SEC. 503. ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS REQUIRED.

  The authorization of amounts under this Act and the amendments made 
by this Act shall be effective for any fiscal year only to the extent 
and in the amount provided in advance in appropriations Acts.

                                Purpose

    The purpose of S. 1000 is to promote energy savings in 
residential and commercial buildings and industry, and in 
Federal, local, and Tribal governments.

                          Background and Need

    Since the 1973 oil embargo and every subsequent energy 
crisis, studies have shown that the United States could save 
energy and money by investing in energy efficiency. Today, 
efficient energy use and energy technologies are critical to 
U.S. job creation and competitiveness. In addition, efficient 
energy use reduces CO2 emissions and other 
pollutants. Yet many existing energy efficiency technologies 
and programs have not been installed or implemented.
    The National Academies released a study in 2010 on the 
potential for energy efficiency in commercial and residential 
buildings, transportation, and manufacturing (Real Prospects 
for Energy Efficiency in the United States). The study found 
that the potential for increasing energy efficiency is enormous 
and could more than offset the Energy Information 
Administration's projected increases in U.S. consumption 
through 2030.
    The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 
2011 sets out a national strategy to increase the use of energy 
efficiency technologies in the residential, commercial, 
federal, and industrial sectors of our economy. The legislation 
uses a variety of low-cost tools to reduce barriers for private 
sector efficiency investments and drive the adoption of off-
the-shelf technologies that will save money for consumers and 
businesses, make America more energy independent, and reduce 
emissions. Efficiency technologies are commercially available 
today, can be deployed in every state in the nation, and 
quickly pay for themselves through energy savings.
    Commercial and residential buildings combined consume 40 
percent of all energy used. The U.S. industrial sector consumes 
more energy than any other sector of our economy and the 
Federal Government is the largest single energy consumer in the 
U.S. S. 1000 targets these three sectors for an energy-
efficiency upgrade that will drive economic growth across all 
regions of the country.

                          Legislative History

    S. 1000 was introduced on May 16, 2011 by Senator Shaheen 
and Senator Portman, and cosponsored by Senator Coons and 
Senator Landrieu. The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 
held a legislative hearing on S. 1000 on June 9, 2011, and the 
bill was ordered favorably reported with an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute on July 14, 2011.
    Parts of S. 1000 are similar to legislation introduced in 
the 111th Congress. Title I, subtitle A, relating to building 
energy codes, and subtitle B, relating to worker training and 
capacity building, are similar to sections 241 and 243, 
respectively, of S. 1462 in the 111th Congress, the American 
Clean Energy Leadership Act of 2009, an original bill reported 
by the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on July 16, 
2009.
    S. Rept. 111-48. Title II, relating to building efficiency 
finance, is similar to S. 3780 in the 111th Congress, the 
Recovery Through Building Renovation Act of 2010, introduced by 
Senator Shaheen on September 14, 2010. Title III, subtitle A, 
relating to manufacturing energy efficiency, is similar to 
title II, subtitle A, of S. 1462 in the 111th Congress. Title 
III, subtitle B, relating to Supply Star, is similar to S. 3396 
in the 111th Congress, the Supply Star Act of 2010, introduced 
by Senator Bingaman on May 24, 2010. The Committee on Energy 
and Natural Resources (subcommittee on Energy) held a hearing 
on S. 3396 on June 15, 2010, S. Hrg. 111-699, and reported it 
favorably on September 27, 2010. S. Rept. 111-319.

            Committee Recommendation and Tabulation of Votes

    The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in 
open business session on July 14, 2011, by majority vote of a 
quorum present recommends that the Senate pass S. 1000, if 
amended as described herein.
    The rollcall vote on reporting the measure was 18 yeas and 
3 nays as follows:
        YEAS                          NAYS

                          Committee Amendment

    During its consideration of S. 1000, the Committee approved 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The substitute 
amendment makes numerous changes in the bill as originally 
introduced, principally, by deleting subtitle B of title I, 
relating to appliance standards (which the Committee separately 
reported as S. 398 on May 18, 2011); deleting section 201, 
relating to the rural energy savings program; adding a new 
subtitle D to title III, establishing an energy efficient 
transformer rebate program; adding authorization offsets; and 
reducing amounts authorized to be appropriated. In addition, 
during the consideration of the substitute, the Committee 
adopted an amendment to section 304 of the Energy Conservation 
and Production Act (as amended by section 1010(a) of the 
substitute), relating to building energy efficiency codes, 
which makes it clear that nothing in section 304 requires a 
State, local government, or Indian tribe to adopt a national 
model building code or standard established under section 304.

