• CTS data was used to perform a high-level analysis of renewable energy potential in the federal sector
• Federal agencies reports key metrics to the CTS data warehouse for covered facilities (those constituting 75% of an agency’s energy use)
• In 2014 (last complete reporting year), this list included 8,226 federal sites

• LCOE calculation can be performed with resource, energy consumption and cost data available; limited site-specific info needed
• Output: Calculate levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and compare to prevailing utility energy prices
• Technologies: Solar PV, wind, solar hot water, solar ventilation preheat
LCOE Analysis
• Not all data required for LCOE calculation are available for all technologies (e.g., immature technology or additional site-specific data needed)
• Output: Overlay federal lands with resource datasets to identify sites with potential
• Technologies: Geothermal direct use heat and power
Resource Screening
• Not all data required for LCOE calculation is available in the CTS dataset
• Output: Developed screening methodology based on additional information known by site
• Technologies: Combined heat and power, biomass thermal

Resource Evaluation for Additional Technologies
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
Selection Criteria for Building-Specific Technologies
Initial Screening: Narrow down list of
potential sites
Existing infrastructure
(centralized systems are better) thermal load
(large consistent thermal load)
Existing Fuel Type Higher cost fuels
(diesel, propane) = better
Total energy load (larger load = better)
Regional energy costs (higher cost = better)
Subset of sites
Additional Screening: Can evaluate with
building specific data
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
• 1,324 cost-effective PV projects (PV LCOE lower than utility cost) • These projects add up to 1,876 MW (assuming size = average load) • These projects would produce 2,569,358 MWh/year
