Abstract
For the past decade, electric and gas utilities
throughout the nation, not just in hot and humid
climates, have promoted energy efficiency through a
variety of demand-side management (DSM) programs.
In 1984, the Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI) began a study of the DSM activity of
utilities in order to assess the effectiveness of
such programs for meeting a variety of objectives.
One element of this broad based study was an
investigation into the factors that influence
commercial customer acceptance of demand-side
management. This paper summarized the results of
this research. A more detailed accounting of the
research can be found in DSM Commercial Customer
Acceptance, Volume 1; Program Planning Insights,
EPRI EM-5633, January 1988.
