3. Energy Conservation at EPA 3 EPA Facilities Overview  EPA has approximately 160 facilities, and 56 large facilities; we house approximately 26,000 people in 9 million square feet of offices and laboratories. National Office Perspective

4. Energy Conservation at EPA 4 EPA Facilities Overview

5. Energy Conservation at EPA 5 EPA Facilities Overview  Laboratories make up ~1/3 of EPA’s inventory but use 2/3 of our energy. » Labs have 100% outside air, while offices have recirculated air. » Labs use 3 to 6 times the energy of an office building. Energy Use in Laboratories vs. Office Buildings Energy UseSpace Use

6. Energy Conservation at EPA 6 EPA Facilities Overview  How EPA acquires its buildings affects how utilities are paid and how energy use concerns are addressed.  Types of EPA buildings: »EPA owned »EPA leased private buildings »GSA owned and assigned to EPA »GSA leased private buildings

7. Energy Conservation at EPA 7 EPA: How We Do It Goal: Make EPA facilities as energy efficient as possible, given real estate interest, budget, and institutional constraints. National Energy Program

12. Energy Conservation at EPA 12 EPA’s National Energy Program  No new dogs in the inventory »EPA works diligently on all new major space procurements to make them energy efficient.  It’s never too early to think about energy efficiency »Type: Build to suit labs or offices, leased spaces, new construction. »Stage: master planning, procurement strategy, A/E selection, design, design review, controls review, energy modeling, construction, and commissioning all affect success.

16. Energy Conservation at EPA 16 How EPA Manages Energy  Energy Auditing—Tiered Approach »Energy Light Audits—every three years »Stage Two Audits »Detailed System Audits

17. Energy Conservation at EPA 17 How EPA Manages Energy  Commissioning, Re-Commissioning, Retro-Commissioning »Most cost-effective energy investment »Fort Meade cost $75-100K; saved $150K annually in energy costs »Absolutely for new buildings »Re-commissioning prevents building performance creep »Retro-commissioning commissions buildings that were never commissioned (e.g. Chapel Hill and NHEERL North Carolina)

18. Energy Conservation at EPA 18 How EPA Manages Energy  Mechanical Engineering Design and Construction — Conventional »These are long term projects, typically 2 to 4 years  Energy Savings Performance Contracts »Ann Arbor, Michigan »Ada, Oklahoma

19. Energy Conservation at EPA 19 How EPA Manages Energy  Green Power Procurement »Short term solution for our EO goals. »Right thing to do. »Green Power does cost a little more, generally. »We are not sophisticated enough yet to actively use it to stabilize our energy bills. »Examples: Richmond, Golden, Chelmsford, Cincinnati, Manchester, Houston, RTP (at 40%), Edison, Kansas City Science & Technology Center, Narragansett, Fort Meade.
