FEMP Mission
The U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) works with key individuals to accomplish energy change within organizations by bringing
expertise from all levels of project and policy implementation to enable federal agencies to
meet energy‐related goals and provide energy leadership to the country.
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
FEMP Strategic Goals
Federal Goals for 2025 • 40% GHG reduction • 25% energy intensity
improvement• 30% renewable energy use• 36% water savings
• Meet GHG, energy, and water goals for 2025 • Reduce GHG emissions of Federal operations – through energy efficiency and
renewables• Provide energy and sustainability leadership to the Nation
• Set examples / models of what can be done and replicated• Lead efficiency and sustainability industries towards greater success• Establish clear process and procedures,
which can be broadly leveraged
From March 2015 EO 13963
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

Interagency Partnerships
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
FEMP‐Department of Transportation Partnership
• In effect 2013 ‐ 2014• FEMP assisted DOT in the following areas:
• Improved Fleet Management and Fuel Performance by Tracking fuel consumption, use of alternative fuel vehicles, Vehicle inventory reduction
• Sustainable, Energy‐Efficient Buildings By Energy evaluations, Establishing methodology for less resource intensive audit method, Audit training program for DOT employees, Technical assistance for commissioning, Renewable optimization screening, and Water efficiency
• Water Conservation by Improved data collection, Water audits, low‐cost and no‐cost water efficiency measures
• Co‐generation and/or renewable energy generation by identifying potential sites

FEMP‐Department of Transportation Partnership
An energy and water audit was performed through this partnership at the Ajo Air Route Surveillance Radar Tower.
Energy efficiency improvements through “desk audits.”• From a group of 262 unstaffed Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) radar facilities with standardized floor plans, the team visited 26 facilities and was able to develop detailed site evaluation summaries and extrapolate cost and energy savings across the remaining 236 radar facilities.
• “Desk audit” tool resulted in $1M in government savings, helped FAA increase facility audits nearly fourfold, and improved DOT’s White House Sustainability/Energy Scorecard ratings.

FEMP‐NASA Partnership
• Finalizing one‐year, 2 phase agreement on Strategic Energy Investment Plan:• Phase 1: Deep Dive with REopt for RE opportunities at 15 facilities• Phase 2: Review/comment on their Strategic Energy Investment Implementation
Plan Program will also help NASA with:
• Prioritizing RE prospects which reduce water use, GHG emissions, and electricity consumption
• Microgrid analysis, energy resiliency, and energy storage planning
• Bringing emerging technologies to NASA’s consideration
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
FEMP‐Department of Commerce Partnership
FEMP/Department of Commerce Partnership• September 2015 to September 2016• Addresses five areas of concern to DOC
• Metering Assessments• Facility Audits and Sustainability analysis,
including training of DOC staff and meeting audit deadlines at NOAA and PTO.
• Education and Awareness via weekly e‐mail blasts
• Renewable Energy potential and prioritization of prospects.
• Bringing emerging technologies to DOC’s consideration
• Going forward FEMP will continue to work with DOC to implement projects resulting from these efforts.
