Abstract
This paper applies a mixed engineering and econometric model to empirically analyze behavioral interaction with new energy-efficient appliances and thermal improvements. The hypothesis is that energy efficient technologies lower the effective price of the services they provide and consequently reduce electricity consumption by smaller amounts than would be anticipated in engineering estimates. The approach incorporates prior engineering knowledge about the interactive effects of weather, appliance efficiencies, and thermal integrity of dwellings to explore treatment groups in an experiment conducted in Florida.
