U.S. Department of Energy ORDER
Washington, D.C.
Approved: 2-27-08
SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL ENERGY, RENEWABLE ENERGY AND
TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
1. PURPOSE. To provide requirements and responsibilities for managing Department of
Energy (DOE) energy, buildings, and fleets including:
a. To meet, lead or exceed the goals of all applicable laws, Executive Orders, and
Federal Regulations with respect to continuous energy efficiency and water
conservation improvements, increased and pervasive use of on-site, distributed
renewable and clean energy resources, increased development/deployment (using
private sector and other sources of funding) of innovative, utility-scale renewable
and clean energy sources on DOE and other Federal land, increased number of
sustainable buildings, optimized utilization of alternative fuel, hybrid, and plug-in
electric vehicles, and the expansion and maintenance of an alternative fuel
infrastructure at all DOE facilities, laboratories, and sites. Site refers to the DOE
entity which conducts operational activities. In most cases this refers to the
contractor(s) operating DOE owned or leased facilities at discrete locations across
the United States. In the case of Government-Owned-Government Operated
(GOGO) facilities (including Power Administrations), it refers to the DOE
operating organization.
b. To accomplish on a Department-wide basis and through the maximum utilization
of private sector, third-party financing, particularly from Energy Savings
Performance Contracts (ESPC) and Utility Energy Services Contracts (UESC)
applied in a life cycle cost effective manner, the following leadership goals:
(1) By FY 2015, reduce energy intensity by no less than 30 percent on
average across the entire Department, relative to the Department’s energy
use in FY 2003. Energy intensity means energy consumption per gross
square foot of building space, including industrial and laboratory facilities.
(2) By FY 2015, reduce potable water use by no less than 16 percent, relative
to the Department’s potable water use in FY 2007.
(3) The installation of advanced electric metering systems at all Department
sites in accordance with the DOE metering plan for site monitoring of
electric energy. Standard metering systems for steam, natural gas and
water must also be installed and centrally monitored at all Department
sites for steam, natural gas and water consumption. Advanced meters are
defined as having the capability to measure and record interval data (at
least hourly for electricity) and communicate the data to a remote location
in a format that can be easily integrated into an advanced metering system.
DOE O 430.2B
2 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
(4) The installation of on-site renewable energy (electric and thermal)
generation at all Department sites.
(5) The installation of sustainable building materials and practices throughout
the Department’s existing building assets and the attainment of the U.S.
Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Gold certification for all new construction and major
building renovations in excess of $5 million. All buildings falling below
this threshold are required to comply with the Guiding Principles for
Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings
(Guiding Principles).
Section 2
(6) The meeting of the 15 percent goal in Executive Order 13423 dated
January 24, 2007 (E.O. 13423) section 2(f)(ii) for incorporating the
sustainable practices of the Guiding Principles for energy and water and
related principles into the Department’s capital asset building inventory.
(7) The utilization of standardized operations and maintenance (O&M) and
measurement and verification (M&V) protocols coupled with real-time
information collection and centralized reporting capabilities.
(8) The commissioning of new equipment or retrofit construction to be
performed to ensure that systems are designed, installed, functionally
tested and capable of being operated and maintained to perform in
conformity with the project intent.
(9) The retro-commissioning (Retro-Cx) to review the condition of building
systems to be performed and return equipment that has fallen out of
desired operating parameters back into appropriate tolerances. Retro-Cx is
the process of optimizing an existing building’s operation and
maintenance through the implementation of low-cost and no-cost
improvements, and does not involve equipment replacement. Retro-Cx
focuses on energy using equipment such as mechanical systems, controls,
and sometimes lighting.
(10) The provision of access to alternative fuel infrastructure throughout the
Department to ensure that all alternative fuel vehicles will operate on
alternative fuels to the greatest extent practicable, and the replacement of
DOE conventional-fuel vehicles with alternative fuel and hybrid
technology vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as they
become available.
(11) The increase in development, generation and consumption of electric and
steam, natural gas from renewable energy sources and combined heat and
power sources.
DOE O 430.2B 3
2-27-08
(12) The increase in the use of non-potable water sources such as reclaimed,
recycled and grey water for appropriate applications.
(13) The expedited improvement in the quality, consistency and centralization
of data collected and reported through the use of commercially available
software.
c. To develop and commit to an Executable Plan for each Site that identifies their
respective contributions toward meeting all of the Department wide goals stated
above. An Executable Plan is defined to mean an action plan setting forth a
binding obligation of the applicable Site or Departmental element that commits
appropriate personnel resources, establishes a financing plan that prioritizes the
use of life-cycle cost effective private sector financing and optimizes the
application of appropriations and budgeted funds, and establishes a time line for
execution coupled with specific performance measures and deliverables designed
to achieve the listed requirements set forth in Section 1(b) in FY 2008 and 2009.
In the event that additional personnel, financing, or time is required, Executable
Plans must address how the site will achieve compliance with applicable
statutory, regulatory and executive order requirements, and deadlines while also
applying good faith efforts and/or the site specific goals as agreed to by DOE to
meet and exceed the additional requirements of this Order, as reasonably
practicable.
2. CANCELLATIONS. DOE O 430.2A, Departmental Energy and Utilities Management,
dated 4-15-02. Cancellation of an Order does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect
any contractual obligation to comply with the Order. Canceled Orders that are
incorporated by reference in a contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to
delete the references to the requirements in the canceled Orders.
Section 3

2-27-08
b. DOE Contractors. The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 1,
sets forth requirements of this Order that will apply to contractors responsible for
the management and operation of the Department-owned facilities whose
contracts include the CRD.
c. Exclusions. Services obtained by Power Marketing Administrations that are
directly incident to their marketing or transmission programs. Naval Nuclear
Propulsion facilities and activities under Executive Order 12344 as set forth in
Public Law 106-65.
4. REQUIREMENTS.
a. Reporting. The Department is required to submit an annual report to Congress in
accordance with the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) and a
report to the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in
accordance with E.O. 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and
Transportation Management.
