2 Helping you comply with the Energy Policy Act of The Energy Policy Act of 2005 will have a significant impact on your agency. Both now, and down the road. With our energy efficient solutions, you can count on Schneider Electric to help you meet the challenge reducing energy usage and costs while enhancing your facility s performance, reliability and safety. What the energy bill is all about Leading the nation toward a sustainable energy future. Reducing the impact on the environment. Saving taxpayer dollars. As the single largest user of energy in the United States, the federal government has focused on better energy management for the past few decades. As part of this broad initiative, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 on Aug. 8, The bill establishes a comprehensive, long-range policy that calls on federal agencies to lead by example and improve their energy efficiency. It s designed to: Measure and reduce energy consumption. Promote alternative energy and technologies. How it will impact your agency The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established a number of energy efficiency goals and mandates for federal agencies: Reduce energy use in federal buildings by two percent annually for the fiscal years 2006 to Write and submit a metering plan for facilities. Install advanced meters for every federal building by Design new buildings to exceed ASHRAE energy consumption standards by 30 percent. Make energy efficient products the first choice in all government procurements.
