Voluntary Business Energy Conservation Program progress report No. 6

Technical Report · Sat Apr 01 04:00:00 EST 1978

OSTI ID:7099980

Data are compiled in this report from 48 industry and trade associations representing 3,000 firms. This sixth semi-annual publication reports on progress in energy conservation in the Voluntary Business Energy Conservation Program. In the first six months of 1977, the Program's index of business energy efficiency was running at an estimated 9.2 percent above the 1972 base level. This increase is mostly attributable to sizable gains for the chemicals and petroleum industries, although energy use improvements were generally widespread. However, moderate declines were recorded in the indexes for primary metals, foods, and textile industries. Negotiations are underway with an additional 78 associations regarding their future participation in the program. (MCW)
