Guide for Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings for Federal Agencies

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) developed this guide as a resource for building owners, energy and building managers, and others interested in implementing grid-interactive efficient building (GEB) strategies and technologies through retrofits. The guide provides an overview of GEB characteristics and benefits and how to analyze, identify, and implement GEB retrofit opportunities.

This report also provides insights into key GEB stakeholders, identifying utility programs for GEBs, financing GEBs, and suggestions for potential no- and low-cost GEB upgrades. Additional GEB case studies, resources, and a full list of GEB technologies are provided at the end of the report.
