Cover; Preface; Contents; Figures; Summary; Acronyms; CHAPTER ONE -- Introduction; Total Global and U.S. Energy Demand; Opportunities for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings; Options for Improving Buildings Sector Efficiency; Barriers to Demand Reduction; Policy Options for Overcoming Barriers; CHAPTER TWO -- European Approaches; Early Approaches; Energy Performance of Buildings Directive; EPBD Recast; CHAPTER THREE -- Australian Approaches; Market-Based Energy Efficient Buildings Policy; Building Codes and Performance Ratings; Disclosure and Energy Audits; Grant and Rebate Programs.

Summary: This study examines how policies to increase energy efficiency in buildings in the European Union and Australia have worked and draws implications for the design of similar public policies for the United States. It appears that effective policies to promote energy efficiency can be devised using information disclosure, building codes, financial incentives, and benchmarking. Insights are presented to help designers of analogous U.S. policies.
