Trends in the energy efficiency of residential electric appliances. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5983170
This report focuses on trends in the efficiencies of residential electrical appliances. Data are presented on the saturation level of appliances by function and fuel type, energy use by function and fuel type, shipment-weighted average energy efficiency trends, and the range of efficiencies of currently-available appliances. Areas where research effort is needed to improve appliance energy efficiencies beyond current levels are identified by product type. A detailed compilation of state energy efficiency standards for air conditioners, furnaces, water heaters, and other appliances is presented as well as information on federal labeling regulations and electric utility appliance incentive programs. A qualitative assessment is made of how these institutional activities have influenced appliance energy efficiencies.
