42 U.S.C. § 18773: Expansion of energy consumption surveys

opportunities to improve energy efficiency and energy productivity; changing patterns of energy use; and opportunities to better understand and manage miscellaneous electric loads. increase the scope and frequency of data collection on energy end uses and services; accessing other existing data sources; and if feasible, developing online and real-time reporting systems; the reliability and security of the energy supply; and local areas with households with a high energy burden; and enabling the presentation of data in an interactive cartographic format on a national, regional, State, and local level with the functionality of viewing various economic, energy, and demographic measures on an individual basis or in combination; and incorporating the results of the data collection, methods, and tools described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) into existing and new digital distribution methods. implement measures to provide more detailed representations of data by region; for large manufacturing facilities, break out process heat use by required process temperatures in order to facilitate the identification of opportunities for cost reductions and energy efficiency or energy productivity improvements; energy source-switching capabilities, especially with respect to thermal processes and the efficiency of thermal processes; the use of electricity, biofuels, hydrogen, or other alternative fuels to produce process heat; and the use of demand response; and hydrogen generation, production, transport, use, and storage infrastructure; and carbon dioxide capture, transport, use, and storage infrastructure. geographic area, including by State (for each State); building type, including multi-family buildings; household income; location in a rural area; and other demographic characteristics, as determined by the Administrator; and household electrical service capacity; access to utility demand-side management programs and bill credits; characteristics of the energy mix used to generate electricity in different regions; and in different geographic areas; by electricity, heating, and other end-uses; and having a low household income; being a minority household; residing in manufactured or multifamily housing; being in a fixed or retirement income household; residing in rental housing; and other factors, as determined by the Administrator.
