NEEP worked with the Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP) to draft a comprehensive report which analyzes the projected benefits by 2020 of new minimum energy efficiency standards for 15 available products. Entitled Energy Efficiency Standards: A Low-Cost, High Leverage Policy for Northeast States, the report shows significant benefits to Northeast states, including reductions in electric energy requirements, projected growth in peak demand and consumers' energy bills. From an environmental perspective, significant reductions are projected in the emission of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides due to lessened demand for energy generation. Hard copies of the report Energy Efficiency Standards: A Low-Cost, High Leverage Policy for Northeast States are available by contacting Isaac Elnecave. These are Acrobat (.pdf) files:
