Title: Revised Missouri State energy conservation plan

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6630888

In May of 1977 the Missouri Energy Conservation Plan was submitted to the Federal government in accordance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA). In August of 1977 the state submitted a supplemental energy conservation plan as a result of the Energy Conservation and Production Act of 1976 (ECPA). These two documents are the basis for energy conservation efforts in the state. Additional projects, such as the Energy Extension Service (EES), are also being studied and implemented. To facilitate implementation and management, these two components (EPCA, ECPA) have been integrated within the revised Missouri Energy Conservation Plan to provide a foundation for a comprehensive state conservation program. This document provides a summary of each program measure included in the Base and Supplemental Plans as well as implementation strategies. The original Plan incorporated five mandated energy conservation measures required by EPCA and included additional measures that are estimated to conserve 5.2% of the projected annual energy usage for 1980. Six mandatory measures are included in the revised version: mandatory thermal efficiency standards for new and renovated buildings; mandatory lighting efficiency standards for public buildings; ridesharing demonstration and promotion; state and local government procurement practices; and right turn on red. Recommendations are discussed for the industrial/commercial and residential sectors. Public education and awareness measures, governmental/institutional measures, and intergovernmental measures are included. Other measures recommended include waste oil recycling and public education in the agriculture sector.
