The NG is pursuing multiple renewable energy and energy reduction projects throughout the country to meet benchmarks outlined in Executive Order (EO)13693 (2015). This EO requires the reduction of agencies building Energy Intensity (EI) per gross square foot by 2.5 percent annually through the end of fiscal year 2025, relative to the baseline of the agency's building energy use in fiscal year 2015 and taking into account agency progress to date. The NGB Environmental Management Systems adheres to the Executive Order.

Federal Agencies shall, where life-cycle cost-effective, beginning in fiscal year 2016, unless otherwise specified, promote building energy conservation, efficiency, and management. The NG would like to purchase the 3.2 MW photovoltaic system. By making this purchase the NG would no longer be in a Power Purchase Agreement and purchase of the system would result in over $ 700,000 in annual energy costs savings per unit. The NG is also planning additional solar photovoltaic (solar panels), geothermal, and energy efficient retrofits at seven facilities and training sites. Major projects include combined wind, solar and ground source heat pumps at various NG facilities to achieve as close to “Net Zero” as possible. The effects of these measures reduce greenhouse gas by up to 125,000 tons of CO2 per unit and reduces the dependence on foreign oils and fossil fuels.
