David Lee, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Rick Nevin, ICF, Incorporated; Barbara C. Farhar, National Renewable Energy Laboratory• • •
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) at the National Energy Renewable Laboratory (NREL) are investigating the market value of energy efficiency in residential homes. The demonstrated market value for energy efficiency is crucial to the success of EPA's...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 11
David Lerman, Tacoma Power• • •
In 1995 Tacoma Power initiated a test of residential duct sealing to determine the feasibility of a fill-scale program to improve the duct system in customer homes with central system electric heat. The Residential Duct Sealing Pilot Program was designed with six main goals: 1) determine the...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 12

Demonstration houses that stress energy efficiency have traditionally concentrated on achieving good building performance, but often look experimental and alienate potential developers. This has resulted in a history of demonstration designs with limited market penetration. This ongoing research...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 13
Deirdre Lord, John Snell, Citizens Energy Corporation• • •
Low-income residential customers are expected to be the last group of customers to benefit from electric utility deregulation, if they benefit at all. High transaction costs and low monthly utility bills make the residential market less appealing to suppliers of electricity than larger commercial...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 14
Chris Neme, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation; Jane Peters, Research Into Action; Denise Rouleau, Consortium for Energy Efficiency• • •
The Consortium for Energy Efficiency recently sponsored a study of leading electric utility efforts to promote high efficiency residential HVAC equipment. Given growing concerns from some utilities about the level of expenditures associated with rebate programs, special emphasis was placed on...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 15
Mary O'Drain, Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Timothy O. Caulfield, Equipoise Consulting Inc.• • •
As California enters the final stages of DSM evaluation and verification under regulation, documentation of energy savings persistence (persistence) takes center stage with respect to earnings claims. The California Protocols both simplify and complicate the process of measuring persistence. This...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 16
Howard S. Reichmuth, M. Sami Khawaja, Quantec, LLC• • •
This paper documents the experimental results and energy savings estimate from an end-use and water metering study of a sample of 104 multi-family sites. These sites were treated with a comprehensive Domestic Hot Water (DHW) retrofit consisting of flow efficient 2.0 GPM showerheads, kitchen and...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 17
Jeffrey Siegel, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Bob Davis, Paul Francisco, Larry Palmiter, Ecotope Inc.• • •
This report presents the results of field measurements of heating efficiency performed on eight all-electric manufactured homes sited in the Pacific Northwest with forced-air distribution systems. These homes, like more than four million existing manufactured homes in the United States, were...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 18
Margaret Suozzo, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy• • •
Existing homes in the U.S. represent an enormous but challenging opportunity for cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. Three policy and programmatic approaches that cities, states, and utilities have used to successfully reduce barriers to energy efficiency investments and to bolster the...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 19
Bobbi Tannenbaum, Kathy Kuntz, Energy Center of Wisconsin• • •
This paper explores the issue of low-income energy services in a changing energy and social service environment. The authors identify differences across low-income households in receiving services and dealing with high energy burdens. Low-income households with children, regardless of the age of...
