Updated Energy Management
Executive Order Signed
With more than
500,000 build-
ings, the federal
government is the nation's
largest energy consumer and
perfectly positioned to be an
energy management leader.
To help make that happen,
President Clinton signed
Executive Order (EO)
13123, Greening the
Government Through
Efficient Energy Management,
on June 3, 1999. The EO
sets greenhouse gas and
energy reduction goals and
encourages the use of renew-
able and highly energy-
efficient technologies.
Implementing EO 13123 will
help EPA and other agencies
save taxpayer dollars and
protect the environment.
REDUCTION GOALS
EO 1 3123 increases
the energy consumption
reduction goals estab-
ished in EO 12902,
signed in 1 994, and
includes new
greenhouse gas
reduction
goals. No
federal facili-
ty will be
exempted from these goals
unless it meets new exemp-
tion criteria to be issued by
DOE. The box on page 3
provides specific information
on each of these goals.

Biomass—Harvesting Tomorrow's Energy
In the search for alterna-
tives to Earth's limited
energy sources, EPA and
other organizations are look-
ing with hope to a unique
combination of technology
and ancient agricultural
practices—biomass energy.
For centuries, humans have
subsisted by cultivating the
Earth's vegetation. Now, thanks
to advancing technology,
harvesting organics could be
the key to a clean and sus-
tainable energy future.
Biomass is plant matter,
most often composed of
wood and wood wastes, that
naturally stores supplies of
solar energy as complex
carbon-based molecules. As
biomass undergoes photo-
synthesis, carbon dioxide
combines with water to pro-
duce carbohydrates, the
basis of biomass energy. By
burning biomass, we can
extract the energy stored in
the chemical bonds and har-
ness it to generate power.
Already a viable energy
option, there are three main
ways that biomass can be
used for energy generation:
• Direct combustion—bio-
mass is burned, creating
steam, which can move a
turbine attached to a
generator.
• Gasification—gasifiers
heat biomass in an oxy-
gen-starved environment,
breaking it into chemical
components and creating
a product gas suitable for
fueling advanced power
systems.
• Pyrolysis—heat is used to
chemically convert bio-
mass into pyrolysis oil,
which is easier to store
and transport than solid
biomass material. This oi is
then burned, like petrole-
um, to produce electricity.
Emerging bioconversion
and thermal conversion
technology will inevitably
enhance the cost-
effectiveness and practice ity
of biomass energy, but its
environmental appeal is
inherent and already well-
known.
Nonrenewable forms of
biomass, such as coal, gas,
and oi, represent carbon
deposits laid into the earth
millions of years ago from
decaying plants and animals.
As we use these fuels, carbon
deposits are released, alter-
ing the natural carbon cycle.
The existing carbon cycle
cannot assimilate these new
releases of carbon, allowing
carbon dioxide and methane
to accumulate in the atmos-
phere trapping solar radia-
tion.
Burning biomass, however,
contributes no stored carbon
dioxide to the atmosphere.
The carbon dioxide released
during combustion is balanced
by new plant growth. As a
result, the greenhouse effect
and air emission problems
associated with fossi fuel
combustion are eliminated,
and carbon releases are
ready for plant assimilation.
Biomass resources have a
regenerative cycle of 30

Athens, Georgia. Results of a recent feasibility
study conducted for the Athens laboratory indicate
that large quantities of biofuel are available locally.
Next, the size, type, cost, and potential funding
options for the plant equipment will be determined.
A strong partnership between EPA, DOE, USDA, and
state agencies will be the foundation for making this
project a success.
Richmond, California. EPA has just signed a con-
tract to purchase 1.8 million kilowatt hours of elec-
tricity generated from landfill methane gas. Due to
deregulation of California's electric industry, EPA,
along with other electricity consumers in the state,
can now purchase electricity that is generated using
renewable resources such as biomass.
years or less, making the
possibility of biomass crops,
specially harvested and
replenished, a plausible sce-
nario for future energy sup-
plies.
Many options exist for
biomass energy use. Biomass
can be converted into trans-
portation fuels such as
ethanol, methanol, biodiesel,
and additives for reformulat-
ed gasoline. These biofuels
can be used in pure form or
blended with gasoline.
Biomass also can be used to
manufacture products such
as solvents, sorbents, and
construction materials.
Thus far, we have just
begun to explore the benefits
of this alternative energy
source; its potentia , howev-
er, is vast and promising. For

