Federal Energy Management Program

With more than 350,000 energy-utilizing buildings and 600,000 vehicles, the federal government is the nation’s largest energy consumer. Energy used in buildings and facilities represents about 40% of the total site-delivered energy use of the federal government, with vehicle and equipment energy use accounting for 60%. **Mission and Stakeholders** FEMP works with its stakeholders to enable federal agencies to meet energy-related goals, identify affordable solutions, facilitate public-private partnerships, and provide energy leadership to the country by identifying government best practices. **Federal Government Progress** FEMP guides federal agencies to leverage FEMP resources and assistance to spur public-private partnerships and successfully implement replicable, well-designed projects. These efforts have resulted in the federal government achieving a 50% reduction in energy intensity since 1975. Energy consumed in federal government facilities has been generally declining over the past four decades. This reduction stems from the total square footage occupied by the federal government, which has continued to fall since its peak in fiscal year (FY) 1987, and from the energy consumed per square foot inside federal buildings, which has been declining since FY 1975.
