PROGRESS REPORT
For the last few years, TFC office of energy management has relied on energy performance contracting projects to reduce energy and utility usage in various TFC facilities. We have already completed two projects in total of 1.8 million square feet of facilities, phases I and II. The phase I and II projects will save TFC over $700,000 per year in utility costs. Also, we are about to finish another two projects in another 2.8 million square feet of facilities. Phases III and IV projects will generate around $600,000 in utility savings as well. TFC just selected two companies to start working on phases V and VI projects. Energy performance contracting with SECO funding is the main vehicle we are using to conduct energy-saving work.

STRATEGY FOR ACHIEVING GOALS
As mentioned above, TFC is concentrating on using energy performance contracting delivery method to implement energy saving projects. TFC uses the SECO LoanSTAR program for the main funding source, and all energy projects are self-funded.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
TFC’s office of energy management goal is to conduct audits and energy performance contracting in all TFC-managed facilities by the end of calendar year 2025, perform at least one pass and then redo the process. We will replace almost all existing lighting to LED technology by the end of 2025 or earlier.
AGENCY FINANCE STRATEGY
All energy projects are self-funded using SECO LoanSTAR programs. No taxpayer funding is used for our energy projects.
EMPLOYEE AWARENESS PLAN
We currently do not have staffing for active employee awareness programs, but we are working with our property manager to inform our tenants on energy-saving strategies.
