Residential conservation service in Connecticut: evaluation of the CONN SAVE program
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5788714
CONN SAVE is a nonprofit consortium of six electric and gas utilities in Connecticut. CONN SAVE was established to deliver services mandated by the federal Residential Conservation Service. During its first two years of operation, CONN SAVE conducted energy audits among 85 thousand of the 844 thousand Connecticut homes eligible for the program. A detailed quantitative evaluation of the program conducted by Northeast Utilities and Oak Ridge National Laboratory is described. The evaluation involved collection of several types of data from CONN SAVE, fuel suppliers, and households: demographic and economic characteristics and information on recent conservation actions from on-site home interviews, home energy audits for both CONN SAVE participants and nonparticipants, and fuel consumption records for homes heated with electricity, gas, or oil. Altogether, data on 300 participant and 900 nonparticipant homes were obtained. These data were used to address several issues: the potential for residential energy conservation in Connecticut, differences and similarities between participants and nonparticipants, energy savings due to conservation measures installed after Spring 1981 (when the participants received their CONN SAVE audits), and program economics.
