A review of North Carolina's proposed conservation plan was completed. The target of the North Carolina plan, as a whole, is to reduce the State's 1980 energy consumption by 98.87 trillion Btu. This, measured against the 1980 baseline projection for North Carolina of 1736.08 trillion Btu equals a 5.69% savings. Approximately 20.503 trillion Btu (20.7%) of North Carolina's savings come from the five required program measures, which involve state building codes and thermal-efficiency standards, lighting standards for public buildings, life-cycle-cost analysis, increase in transit level of transportation systems, right turn on red. The savings, measured across end-use sectors, resulted in an absolute decrease in every environmental residual measured from each fuel consumed within each sector.
