Download or read book Utility Investments in Low income energy efficiency Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to describe the energy-efficiency programs being operated by utilities for low-income customers. The study focuses, in particular, on programs that install major residential weatherization measures free-of-charge to low-income households. A survey was mailed to a targeted list of 600 utility program managers. Follow-up telephone calls were made to key non- respondents, and a random sample of other non-respondents also was contacted. Completed surveys were received from 180 utilities, 95 of which provided information on one or more of their 1992 low-income energy-efficiency programs for a total of 132 individual programs. These 132 utility programs spent a total of $140.6 million in 1992. This represents 27% of the total program resources available to weatherize the dwellings of low-income households in that year. Both the total funding and the number of programs has grown by 29% since 1989. A majority of the 132 programs are concentrated in a few regions of the country (California, the Pacific Northwest, the Upper Midwest, and the Northeast). Although a majority of the programs are funded by electric utilities, gas utilities have a significantly greater average expenditure per participant ($864 vs. $307 per participant). The most common primary goal of low-income energy-efficiency programs operating in 1992 was {open_quotes}to make energy services more affordable to low-income customers{close_quotes}. Only 44% of the programs were operated primarily to provide a cost-effective energy resource. Based on a review of household and measure selection criteria, equity and not the efficiency of resource acquisition appears to dominate the design of these programs.

Download or read book Market Transformation written by Ralph Prahl and published by Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc Incorporated. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some point in the early 1990s, a change began to occur in the way many demand-side management professionals thought about how to achieve greater energy efficiency in society. Instead of focusing on encouraging individual utility customers to adopt energy efficient measures, they began to see their ultimate objective as permanently removing the market barriers impeding measure adoption, and thus improving the fundamental structure and functioning of energy efficiency markets. Over the course of several years, this basic change in perspective came to be known as market transformation. This issue of the Energy Services Journal reviews the current thinking and experience in the area of market transformation by canvassing the past experience of utilities and government agencies in attempting to transform energy efficiency markets; reviewing a number of important new initiatives; and exploring some of the planning and evaluation issues raised by this new policy objective.

Download or read book Acquisitions Core Concepts and Practices Second Edition written by Jesse Holden and published by American Library Association. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a discipline, acquisitions encompasses everything from purchasing and budgeting to enabling access to materials; and every format from books, monographs, and serials to e-books, subscription-based electronic resources, and beyond. In this guide, Holden boils it to down to its essentials while providing a strategic framework that introduces and integrates all aspects of acquisitions. Using a holistic, hands-on approach that's as useful for working librarians as for those studying the profession, this book provides an overview of acquisitions as a library profession, with a discussion of basic competencies, notions of ethics, and the organizing principle of "assemblage"; lays out a robust conceptual framework that unifies disparate aspects of acquisitions work and synthesizes its practical aspects; thoroughly examines content acquisitions in all formats, with an in-depth look at digital materials; covers such important trends as the rise of e-books, the ramifications of mobile devices as a mode of content access and interaction, demand-driven acquisition, and shifting expectations regarding paid-for content; tracks advancements in technology, including the widespread implementation of discovery services for content searching; underscores the responsive service component of acquisitions as informed by user expectations, community feedback, and usage standards such as COUNTER and SUSHI; addresses budgetary issues such as changes in services offered by vendors and subscription agents, and the emergence of a "new normal" for budget constraints and expectations resulting from the recession; and looks ahead to what anticipated changes to acquisitions means for the future Presenting a model that's both comprehensive and flexible, Holden demonstrates how technical competencies and ethical imperatives can inform the day-to-day workflow of acquisition librarians.
