38 Effective Program Implementation and Management Award to an Individual Ray Levinson United States Postal Service Pacific Area The Pacific Area of the U.S. Postal Service, under the leadership of Ray Levinson, has established one of the most comprehensive energy management programs in the federal sector. Mr. Levinson has created a set of policies, procedures, and tools that have enabled Ray Levinson his region to move toward an advanced state of economically and environmentally efficient use of energy, consistent with federal energy goals and objectives. Mr. Levinson structured his energy efficiency activities around three program areas: establishing an effective administrative structure; providing useful tools including energy data collection and reporting and contractual vehicles; and implementing specific energy management related projects. For example, Mr. Levinson was responsible for the acquisition by the Postal Service of the largest building-integrated photovoltaic system among all federal agencies – a 127 kilowatt system installed on the roof of the Marina Processing and Distribution Center in Los Angeles that was subsequently designated a Federal Energy Saver Showcase Facility. As a result of his activities, the Postal Service is poised to save millions of dollars in energy costs, significantly reduce the consumption of energy, and mitigate the impact of Postal Service operations on the environment. Exceptional Service Awards to Individuals James Paton Department of the Army Installation Management Agency, Europe Region James Paton is recognized for his leadership and vision in his position as Energy Manager of the Installation Management Agency, Europe Region, and for the personal contributions he has made to the Army’s Energy Program. James Paton During the period of FY 1999 to FY 2002, Mr. Paton’s efforts saved 80 billion Btu with a utility cost avoidance to the American tax payer of nearly $8 million. Mr. Paton was directly responsible for the awarding of the first Army energy savings performance contract and first task order for facilities in Europe. He also has been involved in the awarding of four more task orders, applying his energy project experience to ensure the use of valid savings measurement and verification procedures. Mr. Paton’s energy awareness seminars, energy savings performance contracts, and energy manager training programs have been so successful that several of the other Army IMA Regions are beginning to adopt his program.
Exceptional Service Awards to Individuals David Powers U.S. Department of Transportation Renton, Washington David Powers is recognized for his strong leadership and outstanding achievements in directing the Northwest Mountain Region’s Energy Compliance Program for the Federal Aviation Administration. Mr. Powers sponsored and funded in-house projects to retrofit efficient lighting and to upgrade HVAC systems to super high efficiency units. Mr. Powers supported the region’s first FAA delivery order on an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) in Auburn, Washington, and has David Powers since been the motivation behind an ESPC delivery order for additional FAA facilities in the Salt Lake City and Denver areas. Mr. Powers successfully implemented the Region’s first cost beneficial landscape project in Longmont, Colorado, and a second long term xeriscape project in Salt Lake City. He also is coordinating efforts between the FAA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to study the feasibility of fiber optics and very efficient light emitting diode lighting for runway and navigational lighting systems. Finally, to ensure that the various projects are not perceived as novelties, he developed and has begun implementing a regional training program for energy and water managers of FAA facilities, as well as an energy awareness campaign for the region. Overall, Mr. Powers helped to save more than $340,000 in energy costs in FAA’s Northwest Mountain Region. Louis R. Harris, Jr. Award Ed Anderson Florida Power and Light Company West Melbourne, Florida As Manager of Business Development for Federal Accounts with Florida Power and Light (FPL), Ed Anderson has worked closely with various federal customers to develop an impressive legacy of energy projects. His relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has been especially fruitful. KSC and FPL established a basic ordering agreement Ed Anderson for utility energy service contracting services and have completed two significant delivery orders to date. FPL provided turnkey services for these projects, including feasibility studies, design, construction, commissioning, and financing. Through his leadership, enthusiasm, and customer focus, Mr. Anderson continues to push the envelope of federal energy management. He has frequently obtained FPL funding to investigate the energy conservation potential of new technologies for KSC including thermal energy storage and wind energy. Mr. Anderson is an active member of the Federal Utility Partnership Working Group, is an integral member of the KSC Energy Working Group, and has actively supported many energy awareness events for the Space Center work force and the local community. 39
