PRISM:A Conservation Scorekeeping Method Applied to Electrically Heated Houses

摘要

The studies explore the following topics:(1) the performance of the scorekeeping method for houses with various combinations of electric heating and/or cooling needs;(2) the possible distortion of model results for houses using electric heat-pump systems;(3) the effect of seasonal appliance use on the heating vs. non-heating separation implied by the model;(4) the stability of the model results against changes in the amount of billing data available;and (5) the impact of supplemental fuel use on scorekeeping.
