This report analyzes a 1981 survey of public school districts receiving energy conservation measure (ECM) grants under the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, Title III, Cycle 1. The report contains charts of data, analyses of projects, and sections presenting study design, data treatment, findings, and conclusions. The survey's purpose was to ascertain how ECM installations were progressing just over one year from award, identify types of measures most frequently funded, what paybacks were for various measures, and whether energy savings were meeting expectations. From a total of 724 districts awarded grants, a stratified random sample of 405 was drawn, concluding with a response rate of 43.2 percent. In addition to completion, ECM, and payback information, respondents were asked to supply premodification consumption data for January-March 1980 and postmodification data for January-March 1981, if their project was 60 percent complete. Inferences about recipients include the following: (1) cycle 1 conservation measures are reducing energy consumption 20.7 percent; (2) actual energy savings suggest a payback of 4.832 years; (3) average completion was 83 percent; and (4) completion was not related to project costs, grant size, or projected payback. Findings suggest that installing energy conservation measures is more cost effective than originally projected. (CJH)
