D -- Energy Data Management Systems

The U.S. Postal Service has requirements for an enterprise-wide Energy Data Management System (EDMS) for utilities (including electricity, natural gas and water). This system besides gathering, compiling and reporting energy data must include consideration for custom reporting (summarizing and filtering), advanced telemetering (as mandated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005), invoice analysis and remote building control systems. It must be both intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to be able to quickly drill down through the data. The Postal Service, which is an independent agency of the executive branch, operates approximately 35,000 facilities throughout the nation. Of those, about 2,500 facilities have interior square footage of 25,000 s.f. or more and about 28,000 facilities have interior square footage of 5,000 s.f. or less. A Supplier Conference to discuss the Postal Service's requirements and possible industry solutions will be held on January 18, 2006 at the William F. Bolger Center for Leadership Development. The meeting will begin at 9:00am at the Main Building in Room 200 (Stained Glass Room) and last until 4:00pm. The William F. Bolger Center for Leadership Development is located at 9600 Newbridge Drive, Potomac, MD 20854-4436. Telephone number is 301-983-7000. Overnight accommodations are available at the Bolger Center.
