U.S. Department of Energy						ORDER
	   Washington, D.C.				DOE O 430.2B


									   Approved: 2-27-08

SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL ENERGY, RENEWABLE ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION
	  MANAGEMENT
	  
1.	PURPOSE. To provide requirements and responsibilities for
	managing Department of Energy (DOE) energy, buildings, and
	fleets including:
	
	a.	To meet, lead or exceed the goals of all applicable
		laws, Executive Orders, and Federal Regulations with
		respect to continuous energy efficiency and water
		conservation improvements, increased and pervasive use
		of on-site, distributed renewable and clean energy
		resources, increased development/deployment (using
		private sector and other sources of funding) of
		innovative, utility-scale renewable and clean energy
		sources on DOE and other Federal land, increased number
		of sustainable buildings, optimized utilization of
		alternative fuel, hybrid, and plug-in electric
		vehicles, and the expansion and maintenance of an
		alternative fuel infrastructure at all DOE facilities,
		laboratories, and sites. Site refers to the DOE entity
		which conducts operational activities. In most cases
		this refers to the contractor(s) operating DOE owned or
		leased facilities at discrete locations across the
		United States. In the case of Government-Owned-
		Government Operated (GOGO) facilities (including Power
		Administrations), it refers to the DOE operating
		organization.
		
	b.	To accomplish on a Department-wide basis and through
		the maximum utilization of private sector, third-party
		financing, particularly from Energy Savings Performance
		Contracts (ESPC) and Utility Energy Services Contracts
		(UESC) applied in a life cycle cost effective manner,
		the following leadership goals:
		
		(1)	By FY 2015, reduce energy intensity by no less
			than 30 percent on average across the entire
			Department, relative to the Department's energy
			use in FY 2003. Energy intensity means energy
			consumption per gross square foot of building
			space, including industrial and laboratory
			facilities.
			
		(2)	By FY 2015, reduce potable water use by no less
			than 16 percent, relative to the Department's
			potable water use in FY 2007.
			
		(3)	The installation of advanced electric metering
			systems at all Department sites in accordance with
			the DOE metering plan for site monitoring of
			electric energy. Standard metering systems for
			steam, natural gas and water must also be
			installed and centrally monitored at all
			Department sites for steam, natural gas and water
			consumption. Advanced meters are defined as having
			the capability to measure and record interval data
			(at least hourly for electricity) and communicate
			the data to a remote location in a format that can
			be easily integrated into an advanced metering
			system.
			
		(4)	The installation of on-site renewable energy
			(electric and thermal) generation at all
			Department sites.
			
		(5)	The installation of sustainable building materials
			and practices throughout the Department's existing
			building assets and the attainment of the U.S.
			Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and
			Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for
			all new construction and major building
			renovations in excess of $5 million. All buildings
			falling below this threshold are required to
			comply with the Guiding Principles for Federal
			Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable
			Buildings (Guiding Principles).
			
		(6)	The meeting of the 15 percent goal in Executive
			Order 13423 dated January 24, 2007 (E.O. 13423)
			section 2(f)(ii) for incorporating the sustainable
			practices of the Guiding Principles for energy and
			water and related principles into the Department's
			capital asset building inventory.
			
		(7)	The utilization of standardized operations and
			maintenance (O&M) and measurement and verification
			(M&V) protocols coupled with real-time information
			collection and centralized reporting capabilities.
			
		(8)	The commissioning of new equipment or retrofit
			construction to be performed to ensure that
			systems are designed, installed, functionally
			tested and capable of being operated and
			maintained to perform in conformity with the
			project intent.
			
		(9)	The retro-commissioning (Retro-Cx) to review the
			condition of building systems to be performed and
			return equipment that has fallen out of desired
			operating parameters back into appropriate
			tolerances. Retro-Cx is the process of optimizing
			an existing building's operation and maintenance
			through the implementation of low-cost and no-cost
			improvements, and does not involve equipment
			replacement. Retro-Cx focuses on energy using
			equipment such as mechanical systems, controls,
			and sometimes lighting.
			
		(10)	The provision of access to alternative fuel
			infrastructure throughout the Department to ensure
			that all alternative fuel vehicles will operate on
			alternative fuels to the greatest extent
			practicable, and the replacement of DOE
			conventional-fuel vehicles with alternative fuel
			and hybrid technology vehicles, including plug-in
			hybrid electric vehicles as they become available.
			
		(11)	The increase in development, generation and
			consumption of electric and steam, natural gas
			from renewable energy sources and combined heat
			and power sources.
			
		(12)	The increase in the use of non-potable water
			sources such as reclaimed, recycled and grey water
			for appropriate applications.
			
		(13)	The expedited improvement in the quality,
			consistency and centralization of data collected
			and reported through the use of commercially
			available software.
			
	c.	To develop and commit to an Executable Plan for each
		Site that identifies their respective contributions
		toward meeting all of the Department wide goals stated
		above. An Executable Plan is defined to mean an action
		plan setting forth a binding obligation of the
		applicable Site or Departmental element that commits
		appropriate personnel resources, establishes a
		financing plan that prioritizes the use of life-cycle
		cost effective private sector financing and optimizes
		the application of appropriations and budgeted funds,
		and establishes a time line for execution coupled with
		specific performance measures and deliverables designed
		to achieve the listed requirements set forth in Section
		1(b) in FY 2008 and 2009. In the event that additional
		personnel, financing, or time is required, Executable
		Plans must address how the site will achieve compliance
		with applicable statutory, regulatory and executive
		order requirements, and deadlines while also applying
		good faith efforts and/or the site specific goals as
		agreed to by DOE to meet and exceed the additional
		requirements of this Order, as reasonably practicable.
		
2.	CANCELLATIONS. DOE O 430.2A, Departmental Energy and
	Utilities Management, dated 4-15-02. Cancellation of an
	Order does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any
	contractual obligation to comply with the Order. Canceled
	Orders that are incorporated by reference in a contract
	remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete
	the references to the requirements in the canceled Orders.
	
3.	APPLICABILITY.
	
	a.	All Departmental Elements.
		
		(1)	This Order applies to all Departmental elements
			that are responsible for the management and
			operation of the Department's facilities and
			activities, including elements of the National
			Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the
			Power Marketing Administrations. (Go to
			http://www.directives.doe.gov/pdfs/reftools/org-
			list.pdf for the current listing of Departmental
			elements.)
			
