- Summary:
- Section 161 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) encourages energy-efficient federal procurement. Executive Order 12902 and FAR section 23.704 direct agencies to purchase products in the upper 25% of energy efficiency. Agencies that use these guidelines to buy efficient products can realize substantial operating cost savings and help prevent pollution. As the world`s largest consumer, the federal government can help pull the entire US market towards greater energy efficiency, while saving taxpayers dollars. The federal supply source for motors is the Defense Supply Center, Richmond (DSCR). Be sure to specify an efficiency rating that meets the Efficiency Recommendation for that type and size. DSCR supplies motors in sizes ranging from 1 to 200 horsepower--be sure to specify a motor that meets the Efficiency Recommendation. For more information, call DSCR. When contracting or buying from a commercial source, specify or select a motor with an efficiency that meets or exceeds the Recommended levels. These efficiency levels are the same as those recommended by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency.
