How Much Energy Do Building Energy Codes Really Save?
Author: Arik Levinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Construction codes that regulate the energy efficiency of new buildings have been a centerpiece of US environmental policy for 40 years. California enacted the nation's first energy building codes in 1978, and they were projected to reduce residential energy use -- and associated pollution -- by 80 percent. How effective have the building codes been? I take three approaches to answering that question. First, I compare current electricity use by California homes of different vintages constructed under different standards, controlling for home size, local weather, and tenant characteristics. Second, I examine how electricity in California homes varies with outdoor temperatures for buildings of different vintages. And third, I compare electricity use for buildings of different vintages in California, which has stringent building energy codes, to electricity use for buildings of different vintages in other states. All three approaches yield the same answer: there is no evidence that homes constructed since California instituted its building energy codes use less electricity today than homes built before the codes came into effect.

Heterogeneous Impacts of Building Codes on Residential Energy Demand
Author: Erdal Aydin

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this paper, we investigate the actual impact of building energy efficiency standards, which is one of the most common residential energy efficiency policies across countries. Using a detailed household level data (N=84,864) from Turkey, we estimate the heterogeneous effects of building codes on energy consumption of homes with varying heating technologies. We document that, on average, the building codes lead to around six percent lower heating energy demand for the homes constructed after the regulation. However, among different types of residential heating technologies, the effect is significant for only the homes with central heating systems. The policy has no impact on energy demand for the homes with stoves, individual boilers and electricity based heating systems. Aforementioned result can be partly explained by the potential “rebound" and "pre-bound" effects ensuing from the lower cost of heating in new dwellings. The significant impact of regulation for the homes with central heating systems can be associated with the mandatory individual meter installation requirement in new dwellings. The indicated provides an incentive for households to decrease their demand as compared to the older dwellings for which the heating expenditure is shared equally among the households. This result underlines the importance of behavioral interventions in the design of energy saving policies. Overall, our results imply that the effectiveness of residential energy efficiency policies might vary across countries depending on the distribution of different types of heating systems used in the building sector and the economic development levels of the countries.

Residential Energy Standards and the Housing Market
Author: John M. Quigley
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Dwellings
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
"This paper focuses on residential energy as an input to the production of flows of housing services. This perspective forms the basis for analyzing the effects of energy regulation upon natural and induced 'conservation, ' the utilization of residential capital, and the well-being of consumers in the housing market."--Page 1
