| Abstract: | Significant environmental benefits are often associated with the rapid diffusion of new energy-saving technologies. Over the past decade, electric and gas utilities, as well as the federal government, have provided free technical information and, in some cases, direct cash subsidies, to owners of existing commercial buildings to stimulate investment in specific energy-saving technologies. Yet little is known about the effectiveness of the information component of these programs. |
