Energy Efficiency Development:Example of Efficiency Upgrades in

Residential Electricity-Using Equipment

1 Based on U.S. EIA State Energy Data System (SEDS) data. 2 Based on survey of 6 ‘best practice’ States. See SEU Task Force Briefing Book, Sections F-H. Available at: http://www.seu-de.org/documents.html3 Survey of 6 ‘bast practice’ States indicates 30% savings can be expected from energy efficiency upgrades (multiplied by appropriate participation rate).4 100% rebate equal to the incremental cost of the high efficiency option (capped by size/capacity of the device in order not to encourage purchase of above-average equipment). Taken from ‘best practice’ State survey. See SEU Task Force Briefing Book, Sections F-H. Available at: http://www.seu-de.org/ documents.html
