The FBI Washington Field Office has reduced its winter energy consumption by 9.5%. This will save almost $82,000 during cool weather and over $158,000 annually. The GSA's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has funded energy efficiency improvements for federal buildings that help save energy during harsh winters. Even when heating demands are high, these facilities experience efficiency gains. A study of 59 federal buildings found that the average EUI of the analyzed facilities was 5.5% lower over the winter of FY 2014 than FY 2008, the last winter before the ARRA was implemented.
