text: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
  
      This Act may be cited as the ``Energy Savings Through Public-
  Private Partnerships Act of 2013''.
  
  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
  
      Congress finds the following:
              (1) Private sector funding and expertise can help address 
          the energy efficiency challenges facing the United States.
              (2) The Federal Government spends more than $6 billion 
          annually in energy costs.
              (3) Reducing Federal energy costs can help save money, 
          create jobs, and reduce waste.
              (4) Energy savings performance contracts and utility energy 
          service contracts are tools for utilizing private sector 
          investment to upgrade Federal facilities without any up-front 
          cost to the taxpayer.
              (5) Performance contracting is a way to retrofit Federal 
          buildings using private sector investment in the absence of 
          appropriated dollars. Retrofits seek to reduce energy use, 
          improve infrastructure, protect national security, and cut 
          facility operations and maintenance costs.
  
  SEC. 3. USE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS.
  
      (a) Implementation of Identified Energy Efficiency Measures.--
  Section 543(f)(4) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (42 
  U.S.C. 8253(f)(4)) is amended to read as follows:
              ``(4) Implementation of identified energy efficiency 
          measures.--
                      ``(A) In general.--Not later than 2 years after the 
                  completion of each evaluation under paragraph (3), each 
                  energy manager shall consider--
                              ``(i) implementing any energy-saving or 
                          conservation measure that the Federal agency 
                          identified in the evaluation conducted under 
                          paragraph (3) that is life cycle cost-
                          effective; and
                              ``(ii) bundling individual measures of 
                          varying paybacks together into combined 
                          projects.
                      ``(B) Measures not implemented.--The energy 
                  manager, as part of the certification system under 
                  paragraph (7) and using guidelines developed by the 
                  Secretary, shall provide reasons for not implementing 
                  any life cycle cost-effective measures under 
                  subparagraph (A).''.
      (b) Annual Contracting Goal.--Section 543(f)(10)(C) of the National 
  Energy Conservation Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 8253(f)(10)(C)) is amended--
              (1) by striking ``Each Federal agency'' and inserting the 
          following:
                              ``(i) In general.--Each Federal agency''; 
                          and
              (2) by adding at the end the following new clauses:
                              ``(ii) Tracking.--Each Federal agency shall 
                          use the benchmarking systems selected or 
                          developed for the agency under paragraph (8) to 
                          track energy savings realized by the agency 
                          through the implementation of energy-saving or 
                          conservation measures pursuant to paragraph 
                          (4), and shall submit information regarding 
                          such savings to the Secretary to be published 
                          on a public Web site of the Department of 
                          Energy.
                              ``(iii) Consideration.--Each Federal agency 
                          shall consider using energy savings performance 
                          contracts or utility energy service contracts 
                          to implement energy-saving or conservation 
                          measures pursuant to paragraph (4).
                              ``(iv) Contracting goal.--It shall be the

                          $1,000,000,000 in each year during the 5-year 
                          period beginning on January 1, 2014.
                              ``(v) Report to congress.--Not later than

target: Energy Savings Through Public-Private Partnerships Act of 2013 - Amends the National Energy Conservation Policy Act to direct each federal facility energy manager to consider, not later than two years after completion of a comprehensive energy evaluation of a federal agency's facilities: (1) implementing any energy-saving or conservation measure that the agency identified in the evaluation that is life cycle cost-effective, and (2) bundling individual measures of varying paybacks together into combined projects. (Under current law, the energy manager is not required to consider such actions.) Requires the energy manager, as part of the Web-based compliance certification system, to provide reasons for not implementing life cycle cost-effective measures. Requires each agency to: (1) use the benchmarking systems selected or developed for the agency under the Act to track energy savings realized by the agency through the implementation of energy-saving or conservation measures and submit information regarding such savings for publication on a website of the Department of Energy (DOE), and (2) consider using energy savings performance or utility energy service contracts to implement such measures. Establishes a goal of entering into energy savings performance contracts or utility energy service contracts equal to $1 billion in each year during the 5-year period beginning on January 1, 2014. Requires each agency to report annually to DOE, and DOE to report to Congress, on progress towards achieving such goal.
