NEEA Releases Comprehensive Residential Energy Study
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) has published the first two in a series of reports that it said will impact the future of residential energy efficiency in the Northwest. The Residential Building Stock Assessment (RBSA) is a comprehensive research study of energy consumption in more than 1,600 Northwest residential buildings. It will establish a regional baseline for single-family, manufactured, and multifamily homes that will inform the region’s future energy planning efforts.
The final RBSA sample consists of households across the Northwest representing the service areas of 99 utilities: 89 public utilities, seven investor-owned utilities, and three natural gas-only utilities.
