Emerging technologies represent the newest segment of products with the potential to reduce energy consumption. Periodic reviews of these technologies enables concentration on developing the strongest contenders. This analysis, the fourth of its kind, highlights 15 of the most promising heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) emerging technologies. Full adoption of these technologies would reduce projected US energy consumption by 0.5% – 1% per year. One important finding of this study is that the "well" of emerging technologies and practices has not been drawn down; it continues to yield many promising measures with high energy savings potential.
The technologies covered include:
The commonwealth spends almost $11 billion a year buying energy from out of state. Mass Save lowers bills and keeps money at home.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
Home energy report programs, in which utilities provide households with personalized insights into their energy use and tips to lower their bills, are a…
