First Fuel

• In order to address the energy and environmental
  challenges the United States faces, energy
  consumption in buildings must be addressed.
• The U.S. Department of Energys Energy
  Information Administration reports that building
  energy use represents 70 of U.S. electricity
  consumption and is the nations largest source of
  carbon emissions (39).
• Estimates are that the U.S. could
  cost-effectively save about 30 of U.S. building
  energy use today through improved efficiency. It
  is probably reasonable to expect that new
  building energy use could be reduced by at least
  60 by 2030 and that existing building energy use
  could be reduced by at least 40 by that time.
  That would free up about 21 (0.85 trillion
  kWh/y) of 2006 electric energy use by 2020 and
  35 (1.4 trillion kWh/y) by 2030.
