An Energy Efficiency Resource Standard (EERS) [1] is a policy requiring electricity and/or natural gas utilities to achieve specified levels of customer energy savings. Typically, EERS objectives are percentage savings of electricity or natural gas sales as compared to a business-as-usual case. Energy Efficiency Resource Standard. The. DSIRE glossaryprovides the following definition of an “energy efficiency resource standard”: “Energy efficiency resource standards (EERS) are state policies that require utilities to meet specific targets for energy savin gs according to a set schedule. Establish a federal energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) with savings targets for electric and natural gas utility energy efficiency programs. The federal EERS could also include savings from improved building codes and equipment efficiency standards, combined heat and power, and distribution efficiency. Energy Efficiency Resource Standards Updated June About DSIRE ® DSIRE is the most comprehensive source of information on incentives and policies that support renewables and energy efficiency in the United States.
The. Guide to Resource Planning with Energy Effi ciency. is a product of the National Action Plan for Energy Effi ciency Leadership Group and does not refl ect the views, policies, or otherwise of the federal government. Energy Efficiency covers wide-ranging topics related to energy efficiency, energy savings, energy consumption, energy sufficiency, and energy transition in all sectors across the globe. Coverage includes energy efficiency policies at all levels of governance enabling social, organizational, and economic factors of sufficient and efficient behavior and decisions; analysis and modeling of energy efficiency performance, measures, policies, outcomes, and impacts; energy management . The Online Resource Center provides educational assistance about the Building Energy Efficiency Standards to building and enforcement communities. The California Energy Commission and utilities developed the resources, which include fact sheets, energy videos, and presentations. Home» Education Resources NREL The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy supports research and development of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies to strengthen U.S. economic growth, energy security, and environmental quality.
Energy Efficiency Manual by Donald R. Wulfinghoff Energy Institute Press 1, pages illustrations index $ ISBN Energy Efficiency Resource Standards An energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) is a quantitative, long-term energy savings target for utilities. Under direction from this policy, utilities must procure a percentage of their future electricity and natural gas needs using energy efficiency measures, typically equal to a specific percentage of their load or projected load growth. The Building Energy Efficiency Standards improve upon the Energy Standards for new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential and nonresidential buildings. Buildings permitted on or after January 1, , must comply with the Standards. The California Energy Commission updates the standards every three years. Energy efficiency resource standards (EERS) have been a key tool for delivering energy savings in states across the country. Now states are looking to their energy efficiency policies to do more.
