OSTI ID:6520066

Alternative methods, means, techniques for controlling and moderating the consumption of energy are discussed and analyzed. Attention is given to the relative feasibility and effectiveness of individual and combinations of methods implementable at Federal, state, and local levels as well as by various nongovernmental bodies. Residential, commercial, industrial, and other energy users are included. The approach to this assessment problem is presented, the key areas of importance for the analysis are identified, the order and logic of the proposed approach are indicated, and the manner in which the authors endeavored to provide traceability and replicability to the various threads of the analysis is demonstrated. Included are (1) a presentation of the study methodology; (2) a discussion of the energy picture as seen in past and present patterns of energy supply and demand, and of the energy baseline curve; (3) an overview of Federal, state, and local energy organization, programs, and actions; (4) a derivation of energy conservation techniques based on physical analysis; (5) an evaluation of macro energy conservation techniques; (6) discussions of physical and economic analysis, social impact analysis, and legal and regulatory procedures.
