Electrical Energy Conservation and Peak Demand Reduction Potential for Buildings in Texas: Preliminary Results
Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results of a
study of electrical energy conservation and peak
demand reduction potential for the building sector
in Texas. Starting from 1980 building stocks and
energy use characteristics, technical conservation
potentials were calculated relative to frozen energy
efficiency stock growth over the 1980-2000 period.
The application of conservation supply methodology
to Texas utilities is outlined, and then the energy
use and peak demand savings, and their associated
costs, are calculated using a prototypical building
technique. Representative results are presented,
for residential and commercial building types, as
conservation supply curves for several end use
categories; complete results of the study are
presented in Ref. 1.
