MACRO-ECONOMIC IMPACT AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS IN SELECTING ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

This report presents concepts and numerical estimates required for a complete and an objective evaluation of energy conservation. The underlying premise is that conservation, like any government program, has costs and benefits that should be quantified and compared. The research for this report had two objectives: (1) to evaluate the macro-economic impacts of energy conservation, and (2) to estimate and present the costs of and benefits from energy conservation.
