Report To The Secretary Of Defense







Improved Energy Management ,In The

Facility Design Process Should

Reduce Operating Costs For DOD



DOD spends billions of dollars annually for
the energy its buildings consume. DOD's
efforts in recent years have reduced build-
ings' energy use, but more needs to be done
to better insure that new buildings are
designed and constructed to be energy effi-
cient. GAO found that:

  --DOD was providing building designers
    unrealistic energy usage objectives.

  --The services have issued inconsistent
    energy design guidelines.

  --The Army and Navy implemented
    energy conservation requirements dif-
    ferently, inadequately controlled and
    reviewed designers' submissions, and
    selected designers without proper at-
    tention to their energy conservation
    expertise.
 GAO is recommending actions to better
 insure the design of energy efficient military
 buildings.
