U.S. CUSTOMHOUSE, 610 SOUTH CANAL STREET CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60607 M 1975 Commander 928th Tactical Airlift Group (AFRES) Chicago - O'Hare International Airport Chicago, Illinois 60666 Dear Commander: We have completed a review of the energy conservation efforts undertaken by the 928th Tactical Airlift Group (TAG). Our objectives were to determine how effectively energy conservation measures were implemented and to identify potential areas for effective long-range energy conservation through more efficient operating procedures and capital improvements, Specifically, we were concerned with the develop- ment of an adequate energy-use information system, controls to reduce energy consumed in buildings and by aircraft and vehicles, and the impact of energy conservation on operations. The 928th TAG furnishes heat, gas, oil, and vehicle and aviation fuel to a number of tenant organizations located on the Base. Aviation and vehicle fuel is also provided to other Governmental organizations that visit the 928th TAG Reserve Base. The amount of energy consumed by these organizations and the 928th TAG is reported in total to Headquarters Air Force Reserve. The 928th TAG has not developed a formal long-range energy conservation program coordinating their energy conservation efforts with those of its tenant organizations. Although the 928 TAG reported a 14-percent overall reduction in the use of electricity, c 1, and heating, vehicle, and aviation fuel for fiscal year 1974 as oompared to fiscal year 1973, and reported further reductions in the fi'AM! half of fiscal year 1975, some of the actions taken were stopgap measures directed toward solving problems as they occurred. For example, while consumption of aviation fuel decreased during fiscal year 1974, the reduction was achieved primarily during the 1973- 74 oil embargo when most of the aircraft were grounded. The 928th TAG has since resumed normal flying operations and during the first six months of fiscal year 1975 reduced flying hours by only one percent. We were informed that reductions in flying hours are difficult to achieve because of established training requirements. ESTDOCUMENT AVAILABLE
