Planning for energy conservation R and D: a review of the DOE's (Department of Energy's) planning process. Final report
Since 1981, the Department of Energy (DOE) has spent over one billion dollars in support of research and development to enhance energy efficiency in industry, buildings, and transportation. In 1984 the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Conservation initiated a multi-year planning process in which on-going programs were assessed, adjustments made, and a five year projection of federal support for research and development programs is articulated. While the new planning process has been effective, the DOE requested a critique of it's planning process and recommendations on ways to strengthen the plan. In response to this request, the Committee was formed to critique DOE's planning process for federally sponsored research and development. The report analyzes the legislative context, the process of management, and the degree to which the resulting portfolio is related to conservation goals and objectives.
