OSTI ID:6539329

The State of Connecticut, under a cooperative agreement with the Federal Energy Administration, was to be responsible for implementing, evaluating, and conducting a statewide residential conservation program. The sub-tasks of the objectives were to: (1) reduce energy consumption among its single-family residences by insulation and other energy-conservation methods; (2) consider, design, and implement different approaches to encourage homeowners' energy conservation improvements; (3) establish an informational, toll free, ''Hotline,'' to provide energy conservation assistance and technical data to the state residents; (4) promote the program through the media, using public service announcements, press releases, newspaper articles, and distribution of an energy quiz; (5) provide and distribute an energy conservation booklet that indicates information on how to measure, save, and use energy conservation improvements; and (6) create volunteerism for Connecticut citizens to organize, lead, and conduct Home Energy Savers' Program (HESP) Workshops throughout the State of Connecticut. Results of the program must be classified as successful. This opinion is based on the number of single families reached, the cooperation received by the state from all sectors of Connecticut's citizenry, number of workbooks and quizzes distributed, workshops conducted and number of families who implemented residential energy-conservation improvements. These results are summarized.
