Dear Dr. Whitford:


     We have completed a review of energy use at the Transportation
Systems Center (TSC), Department of Transportation, Camoridge,  Massa-
chusetts.  The purpose of this review was to  find out how effectively
Government field installations are implementing the Federal  energy
reduction program.  The review included:

results of the energy  conservation program,
methods used to gather and  report data on energy use,
management of the energy conservation program,
measures taken to reduce energy use in buildings,
measures taken to reduce energy used by vehicles,  and
impact of energy conservation on mission.


RESULTS OF ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM


     The TSC complex consists of  six buildings.  Electricity and steam
purchased from local utility  companies are the main types of energy
used by TSC.  Electricity is used  for lighting and to power equipment
while steam is used for heating  and cooling.

     In June 1973, the President  directed all Federal agencies to use
seven percent less energy in  fiscal year 1974 than in fiscal year 1973.
In October 1974, the President  directed the agencies to use 15 percent
less energy in fiscal year 1975  than in fiscal year 1973.

     During fiscal year  1974 and the first two quarters of fiscal year
1975, TSC used considerably  less energy than in fiscal year 1973.
