SIXTH AND ARCH STREETS PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19106 May 15, 1975 Mr. John Galuardi Regional Administrator (3A) General Services Administration Regional Office Building fil3 7th and D Streets, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20407 Dear Mr. Galuardi: The General Accounting Office is conducting a nationwide review of the Government's energy reduction effort at selected field activities to identify opportunities to improve energy conservation practices. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the results of our work at the Federal Building, 5000 Wissahickon Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This building is owned by the general Services Aaministration (GSA) and operated by its Germantown Field Office. The Teterans Administration Center is the prime tenant, Energy Conservation Measures Energy conservation measures instituted at this building by GSA include: --Removal of flourescent tubes from light fixtures to reduce energy use. --Adjustment of janitorial service hours to have most of the work performed during regular business hours. --Reduction of steam pressure from natural gas and oil fired boilers thus allowing the boilers to operate on a lower flame and burn less fuel. --Turning off electrically operated equipment such as air handlers when they are not needed. In addition to the measures above, an area energy monitoring team has been established which periodically Inspects the energy conservation activities in GSA buildings In Philadelphia Including the one in our survey. As explained later, we believe these inspections can be improved.
