Title: Housing Stock Characterization Study. An Innovative Approach to Measuring Retrofit Impact

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1219770· OSTI ID:1219770

A residential energy efficiency retrofit loan program depends on a self-sustaining finance option and optimized retrofit measures that recoup their unsubsidized costs through energy bill savings alone within the useful life of the retrofit. A first step in evaluating retrofit options is to measure and verify their energy savings. This report evaluates Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) residential energy-efficiency demand side management (DSM) programs to assess their relative energy and economic performance.
