Summary
Executive Order 48 (EO-48) states that "the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy
(DMME) shall maintain a system to monitor and report on progress made by state agencies
toward reducing from its 2006 baseline energy costs and consumption for state-owned facilities,
and provide a report at least annually on its website." DMME has coordinated with Agency
Energy Managers (AEM's) in obtaining FY 2007 energy cost data. To assist AEM's with
reporting energy costs in their facilities, an Excel spreadsheet was developed and made available
to state agencies to report their associated energy costs.
Of the 154 state agencies, 90 are located in state owned facilities, while the remaining 64 are
housed in leased office space and not required to report. Of the 90 agencies in state owned
facilities 38 have reported progress toward meeting their energy cost reduction goals. These
agencies cumulatively have avoided energy costs of over $7.5 million, this is approximately 23%
of the 2010 energy cost avoidance goal of 32 million dollars.
In addition to reporting and tracking energy costs by agency, DMME in coordination with the
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), is also calculating a reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) based on the reported energy savings. The tables
on page three and four show an agency's energy cost reduction goal, progress toward achieving
that goal, and the CO2 greenhouse gas avoidance. To date, agencies have avoided over 192
million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of the energy efficiency improvements
taking place across all Commonwealth state-owned facilities.
Reports submitted by Agencies show significant energy cost reductions are being achieved.
Some agencies have shown less energy cost reductions over the reporting period, possibly due to
aggressive energy conservation efforts in years prior to the start of the reporting period,
construction of energy intensive spaces, such as laboratory space, and building lower first cost
buildings with high operating energy usage have increased energy consumption in some
agencies.

Notes:
1. Weather was not a significant factor in energy costs changes between the FY06 and FY07 reporting period.
2. Electric rate increases overwhelmed the avoided cost for electricity in FY07.
3. Natural gas saw reduced commodity prices while heating oil saw increased commodity prices from FY06 to
FY07.
4. Natural gas, heating oil, and steam benefited from improved procurement methods and efficiency.
