He authored the clothes dryer assessment,  thescenarios analysis,and co-authored the air conditioner and lightingassessments with 0livier de la Moriniere and Anibal de A1meida,visiting researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.  Alan Meier ofLawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Howard Geller authored the waterheating assessment.  David Goldstein and Peter Miller of the NaturalResources Defense Council authored the refrigerator,freezer,andrange assessments.  \nThe policy issues section of the report was authored by LindaSchuck,consultant to PG&E and Barbara Barkovich,consultant.  Car1Blumstein of the university of California,Berkeley and Art Rosenfeldof Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory assisted in organizing and reviewingthe entire study.  Eric Hirst of Oak Ridge National Laboratory alsoprovided comments on an early draft。  \nThe study could not have been possible without assistance frommany individuals at PG&E。  Lee Callaway conceptualized and initiatedthe study.  Linda Schuck provided much help and guidance as projectmanager.  Karen Lang of the Economics and Forecasting Dept.wasespecially helpful in providing information concerning PG&E's end-use forecast and model.Others from PG&E including Vince Baclawski,Mike Katz,Mike Koszalka,Ed Mah,Paula Rosput,Bill Smith,and BarryWong provided valuable information and reviewed a draft report。  \n象  \n## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\nA.Overview  \nThis report evaluates the technical potential for cost-effective electricity savings in PG&E¹s residential sector.  Thepotential savings are termed a conservation power plant\"to signifythat improved end-use efficiency is one of the resource optionsavailable to the utility。  This conceptual approach is in accordancewith other studies conducted by PG&E。  \nThe first step in assessing the feasibility of a residentialconservation power plant is to determine its potential size andcomposition--  How much cost-effective conservation is potentiallyavailable?  What technologies and options look most promising interms of savings,cost-effectiveness,and commercial availability?  \nTo answer these que","cbCaic3cZfrlTWL0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic3cZfrlTWL0","pdf",12346620,258,"English","# Preface\n# Executive Summary\n## Overview\n## Technology Assessments\n# Part I - Introduction\n# Part II - Technology Assessments\n## Methodology\n## Refrigerators and freezers\n## Water heaters\n## Lighting\n## Central air conditioners\n## Cooking ranges\n## Clothes dryers\n# Part III - Scenarios Analysis\n## Methodology\n## Results of the scenarios analysis\n# Part IV - Qualitative Issues and Conclusion\n## Other characteristics of a conservation power plant\n## Conclusion and next steps\n# Appendix A - Worksheets for the Base Case Scenario\n# Appendix B - Worksheets for the Current Technology Scenario\n# Appendix C - Worksheets for the Technical Potential Scenario","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the “conservation power plant” concept in this study?\",\"answer\":\"It frames improved residential end-use efficiency as a resource option for the utility, aligning with other PG\\u0026E studies on resource and conservation planning.\"},{\"question\":\"Which residential end-uses are analyzed to estimate electricity conservation potential?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates seven major end-uses: refrigerators, freezers, water heating, lighting, central air conditioning, cooking ranges, and clothes drying.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the base, current-technology, and technical-potential scenarios differ in projected results by 2005?\",\"answer\":\"The current-technology scenario projects higher savings than the base case (including 2005 consumption 25% lower than the base).
