Contracting for federal government properties

Counselling by the German Energy Agency on contracting projects is directed in particular at federal government properties with the help of guidelines, an internet portal, work aids, a contracting hotline, and support with project development. The objective of the counselling is to find energy supply and energy saving contracting services for federal government properties and to implement these with the help of third parties. The aim is also to exploit energy-saving potential in the public sector by means of financial and technical support from specialised companies. In addition to this contracting projects are leading to demand for particularly efficient technologies and products which is creating positive incentives for the market.