		(2)	The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security
			Administration (NNSA) will assure that NNSA
			employees and contractors comply with their
			respective responsibilities under this Order.
			Nothing in this Order will be construed to
			interfere with the NNSA Administrator's authority
			under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65
			to establish Administration-specific policies,
			unless disapproved by the Secretary.
			
	b.	DOE Contractors. The Contractor Requirements Document
		(CRD), Attachment 1, sets forth requirements of this
		Order that will apply to contractors responsible for
		the management and operation of the Department-owned
		facilities whose contracts include the CRD.
		
	c.	Exclusions. Services obtained by Power Marketing
		Administrations that are directly incident to their
		marketing or transmission programs. Naval Nuclear
		Propulsion facilities and activities under Executive
		Order 12344 as set forth in Public Law 106-65.
		
4.	REQUIREMENTS.
	
	a.	Reporting. The Department is required to submit an
		annual report to Congress in accordance with the
		National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) and a
		report to the Chairman of the Council on Environmental
		Quality (CEQ) in accordance with E.O. 13423,
		Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and
		Transportation Management.
		
		(1)	Section 543(c)(3) of NECPA as amended by the
			Energy Policy Act of 2005, states that the
			Secretary of Energy shall issue guidelines that
			establish criteria for exclusions of Federal
			buildings or collections of Federal buildings from
			the energy performance requirements for a fiscal
			year, within the statutory framework provided by
			law. The Department issued guidelines for
			excluding buildings from the Energy Performance
			Requirements of Section 543 of NECPA on January
			27, 2006. This guidance can be found at
			http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/exclusion_cr
			iteria.pdf.
			
		(2)	Any Site seeking to use the Excluded Building
			category must submit annual Exclusion Self-
			Certification in electronic spreadsheet format to
			the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)
			within the Office of Energy Efficiency and
			Renewable Energy, and to the site's Program
			Secretarial Officer, by November 15 of each year.
			
		(3)	An Excluded Building should, to the extent
			practicable, still be separately metered and the
			Site should also provide third party verification
			to FEMP that each Excluded Building has undergone
			a comprehensive energy audit and implemented all
			practicable, life cycle cost-effective energy
			conservation measures within the past four years.
			
		(4)	An exclusion applies to a single building and not
			the entire facility in which the building is
			located.
			
	b.	TEAM Initiative. Each Site must develop, maintain and
		annually update an Executable Plan that will define the
		respective Site's energy, sustainable buildings and
		fleet management program designed to promptly achieve
		the Department wide goals as specified below, the
		objectives set forth in paragraph 1 and to comply with
		E.O. 13423, the Instructions for Implementation of E.O.
		13423 dated March 28, 2007, as well as all Guidance
		Documents issued in accordance thereto and any
		modifications or amendments that may be issued from
		time to time. Site Executable Plans must be in place by
		December 31, 2008.
		
		Whenever life cycle cost-effective energy savings and
		other capital improvements can be achieved through the
		application of private sector financing through
		contracting vehicles such as ESPCs, such opportunities
		must receive priority over the application of any
		appropriated funding.
		
		Each energy, buildings and fleet management program
		must, to the greatest extent possible, ensure the
		achievement of the following leadership goals
		established by the Secretary's Transformational Energy
		Action Management (TEAM) Initiative:
		
		(1)	Achieve no less than a 30 percent energy intensity
			reduction across the agency relative to the
			baseline of the Department's energy use in FY
			2003, on or before FY 2015 in accordance with the
			Executable Plans in place for all Department
			sites.
			
		(2)	Maximize installation of on-site renewable energy
			projects at all Sites where technically and
			economically feasible to acquire at least 7.5
			percent of each site's annual electricity and
			thermal consumption from on-site renewable sources
			by FY 2010.
			
		(3)	Require that DOE's entire fleet operate any
			Alternative Fuel Vehicles exclusively on
			alternative fuels to the maximum extent
			practicable.
			
		(4)	Baseline, implement and monitor a Department-wide
			plan to reduce potable water consumption at least
			16 percent by FY 2015, relative to the baseline of
			the agency's potable water consumption in FY 2007.
			Sites must have Executable Plans in place to meet
			their water reduction goals no later than December
			31, 2008.
			
		(5)	Achieve a LEED Gold certification for all new
			construction, and major building renovations in
			excess of $5 million.
			
	c.	Energy and water management. The Department must use a
		variety of energy and water management strategies and
		tools to meet the goals of this Order. Strategies and
		tools include, but are not limited to, the following:
		
		(1)	Funding. The following instruments should be
			utilized to the maximum extent practicable to
			implement energy efficiency management projects,
			water management projects, and renewable energy
			projects with energy conservation measures (ECMs)
			having long- and short-term payback periods that
			can be incorporated into life-cycle cost effective
			contracts. To the extent appropriate, appropriated
			funds may be combined with ESPCs and UESCs to
			leverage government funding and optimize project
			scope and reductions in energy use and cost of
			facility operations. Renewable energy and high
			performance sustainable buildings measures must be
			considered in each ESPC or UESC proposal and be
			implemented where practical.
			
			(a)	ESPCs. ESPCs can facilitate and accelerate
				completion of large projects that can
				incorporate ECMs with long- and short-term
				payback periods, through life-cycle cost-
				effective performance contracts.
				
			(b)	UESCs. UESCs, where permissible, enable DOE
				facilities to contract for a broad array of
				energy management services (including project
				financing) on a sole source basis from the
				local serving electric, natural gas or water
				utility.
				
			(c)	Direct Appropriated Funding. Appropriations
				should continue to be requested in annual
				budget requests and prioritized for
				application in projects or measures that
				cannot be done through private sector
				financing or for application as cost share to
				ESPCs/UESCs where permitted by statute so
				that larger, more comprehensive projects can
				be undertaken. It is anticipated that private
				financing will fund major portions of this
				Order and therefore, sites must maximize the
				use of all available private financing
				options.
				
			(d)	Ratepayer Incentives. Incentives and rebates
				from public benefit funds or utilities should
				be utilized at every opportunity to enhance
				energy reduction. Such rebates must either be
				used to reduce initial project cost or
				returned to the budgeted account through
				which the project was funded and may be
				included in estimated project savings for
				financed projects.
				
			(e)	Retention of Funds. Verified savings from a
				facility's energy and water conservation
				projects must be reinvested, consistent with
				Federal regulations, to further the energy
				and water conservation and operations and
				maintenance efforts at that facility.
				
