Mr.  Robert L. Faith, Director
National Aviation  Facilities
  Experimental  Center
Atlantic  City, New Jersey  08405

Dear Mr.  Faith:

     The  U.S. General Accounting Office is conducting a nationwide
review of energy  conservation programs at selected Government field
activities.  Our  purpose is to evaluate the conservation efforts made
to date and to  identify opportunities to improve energy conservation
practices.   In this connection, we have completed a review of the
energy conservation efforts  undertaken at your installation.  The
purpose of this  letter is to advise you of the results of this review
and to suggest possible ways  to improve your program.

Energy Conservation Measures

     A number of energy conservation measures  have been implemented
at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental  Center (NAFEC) within
the past 2 years with  respect to (1) buildings and grounds, (2) air-
craft maintenance facilities,  (3) aircraft flight activity and
operations, and  (4) motor vehicle operations.  Some of these measures
included:

     --installing time clocks on thermostats to  reduce heating during
       off-duty hours,

     --resetting thermostats to 68 degrees and securing  them to
       prevent subsequent changes by building occupants,

     --inspecting, cleaning, and adjusting all boilers  for maximum
       efficiency and lowering steam pressures  in central boiler
       plants,

     --caulking and sealing all windows and sealing window  air
       conditioners to prevent air leakage,

     --reducing interior and exterior lighting  including aircraft
       runway lighting,
