Studying electricity feedback for the home with an emphasis on the user

Creator:: Hunter, Josie Elizabeth
Abstract:: As non-renewable resources dwindle and costs increase, it becomes ever more important for people to understand and control their electricity usage. Eco-feedback devices are being developed to increase user awareness and reduce consumption. In order for feedback devices to be successfully adopted into the home, however, they must be appealing...

Energy considerations in remodeling of owner-occupied single family dwellings, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Granite, Mary Lou
Abstract:: The investigation of energy considerations in the remodeling of single family owner-occupied dwellings was the central purpose of this study. Variables studied included relationships between demographic characteristics and the inclusion of energy conservation techniques, planning of the remodeling, and ranking of considerations in the remodeling. A sample of 225 owner-occupants...

The effect of structural modifications on energy conservation behaviors

Creator:: Beck, Becky Ohmer
Abstract:: This study focused on the relationship between energy related behaviors prior to and following structural modifications of the residence. If energy saving structural modifications are made, will there also be a concommitant change in energy conserving behavioral practices? The objectives of this study were: 1) to create a profile of...

Types of household composition that influence energy problem beliefs and home energy conservation behaviors according to resource constraints among western United States' renters

Creator:: Yoo, Kyung Sook
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to further the understanding of two types of renter households' energy problem belief and energy conservation behaviors. The theoretical framework for this study was Niemeyer's (1982) model of energy adjustment. Niemeyer found that resource constraints were the significant factors in the number of existing...

Comparison of Oregon renters' and non-renters' home energy conservation behavior, belief about the U.S. energy problem, belief about their home energy efficiency, and belief about four energy policy directions

Creator:: Buck, Lynn E.
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to address the three limitations of previous research as identified by the Western Region W-139 Technical Committee (1980). First, specific hypotheses were tested. Second, through hypotheses testing, understanding was gained of energy conservation behavior and energy problem perceptions. Third, the sample size was large...

Development of a water-to-water heat pump for tempering water in milking parlors

Creator:: Griswold, Bruce Walter
Abstract:: A water-to-water heat pump was specifically designed and operated to temper process water for cleansing and sanitizing milking parlor equipment using recovered energy from the milk refrigeration system as its heat source. Operation of the water-to-water heat pump in series with the energy recovery system was found to be both...

Energy conservation through evaporator fan cycling in a refrigerated controlled atmosphere apple storage facility

Creator:: Koca, Robert W.
Abstract:: A two year experiment demonstrated electrical energy savings through evaporator fan cycling in part of a full-sized refrigerated controlled atmosphere apple storage facility in Yakima, Washington. Room cooling demand and evaporator fan operation was controlled by the bulk fruit temperature. Refrigerant temperature was regulated by a computer controlled ramping sequence...

Residential water conservation and energy efficiency impacts through effective scheduling and opportunities for regional expansion : a case study of a gas tankless water heater with recirculation loop

Creator:: Johnson, Erica M.
Abstract:: This study focused on the potential water and energy savings from implementing a revised schedule of a recirculation pump connected to a condensing gas tankless water heater located in a study home in Portland, Oregon. The existing recirculation pump activation schedule was studied for its impact on the overall water...

The effect of energy efficiency on the demand for heat

Creator:: Cleland, Andrew L.
Abstract:: Increased efficiency of household energy-using appliances effectively lowers the price of the services these devices provide. Basic consumer theory predicts that ceteris paribus, these lower prices will increase usage, thus making the effect on total energy demand ambiguous. In the literature, this phenomenon has been called the rebound effect. In...