                      Section-By-Section Analysis


                           TITLE I--BUILDINGS

Subtitle A--Building energy codes

    Section 101(a) amends section 304 of the Energy 
Conservation and Production Act (ECPA) (42 U.S.C. 6833), 
relating to state building energy efficiency codes.
    ECPA section 304(a)(1), as amended, directs the Secretary 
of Energy to support the development of national model energy 
codes to enable the achievement of energy savings targets. The 
Secretary is directed to work with States, Indian Tribes, 
nationally recognized codes and standards developers, and 
others to establish 1 or more aggregate energy savings targets 
to achieve the purposes of this section, and to encourage state 
and local adoption of the codes and full compliance with the 
State and local codes.
    ECPA section 304(a)(2) directs the Secretary to support 
updating of the model energy codes for residential buildings 
and commercial buildings from the baseline of 2009 IECC for 
residential buildings and ASHRAE standards 90.1-2010. Targets 
for specific years are to be established by the Secretary 
though rulemaking and coordinated with nationally recognized 
codes and standards and are to promote the achievement of high 
performance buildings through high performance efficiency. The 
Secretary may consider factors affecting building energy use 
and economic considerations including a return on investment 
analysis in setting the targets.
    ECPA section 304(a)(3) directs the Secretary to provide 
technical assistance to model codes and standards 
organizations. The assistance is to include evaluating codes or 
standards, proposals, or revisions; building energy analysis 
and design tools; building demonstrations; developing 
definitions of energy use intensity and building types; 
performance-based standards; evaluating economic 
considerations, and developing model codes by Indian tribes. In 
addition, the Secretary may submit amendment proposals to 
enable the code or standard to meet its targets.
    ECPA section 304(a)(4) sets forth the procedures for 
revising model building codes and standards, and for addressing 
codes or standards that do not meet the targets, or codes and 
standards that have not been updated, and if necessary, the 
Secretary may establish a modified national building energy 
code.
    ECPA section 304(a)(5) requires the Secretary to publish 
notice of targets, determinations, and national model building 
energy codes in the Federal Register with the explanation of 
and the basis for such actions. The Secretary shall also 
provide an opportunity for public comment on targets, 
determination, and codes under this section.
    ECPA section 304(b) requires that, within 2 years of the 
establishment of national model building codes, States and 
Indian tribes certify whether they have updated their codes, 
and whether the codes meet the revised model code or achieve 
equivalent of greater energy savings. Within 90 days of the 
State or tribe's certification, the Secretary must determine 
whether the state or tribal code meets the revised model code, 
and if so, validate the certification.
    ECPA section 304(c) provides that 3 years after the date of 
a certification under subsection (b), each State and Indian 
Tribe must certify whether it has achieved full compliance or 
made significant progress toward achieving compliance, and 
shall repeat the certification until the State or Indian tribe 
has achieved full compliance. The section describes measurement 
of compliance and the achievement of compliance, including 
annual targets for compliance and active training and 
enforcement.
    ECPA section 304(d)(1) provides that a State or Indian 
tribe that does not meet its targets shall submit a report to 
the Secretary on the status of meeting the requirements and 
submitting the certification and a plan for meeting the 
requirements and submitting the certification.
    ECPA section 304(d)(2) states that any State or Indian 
tribe for which the Secretary has not acted on a certification 
by a deadline under subsection (b) or (c) may be ineligible for 
Federal support authorized under section 304 for code adoption 
and compliance activities.
    ECPA section 304(d)(3) provides that a local government may 
be eligible for Federal support by meeting the certification 
requirements of subsections (b) and (c).
    ECPA section 304(e) and (f) direct the Secretary to provide 
technical assistance to States and Indian tribes to implement 
the requirements of this section.
    ECPA section 304(g) directs the Secretary to provide 
technical and financial support for Stretch Codes and Advanced 
Standards.
    ECPA section 304(h) authorizes studies of code 
improvements.
    ECPA section 304(i) states that notwithstanding any other 
purpose of this section, any model building code or standard 
established in this section shall not be binding on a state 
established on a State, local government, or Indian tribe as a 
matter of Federal law.
    ECPA section 304(j) authorizes appropriations of 
$200,000,000 to carry out the section.
    Section 101(b) amends section 303 of the Energy 
Conservation and Production Act to add definitions of ``IECC'' 
(the International Energy Conservation Code) and ``Indian 
Tribe,'' which is given the same meaning given the term in 
section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Act of 1996.

Subtitle B--Worker training and capacity building

    Section 111 directs the Secretary to establish Building 
Training and Assessment Centers at institutions of higher 
learning, modeled after the Department of Energy's Industrial 
Assessment Centers. These centers would identify and promote 
opportunities, concepts, and technologies for enhancing 
building energy and environmental performance. They would train 
engineers, architects, building scientists, building permitting 
and enforcement officials, and technicians; assist other 
institutions to train building technicians; promote research 
and development in clean energy technologies for buildings; and 
coordinate services with technical training centers, community 
colleges, and other relevant offices and institutions.

