In the past ten years, energy conservation efforts have greatly expanded. The buildings sector, which accounts for 20 percent of current U.S. energy consumption, has been the focus of most of these efforts.
Energy-efficiency technologies and programs, resource planning and policymaking, and data collection and analysis methodologies have each played an integral role in promoting energy efficiency. Accordingly, this book provides a useful and practical compilation of the state of the art in these areas.
The chapters in the book--written by leading researchers, program analysts and policymakers--are based on papers prepared for the ACEEE 1990 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings. A variety of perspectives are included: design and implementation of government and utility programs; appliance standards; collection and analysis of buildings energy data; and integrated resource planning. In addition, each chapter addresses promising directions for designing and implementing future research and programs for promoting energy efficiency in buildings.
