With more than 350,000 energy utilizing buildings and 600,000 vehicles, the federal government is the nation’s largest energy consumer. To support the resiliency and cybersecurity mission of the federal government, which relies heavily on energy and water infrastructure, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) supports federal agencies (including Park Service, NASA, US Air Force, etc.) in establishing energy, water and resiliency management programs, promoting advanced technologies and practices, meeting agency-related goals and requirements, facilitating innovative financing and partnerships, and providing energy, water and resiliency leadership to the country through federal best practices. Through this work, FEMP is on the leading edge of helping our federal partners to manage energy and water usage and ensure more resilient infrastructure through implementation of energy and water efficient technologies and cost savings.
The mission of FEMP is to promote energy and water management programs and enhanced resiliency, cybersecurity, and cost savings to all federal agencies. The FEMP Fellows will be able to engage directly in this important mission in one of three topics (with the ability to participate in cross-cutting efforts as well):
Enhanced Water and Energy Resiliency and Security in Federal Facilities. Develop innovative approaches to help organizations achieve their critical missions through resilient energy and water systems. Energy and water resilience includes the ability for optimized operations to withstand, adapt, and recover from natural, accidental or terrorist disruptions as required. Focuses in energy and water resilience and security include:
Facility & Fleet Energy Savings through Energy Management. To support the mission of all of the US agencies, FEMP develops and promotes programs, policies and tools that promote a strong culture of energy and water stewardship leading to energy savings, enhanced resilience, and greater sustainability. To achieve this, FEMP coordinates across federal agencies and sites on identifying and promoting best practices, providing the training to develop energy champions, and developing and piloting approaches to save energy through energy management and fleet management. FEMP helps build the bridges that support energy and water savings, energy planning and reporting, and integrating energy into resiliency and mission continuity. Some specific activities include:
Expand Financing and Partnership Options to Promote Federal Efficiency. Given budget concerns across federal agencies, most agencies are reliant on external financing mechanisms to fulfill their missions and to support energy, water and resiliency improvements on their sites. Traditionally these financing options are based on established technologies that save money, which in turn pays for the financing instruments rather than considering emerging technologies. This topic will research how to expand financing from new financers and also strategies to promote emerging technology solutions through the following areas:
For all 3 Topics, the Fellow will have the opportunity to participate and learn to:
