April in Paris - Embassy Green League Workshop

The Embassy Green League Workshop was held April 13, 2010 in Paris and provided over 100 participants including Senior Foreign Commercial Officers, Management Counselors, General Services Officers, and Facility Managers an opportunity to meet with State Department, ESCO contractors, and U.S. technology providers. ESCOs are authorized to submit proposals directly to State. After the ESCO is selected, there is an energy audit report, followed by design specification according to OBO design standards, with a security plan, shipping, on site storage, cleared personnel, and an on-site project director. During the performance phase, a third party contractor is hired to conduct a measurement and value analysis (M&V) to determine energy savings and payback on capital costs. Post can request bundling of projects.