(1) Section 543(c)(3) of NECPA as amended by the Energy Policy Act of
2005, states that the Secretary of Energy shall issue guidelines that
establish criteria for exclusions of Federal buildings or collections of
Federal buildings from the energy performance requirements for a fiscal
year, within the statutory framework provided by law. The Department
issued guidelines for excluding buildings from the Energy Performance
Requirements of Section 543 of NECPA on January 27, 2006. This
guidance can be found at
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/exclusion_criteria.pdf.
(2) Any Site seeking to use the Excluded Building category must submit
annual Exclusion Self-Certification in electronic spreadsheet format to the
Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) within the Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and to the site’s Program
Secretarial Officer, by November 15 of each year.
(3) An Excluded Building should, to the extent practicable, still be separately
metered and the Site should also provide third party verification to FEMP
that each Excluded Building has undergone a comprehensive energy audit
and implemented all practicable, life cycle cost-effective energy
conservation measures within the past four years.
(4) An exclusion applies to a single building and not the entire facility in
which the building is located.
b. TEAM Initiative. Each Site must develop, maintain and annually update an
Executable Plan that will define the respective Site’s energy, sustainable buildings
and fleet management program designed to promptly achieve the Department
wide goals as specified below, the objectives set forth in paragraph 1 and to
DOE O 430.2B 5
2-27-08
Section 4
comply with E.O. 13423, the Instructions for Implementation of E.O. 13423 dated
March 28, 2007, as well as all Guidance Documents issued in accordance thereto
and any modifications or amendments that may be issued from time to time. Site
Executable Plans must be in place by December 31, 2008.
Whenever life cycle cost-effective energy savings and other capital improvements
can be achieved through the application of private sector financing through
contracting vehicles such as ESPCs, such opportunities must receive priority over
the application of any appropriated funding.
Each energy, buildings and fleet management program must, to the greatest extent
possible, ensure the achievement of the following leadership goals established by
the Secretary's Transformational Energy Action Management (TEAM) Initiative:
(1) Achieve no less than a 30 percent energy intensity reduction across the
agency relative to the baseline of the Department’s energy use in FY 2003,
on or before FY 2015 in accordance with the Executable Plans in place for
all Department sites.
(2) Maximize installation of on-site renewable energy projects at all Sites
where technically and economically feasible to acquire at least 7.5 percent
of each site’s annual electricity and thermal consumption from on-site
renewable sources by FY 2010.
(3) Require that DOE's entire fleet operate any Alternative Fuel Vehicles
exclusively on alternative fuels to the maximum extent practicable.
(4) Baseline, implement and monitor a Department-wide plan to reduce
potable water consumption at least 16 percent by FY 2015, relative to the
baseline of the agency's potable water consumption in FY 2007. Sites
must have Executable Plans in place to meet their water reduction goals no
later than December 31, 2008.
(5) Achieve a LEED Gold certification for all new construction, and major
building renovations in excess of $5 million.
c. Energy and water management. The Department must use a variety of energy and
water management strategies and tools to meet the goals of this Order. Strategies
and tools include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Funding. The following instruments should be utilized to the maximum
extent practicable to implement energy efficiency management projects,
water management projects, and renewable energy projects with energy
conservation measures (ECMs) having long- and short-term payback
periods that can be incorporated into life-cycle cost effective contracts. To
the extent appropriate, appropriated funds may be combined with ESPCs
and UESCs to leverage government funding and optimize project scope
6 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
and reductions in energy use and cost of facility operations. Renewable
energy and high performance sustainable buildings measures must be
considered in each ESPC or UESC proposal and be implemented where
practical.
(a) ESPCs. ESPCs can facilitate and accelerate completion of large
projects that can incorporate ECMs with long- and short-term
payback periods, through life-cycle cost-effective performance
contracts.
(b) UESCs. UESCs, where permissible, enable DOE facilities to
contract for a broad array of energy management services
(including project financing) on a sole source basis from the local
serving electric, natural gas or water utility.
Section 5
(c) Direct Appropriated Funding. Appropriations should continue to
be requested in annual budget requests and prioritized for
application in projects or measures that cannot be done through
private sector financing or for application as cost share to
ESPCs/UESCs where permitted by statute so that larger, more
comprehensive projects can be undertaken. It is anticipated that
private financing will fund major portions of this Order and
therefore, sites must maximize the use of all available private
financing options.
(d) Ratepayer Incentives. Incentives and rebates from public benefit
funds or utilities should be utilized at every opportunity to enhance
energy reduction. Such rebates must either be used to reduce initial
project cost or returned to the budgeted account through which the
project was funded and may be included in estimated project
savings for financed projects.
(e) Retention of Funds. Verified savings from a facility’s energy and
water conservation projects must be reinvested, consistent with
Federal regulations, to further the energy and water conservation
and operations and maintenance efforts at that facility.
(2) On-site Renewable Energy. The Department will maximize the use of on-
site renewable energy to meet Federal renewable energy requirements.
Each site must install a renewable energy project or show that renewable
energy is not feasible at the site because of economic or renewable
resource barriers. If the Department manager responsible for a site
believes that meeting the renewable energy requirement through on-site
renewable generation is not feasible, the manager must submit a waiver
request in accordance with Section 5(a)(1) of this Order. A waiver request
must include a documented evaluation of the site's potential for both
distributed and utility-scale renewable energy development considering
DOE O 430.2B 7
2-27-08
first measures that are life-cycle cost-effective, then measures that cost the
same as fossil energy and could be used as a substitute, and then projects
that are not competitive but that have attributes that could justify
development, such as providing a more secure energy supply for the site
or a hedge against electricity price uncertainty. Site analyses conducted in
the course of implementing the TEAM initiative can serve as
documentation for a waiver request and should be reflected in the
Executable Plan. If on-site projects are inadequate to meet the renewable
energy goal, sites are allowed to increase the use of electricity from
renewable energy to meet the renewable energy goal by purchasing
renewable energy credits (RECs) or electricity from renewable energy
generators. All sites will include provisions for such renewable energy
purchases as a component in all future DOE competitive solicitations for
electricity.
