UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 2 05 8R L A E RELEASED RESOURCES. COMMUNITY. AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION B-218991 JUNE 6,1985 The Honorable Edward J. Markey Chairman, Subcommittee on Eneray Conservation and Power Committee on Energy and Commerce 127370 House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Overview of the Department of Defense's Progress in Achievinq Energy Conservation (GAO/RCED-85-122) In response to the request of the former Chairman of the Sub- committee, and as reaffirmed by your request of March 11, 1985, we obtained information on the efforts of the Department of Defense (DOD) to manage its use of eneray. This work is a follow-on to our previous reports to the Subcommittee on the status of the Federal Energy Manaaement Program (FEMP) and on the efforts of selected civilian agencies to manage their use of eneray. (GAO/RCED-84-86, Mar. 7, 1984, and GAO/RCED-84-200, Sept. 21, 1984, respectively.) This report discusses the activities of the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, whose buildings and facilities account for about 70 percent of the energy used in all federal buildings and facili- ties. Marine Corps energy use is included with that of the Navy. You asked that we provide you with information on DOD's progress in manaqinq its use of energy, with particular attention to its proqress in meeting four federally mandated energy conser- vation goals. The information we obtained is contained in enclosure I to this report, which discusses our objectives, scope, and methodology and provides a brief background on federal energy use and Oetails on the results of our work. DOD has made progress in manaqinq its use of energy. In some instances, all three services have met energy conservation goals. In other instances, none of the services will meet goals or the degree of goal attainment varies. For example, from the informa- tion we obtained, we found that all three services have met the goal for a 30-percent reduction in petroleum use in buildings and were meetinq the goal of makina new buildings 45 percent more (308908)
