      "title": "Energy Efficiency in Congressional Buildings",
      "summary": "This report describes energy efficiency requirements applicable to congressional buildings and\nthe\nenergy saving activities being undertaken in the Capitol complex. The Architect of the Capitol\n(AOC) has the authority and responsibility to provide energy services and implement energy\nefficiency measures in congressional buildings. Congress has used legislative appropriations bills\nto establish energy efficiency measures under AOC. In the early 1990s, Congress funded an energy\nefficient lighting initiative for congressional buildings. In 1998, Congress set a goal for 2005 to\nimprove energy efficiency by 20%. A brief comparison with the 30% energy efficiency goal of the\nexecutive branch suggests that the current goal for AOC is lower in absolute percentage, but calls\nfor a higher rate of improvement. Also, AOC does not currently have access to the funding and staff\nresources that the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program provides for\nexecutive branch agencies.",
