Developing Energy Indicators in the U.S.: The EIA Experience
Presented at the 18th Annual North American Conference, United States Association for Energy Economics, affiliated with the International Association for Energy Economics, September 7, 1997

Following the October 1995 publication of the Energy Consumption Series, Measuring Energy Efficiency in the United States’ Economy: A Beginning, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) held a series of workshops for each end-use sector of the economy.  The purpose of these workshops was to involve sector experts in the process of defining energy-efficiency measurement issues and the appropriate role for EIA in the measurement of energy efficiency. The five one-day workshops were held in Washington, D.C.

Over 120 experts, representing federal agencies, industry, associations, academia, and energy-efficiency advocacy groups, attended the workshops. The participants, included engineers, economists, planners, and policy analysts, representing broad concerns as well as varied experience in the analysis of energy efficiency. The discussions generated diverse suggestions and conclusions.
