This report describes the multiple benefits of energy efficiency in multifamily retrofit programs and discusses particular ways of establishing their value so administrators can include them in cost-effectiveness testing. Multiple benefits are the impacts of energy efficiency improvements beyond energy savings. Most tests used by regulators do not include the value of benefits beyond the cost of energy saved, even though the tests are designed to include them. Such benefits are particularly relevant to multifamily efficiency programs where outcomes like reduced maintenance, health, and comfort are salient results of energy efficiency work.
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…
