RESULTS FROM A STUDY OF THE FACTORS RELATED TO FAMILY ENERGY CONSERVATION ARE EMPLOYED TO EVALUATE SOME ASSUMPTIONS OF AND PROSPECTS FOR ENERGY POLICY. HOME OWNERSHIP AND A VARIETY OF ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS ARE FOUND TO BE RELATED TO GENERAL CONSERVATION AS MEASURED BY AN INDEX CONSTRUCTED FROM 17 DIFFERENT CONSERVING ACTIVITIES.

The Energy Conservation Act (20 ILCS 1115) was signed into law in September 1979. The law requires that the Department provide technical assistance in the development of thermal efficiency standards and lighting efficiency standards to units of local government, upon request by such unit. The law also states that the Department shall provide technical assistance in the development of a program for energy efficiency in procurement to units of local government, upon request by such unit. The Technical Assistance Programs provided under the law are supported by funds provided to the State pursuant to federal acts that provide funds for energy conservation efforts through the use of building codes. ; Title from title page; description based on 2004. ; The Energy Conservation Act (20 ILCS 1115) was signed into law in September 1979.

In this volume, eight energy experts address the question of how much energy conservation can contribute to national energy supplies and how it will affect economic growth. The authors differ in their assessment, some taking a pessimistic and others an optimistic view of conservation's ability to mitigate the damping effect of higher energy costs. They assign varying roles to conservation and energy supplies to meet social and economic goals, but agree on the need for more research. The areas of agreement include cost-effective conservation policies which rely heavily on market forces. They differ in their interpretations of historical data and the potential for substitution.
