hort Summary
This report describes a detailed end-use forecast of office equipment energy use for the US commercial sector. We explore the likely impacts of the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star office equipment program and the potential impacts of advanced technologies. The likely energy and dollar savings in the commercial sector from the Energy Star program are significant on a national scale, approaching $1 billion per year by the year 2000. The Advanced case demonstrates that significant additional savings may be achieved from advanced technologies if these technologies can be reduced in cost from current levels.