(3) Distributed Generation. Where life-cycle cost effective, the Department
must implement distributed generation systems in new construction or
retrofit projects, including renewable systems such as solar electric, solar
lighting, geo (or ground coupled) thermal, small wind turbines, as well as
other generation systems such as fuel cell, cogeneration, or highly efficient
alternatives. In addition, the Department must use distributed generation
systems when a substantial contribution is made toward enhancing energy
reliability or security. To the extent authorized by Federal and State law,
excess renewable power generated by a site can be sold to other power
users. Distributed generation projects using private financing should be
life cycle cost-effective, but in cases where they provide other benefits
they may be combined with other energy conservation measures in larger
energy conservation projects that are cost effective in the aggregate.
Section 6
(4) Metering. To the maximum extent practicable, all Sites must install
metering devices that measure consumption of potable water, electricity,
steam, and natural gas in each building and other facilities and grounds. A
Departmental centralized tracking system for collecting advanced
metering data for electrical energy will be developed following a
feasibility study. Once developed, data from all Departmental advanced
metering devices must be collected for incorporation into this centralized
tracking system. Access to this system will be made available to facility
personnel and senior agency official responsible for compliance with this
Order. All facilities must incorporate the inclusion of metering
requirements in all ESPCs and UESCs, as appropriate.
(5) Auditing. All DOE elements must ensure that by December 31, 2008, all
major site facilities have been audited over the last five years. After
December 31, 2008, facilities should continue to be audited every four
years. This audit requirement can be met by audits done in the last five
years in conjunction with the site’s energy management program or under
8 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
ESPC or UESC projects. Facilities/sites that meet current exemption
guidelines will not have to comply with this requirement.
(6) New Buildings. The Department must meet the requirements of 10 CFR
Part 433 which indicate Federal commercial buildings be designed to
achieve energy saving of at least 30 percent below
ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, if cost-effective. Moreover,
the Department must meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® Building criteria,
and score the energy performance of buildings using the ENERGY
STAR® Portfolio Manager rating tool as part of comprehensive facility
audits. When evaluating the ENERGY STAR® target for a new building,
apply the more stringent standard set forth in the Table of Target Energy
Performance Results and the values required under 10 CFR Part 433 or
435 (as applicable). A Table of Target Energy Performance Results by
building type and climate required for this evaluation may be found at
http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/highperformance/pdfs/energy_use_i
ntensity_targets.pdf.
(7) Labs21. The Department must use programs such as the Labs21
partnership to encourage the development of sustainable, high
performance, and low-energy laboratories.
(8) Energy Purchasing. The Department must purchase, to the maximum
extent possible, electricity, steam, and natural gas from sources that use
high efficiency and low-carbon generating technologies in order to reduce
greenhouse gas intensity.
(9) Water Efficient Products. Where available, the Department must purchase
WaterSenseSM labeled products and other water efficient products and
choose irrigation contractors who are certified through a WaterSenseSM
labeled program.
(10) Demand Response. Each DOE facility must examine the cost effectiveness
of participation in local demand response programs. To the extent the
facility receives energy cost savings or payments they shall be reinvested
in accordance with paragraph 4.c.(1).(e) above.
(11) Data Centers. Reduce the energy consumption of data center and server
operations by specifying the acquisition of energy efficient electronic
equipment for data centers, operating the equipment to improve load
management and server innovation, and configuring the cooling
operations to maximize energy efficiency opportunities.
Section 7
d. Sustainable Design/High Performance Buildings. All new buildings will
incorporate the Guiding Principles of E.O. 13423 to the extent practical and life
cycle cost effective. As of October 1, 2008, all new buildings and major buildings
renovations at Critical Decision One (CD-1) or lower with a value exceeding $5
DOE O 430.2B 9
2-27-08
million, must implement the Guiding Principles of the Executive Order and attain
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED Gold certification. All new
construction or major renovation projects must incorporate renewable energy
equipment into building design to the maximum extent feasible. In the event that a
project manager has compelling reasons for attaining a certification other than
LEED Gold or believes that a certification can be attained from a nationally
recognized certification program that exceed LEED Gold requirements, such
project manager may seek to obtain a waiver from the LEED Gold requirement
from the Acquisition Executive made in consultation with the Senior Agency
Official (SAO) . The process and procedures required for obtaining such waiver
shall be set forth by a guidance document issued by the Department's intra-agency
High Performance Sustainable Buildings working group. In no case will a waiver
permit any construction or renovation project that does not meet or exceed
statutory goals, including the achievement of credits to exceed the ASHRAE
90.1-2004 standard by at least 30 percent, and address each of the five elements of
the Guiding Principles. Progress in meeting this requirement will be tracked by
the cognizant Acquisition Executive.
(1) Existing buildings. All programs that own or lease real property must
develop and implement a plan, as part of the Executable Plan, to ensure
that 15 percent of their enduring buildings are compliant with the guiding
principles of Executive Order 13423. Implementation of the plan must be
documented within the programs’ Ten Year Site Plans and through the
appropriate LEED building credits. Progress in meeting this requirement
will be tracked within the Department’s Facilities Information
Management System.
(2) High performance building plans. On August 15 of each year, the
Department must submit a plan to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive (OFEE)
that addresses how the Department will ensure that (1) all new
construction and renovation projects implement design, construction, and
maintenance and operation practices in support of the sustainable
design/high-performance buildings goals of E.O. 13423 and statutory
requirements and (2) existing facilities' maintenance and operation
practices in support of the goals of E.O. 13423. Such plans must also align
with E.O. 13327 and the Department's real property asset management
plan. At a minimum, the plans must address the following:
(a) Employment of integrated design principles, optimization of
energy efficiency and use of renewable energy, protection and
conservation of water, enhancement of indoor environmental
quality, and reduction of environmental impacts of materials in
accordance with the Guiding Principles and the other building and
construction-related E.O. 13423 goals and instructions.
10 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
Section 8
(b) Procurement of ENERGY STAR®-qualified or FEMP-
designated products when purchasing energy consuming
products. This includes incorporation into the specifications for
all procurements involving energy consuming products and
systems, including guide specifications, project specifications,
and construction, renovation, and services contracts that include
provision of energy consuming products and systems, and into
the factors for the evaluation of offers received for the
procurement, criteria for energy efficiency that are consistent
with the criteria used for rating ENERGY STAR®-qualified
products and FEMP-designated products.
