Report To The Congress

Millions Can Be Saved Through
Better Energy Management In
Federal Hospitals
A comparison of the energy savings
achieved by hospitals of the Navy, Veterans
Administration, and Indian Health Serv
ice--all of which have energy conservation
programs--with that of five non-Federal
hospitals having aggressive energy man-
agement programs indicated that these
agencies could save between $16 million
and $55 million more each year if additional
energy-saving measures were adopted. The
investment required to achieve these sav-
ings would be quickly recouped. GAO be-
lieves that additional energy-saving oppor-
tunities also exist at the Army and Air Force
hospitals.
Two important program elements--techni-
cal audits to identify cost-effective energy
conservation measures and accountability
to ensure that the measures are imple-
mented--are generally missing or incom-
plete in Federal hospitals' energy conserva-
tion efforts. By increasing emphasis on
these elements, Federal agencies could
achieve many of the yet unrealized energy
savings.
