Bolstering Energy Leadership in the Federal Government

Timothy Unruh, Federal Energy Management Program, U.S. Department of Energy

FEMP works with key individuals to accomplish energy change within organizations by bringing expertise from all levels of project and policy implementation to enable Federal Agencies to meet energy related goals and to provide energy leadership to the country. FEMP is looking to evolve partnerships and opportunities to collaborate with the private sector to help further bolster Federal Agencies to meet energy related goals and to provide energy leadership to the country. FEMP hopes this will lead to innovative solutions which allows for energy saving performance contracts (ESPC) to provide deeper retro fits to facilities and other high technology spaces.
