Energy Management and Technology for Urban Governments: A Program Overview of the Energy Task Force of the Urban Consortium, 1979-1985

摘要

This document presents an overview of work conducted by the nation's major urban governments to address their own energy problems. Together, the results from over 100 applied research projects managed by these cities and counties are sound evidence of an increasingly sophisticated capability for effective energy management by qualified local government professionals. Each of the projects described in this overview was an attempt to resolve an energy management need or problem defined by local officials. Program priorities to guide project selection were determined by managers and staff from the 42 cities and urban counties in the membership of the Urban Consortium. Projects to address these priorities and specific energy management needs were selected by the members of the Consortium's Energy Task Force.
