  Multifamily residential (MFR) market barriers to energy efficiency are well documented, particularly the split-incentive barrier between property owners and renters. Utilizing a randomized encouragement design (RED), two Southern California utilities and three water agencies, have embarked on a large-scale, year-long pilot program designed to induce MFR complexes to reduce gas and electricity use by 10% each, and water by more than 10% (10-10- 10+). A randomly selected group of MFR customers were split into one control group (N=1000), one treatment group (N=650) which received mailers, and another treatment group (N=360) which received mailers as well as on-site marketing materials such as tenant door hangers. The pilot uses competition and rewards to encourage participating MFR complexes to improve Energy Use Intensities (EUIs) and Building Benchmarking Scores. This pilot differs from other existing energy competition programs in that it employs a scalable RED) to drive conservation. Each complex’s performance is tracked during the pilot period, and competition winners will be rewarded at the end of the competition. The pilot employs Residential Energy and Water Intelligence’s Portfolio Analyst© software, as an alternative to the US EPA’s Portfolio Manager, due to its ability to mass-calculate benchmarking results for the approximately 2000 properties involved in the pilot. Water conservation recommendations are developed through remote sensing analysis of MFR landscaping. While it is too early in the competition period to measure impacts of the behavioral interventions, the pilot’s cutting-edge quasi-experimental design will facilitate rigorous savings estimation, and the techniques employed can be employed immediately by other utilities seeking to overcome similar barriers and challenges to encourage energy efficiency behaviors in MFR customers.

  This book in three volumes contains the papers presented at the ninth international conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting. EEDAL'2017 organised in Irvine, CA, USA by California Plug Load Research Center (CalPlug) at the University of California, Irvine on 13-15 September 2017. This major international conference has been very successful in attracting an international community of stakeholders consumption (including manufacturers, consumers, governments, international organisations, academia and experts) dealing with residential appliances, equipment, metering, lighting, residential building energy to discuss the progress achieved in technologies, behavioural aspects and policies, the strategies that need to be implemented to further progress this important work. Potential readers who may benefit from this book include researchers, engineers, policymakers, and all those who can influence the design, selection, application, and operation of electrical appliances and residential buildings.

  Second consumer market study on the functioning of the retail electricity markets for consumers in the EU
  Final report

  This study on the functioning of retail electricity markets for consumers in the EU is the follow up to the first market study conducted in 2009/2010, and published by the European Commission in 2010.

  This study on the functioning of retail electricity markets for consumers in the EU is the follow up to the first market study conducted in 2009/2010, and published by the European Commission in 2010. The objectives of the current study are to investigate if a well-functioning electricity market is in place for consumers in the EU and assess how the performance of retail electricity markets for consumers has developed since the first market study. The study also examines the extent to which consumers are able to make informed and empowered choices and what motivates their behaviour in the electricity market. The study covers all EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. Between July 2014 and October 2015, the following activities were carried out: consultations with national stakeholders (energy regulators, consumer associations, Alternative Dispute Resolution entities active in the retail energy sector, electricity associations, enforcement bodies and company mediators); a consumer survey measuring consumers’ awareness, attitudes and experiences with electricity services; a behavioural experiment consisting of a ‘‘stay or switch” exercise and a comprehension test of bills and marketing material; a mystery shopping exercise replicating consumers’ experiences in four areas (“questions about billing”, “finding a cheaper tariff”, information available on “switching and complaint handling” and “green tariffs and efficient energy use”); and, a price collection exercise compiling and analysing a comprehensive and representative sample of electricity prices offered to household consumers.
