Energy Prices and Utilities
- What utility or utilities provide gas and electricity in your community?
- What kind of utilities are these?
- Is your community able to choose amongst different utility providers?
- Does your community have district heating?
- The local cost of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil (if available) and propane.
- How much does your utility charge for residential electricity?
- How much does your utility charge for commercial electricity?
- How much does your utility charge for gas sold to the residential sector?
- How much does your utility charge for gas sold to the commercial sector?
Residential Figures
- The population of the community area you are analyzing in this scenario. This information is used in the calculation for job creation from community energy efficiency programs. Figures can be obtained from your city or county government offices. If you are analyzing a small area such as a neighborhood region you will have to develop estimates and a justification for your numbers.
- The number of households in your community.
- Average residential energy consumption per household.
- Estimated number of residential households (single family and multi-family) on average likely to be built per year over the next ten years.
- Average energy consumption for new residential construction per household.
Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Figures
- Average annual commercial, industrial, and institutional energy consumption in your community for existing buildings per square foot of building space (thousand Btu/square foot per year). Sample buildings include: K-12, University/College, Food Sales, Food Service, Health/Hospital, Lodging, Retail and Service, Private Sector Office Space, Public Assembly, Warehouse and Storage, State and Local Government, and Federal Government.
- Average annual commercial, industrial, and institutional energy consumption in your community per square foot of building space for new buildings under 50,000 square feet
- Average annual commercial, industrial, and institutional energy consumption in your community per square foot of building space for new buildings larger than 50,000 square feet.
- Data on the total square footage of the following residential and non-residential buildings in your community. Sample buildings include: K-12, University/College, Food Sales, Food Service, Health/Hospital, Lodging, Retail and Service, Private Sector Office Space, Public Assembly, Warehouse and Storage, State and Local Government, and Federal Government.
You will most likely need to work with your community or county community development or tax assessor's department to gather this.
- Total square feet of commercial and institutional building space under 50,000 sqft likely to be built on average per year over the next ten years
- Total square feet of commercial and institutional building space over 50,000 sqft likely to be built on average per year over the next ten years.
Previous Projects
Has your community undergone any energy efficiency projects already?
Contact the town hall or county offices to see if they have done any studies on energy efficiency potential in public buildings. If any projects or studies have been done, you'll need estimates of energy and dollar savings for each.
