Innovating to Secure America's Energy Future

Government

Clark offers comprehensive solutions for federal, state, and local governments. We understand that in today’s fiscal environment, governments are increasingly being asked to do more with less. Our solutions allow governments to get the benefits of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainability without needing to allocate their scarce budgets toward the projects. Infrastructure improvements have never been so easy.

Solutions for Federal Clients
With over $30 billion of collective energy conservation management, auditing, financing, engineering, construction, and government contracting experience, Clark Energy Group’s world-class Super ESPC team is well-qualified to help federal agencies improve their energy independence and secure their energy security.

Energy Savings Performance Contracting
Through the energy savings performance contract (ESPC) vehicle, renewable energy and energy conservation measures can be privately financed. This means federal agencies no longer need to use appropriated money for energy saving projects and can spend those capital funds elsewhere on more pressing needs. As the largest general contractor in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we have intimate knowledge of the federal government’s built assets. Accordingly, Clark understands the challenges your agency faces in improving your facilities’ energy consumption and can provide specifically-tailored energy efficiency measures for your particular facility. From residential and commercial building retrofits to new construction, the Clark team has a proven track record of success.

Auxiliary Benefits
Beyond achieving government mandates and freeing up appropriated funds, our energy efficiency and renewable energy capabilities provide substantial additional benefits. An improved energy infrastructure will lead to decreased operating costs and increased worker health and productivity. New equipment requires less maintenance from your building staff and a smaller capital expenditure budget. Improved lighting and air quality resulting from our projects has been shown to increase employee health and morale.

Compliance with Federal Mandates
As the largest property owner in the United States, the federal government has been charged with raising the bar in responsible energy consumption. Recently established government mandates from 2005 [EPAct 2005] and 2007 [EISA 2007, Executive Order 13423] signal recognition of the tremendous energy and environmental issues facing our nation and the government’s role in contributing to these issues. Federal facilities must now meet stringent requirements for renewable energy procurement, as well as energy and water consumption reductions.

Department of Defense Expertise
Clark is currently working with the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Air Force, and the United States Marine Corps on several successful long-term development projects. We therefore understand the unique needs of the Department of Defense agencies and are capable of exceeding those needs.

State, Local and Municipal Governments
Similar to the federal government, state, local and municipal governments are facing growing pressures to reduce energy consumption and improve general sustainability. Clark offers the same services to non-federal government clients with a matching commitment to quality and performance.

We Can Help
The Clark team can help your agency reach its energy goals and do so in the most cost-effective manner. We understand the difficulties inherent in managing energy and water consumption and can identify simple as well as more complex solutions to bring your facility into full compliance with federal energy mandates. Whether it involves renewable energy generation or maximizing energy and water efficiency, Clark has the requisite tools and experience to ensure a successful outcome.
