**(a) Energy performance requirement for Federal buildings**
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), each agency shall apply energy conservation measures to, and shall improve the design for the construction of, the Federal buildings of the agency (including each industrial or laboratory facility) so that the energy consumption per gross square foot of the Federal buildings of the agency in fiscal years 2006 through 2015 is reduced, as compared with the energy consumption per gross square foot of the Federal buildings of the agency in fiscal year 2003, by the percentage specified in the following table: Fiscal YearPercentage Reduction 20062 20074 20089 200912 201015 201118 201221 201324 201427 201530.
(2) An agency may exclude from the requirements of paragraph (1) any building, and the associated energy consumption and gross square footage, in which energy intensive activities are carried out. Each agency shall identify and list in each report made under [section 8258(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8258/a&num=0&edition=prelim) the buildings designated by it for such exclusion.

**(a) In general** The Postmaster General shall issue regulations to ensure the reliable and accurate accounting of energy consumption costs for all buildings or facilities which it owns, leases, operates, or manages. Such regulations shall—
(1) establish a monitoring system to determine which facilities are the most costly to operate on an energy consumption per square foot basis or other relevant analytical basis;
(2) identify unusual or abnormal changes in energy consumption; and
(3) check the accuracy of utility charges for electricity and gas consumption.
**(b) Identification of energy efficiency products** The Postmaster General shall actively undertake a program to identify and procure energy efficiency products for use in its facilities. In carrying out this subsection, the Postmaster General shall, to the maximum extent practicable, incorporate energy efficient information available on Federal Supply Schedules maintained by the General Services Administration and the Defense Logistics Agency.

**(a) Guidelines** Not later than 120 days after October 24, 1992, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in cooperation with the Secretary, the Administrator of General Services, and the Secretary of Defense, shall establish guidelines to be employed by each Federal agency to assess accurate energy consumption for all buildings or facilities which the agency owns, operates, manages or leases, where the Government pays utilities separate from the lease and the Government operates the leased space. Such guidelines are to be used in reports required under [section 8258 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8258&num=0&edition=prelim). Each agency shall implement such guidelines no later than 120 days after their establishment. Each facility energy manager shall maintain energy consumption and energy cost records for review by the Inspector General, the Congress, and the general public.
**(b) Contents of guidelines** Such guidelines shall include the establishment of a monitoring system to determine—
(1) which facilities are the most costly to operate when measured on an energy consumption per square foot basis or other relevant analytical basis;
(2) unusual or abnormal changes in energy consumption; and
(3) the accuracy of utility charges for electric and gas consumption.
**(c) Federally leased space energy reporting requirement** The Administrator of General Services shall include, in each report submitted under [section 8262a of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8262a&num=0&edition=prelim), the estimated energy cost of leased buildings or space in which the Federal Government does not directly pay the utility bills.
