Portland Energy Conservation Project. City energy plan: choices for saving energy in the commercial sector
The Portland Energy Conservation Project consists of four major tasks: (1) collect data base; (2) develop an energy conservation plan; (3) revise codes; and (4) revise capital budgeting procedures. The work program for Task 2 includes the following: develop methodology for Portland Energy Plan; develop framework for measuring the impacts of energy cost increases and supply reductions; develop conservation choices for each sector; and refine and recommend an energy conservation plan for Portland. This report examines the conservation choices for the commercial sector. How energy is used today and ways to save in finance, real estate, insurance, communications; and utilities are summarized. Ways to implement educational, incentive, and mandatory programs are given. Seven conservation programs aimed at commercial buildings in Portland are analyzed, and the percent by which each would reduce commercial energy needs in 1995 is calculated. Impacts of price increases and supply cutbacks are also determined. (MCW)
