This report was completed in order to investigate energy consumption patterns in the City of Norwalk, CT. These research efforts had two goals: 1. To determine a baseline consumption level against which future estimates of consumption can be compared (to assess the progress of any changes); and 2. To determine opportunities to change consumption patterns and reduce overall energy use in the city. This municipal energy analysis can be used as a model to investigate energy consumption patterns for other municipalities in Connecticut.
