DISTRIBUTION: INITIATED BY: All Departmental Elements Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy U.S. Department of Energy ORDER Washington, D.C. Approved: 4-15-02 Sunset Review: 4-15-04 Expiration: 4-15-06 SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL ENERGY AND UTILITIES MANAGEMENT 1. OBJECTIVES. a. To establish requirements and responsibilities for managing Department of Energy (DOE) energy and utility supplies and services. b. To meet or exceed the goals of all laws, Executive orders, and Federal regulations for energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, and water conservation at DOE buildings, laboratories, and production facilities while increasing the use of clean energy sources using a life cycle cost-effective approach. (See paragraph 6, References.) c. To accomplish on a Department-wide basis the following energy efficiency leadership goals that apply to energy and utilities management using a life cycle cost-effective approach: (1) Reduce energy consumption per gross square foot for buildings through life cycle cost-effective measures by 40 percent by 2005 and 45 percent by 2010, using a 1985 baseline. (2) Reduce energy consumption per gross square foot (or other unit as applicable) for laboratory and industrial facilities through life cycle cost-effective measures by 20 percent by 2005 and 30 percent by 2010, using a 1990 baseline. (3) Increase the purchase of electricity from nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources by including provisions for such purchases as a component in all future DOE competitive solicitations for electricity. DOE will purchase 3 percent of its total electricity needs from nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources by 2005 and 7.5 percent of its total electricity purchases from nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources by 2010. Nonhydroelectric renewable energy is energy generated from solar, geothermal, biomass, or wind technologies. (4) Increase the purchase of electricity from less greenhouse gas-intensive sources, including, but not limited to, new advanced-technology fossil energy systems and other highly efficient generating technologies. (5) Retrofit or replace all chillers greater than 150 tons of cooling capacity and manufactured before 1984 that use class I refrigerant by 2005. DOE O 430.2A CANCELE D 2 DOE O 430.2A 4-15-02 (6) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions attributed to facility energy use through life cycle cost-effective measures by 25 percent by 2005 and 30 percent by 2010, using 1990 as a baseline. Greenhouse gas emissions are carbon dioxide emissions calculated from reported energy consumption. 2. CANCELLATION. DOE O 430.2, In-House Energy Management, dated 6-13-96.

CANCELE D DOE O 430.2A Attachment 2 4-15-02 Page 1 ENERGY AND EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE REPORTING 1. PURPOSE. To describe the Department of Energy (DOE) data and information gathering systems to support reports required by statute or regulation. 2. BACKGROUND. DOE provides two energy reports to higher authorities. An Annual Report to Congress is required by the National Energy Conservation Policy Act and an Annual Report to the President is required by Executive order 13123, Greening of the Government through Efficient Energy Management. In addition to reporting progress toward different goals, the primary difference between these reports is that the Annual Report to the President requires agencies to provide information regarding specific implementation strategies. The reports overlap by containing some of the same energy cost and consumption data. To demonstrate progress toward meeting energy goals, DOE Headquarters annually collects textual and numerical information from its field elements. In addition to reporting to higher authorities, DOE also uses the information to budget for energy management activities and to establish priorities and performance metrics for its field elements in the pursuit of energy and utilities management goals. The textual information describes activities or projects at the field sites. The numerical data includes energy cost, energy consumption, and square footage. The energy cost and consumption information is taken from actual bills. For management purposes, DOE rearranges the numerical data obtained from its field elements and calculates standard Federal performance indexes such as British thermal units per gross square foot. 3. ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND COST REPORTING. DOE’s historical database and data collection system for energy consumption and cost reporting is the Energy Management System (EMS). It is a Web-based data collection and reporting system. The EMS requires the input of quarterly energy usage by fuel type, cost by fuel type, and gross square footage by energy reporting category. Sites are not required to submit the data on paper.