(c) An assessment of policy, criteria, contracts, and other areas,
identifying gaps in the Department's sustainable building
program.
(d) Key action items, including major milestones and responsible
parties.
(3) Database. The Department will maintain a Departmental High
Performance Federal Buildings Database designed to document the
planning, execution and maintenance of the requirements set forth in
Section d. All such information must be available on the web. At least
one project per year must be showcased in the existing High
Performance Federal Buildings Database on the web at
http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp/highperformance/index.cfm.
(4) Leased facilities. Starting in FY 2008, all procurement specifications and
selection criteria for acquiring new leased space, including build-to-suit
lease solicitations are to include a preference for buildings certified as
LEED Gold. When entering into renegotiation or extension of existing
leases, the Department must include lease provisions that support the
Guiding Principles.
(5) DOE Headquarters. The Forrestal and Germantown headquarters
facilities are hereby designated as Department "showcase facilities" and
are required to prominently feature, and periodically upgrade, the
application and use of state-of-the-art energy and water efficiency, high
performance sustainable buildings, and renewable energy technologies.
(6) Petroleum based fuels. The use of petroleum-based fuels will be
minimized in DOE-owned buildings and facilities by switching to a less
greenhouse gas intensive, non-petroleum-based energy source such as
natural gas or renewable energy source as measured at the end source.
For buildings and facilities that use petroleum-based fuel systems,
provide dual-fuel capability where life cycle cost-effective and
practicable.
DOE O 430.2B 11
2-27-08
e. Transportation/Fleet Management.
(1) To achieve the petroleum reduction goal of Section 2(g) of E.O. 13423,
the Department must:
(a) Reduce vehicle miles traveled through such methods as trip
consolidation practices, increased use of videoconferencing and
web conferencing, and the use of mass transportation/agency
shuttles.
(b) Increase overall fleet fuel economy through acquisition of higher
fuel economy vehicles (e.g., smaller sized vehicles, hybrid-electric
vehicles, and other advanced technology vehicles).
(c) "Right-size" its fleet, employing the most fuel-efficient vehicle for
the required task and having the appropriate number of vehicles
relative to need.
(d) Employ efficiency strategies that reduce energy such as low rolling
resistant tire or synthetic oil which allow for extended replacement
frequencies, and other technologies.
(e) Consider the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and
the use of electric drive vehicles to the extent feasible and in
accordance with applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders
and Departmental guidance.
Section 9
(2) To achieve the goals of the Secretary's TEAM Initiative, and ensure that
the Department remains a leader in sustainable transportation
management, each Departmental Element must:
(a) By the end of December 31, 2008, ensure that each of its sites with
alternative-fuel and diesel vehicles has adopted as part of its
Executable Plan the requirement that all alternative fuel vehicles
operate on alternative fuel to the maximum extent possible. The
procedure for each site to arrange alternative fuel access should be
executed as follows:
1 Potential existing alternative fuel infrastructure must be
investigated, using, among other tools, DOE's Alternative
Fueling Station Locator.
2 Where no infrastructure currently exists within five miles,
DOE and NNSA fleet management and the site shall
investigate possible solutions through private-sector
alternative fuel distributors, including existing fuel vendors
and stations. Where possible, collaborations should be
12 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
sought with nearby Federal, State or local governments to
aggregate demand for alternative fuel. Sites must work with
DOE's Clean Cities program to coordinate these teaming
arrangements.
3 When these options have been exhausted, DOE sites
must initiate a procurement process for the installation
of on-site alternative fueling infrastructure including
fuel pumps. On-site fueling should be pursued when
cost-effective. Headquarters and NNSA fleet
management should work with sites to develop
proposals and seek private fuel vendors able to meet
each site's specific need.
(b) Each Departmental element must arrange for the procurement of
alternative-fuel vehicles to replace the existing conventional-fuel
fleet to the extent practicable, with the goal of replacing the
existing fleet with alternative fuel and/or hybrid technology
vehicles by the end of FY 2010.
(c) For the purposes of the TEAM Initiative, "alternative fuel
vehicles" are defined according to Section 301 of EPAct
1992.
f. Data and Tracking.
(1) Annual reports. The Department must provide compliance data to FEMP
no later than December 1 of each year or as otherwise required by FEMP.
The Department must implement internal policies that will ensure accurate
tracking of the vehicle acquisitions and inventory, mileage, fuel
consumption by fuel type, and other relevant data. FEMP must specify the
reporting format and collection methods for data to be submitted. FEMP
will continually update and maintain FAST to reflect the goals of the
TEAM Initiative and E.O. 13423.
(2) Monthly reports. Upon the monthly receipt from GSA of the
Department's vehicle tag numbers, fuel use data (by fuel type for all
petroleum and alternative fuels) for covered GSA-leased vehicles, the
Department must track these data to ensure its accuracy and also track
comparable data for all covered Department-owned and commercially
leased vehicles.
(3) Credits. Alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisition requirements are set
forth in section 303 of EPAct 1992. Vehicles acquired under section 303
means (i) new purchase, (ii) a newly leased vehicle, or (iii) a leased
vehicle that replaces an existing leased vehicle. In calculating AFV
DOE O 430.2B 13
2-27-08
acquisition compliance, the Department must receive the following
credits:
(a) One credit for each dual-fuel AFV (flexible fuel or bi-fuel),
regardless of vehicle size class as long as the vehicle meets the
AFV definition of EPAct 1992, as amended by EPAct 2005.
Section 10
(b) Two credits for each dedicated light-duty AFV.
(c) Three credits for each dedicated medium-duty AFV.
(d) Four credits for each dedicated heavy-duty AFV.
g. Utilities Acquisition and Management.
(1) Every Site will be supported by a Headquarters program office that will
coordinate its utilities acquisition and management program to provide a
consistent corporate approach to utilities acquisition and management,
especially at multi-program sites.
(2) Utilities management performance measures will be commensurate with
the value and importance of the asset.
(3) Utilities acquisition and management performance measures must ensure
formal, comprehensive, integrated, documented planning and control
methods. These measures will address, but not be limited to, the
following:
(a) a planning process for utilities acquisition and management.
(b) ensuring that each facility complies with the renewable and clean
energy utility acquisition requirements of this order.
