Fuller, S K; Ruegg, R T

The study investigates how energy-conservation projects for federal buildings would be affected by a change in energy pricing and discount-rate policies. It focuses on the choice between marginal-cost prices versus average market prices and a 10% discount rate versus a 7% discount rate. Graphical and numerical comparisons of hypothetical cases in selected geographical areas illustrate the expected impact on selection, design and sizing, and priority of energy-saving projects.
