Primary energy consumption for service (potable) water heating accounts for 10% of total residential and commercial energy usedin buildings. This amounts to over 3 quads annually. If all currently installed water heaters were replaced with commercially available high-efficiency water heaters,...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 3

The full potential of energy efficiency, occupancy satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability for any building cannot be achieve dwithout using an integrated design team approach. The expertise needed at each step crosses conventional design discipline boundaries. This process is...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 4

In one fashion or another, building safety codes and standards have existed for thousands of years. Building energy codes, on the other hand, are relatively new. The first U.S. building energy standard was developed in the mid 1970’s, immediately following the first “oil crisis....1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 5

As utilities in California and across the nation face regulatory restructuring, new policies have resulted in a re-focusing of efficiency programs toward the objectives of “market transformation”, Utilities, efficiency organizations,and policy-makers are responding by trying to...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 6

If we are to increase the energy performance of buildings beyond what is now possible, we can no longer afford to think of a building’s systems and components as independent of one another. With emerging trends in building technology, it is becoming possible to design buildings (or groups...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 7

The U.S. market for domestic clothes washers is currently dominated by conventional vertical axis washers that typically require approximately 40 gallons of water for each wash load. Although the current market for high efficiency clothes washers that use much less water and energy is quite small...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 8

Energy efllciency is moving into the foreground of consumer awareness at the same time that glazing technologies are rapidly improving and high-performance glazing is becoming accessible to the general public. The combination of these factors has created a need for an accurate window performance...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 10, Paper 9

Air source heat pump water heaters (HPWHS) have been available in the U.S. since the early 1980s, but never reached annual sales greater than 10,000 units. While HPWHS can offer energy savings of as much as 67% over conventional electric resistance water heaters, their relatively high first cost...