(c) ensuring electric, gas, and water loads are met and managed to
minimize cost of utilities maximize reliability, and mitigate the
impact of supply disruptions.
(d) maximizing the use of clean and renewable energy resources
(procured from off-site sources or generated on-site) to minimize
environmental impacts and green houses gas emissions. Excess
renewable power generated or procured by a site can be sold to
other power users.
(4) The process for operation and maintenance of physical assets at the site
must ensure efficient and effective management and use of on-site utility
distribution systems and supply contracts.
14 DOE O 430.2B
2-27-08
(5) Utilities services shall be acquired and disposed of via prime contract
awarded to the energy supplier by DOE, the General Services
Administration (GSA), or by the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC).
(6) In the acquisition and management of utilities, DOE elements must ensure
that all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations are
followed.
(7) The installation of advanced meters to the maximum extent practicable at
all buildings and participation in the centralized data collection, reporting
and management system.
h. Personnel Management.
(1) Train personnel at each site to direct energy and water management
programs and dedicate all or a substantial portion of their time to the
effective implementation of energy and water management plans.
(2) Ensure accountability by including the successful implementation of this
order in the performance evaluations for the Senior Agency Official and
relevant staff such as facility managers, energy managers, vehicle fleet
managers, contracting officials and facility managers and others as
appropriate.
(3) Implement employee incentive programs to reward exceptional individual
and team performance in increasing energy efficiency and water
conservation, deploying renewable energy, minimizing waste, reducing

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE O 430.2B, Departmental Energy, Renewable Energy and Transportation Management
Major facilities contractors managing and operating Department of Energy (DOE), including
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), facilities or subcontracting the operation and
maintenance of DOE facilities must have a documented energy management program and an
energy management plan. Major facilities contractors are responsible for (1) compliance with the
requirements of this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) regardless of the performer of
the work and (2) flowing down the requirements of the CRD of the Order to subcontracts to the
extent necessary to ensure contractors' compliance with the requirements. The following items
are required of the contractor organization using a graded approach:
1. ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
Section 18
a. The energy management program must be performance oriented and demonstrate
continuous life cycle cost-effective improvements to increase the energy
efficiency and effective management of energy, water and vehicle fleets within
DOE's buildings, laboratories, and production facilities while increasing the use
of clean energy sources.
b. The contractor shall assist the Department through direct participation and other
support in achieving the Department's energy efficiency goals and objectives in
electricity, water, and thermal consumption, conservation, and savings, including
goals and objectives contained in E.O.13423. The contractor shall maintain and
update, as appropriate, its Ten Year Site Plan/Executable Plan (as required
elsewhere in the contract) to include detailed energy management programs and
milestones for achieving site-specific energy efficiency goals and objectives. With
respect to this paragraph, the energy management program shall consider all
potential sources of funds, in the following order: 1) the maximum use of private
sector, third-party financing applied on a life-cycle cost effective basis,
particularly from Energy Savings Performance Contracts and Utility Energy
Services Contracts awarded by the Department; and 2) only after third-party
financing options are evaluated, in the event that energy efficiency and water
conservation improvements cannot be effectively incorporated into a private
sector financing arrangement that is in the best interests of the Government, then
Department funding and funding from overhead accounts can be utilized.
c. The energy management program must be sufficiently staffed with trained energy
managers to accomplish life cycle cost-effective energy efficiency improvements
at the site and report progress toward statutory, regulatory and departmental
requirements. The site will dedicate all or a substantial portion of the energy or
facility managers time to the effective implementation of energy, water and fleet
management plans.
d. The energy management program as described in the Executable Plan must be
integrated with Ten Year Site Planning, operations, and acquisition systems.
Attachment 1 DOE O 430.2B
Page 2 2-27-08
Management systems must be in place to report the site's energy consumption and
cost for fuels by fuel type and energy category through the Department's data
energy management system. Such systems must be updated to DOE standards,
which will include the real time collection of such data. The data energy
management system is a Web-based data collection and reporting system.
Management systems must be in place to document and measure progress toward
the Department's energy efficiency leadership goals and requirements and to
confirm that renewable energy infrastructure development, energy and utilities
management, water conservation, and fleet performance expectations are being
met or exceeded.
e. The energy management program must be integrated with the site's Integrated
Safety Management System to optimize the efficient use of energy and water,
while minimizing waste and protecting the safety and health of workers.
2. ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
a. Each contractor must develop, maintain, and annually update their energy,
buildings, and fleet management programs as defined in their Executable Plan in
order to assist DOE in meeting its obligations under E.O.13423 dated January 24,
2007, the Instructions for Implementation of such Executive Order dated March
28, 2007, as well as all Guidance Documents issued in accordance thereto and any
modifications or amendments that may be issued from time to time. This program
must have a special focus on the Department's Transformational Energy Action
Management (TEAM) objectives and an Executable Plan in place by 12/31/08.
Section 19
b. The energy management plan must contain an emergency conservation
component to mitigate the effects of a sudden disruption in the supply of fuel oil,
natural gas, electricity, and other critical energy supplies.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS). Each DOE contractor must
develop and implement an environmental management system that includes measurable
environmental, energy, and transportation objectives and targets that are reviewed
annually, are updated when appropriate, and contribute to achieving the sustainable
practice goals established in this CRD. [See the latest version of DOE Order 450.1.]
4. REPORTING. Each contractor is required to submit an annual report to the DOE
Program/Site Office in order to assist DOE in meeting its obligations under the National
Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) and in accordance with E.O. 13423,
Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management.
a. Section 543 (c)(3) of NECPA as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
states that the Secretary of Energy shall issue guidelines that establish criteria for
exclusions of any Federal building or collection of Federal buildings, within the
statutory framework provided by law. The Department issued guidelines for
excluding buildings from the Energy Performance Requirements of Section 543
of NECPA on January 27, 2006. This guidance can be found at
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/exclusion_criteria.pdf.
