Such energy analysis shall include— 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 11. 12 13 14 15 16 (A) an evaluation of two or more energy system alternatives; (B) the simulation of each energy system over the anticipated range of operation of the building for a year's operating period considering the variable occupancy and operating levels of the building, including illumination levels; (C) the evaluation of the energy consumption of component equipment in each energy system considering the operation of such components at both full and part load conditions as well as rated outputs; and (D) the consideration of energy management procedures. (3) Energy-economic analysis shall include considera17 tion of (A) the economic aspects of the energy utilization analysis performed for such building pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection; (B) the initial cost of each energy-consuming sys tem being compared and evaluated; (C) the cost of maintaining and operating each energy-consuming system including the cost of all utilities; 1 2 3 4 པ་ 6 7 8 9 (D) the average replacement cost for each energy consuming system for the economic life of the building; (E) the coordination and positioning of the building on its physical site; and (F) the building composition and configuration, including the amount and type of fenestration and the amount of insulation incorporated in the building. (c) The energy consuming system or combination of 9 systems shall be selected for each major Federal building 10 and each federally assisted major building, taking into con11 sideration the energy-economic analysis performed for such 12 building under this section. 13 (d) Estimates of the utilization, including specific data 14 relating to the consumption, efficiency, and cost, of energy 15 for a building shall be included in any prospectus submitted 16 by a Federal agency to the Congress, including any pros17 pectus submitted by the Administrator of General Services 18 to the Committee on Public Works of the Senate and House 19 of Representatives under section 7 of the Public Buildings 20 Act of 1959, as amended. 21 (e) In the selection of locations for new Federal and 22 federally assisted buildings the Administrator of General 23 Services and Federal agencies shall consider the proximity 24 of such buildings to existing and planned mass transit 10 (f) Nothing in this Act shall preclude the demonstra 2 tion of experimental energy systems. 3 4 FEDERAL PROCUREMENT SEC. 6. The Administrator of General Services, in con 5 sultation with the Director of the Office of Federal Procure 6 10 ment Policy and the Administrator of the Federal Energy 7 Administration, is directed to make a study and survey of all 8 Federal agency procurement in excess of $10,000, from the 9 viewpoint of energy conservation, and report not later than one year after enactment of this Act to the President and 11 to the appropriate committees of the Congress the results 12 of such study and survey, together with such recommenda13 tions as he may have of measures to assure that energy con14 servation is a major consideration in Federal agency pro15 curement policies and practices. 17 SEC. 7. (a) The Administrator of General Services shall 18 prepare and submit an annual report to the Congress on his 19 activities under this Act. Each such report shall include a 20 description of equipment, methods of construction, and op21 erating practices used to achieve energy conservation, and 22 shall also include comparisons of energy consumption and 23 costs for buildings in which such equipment, methods, or 24 practices are and are not used. 25 (b) Each Federal agency shall conduct an inventory 11 and examination of buildings under its custody or control and report to the Congress, not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act, on improvements that can be or are being made to assure that such buildings will utilize the best practicable energy management practices for the conservation of energy: Provided, however, That the Administrator of General Services may coordinate such inventory and examination of buildings and prepare a consolidated report to the Congress pursuant to this subsection. AUTHORIZATION SEC. 8. There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out the purposes of this Act not to exceed $7,500,000. 94TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 2095 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES JULY 10, 1975 Mr. Gary W.