                 TITLE II--BUILDING EFFICIENCY FINANCE

    Section 201 amends Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 
2005 by adding a new Building Retrofit Financing Program. This 
program would provide credit guarantees to reduce financing 
risk for commercial and institutional building energy 
efficiency projects. The range of financing mechanisms that 
could be supported by this program would be very broad and 
would include loans, power purchase agreements, energy service 
agreements (e.g., energy service performance contracts), 
property-assessed clean energy bonds or similar tax assessment-
based programs, and aggregate on-meter agreements. $400 million 
would be authorized to be appropriated for the period of fiscal 
years 2012-2021, and would remain available until expended.

          TITLE III--INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY AND COMPETITIVENESS

Subtitle A--Manufacturing energy efficiency

    Section 301 directs the Secretary to carry out a revolving 
loan program under which loans are provided to commercial and 
industrial manufacturers to implement commercially available 
technologies or processes that reduce energy intensity and 
improve the industrial competitiveness of the United States. 
The Secretary would provide grants to eligible lenders to pay 
part of the cost of revolving loan programs to enable 
commercial and industrial manufacturers to adopt commercially 
available technologies. Eligible lenders must be community and 
economic development lenders that lead a partnership that 
includes a state government agency and a private provider of 
capital. Federal funds for an eligible lender will be capped at 
$100,000,000 for any fiscal year, and must be cost matched by 
non-Federal funds at least dollar-for-dollar.
    Section 302 directs the Secretary to establish 
collaborative research and development partnerships, as 
appropriate, with other research and development programs in 
the Department. Such research shall support the use of 
innovative manufacturing processes and applied research for new 
technologies and processes to improve efficiency, reduce waste, 
and improve industrial cost-competitiveness.
    Section 303(a) directs the Secretary to begin an assessment 
of commercially available, cost-competitive energy efficiency 
technologies that are not widely implemented within the United 
States for following energy intensive industries: steel, 
aluminum, forest and paper products, food processing, metal 
casting, glass, chemicals, petroleum refining, cement, 
information and communication, and other energy intensive 
industries (as determined by the Secretary).
    Section 303(b) directs the Secretary to publish a report 
based on the assessment in subsection (a) and in collaboration 
with the affected energy-intensive industries, not later than 1 
year after the date of enactment of this Act. The report shall 
include estimates of the benefits of adopting the cost-
competitive technologies, comparisons with other appropriate 
countries, recommendations on creating jobs, and energy 
savings.
    Section 304 amends section 452 of the Energy Independence 
and Security Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 17111). Subsection (a) 
amends the section heading.
    Section 304(b) adds a definition of the term ``Energy 
Service Provider'' to EISA section 452(a).
    Section 304(c) directs the Secretary through the Industrial 
Technologies Program and in collaboration with industry to 
establish a road mapping process for conducting industry 
specific studies on the intensity of energy use, greenhouse gas 
emissions, and operating costs.
    Section 304(d) directs the Secretary to establish Centers 
of Excellence at up to 10 industrial research and assessment 
centers (IACs). The IACs would coordinate and partner with the 
Manufacturing Extension Partnership at NIST, existing IACs, and 
DOE industrial programs. They would perform outreach to small 
and medium-sized manufacturers and identify greenhouse gas 
reduction opportunities. The Secretary shall pay the Federal 
share for internship programs under which students work for 
industries and manufacturers. Subject to availability, each 
Center would receive funding of not less than $500,000 per 
fiscal year.
    Section 305(a) amends part E of title III of the Energy 
Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6341) by adding a new 
section 376, which establishes a sustainable manufacturing 
initiative under the Department of Energy Industrial 
Technologies program to provide onsite technical assessments to 
manufacturers. The assessments would identify opportunities to 
maximize energy efficiency, prevent pollution, minimize waste, 
and conserve water in the manufacturing process.
    Section 306 directs the Secretary to contract with the 
National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study of the 
development of advanced manufacturing capabilities for 
improvements in supply chains. The study would analyze the 
history, current trends, and opportunities for improvements in 
supply chains. It would analyze for each technology or 
manufacturing sector the most critical parts of the supply 
chain for competitiveness, assess emerging energy technologies, 
and provide recommendations on leveraging energy efficiency and 
renewable energy user facilities.
    Section 307 directs the Secretary to establish an advisory 
steering committee including national trade associations 
representing energy-intensive industries to provide 
recommendations to the Secretary on planning and implementation 
of the Industrial Technologies Program.

Subtitle B--Supply Star

    Section 311 amends part B of title III of the Energy Policy 
and Conservation Act is amended to establish a Supply Star 
program within the Department of Energy to identify practices, 
companies, and products that use highly efficient supply 
chains. The program would promote existing efficient supply 
chain practices in a manner that conserves energy, water, and 
other resources. The program would collect and disseminate 
relevant data and metrics. The Department would share best 
practices, provide benchmarking opportunities, and support 
professional training, among other initiatives. The program 
would coordinate efforts with the Energy Star program. The 
final subsection authorizes the appropriation $10,000,000 for 
the period of fiscal years 2012 through 2021 to carry out this 
section.

