Book Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States

Download or read book Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Book Predicting the Potential for Energy Efficiency Retrofits in Single family Homes

Download or read book Predicting the Potential for Energy Efficiency Retrofits in Single family Homes written by Kaitlin Ryan Goldstein and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the lack of data on the United States' housing stock has been one of the primary barriers to market penetration of residential energy efficiency retrofits. Without knowledge of the homes and customers to reach, outreach has been untargeted and inefficient. As such, a study was performed to determine whether the potential for residential energy efficiency retrofit could be determined in the absence of utility data. The first phase of the research investigated the best pre-retrofit gas consumption metric to predict post-retrofit savings. Energy intensity (weather normalized total gas consumption per square foot) was chosen from four distinct metrics as the best corollary to energy savings. The second phase attempted to predict the pre-usage metric from phase one using only home characteristics and demographics, and the most predictive variables were determined. Data mining techniques were then explored to predict retrofit candidacy using energy intensity as a proxy. After showing that this was difficult to predict even when utility data was available, the progression to the third phase was reconsidered but explored. The models did not perform as expected for three reasons: 1) the marketing variables were not clean/accurate enough 2) the marketing variables did not explain enough of the variance in energy intensity and, 3) the connection between energy intensity and retrofit candidacy was not sufficiently well defined. While a definitive model of retrofit candidacy in the absence of utility data was not found, the research completed offers: 1) a mechanism by which to connect retrofit savings data to homes that have not yet undergone retrofit 2) an in-depth look at using publicly available variables to predict home energy consumption and, 3) a detailed examination of the connection between retrofit potential and raw gas utility data.
