BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES







Greater Energy Efficiency Can Be

Achieved Through Land Use Management




Wheii planning new growth and redevelop-
ment, communities can significantly reduce
energy consumption by incorporating energy-
efficient land use concepts such as site and
building design, locational planning, and high-
er density development.
Decisionmakers, however, are reluctant to use
these concepts because of major barriers such
as the cost of implementing the concepts and
resistance to higher density development.
The Federal Government can play a role in
pro oting energy-efficient land use by pro-
vidinig guidance through its policies, support-
ing r ;search and comprehensive planning, and
prov ding needed financial incentives.
