Conservation potentials, participation, and retrofit choices in the Connecticut Residential Conservation Service (CONN SAVE) program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6404381
;
The distribution of technical potentials among dwellings in the data set is examined. Audit findings on potential savings and costs are reported across house types, house ages, primary heating fuels, household incomes and education, and years in current residence. Regression and cluster analysis results are also presented. Information on participation behavior is presented. Characteristics of participant and nonparticipant groups are described. In addition, qualitative choice models (using logistic procedures) are developed as tools to predict participation in the CONN SAVE program. Models of retrofit decision making are developed. In this analysis, efforts are made to characterize the decision making process used by CONN SAVE participants to chose which measures to install or not to install. Findings about technical potentials and about participation and retrofit choice behaviors are summarized and discussed. The implications for CONN SAVE program management and for future data collection and analysis efforts also are reviewed.
