Environmental Programs: Audit Coverage of DoD Energy Management
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to summarize issues identified in audit reports on DoD energy management of buildings and facilities. Energy efficiency and conservation is an area requiring effective management and emphasis because of rising energy prices and potential supply problems in the United States. DoD leads the Federal Government with approximately 2.2 billion square feet of facilities. In FY 2000, the energy bill for military installations exceeded $2.4 billion. Executive Order 13123, Greening the Government Through Efficient Energy Management, June 3, 1999, and the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002 require DoD to significantly improve its energy management and to report annually progress made toward achieving goals for reductions in energy consumption.
