FEMP'S O&M Best Practices Guide A Guide to Achieving Operational Efficiency
The Federal Energy Management Program's (FEMP's) O&M Best Practices Guide (O&M BPG) highlights O&M programs targeting energy efficiency that are estimated to save between 5% and 20% on energy bills without a significant capital investment. Depending on the Federal site, these savings can represent thousands to hundreds-of-thousands of dollars each year, and many can be achieved with minimal cash outlays. In addition to energy/resource savings, a well-run O&M program will 1)increase the safety of all staff because properly maintained equipment is safer equipment; 2)ensure the comfort, health and safety of building occupants through properly functioning equipment providing a healthy indoor environment; 3)confirm the design life expectancy of equipment is achieved; and 4)facilitate the compliance with Federal legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. The focus of this guide is to provide the Federal O&M/Energy manager and practitioner with information and actions aimed at achieving these savings and benefits. The O&M BPG was developed under the direction of the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program.
