Assessing the local economic implications of two residential energy efficiency standards
Abstract Despite temporary and downward price fluctuations in some energy markets, the long-run energy picture remains one of decreasing supplies and increasing prices. If a municipality can devise a strategy to reduce energy consumption in its residential sector, then it may reduce the outflow of energy dollars, giving individuals more disposable income to spend on other goods and services in the local economy. Various state and local governments in the U.S. have conducted analyses of their local energy situation and have developed policies to promote conservation. Two residential space conditioning strategies, building energy performance standards and energy efficiency resale standards, and their potential for savings, are assessed. Estimating the impact of energy conservation is a necessary step in justifying local energy programs. This paper outlines an energy analysis method that is understandable to local administrators, is easy and inexpensive to implement and has important policy implications.
