Title: The residential standards demonstration program: Occupant survey analysis

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7036588· OSTI ID:7036588

The Pacific Northwest is currently experiencing a dramatic and exciting transformation in the way the region produces and consumes energy. Prompted by federal legislation and local initiative, the region is promoting the conservation of energy as the primary new energy resource. In the residential sector, energy efficiency standards for new construction have been proposed, and a demonstration program is underway to examine the costs and energy savings associated with building houses to levels of higher energy efficiency. In this report, the participants in the demonstration program are examined to determine the similarities and differences of people living in ''super'' energy efficient houses compared to occupants of ''current practice'' (''control'') houses.