Section 11

Sites are responsible for ensuring that the data are current and accurate. The site must complete the data entry for all four quarters by November 15 for the previous fiscal year. Sites are encouraged to enter the data at the end of each quarter rather than waiting to the end of the fiscal year. Access to the data input/data edit functions of EMS is denied starting in January for the previous fiscal year. However, bona fide changes to baseline data and data for the previous fiscal year data may be made after receiving approval from DOE Departmental Energy Management Team within the Office of Federal Energy Management Programs. The Departmental Energy Management Team also authorizes user access to EMS. CANCELE D Attachment 2 DOE O 430.2A Page 2 4-15-02 The Energy Consumption and Cost Report is the output from the EMS. In addition to containing absolute values for energy consumption and square footage, it contains calculated values such as British thermal units, percent reduction or increase in cost or consumption, and performance indexes such as British thermal units per year per gross square foot. In those cases where DOE sells energy to a non-DOE tenant, only the energy used by DOE is included in the Energy Consumption and Cost Report. 4. ENERGY REPORTING CATEGORIES. Energy usage and cost information is broken down into four energy categories: Buildings, Industrial and Laboratory Facilities, Exempt Facilities, and Vehicles and Equipment. a. Buildings. This category includes buildings where the predominant energy consumed is for comfort heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and other housekeeping functions. Office space, warehouses, cafeterias, utility plants, classrooms, medical buildings, maintenance shops, truck repair and maintenance facilities, and administrative computer centers would typically be in the Buildings category. b. Industrial and Laboratory Facilities. Executive Order 13123 established Industrial and Laboratory Facilities as a new end-use category. The Executive order defines Industrial Facilities as any fixed equipment, building, or complex for production, manufacturing, or other processes that uses large amounts of capital equipment in connection with, or as part of, any process or system, and within which the majority of energy use is not devoted to the heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, or to service the water heating energy load requirements of the facility. Laboratories can include research, academic, or industrial laboratories. Thus, industrial and laboratories are facilities that produce commercial quantities of a product, products manufactured for research and development, or research and analysis. Underground emplacement and mining, beam lines and associated support equipment, mission-related parts manufacturing, mission-related assembly and inspection stations, and research computer centers would typically be considered Industrial and Laboratory Facilities. Further guidance can be found at http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/indust.html. c. Exempt Facilities. Executive Order 13123 states that no facility will be exempt from being included in the energy efficiency improvement goals unless it meets the criteria for exemption issued by the Secretary of Energy. The criteria can be found at http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/criteria.html. The intent of the Executive order is to have a very few facilities exempt from its goals.

Section 12

Application for exempt status can be made for buildings and facilities in which it is technically infeasible to implement energy efficiency measures or where conventional performance measurement is rendered meaningless by an overwhelming proportion of process-dedicated energy. DOE guidance is that CANCELE D http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/criteria.html http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/indust.html DOE O 430.2A Attachment 2 4-15-02 Page 3 exempt facilities have to be separately metered and have at least 80 percent of their energy usage for nonhousekeeping functions. Application for exempt status may also be made for buildings and structures with very low energy usage per square foot (e.g., sheds, outside parking garages). Application for exempt status can also be made for buildings and structures during any year when the energy usage is skewed significantly from normal patterns due to decontamination, decommissioning, major renovations, etc. Any DOE field element seeking to use the Exempt Facility category must submit justification to DOE’s Federal Energy Management Program to demonstrate why it is technically infeasible and why process-dedicated energy may affect the site’s ability to meet the goals. The application must include the annual energy use of the facility by fuel type. Individual buildings that are not metered but meet the definition for an Exempt Facility are to be reported in the Buildings or the Industrial and Laboratory facilities category. Annual renewal of the Exempt Facility application is required. d. Vehicles and Equipment. This category includes fuels used in vehicles and equipment for official Government business, on and off DOE sites, that is not reported by the General Services Administration (GSA). GSA’s Agency Report of Motor Vehicles Data (Form SF-82) collects acquisition, fuel consumption, and fuel cost data for motor vehicles directly from vehicle fleet managers, including alternative fuel consumption data. Fuel used in generators, construction equipment, small engines, airplanes, golf- style personnel transportation, trucks, buses, boats, etc., not reported in Form SF-82 are reported in EMS. Any alternative fuels used in vehicles and equipment not reported in Form SF-82, will be reported in accordance with the following. Fuel Type Energy Consumed Factor Energy Reported Gasohol 1000 gallons .90 900 gallons gasoline Oxygenate 1000 gallons .89 890 gallons gasoline Methanol (M85) 1000 gallons .15 150 gallons gasoline Ethanol (E85) 1000 gallons .15 150 gallons gasoline Compressed natural gas 1000 gallons (gge) 1.0 1000 gallons gasoline Liquefied natural gas 1000 gallons 73,500 0.0735 million BTU Compressed natural gas 1000 gallons 29,000 0.029 million BTU Electricity 1000 kilowatt-hour 3,412 0.003412 million BTU Electricity must be reported in this category only if it is separately metered and billed from the electricity used in the other categories. Some states require that retail sales of compressed natural gas be reported in units of gasoline gallon equivalent (gge). This means that a gallon of compressed CANCELE D Attachment 2 DOE O 430.2A Page 4 4-15-02 natural gas, as registered on the pump, has the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline. 5. ENERGY TO BE REPORTED. Energy is reported by major fuel type. The energy reported into EMS is the energy that is used to support DOE activities and billed (directly or indirectly) to DOE, either through a utilities, fuel, or performance contract. It does not include any energy sold offsite or sold to tenants that are not a part of DOE. All onsite line losses and conversions (except from nuclear sources) must be included as energy consumed. For example:

Section 13

a. Steam is generated at the site for heating and industrial use. The site will report the consumption and cost by type of fuel that is input into the boilers (natural gas, coal, fuel oil). No deductions are taken for line losses or boiler efficiency. If the steam system provides steam to buildings that are in more than one reporting category (e.g., Buildings and Exempt Facilities), the fuel consumption and costs will have to be allocated between the various categories. Steam metering would be required according to Executive Order 13123 guidelines. b. The site operates a combined heat and power plant. The site will report the fuel consumption and cost by type of fuel (natural gas, coal, fuel oil) that is input into the plant. The site will not report any consumption of electricity or steam that is generated by the combined heat and power plant and is used onsite. If electricity or steam is sold offsite by the plant, the equivalent fuel consumption and costs for generating this additional electricity or steam can be taken as credit against the fuel consumption and costs for this plant. c. The site purchases electricity for an offsite customer or another agency. The purchased electricity and costs that are reported are the quantity billed to the DOE site less the amount and associated cost which is transmitted offsite or sold to a non-DOE entity. d. The site purchases bulk propane, liquified natural gas, fuel oil, or any other fuel type and distributes it without metering on an as-needed basis. The total amount of the bulk purchase is reported in the quarter that it is purchased. e. The site has entered into a performance contract. The contract requires the contractor to provide the energy needed to meet the specified space conditions and to operate certain equipment. Under this arrangement the contractor bills DOE (or a contractor operating the site for DOE) for the full cost of services provided rather than in energy units. The contract may have a variable price component in accordance with a fuel price index. The fuel usage and cost by fuel type at any facility that has such a contract for services is to be reported in the EMS. If the contractor is required to bill DOE on an energy usage basis for the amount of steam or electricity that is purchased, the quantities of steam or electricity purchased and their associated costs are reported. CANCELE D DOE O 430.2A Attachment 2 4-15-02 Page 5 f. The site has a contractor that is responsible for generating and distributing utilities from Government-owned plants and facilities to other DOE contractors at that site. The contractor distributing the utilities is allowed to charge the other site contractors for the fuel, labor, supplies, and other expenses related to generation and distribution of utilities. The energy usage that is reported in EMS is the energy that is purchased from the utility supplier and not the energy that is distributed to the other DOE contractors by the contractor that has the utilities operations responsibility. The cost that is reported in EMS is the cost paid to the utility company for the commodity and transportation. For example, site Contractor A buys natural gas to burn in a Government-owned steam plant and then sells steam to site Contractor B. Contractor A reports the natural gas usage. Contractor B does not report any steam usage.

