Energy Savings and Sustainability Opportunities at US Army Corps of Engineers Facilities: A Guide to Identify, Prioritize, and Estimate Projects at Complexes That Have Not Conducted a Facility-Level Energy and Water Evaluation

Abstract

Executive Order (EO) 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, expanded on the energy re-duction and environmental performance requirements of Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management, by adding sustainability requirements and performance planning, and also by establishing goals for water efficiency improvement. EO 13514 requires agencies to reduce their energy intensity 3% per year through fiscal year 2020 (FY20) based on an FY03 baseline (for a total of 30%) and to reduce their water intensity 2% per year through FY20 based on an FY07 base-line (for a total of 26%). This document provides basic tools, methods, assistance, and information sources to non-energy facility man-agers in the US Corps of Engineers to help identify and develop energy and water conservation projects in the facilities for which they are responsible.