		(2)	On-site Renewable Energy. The Department will
			maximize the use of on-site renewable energy to
			meet Federal renewable energy requirements. Each
			site must install a renewable energy project or
			show that renewable energy is not feasible at the
			site because of economic or renewable resource
			barriers. If the Department manager responsible
			for a site believes that meeting the renewable
			energy requirement through on-site renewable
			generation is not feasible, the manager must
			submit a waiver request in accordance with Section
			5(a)(1) of this Order. A waiver request must
			include a documented evaluation of the site's
			potential for both distributed and utility-scale
			renewable energy development considering first
			measures that are life-cycle cost-effective, then
			measures that cost the same as fossil energy and
			could be used as a substitute, and then projects
			that are not competitive but that have attributes
			that could justify development, such as providing
			a more secure energy supply for the site or a
			hedge against electricity price uncertainty. Site
			analyses conducted in the course of implementing
			the TEAM initiative can serve as documentation for
			a waiver request and should be reflected in the
			Executable Plan. If on-site projects are
			inadequate to meet the renewable energy goal,
			sites are allowed to increase the use of
			electricity from renewable energy to meet the
			renewable energy goal by purchasing renewable
			energy credits (RECs) or electricity from
			renewable energy generators. All sites will
			include provisions for such renewable energy
			purchases as a component in all future DOE
			competitive solicitations for electricity.
			
		(3)	Distributed Generation. Where life-cycle cost
			effective, the Department must implement
			distributed generation systems in new construction
			or retrofit projects, including renewable systems
			such as solar electric, solar lighting, geo (or
			ground coupled) thermal, small wind turbines, as
			well as other generation systems such as fuel
			cell, cogeneration, or highly efficient
			alternatives. In addition, the Department must use
			distributed generation systems when a substantial
			contribution is made toward enhancing energy
			reliability or security. To the extent authorized
			by Federal and State law, excess renewable power
			generated by a site can be sold to other power
			users. Distributed generation projects using
			private financing should be life cycle cost-
			effective, but in cases where they provide other
			benefits they may be combined with other energy
			conservation measures in larger energy
			conservation projects that are cost effective in
			the aggregate.
			
		(4)	Metering. To the maximum extent practicable, all
			Sites must install metering devices that measure
			consumption of potable water, electricity, steam,
			and natural gas in each building and other
			facilities and grounds. A Departmental centralized
			tracking system for collecting advanced metering
			data for electrical energy will be developed
			following a feasibility study. Once developed,
			data from all Departmental advanced metering
			devices must be collected for incorporation into
			this centralized tracking system. Access to this
			system will be made available to facility
			personnel and senior agency official responsible
			for compliance with this Order. All facilities
			must incorporate the inclusion of metering
			requirements in all ESPCs and UESCs, as
			appropriate.
			
		(5)	Auditing. All DOE elements must ensure that by
			December 31, 2008, all major site facilities have
			been audited over the last five years. After
			December 31, 2008, facilities should continue to
			be audited every four years. This audit
			requirement can be met by audits done in the last
			five years in conjunction with the site's energy
			management program or under ESPC or UESC projects.
			Facilities/sites that meet current exemption
			guidelines will not have to comply with this
			requirement.
			
		(6)	New Buildings. The Department must meet the
			requirements of 10 CFR Part 433 which indicate
			Federal commercial buildings be designed to
			achieve energy saving of at least 30 percent below
			ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, if cost-
			effective. Moreover, the Department must meet or
			exceed ENERGY STARr Building criteria, and score
			the energy performance of buildings using the
			ENERGY STARr Portfolio Manager rating tool as part
			of comprehensive facility audits. When evaluating
			the ENERGY STARr target for a new building, apply
			the more stringent standard set forth in the Table
			of Target Energy Performance Results and the
			values required under 10 CFR Part 433 or 435 (as
			applicable). A Table of Target Energy Performance
			Results by building type and climate required for
			this evaluation may be found at
			http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/highperforman
			ce/pdfs/energy_use_intensity_targets.pdf.
			
		(7)	Labs21. The Department must use programs such as
			the Labs21 partnership to encourage the
			development of sustainable, high performance, and
			low-energy laboratories.
			
		(8)	Energy Purchasing. The Department must purchase,
			to the maximum extent possible, electricity,
			steam, and natural gas from sources that use high
			efficiency and low-carbon generating technologies
			in order to reduce greenhouse gas intensity.
			
		(9)	Water Efficient Products. Where available, the
			Department must purchase WaterSenseSM labeled
			products and other water efficient products and
			choose irrigation contractors who are certified
			through a WaterSenseSM labeled program.
			
		(10)	Demand Response. Each DOE facility must examine
			the cost effectiveness of participation in local
			demand response programs. To the extent the
			facility receives energy cost savings or payments
			they shall be reinvested in accordance with
			paragraph 4.c.(1).(e) above.
			
		(11)	Data Centers. Reduce the energy consumption of
			data center and server operations by specifying
			the acquisition of energy efficient electronic
			equipment for data centers, operating the
			equipment to improve load management and server
			innovation, and configuring the cooling operations
			to maximize energy efficiency opportunities.
			
	d.	Sustainable Design/High Performance Buildings. All new
		buildings will incorporate the Guiding Principles of
		E.O. 13423 to the extent practical and life cycle cost
		effective. As of October 1, 2008, all new buildings and
		major buildings renovations at Critical Decision One
		(CD-1) or lower with a value exceeding $5 million, must
		implement the Guiding Principles of the Executive Order
		and attain U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED
		Gold certification. All new construction or major
		renovation projects must incorporate renewable energy
		equipment into building design to the maximum extent
		feasible. In the event that a project manager has
		compelling reasons for attaining a certification other
		than LEED Gold or believes that a certification can be
		attained from a nationally recognized certification
		program that exceed LEED Gold requirements, such
		project manager may seek to obtain a waiver from the
		LEED Gold requirement from the Acquisition Executive
		made in consultation with the Senior Agency Official
		(SAO) . The process and procedures required for
		obtaining such waiver shall be set forth by a guidance
		document issued by the Department's intra-agency High
		Performance Sustainable Buildings working group. In no
		case will a waiver permit any construction or
		renovation project that does not meet or exceed
		statutory goals, including the achievement of credits
		to exceed the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard by at least 30
		percent, and address each of the five elements of the
		Guiding Principles. Progress in meeting this
		requirement will be tracked by the cognizant
		Acquisition Executive.
		
