The document discusses the Green Button initiative, which standardizes the format and communication of energy usage data to allow customers and third parties to access and exchange this information. It describes how the initiative can help federal agencies more cost-effectively manage energy use across their facilities by obtaining standardized energy data from all suppliers. The Green Button pilot led by GSA aims to test obtaining utility and sub-metering data via Green Button for five buildings, integrating it with energy management systems and publishing the data to support energy efficiency programs.
