The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) project at two U.S. Department of State facilities in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. The project, awarded by the State Department to Honeywell, will implement energy efficiency and water conservation measures at the Harry S. Truman Building in Washington, D.C., which serves as the agency’s headquarters, and at the Beltsville Information Management Center in Beltsville, Maryland. Saving energy through ESPCs is a key component of the Obama Administration’s recent directive to reduce energy costs in agency facilities, while creating jobs and cutting carbon emissions.

Under the contract, Honeywell will install energy efficient equipment that will that save more than 25 billion Btu per year—enough to power more than 260 homes for a year—and generate energy, water, and operations and maintenance cost savings of more than $700,000 in the first year alone. The savings on utility bills created through the facility upgrades will be used to pay for the project over the term of the contract, and the State Department will continue to save energy and money after the contract term has ended.
