Planned Actions. The Fleet Team will continue to research and test alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) including Plug-in Hybrids and electric cars. LANL currently has nine Hybrid vehicles and as part of the FY 2010 replacement cycle ordered an additional 28 Hybrid vehicles. The team will continue collecting data on E- 85 and Hybrid vehicles and work with management to continue downsizing and right sizing the Laboratory’s fleet. In addition, LANL will continue to support initiatives related to the development of alternative fuel infrastructure in Los Alamos County by initiating a Request for Proposal for a local alternative fuel vendor. The Fleet Team will work to meet fleet and fuel use goals as outlined in DOE Order 430.2B and EO 13423 by developing an effective customer awareness campaign and pursuing employee efficiency strategies to reduce energy use such as low-rolling resistance tires and synthetic oil to extend replacement frequency. In addition, the team will evaluate all of the equipment and fleet to establish any “green” alternatives and ascertain whether the equipment/fleet uses diesel, and if so, what type of biodiesel is possible. Create “Green the Fleet” matrix for determining where LANL can increase environmentally preferable types of equipment or vehicles Matrix June 2011 Develop and issue RFP for alternative fuel vendor RFP issue date August 2011

Planned Actions. Table 1.4.5 represents LANL’s five year energy project schedule, which is contingent on funding, to achieve the 30 percent energy intensity reduction and water reduction goals, but more importantly, the table attempts to accurately capture the funding required and will serve as the basis for out year budget requests. Reconfiguration of the central heat and power plant at TA-3 and revitalization of the distribution system could provide a significant proportion of the energy savings for LANL. Much of the steam plant and the piping system is more than 50 years old and is not energy efficient. Replacement of the TA-3 Co- generation (COGEN) plant is still a viable and critical project. UI will further develop the BAS night setback program by establishing a Measurement and Verification program, Operations and Maintenance Criteria for office temperature standards. In addition, LANL will invest $250,000 in FY 2011 to enable night setbacks within facilities with a BAS. A program to ensure a funding stream for energy and water efficiency improvements and the installation of on-site renewable energy projects will be developed. This program will apply at least 50 percent of the previous year’s expected savings into the following year’s energy and natural resources program to ensure the funding stream. The NORESCO project plan details the design work to be completed and the construction work to be nearly complete within FY 2011; the target for completion of construction is December 2011. Lessons learned from ESPC I will facilitate planning an FY 2011 ESPC DO#2 with a similar scope which is planned to begin development in FY12. Completed projects for 2010-2011 ESPC DO #1 are expected to reduce the energy intensity in Goal-Target facilities by about 65,000 MMBTU per year. About 332,500 gsf of new construction of facilities is planned between the beginning of FY 2011 and FY2016. An estimated 255,388BTUs/gsf/yr is used in Table 1.4.6 to calculate the net energy reduction by FY 2015 resulting from the elimination of excess facilities and construction of new ones. From FY 2011 to FY 2016, the net reduction in gsf is planned to be about 1.0M gsf and the net energy reduction will be about 155,311 MMBTUs (Table 1.4.6). New facilities will be built in accordance with new federal and state guidelines to be more energy efficient than the buildings they replace. One of the larger facilities included in new construction is the CMR Replacement-Radiological Laboratory Utility Office B...

Planned Actions. During FY2011 UI will continue with electric meter installations per the FY2011 Metering Plan. Advanced meters listed within the Metering Plan will be connected for remote communications through the LANL intranet where feasible. Additional work is planned for the installation of a device that will take natural gas and water meter outputs and communicate the data remotely to the current metering server for continuous monitoring and data collection. In FY2011 one natural gas and one water meter are slated for this remote connection. If successful, future connections will be made at locations with water and or gas meters which will aid in meeting the goals set forth in DOE’s Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan. In order to meet the 430.2B goals for natural gas and water metering, UI will bring in 4 water meters and 12 natural gas meters. By 2016 LANL will have a total of 44 water meters, 27 smart and 17 standard, and 31 natural gas meters, 14 smart and 17 standard. Once all of the locations necessary to meet the 430.2B are metered, UI will work connect any smart meters to be remotely read/monitored and will begin replacing standard meters with smart where practicable. The Laboratory is planning to manage, report, and share energy usage information across the site. Engineering Standards for Natural Gas and Water will be updated to include the requirement for a meter on gas and water. The update will specify meter types and require a communications path for said meter back to the metering server for continuous monitoring and data acquisition. UI is working with the Decision Applications Group (D-4) to develop a database that will collect metering data from various sources and create consumption reports for Facility Operations Directors, facility coordinators, and tenants. Within the next 12-18 months, this database will be used to analyze and trend energy consumption on a facility basis to improve tenant and building management awareness and conservation efforts. Usage information will be communicated to the FODs and programmatic tenants to improve awareness to reduce energy consumption through a quarterly report as well as available through the UI webpage. In addition, LANL will complete installation of all advanced electric meters. Restore water meter remote reading capability to FY 2005 working status. Remote meter applications January 2010 Publish Metering Plan to address steam and gas metering as appropriate (attached to final SSP). Metering Plan Dec...

Planned Actions. Projects and activities that are subject to NPDES CGP coverage will continue to be identified in the preconstruction phase through existing LANL systems and procedures. This includes new facilities and infrastructure, D&D projects, and environmental restoration activities. During construction these projects and activities will implement CGP storm water management requirements, which for these projects, will also meet the storm water management goal identified in Section 2.6.2.

Planned Actions. LEED Gold and energy performance as standard design/construction requirements are being incorporated into early project design. LEED training has been generated for LANL Project Managers to increase awareness and knowledge in requirements as well as process. Close to 1 million square feet of major new projects, currently in the planning stages are being formulated to be certified as LEED Gold projects. These facilities include: CMRR Nuclear Facility (400,000 sq.ft.), ▇▇▇▇▇ M4 Laboratory/Office building (300,000 sq.ft.), Global Security Laboratory/Training/Office building (170,000 sq.ft.), ▇▇▇▇▇ Energetic Materials Laboratory/Office (70,000 sq.ft.) TA-03 Fire Station (30,000 sq.ft.), TRU-Waste Office (30,000 sq.ft.) and the Wellness Center Replacement (20,000 sq.ft.). Upcoming or current construction projects identified for LEED certification include: Tactical Training Facility, Indoor Shooting Range and the TA- 48 Mass Spectrometer building. LANL continues to develop and implement innovative approaches to address the requirements for achieving LEED Gold and meeting energy performance mandates for new projects that could also be used across the complex. Refer to the attached CEDR, Tab 7 New Building Construction. Research and implement where practicable, innovative approaches to address the requirement for achieving LEED Gold and energy performance for new projects that could also be used across the complex.

Planned Actions. ‌ The DOE and the Laboratory participate in a pooling arrangement with Los Alamos County to provide electrical power to both the County and the Laboratory. The Pool is proceeding with installing a new 3MW hydroelectric unit at Abiquiu Dam, and pursuing the installation of up to 3MW of PV generation on a capped landfill on DOE property. With the increase in computing power, laser programs, and the CMRR project, power demand is expected to increase and the transmission of power must be reconfigured and used more efficiently. The Central Steam Plant Repowering and Distribution System Revitalization is a proposed project that will replace a 60 year old inefficient system. The new system will be more reliable and provide the electrical capacity needed for the future missions of the Laboratory and the Power Pool more efficiently. This system will provide up to 35MW of the annual electrical consumption of the Laboratory at a quarter the carbon emissions per kWH. It is expected to provide up to 35 MW of on-site generation and the free cooling economizer cycle will permit 4.5 MW of demand to be shed. The proposed LANL Electrical Distribution Upgrade project will optimize utilization of available power. This upgrade will replace two 55 year old substations and will enable all the substations to provide shared load capacities for load growth around the Laboratory and the Power Pool. This project will increase the efficiency, reduce transformer no-load losses, and provide the means for installing Smart Grid technology and metering along with means to connect renewable energy resources. As a result, operation and maintenance costs, and production losses will be reduced. Continued planning for new federal facilities and leases will include the consideration of sites that are pedestrian friendly, near existing employment centers, and accessible to public transit unless the program requirements are specifically otherwise. The NNSA posted a notice of intent to prepare a supplemental EIS for the CMRR-NF to assess the potential environmental impacts of the construction and operation of the nuclear facility due to the detailed site geotechnical investigations and the changes in the project. The Final EIS for the CMRR project (DOE/EIS-0350 the CMRR EIS) was issued in November 2003, and received a Record of Decision (69 FR 6967) February 2004. Coordination with the regional programs for federal, state, tribal, and local ecosystems, watershed and environmental management will co...
