Cost-effectiveness of high-efficiency appliances in the U.S. re: a case study / McNeil, Michael A; Bojda, Nicholas   Journal Article
McNeil, Michael A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of high-efficiency appliances in the U.S. residential sector using cost and efficiency data developed as part of the regulatory process of the U.S. Department of Energy's Appliances and Commercial Equipment Standards Program. These data are presented as a case study in the development of an 'efficiency technology database' which can be expanded and published as a resource to other researchers and policy makers seeking scenarios that optimize efficiency policies and forecast their likely impacts on energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. The use of this data to evaluate cost-effectiveness according to a variety of metrics is demonstrated using the example of one refrigerator-freezer product class. Cost-effectiveness is then evaluated in terms of cost of conserved energy for refrigerators, room air conditioners, water heaters, cooking equipment, central air conditioners and gas furnaces. The resulting potential of cost-effective improvement ranges from 1% to 53% of energy savings, with a typical potential of 15-20%.

Energy efficiency outlook in China’s urban buildings sector through 2030 / McNeil, Michael A; Feng, Wei ; Can, Stephane de la Rue du ; Khanna, Nina Zheng   Journal Article
McNeil, Michael A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This study uses bottom-up modeling framework in order to quantify potential energy savings and emission reduction impacts from the implementation of energy efficiency programs in the building sector in China. Policies considered include (1) accelerated building codes in residential and commercial buildings, (2) increased penetration of district heat metering and controls, (3) district heating efficiency improvement, (4) building energy efficiency labeling programs and (5) retrofits of existing commercial buildings.
