National Park Service Energy & Water Audits and Sustainability Assessments Pacific West Region, Intermountain Region, Midwest Region The National Park Service has recently initiated an agencywide program to conduct energy and water audits and complete sustainability assessments in its parks as the first step of a comprehensive plan to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and power and water consumption throughout its parks. The work is being completed in general accordance with Section 432 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and according to the Department of Energy’s Facility Energy Management Guidelines and Criteria for Energy and Water Evaluations in covered facilities. The work is also intended to serve as a tool in evaluating progress and planning per Executive Orders 13423 and 13514. Facility Engineering Associates (FEA) completed energy and water audits and sustainability assessments of over 660 buildings at eight national parks: Death Valley National Park, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, and Zion National Park. FEA was also recently awarded a ninth park: San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park. As part of the audits, FEA analyzed the energy and water consumption across all types of buildings and use categories and recommended various Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) that included both capital projects and building operational measures and fleet management procedures.