DOE O 430.2B Attachment 1
2-27-08 Page 3
b. Any contractor seeking to use the Excluded Building category must submit annual
Exclusion Self-Certification in electronic spreadsheet format to the DOE
Program/Site Office by November 1 of each year.
c. An Excluded Building should, to the extent practicable, still be separately metered
and the contractor should also provide third party verification to the Federal
Energy Management Program (FEMP) that each Excluded Building has
undergone a comprehensive energy audit and implemented all practicable, life
cycle cost-effective energy conservation measures within the past four years.
d. An exclusion applies to a single building and not the entire facility in which the
building is located.
5. TEAM INITIATIVE. Each contractor must develop, maintain, and annually update an
Executable Plan that will define the respective Site’s energy, sustainable buildings and
fleet management program designed to assist DOE in meeting its obligations under
E.O.13423 dated January 24, 2007, the Instructions for Implementation of E.O. 13423
dated March 28, 2007, as well as all Guidance Documents issued in accordance thereto
and any modifications or amendments that may be issued from time to time.
Whenever life cycle cost-effective, energy savings and other capital improvements can be
achieved through the application of private sector financing through contracting vehicles
such as Energy Services Performance Contracts (ESPC), such opportunities must receive
priority over the application of any appropriated funding.
Each energy, buildings, and fleet management program must, to the greatest extent
possible, develop an Executable Plan that will ensure the achievement of the following
leadership goals established by the Secretary's Transformational Energy Action
Management (TEAM) Initiative:
a. By 2015, achieve no less than a 30 percent energy intensity reduction across the
contractor’s facility/site in accordance with Executable Plans in place for all
facilities/sites no later than six months after the addition of this CRD to the
contract, relative to the baseline of the contractor’s energy use in FY 2003.
Section 20
b. Maximize installation of on-site renewable energy projects at the contractor's
facility/site where technically and economically feasible to acquire at least 7.5
percent of each site’s annual electricity and thermal consumption from on-site
renewable sources by in FY 2010.
c. Require that the contractor's entire fleet operate any Alternative Fuel Vehicles
exclusively on alternative fuels to the maximum extent practicable.
d. Reduce potable water consumption at least 16 percent relative to the baseline of
the facility/site's potable water consumption in FY 2007. Contractor facilities/sites
must meet the water reduction goal or have Executable Plans in place to meet this
goal no later than December 31, 2008.
Attachment 1 DOE O 430.2B

e. Achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for all new construction and
major building renovations in excess of $5 million. All buildings falling below
this threshold are required to comply with the Guiding Principles for Federal
Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (Guiding Principles).
6. ENERGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT. Each contractor must use a variety of
energy and water management strategies and tools to meet the goals of this CRD.
Strategies and tools include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Funding. The following instruments should be utilized to the maximum extent
practicable to implement energy efficiency management projects, water
management projects, and renewable energy projects with energy conservation
measures (ECMs) having long- and short-term payback periods that can be
incorporated into life-cycle cost effective contracts. To the extent appropriate,
appropriated funds may be combined with Energy Savings Performance Contracts
(ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs) to leverage government
funding and optimize project scope and reductions in energy use and cost of
facility operations. Renewable energy and high performance sustainable buildings
measures must be considered in each ESPC or UESC proposal and be
implemented where practical.
(1) ESPCs. ESPCs can accomplish and accelerate completion of large projects
that can incorporate ECMs with long- and short-term payback periods,
through life-cycle cost-effective performance contracts.
(2) UESCs. UESCs, where permissible, enable DOE facilities to contract for a
broad array of energy management services (including project financing)
from the local serving electric, natural gas or water utility.
(3) Direct Appropriated Funding. Appropriations should continue to be
requested in annual budget requests and prioritized for application in
projects or measures that cannot be done through private sector financing
or for application as cost share to ESPCs/UESCs where permitted by
statute so that larger, more comprehensive projects can be undertaken.
Recommendations from the site/facility contractor should be made with
the understanding private financing will fund major portions of this Order
and therefore, facilities/sites must maximize the use of all available private
financing options.
(4) Ratepayer Incentives. Incentives and rebates from public benefit funds or
utilities should be utilized at every opportunity to enhance energy
reduction. Such rebates must either be used to reduce initial project cost or
returned to the budgeted account through which the project was funded
and may be included in estimated project savings for financed projects.
Section 21
(5) Retention of Funds. Verified savings from a facility’s energy and water
conservation projects must be reinvested, consistent with Federal
DOE O 430.2B Attachment 1
2-27-08 Page 5
regulations, to further the energy and water conservation and operations
and maintenance efforts at that facility.
b. On-site Renewable Energy. The contractor will maximize the use of on-site
renewable energy to meet DOE renewable energy requirements. Each facility/site
must install a renewable energy project or show that renewable energy is not
feasible at the site because of economic or renewable resource barriers. If meeting
the renewable energy requirement through on-site renewable generation is not
feasible, the contractor must request a waiver. A waiver request must include a
documented evaluation of the site's potential for both distributed and utility-scale
renewable energy development considering first measures that are life-cycle cost-
effective, then measures that cost the same as fossil energy and could be used as a
substitute, and then projects that are not competitive but that have attributes that
could justify development, such as providing a more secure energy supply for the
site or a hedge against electricity price uncertainty. Site analyses conducted in the
course of implementing the TEAM initiative can serve as documentation for a
waiver request and should be reflected in the Executable Plan. If on-site projects
are inadequate to meet the renewable energy goal, sites are allowed to increase the
use of electricity from renewable energy to meet the renewable energy goal by
purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) or electricity from renewable energy
generators. All facilities/sites will include provisions for renewable energy
purchases as a component in all future DOE competitive solicitations for
electricity.
c. Distributed Generation. Where life-cycle cost effective, the contractor must
implement distributed generation systems in new construction or retrofit projects,
including renewable systems such as solar electric, solar lighting, geo (or ground
coupled) thermal, small wind turbines, as well as other generation systems such as
fuel cell, cogeneration, or highly efficient alternatives. In addition, the contractor
must use distributed generation systems when a substantial contribution is made
toward enhancing energy reliability or security. To the extent authorized by
Federal and State law, excess renewable power generated by a site can be sold to
other power users. Distributed generation projects should be life cycle cost
effective, but in cases where they provide other benefits they may be combined
with other energy conservation measures in larger energy conservation projects
that are cost effective in the aggregate.
d. Metering. To the maximum extent practicable, the contractor must install
metering for devices that measure consumption of potable water, electricity,
steam, and natural gas in each building and other facilities and grounds. A
Departmental centralized tracking system for collecting advanced metering data
for electrical energy will be developed following a feasibility study. Once
developed, data from all Departmental advanced metering devices must be
collected for incorporation into this centralized tracking system. Access to this
system will be made available to facility/site personnel. All facilities/sites must
incorporate the inclusion of metering requirements in all ESPCs and UESCs, as
appropriate.
