Abstract

This paper describes the FEMP New Technology Demonstration Program, which seeks to reduce federal-sector costs and improve overall energy efficiency at federal facilities by accelerating federal adoption of new and emerging energy-efficient, renewable-energy, and water-conserving technologies through education and demonstrations. The Program focuses on technologies that are commercially available but have not penetrated the federal market. This paper describes the Program, how new technologies fit into an overall energy management program, and how the Program disseminates information on new technologies. The paper also provides a successful case study as well as a caution regarding new technologies.
