Poll Finds Majority of Government Purchasing Decision-Makers Think Energy Efficiency Is Worth It

摘要

Seventy-Nine Percent of U.S. federal government leaders charged with making recommendations or final decisions on agency purchasing believe that energy efficiency is among the most effective ways to meet energy needs, reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, according to a Zogby International poll sponsored by the Alliance to Save Energy and Schneider Electric. The independent survey of 201 government leaders asked participants to rate the importance of energy efficiency within their agencies, rate the agencies' ability to comply with federal energy-efficiency requirements, identify obstacles to that compliance and identify attitudes toward energy efficiency within the agency.
