Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

Green Proving Ground leverages GSA’s real estate portfolio to evaluate new and underutilized building technologies.

Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

Identify promising technologies in pre- or early-commercial phases

Pilot technology installations within GSA’s real estate portfolio

Partner with Department of Energy national laboratories to objectively evaluate real-world performance

Recommend technologies with broad deployment potential

How Does GPG Work?

Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade

• Federally-owned buildings in GSA’s portfolio

• Large urban buildings with central plant

– 90% buildings > 100,000 ft2, 80% portfolio energy spend: buildings > 200,000 ft2

• Majority in mild climate zone

– > 80% in ASHRAE climate zones 3, 4, 5

• Energy efficient: Majority Energy Star 80 or better
