What is FEMP designated?
(4) FEMP designated product The term “FEMP designated product” means a product that is designated under the Federal Energy Management Program of the Department of Energy as being among the highest 25 percent of equivalent products for energy efficiency.
What are FEMP designated products?
FEMP-designated products represent the upper 25% of their class in energy efficiency. When requesting products, ask for ENERGY STAR-certified models or products that meet FEMP-designated efficiency requirements. When receiving products, verify that they are energy efficient.
What is FEMP compliance?
Federal Government Compliance Overview FEMP offers covered facility management and benchmarking data related to EISA 432. Key metrics and aggregates are available for the federal government and individual top-tier agencies. Publicly available data for ad hoc analysis and reporting can be found in the Data Warehouse.
What does efficiency of an appliance mean?
Appliances that are energy efficient use less electricity to achieve the same level of performance to similar models with the same size or capacity. The more energy efficient a model, the less energy it will use and the less it will cost you to run.
How do you create an energy management program?
Energy Management Plan
- Measure/benchmark current energy consumption.
- Develop an energy use profile.
- Complete a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory.
- Build teams, get leadership support, assign dedicated resources.
- Set targets/goals.
- Develop strategic action plans for improvement.
What is an EISA covered facility?
Section 432 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 432) requires federal agencies to identify “covered facilities” that constitute at least 75% of their total facility energy use as subject to the requirements of the statute.
Does energy efficiency save money?
Energy efficiency helps us save money, whether it’s by upgrading to new energy-efficient appliances or by changing the light bulbs we use. The amount of money we save from energy-efficient can be quite significant. Again, you could save hundreds of dollars over a few years by upgrading your appliances.
Why we should use less electricity?
Reducing energy use in your home saves you money, increases our energy security, and reduces the pollution that is emitted from non-renewable sources of energy.
Which refrigerator uses less energy?
Models with the freezer on top tend to use the least energy (versus bottom freezers or side-by-sides). Consider buying a refrigerator with fewer doors.
Which type of fridge is most energy-efficient?
side-by-side fridges — yes, it does matter where that freezer sits: The most energy efficient refrigerator style is a top-mount freezer refrigerator. The variation in how much energy savings can be achieved with a top-mount freezer refrigerator depends in part, ENERGY STAR® states, on whether it has an ice dispenser.
