In accord with both the general objective to facilitate the provision of technical support to DOE in its effort to assist in State enforcement of heating/cooling standards implementation and the overriding goal to evaluate the current status of the State Energy Conservation Plan (SECP) program progress, the purpose of this report is to (1) present the findings developed from evaluating the operational feedback obtained which relates to program execution; and , (2) present the results of our analysis and research efforts pertaining to program measure compliance. To this end, the report contains conclusions and pragmatic recommendations for strengthening any apparent program shortcomings. It also addresses the programmatic issue of innovation approach identification and sets forth a framework for improving the SECP MIS. Chapters III and IV deal primarily with an assessment/evaluation of Code compliance in the States of New Jersey and New York, while Chapters V and VI address the subject matter of SECP program measure (cooling standards) implementation in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Chapter VII speaks to the issue of improving data collection systemization. Conclusions gleaned from structurally analyzing the data/information collected in the field and the attendant recommendations which seguel from the findings are articulated in Chapter VIII. An encapsulated delineation of Chapters III through VI is presented in Chapter II, entitled Summarization of Findings. The document also contains tables, charts, descriptive illustrations and other graphics deemed relevant to purpose of further explaining the results achieved under the contract.