Subtitle C--Electric motor rebate program

    Section 321 directs the Secretary to establish a rebate 
program to create an incentive for the purchase of new constant 
speed electric motor controls that reduce a motor's energy use 
by at least 5 percent. The rebate would be worth $25 per 
horsepower of the motor. Subsection (c) authorizes 
appropriation of $5 million for this provision for each fiscal 
year 2012 through 2016.

               TITLE IV--FEDERAL AGENCY ENERGY EFFICIENCY

    Section 401 requires Federal Agencies to develop a plan for 
adopting personal computer power savings techniques.
    Section 402 allows the Administrator of General Services to 
use appropriated funding to update plans for any project that 
has been approved by Congress and for which construction has 
not begun. The funds would be used to update the building 
design to meet energy efficiency standards established in the 
Energy Conservation and Production Act. Funds used for this 
purpose could not exceed 125 percent of the estimate energy or 
other cost savings resulting from the design changes.
    Section 403 requires Federal agencies to create an 
implementation plan, updated annually, for how each agency will 
achieve the energy conservation requirement under the National 
Energy Conservation Policy Act, including designating personnel 
responsible for achieving the requirements. The Secretary of 
Energy shall develop and issue an annual best-practices report 
on advanced metering in Federal Facilities in collaboration 
with the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of General 
Services.
    Section 404 would, for required facilities, direct energy 
managers to use a web-based tracking system to certify 
compliance with energy and water requirements and to provide 
implementation of energy and water measures to reduce 
consumption.
    Section 405 would expand the definition of energy or water 
conservation measure in the National Energy Conservation Policy 
Act to include measures that support the use of electric 
vehicles and their necessary fueling and charging 
infrastructure as part of an energy savings contract.
    Section 406 would amend the Federal renewable purchase 
requirement in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to include thermal 
as well as electric renewable electricity. Further, the section 
would require calculation of renewable energy production at 
Federal facilities, on Federal land, and on Indian lands and 
allow such production to count toward compliance with the 
Federal renewable purchase requirement.
    Section 407 requires the Secretary to coordinate with 
program and facility managers to conduct a feasibility study on 
government-wide data centers with the intention of closing a 
minimum of 800 Federal data centers. The Secretary shall 
provide a report to Congress on the results of the study.

                         TITLE V--MISCELLANEOUS

    Section 501 provides offsets for the authorizations in the 
bill.
    Section 502 states that the budgetary effects of the bill 
under the Statutory Pay-as-You-Go regulations shall be 
determined by the latest statement on the bill.
    Section 503 specifies that authorizations for 
appropriations shall apply only if such sums are actually 
appropriated.

                   Cost and Budgetary Considerations

    The following estimate of costs of this measure has been 
provided by the Congressional Budget Office:

S. 1000--Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011

    Summary: S. 1000 would authorize appropriations to support 
a variety of activities aimed at promoting energy efficiency in 
certain sectors of the economy. Assuming appropriation of the 
authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1000 
would have a net discretionary cost of $1.2 billion over the 
2012-2016 period. S. 1000 could affect direct spending; 
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, 
however, that any such effects would be insignificant in any 
given year. Enacting S. 1000 would not affect revenues.
    S. 1000 would impose an intergovernmental mandate, as 
defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), by 
requiring states to certify to the Department of Energy (DOE) 
whether or not they have updated residential and commercial 
building codes to meet standards developed by building 
efficiency organizations. CBO estimates that the cost of that 
mandate would fall well below the annual threshold established 
in UMRA ($71 million in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation). 
The bill contains no private-sector mandates as defined in 
UMRA.
    Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated 
budgetary impact of S. 1000 is shown in the following table. 
The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 270 
(energy).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Basis of estimate: S. 1000 would have a net discretionary 
cost of $1.2 billion over the next five years, assuming 
appropriation action consistent with the bill. The bill also 
could affect direct spending, but CBO estimates that any such 
effects would not be significant in any of the next 10 years.

