GSA, DOE, FEMP, and Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) convened a
charrette at GSA offices in Washington, D.C. on March 4, 2013 to
explore opportunities for deep energy retrofit ESPCs. The goals
of the charrette were to:
1. Solicit input from energy service companies (ESCOs) on
achieving deep retrofits and provide an opportunity for
open discussion, continuing the process that began at the
2011 Boulder charrette;
2. Discuss barriers and solutions to “raise the bar” on energy
savings provided through ESPCs;
3. Develop a list of lessons learned and best practices to
increase the potential cost savings across the GSA portfolio;
4. Renew enthusiasm at the agency and ESCOs.
