FEMP Training Catalog

Course provides federal personnel with a concise overview of federal energy management and the most current tools and resources for success.

This 2018 Energy Exchange recorded session (Track 8, Session 2) explores various energy modeling tools, technologies, and best practices.

Recorded webinar tells how energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), utility energy service contracts, and renewable energy procurement can save energy, improve infrastructure, and create jobs. It introduces cutting-edge, web-based tools and user-friendly software that make matching project financing options with energy and water conservation opportunities easier and more efficient.

This training consists of a basic introduction to the Department of Energy (DOE) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and how to get started with an energy savings performance contracting (ESPC) project at your site. This training also covers acquisition planning, energy service company (ESCO) selection, the preliminary assessment, energy saving technologies, and energy security/resilience through ESPC.

This training provides attendees with an understanding of energy savings project contract (ESPC) project development phase one which includes measurement and verification, technical proposal review, and the risk, responsibility, and performance matrix (RRPM). Task order schedules are thoroughly reviewed so attendees learn the purpose of each and recognize the pricing and financing aspects of an ESPC project.

This training provides attendees with an overview of the implementation/construction period activities and includes a discussion of agency responsibilities, invoices and payments, and annual measurement and verification activities during the performance period. The contents of the contract management plan will be thoroughly reviewed so attendees are able to identify the differences between traditional performance contracting implementation and construction period activities and responsibilities.

Training sections cover a high-level understanding of what an ESPC is and how it is used to accomplish energy improvements, task order ordering procedures, contractor selection, risk and responsibility, measurement and verification, applicable financial schedules, pricing and financing aspects of the project, and post award contract administration including FEMP's Life of Contract services.

This 2019 Energy Exchange recorded session (Track 4, Session 6) explores energy storage, which can contribute to resilience through optimization of renewable generation sources, provision of isolated regional or local power, and aid the restoration and startup of systems.

This 2020 Energy Exchange Extra session discusses real-life examples of energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), utility energy service contracts (UESCs), and ESPC ENABLE projects converting a variety of energy conservation measures (ECMs) and focuses on best practices and lessons learned during project development, financing, construction, and the performance period.

Recorded webinar educates attendees (federal employees, utility, energy service company representatives) on how they can use eProject Builder (ePB) for their utility energy service contract (UESC) projects.