Section 22
Attachment 1 DOE O 430.2B
Page 6 2-27-08
e. Auditing. By six months after the addition of this CRD to the contract, all major
site facilities should have been audited over the last five years. After December
31, 2008, facilities should continue to be audited every four years. This audit
requirement can be met by audits done in the last five years in conjunction with
the site’s energy management program or under ESPC or UESC projects.
Facilities/sites that meet current exemption guidelines will not have to comply
with this requirement.
f. New Buildings. For applicable facilities/sites, the contractor must meet the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 433. Requirements of 10 CFR Part 433 indicate
Federal commercial buildings be designed to achieve energy savings of at least 30
percent below ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, if cost-effective.
Moreover, the contractor must meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® Building
criteria, and score the energy performance of buildings using the ENERGY
STAR® Portfolio Manager rating tool as part of comprehensive facility audits.
When evaluating the ENERGY STAR® target for a new building, apply the more
stringent standard set forth in the Table of Target Energy Performance Results
and the values required under 10 CFR Part 433 or 435 (as applicable). A Table of
Target Energy Performance Results by building type and climate required for this
evaluation may be found at
http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/highperformance/pdfs/energy_use_intensit
y_targets.pdf.
g. Labs21. For applicable facilities/sites, the contractor must use programs such as
the Labs21 partnership to encourage the development of sustainable, high
performance, and low-energy laboratories.
h. Energy Purchasing. The contractor must purchase, to the maximum extent
possible, electricity, steam, and natural gas from sources that use high efficiency
and low-carbon generating technologies in order to reduce greenhouse gas
intensity.
i. Water Efficient Products. Where available, the contractor must purchase
WaterSenseSM labeled products and other water efficient products and choose
irrigation contractors who are certified through a WaterSenseSM labeled program.
j. Demand Response. Each contractor must examine the cost effectiveness of
participation in local demand response programs. To the extent the contractor
receives energy cost savings or payments, they shall be reinvested to further the
energy and water conservation efforts at that facility/site in accordance with
Paragraph 6.a.(5).
k. Data Centers. Reduce the energy consumption of data center and server
operations by specifying the acquisition of energy efficient electronic equipment
for data centers, operating the equipment to improve load management and server
innovation, and configuring the cooling operations to maximize energy efficiency
opportunities.
DOE O 430.2B Attachment 1

7. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN/HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS.
Section 23
a. New construction and major building renovations in excess of $5 million. All new
buildings will incorporate the Guiding Principles of Executive Order 13423 to the
extent practical and life cycle cost effective. As of October 1, 2008, all new
buildings and major buildings renovations at Critical Decision One (CD-1) or
lower with a value exceeding $5 million, must implement the Guiding Principles
of the Executive Order and attain LEED Gold certification. All new construction
or major renovation projects must incorporate renewable energy equipment into
building design to the maximum extent feasible. In the event that a project
manager has compelling reasons for attaining a certification other than LEED
Gold or believes that a certification can be attained from a nationally recognized
certification program that exceed LEED Gold requirements, such project manager
may seek to obtain a waiver from the LEED Gold requirement in consultation
with the DOE Program/Site Office. The process and procedures required for
obtaining such waiver shall be set forth by a guidance document issued by the
Department's intra-agency High Performance Sustainable Buildings working
group. In no case will a waiver permit any construction or renovation project that
does not meet or exceed statutory goals, including the achievement of credits to
exceed the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard by at least 30 percent, and address each
of the five elements of the Guiding Principles. Progress in meeting this
requirement will be tracked by the cognizant Departmental Field Element office.
b. Existing buildings. All contractors that own or lease real property must develop
and implement a plan, as part of the Executable Plan, to ensure that 15 percent of
their enduring buildings are compliant with the guiding principles of Executive
Order 13423. Implementation of the plan must be documented within the
programs’ Ten Year Site Plans and through the appropriate LEED building
credits. Progress in meeting this requirement will be tracked within the
Department’s Facilities Information Management System.
c. High performance building plans. On August 1 of each year, the contractor must
submit a plan to their respective and appropriate Department Field Element Office
that addresses how the contractor will ensure that (1) all new construction and
renovation projects implement design, construction, and maintenance and
operation practices in support of the sustainable design/high-performance
buildings goals of E.O. 13423 and statutory requirements and (2) existing
facilities' maintenance and operation practices in support of the goals of E.O.
13423. Such plans must also align with E.O. 13327 and the Department's real
property asset management plan. At a minimum, the plans must address the
following:
(1) Employment of integrated design principles, optimization of energy
efficiency and use of renewable energy, protection and conservation of
water, enhancement of indoor environmental quality, and reduction of
environmental impacts of materials in accordance with the Guiding
Attachment 1 DOE O 430.2B
Page 8 2-27-08
Principles and the other building and construction-related E.O. 13423
goals and instructions.
Section 24
(2) Procurement of ENERGY STAR®-qualified or FEMP-designated
products when purchasing energy consuming products. This includes
incorporation into the specifications for all procurements involving energy
consuming products and systems, including guide specifications, project
specifications, and construction, renovation, and services contracts that
include provision of energy consuming products and systems, and into the
factors for the evaluation of proposals received for the procurement,
criteria for energy efficiency that are consistent with the criteria used for
rating ENERGY STAR®-qualified products and FEMP-designated
products.
(3) An assessment of policy, criteria, contracts, and other areas, identifying
gaps in the facility/site's sustainable building program.
