Using less energy today can save money and improve the quality of the environment for future generations. RAND has informed public awareness and policy with research on such topics as energy use in commercial buildings, household energy conservation, the conflict between energy conservation and productivity in schools and offices, and the potential to reduce the energy requirements of U.S. commercial airlines.
Report
Includes the proceedings of the May 2002 E-Vision 2002 Conference, a gathering of the nation's leading energy experts to discuss ways to reduce U.S. economic energy intensity.
Report
Identifies significant multiple-industry research challenges in materials and materials processing.
Journal Article
Reviews a collection of recent energy scenarios from a policy and planning perspective and compares these scenarios quantitatively.
Report
The authors estimated energy efficiency by means of energy intensity measures controlled for sectoral composition and energy prices, among other factors.
Report
The authors show that savings from commercial and industrial energy-efficiency programs have provided a positive return on utility investment, and they demonstrate benefits of energy efficiency for Minnesota households, particularly for low-income households.
Report
The authors show that savings from commercial and industrial energy-efficiency programs have provided a positive return on utility investment, and they demonstrate benefits of energy efficiency for Massachusetts households, particularly for low-income households.
Report
Assesses the benefits, risks, and implications of the increased use of natural gas to meet California's growing energy needs.
Report
This report examines the implications of using alternative power-generation technologies to meet future energy demands in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
Report
This report documents an initiative by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the U.S. Department of Energy to identify and assess a range of emerging issues that may affect future energy use and supply.
Report
This report documents an initiative by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to identify and assess a range of emerging issues that may affect future energy use and supply.
Report
This briefing presents the results of a RAND review that identified materials research needs suitable for assistance from the Industrial Materials for the Future program, which focuses on core areas of value to multiple industries.
Report
This study reports on the results of an assessment of the benefits of energy efficiency for California.
Report
This report documents RAND research assessing the Department of Defense (DoD) current capability to achieve energy policy goals at DoD installations.
Report
DoD is the largest single energy using organization in the U.S. Achieving DoD's energy conservation goals has become increasingly important in a tight budget environment.
Report
This report discusses the implications of environmental restrictions on combat training.
Report
To prepare better for an emergency, DOE has conducted several exercises to test the Reserve's administrative and operational systems.
Report
This report presents the results of RAND's analysis of data from the first year of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Southwest bulk electric power market experiment.
Report
Although they did not always identify them as conflicting, energy policymakers often have two conflicting objectives: (1) to ease the impact of rapidly rising energy prices, particularly on the poor or those with fixed incomes, and (2) to promote eff...