mass energy and products,

New Executive Order continued from page 1
The new EO also mandates
that by 201 0, every agency
reduce its greenhouse gas
emissions associated with
facility energy use by 30
percent compared to 1 990
levels. Greenhouse gas
reductions related to other
agency efforts, such as the
use of alternatively fueled
vehicles, can count toward
facility greenhouse gas
reduction goals if approved
by the Office of
Management and Budget.
Agencies will continue to
conduct energy and water
audits as previously mandat-
ed in EO 12902.
RENEWABLE
TECHNOLOGIES
EO 1 31 23 strongly encour-
ages federal agencies to
expand the use of renewable
energy and energy-efficient
technologies within their
facilities. The government
will strive to install 2,000
solar energy systems at fed-
eral facilities by the end of
2000, and 20,000 by
201 0. This will be done to
support the President's
Million Solar Roofs Initiative,
which hopes to install 1 mil-
lion solar energy systems
across the United States by
2010. The newEO also
encourages agencies to pur-
chase Energy Star® and
other energy-efficient prod-
ucts.
SUSTAINABLE
BUILDINGS
According to the new EO,
DOD and GSA, in consulta-
tion with DOE and EPA, will
develop sustainable design
principles. Agencies will
optimize life-cycle costs, pol-
lution, and other environ-
mental and energy costs
associated with the construc-
tion, life-cycle operation,
and decommissioning of
facilities. In addition, agen-
cies should strive to meet
the Energy Star® Building cri-
teria for energy performance
and indoor environmental
quality to the maximum
extent practicable by the end
of 2002. To help fund these
projects, agencies are
encouraged to use energy-
saving performance con-
tracts, which allow them to
implement energy-efficient
or renewable technologies
without having to incur the
associated capital costs.

Headquarters Drives Down Electric Avenue
EPA Headquarters has
added a new electric-
powered pickup truck to
its fleet of alternative fueled
vehicles (AFVs). The Ford
Ranger electric vehicle, which
generates no emissions, has
an approximate range of 50
miles between charges and a
maximum speed of 80 mph.
Five to 10 FMSD employ-
ees will use the vehicle three
to four times per week to
serve Headquarters' satellite
buildings and to transport
equipment and displays to
EPA ceremonies and special
events. The Potomac Electric
Power Company (PEPCO)
loaned the vehicle to EPA in
February 1 999 for a free 2-
month trial period through its
Federal Fleet Electric Vehicle
Acquisition
Program. The
vehicle
impressed
Headquarters'
staff, who will
lease the vehi-
cle for 3 years at about $350
a month. The Federal Fleet
Electric Vehicle Acquisition
Program, created by PEPCO,
DOE, and the Ford Motor
Company, is a pilot project to
help make electric vehicles a
commercial reality. In addi-
tion to free trial periods, the
program provides special
financia arrangements for
federal agencies interested in
leasing electric vehicles.
Similar electric vehicle leaner
programs exist in Richmond,

eral agencies to adopt
aggressive plans to exceed
the purchase requirements of
AFVs established by the
Energy Policy Act of 1992.
Both DOE and GSA are
authorized to assist agencies
with EO 12844 by paying
the incremental costs of
AFVs associated with acqui-
sition and disposal (DOE) or
by providing incentives to
purchase AFVs, such as pri-
ority processing of procure-
ment requests (GSA).
Purchase of the Ford Ranger
would cost between
$30,000 and $35,000.
EPA has acquired more
than 1 00 AFVs nationwide,
most of which run on com-
pressed natural gas (CNG).
These vehicles reduce air
pollution and encourage

