Building Energy Conservation Programs: A Preliminary Examination of Regulatory Activities at the State Level.

摘要

Background information on the current regulatory status and degree of implementation of building energy conservation programs at the state level are described,including those programs dealing with solar energy. This data base can be drawn upon to promote utilization of building thermal efficiency standards on a uniform basis throughout the country. From information collected in a survey of twenty-one states,the report presents the current state-of-the-art on common problems experienced at the state level in the promulgation and implementation of building energy conservation regulations. Based on these findings,several types of assistance that could facilitate the orderly adoption and implementation of uniform standards are identified.