Spending subject to appropriation

    S. 1000 would authorize appropriations for a variety of 
programs and activities aimed at promoting energy efficiency, 
particularly within residential and commercial buildings and 
the industrial sector. The bill also would reduce several 
existing authorizations of appropriations for related 
activities. Taken as a whole, CBO estimates that implementing 
S. 1000 would have a net discretionary cost of $1.2 billion 
over the 2012-2016 period.
    New Authorizations. S. 1000 would specifically authorize 
appropriations totaling $2.7 billion over the 2012-2016 period 
for DOE to carry out a variety of activities directed toward 
improving the energy efficiency of buildings and industrial 
systems. That specified amount includes:
           $2 billion for grants to nonfederal lenders 
        to support efforts by industrial and commercial 
        manufacturers to improve their energy efficiency;
           $400 million to cover the federal 
        government's cost of providing certain types of credit 
        support for projects to upgrade the energy efficiency 
        of existing buildings that are privately owned;
           $200 million to establish national 
        construction codes related to the energy efficiency of 
        residential and commercial buildings and to provide 
        technical assistance related to such codes;
           $20 million to provide rebates to purchasers 
        of certain energy-efficient transformers and devices 
        that reduce energy consumed by motors;
           $20 million for grants and other incentives 
        to improve the efficiency of processes involved in the 
        production and distribution of products; and
           $10 million for onsite assessments of the 
        energy efficiency of manufacturing processes.
    In addition, CBO estimates that implementing other 
provisions of S. 1000 that direct DOE to expand ongoing efforts 
by DOE and the General Services Administration (GSA) related to 
building technologies and industrial energy efficiency would 
require appropriations totaling $256 million over the 2012-2016 
period. Most of that amount would be used by GSA to update 
building designs and implement projects to meet certain energy-
efficiency requirements.
    In total, assuming appropriation of amounts specified and 
estimated to be necessary, CBO estimates that implementing S. 
1000 would have a gross cost of almost $2.2 billion over the 
2012-2016 period, with additional outlays occurring in later 
years. That estimate is based on historical spending patterns 
for activities similar to those authorized under S. 1000.
    Reduced Authorizations. To offset a portion of increased 
discretionary spending, S. 1000 would reduce some existing 
authorizations of appropriations for DOE programs to support a 
variety of grants, incentives, and initiatives related to 
industrial energy efficiency and building technologies. In 
total, S. 1000 would reduce amounts authorized to be 
appropriated by $975 million over the 2012-2013 period. 
Assuming future appropriations are reduced accordingly, CBO 
estimates that implementing S. 1000 would result in $944 
million less in discretionary spending for those programs over 
the 2012-2016 period.

Direct spending

    S. 1000 would amend title 17 of the Energy Policy Act of 
2005 (title 17), which authorizes DOE to guarantee loans for 
certain types of energy projects. Specifically, the bill would 
authorize DOE to provide various forms of credit enhancements 
to support projects to install certain types of energy-
efficient or renewable energy technologies in private and 
public buildings--including federal buildings. (Credit 
enhancements are actions that improve the credit worthiness of 
a project.) The bill does not define the types of credit 
enhancements that DOE could provide. Any transactions related 
to issuing or guaranteeing debt would be subject to provisions 
of the Federal Credit Reform Act (FCRA) that would prohibit DOE 
from making any obligations without an up-front appropriation 
to cover the subsidy cost of such arrangements. For purposes of 
this estimate, CBO assumes that any spending for other forms of 
credit enhancements--for example, grants or payments to project 
sponsors--would also be subject to appropriation.
    CBO also estimates, however, that implementing the proposed 
program could affect direct spending in two ways. First, S. 
1000 would authorize DOE to proceed with loan guarantees in 
cases where borrowers pay upfront fees to cover anticipated 
subsidy costs. Normally, DOE's authority to guarantee such 
loans would be subject to limits specified in annual 
appropriation acts; however, previously enacted appropriation 
laws have already authorized DOE to guarantee loans under title 
17. CBO does not expect all of that authority to be used by 
existing programs over the 10-year period covered by this 
estimate; therefore, a portion of it could be used to guarantee 
loans under S. 1000. Any resulting net change in the timing of 
outlays stemming from existing authority would be considered 
direct spending. However, based on information from DOE about 
the relatively small amount of loan volume remaining--$400 
million--CBO estimates that any change in direct spending 
resulting from the subsidy cost of using that authority would 
be insignificant.
    Finally, CBO expects that authorizing DOE to provide credit 
enhancements could result in a marginal increase in federal 
agencies' use of certain types of contracts and agreements that 
support energy-efficiency projects. Under current law, federal 
agencies have a variety of long-term contracting tools--
including energy savings performance contracts, power purchase 
agreements, and enhanced-use leases--that support projects 
undertaken by nonfederal parties. In some cases, the added 
benefit of federal credit enhancements provided under S. 1000 
could improve the economic viability of marginal projects, 
increasing the probability that they proceed. In those cases, 
CBO expects that credit enhancements provided under S. 1000 
could result in an increased use of agencies' underlying 
contracting authorities, which are considered a form of direct 
spending. CBO estimates, however, that any additional direct 
spending stemming from such marginal changes in agencies' 
behavior would be insignificant in any year.
    Pay-As-You-Go considerations: Enacting S. 1000 could 
increase direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures 
apply. CBO estimates, however, that any such effects would be 
insignificant in each year and over the next 10 years.
    Estimated impact on State, local, and tribal governments: 
S. 1000 would impose an intergovernmental mandate, as defined 
in UMRA, by requiring states to certify to DOE whether or not 
they have updated residential and commercial building codes to 
meet standards developed by building efficiency organizations. 
Because the mandate cost would just be the cost to provide that 
certification (regardless of whether building codes are 
updated), CBO estimates that the cost of that mandate would 
fall well below the annual threshold established in UMRA ($71 
million in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation).
    Estimated impact on the private sector: This bill contains 
no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal costs: Megan Carroll, 
Kathleen Gramp, and Matthew Pickford; Impact on State, local, 
and tribal governments: Ryan Miller; Impact on the private 
sector: Amy Petz.
    Estimate approved by: Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.

