As a federal facility manager or energy manager, you might be wondering how renewable energy can help you meet your agency's goals for greater energy efficiency, energy security, a cleaner environment—and lower utility bills. In fact, renewable resources such as biomass, geothermal, solar, and wind—can help you meet all those goals.
Each renewable resource has a number of applications or technologies that can be used at federal facilities. The technologies that are most applicable for your facility will depend on the renewable resources available in your geographic location. Visit the resource pages to learn more about renewable resources and applications that make sense for your facility.
