This course provides foundational information that will help agencies understand the fundamental characteristics of the utility industry in the United States. With this information and understanding, federal agencies will be better prepared to meet the 100% carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE) goals by 2030 as outlined in Executive Order 14057.

This 2018 Energy Exchange recorded session details how to best perform water assessments in federal facilities.

Course provides learners with a concise introduction to comprehensive water management, including the key topic areas of basic water management terminology, the history of federal water mandates, best practices associated with comprehensive water management, and proven water conservation financing mechanisms and strategies.

This 2020 Energy Exchange Extra sessions shows where water resilience projects have been successfully implemented and how federal agencies are planning and addressing water resilience. It also explores what contracting vehicles and tools were used and how the agencies choose among potential water resilience solutions to provide mission assurance around water through conservation and supply measures.

This 2020 Energy Exchange Extra session focuses on how to build a workforce around energy resilience, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity in the current climate. The panel looks at how registered apprenticeships can be tailored to growth areas, whereby companies can rapidly (12 to 18 months) update or expand their workforce by training candidates with a high school or associate degree at a minimal cost to get new skills and certification.
