Energy ACT 2005

Developed over four years, and over 1,700 pages long, the recently signed Energy Policy Act of 2005 extends previous Congressional direction to facility managers with even greater goals of energy efficiency improvements in existing and new facilities, increased use of renewable energy sources, advanced utility metering, and procurement of energy efficient equipment in all applicable contracts. This legislation is brand new and contains energy efficiency tax credits and new ways to retain savings. It changes the face of the energy business in both public and private sectors throughout the country.
