Dive Brief:
The United States could reduce energy costs by an average of $215 billion a year — $4.8 trillion cumulatively by 2050 — by implementing a broad package of policy and other reforms, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy says in a report it released Wednesday.
Savings could come as highly efficient heat pumps and other building and building equipment efficiency upgrades are made, the report says.
Building and other electric efficiency measures would also reduce growing peak demand by 20% on average through 2050.
