BOR implemented over 35 lighting improvement projects. For example, the Yellowtail Power Plant, Montana, replaced high-bay lamps with 80 watt LED lamps, which resulted in an 80 percent reduction in energy use, and the Provo Area Office, Utah, replaced all 1,000 light bulbs within the office with LEDs and implemented an automated lighting control system that utilizes occupancy and light sensors to control lighting of occupied spaces (creating a 45 percent energy reduction). New building automation systems were installed at the New Melones Administration Building, California, Provo Area Office, and Ephrata Field Office, Washington. The Chama Field Office, New Mexico, is implementing a comprehensive building sealing effort, including window and door replacement and weather stripping, which is expected to achieve a 40 percent energy savings. In its push for carbon neutrality in FY 2020, FWS is making a concerted effort to reduce on-site fossil fuel consumption by installing more efficient boilers, generators, furnaces, etc., and/or using renewable fuels. In FY 2015, FWS constructed an energy-efficient bunkhouse at Bitter Lake NWR, New Mexico, with a super-insulated building envelope, efficient windows, HVAC system, and low-flow water fixtures and toilets; installed an ENERGY STAR®16 SEER HVAC system at the Headquarters building, Bald Knob NWR, Arkansas; installed energy-efficient windows at Tishomingo NWR, Oklahoma; and replaced windows, lighting, and plumbing in the Environmental Education Center at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay NWR, California. NPS’s Flight 93 Visitor and Learning Center, Pennsylvania, installed a 40 ton geothermal ground source heat pump system. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, installed energy-efficient furnaces, windows, and doors. Independence National Historical Park, Pennsylvania, retrofitted its central chilled water plant, reducing plant energy use by 50 percent. Pinnacles National Park, California, installed on-demand water heaters in two residences. Gateway National Recreation Area, New York/New Jersey, replaced condensing units and boilers damaged by Hurricane Sandy with high efficiency models. The MIB, operated by OFAS, is installing a combined heat and power plant as part of an ESPC that will utilize natural gas to provide all the electricity consumed, making it a net-zero electricity building. The heat generated by the micro turbines will be used by an absorption chiller that will help cool the building. It is a 1 megawatt system, which allows for excess electricity to be put back onto the grid. Domestic hot water will be via natural gas boilers in lieu of GSA-provided steam. The MIB’s electricity consumption is expected for a 62 percent reduction under the ESPC project. USGS completed numerous retrofits and capital improvements in FY 2015. The EROS facility completed an HVAC project to replace air handling units with more efficient models employing fan walls, energy recovery wheels, and motor variable frequency drives (VFDs). Additionally, the facility is measuring light levels and removing lighting in over-lit areas. NARL completed a lighting retrofit project and installed two high-efficiency boilers. The Conte Research Center, Massachusetts, upgraded boilers, exhaust fans, and the building automation system. It is estimated the new boiler could save up to 40 percent on heating costs. The National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC), Louisiana, replaced chillers and cooling towers; installed VFDs, variable air volume boxes, and water meters; and upgraded ten fume hoods. Lastly, a comprehensive set of ECMs were completed under the USGS multi-site ESPC the National Center, CERC, and WFRC.

c) Use of Performance Contracts i) Use of Energy-Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs)
On September 23, 2014, the NPS National Capital Region (NCR) awarded Phase 1 of its ESPC project. The region-wide project includes 13 park units. The project implementation cost is $28 million and has an estimated annual savings of $1 million per year from energy and water efficiencies. Phase 1 construction is currently underway. The NCR has developed phase 2 of the project and is anticipating awarding in early FY 2016. NPS continues to partner with FEMP to pursue ENABLE pilot projects at a variety of NPS facilities service-wide. Using analysis completed through the Strategic Partnership, FWS is continuing to work with FEMP to identify candidate projects to move forward with ESPC ENABLE. OFAS awarded two phases of an ESPC for the MIB. Phase 1 was awarded on March 20, 2015 with an implementation price of $26.1 million; phase 2 was awarded July 28, 2015 with an implementation price of $13.2 million. A follow-on phase at SIB is expected to be awarded in second quarter FY 2016. In FY 2015, USGS implemented ECMs that were part of a $12 million, multi-site task order under the DOE ESPC to Siemens. The 21-year term contract has an estimated annual energy savings of $650,000 or 15 percent of USGS total annual energy use. Water savings are estimated at $18,000 per year, a 5 percent decrease in potable water use. The task order covers projects for the National Center, the CERC, and the WFRC. Facility managers at the three sites have reported favorable results to date, and preliminary energy data is showing savings.
ii) Use of Utility Energy Services Contracts (UESCs)
In FY 2015, FWS’s Patuxent Research Refuge, Maryland, awarded a UESC to replace the existing roof with a new, cool roof and install a 166.4 kW roof-top solar PV array (as well as a 58.5 kW PV array over a portion of the parking area). The UESC contract includes design and construction. The project is expected to be completed in December 2015.
iii) Use of Other Types of Contracts
BOR’s Upper Snake Field Office, Idaho, is working with Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) on lighting upgrades at the Minidoka and Palisades Dams and shops. BPA will assist in funding lighting upgrades to achieve an approximate 10 percent savings in energy use, which makes available renewable hydropower public marketing.
f) Use of ENERGY STAR® and Other Energy-Efficient Products
Interior selects, when commercially available, ENERGY STAR®, FEMP-designated, and other energy-efficient products when acquiring energy-consuming products. Energy-efficient technologies include high-efficiency lighting and ballasts, exit signs, energy-efficient motors, and the use of packaged heating and cooling equipment with energy efficiency ratios that meet or exceed Federal criteria for retrofitting existing buildings.
