Joint Management Committee Evaluation of Successful ENERGY STAR Home
Programs
The Joint Management Committee (JMC) is a
consortium of electric and gas utility companies who sponsor an ENERGY
STAR Homes Program in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and portions of New
Hampshire. As part of the evaluation and redesign of the program, the JMC
contracted with the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) to
conduct an exploratory study of other successful programs in targeted
states around the country. In this study, RESNET completed an analysis of
home energy rating/ENERGY STAR programs in the states of Alaska, Arizona,
California, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, Ohio,
Texas, Utah and Wisconsin. The key findings of the evaluation are:
- The most successful ENERGY STAR Home
programs benefited from initial market invention.
- Outside of Alaska, the greatest market
penetration of ENERGY STAR labeled homes is in the Southwest. When
comparing the success of the ENERGY STAR programs in New England and the
Southwest, one must be aware of the regional differences. These
differences include both the housing market characteristics and climate
- In the states targeted by this study,
the largest of numbered of ENERGY STAR Homes labeled, outside of Alaska
and Indiana, were labeled through the sampling of ratings.