Section 14

g. The site has a building it is leasing from a private entity under a full-service lease, and the cost of utilities is not charged separately under the lease, then utilities consumption and cost for this building does not have to be reported in EMS. If the site has a lease agreement under which the site pays the utilities directly, the site would report the utilities consumption and costs under EMS. If GSA is responsible for building operations and reports energy use for the leased space to the Federal Energy Management Program, no DOE reporting is required in EMS. However, if DOE is responsible for building operations and GSA does not report energy use, reporting of DOE energy consumption in EMS is required. 6. ENERGY CONVERSION FACTORS. EMS automatically converts energy sources into British thermal units using the following factors. Type of Energy Btu Content Billion Btu per Reporting Unit Electricity 3412 Btu/kWh (3) 0.003412 per MWH Fuel oil (1) 138,700 Btu/gallon 0.1387 per K Gal Natural gas 1,031 Btu/cubic feet 0.001031 per MCF Natural gas 1,000,000 Btu/MBtu (3) 0.001 per MBtu LPG (2) 95,500 Btu/gallon 0.0955 per K Gal Coal 24,580,000 Btu/short ton 0.02458 per short ton Purchased steam 1,000 Btu/lb 1.0 per Btu × 109 Purchased chilled water 1,000,000 Btu/MBtu 1.0 per Btu × 109 Purchased chilled water 12,000 Btu/ton-hours 1.0 per Btu × 109 Automotive gasoline 125,000 Btu/gallon 0.125 per K Gal Diesel (1) 138,700 Btu/gallon 0.1387 per K Gal Aviation gasoline 125,000 Btu/gallon 0.125 per K Gal Jet fuel 130,000 Btu/gallon 0.130 per K Gal (1) Includes all other petroleum distillates not specifically identified; e.g., kerosene and residuals. (2) Includes propane and butane. (3) Btu refers to British thermal unit; kWh refers to kilowatt-hours or 1,000 watt-hours; MWH refers to Megawatt- hours or 1,000,000 watt-hours; K Gal refers to 1,000 gallons; MCF refers to 1,000 cubic feet; MBtu refers to 1,000,000 Btu; 1,000 MBtu is 1Btu × 109; 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 Btu per hour. CANCELE D Attachment 2 DOE O 430.2A Page 6 4-15-02 Utilities suppliers bill customers for natural gas in either million Btus (MBtus), Therms, deca-therms, or hundred cubic feet (CCF). EMS input value is in thousand cubic feet (MCF). EMS converts the MCF value to billion Btus using the factor shown above. For EMS to correctly calculate the Btus, the user must first convert the utilities billing units to MCF. The following factors can be used to calculate the MCF value. Multiply By To Obtain billing millions Btu .9699 MCF billing deca-therms .9699 MCF billing Therms .09699 MCF billing CCF .1000 MCF 7. COSTS TO BE REPORTED. The costs reported in EMS are the billed cost for the energy consumed. For electricity, the cost includes demand charges and connection charges as well as consumption charges related to both the commodity and transportation. For natural gas, both commodity and transportation charges are included. The cost does not include any site overhead charges for DOE-funded maintenance, repairs, capital improvements, administrative charges, or other such costs related to onsite distribution system operations. The cost for coal, fuel oil, etc., is the cost of the fuel delivered to the site.

