KENNEDY FEDERAL BUILDING GOVERNMENT CENTER BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02203 Lieutenant General Wilbur L. Creech, USAF Commander, Electronic Systems Division 1I HE 111 II1 Iii 11111 liii111 I I ill Laurence G. Hanscom Air Force Base LM096878 Bedford, Massachusetts 01730 Dear General Creech: We have completed a review of energy use at Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB). The purpose of this reivew was to find out how effectively Government field installations were implementing the energy reduction program. The review included the: --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 use by vehicles, and --impact of energy conservation on mission and training operations. RESULTS OF THE ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM The Electronic Systems Division (ESD) of the Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) is responsible for the energy used in operating Hanscom AFB. Electricity, natural gas and various types of heating oil are the main types of energy used by Hanscom AFB. Electricity is used for lighting and to power equipment. Natural and propane gas and various types of oil are used for heating or cooling. Vehicles are powered by gasoline and diesel fuel. In June 1973, the President directed all Federal agencies to use 7 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. Our review showed that during fiscal year 1974 and the first three quarters of fiscal year 1975, Hanscom AFB used less energy than in fiscal year 1973.
