SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description of training provided by the
Office of Federal Energy Management Programs is as follows:
Renewable Energy Projects Workshop
This course is intended for Federal facility managers and
associated architects and engineers who are interested in incorporating
renewable resource technologies into new or retrofit building projects.
The course includes 4 distinct modules.
An integrated renewables/energy efficient approach to new
construction/major renovation;
Renewable measures that may be applicable for building
retrofits;
Renewable technologies that can be used for electrical
generation; and,
Procurement pitfalls and issues and financing that is
applicable to all types of renewables.
(2 days. No tuition fee.)
Water Resource Management Workshop
Assists Federal resource managers in incorporating water efficiency
into their project assessment, planning, and implementation programs as
required by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) and E.O. 12902. The
Course includes the following topics:
Federal water use;
The impacts of conservation practices;
The legal framework for water management;
Auditing, metering, and leak detection;
Conservation opportunities; and,
Water resource acquisition.
(2 days, no tuition fee.)
Federal Energy Management Workshop
The Federal Energy Management Workshop summarizes current practices
in alternative financing, facility operation and maintenance, and
energy auditing and provides training toward meeting the EPAct
``trained energy manager'' requirements. EPAct defines a ``trained
energy manager'' as a person who has completed a course of study in the
areas of:
Fundamentals of building energy systems;
Building energy codes and applicable professional
standards; [[Page 15554]]
Energy accounting and analysis;
Life-cycle cost methodologies;
Fuel supply and pricing; and,
Instrumentation for energy surveys and audits.
(2 days. No tuition fee.)
Designing Low Energy Building Workshop for Non-Residential Buildings
Formerly known as the Passive Solar Design Strategy Workshop, the
course addresses whole building design, stressing the integration of
daylighting, energy efficient equipment, and passive solar design
strategies. Case studies and analysis for various climates are
included.
(2 days. No tuition fee.)
Designing Low Energy Building Workshop for Residential Buildings
For personnel involved in the Federal residential building design
process, this course can be tailored for your installations and
conducted there, as requested and approved.
(1 day. No tuition fee.)
Life Cycle Costing/A Simplified Energy Analysis Method (ASEAM) Workshop
Basic for all energy improvement projects, the first two days of
this course include instruction in LCC economic evaluation methods and
an introduction to LCC software use in project design, sizing, and
selection. Retrofit case examples and class team problems will be
explored. The third day includes hands-on instruction in the use of the
ASEAM software tool for simulating the impact of energy retrofits in
buildings. A working knowledge of IBM-compatible microcomputers is
required.
(3 days. No tuition fee.)
Federal Energy Decision Screening (FEDS) Workshop
Designed for Federal agency-level and installation-level energy
managers who want to identify cost-effective site-specific energy
system revitalization projects. The workshop includes hands-on use of
the FEDS level-1 analytical software for site project screening and
prioritizing and FEDS level-2 software for analyzing specific
improvements.
(2\1/2\ days. No tuition fee.)
Federal Relighting Initiative (FRI) Workshop
The FRI workshop is targeted at Federal personnel responsible for
lighting analysis, procurement, planning, and the installation of life-
cycle cost-effective technology. The objective is to provide guidance
on energy-efficient lighting consistent with other facility lighting
considerations, quality and cost, and whole building analysis. Topics
include:
Basic lighting concepts; a comprehensive process for
Federal relighting project development and implementation;
Application of the Federal Lighting Expert (FLEX) System
and other analytical software tools; and,
The use of professional lighting design services.
An additional half-day is for hands-on problem solving using
software tools.
(2\1/2\ days. No tuition fee.)
Energy Savings Performance (ESP) Contracting
EPAct streamlined the process for awarding shared energy savings
contracts through the use of ESP contracting. This course places the
ESP approach in the context of other financing options and will
familiarize technical facility management personnel and procurement
specialists with this form of third party financing for performing
energy saving retrofits on buildings. Course materials include model
solicitation on diskette. Topics include: ESP concepts and statutory
basis, solicitation design and preparation, proposal evaluation, and
contract implementation. Students will look at case histories and
discuss the selection of candidate ESP project sites and receive hands-
on help for specific projects they bring to the class.
(4 days. No tuition fee.)
