Abstract
This section contains four papers concerned with the interactions of energy, environment, and conservation. By conservation we mean the management of energy resources to maintain long-term supplies while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and the depletion of critical resources. The first three papers discuss the development and use of simulation models to analyze, the contribution solar energy might make to our energy future, economic and environmental impacts of various electric utility futures, and the assessment of electricity conservation initiatives. The final paper studies end-use conservation policies in homes and appliances.
