Policies, Guidelines and Incentive Programs
Program Update: Since
1997, the Washington State University Extension Energy Program has
provided support for the REM program through funding from the U.S.
Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP).
While funding for the REM Program has been discontinued as of December
31, 2006, the resources in this website still offer value to REMs
and those interested in contracting a REM for their facility. Additional
energy management resources and support are available by visiting
the FEMP website.
Employees of federal facilities, or those contracted with them (including
REMs) may access technical assistance through the EERE Information
Center by calling 877-337-3463 or visiting their website.
While the information posted on this website will be accessible indefinitely, the site itself will not be maintained after December 31, 2006.
The policies and guidelines shown here are examples of past and present energy and resource efficiency management policies that were successful in their facility or installation. We have also provided a listing of Federal Laws and Regulations. This reference site is intended to assist you in writing an energy policy that can be designed specifically to meet the needs of your facility's energy and resource-use profile.
