FDA Construction Project Serves as a Super ESPC Model
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated an $890 million energy-saving construction project at the site of its new headquarters—a 1940s-era Navy base in White Oak, Maryland. Using a wide range of energy efficiency measures and solar energy, it has led to one of the largest Super Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC).
Watch the video modules below to learn more about this successful Super ESPC project. And find out how you can apply the FDA's energy management performance model to your federal agency's construction or building renovation project.
