Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper focuses on residential energy as an input to the production of flows of housing services. This perspective forms the basis for analyzing the effects of energy regulation upon natural and induced 'conservation, ' the utilization of residential capital, and the well-being of consumers in the housing market."--Page 1

Book excerpt: Arguing that the energy price policies of the 1970s represented a major equity/efficiency trade-off and led to a dramatic decline in the living standard of lower income Americans, this book presents a comprehensive data-based assessment of the plight of lower income households between 1973 and 1983.

Book excerpt: The results of a preliminary study on the impacts of several national energy conservation standards that apply to manufactured housing (mobile homes) and conventional site-built housing are presented. The housing market and how these standards affect the overall energy economics of these two housing types are briefly discussed. (BCS).

Book excerpt: The 2003 European Performance of Buildings Directive mandated all EU member states to enforce disclosure on the energy performance of residential and commercial properties. This is the first paper to analyse the introduction, adoption and market implications of energy labels (EPCs) in the housing market. We use a unique dataset on housing transactions in the Netherlands, including 194,000 transactions since the introduction of energy labels in January 2008. The results show that when energy performance certification is not mandatory, adoption rates are low and declining over time. Labels are clustered among post-war, single-family homes in more expensive, low-density neighbourhoods, where competition among buyers is low. This provides an indication that energy labels are adopted as a strategic tool in the transaction process. We also document that adoption rates of energy labels are highest in areas that have a high propensity of green voters during national elections, which implies that idealistic motives may also play a role in the decision to adopt an energy label. The energy label seems to carry a moderately powerful market signal. We analyse the impact of energy labels on the transaction process of homes and find that the label does not affect time on the market. However, within the sample of certified homes, we document a significant price premium for homes with an energy label that reflects high standards of energy efficiency. The size of the green increment is positively related to the underlying energy efficiency of a dwelling and this result holds while controlling for various detailed hedonic features, such as quality of insulation and the maintenance of the exterior. Even though the label adoption rate is declining over time, the label premium is relatively constant. The energy label seems to create transparency in energy consumption of dwellings and our analysis shows that consumers capitalize this information in the price of their prospective home.

This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has examined the role of manufactured housing in the housing market, the energy impacts of three manufactured housing standards and three site-built standards in 13 cities, and the economic impacts of those standards in 6 cities. The three standards applied to manufactured housing are the HUD Title VI standard (Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, or MHCSS), the Hud Title II-E standard, and the existing FmHA Title V standard. Those applied to site-built homes are the HUD Minimum Property Standards (MPS), the ASHRAE 90A-80 standard, and the FmHA Title V standard. Based on energy consumption alone, these analyses show that the FmHA Title V standard is the most stringent standard for both housing types (a single-section menufactured home and a single-story detached ''ranch house''). The HUD Title VI standard is the least stringent for manufactured homes, while the HUD Minimum Property Standards are the least stringent for site-built homes. Cost-effectiveness comparisons required by the Act were made for the two prototypical homes. Results of this preliminary economic analysis indicate that none of the site-built standards reflect minimum life-cycle cost as a basic criterion of their development. For manufactured homes, both the FmHA standard and the HUD Title II-E standard reduce life-cycle cost and effect positive first-year cash flows in all cities analyzed when electric resistance heating is assumed. When natural gas heating is used, both standards pass the life-cycle cost test in all cities, but the FmHA standard fails the cash flow test in all but one city. However, in the worst case, net monthly expenditures in the first year are increased by less than $9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explores the effects of government regulations on housing costs in all areas in which housing construction is touched by government. From the national to the local level, the impact of zoning laws, environmental controls, building codes, settlement and financing regulations, and other regulations are assessed in terms of mandated dollars which developers and builders--and thus the consumer--must spend. Based on a national sampling of interviews and case studies, this volume explores regulatory cost implications and shows how to determine the total cost effect of government regulations on housing costs.
