Optimized Building Design

Optimized building design maximizes a federal building's performance by lowering energy consumption. The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides tools, technical assistance, and resources to help agencies construct and maintain energy-efficient buildings.

In the data center, water rushes through tubes and computer racks, providing a warm-water cooling system and keeping the high-performance computers from overheating.