Chemical Management at EPA Labs
One of EPA's on-
going goals is to
ensure safety and
health in all of the Agency's
laboratories. Achievements in
this area include the develop-
ment of a laboratory opera-
tions manual and related
products that stress proper
chemical management. These
tools provide examples of
pollution prevention activities
such as reducing the use of
certain chemicals, streamlin-
ing inventory functions,
implementing best practices,
and enhancing compliance.
In addition, EPA is developing
greener chemical process
alternatives, chemical order-
ing systems, and chemical
adoption programs.
EPA's Safety, Health, and
Environmental Management
Division (SHEMD) is collabo-
rating with EPA's Green
Chemistry Program to investi-
gate environmentally prefer-
able alternatives to testing
procedures that generate sol-
vent waste.
A process called Soxhelt
chemistry, in which samples
are distilled in solvents, is the
primary generator of this haz-
ardous waste.In 1 992, a total
of 78,743 kilograms of so -
vent hazardous waste was
produced in EPA labs by this
process.
A report, currently under
review, compiles data
explaining how each chem-
istry test and process affects
the environment and human
health. The most detrimental
processes identified in the
report will be replaced with
Hard Hats Off to EPA
This June, EPA's National
Vehicle Fuel Emissions
Laboratory (NVFEL)
Office Building in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, won the Engineering
Society of Detroit Construction
and Design Award. The
award recognizes the archi-
tects, engineers, contractors,
and owners of the facility in
areas such as overall design
quality, effective teaming, land
use and environmental con-
siderations, and energy con-
sciousness.
The building also is the
first EPA-leased facility eligible
for the Energy Star® label.
The Energy Star® program is
currently verifying the build-
ing's energy performance, the
final step before awarding the
Energy Star® label.
EPA's commitment to pol-
lution prevention through
improved energy efficiency
was a critica concern during
the construction of the 66,000-
square foot NVFEL office
building.
Therefore, the building's
HVAC system includes direct
digital controls (DDC) tech-
nologies that minimize the
energy required to maintain
optimum building airflow.
Although the DDC system
reduces energy consumption,
more environmentally sound
procedures such as micro-
analytical chemistry and solid
phase extraction. Use of
these greener processes will
eliminate 80 to 90 percent of
the solvent wastes currently
generated.
EPA also is focusing on
reducing unnecessary chemi-
cal purchases by instituting a
pharmacy system for ordering
and stocking chemicals. Each
facility tracks its inventory
through a bar coding system
maintained in a database.
When a chemist needs to
order a particular chemical,
the procurement department
can first determine if there is
any of the substance in-
house, perhaps owned by
another department.
Interdepartmental chemical
the air flow remains consis-
tent with ASHRAE Standard
62-1989 "Ventilation for
Acceptable Indoor Air Quality."
In addition, heating and cool-
ing in the facility is provided by
natural gas-fired, high-efficiency
hot water boilers and CFC-
free electric chillers. Variable
frequency motors help mini-
mize the energy requirements
of major fans and pumps.
Abundant argon-filled,
"low emissivity" windows and
skylights not only reduce the
amount of solar heat load
that enters the building but
also reduce the number of
lights needed. When lights are
required, however, the build-
ing's "uplighting" design pro-
sharing is being used in 50
percent of EPA's labs. It
allows a facility to reduce the
amount of chemicals
purchased and the number of
expiration dates exceeded.
A related chemical adop-
tion program also operates
throughout many EPA labs,
including Research Triangle
Park in North Carolina and
Central Regional Laboratory
in Chicago, Illinois. After
completing a project,
chemists can take remaining
chemicals to designated, sta-
ble areas and make them
available to other chemists.

