Abstract: We present results of a study of changes in residential natural-gas consumption in the St. Louis region. The Princeton Scorekeeping Method (PRISM) is used for measuring changes in weather-adjusted consumption and for isolating the components of conservation. PRISM also provides a basis for separating changes in the thermal integrity of the housing stock from changes in average indoor temperatures. We decompose savings further by considering demographic variables, fuel substitution, and the composition of internal heat gains.
