Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has examined the role of manufactured housing in the housing market, the energy impacts of three manufactured housing standards and three site-built standards in 13 cities, and the economic impacts of those standards in 6 cities. The three standards applied to manufactured housing are the HUD Title VI standard (Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, or MHCSS), the Hud Title II-E standard, and the existing FmHA Title V standard. Those applied to site-built homes are the HUD Minimum Property Standards (MPS), the ASHRAE 90A-80 standard, and the FmHA Title V standard. Based on energy consumption alone, these analyses show that the FmHA Title V standard is the most stringent standard for both housing types (a single-section menufactured home and a single-story detached ''ranch house''). The HUD Title VI standard is the least stringent for manufactured homes, while the HUD Minimum Property Standards are the least stringent for site-built homes. Cost-effectiveness comparisons required by the Act were made for the two prototypical homes. Results of this preliminary economic analysis indicate that none of the site-built standards reflect minimum life-cycle cost as a basic criterion of their development. For manufactured homes, both the FmHA standard and the HUD Title II-E standard reduce life-cycle cost and effect positive first-year cash flows in all cities analyzed when electric resistance heating is assumed. When natural gas heating is used, both standards pass the life-cycle cost test in all cities, but the FmHA standard fails the cash flow test in all but one city. However, in the worst case, net monthly expenditures in the first year are increased by less than $9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microeconomic Modeling and Policy Analysis: Studies in Residential Energy Demand analyzes the aggregates and distributional impacts from alternative energy polices related to the energy demands of residential consumers. The book also analyzes the use of micro-simulation models in the study. The book examines three alternative energy policies and their possible impacts on the residential energy demand. The text describes models on energy use including general micro-simulation and micro-simulation as applied in ""Residential End-Use Energy Planning Systems"" (REEPS) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Residential Energy Consumption Model. The book describes REEPS as a model providing end-use specific forecasts of energy consumption at the household level. The text describes ORNL as a computationally simpler design but conceptually more complex one. The book then evaluates three different policy scenarios using each of these two models. The performance of REEPS and ORNL, as well as other dimensions of model projections, is examined. The implications regarding 1) policy analysis and 2) the use of micro simulation models are noted. The book then presents a table that summarizes the results of the comparative model evaluation. Energy policymakers, city and local government planning officials, development engineers, and environmentalists will find this book very relevant.

Download or read book Evaluating the Sustainability Performance of Alternative Residential Building Designs written by National Institute National Institute of Standards and Technology and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent release of Building Industry Reporting and Design for Sustainability (BIRDS) v3.0 incorporated the energy, environmental, and cost measurements for 240 000 residential building designs for a 2-story colonial house based on the NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) located in Gaithersburg, MD for study period lengths ranging from 1 year to 40 years. Focusing on a single location allows for consideration of incremental building energy efficiency improvements instead of the suite of energy efficiency requirements specified in the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as was the focus of the residential database incorporated in BIRDS v2.0. Building design specifications included in the database span the five most recent IECC editions through net-zero energy performance. Additional options not included in previous versions of BIRDS are input alternatives for discount rate, home loan financing, and construction quality for a total of 8 cases. The 240 000 designs across 8 cases (sets of assumptions) and 40 study periods allows for comparisons across over 75 million records to determine the effects of improving building energy efficiency on the overall sustainability performance. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy).

This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and China are the world's top two energy consumers and, as of 2010, the two largest economies. Consequently, they have a decisive role to play in the world's clean energy future. Both countries are also motivated by related goals, namely diversified energy portfolios, job creation, energy security, and pollution reduction, making renewable energy development an important strategy with wide-ranging implications. Given the size of their energy markets, any substantial progress the two countries make in advancing use of renewable energy will provide global benefits, in terms of enhanced technological understanding, reduced costs through expanded deployment, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to conventional generation from fossil fuels. Within this context, the U.S. National Academies, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), reviewed renewable energy development and deployment in the two countries, to highlight prospects for collaboration across the research to deployment chain and to suggest strategies which would promote more rapid and economical attainment of renewable energy goals. Main findings and concerning renewable resource assessments, technology development, environmental impacts, market infrastructure, among others, are presented. Specific recommendations have been limited to those judged to be most likely to accelerate the pace of deployment, increase cost-competitiveness, or shape the future market for renewable energy. The recommendations presented here are also pragmatic and achievable.

Building design specifications included in the database span the five most recent IECC editions through net-zero energy performance. Additional options not included in previous versions of BIRDS are input alternatives for discount rate, home loan financing, and construction quality for a total of 8 cases. The 240 000 designs across 8 cases (sets of assumptions) and 40 study periods allows for comparisons across over 75 million records to determine the effects of improving building energy efficiency on the overall sustainability performance. The purpose of this study is to utilize similar methodology as that used in prior analysis of BIRDS databases to analyze the BIRDS low-energy residential database. Our analysis will entail making comparisons between a Maryland residential code-compliant design (based on 2015 IECC), serving as our baseline, and a series of alternative designs with varying levels of energy efficiency based on energy, economic, and environmental performance. Findings from this study will shed light on the effects of incremental improvements in residential building energy efficiency, as well as the effects of varying the investor s time horizon and other assumptions, on overall sustainability performance in terms of energy efficiency, life-cycle assessment score coupled with life-cycle cost considerations.
