Energy efficiency resources in existing residences served by natural gas in Washington State. General assessment of conservation costs
This report analyzes and tabulates the cost of energy efficiency measures as they apply to Washington`s existing housing stock that depends on natural gas for space and water heat. The report focuses on estimating the cost of conserving therms of natural gas with efficiency measures. These costs are calculated from the economic perspective of a natural gas utility looking to make cost-effective utility investments. The cost of conserving therms of natural gas is calculated in a manner that permits comparison to the estimated cost of future gas suppliers.
