Price Effects of Energy-Efficient Technologies: A Study of Residential Demand for Heating and Cooling
结合工程与计量模型，分析佛罗里达州住宅节能改造对电力消费的实际影响，发现节能技术降低服务有效价格，导致节电量低于工程估算。
This paper applies a mixed engineering and econometric model to empirically analyze behavioral interaction with new energy-efficient appliances and thermal improvements,The hypothesis is that energy efficient technologies lower the effective price of the services they provide and consequently reduce electricity consumption by smaller amounts than would be anticipated in engineering estimates,The approach incorporates prior engineering knowledge about the interactive effects of weather, appliance efficiencies, and thermal integrity of dwellings to explore treatment groups in an experiment conducted in Florida.'Total 216 48 96 72 72 b Each customer wi th attic insulation below R-19 received the minimum of two increments , either R-19 or R-11 , to achieve at least on R-19 rating.c Customers in thi s portion of the study were randomly selected wi thout regard to their prior insulation level .Only those with less than R-19 received an upgrade.
