This web tool helps federal facility managers and resilience planners understand the cost of an electric grid outage. Users enter site characteristics and critical load information into the tool, then estimate the types of outage costs they may incur--from immediate losses to costs that accumulate each hour the power is out. The FEMP-sponsored CDF Calculator provides essential data for those tasked with justifying the benefit of resilience investments for their facilities. The calculation baselines the cost of inaction to help facility managers understand the value of resilience solutions, such as redundant systems or enhanced energy security.

This webinar will spotlight successful utility energy service contract (UESC) projects that are enabling federal agencies to meet critical statutory and policy goals related to energy resilience and cost efficiency. By leveraging partnerships with serving utilities, federal sites are implementing comprehensive solutions that cut energy waste, improve infrastructure reliability, and reduce operational costs without upfront capital investment. Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) experts and agency panelists will speak to real-world projects and share best practices, lessons learned, and strategies to replicate success across the federal government.

Conventional water treatment (consisting of coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorination) can generally remove intact cyanobacterial cells and low levels of cyanotoxins from source waters. However, water systems may face challenges in providing drinking water during a severe bloom event when there are high levels of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in source waters. This collection of tools will help public water systems manage this issue.

Ensuring cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility, but not all of us speak the same language! This Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) workshop is aimed at federal energy managers, engineers, and other operational technology staff to help them better understand key cybersecurity concepts to better respond to agency cybersecurity requirements, procure new technology that may impact cybersecurity posture, and work with information technology staff to reduce cybersecurity vulnerabilities while keeping operational technology up and running.

This Guide is developed by FEMP in collaboration with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The Guide is an introduction to a temporary wireless mesh assessment kit, a data center monitoring system which can be used to reduce equipment costs and shorten the time frame of a traditional data center energy use assessment. The assessment kit helps to create an accurate evaluation of data center operation, air management, and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) at lower cost and with greater efficiency. The guide also details the advantages of the wireless assessment kit versus traditional data center monitoring, the process for installing and operating the assessment kit, and basic information and background on data center monitoring and evaluation. The guide is intended for personnel responsible for managing data center energy use, including IT and facilities managers.

This training series covers best practices to achieve high-performance, energy-efficient data centers, including maximizing savings through software and information technology efficiency, optimizing environmental conditions, and more. Once on the website, scroll down to "Data center" to see all offerings for this topic.

This eTraining will go in depth on the energy savings opportunities within the electrical system of the data center. This course will focus on efficient components and configurations of data centers, power conversions energy loss, and redundancy requirements for increased efficiency.

A data center houses computer servers, storage, and networking equipment as well as critical support infrastructure such as cooling and electrical systems. Data center operators are challenged to address key mandates: deliver reliable services, operate efficiently, and ensure resiliency and flexibility. The objective of this webinar is to make the US DOE Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) training program better known to help reduce IT equipment and facility energy use and carbon footprint. The training program has a comprehensive set of training material, including software tools with what-if capabilities to reinforce and enhance the learning experience. The program issues, on behalf of DOE, certificates that he/she is a qualified DCEP to those who pass the exam(s) after taking the training. Qualified DCEPs completed training on performing energy assessments in data centers and passed exams demonstrating their proficiency in the use of the high-level online DC Pro Tool and selected in-depth Excel Assessment System Tools. The Federal Energy Act of 2020 provides statutory mandates for maintaining the DCEP program in collaboration with key stakeholders. The Energy Act also states that each federal agency shall consider having its data centers evaluated once every 4 years by practitioners certified pursuant to the DCEP program.

Data centers are energy-intensive and opportunities exist to reduce energy use, but significant knowledge, training, and skills are required to perform accurate data center energy assessments. In order to accelerate energy savings, the data center industry and DOE partnered to develop the Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Program. The DCEP training program certifies energy practitioners qualified to evaluate the energy status and efficiency opportunities in data centers.

DOE has partnered with industry to develop a Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) certificate training program to accelerate energy savings in the dynamic and energy-intensive marketplace of data centers.

This is a comprehensive list of recommended efficiency actions for data centers. The Master list also feeds into the Data Center Profiler (DC Pro) tool to provide tailored recommendations for improvement.

This Guide is intended to help Data Center owners and operators gather the necessary data to participate in the Better Buildings Challenge (BBC). The BBC process includes supplying data that is at least partially metered, and this Guide describes the requirements and how to implement a metering system that will provide the necessary data. Focus is on calculating the power usage effectiveness (PUE) metric.

The Data Center Profiler (DCPro) Tool Training free webinar provides information on how to use the DC Pro tool suite to profile data center energy use and identify energy efficiency actions. The webinar includes: A demonstration of the newest version of the profiling tool;An overview of the system assessment tools for air management and electrical systems; A recommended process and related resources to implement data center efficiency. This course is offered by FEMP.

The Data Center Profiler (DC Pro) Tools are "early stage" profiling tools designed for data center owners and operators to diagnose how energy is being used by their data centers and determine ways to save energy and money.

This site provides access to a compilation of datasets from multiple Federal agencies (i.e., DOE, EPA, GSA) concerning multiple aspects of energy. Examples of available datasets include data about: Energy Star products; Energy Star buildings; energy use analysis; hydropower generation data; DOE NEPA documentation, and EPA geospatial data.

The Foundation's Conservation and Science Program is focused on the challenge of sustainability--finding paths for human progress that protect and restore the ecological systems upon which all life depends. We invest in action and in ideas, supporting initiatives to secure public policy reforms to changes in private sector practices and scientific activities to develop essential knowledge and tools for understanding and addressing current and future priorities. The Program supports work on four priorities: Oceans and Coasts, Atmosphere, Sustainability Science, and Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering.
