Potential for energy conservation: St. Louis Case Study
The method of approach to study energy conservation potential in St. Louis is described. It is observed that the key features of St. Louis are: uncertainty of population and economic projections; growth of suburban areas and decline of the inner city during the past two decades; inner city has numerous social/economic problems; inadequate (economically suboptimal) levels of energy conservation in existing buildings and in new construction; limited public transportation within SMSA; high level of complexity in the governmental organizations; lack of sophistication in energy planning particularly in the public sector; and small and not very influential environmental/energy conservation public interest groups. Specific areas chosen to study the technical and economic potential for energy conservation in the St. Louis SMSA are space heating and appliance energy use. An Appendix, Institutions in St. Louis: Their Influence on Energy Planning, lists the following: local energy decisionmakers, existing energy conservation programs (all sectors), and existing renewable resource programs.
