Buck and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to address the three limitations of previous research as identified by the Western Region W-139 Technical Committee (1980). First, specific hypotheses were tested. Second, through hypotheses testing, understanding was gained of energy conservation behavior and energy problem perceptions. Third, the sample size was large enough to allow for detailed statistical analysis of the influence of housing tenure as outlined in the objectives of the W-159 Western Region Project. The Oregon data from the Western Regional Project W-159: "Consequences of Energy Conservation Policies for Western Region Households" were used. Data were collected in March 1981 by mail questionnaire from the stratified (50% rural/50% urban) random sample of 1503 Oregonians. The data base consisted of 812 responses, 118 from Oregon renters and 694 from nonrenters. Chi square statistical tests were used to test relationships between energy-related beliefs and home energy conservation behavior and between three belief requirements and actual behavior. The results of the chi square tests indicated: 1) renters and nonrenters both felt there is a serious energy problem, 2) renters significantly felt their homes to be less energy efficient and in need of more improvement than did nonrenters, 3) renters and nonrenters opposed requiring home thermostats for heating to be set no higher than 65°F in the winter, 4) renters more strongly favored while nonrenters more strongly opposed the requirement to set home thermostats for cooling no lower than 78°F in the summer, 5) renters and nonrenters favored providing larger tax credits for improving home energy efficiency, 6) renters and nonrenters significantly differed in their addition of structural energy-saving measures with nonrenters adding and renters not adding these measures, 7) renters and nonrenters did not significantly differ in their effort toward no-cost energy-saving measures; both renters and nonrenters did these efforts, 8) there were significant relationships between renters' and nonrenters' beliefs about the three policy requirements and their actual behavior. Understanding renters' energy beliefs and conservation behavior can benefit local and state government planners and housing officials, Oregon legislators, utility companies, educators, and researchers.

Book excerpt: Energy efficiency is the goal of many homeowners and businesses. Energy savings can be achieved through a variety of measures, from simple changes in lifestyle to larger investments in energy-efficient products. One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy costs is to reduce the amount of energy used. Homeowners can do this by taking simple steps such as turning off lights and appliances when not in use, using natural light whenever possible, and using energy-efficient light bulbs. Businesses can also reduce energy use by installing energy-efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems, and water-saving devices. Installing energy-efficient products can also help reduce energy costs. Many appliances, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers, now come with energy-efficient models that use less energy than older models. Installing energy-efficient windows and doors can also help improve a home’s energy efficiency. Finally, investing in renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines can also help reduce energy costs. Renewable energy sources can provide clean, renewable power to homes and businesses, reducing the need to rely on traditional energy sources. By taking simple steps to reduce energy use and investing in energy-efficient products, homeowners and businesses can make significant energy savings. Over time, these energy savings can add up to significant long-term savings and help protect the environment.
