Jensen, G F

A demonstration project undertaken in Utah designed to test a Home Energy Saver Program (funded by the Federal Energy Administration) is described. The basic purposes of the program were: (1) to encourage and bring about a significant reduction in home energy use, and (2) to test the impact of various energy conservation research elements on homeowners' participation. The principal research elements tested were: direct mailing of HESP workbooks to single family homeowners; use of a telephone hotline; use of workshops; use of a coordinated media program; and use of church and community support. In addition, the impact of a contest drawing, designed to motivate homeowners to compute their potential annual energy savings, was tested. (MCW)