Labs for the 21st Century Conference
Designers, engineers,
owners, and operators
of laboratory buildings
are invited to the
"Laboratories for the 21 st
Century" conference, a
unique opportunity for learn-
ing and sharing information
on incorporating energy-
efficient and renewable ener-
gy technologies into
laboratory design and opera-
tion. The conference, spon-
sored by EPA and DOE's
Federal Energy Management
Program (FEMP), will be held
September 8 to 1 0 in
Cambridge, Massachusetts,
and will include sessions on
financing efficiency improve-
ments, adopting energy
recovery strategies, retrofitting
laboratories, and defining the
environmental requirements
of 21 st century laboratories,
among other topics.
On the first morning, EPA
will announce the develop-
ment of an important new ini-
tiative called Labs21. The
initiative will become a volun-
tary program to improve the
energy efficiency of public
and private sector laborato-
ries. Additional details will be
provided at the conference.
"EPA is committed to
establishing a new environ-
mental standard for reducing
energy consumption in its
laboratories in the next six
years," explained Romulo
Diaz, conference key-note
speaker and EPA assistant
administrator for
Administration and Resources
Management. "We are eager
to share information about
energy efficiency and pollution
prevention experiences with
private sector and other gov-
ernment labs. We also are
looking forward to an open
and professional exchange of
ideas and experiences that
can contribute to general
operational improvements in
our nation's laboratories."
The conference will fea-
ture tutorials on efficiency
and renewable energy and
presentations on designing,
building, and operating low-
energy laboratory buildings.
Panel discussions, design cri-
tiques, breakout sessions,
and laboratory tours also are
planned. Participants will
include leading energy and
design experts from the
Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, the American
Institute of Architects
Committee on the
Environment, the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory,
EPA, FEMP, and private and
public sector laboratories.
"Participants will have an
opportunity to meet the spe-
cialists that are shaping the
future of the industry," said
Donald Prowler, one of the
conference planners and
Professor of Architecture at
Princeton University and the
University of Pennsylvania.
"Through this interaction,
attendees will leave with
a wealth of new design
ideas and implementation
strategies."
Panel discussions will
include case studies demon-
strating ways in which the
strategies or technologies are
being implemented success-
fully. Breakout sessions will
provide opportunities to
explore specific issues in
greater detail. Throughout
the 3-day conference, the
following topics will be
discussed:
• Defining the environmen-
tal requirements of 21 st

EPA Opens Fort Meade Science Center
While the Army con-
siders Fort Meade
an "Installation for
the 21st Century," EPA could
say the same of its new
Environmental Science
Center, located on the
Maryland base. EPA's facility,
which officially opened in
Apr!, incorporates numerous
environmental features as
part of the Agency's overall
commitment to protect
human health and the envi-
ronment. The 140,000-
square-foot facility features
green building technologies
including energy-saving light-
ing, an environmentally
friendly climate control sys-
tem, natural landscaping,
and the use of green building
materials.
The new facility provides
office space for 1 50 people
and consolidates six leased
facilities into one government-
owned site. The center
includes 70 laboratories for
chemistry, biology, and micro-
biology and supports soi, air,
and water testing to deter-
mine the presence of pollu-
tants and other contaminants.
The facility also contains a
library, six conference rooms,
and a video conferencing
center.
ENVIRONMENTAL
BUILDING ELEMENTS
In designing the Environ-
mental Science Center, EPA
took the opportunity to devel-
op a unique facility with mini-
mal environmental impact.
Some of the environmental
features incorporated into the
facility include:
• Energy-Efficiency. In keep-
ing with EPA's Green
Lights program, the center
maximizes natural lighting,
which is augmented by
energy-efficient electrica
lighting to reduce pollu-
tion and save energy. A
DDC unit monitors the
status of mechanical sys-
tems throughout the build-
ing to maintain peak
efficiency. Variable air vol-
umes for lab spaces mini-
mize heating and cooling
costs while maintaining a
safe working environment.
• Wafer Conservation. The
building uses low-water
flush units and maintains
a separate water supply
for cooling water.
• Climate Control. The
building's temperature is
controlled by non-ozone-
depleting coolants and
heat exchangers.
• Landscaping. Native
plants were planted or
maintained on the grounds,
which reduces irrigation
and pesticide needs.
During construction,
efforts were made to save
as many trees as possible.
• Materials. The center was
constructed with concrete
containing recycled incin-
erator residue (fly ash),
and recycled asphalt was
used for parking and
roadway surfaces. Lab
cabinetry is made of wood
from a managed forest,
which cost less than com-
parable metal casework.
In addition to these envi-
ronmenta features, the build-
ing ensures the safety of
laboratory workers and the
surrounding environment with
seamless floors that resist
spills, overhead gas lines that
eliminate the need for free-
standing gas cylinders, and
special exhaust systems that
prevent hazardous gases
from mixing.
All of these green design
elements have come together
to create a facility where EPA
scientists and other technica
personnel can carry out their
work to protect human health
and the environment in a build-
ing that strives to do the same.
