AbstractCalifornia’s existing building stock is vast and extremely diverse, with building types ranging from single family homes to high-rise multi-family buildings and from small businesses in strip malls to skyscrapers and cavernous warehouses. More than half of existing buildings were built before the first energy efficiency standards were in place. Despite over two decades of energy efficiency programs, a large reserve of potential energy and peak demand savings remains to be captured. Assembly Bill 549 (Statutes of 2001, Chapter 905, Longville) directs the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) to "investigate options and develop a plan to decrease wasteful peak load energy consumption in existing residential and nonresidential buildings" and report its findings to the legislature. The Energy Commission’s initial response to this legislation was the report, Assessing the Energy Savings Potential in California’s Existing Buildings: An Interim Report to the Legislature in Response to AB 549 (December, 2003 Energy Commission Report #400-03-023F) which was sent to the legislature in late December, 2003. The work performed under this project was based in part upon the initial work completed for that report. A project advisory committee consisting of members from the Energy Commission, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison, Sempra Utilities, and the California Public Utilities Commission was formed to oversee the project. This report provides a series of recommendations on steps that can be taken to improve the efficiency of existing residential and commercial buildings. The list of interventions is described as follows:
