Harris, J P; Carner, D C

This report is in part aimed at fulfilling the mandates of the Warren-Alquist Energy Act that the Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission's Biennial Report to the Governor and to the Legislature contains an analysis of means for reducing growth in energy demand. The Warren-Alquist Energy Act is the enabling legislation for the California ERCDC. The first stages of work by the Energy Commission in preparing an Energy Conservation Action Plan for Federal funding under the provisions of Energy Policy and Conservation Act (PL 94-163) and the Energy Conservation and Production Act (PL 94-385) are also reflected. This report consists of a summary, the rationale for conservation, general strategies, proposed conservation policies, existing and proposed conservation programs, and appendices. Conservation programs, listed by sectors, make up the majority of the report. Estimates of potential savings and cost-effectiveness are presented for most programs. Recommendations for implementation are given for each of the programs. Derivations of all the numerical values presented in the report and a summary of revisions from the preliminary to the final draft are given in the Appendices.
