Virginia's proposed conservation plan was completed. The impact of the Virginia plan, as a whole, will be - if successful - to reduce the state's 1980 energy consumption by 79.84 trillion BTU. This, measured against the 1980 baseline projection for Virginia of 1,587.6 trillion BTU equals a 5.01% savings. These savings, measured across end-use sectors, resulted in an absolute decrease in every environmental residual measured from each fuel consumed in each sector. The five required program measures (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) account for 21.01 trillion BTU or about 26% of total savings and 58.83 trillion BTU come from additional measures. The plan contains a total of 20 program measures all of which can be grouped into the following: building thermal efficiency, industrial, transportation, lighting efficiency, other.