Section 15

8. SQUARE FOOTAGE TO BE REPORTED. Building, Industrial and Laboratory Facilities, and Exempt Facilities square footage is reported and used to measure progress toward energy reduction goals. The figure to be reported is the gross square footage shown in the FIMS (Facility Inventory Management System) database. The end-of-the- fiscal-year square footage figure in the FIMS database will be used as the quarterly square footage figure for each quarter in the EMS database. The square footage of a building on September 30 will be the square footage value for the entire year. If a newly constructed building is in full or partial use during September, but the building is not included in the FIMS database as of the end of this fiscal year, the square footage of the building will not be included in the site’s total square footage. Each building and structure at each DOE site is included in the FIMS database. The FIMS record for each building and structure shows the allocation of gross square footage into four categories for energy reporting purposes. The site energy manager and the site FIMS coordinator determine the square footage values that are assigned to each category. The categories are defined below. • Energy Consuming Buildings/Facilities: Square footage reported under the Buildings category of the Quarterly Energy Conservation Performance Report. This square footage represents the space whose energy usage is reported in the Buildings category. CANCELE D DOE O 430.2A Attachment 2 4-15-02 Page 7 • Energy Consuming Industrial and Laboratory Facilities: This square footage represents the space whose energy usage meets the definitions for industrial and laboratory facilities. This square footage represents the space whose energy usage is reported in the Industrial and Laboratory Facilities category (FIMS does not currently have a data field to capture square footage in this category and FIMS square footage for this category may come from either the building or metered process category). • Energy Consuming Metered Process (Exempt Facility): This square footage represents the space whose energy usage is reported in the Exempt Facility category. • Non-Energy-Consuming Buildings: This is the remaining gross square footage after the allocation to the three categories described above. The value in this category is automatically calculated within FIMS to be any gross square footage not assigned to the previous categories. 9. UTILITY SERVICES CONSUMPTION AND COST REPORTING. The Utility Services Consumption and Cost Report contains annual information about electricity and natural gas purchased by DOE. Data for the report is collected by supply contract. The purpose is to help manage the acquisition of utilities and ensure that DOE obtains the best value for these commodities. The data are needed for effective support of the following field utilities functions. • Assess the impact of utilities on site and program operating budgets. • Prepare budgets. • Develop utilities option studies and procurement plans. • Plan comprehensive site utilities development. • Provide a basis for utilities planning and contract negotiations. • Support interventions in utility rate cases that affect DOE’s consumer interest. • Comply with the GSA authority delegated to DOE.

Section 16

Instructions for collection of the data needed for the report will be included as part of EMS. Operations offices must coordinate with their sites to determine which office will provide the information needed for the report. The updated annual information must be provided as soon as possible after the end of the fiscal year. The reporting year for the Utility Services and Cost Report must be the same period of time used in the Energy Consumption and Cost Report. DOE field elements are responsible for ensuring that the data are current and accurate. The data include the cost and consumption of all the energy purchased under the supply contract, including energy that is resold to tenants, other agencies, or offsite customers. Cost and consumption for multiple accounts at a site may be aggregated provided they all have the same contract number, utility type, service CANCELE D Attachment 2 DOE O 430.2A Page 8 4-15-02 voltage or pressure, and rate schedule. Data related to natural gas and electricity transportation contracts are also included. Cost information includes all elements that are included on the utility invoice, including commodity, demand, power factor, transportation, fuel adjustment, facilities charges, taxes, and other charges. Sites that are tenants of another agency and reimburse that agency for energy are included in the reporting requirement. Energy used at leased facilities is not included unless DOE enters into utility contracts for the energy. Onsite generation of electricity, production of natural gas, or vaporization of liquified natural gas are not included in the data collection. 10. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REPORTING. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report measures progress toward meeting the Greenhouse Gases Reduction goals outlined in Executive Order 13123. This report is a companion report to the Energy Consumption and Cost Report. Sites are not required to submit any additional information for this report. The report is generated automatically by EMS using data from the Energy Consumption and Cost Report. The only greenhouse gas component calculated is carbon dioxide (CO2). It includes both baseline and current period energy usage and thousand pounds of CO2 emissions and the corresponding change in usage/emissions. The emissions factor for electricity varies by state or site to reflect the CO2 emissions for electricity generation sources. The emissions factor for electricity will be updated annually to reflect any changes. All other conversion factors are the same for all sites. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) provides the emissions factors. Sites that can obtain emissions factors from their electricity suppliers to demonstrate that the emissions related to their use of electricity are other than the EIA state emissions factor may propose that another emissions factor be used. 11. WATER USAGE REPORTING. The Water Usage Report is used to measure progress toward the water conservation goal outlined in Executive Order 13123. It includes the FY 2000 baseline and current year potable water usage and cost. Data are reported in million gallons per year and thousands of dollars. Water data is available from one or more of the following sources: facility meters, the local water/wastewater supplier, and/or metered wells and springs. If no actual water usage information is available then the site must estimate its water usage. Water use indexes are available through the Federal Energy Management Program to help in estimating water consumption. After establishment of the water baseline, Federal water usage will thereafter be reported every 2 years beginning in 2002. Further guidance from the Secretary of Energy can be found at http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/water.html and http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/resources/waterguide.html.
