Project Grant DESE0001036

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $5,000,000 Project Grant under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) to the General Services Administration Greater Southwest Finance Center (GSA GSFC) for the electrification of heating and domestic hot water services at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The project will install a combination of heat pumps and supplemental electric boilers, resulting in an estimated annual reduction of 2,459 metric tons of CO2 emissions, in addition to the 12,932 metric tons already achieved through an existing energy savings performance contract. This project serves as a blueprint for the electrification of other GSA buildings, supporting the federal government's goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable building operations.
