Study of energy: saving options for refrigerators and water heaters. Volume I. Refrigerators
Energy consumed at point of use by home appliances is 6.8% of the U.S. energy budget. Within this appliance energy sector, over half of the energy goes to water heaters and refrigerators. The purpose of this report is to provide the Federal Energy Administration with a comprehensive source document detailing the effect of design changes on refrigerator energy consumption and cost to the consumer. The source document is designed to provide the FEA with a measure of various energy efficiency targets that may be technologically and economically feasible by 1980. Manufacturing feasibility and market forces are considered in order to identify practical design options that could be incorporated most readily into commercial products.
