The purpose of the work reported here is to determine the energy savings attributable to the DOE Institutional Conservation Program (ICP). This study was carried out as one part of a broader evaluation of the ICP performed by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. The goal of the Evaluation Project is ''to identify the most successful conservation measures (equipment and activities) available to the institutional buildings sector.'' Within this broader context, the specific objective of this study is to determine the impact of the ICP grants program in fostering energy efficiency and in saving energy. This study estimates the aggregate energy savings attributable to retrofit activity in the institutional sector directly or indirectly attributable to ICP, and the remaining opportunities for saving energy. The calculation of aggregate energy savings was divided into two parts: the first considers the impact on energy use of energy conservation measures (ECMs) installed with ICP support (''direct savings''). The second considers how ICP may have influenced institutions that have installed ECMs without ICP support. The energy savings in this case are partially attributable to ICP and are referred to as ''indirect savings.'' For all calculations, energy savings are determined separately for the three subsectors of the institutional sector eligible for ICP support: primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and hospitals. All results are expressed in resource energy units and constant 1987 dollars.
