This volume is a general overview or preview on energy conservation general, while the second volume deals with 118 specific energy conservation opportunities (ECOs). Chapter 1.0 is an introduction to the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), as well as overview of this two-volume guide. Chapter 2.0 presents background information on characteristics of the federal buildings sector and reviews pertinent federal legislation concerning energy conservation. Chapter 3.0 provides guidance on how to assess energy use in federal facilities. Included in Chapter 3.0 is a discussion of analysis of utility bills, screening for energy conservation opportunities, analysis of promising opportunities, and identification of supplemental metering needs. With the increasing use of computers, especially personal computers, many building simulations or models are now available to aid energy managers or architects/engineers in analyzing ECOs. Chapter 4.0 discusses the evolution of these diverse computer simulation models, the typical data input needed to use these models effectively, how to use the models, the typical data input needed to use these models effectively, how to use the models for ECO analysis, and how to interpret the model results. The last section of Chapter 4.0 discusses some of the limitations associated with using computer models in ECO analysis. 11 refs., 1 fig., 10 tabs. 收起
