Provided is a user 1 s guide for the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1 s {NRC) computer program XOQDOQ which implements Regulatory Guide 1.111. This NUREG supercedes NUREG-0324 which was published as a draft in September 1977. This program is used by the NRC meteorology staff in their independent meteorological evaluation of routine or anticipated intermittent releases at nuclear power stations. This version IV language. converted to of the program was developed on a CDC 7600 computer in Fortran The structure of the program is such that it should be easily other computer systems. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The enthusiastic support and assistant of Tom Bander of the Pacific Northwest Laboratory in preparing this document is greatly appreciated.

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Executive Order ,12902 require that Federal agencies reduce the energy consumed in Federal buildings. The Executive Order increased the goal to a 30% reduction by 2005 compared to 1985 levels. In addition, agencies are required, to the maximum extent possible, to install dl energy and water conservation measures with payback of less than 10 years.To help meet these goals, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE'S) Office of Federal Energy Management Programs (FEMP) has initiated the SAVEnergy program. The SAVEnergy program approach has three key elements:The Action Plan with recommended conservation actions and complete proposals on how the agency can implement them.The Action Team to implement the SAVEnergy Action Plan.A project-tracking database to evaluate the SAVEnergy program and record progress toward conservation goals.The SAVEnergy Action Plan enables facility energy managers to identify and implement costeffective projects, using the full spectrum of resources available through the agency. F E W , utilities, and other sources. It gives energy managers a detailed description of how they can translate specific energy conservation measures into real projects, including budget requirements and potential financing options.The Action Plan starts with an energy and water conservation audit of the facility. In addition to collecting data on energy and water use, the auditors develop and evaluate conservation alternatives, using a fuel-neutral approach. The auditors also provide a report to help the agency and FEMP follow up on the project. The SAVEnergy Action Plan has several components. The Plan Lists several low-or no-cost operation and maintenance changes that will generate immediate savings.Lists the top projects recommended for implementation based on less than 10-year simple payback and Federal life-cycle costing.Suggests funding sources to complete these projects. The funding sources could include agency funds, FEMP's Federal Energy Efficiency Fund, or leveraging of non-Federal financial incentives, such as utility demand-side management (DSM) programs.Lists other resources necessary for starting these projects to make it easier for the facility manager to start and complete a project.iii Energy and Water Conservation Action Plan Executive SummaryOn December 20 and 21, 1994, the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL)(a) conducted a S AVEnergy Audit of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service, Noflhwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, Washington. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of all energy-consuming equipment in the facility, to estimate energy consumption and demand by end-use and to recommend energy conservati...
This release is an update and expansion of the information provided in Release 1.0 of the Metering Best Practice Guide that was issued in October 2007. This release, as was the previous release, was developed under the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). The mission of FEMP is to facilitate the Federal Government's implementation of sound cost-effective energy management and investment practices to enhance the nation's energy security and environmental stewardship. Each of these activities is directly related to achieving requirements set forth in the Energy
As a result of insuffi cient appropriations for energy-related projects at federal sites, the Department of Energy (DOE) Offi ce of Federal Energy Management Programs (FEMP) has encouraged the use of alternative fi nancing as a method to fund energy effi ciency, water conservation, and renewable energy capital retrofi t projects. One of the potential avenues for agencies to obtain alternative fi nancing is through their servicing utility. Since the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT), more than 1,200 projects have been facilitated in this manner. The amount of the capital investment per project has varied markedly, depending on the need of the federal agency, number of facilities at a specifi c site, and nature of the retrofi t technology.To promote the use of this fi nancing mechanism, FEMP created the Federal Utility Partnership Working Group to foster enhanced relationships between utilities and both federal agencies and their sites so projects could be identifi ed, designed, fi nanced, and constructed. Formation of this working group also allowed FEMP the opportunity to collect, on a voluntary basis, specifi c information regarding individual projects to document results, which could assist in determining the contribution to mandated energy saving goals.Accurate and complete data existed for 528 of these projects to allow an analysis of total energy savings as a function of capital cost. Projects that consisted of the category labeled controls/upgrades/repairs yielded the largest energy savings per capital dollar of investment (-14,500 Btu per dollar). Other projects with high energy savings per capital dollar of investment included comprehensive upgrades, central plant upgrades, boiler/chiller replacement, and lighting and mechanical system upgrades. This article summarizes the fi ndings from the analysis, provides some insight into the types of projects that yield the best savings per dollar of investment, and discusses possible explanations for the results.
