The paper discusses development of a resource allocation methodology for the BCS group to determine which energy conservation projects to fund if it is not possible to support all candidate programs and to determine how many projects to fund in one area to maintain minimal duplication. The current status of the methodology is presented. Section II deals with the technique used to evaluate a single portfolio. Section III describes the algorithm used to select the portfolios for evaluation. The search technique is described in Section IV. Information on the overall portfolio in Section IV is tabulated according to rank, project number, funding level, group number, research cost of addition, net benefit, marginal benefit, marginal rate of return, and cumulative rate of return. A summary of results is presented in Section V and group results are presented in Section VI. A table in Section VII lists the projects in numerical order with their group number, possibility of success, energy cost savings with and without DOE funding, and research cost of the project.