(4) Key action items, including major milestones and responsible parties.
d. Database. The contractor is responsible for collecting data and providing the
information for inputting into the web-based Departmental High Performance
Federal Buildings Database, designed to document the planning, execution and
maintenance of the requirements set forth in this Section.
e. Leased facilities. Starting in FY 2008, all procurement specifications and
selection criteria for acquiring new leased space, including build-to-suit lease
solicitations are to include a preference for buildings certified LEED Gold. When
entering into renegotiation or extension of existing leases, the contractor must
include lease provisions that support the Guiding Principles.
f. Petroleum-based fuels. Contractors must make all reasonable efforts to minimize
the use of petroleum-based fuels in DOE-owned buildings and facilities by
switching to a less greenhouse gas intensive, non-petroleum-based energy source
such as natural gas or renewable energy source, as measured at the end source.
For buildings and facilities that use petroleum-based fuel systems, contractors
must provide dual-fuel capability where life cycle cost-effective and practicable.
8. TRANSPORTATION/FLEET MANAGEMENT.
a. To achieve the petroleum reduction goal of Section 2(g) of E.O. 13423, the
contractor must:
(1) Reduce vehicle miles traveled through such methods as trip consolidation
practices, increased use of videoconferencing and web conferencing, and
the use of mass transportation/agency shuttles.
(2) Increase overall fleet fuel economy through acquisition of higher fuel
economy vehicles (e.g., smaller sized vehicles, hybrid-electric vehicles,
and other advanced technology vehicles).
DOE O 430.2B Attachment 1
2-27-08 Page 9
(3) "Right-size" its fleet, employing the most fuel-efficient vehicle for the
required task and having the appropriate number of vehicles relative to
need.
(4) Employ efficiency strategies that reduce energy such as low rolling
resistant tire, synthetic oil which allows for extended replacement
frequencies, and other technologies.
(5) Consider the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and the use
of electric drive vehicles to the extent feasible and in accordance with
applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders and Departmental
guidance.
b. To achieve the goals of the Secretary's TEAM Initiative, and ensure that the
Department remains a leader in sustainable transportation management, each
contractor must:
Section 25
(1) By six months after the addition of this CRD to the contract, ensure that
each facility/site with alternative fuel and diesel vehicles has adopted as
part of its Executable Plan the requirement that all alternative fuel vehicles
operate on alternative fuel to the maximum extent possible. The procedure
for each facility/site to arrange alternative fuel access should be executed
as follows:
(a) Potential existing alternative fuel infrastructure must be
investigated, using, among other tools, DOE's Alternative Fueling
Station Locator.
(b) Where no infrastructure currently exists within five miles, the
contractor shall investigate possible solutions through private-
sector alternative fuel distributors, including existing fuel vendors
and stations. Where possible, collaborative efforts should be
sought with nearby Federal, State or local governments to
aggregate demand for alternative fuel. Facilities/sites must work
with DOE's Clean Cities program to coordinate these teaming
arrangements.
(c) When these options have been exhausted, the facility/site must
initiate a procurement process for the installation of on-site
alternative fueling infrastructure including fuel pumps. On-site
fueling should be pursued when cost-effective.
(2) The contractor must arrange for the procurement of alternative-fuel
vehicles to replace the existing conventional-fuel fleet to the extent
practicable, with the goal of replacing the existing fleet with alternative
fuel and/or hybrid technology vehicles by the end of FY 2010.
(3) For the purposes of the TEAM Initiative, "alternative fuel vehicles" are
defined according to Section 301 of EPAct 1992.
Attachment 1 DOE O 430.2B
Page 10 2-27-08
9. DATA AND TRACKING.
a. Annual reports. The contractor must provide compliance data to its appropriate
Department office no later than November 23 of each year, or as otherwise
required by the appropriate Department office. The contractor must implement
internal policies that will ensure accurate tracking of the vehicle acquisitions and
inventory, mileage, fuel consumption by fuel type, and other relevant data.
b. Monthly reports. Upon the monthly receipt from the Department of the
facility/site's vehicle tag numbers, fuel use data (by fuel type for all petroleum and
alternative fuels) for covered GSA-leased vehicles, the contractor must track these
data to ensure its accuracy and also track comparable data for all covered
Department-owned and commercially leased vehicles.
c. Credits. Alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisition requirements are set forth in
section 303 of EPAct 1992. Vehicles acquired under section 303 means (i) new
purchase, (ii) a newly leased vehicle, or (iii) a leased vehicle that replaces an
existing leased vehicle. In calculating AFV acquisition compliance, the
Department must receive the following credits:
(1) One credit for each dual-fuel AFV (flexible fuel or bi-fuel), regardless of
vehicle size class as long as the vehicle meets the AFV definition of
EPAct 1992, as amended by EPAct 2005.
(2) Two credits for each dedicated light-duty AFV.
(3) Three credits for each dedicated medium-duty AFV.
(4) Four credits for each dedicated heavy-duty AFV.
10. WATER MANAGEMENT. Ensure that water reduction goals are included in the
Executable Plans.
11. UTILITIES MANAGEMENT.
Section 26
a. The Department is governed by EPACT 2005, Section 203(a) [42 U.S.A.
15,852(a)], which requires DOE to consume increasing amounts of renewable
energy over time. The contractor must assist DOE in meeting its obligations under
this statute. The availability and cost of renewable energy varies greatly by
geographical location, market maturity and availability over time, and individual
contracts may be affected at different levels than the thresholds set out in the
statute to ensure the Department as a whole meets its obligations.
b. The contractor must ensure the installation of advanced meters to the maximum
extent practicable at all buildings and participation in the centralized data
collection, reporting and management system.
c. The contractor must use an environmental management system to establish, track,
and review its progress towards meeting the energy efficiency, water
DOE O 430.2B Attachment 1
2-27-08 Page 11 (and Page 12)
conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, and renewable energy goals as reflected
in their Executable Plans.
12. PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT.
a. The contractor must train personnel at the facility/site to direct energy and water
management programs and dedicate all or a substantial portion of their time to the
effective implementation of energy and water management plans.
b. The contractor must implement employee incentive programs to reward
exceptional individual and team performance in increasing energy efficiency and
water conservation, deploying renewable energy, minimizing waste, reducing
utility costs, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
c. The contractor must implement outreach programs to motivate employees to
become more efficient in their use of energy, water, and green products and
services, and to minimize waste.
