DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6728745· OSTI ID:6728745

A report on DOE's In-house Energy Management Program for reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency in all of its facilities and operations is presented. Programs in energy conservation surveys and studies, retrofit projects, fuel conversion projects, operation and maintenance improvements, driver training, and employee awareness have enabled the department to reduce its energy consumption in FY 1979 by 12.7% in BTU per gross sq. ft. as compared to 1973. Total cost of energy conservation projects in 1979 was $11.455 million. Cost avoidance as a result of implementing these programs is expected to be $3.75 million annually. To date, DOE has invested $51.4 million in retrofit projects.
