Rittgers, USA Post Commander Fort Devens, Massachusetts 01433 BEST 0008i9\T AV 0A\ABL Dear Colonel Rittgers: We have completed a review of energy use at Fort Devens. The purpose of this review 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 used by vehicles, and --impact of energy conservation on mission and training operations. RESULTS OF THE ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM Fort Devens is responsible for energy used in about 800 buildings on-post, family housing off-post, and former NIKE missile sites located throughout New England. Electricity, natural gas and heating oil are the main types of energy used by Fort Devens. Electricity is used for lighting and to power equipment while natural and propane gas as well as various types of fuel oil are used for heating. Vehicles are powered by gasoline and diesel fuel. Helicopters are powered by avia- tion gas and jet 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. Our review showed that during fiscal year 1974 Fort Devens used less Pnergy than in fiscal year 1973 except for jet fuel. -Also, during the first three quarters of fiscal year 1975, Fort Devens used lass energy, except for jet fuel, than in the corresponding period in fiscal year 1973.
