Elizabeth Titus, New England Power Service Company• • •
Massachusetts Electric Company (MECO) recently introduced an innovative energy efficiency program targeting low-income customers. This paper presents initial process and impact evaluation results. Key features of the Appliance Management Program (AMP) are: 1) it is fuel-blind, and 2) it offers a...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 21

This paper examines how voluntary home energy ratings systems (HERS) can be married to mandatory energy codes to increase code compliance while providing added benefits to consumers, builders, and code officials. Effective code enforcement and compliance is a common problem for state and local...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 22

In 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced its ENERGY STAR@ Homes program. The purpose of this voluntary program is to reduce a major source of greenhouse warming gases: carbon dioxide emissions from energy use in newly constructed residential buildings. Under this...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 2, Paper 23

This paper documents the energy savings observed for a program operated by the Eugene Water and Electric Board which provided duct sealing for mobile and manufactured homes as its principal measure. Billing data and associated mean outdoor temperature data on more than 400 participants for one or...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 1

Measured data and computer simulations have demonstrated the impact of roof albedo in reducing cooling energy use in buildings. Savings are a function of both climate and the amount of roof insulation. The cooling energy savings for reflective roofs are highest in hot climates. A reflective roof...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 2

An integrated approach was used to evaluate the cost effectiveness of various combinations of energy efficient end-use technologies for the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base Commissary. The commissary's functional characteristics were similar to a large commercial supermarket. A detailed...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 3
W. Mark Arney, Stuart S. Waterbury, Architectural Energy Corporation; Matthew J. Ossi, Honeywell, Inc.• • •
This paper describes a method using short-term monitoring to estimate lighting retrofit savings. This method meets the requirements of Options A and B of the IPMVP (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol, U.S. DOE 1997) This protocol was previously known as the NEMVP (North...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 4

The 1992 ACT2 Commercial Pilot was the first in a series of research projects designed to assess the real world limits of energy efficiency technologies. The authors were the design team project director and the utility project director. The design projected building energy savings in excess of 60...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 5

A detailed survey of energy use and energy use characteristics of Florida's public schools was completed. The mailed survey instrument was sent to over 2,500 schools over the state in March, 1996. Some 1,298 surveys were returned with 677 having matching utility data. The survey data was...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 6
