Achieving energy efficiency in existing buildings: legislative issue memorandum. Staff report (final)

Technical Report · Tue Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1980

OSTI ID:5555945

This report assesses the potential for energy savings from retrofit of residential buildings in California and compares the cost of retrofit measures to the cost of incremental supply sources of electricity and natural gas. It examines existing programs aimed at residential retrofit including the Residential Conservation Service, tax incentives, utility financing and local ordinances requiring retrofit of existing buildings, and discusses pending legislation requiring mandatory retrofit on a statewide basis. Appendices provide detailed information on energy and cost savings estimates, California energy use, and impacts of utility financing programs with zero-interest and deferral of principal payment until time of sale of property.
