2016 Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) Funding Recipients

On December 8, 2016, FEMP selected the following three federal agencies to receive AFFECT funding:

Department of Agriculture (U.S. Forest Service): This program proposes to expand its use of ENABLE from two regions to 10 regions overall. The agency has demonstrated an impressive understanding of how to institutionalize the ESPC ENABLE process within its organization, and there is high-level and broad support throughout the organization. The U.S. Forest Service is committed to developing $15 million worth of energy savings projects.
General Service Administration (Public Building Service): This program will utilize a proven ESPC Team, the General Service Administration’s (GSA) Project Management Office (PMO), to institutionalize the ESPC ENABLE process across the entire organization. GSA is committed to developing $18 million worth of energy savings projects.
Department of Defense (U.S. Air Force): This program has identified organizational barriers experienced with performance contracting in the past, and has developed a plan to overcome them with the newly created Office of Energy Assurance (OEA) to ensure an efficient, effectively ESPC ENABLE process that will be institutionalized within the Air National Guard. Air Force is committed to developing $18 million worth of energy savings projects.
