The document summarizes a State Energy Efficiency Program managed by the Department of General Services to help state agencies meet the goals of Executive Order B.18.12 to implement energy efficiency in state-owned buildings. The program identifies energy efficiency projects using pre-qualified Energy Service Companies, guarantees energy savings through energy savings performance contracts, and finances projects through funding sources like the DGS revolving fund with no upfront budget impact to agencies. It provides details on the audit process, types of incentives available from investor-owned utilities, example project sites, and the role of Energy Service Companies to develop and guarantee savings from projects.
