ACEEE Releases Energy Efficiency and Pollution Control Calculator



 
Over the next decade, a host of federal air regulations will impose restrictions on the emissions of multiple pollutants from stationary sources such as power plants and industrial facilities. These air regulations create a demand for low-cost and rapidly deployable emissions reduction measures and energy efficiency proves to be the least-cost resource when compared with new generation.
 
To help meet these demands, today ACEEE is releasing a new tool---an easy-to-use calculator that lets users get an idea of the costs and air quality benefits of some basic energy efficiency policies and allows them to compare those options with more piecemeal approaches to reducing air pollution. In the coming months, we will provide additional materials, information, and support to folks working on these issues. We invite you all to keep an eye on our evolving web page and let us know what else you would find useful.