                      Regulatory Impact Evaluation

    In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following 
evaluation of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in 
carrying out S. 1000.
    S. 1000 directs the Secretary of Energy to support the 
development of national model building energy codes and 
encourage and support States and Indian tribes to adopt 
building codes that meet or exceed the national model building 
energy codes. But the measure does not require individuals or 
businesses to comply with the national model codes.
    No personal information would be collected in administering 
the program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal 
privacy.
    S. 1000 requires States and Indian tribes to certify their 
compliance or progress toward meeting the national model 
building energy codes, and imposes various reporting and data 
collecting requirements on the Secretary of Energy and federal 
energy managers. The Secretary may also require applicants for 
loans and rebates established under the measure to provide such 
information as the Secretary may require to implement those 
programs, but the Committee does not expect the bill's 
information collecting requirements to impose substantial 
additional paperwork or recordkeeping burdens, in either time 
or financial cost, on private individuals or businesses.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    S. 1000, as ordered reported, does not contain any 
congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits, 
or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate.

                        Executive Communications

    The testimony provided by the Department of Energy at the 
June 6, 2011 Full Committee hearing on S. 1000 follows:

  Statement of Kathleen Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy 
     Efficiency, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, 
                          Department of Energy

    Chairman Bingaman, Ranking Member Murkowski and Members of 
the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to discuss the 
Department of Energy's (DOE's) energy efficiency and Advanced 
Vehicles Technology Programs. The Administration is still 
reviewing the Reducing Federal Energy Dollars Act of 2011 (S. 
963), the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 
2011 (S. 1000), and the Alternative Fuel Vehicles 
Competitiveness and Energy Security Act of 2011 (S. 1001). 
While the Administration does not take a position at this time, 
my statement will provide you with information on work DOE is 
already doing to create jobs, build a new clean energy economy, 
and help save consumers and businesses money through improved 
energy efficiency.
    At EERE, we work to remove the barriers to the rapid 
conversion of innovative research into commercial products, 
manufacturing, and jobs. And we work with other federal, state, 
and local governments to speed the adoption of these American 
innovations. The new businesses in clean energy production, 
installation, and operation are playing a key role driving 
economic growth and job creation.
    The market for clean energy technology is growing quickly 
and many countries have mounted aggressive national efforts to 
capture market share. China, for example, has moved quickly to 
dominate the development of next generation clean energy 
products through low-cost production and investments in 
research infrastructure. As the President said, ``this is our 
generation's Sputnik moment.'' To show his clear commitment to 
our future, he has asked for a significant increase in funding 
for energy efficiency and renewable energy in the FY12 budget 
proposal, even in a budget which moves overall domestic 
discretionary spending to the lowest levels in a generation.
    To win the future, we have to be a nation that makes, 
creates, and innovates. Across the country, we are seeing 
strong evidence that the out-build and out-innovate pillars the 
Administration has put forward are paying off. In October of 
last year, for example, manufacturing posted its first twelve-
month gain in more than ten years, and has added close to 
250,000 jobs since the December 2009 low. The Administration 
continues to be optimistic about the prospects for 
manufacturing in the recovery.
    Manufacturing remains one of the most globally competitive 
economic sectors we have. It also is one of the most visible 
economic sectors we have, with middle-class Americans clearly 
understanding the impact that strengthened manufacturing has on 
their lives and their communities.
    The challenges we face mean that we need to move with 
unprecedented speed and scale. Success is measured by private 
innovation and investment but can begin with well-crafted 
federal programs that will help achieve a number of important 
goals:
           A vigorous and profitable residential and 
        commercial building retrofit industry, cost-effectively 
        saving 30-50 percent of the energy used in existing 
        buildings;
           Solar energy, offshore wind energy, and 
        geothermal plants fully competitive with conventional 
        sources of electricity;
           Fuels that can be drop-in replacements for 
        gasoline, diesel fuel, or jet fuel priced competitively 
        with products produced from petroleum;
           Large fleets of electric and hybrid cars 
        supported by a network of charging stations to support 
        them; and
           Trucks with over 50% improvement in fuel 
        economy.
    Small federal investments have led to major breakthroughs 
like the invention of the internet and Global Positioning 
Systems or ``GPS'' found in most cellular devices today. 
Similarly, EERE investments past, present, and future are 
critical to achieving these goals. As one example, in 2009, the 
U.S. had only two, relatively small, factories manufacturing 
advanced vehicle batteries, and produced less than two percent 
of the world's hybrid vehicle batteries.\1\ But over the next 
few years, thanks to investments from the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) in battery and electric 
drive component manufacturing, and electric drive demonstration 
and infrastructure, the U.S. will be able to produce enough 
batteries and components to support 500,000 plug-in and 
electric vehicles per year. High volume manufacturing, coupled 
with battery technology advances, design optimization, and 
material cost reductions, could lead to a drop in battery costs 
of 50 percent by 2013 compared to 2009, which will lower the 
cost of electric vehicles, making them accessible to more 
consumers.

