Legislative Branch: Energy Audits are Key to Strategy for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions GAO-07-516, April 25, 2007: “Legislative branch operations generated about 316,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in carbon dioxide equivalents) in fiscal year 2006. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by legislative branch operations is equal to the emissions produced by about 57,455 cars and represents an increase of about 4 percent from the average annual quantity emitted in fiscal years 1998 through 2001.”