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative
-18-
The updated BIA Design Handbook for School Facilities specifies that ENERGY STAR® targets and the use of ENERGY STAR® and FEMP-designated energy-efficient products are required when feasible. As part of BLM’s SI CASHE program, office equipment and products are inspected for and deficiencies are noted if a product is found not to be ENERGY STAR®. The purchase of ENERGY STAR® products is required by the BLM in building retrofits and daily purchases. BOR installed ENERGY STAR® certified electric water heaters at the Navajo Dam shop, New Mexico, and the Nebraska-Kansas Area Office, Nebraska, and ENERGY STAR® refrigerators at the Columbia Cascades Area Office, Washington.
In FY 2015, FWS is installing new ENERGY STAR® appliances such as a refrigerator, clothes washer/dryer, oven, and dishwasher at Kodiak NWR, Alaska. The new bunkhouse at Bitter Lake NWR, New Mexico, also includes ENERGY STAR® appliances. NPS’s Crater Lake National Park installed several new Energy Star refrigerators and microwaves in park buildings and housing units. Haleakala National Park, Hawaii, installed ENERGY STAR® refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers, as well as LED light bulbs. All OFAS micro card holders are required to purchase products and services that meet environmental conditions such as minimum post-consumer fiber content, ENERGY STAR®, WaterSense®, low VOC, bio-based, and local purchase. USGS personnel attempt to procure only products with the ENERGY STAR® label. For example, old refrigeration and ice making units throughout USGS have been replaced with ENERGY STAR® models and all information technology (IT) equipment purchased for USGS is ENERGY STAR® or energy efficient.
g) Sustainable Building Design and High-Performance Buildings
Interior is striving to be a government leader by implementing sustainability policies that meet or exceed EO 13693 requirements and integrate the Guiding Principles into the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of Interior-owned and leased buildings. Sustainable building design principles have been incorporated into the siting, design, and construction of Interior projects. Energy managers work closely with their engineers, architects, and design offices to address energy conservation retrofits and new building designs, and ensure that buildings comply with Federal energy laws and regulations. All cost effective, energy conservation opportunities are analyzed for consistency with resource management objectives. Energy efficiency standards are included as an integral part of all engineering design and construction project technical specifications. BLM is replacing the Cottonwood Field Office in Idaho with a building that meets the Guiding Principles (the design started in FY 2014). The Malta Field Office in Montana is being retrofitted with a complete water- and energy-efficiency upgrade in FY 2015/16. Additionally, in FY 2015, the BLM awarded a new Energy Management Information System contract to Ameresco, Inc., for optical scanning of all utility bills into a database to facilitate reporting and querying energy calculation of Energy Use Intensity Index. The contract includes automated monthly generation of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® scores for 200 BLM owned facilities.

BOR had a total of 7 buildings reach 100 percent compliance with the Guiding Principles in FY 2015. Three buildings underwent major renovations, but the remaining existing buildings achieved compliance through implementation of improved operations, more energy-efficient systems, and other conservation measures. Moreover, achievement of the Guiding Principles resulted in significant energy and water savings, including a 43 percent reduction in potable water and 45 percent reduction in natural gas and electricity consumption at the Provo Area Office, and a 21 percent reduction in potable water and 25 percent reduction in natural gas and electricity consumption at the Glen Canyon Visitor Center, Arizona. Meanwhile, the Four Corners Construction Office, New Mexico, replaced parking lot lights with solar-powered LEDs and reduced light pollution onto neighboring properties, and the Lower Colorado Region installed over 60 tons of landscaping rock on arid terrain at the Date Street Campus, Nevada, to better control stormwater runoff and reduce soil erosion. Numerous buildings within BOR developed and implemented Building Management Plans, as required by the Guiding Principles, and more than 20 buildings were commissioned during FY 14-15. FWS’s recently completed LEED Platinum, Net Zero energyCorn Creek Administrative Headquarters and Visitor Center, Desert NWR, Nevada, received an FY 2015 Federal Energy and Water Management Award. The sustainable project includes DC solar PV power, which is comprised of a 91.5 kW solar PV power system for the new Headquarters and Visitor Center building and 76 kW solar PV power for water pumping at the maintenance building. FWS replaced the Visitor Center and Administrative Headquarters at Mingo NWR, Missouri, with a new sustainable building that features a 14.57 kW solar PV power system and a 30 ton ground source heat pump. FWS also completed the Administrative Office and Visitor Center, Ash Meadows NWR, Nevada, which connects to an existing 75 kW PV system mounted on a nearby shade cover structure and is expected to achieve a LEED Silver rating. Finally, the National Conservation Training Center, West Virginia, has undergone a LEED for Existing Buildings review. As of January 