摘要

Ways of speeding the market's response to higher energy costs for the buildings sector are discussed with special reference to the role of the federal government. Federal support is indicated in two main areas: (1) programs to alleviate possible public health and welfare effects, (2) programs to speed the day when the market's performance is closer to optimal. The first area includes research programs such as indoor air quality. Reducing the leakage of heated or cooled air from buildings can save half a million barrels a day of oil equivalent (approximately one quad per year), but may have undesired health effects. Indeed, research has shown that for certain indoor air pollutants, health effects may already be occurring in today's poorly sealed buildings. Research on this topic can help ensure that leak plugging in homes and commercial buildings will not affect public health, but it is precisely this type of R and D that is least likely to be supported by private industry. The second area calling for government involvement to reduce market lag industry includes testing and labelling homes for their energy consumption; development of essential diagnostic equipment that would be difficult to patent (such as the Princeton/LBL blower door); and short-term technology development in areas where there is currently no US manufacturer (such as the air-to-air heat exchanger) or where inertia needs a small push to get it moving (such as electronic fluorescent ballasts). Details of all these examples are given, with costs and expected savings. It is concluded that there is a potential to save $50 billion anually by improved energy efficiency in buildings, and that federal programs costing a few million dollars each year could advance the date of these savings by several years.