    These kinds of breakthroughs are especially important in 
the transportation sector, which alone accounts for 
approximately two-thirds of the United States' oil consumption 
and contributes to one-third of the Nation's greenhouse gas 
(GHG) emissions.\2\ After housing, transportation is the second 
biggest monthly expense for most American families.\3\ As the 
President said in his recent energy speech, ``In an economy 
that relies so heavily on oil, rising prices at the pump affect 
everybody.'' Emphasizing that ``there are no quick fixes,'' the 
President outlined a portfolio of actions which, taken 
together, could cut U.S. oil imports by a third by 2025.

    The draft legislation being addressed today focuses on 
three areas:
           Clean energy in the Federal sector
           Energy efficiency in the industrial sector 
        and building codes
           Alternative fuel vehicles
    General comments are provided on each of these three areas, 
but the Department has no comments on the specific content of 
the legislation, as these bills are currently under review by 
the Administration.


                   clean energy in the federal sector


    Constructing and operating Federal facilities in a 
sustainable manner has numerous well-documented benefits, 
including:
           Saving taxpayer dollars through optimized 
        life-cycle cost-effective actions;
           Enhancing employee productivity through the 
        provision of safe, healthy and environmentally 
        appealing workplaces;
           Reducing environmental impacts through 
        decreased energy, water, and materials use; and
           Moving the overall market conditions toward 
        higher performance, through the Federal demand for 
        sustainable facilities.
    These benefits are sizable, in part, due to the size of the 
Federal Government. The Federal Government is estimated to use 
about 1.6 percent of the Nation's total energy, occupy nearly 
500,000 buildings, operate more than 600,000 vehicles, and 
purchase more than $500 billion per year in goods and services.
    The Federal government is making substantial progress 
toward its sustainability goals mandated in EPAct 2005, EISA 
2007, and Executive Order 13514, signed by President Obama in 
October, 2009. For example, in FY 2010, the Federal Government 
reported a 15 percent decrease in site-delivered Btu per square 
foot compared with baseline year 2003. This meets the EISA 
statutory reduction goal for FY 2010.
    FY 2010 was also the highest level year to date for the use 
of Energy Savings Performance Contracting with these contacts 
totaling more than $560 million in investment in Federal 
facilities. This type of performance-based contracting is 
extremely important to meeting the Federal sustainability goals 
due to the pressures on Federal appropriations and increasing 
goals for reduced energy intensity, energy savings goals that 
increase to 30% by 2015.
    In FY 2010, Federal agencies also reported purchasing or 
producing renewable electric energy representing 5.2 percent of 
the Federal Government's electricity use, achieving the EPAct 
2005 goal of five percent. This more than doubled renewable 
energy use as a percentage of total facility electricity use 
since 2003. The five percent goal remains in place until FY 
2013, when it will increase to 7.5 percent under current 
statute. Not counted in this metric is the significant amount 
of non-electric renewable energy produced and purchased by the 
Government that displaces the need for additional electric 
generation. This includes thermal energy, such as solar hot 
water and space heating, geothermal energy, steam from biomass, 
and landfill methane.
    DOE is also making progress to improve the transparency of 
Federal building energy efficiency, as required under EISA 
2007, Section 432. DOE expects to have a web-based system that 
provides information on the energy efficiency of metered 
buildings and on the cost-effective improvement opportunities 
that exist in Federal facilities publicly available by Fall 
2011.


     energy efficiency in the industrial sector and building codes


    The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act (S. 
1000) outlines new provisions for building codes, appliance 
standards, and industrial energy efficiency among other areas.
    Energy-conserving appliance standards are one of the 
significant steps the Administration has taken to save energy 
in homes and businesses nationwide, and pave the way toward a 
clean energy future for our country.\4\ Since January 2009, the 
Department of Energy has finalized new efficiency standards for 
more than twenty household and commercial products, which are 
projected to cumulatively save consumers between $250 billion 
and $300 billion over the next 20 years.\5\ These standards can 
provide an immediate and economically responsible way to 
increase the nation's energy security while protecting the 
environment. Improvements in energy efficiency can be made 
today to yield significant near-term and long-term economic and 
environmental benefits for the nation.\6\

