Energy efficient new homes programs: Utility experiences
Conference

OSTI ID:6172440
In 1986, the Bonneville Power Administration and many Pacific Northwest utilities embarked on an unparalleled effort to encourage the construction of new homes in the BPA region that go beyond current levels of space heating energy efficiency. By 1995, regional power plans call for 85% of new, electrically space heated homes to be built to these levels, termed the Model Conservation Standards (MCS) by their proposer, the Northwest Power Planning Council. To assist in the development of utility-sponsored new homes programs in the Northwest, a survey was conducted of utilities that have had practical experience in efforts to increase the efficiency of new homes built in their service areas. This paper discusses the results of that survey.
