Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
EMRI Background
• The Energy Management Readiness Indicator (EMRI) was developed by FEMP
• Originally focused on agency level• May be utilized for FEMP/Agency “deep dive”
partnerships for assessments within an agency (bureaus, offices, centers, individual sites, etc.)
• Also available to agencies on a pay‐for‐service basis (i.e., “Work for Others”)
• EMRI can be tailored to agency needs to assess a specific area or interest
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
EMRI Purpose Statement
The motivation for the development of EMRI is to:• Evaluate various aspects of an organization’s approach to energy
management as a self‐assessment• Characterize an agency’s energy management structure and practices• Provide useful information to agencies regarding best‐practices and
areas for improvement• Assist agencies in leveraging strengths and addressing energy
management challenges• Assist with ISO 50001 and eGuide evaluation

Improvements
Federal Agency POC1. Gather information from OMB scorecard and identify federal agency staff to conduct the pilot surveys
2. NREL review the EMRI assessment questionnaire with the Agency POC
3. Data Collection
4. Compile and review data
5. Analyze data using scores and weighted methodology
6. Develop the report
7. Report consists of agency characterization, agency’s strengths and challenges, and recommendations to improve Energy Management Excellence
8. Improvements to existing processes can be monitored and re‐assessed to determine institutional change resulting from EMRI

Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade
Six Categories of EMRI
1. Energy Management Plan characterizes an agency’s organizational structure and energy management governance.
2. Engage Management assesses managerial involvement in an agency’s energy management practices.
3. Implementing Energy Management identifies procedures and practices for executing energy management and inquires about utilization of FEMP offerings.
4. Energy Review determines how energy information is reported, reviewed and used.
5. Measure Projects and Check Results describes how agency plan milestones are tracked and any hurdles in reporting.
6. Review for Continual Improvement and Recognition looks into creative and outside‐the‐box thinking for energy management.

EMRI Relationship to OMB Scorecard and eGuide
OMB Scorecard is used to show how well individual agencies are meeting Federal mandates, whereas EMRI is focused on helping agencies assess and improve their energy management practices.
DOE eGuide is designed to help organizations from all sectors (industrial, commercial, government, institutional, etc.) establish an energy management program that systematically improves organizational energy performance
• Levels of eGuide:
– Level 1 – Foundational Energy Management
– Level 2 – ISO 50001
– Level 3 – Superior Energy Performance (SEP), this level builds upon ISO 50001, providing guidance on the additional requirements to achieve DOE Superior Energy Performance®
• eGuide emphasizes a systematic, continual improvement approach to energy management that follows the proven Plan‐Do‐Check‐Act (PDCA) management structure.

ISO 50001 and EMRI
• ISO 50001 is an international Energy Management System standard that supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently
• It is based on the Plan‐Do‐Check‐Act structure to continual improvement
• The standard does not prescribe performance criteria or targets, however, requires an organization and facility to demonstrate continual energy performance improvement
• EMRI indicates opportunities to plan goals (specific performance criteria) and also as a “yardstick” to check progress (evaluation of categories)

Mission and Energy Management
Mission and energy management recommendations to help achieve energy goals: • Social Networks and Communications: Share examples of staff that
have changed their energy use patterns• Multiple Motivations: Ensure staff have numerous motivations for
change (carrots and possibly sticks), especially those that are linked to mission
• Leadership: Be visible and demonstrate desired behavior (lead by example)
• Commitment: Ask for specific and public energy goal commitments

Mission and Energy Management (cont’d)
• Information and Feedback: Provide tools and resources tailored to specific workplace situations and mission.
• Infrastructure: Change defaults—indoor temperature, printer settings, etc.—and provide motivations and incentives to use infrastructure more efficiently. Special status or benefits for van pool and public transportation users, for example.
• Social Empowerment: Involve people in program design and processes.
• Continual Change: Institutional change takes time, so plan for a multiyear process that creates, grows, and clones workplaces, processes, and products that build sustainability.
