Wind Powering the Government
There are more than half a million Federal buildings with electric bills totaling about $3.5 billion per year. The Wind Powering America Initiative challenges the Federal government to reduce its use of energy produced by fossil fuels by obtaining at least 5% of its electricity from wind by 2010. As part of the current efforts to achieve the initiative's goal, NREL's Technical Information Services published Wind Powering the Government, a brochure that encourages the use of wind energy on Federal properties and the purchase of green power or green tags by Federal property managers.

Laboratories for the 21st Century: An Introduction to Low-Energy Design; Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Brochure
With its extensive requirements for environmental systems, flexibility, and growth, energy-efficient laboratory design is a challenge. Unlike other building types, a laboratory has HVAC and energy considerations that cannot be deferred; they must play a key, formative role if the building is to succeed. This publication should help to sensitize building professionals and their clients to the complex array of issues associated with efficient laboratory design and performance. This is only an introduction and you will need to consult other resources for in-depth information about energy-efficient laboratory design.

Energy Efficient Upgrades for Fermilab Infrastructure: Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Utility Services Case Study
At the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), originally built in the 1960s, old process and comfort chillers, pumps, and other related central cooling-system equipment were replaced, and pumping configuration changes were made to accelerator heat rejection systems, the employee office space and a ``process system'' for the equipment and accelerators. The new 4500-ton cooling system is expected to use 40% less energy and is free of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. Energy savings of 20 million kWh and a demand reduction of about 2.5 megawatts are expected, resulting in estimated cost savings of $900,000 per year.

OUT Success Stories: Chemical Treatments for Geothermal Brines
DOE research helped develop the large, untapped geothermal resource beneath the Salton Sea in California's Imperial Valley. The very hot brines under high pressure make them excellent for electric power production. The brines are very corrosive and contain high concentrations of dissolved silica. DOE worked with San Diego Gas and Electric Company to find a solution to the silica-scaling problem. This innovative brine treatment eliminated scaling and made possible the development of the Salton Sea geothermal resource.
