    The ENERGY STAR® Building Upgrade Value Calculator® (BUVC) is a tool designed for commercial real estate owners and managers to assess the financial viability of energy efficiency upgrades in their properties.

Users can input property and project details, select the analysis type, and calculate results that provide insights into metrics such as net investment costs, payback periods, and return on investment. The calculator also enables users to generate customizable reports and letters to facilitate discussions with tenants regarding potential upgrades. Additionally, the document provides definitions of terminology and detailed instructions for navigating the calculator. This resource emphasizes the significant financial advantages of investing in energy performance, promoting sustainability while also enhancing economic outcomes for property owners and tenants alike.

    The Model Individual Subcontracting Plan provides a framework for federal contractors to prepare and submit their subcontracting strategies aimed at maximizing opportunities for small businesses. Essential for contracts exceeding specific dollar thresholds, the plan outlines requirements mandated by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to ensure participation from various small business categories including veteran-owned, women-owned, and HUBZone firms.
