Description
A significant energy conservation opportunity exists within Colorado's new and existing building electrical systems. Dry-type transformers are commonly utilized within a large building's electrical distribution system. While transformers are relatively efficient, delivering over 95% of their input power, they are constantly energized; consequently, electrical losses are constant.

Energy affordability is commonly quantified in terms of energy cost burden--the percentage of household income spent on residential energy needs. These can include electricity, gas, and fuels such as propane or biomass. As a metric, energy cost burden helps us visualize energy affordability. Energy cost burden is also a key driver of energy insecurity, defined as the inability of a household to meet their basic energy needs.

Description
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 appropriated money to the Department of Energy (DOE) to utilize the funding to encourage the implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The Colorado Governor's Energy Office (GEO) was a state agency responsible for utilizing and distributing ARRA funds in Colorado. The main purpose of this Project was to evaluate the gross and net impact energy savings associated with...
