- Abstract
- The practices and equipment employed at the point of energy consumption in buildings and in industrial processes permit excessive consumption of energy. It is estimated that if full application of the economically justifiable technical improvements presently available were made to equipment and practices in buildings and industry, as much 25 percent of the total primary fuel consumption in the U.S.A. could be conserved. The reasons why economically justifiable application of effective technology at the point of energy consumption has not been widely adopted in the past are considered. The needs to facilitate adoption of effective equipment and practices in the future are discussed.
