The Solar In Federal Buildings Demonstration Program

Abstract

We have surveyed the efforts being made by the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop and implement the Solar in Federal Buildings Demonstration Program that was proposed by the President in the National Energy Plan (NEP) and enacted by the Congress as part of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA). In this respect, on January 30, 1979, we sent you a letter in which we identified a number of issues and questions regarding this new program and its relationship to other Federal solar efforts. From our evaluation of your Department's response to that letter, our review of various documents that have become available since the date of our letter, and discussions with DOE officials, we believe that the major issues which we brought to your attention are still not being properly addressed by DOE.
