HVAC Energy Savings Potential - July 2002
The average home spends $1,900 on utility bills every year - with more than half going to heating and cooling. If just one household in ten bought ENERGY STAR heating and cooling equipment, the change would keep over 8,500 tons of pollution out of the air and cut HVAC energy costs by 20%. The DOE building technologies program Energy Consumption Characteristics of Commercial Building HVAC Systems Volume III takes an in depth look at the energy savings potential.