		(1)	Existing buildings. All programs that own or lease
			real property must develop and implement a plan,
			as part of the Executable Plan, to ensure that 15
			percent of their enduring buildings are compliant
			with the guiding principles of Executive Order
			13423. Implementation of the plan must be
			documented within the programs' Ten Year Site
			Plans and through the appropriate LEED building
			credits. Progress in meeting this requirement will
			be tracked within the Department's Facilities
			Information Management System.
			
		(2)	High performance building plans. On August 15 of
			each year, the Department must submit a plan to
			the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the
			Office of the Federal Environmental Executive
			(OFEE) that addresses how the Department will
			ensure that (1) all new construction and
			renovation projects implement design,
			construction, and maintenance and operation
			practices in support of the sustainable
			design/high-performance buildings goals of E.O.
			13423 and statutory requirements and (2) existing
			facilities' maintenance and operation practices in
			support of the goals of E.O. 13423. Such plans
			must also align with E.O. 13327 and the
			Department's real property asset management plan.
			At a minimum, the plans must address the
			following:
			
			(a)	Employment of integrated design principles,
				optimization of energy efficiency and use of
				renewable energy, protection and conservation
				of water, enhancement of indoor environmental
				quality, and reduction of environmental
				impacts of materials in accordance with the
				Guiding Principles and the other building and
				construction-related E.O. 13423 goals and
				instructions.
				
			(b)	Procurement of ENERGY STAR-qualified or
				FEMP-designated products when purchasing
				energy consuming products. This includes
				incorporation into the specifications for
				all procurements involving energy consuming
				products and systems, including guide
				specifications, project specifications, and
				construction, renovation, and services
				contracts that include provision of energy
				consuming products and systems, and into
				the factors for the evaluation of offers
				received for the procurement, criteria for
				energy efficiency that are consistent with
				the criteria used for rating ENERGY STAR-
				qualified products and FEMP-designated
				products.
				
			(c)	An assessment of policy, criteria,
				contracts, and other areas, identifying
				gaps in the Department's sustainable
				building program.
				
			(d)	Key action items, including major
				milestones and responsible parties.
				
		(3)	Database. The Department will maintain a
			Departmental High Performance Federal Buildings
			Database designed to document the planning,
			execution and maintenance of the requirements
			set forth in Section d. All such information
			must be available on the web. At least one
			project per year must be showcased in the
			existing High Performance Federal Buildings
			Database on the web at
			http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp/highperformance/
			index.cfm.
			
		(4)	Leased facilities. Starting in FY 2008, all
			procurement specifications and selection
			criteria for acquiring new leased space,
			including build-to-suit lease solicitations are
			to include a preference for buildings certified
			as LEED Gold. When entering into renegotiation
			or extension of existing leases, the Department
			must include lease provisions that support the
			Guiding Principles.
			
		(5)	DOE Headquarters. The Forrestal and Germantown
			headquarters facilities are hereby designated as
			Department "showcase facilities" and are
			required to prominently feature, and
			periodically upgrade, the application and use of
			state-of-the-art energy and water efficiency,
			high performance sustainable buildings, and
			renewable energy technologies.
			
		(6)	Petroleum based fuels. The use of petroleum-
			based fuels will be minimized in DOE-owned
			buildings and facilities by switching to a less
			greenhouse gas intensive, non-petroleum-based
			energy source such as natural gas or renewable
			energy source as measured at the end source. For
			buildings and facilities that use petroleum-
			based fuel systems, provide dual-fuel capability
			where life cycle cost-effective and practicable.
			
	e.	Transportation/Fleet Management.
		
		(1)	To achieve the petroleum reduction goal of Section
			2(g) of E.O. 13423, the Department must:
			
			(a)	Reduce vehicle miles traveled through such
				methods as trip consolidation practices,
				increased use of videoconferencing and web
				conferencing, and the use of mass
				transportation/agency shuttles.
				
			(b)	Increase overall fleet fuel economy through
				acquisition of higher fuel economy vehicles
				(e.g., smaller sized vehicles, hybrid-
				electric vehicles, and other advanced
				technology vehicles).
				
			(c)	"Right-size" its fleet, employing the most
				fuel-efficient vehicle for the required task
				and having the appropriate number of vehicles
				relative to need.
				
			(d)	Employ efficiency strategies that reduce
				energy such as low rolling resistant tire or
				synthetic oil which allow for extended
				replacement frequencies, and other
				technologies.
				
			(e)	Consider the use of plug-in hybrid electric
				vehicles (PHEVs) and the use of electric
				drive vehicles to the extent feasible and in
				accordance with applicable statutes,
				regulations, executive orders and
				Departmental guidance.
				
		(2)	To achieve the goals of the Secretary's TEAM
			Initiative, and ensure that the Department remains
			a leader in sustainable transportation management,
			each Departmental Element must:
			
			(a)	By the end of December 31, 2008, ensure that
				each of its sites with alternative-fuel and
				diesel vehicles has adopted as part of its
				Executable Plan the requirement that all
				alternative fuel vehicles operate on
				alternative fuel to the maximum extent
				possible. The procedure for each site to
				arrange alternative fuel access should be
				executed as follows:
				
				1	Potential existing alternative fuel
					infrastructure must be investigated,
					using, among other tools, DOE's
					Alternative Fueling Station Locator.
					
				2	Where no infrastructure currently exists
					within five miles, DOE and NNSA fleet
					management and the site shall
					investigate possible solutions through
					private-sector alternative fuel
					distributors, including existing fuel
					vendors and stations. Where possible,
					collaborations should be sought with
					nearby Federal, State or local
					governments to aggregate demand for
					alternative fuel. Sites must work with
					DOE's Clean Cities program to coordinate
					these teaming arrangements.
					
				3	When these options have been
					exhausted, DOE sites must initiate a
					procurement process for the
					installation of on-site alternative
					fueling infrastructure including fuel
					pumps. On-site fueling should be
					pursued when cost-effective.
					Headquarters and NNSA fleet
					management should work with sites to
					develop proposals and seek private
					fuel vendors able to meet each site's
					specific need.
					
			(b)	Each Departmental element must arrange for
				the procurement of alternative-fuel vehicles
				to replace the existing conventional-fuel
				fleet to the extent practicable, with the
				goal of replacing the existing fleet with
				alternative fuel and/or hybrid technology
				vehicles by the end of FY 2010.
				
			(c)	For the purposes of the TEAM Initiative,
				"alternative fuel vehicles" are defined
				according to Section 301 of EPAct 1992.
				
	f.	Data and Tracking.
		
