waiver does not prohibit use of AFC-43 money for projects below the ,000 threshold
but rather makes available another potential source of energy project funds.
b.
Building/System Audits and Funding. Funding for building/systems audits as defined in
this instruction is available from the FEEF. Audits may be funded from the FEEF ill
excess of ,000. MLCs shall support efforts to develop Coast Guard audit teams on
each coast. Often the largest and most immediate savings are achieved by changing
facilities operational or maintenance policies and procedures or by making low cost
facilities or equipment investments. These ECOs are most often identified through
building/systems audits and should be pursued immediately.
c.
FEEF Request Process. Requests for FEEF projects are annually solicited by
Commandant (G-SEC-1). MLCs/HQ units shall submit data for potential projects, audits,
and retrofits within the established deadline for consideration of available funding.
Specific project information requirements are published with the solicitation and normally
will include facility/unit description, proposed retrofit, estimated cost, and estimated
annual savings in both dollars and energy units.
d.
Approval. FEEF projects/audits are prioritized by Commandant (G-SEC) and assigned a
specific LUFS twelve character project number that remains as that project's unique
identifier. A recommendation for funding is made to the Coast Guard Energy Program
Manager. If approved, funds are transferred from the Headquarters FEEF project account
to a specified receiving account and program element as specified by the ATU via a Funds
Transfer Authorization (FTA). The LUFS assigned project number and the project
description will be cited on the FTA. Once funds are received, MLCs/HQ units will
ensure entry of LUFS data and submit to Headquarters quarterly, and/or upon project
completion, transaction summary reports of funded projects. All procurement documents,
purchase orders, background and supplemental data relating to the approved energy project
will be locally held for three years past project completion and will be subject to periodic
audit review. Project completion status and measurement of energy savings from these
projects should be submitted at regular intervals as prescribed by the Shore Facilities
Energy Manager
e.
Incentive Program. Recognizing that proactive participation by individual units are critical
to the successful implementation of a viable energy program, MLCs/HQ units are directed
to prototype incentive programs for both operational units and shore facilities. The
programs shall be designed to return a portion of documented AFC-30 energy savings
(from an established baseline usage) to the Operating and Maintenance (O&M) accounts
of units which are active in implementing aggressive or innovative energy
conservation/retrofit measures. Report to Headquarters, units chosen for prototype,
highlight/summarize the incentive process initiated, and
