The major energy-consuming appliances in the following six functional-use categories were identified: space heating and cooling water heating refrigeration cooking and lighting. These groups are recombined into the commercial subsectors of communications utilities wholesale retail finance, insurance, real estate, and services hospital schools and public administration. The commercial sector is defined in terms of the divisions prescribed in the S.I.C. The opportunities are identified by means of a literature search and contact with industry representatives. ![]() Thirty-four potential appliance improvements were identified, evaluated, and ranked. A detailed national inventory of 45 major appliances and their energy consumption was established for the year 1975. This study establishes a data base of energy-consuming appliances in the commercial sector, and identifies and rates the most-promising development opportunities that would save significant amounts of energy on a national level. ![]()