2015, the NPS building portfolio included 71 buildings that were compliant with the Guiding Principles. Of these, 51 are greater than 5,000 square feet. The Flight 93 Visitor and Learning Center, which opened in FY 2015, has a calculated energy use savings of 47 percent over ASHRAE 90.1. The White House Visitor Center, Washington, DC, achieved a lighting power reduction of almost 65 percent over ASHRAE 90.1 through the use of efficient lighting design and control strategies. At Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee/North Carolina, construction of a curatorial facility is underway. It is planned to be equivalent to LEED silver. The NPS Denver Service Center (DSC) is developing a Project Sustainability Tracking Tool for FY 2016. This tool will provide guidance for each DSC project team on how to implement strategies to achieve compliance with EO 13693 as well as other Federal sustainability requirements. The tool will also catalog compliance with the requirements for more accurate reporting. USGS is working on bringing the EROS Data Center and the Leetown Science Center into compliance with the Guiding Principles. Interior has more than 80 buildings listed in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Certified Project Directory:

h) Energy Efficiency/Sustainable Design in Lease Provisions
All new building lease solicitations include a preference for buildings that meet the goals of the Guiding Principles, where applicable, in the selection criteria for acquiring leased buildings. Build-to-suit lease solicitations incorporate criteria for sustainable design and development, energy efficiency, and verification of building performance in accordance with the Guiding Principles. It is BLM’s policy to procure LEED-designated buildings for lease where possible; however, due to BLM’s locations, many areas do not have leasable LEED facilities. BLM will procure design builds using the LEED Silver standard when applicable for new leased space. In September 2015, BLM–leasing sent letters to lessors, requesting courtesy copies of utility invoices for BLM leases where the rent includes utilities and BLM does not pay utilities directly. Renovations to BOR’s Pacific Northwest Regional Office (PNRO), Idaho, were completed on September 30, 2015. The PNRO worked with GSA to integrate green lease provisions into the renewed building lease. Specifically, BOR was instrumental in ensuring that the lease required the landlord to renovate the building and achieve an ENERGY STAR® score of 75 or greater, install LED lighting, update the HVAC system, recycle all demolition materials, and utilize construction materials containing 95 percent or more post-consumer product. Additionally, BOR’s Albuquerque Area Office, New Mexico, worked in partnership with its GSA landlord to install occupancy sensors in restrooms, three conference rooms, and the employee kitchen in order to contribute to energy reductions as the lessee.
U. S. Department of the Interior FY 2015 Energy Management Narrative

FWS has worked continuously with GSA and the building owner to implement ECMs at the Northeast Regional Office in Hadley, Massachusetts. Over a ten year period, the metered energy use has declined 50 percent from 2005 and the building was certified LEED Gold in FY 2014. Also in FY 2014, FWS relocated its Headquarters to a leased Falls Church, Virginia, high performance building that attained LEED Gold certification in FY 2015. The NPS City Arch River Museum of Westward Expansion, Missouri, is leasing a space that will become the Museum Store and will meet LEED Gold certification. NPS includes sustainability initiatives in concession contracts. Through this process, parks can identify the most relevant and highest priority sustainability goals for concessioners to integrate into operations. Additionally, the process allows innovative programs and products to be offered by concessioners on how to address unique environmental management issues at parks.
i) Distributed Generation, including use on on-site renewable energy resources and combined cooling, heating, and power systems
Interior continues to pursue projects that self-generate energy using renewable sources (such as photovoltaics or wind turbines) or renewable energy thermal projects (such as solar thermal, biomass, or geothermal) where life-cycle cost effective. FWS constructed an off-grid roof mounted 1.02 kW PV system at the Environmental Education Pavilion and PV System, Camas NWR, Idaho. Neal Smith NWR, Iowa, installed solar PV-powered LED parking lot lights, which are rated a total of 5.32 kW power that is stored in a pole-mounted 6 volt battery for night-time use. These “dark sky” exterior lighting fixtures direct light downward ensure visual access to the night sky and prevent disruption of nocturnal animal habitat. The Nature Conservancy completed a $1.2 million renewable energy project, installing solar and wind systems that are expected to cut fossil fuel use on 680-acre Palmyra Atoll NWR by at least 95 percent, eliminating an annual 21,000-gallon shipment of bio-diesel fuel made from recycled vegetable oil previously used to run the Atoll’s generators. The project included installation of 385 solar panels backed up by deep-cycle batteries, a solar hot water system, and a custom 5 kW prototype INVELOX wind turbine by SheerWind -- all of it creating a custom 100kW solar micro-grid. Many of the Department’s on-site renewable energy systems may be considered distributed generation. See the discussion of on-site renewable energy earlier in this report for more details.
