Energy efficiency improvements and investment behavior in small commercial buildings

Abstract

Commercial-sector energy-efficiency programs offer many benefits to utilities, including better understanding of the client base and the determinants of program participation and investment, more precise knowledge of the supply of conservation acquired or available at given cost levels, and feedback on program design. A study of the Northeast Utilities EnergyCHECK audit program provides insights on a number of these issues. Analysis of program data reveals that over 40% of recommended measures were adopted within two years of building audits; that owner occupancy of commercial buildings is an important determinant in conservation decisions; and that the rate of increase in electrical energy use was slowed for participating buildings.
