Intro -- FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY GOALS -- FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY GOALS -- CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- Chapter 1 Federal energy Management Agencies are Acquiring Alternative Fuel Vehicles but Face Challenges in Meeting Other Fleet Objectives( -- Why GAO Did This Study -- What GAO Recommends -- What GAO Found -- Results in Brief -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for Executive Action -- Matter for Congressional Consideration -- Appendix I -- Background -- Establishment of Federal Fleet Energy Objectives -- Fleet Performance FY 2007 -- Federal Agencies Had Mixed Results in Meeting the Energy Objectives for the Federal Fleet in 2007 -- Most Agencies Met the AFV Acquisition Requirement but Received Credit For AFVs That Were Not Subject to the Requirement -- DOE and Agencies Did Not Report on Agencies' Compliance with Alternative-Fuel-Only Fueling Requirement for 2007 -- However, Our Analysis Indicates That Agencies Did Not Meet the Requirement -- Over Half of the Agencies Reported Meeting the Goal of Increasing Their Use of Alternative Fuel by 10 Percent, but Data Are Unreliable -- Two-Thirds of the Agencies Reported Meeting the Petroleum Reduction Goal, but the Data Are Unreliable -- Because of the Lack of Availability, No Agency Met the Goal to Acquire Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles -- Projected Performance -- Agencies Will Likely Face Challenges in Meeting All but One of the Fleet Objectives -- Agencies Will Likely Continue to Meet AFV Acquisition Requirement in the Future -- Insufficient Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Will Likely Hinder Agencies' Ability to Fuel AFVs Exclusively with Alternative Fuel -- Insufficient Infrastructure Will Also Likely Hinder Agencies from Increasing Their Use of Alternative Fuel by 10 Percent Annually.
Agencies' Prospects for Significantly Reducing Petroleum Use in the Future Are Uncertain -- Projected Performance -- Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles Are Unlikely to Be Widely Available Before 2010 at the Earliest -- Conclusions and Recommendations -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for Executive Action -- Comments from the General Services Administration -- Matter for Congressional Consideration -- End Notes -- Chapter 2 Federal Energy Management Addressing Challenges through Better Plans and Clarifying the Greenhouse Gas Emission Measure Will Help Meet Long-term Goals for Buildings( -- Why GAO Did This Study -- What GAO Recommends -- What GAO Found -- Abbreviations -- Results in Brief -- Background -- DOE Reports That Most Federal Agencies Met Fiscal Year 2007 Energy Goals -- Assessing Progress toward the Goals Over Time Is Problematic Due to Key Changes in the Goals and How Performance Is Measured -- Agencies' Prospects for Meeting Energy Goals in the Future Depend on Addressing Four Challenges -- Agencies' Planning Documents We Reviewed Lack Key Elements Needed to Guide Achievement of Long-term Energy Goals -- Constrained Budgets Limit Agencies' Ability to Undertake Energy Projects, and Agencies Are Turning to Alternative Financing -- Agencies Face Measurement and Data Reliability Challenges but Are Taking Steps to Address Them -- Some Sites Lack Expertise and Dedicated Energy Management Staff to Ensure Adherence to Goals, but Officials Are Taking Steps to Address These Challenges -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for Executive Action -- Appendix I -- Appendix II. Comments from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration -- Appendix III. Comments from the United States Postal Service -- Appendix IV. Comments from the Department of Veterans Affairs -- End Notes -- INDEX -- Blank Page. |