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: How Much at What Cost? (http://www.epa.gov/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In 2007, Congress recognized the importance of negotiated 
consensus standards, amending the Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act (EPCA) to allow for an expedited rulemaking 
process in the event a representative group of stakeholders 
could reach agreement. Several DOE rules currently under 
development and review overlap with the proposed consensus 
standards. Although the agency cannot presuppose the level of 
the final standards, it is seriously considering these 
consensus recommendations. The agency's preliminary analyses 
accompanying the proposed rules for these standards suggest 
that the potential net benefits from these recommended levels 
could yield tens of billions of dollars in fuel savings and 
lower greenhouse gas emissions.
    U.S. industry accounts for about one-third of U.S. energy 
use while contributing to about 12% of U.S. Gross Domestic 
Product.\7\ Improving industrial energy efficiency will result 
in saving money and enhancing U.S. competitiveness in the 
world's manufacturing sector. By partnering with the private 
sector, DOE has already managed to save more than 9.3 
quadrillion Btu of energy and reduced carbon emissions by over 
206 million metric tons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Supply chain energy efforts can make an important 
contribution to overall industrial efficiency and the 
competitive position of domestic suppliers. Analysis suggests 
that a large part of the carbon footprint for many consumer 
products can be attributed to the supply chain--from raw 
materials, transport, and packaging to the energy consumed in 
manufacturing processes--on the order of 40 to 60 percent. DOE 
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) both have 
existing initiatives that address supply chain efficiency, such 
as Save Energy Now' at DOE and ENERGY STAR. For 
example, through its national Save Energy Now' 
initiative, DOE encourages manufacturing companies to engage 
their supply chains in energy and carbon management, while at 
EPA, ENERGY STAR has engaged whole industries to support their 
customers and supply chains in building effective energy 
management programs. Specifically, DOE and EPA develop 
processes and resources to assist companies in promoting energy 
management to their industrial suppliers and customers. Save 
Energy Now' LEADER Companies make a voluntary 
commitment to reduce their energy intensity by 25 percent in 10 
years. Many of these companies are interested in improving the 
efficiency of their supply chains as well. ENERGY STAR boasts a 
growing group of corporations that have used ENERGY STAR to 
influence key suppliers to effectively manage energy.
    DOE is also working with Superior Energy Performance (SEP), 
a voluntary certification program helping to provide industrial 
facilities with a roadmap for achieving continual improvement 
in energy efficiency while maintaining competitiveness. A 
central element of SEP is implementation of the International 
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 50001 energy management 
standard, with additional requirements to achieve and document 
energy intensity improvements. DOE is working through SEP to 
bring ISO 50001 to the U.S. Upon its publication this American 
National Standards Institute-accredited program is anticipated 
to provide companies with a framework for fostering energy 
efficiency at the plant level and a consistent methodology for 
measuring and validating energy efficiency and intensity 
improvements. This new framework has the opportunity to be an 
important tool to integrate into supply chain efforts.


                       alternative fuel vehicles


    Few technologies hold greater promise for reducing our 
dependence on oil than alternative fuel vehicles. The 
Administration has set a goal to have the United States become 
the first country with a million electric vehicles on the road. 
Meeting this goal will help the United States become a leader 
in the clean energy economy, while capitalizing on the 
ingenuity of American industry. Manufacturing products needed 
for the clean energy economy will generate long term economic 
strength in the U.S., creating jobs across the country while 
reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The 
Administration supports the goal of utilizing alternative fuel 
technologies to break our dependence on oil and to move toward 
a clean energy future. The DOE looks forward to working with 
Congress to achieve these objectives.
    DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program is helping the Nation 
lead the way in alternative fuel vehicle innovation. DOE has 
helped reduce the cost of PHEV Lithium Ion batteries to $650 
per kilowatt-hour, a 35% reduction from the 2008 baseline of 
$1,000 per kilowatt-hour. This is making oil alternatives 
competitive in general while specifically increasing U.S. 
competitiveness in the global market.


                               conclusion


    In conclusion, the Department of Energy thanks the 
Subcommittee for the opportunity to comment on these proposed 
initiatives. We look forward to working with Congress to 
develop strong, effective clean energy policy to ensure U.S. 
leadership on these global issues and in the clean energy 
economy. I am happy to answer any questions Committee Members 
may have.

SEC. 304. UPDATING STATE BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY CODES.

    (a) Updating National Model Building Energy Codes.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary shall--
                  (A) support the development of national model 
                building energy codes, including the updating 
                of ASHRAE and IECC model building energy codes 
                and standards;
                  (B) encourage and support the adoption of 
                building energy codes by States, Indian tribes, 
                and, as appropriate, by local governments that 
                meet or exceed the national model building 
                energy codes, or achieve equivalent or greater 
                energy savings; and
                  (C) support full compliance with the State 
                and local codes.
          (2) Targets.--
                  (A) In general.--The Secretary shall support 
                the updating of the national model building 
                energy codes for residential buildings and 
                commercial buildings to enable the achievement 
                of energy savings targets established under 
                subparagraph (B).

                        work with State, Indian tribes, local 
                        governments, nationally recognized code 
                        and standards developers, and other 
                        interested parties to support the 
                        updating of national model building 
                        energy codes by establishing 1 or more 
                        aggregate energy savings targets to 
                        achieve the purposes of this section.
                          (ii) Separate targets.--The Secretary 
                        may establish separate targets for 
                        commercial and residential buildings.
                          (iii) Baselines.--The baseline for 
                        updating national model codes shall be 
                        the 2009 IECC for residential buildings 
                        and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 for 
                        commercial buildings.