		(1)	Annual reports. The Department must provide
			compliance data to FEMP no later than December 1
			of each year or as otherwise required by FEMP. The
			Department must implement internal policies that
			will ensure accurate tracking of the vehicle
			acquisitions and inventory, mileage, fuel
			consumption by fuel type, and other relevant data.
			FEMP must specify the reporting format and
			collection methods for data to be submitted. FEMP
			will continually update and maintain FAST to
			reflect the goals of the TEAM Initiative and E.O.
			13423.
			
		(2)	Monthly reports. Upon the monthly receipt from
			GSA of the Department's vehicle tag numbers,
			fuel use data (by fuel type for all petroleum
			and alternative fuels) for covered GSA-leased
			vehicles, the Department must track these data
			to ensure its accuracy and also track comparable
			data for all covered Department-owned and
			commercially leased vehicles.
			
		(3)	Credits. Alternative fuel vehicle (AFV)

regardless of the performer of the work and (2) flowing down the
requirements of the CRD of the Order to subcontracts to the
extent necessary to ensure contractors' compliance with the
requirements. The following items are required of the contractor
organization using a graded approach:

1.	ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
	
	a.	The energy management program must be performance
		oriented and demonstrate continuous life cycle cost-
		effective improvements to increase the energy
		efficiency and effective management of energy, water
		and vehicle fleets within DOE's buildings,
		laboratories, and production facilities while
		increasing the use of clean energy sources.
		
	b.	The contractor shall assist the Department through
		direct participation and other support in achieving the
		Department's energy efficiency goals and objectives in
		electricity, water, and thermal consumption,
		conservation, and savings, including goals and
		objectives contained in E.O.13423. The contractor shall
		maintain and update, as appropriate, its Ten Year Site
		Plan/Executable Plan (as required elsewhere in the
		contract) to include detailed energy management
		programs and milestones for achieving site-specific
		energy efficiency goals and objectives. With respect to
		this paragraph, the energy management program shall
		consider all potential sources of funds, in the
		following order: 1) the maximum use of private sector,
		third-party financing applied on a life-cycle cost
		effective basis, particularly from Energy Savings
		Performance Contracts and Utility Energy Services
		Contracts awarded by the Department; and 2) only after
		third-party financing options are evaluated, in the
		event that energy efficiency and water conservation
		improvements cannot be effectively incorporated into a
		private sector financing arrangement that is in the
		best interests of the Government, then Department
		funding and funding from overhead accounts can be
		utilized.
		
	c.	The energy management program must be sufficiently
		staffed with trained energy managers to accomplish life
		cycle cost-effective energy efficiency improvements at
		the site and report progress toward statutory,
		regulatory and departmental requirements. The site will
		dedicate all or a substantial portion of the energy or
		facility managers time to the effective implementation
		of energy, water and fleet management plans.
		
	d.	The energy management program as described in the
		Executable Plan must be integrated with Ten Year Site
		Planning, operations, and acquisition systems.
		Management systems must be in place to report the
		site's energy consumption and cost for fuels by fuel
		type and energy category through the Department's data
		energy management system. Such systems must be updated
		to DOE standards, which will include the real time
		collection of such data. The data energy management
		system is a Web-based data collection and reporting
		system. Management systems must be in place to document
		and measure progress toward the Department's energy
		efficiency leadership goals and requirements and to
		confirm that renewable energy infrastructure
		development, energy and utilities management, water
		conservation, and fleet performance expectations are
		being met or exceeded.
		
	e.	The energy management program must be integrated with
		the site's Integrated Safety Management System to
		optimize the efficient use of energy and water, while
		minimizing waste and protecting the safety and health
		of workers.
		
2.	ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
	
	a.	Each contractor must develop, maintain, and annually
		update their energy, buildings, and fleet management
		programs as defined in their Executable Plan in order
		to assist DOE in meeting its obligations under
		E.O.13423 dated January 24, 2007, the Instructions for
		Implementation of such Executive Order dated March 28,
		2007, as well as all Guidance Documents issued in
		accordance thereto and any modifications or amendments
		that may be issued from time to time. This program must
		have a special focus on the Department's
		Transformational Energy Action Management (TEAM)
		objectives and an Executable Plan in place by 12/31/08.
		
	b.	The energy management plan must contain an emergency
		conservation component to mitigate the effects of a
		sudden disruption in the supply of fuel oil, natural
		gas, electricity, and other critical energy supplies.
		
3.	ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS). Each DOE contractor
	must develop and implement an environmental management
	system that includes measurable environmental, energy, and
	transportation objectives and targets that are reviewed
	annually, are updated when appropriate, and contribute to
	achieving the sustainable practice goals established in this
	CRD. [See the latest version of DOE Order 450.1.]
	
4.	REPORTING. Each contractor is required to submit an annual
	report to the DOE Program/Site Office in order to assist DOE
	in meeting its obligations under the National Energy
	Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) and in accordance with E.O.
	13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and
	Transportation Management.
	
	a.	Section 543 (c)(3) of NECPA as amended by the Energy
		Policy Act of 2005, states that the Secretary of Energy
		shall issue guidelines that establish criteria for
		exclusions of any Federal building or collection of
		Federal buildings, within the statutory framework
		provided by law. The Department issued guidelines for
		excluding buildings from the Energy Performance
		Requirements of Section 543 of NECPA on January 27,
		2006. This guidance can be found at
		http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/exclusion_criteri
		a.pdf.
		
	b.	Any contractor seeking to use the Excluded Building
		category must submit annual Exclusion Self-
		Certification in electronic spreadsheet format to the
		DOE Program/Site Office by November 1 of each year.
		
	c.	An Excluded Building should, to the extent practicable,
		still be separately metered and the contractor should
		also provide third party verification to the Federal
		Energy Management Program (FEMP) that each Excluded
		Building has undergone a comprehensive energy audit and
		implemented all practicable, life cycle cost-effective
		energy conservation measures within the past four
		years.
		
	d.	An exclusion applies to a single building and not the
		entire facility in which the building is located.
		
5.	TEAM INITIATIVE. Each contractor must develop, maintain, and
	annually update an Executable Plan that will define the
	respective Site's energy, sustainable buildings and fleet
	management program designed to assist DOE in meeting its
	obligations under E.O.13423 dated January 24, 2007, the
	Instructions for Implementation of E.O. 13423 dated March
	28, 2007, as well as all Guidance Documents issued in
	accordance thereto and any modifications or amendments that
	may be issued from time to time.
	
