OSTI ID:5165151
This report summarizes four studies that were perfomed to provide support to states and utilities by developing insight into the types of buildings covered by the Commercial and Apartment Conservation Service Program (CACS) and their energy-saving potential. These four studies determined the physical and operating characteristics of eligible buildings, assessed the applicability of CACS program retrofit measures and operating and maintenance procedures, and estimated energy and cost savings of selected retrofits based on prototypical buildings. The installed costs for conservation measures were estimated using the Cost and Specification Guideline and various R.S. Means publications. The cost-effectiveness of most measures was found to be strongly affected by climate, although a few measures - including lighting system changes and automatic controls in small commercial buildings and weather stripping and thermostat control in appartment buildings - were found to have short, simple paybacks everywhere. A few measures, including storm windows and storm doors on small commercial buildings and replacement thermal windows in apartment buildings, were not cost-effective anywhere. 10 refs., 26 figs.
