|
A comparison of the effects of residential development patterns, sustainable building practices, and higher efficiency automobiles on household transportation and home energy usage. Categories that are noted as “Green” incorporate additional energy usage reductions achieved by homes that are built to meet Energy Star criteria and households that drive hybrid automobiles.
|
| GENERAL FINDINGS |
- Energy usage decreases per household as housing density increases and development patterns become more urban.
- Significant reductions in transportation energy usage occur as development patterns move from suburban to urban because of the increased availability of comprehensive transit networks.
|
HIGHLIGHTS
|
- Moving from auto-dependent suburban single family homes into transit connected urban green single family homes can reduce household energy consumption by 64%
- Moving from auto-dependent suburban single family homes into transit connected urban green multifamily homes can reduce household energy consumption by 75%