	Whenever life cycle cost-effective, energy savings and other
	capital improvements can be achieved through the application
	of private sector financing through contracting vehicles
	such as Energy Services Performance Contracts (ESPC), such
	opportunities must receive priority over the application of
	any appropriated funding.
	
	Each energy, buildings, and fleet management program must,
	to the greatest extent possible, develop an Executable Plan
	that will ensure the achievement of the following leadership
	goals established by the Secretary's Transformational Energy
	Action Management (TEAM) Initiative:
	
	a.	By 2015, achieve no less than a 30 percent energy
		intensity reduction across the contractor's
		facility/site in accordance with Executable Plans in
		place for all facilities/sites no later than six months
		after the addition of this CRD to the contract,
		relative to the baseline of the contractor's energy use
		in FY 2003.
		
	b.	Maximize installation of on-site renewable energy
		projects at the contractor's facility/site where
		technically and economically feasible to acquire at
		least 7.5 percent of each site's annual electricity and
		thermal consumption from on-site renewable sources by
		in FY 2010.
		
	c.	Require that the contractor's entire fleet operate any
		Alternative Fuel Vehicles exclusively on alternative
		fuels to the maximum extent practicable.
		
	d.	Reduce potable water consumption at least 16 percent
		relative to the baseline of the facility/site's potable
		water consumption in FY 2007. Contractor
		facilities/sites must meet the water reduction goal or
		have Executable Plans in place to meet this goal no
		later than December 31, 2008.
		
	e.	Achieve the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in
		Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold
		certification for all new construction and major
		building renovations in excess of $5 million. All
		buildings falling below this threshold are required to
		comply with the Guiding Principles for Federal
		Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable
		Buildings (Guiding Principles).
		
6.	ENERGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT. Each contractor must use a
	variety of energy and water management strategies and tools
	to meet the goals of this CRD. Strategies and tools include,
	but are not limited to, the following:
	
	a.	Funding. The following instruments should be utilized
		to the maximum extent practicable to implement energy
		efficiency management projects, water management
		projects, and renewable energy projects with energy
		conservation measures (ECMs) having long- and short-
		term payback periods that can be incorporated into life-
		cycle cost effective contracts. To the extent
		appropriate, appropriated funds may be combined with
		Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and
		Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs) to leverage
		government funding and optimize project scope and
		reductions in energy use and cost of facility
		operations. Renewable energy and high performance
		sustainable buildings measures must be considered in
		each ESPC or UESC proposal and be implemented where
		practical.
		
		(1)	ESPCs. ESPCs can accomplish and accelerate
			completion of large projects that can incorporate
			ECMs with long- and short-term payback periods,
			through life-cycle cost-effective performance
			contracts.
			
		(2)	UESCs. UESCs, where permissible, enable DOE
			facilities to contract for a broad array of energy
			management services (including project financing)
			from the local serving electric, natural gas or
			water utility.
		(3)	Direct Appropriated Funding. Appropriations should
			continue to be requested in annual budget requests
			and prioritized for application in projects or
			measures that cannot be done through private
			sector financing or for application as cost share
			to ESPCs/UESCs where permitted by statute so that
			larger, more comprehensive projects can be
			undertaken. Recommendations from the site/facility
			contractor should be made with the understanding
			private financing will fund major portions of this
			Order and therefore, facilities/sites must
			maximize the use of all available private
			financing options.
		(4)	Ratepayer Incentives. Incentives and rebates from
			public benefit funds or utilities should be
			utilized at every opportunity to enhance energy
			reduction. Such rebates must either be used to
			reduce initial project cost or returned to the
			budgeted account through which the project was
			funded and may be included in estimated project
			savings for financed projects.
			
		(5)	Retention of Funds. Verified savings from a
			facility's energy and water conservation projects
			must be reinvested, consistent with Federal
			regulations, to further the energy and water
			conservation and operations and maintenance
			efforts at that facility.
			
	b.	On-site Renewable Energy. The contractor will maximize
		the use of on-site renewable energy to meet DOE
		renewable energy requirements. Each facility/site must
		install a renewable energy project or show that
		renewable energy is not feasible at the site because of
		economic or renewable resource barriers. If meeting the
		renewable energy requirement through on-site renewable
		generation is not feasible, the contractor must request
		a waiver. A waiver request must include a documented
		evaluation of the site's potential for both distributed
		and utility-scale renewable energy development
		considering first measures that are life-cycle cost-
		effective, then measures that cost the same as fossil
		energy and could be used as a substitute, and then
		projects that are not competitive but that have
		attributes that could justify development, such as
		providing a more secure energy supply for the site or a
		hedge against electricity price uncertainty. Site
		analyses conducted in the course of implementing the
		TEAM initiative can serve as documentation for a waiver
		request and should be reflected in the Executable Plan.
		If on-site projects are inadequate to meet the
		renewable energy goal, sites are allowed to increase
		the use of electricity from renewable energy to meet
		the renewable energy goal by purchasing renewable
		energy credits (RECs) or electricity from renewable
		energy generators. All facilities/sites will include
		provisions for renewable energy purchases as a
		component in all future DOE competitive solicitations
		for electricity.
		
	c.	Distributed Generation. Where life-cycle cost
		effective, the contractor must implement distributed
		generation systems in new construction or retrofit
		projects, including renewable systems such as solar
		electric, solar lighting, geo (or ground coupled)
		thermal, small wind turbines, as well as other
		generation systems such as fuel cell, cogeneration, or
		highly efficient alternatives. In addition, the
		contractor must use distributed generation systems when
		a substantial contribution is made toward enhancing
		energy reliability or security. To the extent
		authorized by Federal and State law, excess renewable
		power generated by a site can be sold to other power
		users. Distributed generation projects should be life
		cycle cost effective, but in cases where they provide
		other benefits they may be combined with other energy
		conservation measures in larger energy conservation
		projects that are cost effective in the aggregate.
		
	d.	Metering. To the maximum extent practicable, the
		contractor must install metering for devices that
		measure consumption of potable water, electricity,
		steam, and natural gas in each building and other
		facilities and grounds. A Departmental centralized
		tracking system for collecting advanced metering data
		for electrical energy will be developed following a
		feasibility study. Once developed, data from all
		Departmental advanced metering devices must be
		collected for incorporation into this centralized
		tracking system. Access to this system will be made
		available to facility/site personnel. All
		facilities/sites must incorporate the inclusion of
		metering requirements in all ESPCs and UESCs, as
		appropriate.
		
