1. Energy Efficiency

Commercial and Multi-Family High-Rise Residential Buildings or Low-Rise Residential.

(Required; Building-specific)

Has energy usage met any of the following performance options?

• Option 1: Reduce measured building energy use by at least 30% below the FY 2003, or earlier, energy use baseline. 
• Option 2: Reduce modeled building energy use (from all sources including renewable energy) by at least 20% below the FY 2015 energy use baseline.
• Option 3a: Reduce modeled building energy use (from all sources including renewable energy) by at least 30% below ASHRAE 90.1 standard. 
• Option 3b: Reduce modeled building energy use (from all sources including renewable energy) by at least 30% below IECC standard.

Energy Efficient Products.

(Required; Installation-wide)

Do acquisition documents require the purchase of ENERGY STAR and/or FEMP-designated Energy Efficient products?

Per EISA 2007 Section 525, acquire products that are ENERGY STAR®-qualified or meet FEMP-designated efficiency requirements in all covered product categories, considering cost-effectiveness and availability. Link to EPA sites: http://www.energystar.gov/ or http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/.
