The study, funded by the California Public Utilities Commission, divides the energy efficiency universe into 11 categories: six residential categories, four nonresidential categories, and mass-market advertising. For each category, the study profiles a number of programs across the country, then draws on those profiles to determine best practices for energy efficiency programs within that category.

The Web site also provides a search tool for finding relevant profiles and reports based on the goal or structure of the energy efficiency programs.
