Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade2

• Three fundamental goals of Strategic Energy Management (SEM):1. Credible Energy Savings2. Continuous Improvement of the Energy

Management System (EnMS)3. Persistence (i.e., sustained savings)

(Source: Paul Birkeland’s presentation just a few min ago!)

Why Strategic Energy Management?

Benefits of Strategic Energy Management:

• Improved profits• Reduced energy costs• Improved processes• Reduced emissions• Reduced risk to energy

price fluctuations

• SEM: A structured approach to energy management that integrates energy efficiency into daily organizational management practices, resulting in greater sustained savings than a project-by-project approach

• Hopefully you are convinced of the importance of SEM…

• So, how do I implement SEM at my organization? How do I get started??


Getting Started with SEM…












• The DOE eGuide to Energy Management (“eGuide”) is an online resource with a step-by-step approach and tools to help organizations implement a strategic approach to energy management at their facilities

• eGuide team: DOE Advanced Manufacturing Office, DOE Building Technologies Program, DOE Federal Energy Management Program, Georgia Tech Energy Management Team, Energetics, PPC

• Soft-launched a few months ago, now available at: www.energy.gov/eGuide or just google “DOE eGuide”

• eGuide audience:– Industrial end users

• Large manufacturing facilities• Small and medium enterprises (SMEs)

– Commercial end users• Small, medium, or large commercial buildings, facilities staff, schools, etc.

– Federal & State• Public facilities with or without energy managers,• DOD facilities

– Utilities & Program Administrators

3 Levels

Level 1: Provides a structured approach to energy management that any commercial, industrial, or government organization can implement, even organizations with little or no experience in energy management.

Level 2: Provides guidance resources and examples to help organizations understand the ISO 50001 energy management standard requirements and the actions to implement the standard.

Level 3: Builds upon Level 2, providing guidance on the additional requirements to achieve DOE Superior Energy Performance®

eGuide Structure: 3 Levels

Common across all 3 Levels


• Assigned to each core step are substeps that guide the user through the required tasks that need to be accomplished.

36 Substeps

The 5 core steps and 36 substeps are based on the ISO 50001 energy management standard

5 Core Steps


• Each substep is organized into four sections:

eGuide Structure: Substep Sections and Tasks

1. Overview: Provides an introduction to the substep2. How to do it: Contains guidance on the specific tasks that

you will need to complete in order to accomplish the substep. Each substep contain a fixed number of tasks. For example, Level 1, Step 2.2 (Identify Energy Sources and Uses) has

three associated tasks:

3. Resources & Examples: Provides links to resources including spreadsheets, guidance documents, templates to fill out, or weblinks to helpful websites with additional information. e.g., relevant ENERGY STAR resources are shown in each substep

4. Next Level: Takes you to the same substep in the next level
