It would bepossible to make energy devices more “fiddly”so that they would require more interventionby the user. Such systems would be cheaperthan the “hands-off” ones assumed here.3 Hershey 1981a; Schipper 1981. Data fromEIA’s Monthly Energy Review, ending in 1981 inNovember for oil use and in the third quarterfor GNP.4 Los Angles Times 1980.5 Billiter 1981a; Los Angeles Times 1981j.

This assumed aseventy percent efficient furnace. Actual furnaceefficiencies are often lower, and some arehigher – Lennox sells ninety-two percent efficientpulse-combination gas furnaces – but thisshould be analyzed separately from the efficiencyof the house itself.13 Department of Energy 1981b.14 Shurcliff 1982.15 Meyer & Sieben 1982.16 University of Saskatchewan 1979.17 Rosenfeld et al. 1980; Shurcliff 1980;Leger & Dutt 1979; Shick 1980; Departmentof Energy 1981b; Superinsulated Building.18 Rosenfeld et al. 1980; Department ofEnergy 1981b.

The saving is somewhatlarger than he shows because his refrigeratorefficiency target has already been overtakenby a further factor-of-four improvement.26 Holt 1982, referring to the most efficientequivalent Toshiba model.27 Dr. Larry Schlussler PE, 725 BaysideDrive #6, Arcata CA 95521.28 SERI 1981:I:54–55.29 Bullard 1981:209–21030 See e.g., SERI 1981; Carhart et al. 1980.31 Palmiter & Miller 1979.32 Holland 1981.33 Lovins et al. 1982.34 Holland 1981; Solar Age 1981a; Riemers1980.35 Rothchild 1981; Wilson 1981; Socolow1978.36 SERI 1981:I:24–27, 65.37 Ibid.:27.38 Congressional Research Service 1981;OTA 1980a; Masselli & Dean 1981.39 Stelson 1981.40 Shoskes 1981.41 Ruben 1981.42 VW of America 1980.43 Seiffert & Walzer 1980.44 Boyle 1981; Lehner 1980; JapanAutomotive News 1980; Dexler 1981.45 New York Times 1981r.46 SERI; Gray & von Hippel 1981; TRW1979; Shackson & Leach 1980.47 Shackson & Leach 1980; Gorman &Heitner 1980; SERI 1981.48 Lovins et al. 1982; Samuels 1981.49 Schipper 1981.50 Shifrin 1981.51 Feder 1981.52 Energy Insider 1981.
