Page 71 - I) and, although the study only addresses the residential sector, we have found the result to have more general applications. The portion of the exhibit which is labeled NEP refers to initiatives such as regulation, the schools and hospitals program, insulation programs, and regulations forcing thermostats down in winter and up in summer. Regulations are a form of crisis management, and should only be imposed when all else fails, and should be removed when technological successes surpass regulatory...
Page 51 - The energy-saving opportunities in these programs range free subdivision developments to comprehensive planning in major metropolitan areas. The program includes a technological element that supports research, development and demonstrations of innovative energy systems, such as Integrated Community Energy Systems and district heating. During 1981, construction is expected on three integrated systems. The potential for large scale heat pump systems will be assessed. A number of district heating projects...
Page 75 - HEAT PUMPS (+$3M) Thanks to Congress, a strong heat pump R&D effort was initiated about two years ago. The emphasis of this effort has been on gas-fired heat pump concepts, with a minor effort aimed at Improving electric heat pump efficiency. Although this program has achieved technologically what statements before the House Science and Technology Committee had projected it would, it's funding gets constrained every year. It is presently submitted at $8.5H for 1981, and could easily use an Increase...

Technology and Consumer Products and Appliance Standards. The $22.2 million requested for Technology and Consumer Products will support the development and field testing of advanced heating and cooling equipment. The budget supports research on condensing mode gas- and oil-fired burners which will deliver more than...

It must be pointed out that world supplies of energy resources do not follow a flat curve such as the lower curve in Exhibit 1, but decrease from year to year. Therefore, unless we can get onto the upper...
Page 75 - TECHNOLOGY The final area critically needing the committee's attention is that of the technology base required for accelerated technological innovation in hardware. With the initiation of ERDA, a division called Conservation Research and Technology was formed under the Office of Conservation. It was this division's function to provide a technology base In combustion...
