ACI Home Performance Conference 2008

MAM 06N - Pursuing Household Electric Savings (In-field)

Monday, April 07, 2008 · 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The increasing demand for electric energy poses problems and opportunities at multiple levels. In many cases, addressing electric baseload and / or peak demand can be more cost-effective than traditional retrofits. Using a combination of interview, inspection, nameplate data, diagnostic tools, charts, calculation shortcuts, and websites we will explore, analyze, and express opportunities for both behavioral and technical activities.

By attending this session, participants will

Use consumption records and bills to establish seasonal and baseload use, and explore how the family, use patterns, rate class, and equipment affect electric consumption
Get hands-on practice using a variety of kWh meters and other diagnostic devices
Explore options and propose actions to maximize benefits

Keyword(s): analysis, appliances, baseload, calculations, carbon footprint, consumption, demand, diagnostics, disaggregation, education, electricity, hot water, interview, kWh, lighting, metering, occupants, priorities, public benefits, refrigerator