	e.	Auditing. By six months after the addition of this CRD
		to the contract, all major site facilities should have
		been audited over the last five years. After December
		31, 2008, facilities should continue to be audited
		every four years. This audit requirement can be met by
		audits done in the last five years in conjunction with
		the site's energy management program or under ESPC or
		UESC projects. Facilities/sites that meet current
		exemption guidelines will not have to comply with this
		requirement.
		
	f.	New Buildings. For applicable facilities/sites, the
		contractor must meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part
		433. Requirements of 10 CFR Part 433 indicate Federal
		commercial buildings be designed to achieve energy
		savings of at least 30 percent below ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA
		Standard 90.1-2004, if cost-effective. Moreover, the
		contractor must meet or exceed ENERGY STARr Building
		criteria, and score the energy performance of buildings
		using the ENERGY STARr Portfolio Manager rating tool as
		part of comprehensive facility audits. When evaluating
		the ENERGY STARr target for a new building, apply the
		more stringent standard set forth in the Table of
		Target Energy Performance Results and the values
		required under 10 CFR Part 433 or 435 (as applicable).
		A Table of Target Energy Performance Results by
		building type and climate required for this evaluation
		may be found at
		http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/highperformance/pd
		fs/energy_use_intensity_targets.pdf.
		
	g.	Labs21. For applicable facilities/sites, the contractor
		must use programs such as the Labs21 partnership to
		encourage the development of sustainable, high
		performance, and low-energy laboratories.
		
	h.	Energy Purchasing. The contractor must purchase, to the
		maximum extent possible, electricity, steam, and
		natural gas from sources that use high efficiency and
		low-carbon generating technologies in order to reduce
		greenhouse gas intensity.
		
	i.	Water Efficient Products. Where available, the
		contractor must purchase WaterSenseSM labeled products
		and other water efficient products and choose
		irrigation contractors who are certified through a
		WaterSenseSM labeled program.
		
	j.	Demand Response. Each contractor must examine the cost
		effectiveness of participation in local demand response
		programs. To the extent the contractor receives energy
		cost savings or payments, they shall be reinvested to
		further the energy and water conservation efforts at
		that facility/site in accordance with Paragraph
		6.a.(5).
		
	k.	Data Centers. Reduce the energy consumption of data
		center and server operations by specifying the
		acquisition of energy efficient electronic equipment
		for data centers, operating the equipment to improve
		load management and server innovation, and configuring
		the cooling operations to maximize energy efficiency
		opportunities.
		
7.	SUSTAINABLE DESIGN/HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS.
	
	a.	New construction and major building renovations in
		excess of $5 million. All new buildings will
		incorporate the Guiding Principles of Executive Order
		13423 to the extent practical and life cycle cost
		effective. As of October 1, 2008, all new buildings and
		major buildings renovations at Critical Decision One
		(CD-1) or lower with a value exceeding $5 million, must
		implement the Guiding Principles of the Executive Order
		and attain LEED Gold certification. All new
		construction or major renovation projects must
		incorporate renewable energy equipment into building
		design to the maximum extent feasible. In the event
		that a project manager has compelling reasons for
		attaining a certification other than LEED Gold or
		believes that a certification can be attained from a
		nationally recognized certification program that exceed
		LEED Gold requirements, such project manager may seek
		to obtain a waiver from the LEED Gold requirement in
		consultation with the DOE Program/Site Office. The
		process and procedures required for obtaining such
		waiver shall be set forth by a guidance document issued
		by the Department's intra-agency High Performance
		Sustainable Buildings working group. In no case will a
		waiver permit any construction or renovation project
		that does not meet or exceed statutory goals, including
		the achievement of credits to exceed the ASHRAE 90.1-
		2004 standard by at least 30 percent, and address each
		of the five elements of the Guiding Principles.
		Progress in meeting this requirement will be tracked by
		the cognizant Departmental Field Element office.
		
	b.	Existing buildings. All contractors that own or lease
		real property must develop and implement a plan, as
		part of the Executable Plan, to ensure that 15 percent
		of their enduring buildings are compliant with the
		guiding principles of Executive Order 13423.
		Implementation of the plan must be documented within
		the programs' Ten Year Site Plans and through the
		appropriate LEED building credits. Progress in meeting
		this requirement will be tracked within the
		Department's Facilities Information Management System.
		
	c.	High performance building plans. On August 1 of each
		year, the contractor must submit a plan to their
		respective and appropriate Department Field Element
		Office that addresses how the contractor will ensure
		that (1) all new construction and renovation projects
		implement design, construction, and maintenance and
		operation practices in support of the sustainable
		design/high-performance buildings goals of E.O. 13423
		and statutory requirements and (2) existing facilities'
		maintenance and operation practices in support of the
		goals of E.O. 13423. Such plans must also align with
		E.O. 13327 and the Department's real property asset
		management plan. At a minimum, the plans must address
		the following:
		
		(1)	Employment of integrated design principles,
			optimization of energy efficiency and use of
			renewable energy, protection and conservation of
			water, enhancement of indoor environmental
			quality, and reduction of environmental impacts of
			materials in accordance with the Guiding
			Principles and the other building and construction-
			related E.O. 13423 goals and instructions.
			
		(2)	Procurement of ENERGY STARr-qualified or FEMP-
			designated products when purchasing energy
			consuming products. This includes incorporation
			into the specifications for all procurements
			involving energy consuming products and systems,
			including guide specifications, project
			specifications, and construction, renovation, and
			services contracts that include provision of
			energy consuming products and systems, and into
			the factors for the evaluation of proposals
			received for the procurement, criteria for energy
			efficiency that are consistent with the criteria
			used for rating ENERGY STARr-qualified products
			and FEMP-designated products.
			
		(3)	An assessment of policy, criteria, contracts, and
			other areas, identifying gaps in the
			facility/site's sustainable building program.
			
		(4)	Key action items, including major milestones and
			responsible parties.
			
	d.	Database. The contractor is responsible for collecting
		data and providing the information for inputting into
		the web-based Departmental High Performance Federal
		Buildings Database, designed to document the planning,
		execution and maintenance of the requirements set forth
		in this Section.
		
	e.	Leased facilities. Starting in FY 2008, all procurement
		specifications and selection criteria for acquiring new
		leased space, including build-to-suit lease
		solicitations are to include a preference for buildings
		certified LEED Gold. When entering into renegotiation
		or extension of existing leases, the contractor must
		include lease provisions that support the Guiding
		Principles.
		
	f.	Petroleum-based fuels. Contractors must make all
		reasonable efforts to minimize the use of petroleum-
		based fuels in DOE-owned buildings and facilities by
		switching to a less greenhouse gas intensive, non-
		petroleum-based energy source such as natural gas or
		renewable energy source, as measured at the end source.
		For buildings and facilities that use petroleum-based
		fuel systems, contractors must provide dual-fuel
		capability where life cycle cost-effective and
		practicable.
		
