Outreach

Energy Awareness Poster: We're finding ways to - BE RESOURCEFUL
October is Energy Awareness Month. This year's theme promotes smart energy choices and highlights supporting our economy, protecting our environment, and increasing energy independence.

FEMP spreads the word about energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water saving strategies through a wide variety of publications, on-line resources, recognition and award programs, and workshops. FEMP's outreach efforts provide ideas and encouragement to all Federal employees striving to save energy and make a difference.

FEMP Focus

The FEMP Focus newsletter, published four times a year, provides timely articles on effective partnerships, energy and renewable projects, policy guidance, and special events, among other topics. With circulation of 10,000, this newsletter also contains information on who to contact for more information and assistance at DOE's Headquarters, Regional Offices, and national laboratories, as well as Federal and non-governmental organizations.

Help Desk & Web Site

FEMP produces a wide variety of print publications, thousands of which are distributed each year through the EERE Information Center. Energy managers may call the toll free number (877-337-3463) to request these publications or to get answers to questions about Federal energy management. FEMP's Web site is a virtual library of updated resources and provides information on FEMP services. Customers can order FEMP publications online and view and download information.

Annual Energy Workshop & Exposition

FEMP's annual workshop and exposition, co-sponsored by the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration, offers a great opportunity to share information and network. Speakers, demonstrations, and exhibits convey the latest energy management strategies to hundreds of attendees from both the public and private sectors. In addition to this annual workshop, FEMP offers TeleFEMP broadcast videos to provide education and periodic updates.

You Have the Power

FEMP's You Have the Power awareness campaign was created to honor, inspire, and encourage Federal energy leadership. Twenty of the largest Federal agencies participate, and each has a special coordinator who directs the national campaign for his or her agency. The campaign disseminates timely and topical information through handouts, posters, special publications, and other targeted outreach materials. The program also recognizes outstanding accomplishments of Federal Energy Champions—government employees who are making extraordinary contributions to save energy, money, and resources, and who serve as role models for fellow employees.

Awards and Recognition

FEMP honors numerous individuals, teams, and organizations for their outstanding achievements through the prestigious Federal Energy and Water Management Awards and the new Presidential Awards for Energy Management Success, presented in cooperation with the Office of Management and Budget. FEMP also organizes the annual Federal Energy Saver Showcase Awards program to recognize a variety of outstanding Federal projects that demonstrate innovative strategies, technologies, and products.

Earth Day

Earth Day, celebrated each year on April 22, is a prime occasion for federal agencies to promote energy-saving and environmentally friendly practices at their facilities. FEMP helps federal agencies in this effort by providing posters and other promotional materials featuring special Earth Day messages.

Energy Awareness Month

Each October our nation celebrates Energy Awareness Month to remind us of the importance of saving energy. Not only does saving energy help foster a healthier planet, it also enhances our national security by reducing our dependence on energy supplies from other countries. FEMP helps federal agencies increase the awareness of energy-saving benefits at federal facilities by providing promotional materials featuring Energy Awareness Month.
