The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) is excited to share the results of the 2022 Residential Building Stock Assessment (2022 RBSA) – the third assessment since the study’s inception in 2011. Data for the RBSA is collected every five years and includes information on building characteristics and energy usage data for single-family and multi-family residences in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
With more than 2,000 homes surveyed for over 100 building characteristics, the 2022 RBSA is an extremely robust resource for use in energy planning and energy efficiency programs in the region and beyond. We are eager to hear the ways in which analysts and planners utilize the data from the 2022 RBSA to improve and expand upon the region’s collective understanding of energy usage and efficiency efforts.
We would like to thank all of our funders and stakeholders for their part in the success of this study. The support and expertise they provided throughout the duration of the study’s completion cannot be overstated.
A special thank you is in order for the RBSA Workgroup members who have given their time and energy assisting in decision making around study design, recruitment, and everything else that goes into ensuring the 2022 RBSA remains a crucial tool for energy planning.
At NEEA, our purpose is to transform the market for energy efficiency to the benefit of all consumers in the Northwest, and the RBSA helps create a foundation on which market transformation programs can flourish. We hope the work that you do with the information provided by the 2022 RBSA helps move the needle toward a more efficient, thriving energy future for the Northwest.
Sincerely,
Susan Hermenet (she/her)
Vice President of Analytics, Research and Evaluation, NEEA
