Energy management seminar. [Seattle City Light's attempt to assist customers in energy efficiency]

Book ·
OSTI ID:5231889

This Energy Management Seminar was conducted by Seattle City Light to assist its customers in making the most efficient use of energy resources available in the area. Practical information to effect immediate savings of 30% or more on utility and fuel bills by improving energy-use efficiency in the Seattle area is given. In addition to those immediate savings, long-term objectives established in an Energy Management Program, often requiring significant technical and engineering changes, are broadly discussed. Seattle City Light has pioneered more-efficient housing standards for a number of years. In 1973 Seattle City Light began its Kilowatt Program, and more recently has engaged in a number of advanced projects, including a sophisticated heat-recovery system for its own office building and Project Weathervane, an experimental solar and wind-powered house. These programs have saved money for the citizens of Seattle in a number of ways, both on the individual bills and through long-term reductions in energy requirements necessitating major new energy sources.
