2 The federal government must lead the way in reducing its energy consumption and related environmental impacts so that the rest of the country will follow our example. For this reason we often look to our leaders -- energy champions who are providing the innovation and dedication to overcome challenges in pursuing sound energy management. Each year the U.S. Department of Energy, along with the Federal Interagency Energy Policy Committee and the White House, sponsor prestigious award programs to honor individuals and teams of champions who are making significant contributions to the efficient use of energy and water resources in the federal government. The Energy Champions we honor this year represent the cream of the crop of federal facility managers. Through hard work, originality, and forward-thinking, they continue to develop the creative solutions we need to maintain the efficient operation of government services while increasing our nation’s energy independence. In fact, by actively identifying and implementing energy saving projects, the 2003 award winners have created energy cost savings of more than $62 million and 3.4 trillion Btu in one year. Our winners reflect the deep commitment that all federal employees have to the economy, environment, and energy security. They inspire us to increase our own efforts to save energy and water and to more aggressively pursue the use of renewable resources. We are grateful for their continued pursuit of excellence in facility management. We encourage you to follow their example, to set a new standard of performance, and continually look for new, creative solutions to our nation’s energy challenges.
FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION YEAR IN REVIEW 2003 Now more than ever before, the future of our economy, environment, and national security depend on our energy independence. Our government has a vital role to play to secure this goal for our country. In fact, in the National Energy Policy report, President Bush has asked the federal government to set the example for the rest of the country by using energy and water resources wisely and to conserve energy wherever feasible. The government is making considerable progress in this effort. Federal building-related energy use has dropped more than 25 percent per square foot since 1985, thanks largely to the work of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and its agency partners. FEMP works with agencies to reduce the cost and environmental impact of the federal government by advancing energy efficiency and water conservation, promoting the use of distributed and renewable energy, and improving utility management decisions at federal sites. The first section of this report outlines how FEMP’s four service areas – Technical Assistance, Financing, Policy, and Outreach – are helping agencies achieve greater energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the following areas: • New construction • Building retrofits • Equipment procurements • Operations and maintenance (O&M) • Utility management The remainder of the document honors the winners of the Presidential, Federal Energy and Water Management, and Showcase awards. These awards recognize individuals and groups who are developing successful energy technology solutions and applying them to the goal of a more secure and independent energy future for America. In addition to federal energy management, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has a host of other conservation and efficiency programs underway to strengthen America's energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality.
