This article discusses methods, findings, and conclusions related to electric space heating savings due to energy-efficient building standards, known as Model Conservation Standards, in new, low-rise multifamily buildings in Tacoma, Washington. The analyses focus on both unit-level (apartment) and building-level data. In order to obtain estimates of weather-adjusted annual space heating electricity use, electric utility bills are normalized using the Princeton Scorekeeping Method (PRISM). PRISM is applied to samples of treatment (MCS) and control (1983 Current Practice) units and buildings. Occupant surveys are used in both the unit-level and building-level analysis to control for nonclimate influences on energy use. Multivariate regression models are developed from these data to identify the amount of electric space heating savings that can be attributed to the MCS.
