MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions Program
I have invoked "Standby Conservation Plan No. 2, Emergency
Building Temperature Restrictions" (the Plan), which estab-
lishes limits on temperature settings for heating, cooling,
and water heating in commercial, industrial and other
non-residential buildings. The Plan became effective on
July 16, 1979. I believe it is important that the Federal
Government take the lead in setting an example of compliance
with the requirements of this program.
Under the Plan, the Department of Energy has primary respon-
sibility for administering this program. Secretary James R.
Schlesinger has delegated to each Federal agency head certain
responsibilities for assuring his or her agency's compliance.
I am directing all agency heads to give this effort their full
cooperation in order to ensure the success of the program.
The specific obligations of each agency head are enumerated
in Secretary Schlesinger's delegation letter.
In order to make building temperature restrictions uniform
between Government-owned and privately-owned buildings, the
directive about thermostats in my April 10, 1979, memorandum
to all agency heads is hereby rescinded.
