The Institutional Conservation Program (ICP) is one of several state energy conservation grant programs signed into law as part of the National Energy Conservation Program Act in 1978. Known originally as the Institutional Buildings Grant Program, and commonly called the Schools and Hospitals program, ICP in the last seven years has provided matching grants for states and institutional buildings to identify and implement energy conservation retrofits. In FY 1982, the national appropriation for ICP was significantly reduced. In 1984 this study was initiated to analyze new directions for the program. This volume outlines the most frequently repeated suggestions: Innovative Financing Opportunities; Training and Technical Assistance Possibilities; and Other Changes, Improvements, and Assessments. It does not attempt to suggest the benefits or difficulties associated with each suggestion, nor does it indicate the level of activity involved. Rather, the list highlights the wide range of suggestions and options available to people interested in considering new ways to encourage energy conservation in institutional buildings.
