State Buildings Energy Efficiency and Conservation ActThe State Buildings Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act stipulates that all state agencies shall reduce their energy consumption by 5% by 2009 and 10% by 2010. The Department of General Services (DGS), in cooperation with MEA, are to set forth energy performance indices for each agency. Each State agency is to conduct an analysis of each building under its jurisdiction of its gas and electric consumption and the cost of this consumption. It also states that all state agencies will submit to MEA an Energy Conservation Plan, by July 1, 2008, to include Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) to achieve the reduction goals. ECMs cited in the bill include energy performance contracting, energy efficient lighting retrofits, water conservation devices, weatherization, efficient heating and cooling devices, and employee training. If you have questions or if your agency has not assigned an Energy Coordinator, please contact Jenn Gallicchio at jgallicchio@energy.state.md.us (410.260.7542). Energy Plan Template Materials
