AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT oIVISIoN FEB 4 1983 Mr. James N. Juliana Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Reserve Affairs, and Logistics) 121514 Dear Mr. Juliana: Subject: Validating Energy Savings from Projects Funded by Energy Conservation Investment Program The purpose of this letter is to present our views and com- ments on an August 31, 1982, Department of Defense (DOD) memorandum discussing implementation of the Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP). Our comments address the memorandum's sections concerning validating 'energy savings from projects funded through ECIP. We are providing our comments at this time because we under- stand your staff is modifying the August memorandum to clarify certain aspects of the ECIP energy savings validation process and plans to issue a clarifying memorandum in the near future. Our comments should be viewed as input to this effort. We reported previously 1/ that DOD did not have a systematic method of identifying energy savings resulting from completed ECIP projects. Our report also recognized that DOD had plans to develop a system to determine progress being made in meeting ECIP goals. While we are encouraged by DOD's efforts to improve its ECIP vali- dation program, we are concerned about whether the monitoring pro- gram will adequately meet the oversight needs of the Congress. Thus, we have some comments which we believe should be considered in the current effort to modify the validation procedures. Our comments, which are based on limited work, primarily focus on the recognition of a variety of validation procedures and the selection of projects to be validated. Our work included reviewing DOD regulations and congres- sional hearings, interviewing DOD officials at the installation through the Office of the Secretary levels, reviewing the types of ECIP projects funded and the validation efforts planned and completed, and reviewing other related DOD reports.
