Summary:

The federal government is the largest single energy user in the nation. In fiscal year 1992, the energy bill for 500,000 federal buildings and facilities came to more than $3.6 billion. The National Energy Conservation Policy Act requires that federal agencies, by the year 2000, cut energy use 20 percent from 1995 levels. This report provides the latest information available on the energy activities at the six largest energy-consuming agencies: the Defense Department, the Energy Department, the Transportation Department, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the General Services Administration, and the Postal Service. GAO identifies (1) energy expenditures, spending on energy conservation, and energy efficiencies achieved; (2) funding sources available for energy conservation measures; and (3) procedures used for tracking them.
