This historical publication was produced by the Department Energy Task Force which was Co-Chaired by the Office of Policy Development and Research and the Office of Community Planning and Development. The goal of the task force was to support the President’s National Energy Policy which aimed to promote energy efficiency and conservation through reporting energy use of consumer purchases, setting standards for energy efficient products, and encouraging industry to develop more efficient products. This Action plan addresses improving energy usage in HUD-assisted rental housing, expanding the usage of Energy Efficient Mortgages, providing technical assistance on energy issues to nonprofits and faith-based organizations, and researching and developing new energy-efficient technologies.
