Gas vs Electric: Sustainability Performance of Heating Fuel Options in the NIST NZERTF

Abstract

This manuscript builds on analysis completed in an article by O'Rear, Webb, Kneifel and O'Fallon (1) that focuses on a case study evaluating the sustainability performance of singlefamily homes in Maryland. Since most of the background, literature, methodology, and analysis remain the same, numerous sections are abbreviated versions of sections in the article For additional details on these sections refer to the prior study.
