U.S. Federal Government Offers Comprehensive Annual Energy Data and Sustainability Performance

Here’s something new for you fans of statistics: Through the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), the U.S. Department of Energy provides a “Comprehensive Annual Energy Data and Sustainability Performance including FY 2013 reported findings.”

According to the site, it: …offers complete annual data sets of agency aggregated annual energy and water consumption and costs by end-use sector, efficiency investment information, and progress toward key goals outlined in the National Energy Conservation Policy Act. 

This is actually a very good thing.  If you can’t (or don’t) measure something, it’s hard to improve on it.
