Energy efficiency standards for residential and commercial equipment: Additional opportunities
Rosenquist, Greg; McNeil, Michael; Iyer, Maithili; … - 2008
Energy efficiency standards set minimum levels of energy efficiency that must be met by new products. Depending on the dynamics of the market and the level of the standard, the effect on the market for a given product may be small, moderate, or large. Energy efficiency standards address a number...

Technology data characterizing refrigeration in commercial buildings: Application to end-use forecasting with COMMEND 4.0
Sezgen, O.; Koomey, J.G. - 2009
In the United States, energy consumption is increasing most rapidly in the commercial sector. Consequently, the commercial sector is becoming an increasingly important target for state and federal energy policies and also for utility-sponsored demand side management (DSM) programs. The rapid...

On the economic analysis of problems in energy efficiency: Market barriers, market failures, and policy implications
Sanstad, A.H.; Koomey, J.G.; Levine, M.D. - 2008
In his recent paper in The Energy Journal, Ronald Sutherland argues that several so-called market barriers'' to energy efficiency frequently cited in the literature are not market failures in the conventional sense and are thus irrelevant for energy policy. We argue that Sutherland has...

Impact of the Demand-Side Management (DSM) Program structure on the cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency projects
Stucky, D.J.; Shankle, S.A.; Dixon, D.R.; Elliott, D.B. - 2009
Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) analyzed the cost-effective energy efficiency potential of Fort Drum, a customer of the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) in Watertown, New York. Significant cost-effective investments were identified, even without any demand-side management (DSM)...

How can energy-efficient structures compete in an inefficient energy market
Noll, S. - 2009
The only way resources can be efficiently allocated in our market system is if prices of resources, goods, and services properly reflect their true value to society. However, because of (a) imperfections in the pricing mechanisms that currently influence private-sector decision making; (b) the...

Real Time Pricing and the Real Live Firm
Moezzi, Mithra; Goldman, Charles; Sezgen, Osman; … - 2008
Energy economists have long argued the benefits of real time pricing (RTP) of electricity. Their basis for modeling customers response to short-term fluctuations in electricity prices are based on theories of rational firm behavior, where management strives to minimize operating costs and...

India's cement industry: Productivity, energy efficiency and carbon emissions
Schumacher, Katja; Sathaye, Jayant - 2008
Historical estimates of productivity growth in India's cement sector vary from indicating an improvement to a decline … in the sector's productivity. The variance may be traced to the time period of study, source of data for analysis, and … type of indices and econometric specifications used for reporting productivity growth. Analysis shows that in the twenty …
