14 PRESIDENTIAL AWARDS for LEADERSHIP in FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT Established under Executive Order 13123, the Presidential Awards for Federal Energy Management are the most prestigious awards given to federal employees for excellence in the wise management of energy and water resources in federal facilities. Now in its fourth year, the Awards were presented at a White House ceremony to recognize the very best efforts of federal agency energy teams. The federal government has a responsibility to lead in the challenge to achieve energy independence, and the teams receiving awards are at the forefront of this challenge. The projects presented here – which include energy management strategies, use of alternative financing tools, public outreach and communication programs, water management programs, and renewable energy projects – are helping us to meet growing energy demands while driving new markets for advanced technologies. These innovative approaches to energy management and the use of leading-edge technologies serve as an example to the federal government and the nation. The awards program was hosted by and included remarks from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget; David Garman, Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy; Hansford T. Johnson, Assistant Secretary, Installations and the Environment, Department of the Navy; and Ralph A. Moden, Senior Vice President, Government Relations, U.S. Postal Service. President Bush and Vice President Cheney extended their congratulations and gratitude to those federal agency teams recognized for outstanding efforts to make the federal government’s energy management program a beacon for the nation.
U.S. Department of Defense Naval Facilities Engineering Command “Outstanding Performance” The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Energy Program invests worldwide in energy efficiency, incorporating nearly all the Executive Order tools into its policies and practices to promote energy efficiency and achieve results. In this model program, NAVFAC: • Used alternative financing mechanisms, including energy savings performance contracts and utility energy service contracts, to fund cost effective energy efficiency improvements sooner rather than later, repaying the contractors with guaranteed energy cost savings; • Installed renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic arrays and geothermal systems to displace electricity generated from fossil fuels and to reduce dependence on the grid; • Installed highly energy-efficient cogeneration plants, which produce both electricity and heat; • Implemented water conservation plans, which save both water and energy; • Purchased ENERGY STAR® high efficiency appliances and lighting fixtures; • Applied ENERGY STAR® Building benchmarking standards to evaluate efficiency of existing buildings; and • Used sustainable building design standards in planning for construction of all new buildings. The NAVFAC program has generated significant results for the Navy and Marine Corps. To date, it has reduced energy consumption per gross square foot by 26 percent in standard buildings relative to the FY 1985 baseline. Energy intensity in industrial and laboratory facilities has also declined by 27 percent relative to the FY 1990 baseline. Investments of $200 million in energy saving projects during FY 2002 are expected to reduce energy consumption by more than 900 billion Btu per year, or enough energy for 600 typical office buildings. NAVFAC developed Internet-based reporting tools, such as the Defense Utility Energy Reporting System, to better track energy expenditures and ultimately reduce energy use and costs. The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center Web site features the Navy Energy Program’s business plan, information on establishing an energy program, technical information, on-line progress reporting of ongoing projects, tips for raising energy awareness, and recognition of past Secretary of the Navy Energy Award winners.
