About the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)
The federal government is the nation's largest energy consumer. Mandated by law, the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) works with its stakeholders to enable federal agencies to meet energy-related goals, identify affordable solutions, facilitate public-private partnerships, and provide energy leadership to the country by identifying government best practices.

Federal Energy Management Program’s Technical Resilience Navigator: Communications Plan
The Federal Energy Management Program is working to develop a standard, agency-neutral energy and water technical resilience navigator (TRN) to assist federal agencies with their resilience planning efforts, building on agency-expressed needs. The TRN Communications Plan defines how the project team and FEMP will generate awareness of the TRN, recruit validators, encourage its use across federal agencies, increase awareness among various audiences, and solicit user feedback on its usefulness including suggestions for improvement. In support of this purpose, the communications plan characterizes the key audiences, messages, communications channels, and activities needed to help ensure success. The role of communications is to define strategy and ensure leadership and consistency in messaging, writing, outreach, media relations, editing, and design related to the TRN.

US Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program Energy Treasure Hunt Toolkit
The US Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) aims to assist federal agencies and their stakeholders with their energy-focused goals, opportunities, and barriers. The program offers various technical trainings and resources to its stakeholders. One of these resources is an energy treasure hunt program. This report presents the FEMP energy treasure hunt toolkit, a technical resource designed for systematic application for federal facilities seeking to optimize their energy and carbon usage. The toolkit was designed to help facilitate energy-focused kaizen events, identify energy-saving recommendations, analyze identified opportunities, and provide the tools needed to detect actionable projects to advance federal facilities. Through a collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory team that executed the industrial-focused Better Plants energy treasure hunt program, a similar treasure hunt toolkit was designed for FEMP. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the treasure hunt process and FEMP toolkit capabilities.

Holistic Energy Management Yields Cost Savings and Resilience Benefits for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy
As the U.S. Coast Guard's third largest energy consumer, the 86-year-old Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, was ripe for an energy management overhaul. That overdue overhaul was made possible by the largest utility energy service contract (UESC) in U.S. Department of Homeland Security history. Awarded in September 2017, the $72.6 million contract provided for $39 million in capital improvements and is expected to cut total energy costs by 80% - more than $2 million - each year. On-site generation of 82% of the site's electricity needs will dramatically improve site-wide resilience, and savings generated from implementation of the project will pay for all project costs. The UESC project team developed and executed an energy management project to meet several priority objectives, including implementing essential infrastructure improvements, increasing reliability, and enhancing resilience - and engaged the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Utility Partnerships Program for project assistance.

Best Practices for Resilience in Smart Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) supports federal agencies' energy decisions with information and guidance on design, funding, and operations to ensure federal buildings are efficient and resilient. The modernization of building infrastructure and the evolution of buildings to support decarbonization involves complex implementation of multiple components across several systems. This includes energy-efficient equipment, on-site energy generation and storage systems, and control systems. These systems have operational modes that can operate more efficiently if they are able to behave responsively to the conditions of the electrical grid. These grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEB) allow facilities to manage power demand according to operational constraints and market signals issued by grid operators. With proper design and planning, these same capabilities have the potential to enable building and facility resilience - coordinating with microgrids, maintaining power on critical circuits to sustain essential operations, and monitoring building health and safety status during an outage. By managing the load of buildings, GEBs can also reduce the cost of backup generation and make better use of renewable power sources on site. This document outlines some of the processes and considerations to guide the design and operation of GEBs in ways that promote facility resilience.

Yellowstone National Park Federal Fleet Tiger Team EVSE Site Assessment [Slides]
The U.S. Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) helps federal agencies reduce petroleum consumption and increase alternative fuel use through its resources for sustainable federal fleets. A key element of this assistance involves supporting agencies in the transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Fleet electrification is part of a federal policy to achieve net-zero emissions economy-wide and a carbon pollution-free electricity sector, established through two executive orders (EOs) - EO 14008: Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad and EO 14057: Catalyzing America's Clean Energy Industries and Jobs through Federal Sustainability. This site report supports the development of a ZEV deployment plan for Yellowstone National Park, which can ultimately be incorporated into the overall U.S. Department of the Interior ZEV fleet strategy.