8.	TRANSPORTATION/FLEET MANAGEMENT.
	
	a.	To achieve the petroleum reduction goal of Section 2(g)
		of E.O. 13423, the contractor must:
		
		(1)	Reduce vehicle miles traveled through such methods
			as trip consolidation practices, increased use of
			videoconferencing and web conferencing, and the
			use of mass transportation/agency shuttles.
		(2)	Increase overall fleet fuel economy through
			acquisition of higher fuel economy vehicles (e.g.,
			smaller sized vehicles, hybrid-electric vehicles,
			and other advanced technology vehicles).
		(3)	"Right-size" its fleet, employing the most fuel-
			efficient vehicle for the required task and having
			the appropriate number of vehicles relative to
			need.
		(4)	Employ efficiency strategies that reduce energy
			such as low rolling resistant tire, synthetic oil
			which allows for extended replacement frequencies,
			and other technologies.
		(5)	Consider the use of plug-in hybrid electric
			vehicles (PHEVs) and the use of electric drive
			vehicles to the extent feasible and in accordance
			with applicable statutes, regulations, executive
			orders and Departmental guidance.
			
	b.	To achieve the goals of the Secretary's TEAM
		Initiative, and ensure that the Department remains a
		leader in sustainable transportation management, each
		contractor must:
		
		(1)	By six months after the addition of this CRD to
			the contract, ensure that each facility/site with
			alternative fuel and diesel vehicles has adopted
			as part of its Executable Plan the requirement
			that all alternative fuel vehicles operate on
			alternative fuel to the maximum extent possible.
			The procedure for each facility/site to arrange
			alternative fuel access should be executed as
			follows:
			
			(a)	Potential existing alternative fuel
				infrastructure must be investigated, using,
				among other tools, DOE's Alternative Fueling
				Station Locator.
				
			(b)	Where no infrastructure currently exists
				within five miles, the contractor shall
				investigate possible solutions through
				private-sector alternative fuel distributors,
				including existing fuel vendors and stations.
				Where possible, collaborative efforts should
				be sought with nearby Federal, State or local
				governments to aggregate demand for
				alternative fuel. Facilities/sites must work
				with DOE's Clean Cities program to coordinate
				these teaming arrangements.
				
			(c)	When these options have been exhausted, the
				facility/site must initiate a procurement
				process for the installation of on-site
				alternative fueling infrastructure including
				fuel pumps. On-site fueling should be pursued
				when cost-effective.
				
		(2)	The contractor must arrange for the procurement of
			alternative-fuel vehicles to replace the existing
			conventional-fuel fleet to the extent practicable,
			with the goal of replacing the existing fleet with
			alternative fuel and/or hybrid technology vehicles
			by the end of FY 2010.
			
		(3)	For the purposes of the TEAM Initiative,
			"alternative fuel vehicles" are defined according
			to Section 301 of EPAct 1992.
			
9.	DATA AND TRACKING.
	
	a.	Annual reports. The contractor must provide compliance
		data to its appropriate Department office no later than
		November 23 of each year, or as otherwise required by
		the appropriate Department office. The contractor must
		implement internal policies that will ensure accurate
		tracking of the vehicle acquisitions and inventory,
		mileage, fuel consumption by fuel type, and other
		relevant data.
		
	b.	Monthly reports. Upon the monthly receipt from the
		Department of the facility/site's vehicle tag numbers,
		fuel use data (by fuel type for all petroleum and
		alternative fuels) for covered GSA-leased vehicles, the
		contractor must track these data to ensure its accuracy
		and also track comparable data for all covered
		Department-owned and commercially leased vehicles.
		
	c.	Credits. Alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisition
		requirements are set forth in section 303 of EPAct
		1992. Vehicles acquired under section 303 means (i) new
		purchase, (ii) a newly leased vehicle, or (iii) a
		leased vehicle that replaces an existing leased
		vehicle. In calculating AFV acquisition compliance, the
		Department must receive the following credits:
		
		(1)	One credit for each dual-fuel AFV (flexible fuel
			or bi-fuel), regardless of vehicle size class as
			long as the vehicle meets the AFV definition of
			EPAct 1992, as amended by EPAct 2005.
			
		(2)	Two credits for each dedicated light-duty AFV.
			
		(3)	Three credits for each dedicated medium-duty AFV.
			
		(4)	Four credits for each dedicated heavy-duty AFV.
			
10.	WATER MANAGEMENT. Ensure that water reduction goals are
	included in the Executable Plans.
	
11.	UTILITIES MANAGEMENT.
	
	a.	The Department is governed by EPACT 2005, Section
		203(a) [42 U.S.A. 15,852(a)], which requires DOE to
		consume increasing amounts of renewable energy over
		time. The contractor must assist DOE in meeting its
		obligations under this statute. The availability and
		cost of renewable energy varies greatly by geographical
		location, market maturity and availability over time,
		and individual contracts may be affected at different
		levels than the thresholds set out in the statute to
		ensure the Department as a whole meets its obligations.
		
	b.	The contractor must ensure the installation of advanced
		meters to the maximum extent practicable at all
		buildings and participation in the centralized data
		collection, reporting and management system.
		
	c.	The contractor must use an environmental management
		system to establish, track, and review its progress
		towards meeting the energy efficiency, water
		
		conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, and renewable
		energy goals as reflected in their Executable Plans.
		
12.  PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT.
	
	a.	The contractor must train personnel at the
		facility/site to direct energy and water management
		programs and dedicate all or a substantial portion of
		their time to the effective implementation of energy
		and water management plans.
		
	b.	The contractor must implement employee incentive
		programs to reward exceptional individual and team
		performance in increasing energy efficiency and water
		conservation, deploying renewable energy, minimizing
		waste, reducing utility costs, and reducing greenhouse
		gas emissions.
		
	c.	The contractor must implement outreach programs to
		motivate employees to become more efficient in their
		use of energy, water, and green products and services,
		and to minimize waste.
