The Federal Energy Management Program facilitates the Federal Government?s implementation of sound, cost-effective energy management and investment practices to enhance the nation?s energy security and environmental stewardship. FEMP does this by focusing on the needs of its Federal customers, delivering an array of products grouped into project transaction services, applied technology services,and decision support services. This document outlines FEMP services and programs.

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 FEMP and other federal agencies in applying these tools at over 50 federal sites containing over 60 central utility systems and more than 50,000 buildings and facilities. The overall approach employed by FEMP is fuel- and technology-neutral. This means that by applying the FEMP approach, the least-cost way to provide heat, cooling, and other energy services is identified without regard to whether or not the energy source is electricity, natural gas, or other fuel forms.
