EPA Facilities Overview
Laboratories make up ~1/3 of EPA’s inventory but use 2/3 of our energy.» Labs have 100% outside air, while offices have recirculated air.
» Labs use 3 to 6 times the energy of an office building.

EPA Facilities Overview
How EPA acquires its buildings affects how utilities are paid and how energy use concerns are addressed.
Types of EPA buildings:» EPA owned» EPA leased private buildings» GSA owned and assigned to EPA» GSA leased private buildings

EPA’s National Energy Program
No new dogs in the inventory» EPA works diligently on all new major space
procurements to make them energy efficient. It’s never too early to think about energy
efficiency» Type: Build to suit labs or offices, leased spaces,
new construction.» Stage: master planning, procurement strategy, A/E
selection, design, design review, controls review, energy modeling, construction, and commissioning all affect success.

How EPA Manages Energy
Commissioning, Re-Commissioning, Retro-Commissioning» Most cost-effective energy investment» Fort Meade cost $75-100K; saved
$150K annually in energy costs» Absolutely for new buildings» Re-commissioning prevents building
performance creep» Retro-commissioning commissions
buildings that were never commissioned (e.g. Chapel Hill and NHEERL North Carolina)

Mechanical Engineering Design and Construction—Conventional» These are long term projects, typically 2 to 4 years
Energy Savings Performance Contracts» Ann Arbor, Michigan» Ada, Oklahoma

How EPA Manages Energy
Green Power Procurement» Short term solution for our EO goals.» Right thing to do.» Green Power does cost a little more, generally.» We are not sophisticated enough yet to actively
use it to stabilize our energy bills.» Examples: Richmond, Golden, Chelmsford,
Cincinnati, Manchester, Houston, RTP (at 40%), Edison, Kansas City Science & Technology Center, Narragansett, Fort Meade.
