(2) Reducing energy and water use in Federal facilities-- (A) saves taxpayer dollars; (B) reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the Federal sector; and (C) increases employee comfort and productivity. (3) It is important for the Federal Government to-- (A) develop goals for energy and water use reduction in Federal facilities; and (B) to the maximum extent practicable, take measures that are life cycle cost effective. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Federal agencies should-- (1) for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2030, reduce average building energy intensity (as measured in British thermal units per gross square foot) at facilities of the agency by 2.5 percent each fiscal year, relative to the average building energy intensity of the facilities of the agency in fiscal year 2018; and (2) for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2030, improve water use efficiency and management, including stormwater management, at facilities of the agency by reducing agency water consumption intensity-- (A) by reducing the potable water consumption by 54 percent by fiscal year 2030, relative to the potable water consumption of the agency in fiscal year 2007, through reductions of 2 percent each fiscal year (as measured in gallons per gross square foot); (B) by reducing the industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water consumption of the agency, as compared to a baseline of that consumption by the agency in fiscal year 2010, through reductions of 2 percent each fiscal year (as measured in gallons); and (C) by installing appropriate infrastructure features on federally owned property to improve stormwater and wastewater management.

USE OF ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY MEASURES IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) Performance contracting is a private financing tool with guaranteed energy savings and has been used by the Federal Government for nearly 30 years. (2) Energy savings performance contracts and utility energy service contacts allow the Government to invest in infrastructure using private sector financing and expertise, with a guarantee of results. (3) Use of performance contracting has saved the Government and taxpayers more than $18,000,000,000. (4) By law, performance contracts are guaranteed to provide savings to Federal agencies. (5) On average, performance contracts achieve savings in excess of the contractual and statutory guarantee. (6) In a fiscally constrained environment, performance contracting helps to address the Federal Government's backlog of maintenance and supplement scarce operations and maintenance dollars. (7) The House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget have all acted to recognize the value of performance contracts by providing distinct budgetary consideration of them; in the 115th Congress, the House of Representatives included section 5109 in H. Con. Res. 71 to enable the greater use of performance contracting and to recognize their full cost savings benefits. (8) Federal agencies are not taking full advantage of the cost-effective energy efficiency measures that are available and documented. (9) Using performance contracts to carry out such energy efficiency measures would benefit taxpayers, the economy, and the environment. (b) Reports.--Section 548(b) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 8258(b)) is amended-- (1) in paragraph (3), by striking ``and'' at the end; (2) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting ``; and''; and (3) by adding at the end the following: ``(5)(A) the status of the energy savings performance contracts and utility energy service contracts of each agency, to the extent that the information is not duplicative of information provided to the Secretary under a separate authority; ``(B) the quantity and investment value of the contracts for the previous year; ``(C) the guaranteed energy savings, or for contracts without a guarantee, the estimated energy savings, for the previous year, as compared to the measured energy savings for the previous year; ``(D) a forecast of the estimated quantity and investment value of contracts anticipated in the following year for each agency; and ``(E)(i) a comparison of the information described in subparagraph (B) and the forecast described in subparagraph (D) in the report of the previous year; and ``(ii) if applicable, the reasons for any differences in the data compared under clause (i).''.
