Energy Management Support On New GSA Schedule GSA has created a new Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle to help the federal government go green. The new schedule provides energy management support services to assist agencies in meeting presidential initiatives to strengthen environmental, energy and transportation conservation goals. GSA said it has awarded 267 contracts on the schedule. President Bush’s Executive Order 13423, signed in January 2007, sets goals in the areas of energy efficiency, acquisition, renewable energy, reducing toxics, recycling, renewable energy, sustainable buildings, electronics stewardship, fleets and water conservation. The order requires more widespread use of environmental management systems as the framework to manage and continually improve these sustainable practices. Energy management support services offered under this schedule contract include: •Energy Audit Services •Energy Management Program Support, Planning and Strategies •Water Audits, Management and Conservation Solutions •Resource Efficiency Management and Training •Innovative Renewable Energy Solutions •Building Commissioning Services •Metering and Advanced Metering Services GSA said the contract makes it easier to develop “green” buildings that rate favorably with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, as designated by the U.S. Green Building Council.
