The Canadian Government has recognized the need for programs which accelerate consumer energy conservation efforts. A major concern in these efforts is the identification of conservation programs which achieve this goal most effectively and most efficiently. This paper addresses this issue by presenting the results of a study which examined a range of policy options with the goal of providing a better understanding of which type of conservation programs are most likely to succeed. The unique characteristic of the study was the use of inputs from experts responsible for program design and from consumers upon whom such programs will ultimately impact. Comparison of professional and consumer views indicated a concensus favoring energy efficiency product labels, and grants for purchase of energy conserving products. For other programs differences between professional and consumer views suggested the need for caution. Auto-related conservation was identified as an area of particular concern. |
