Many studies of these policies have been done over the years. These studies are reviewed and a model of the state\u0026rsquo;s residential electricity consumption is developed based on an early study supporting policy development. A hindcast using this model suggests a 6 percent reduction in residential electricity in the first 10 years of the policy over a modeled counterfactual scenario without policy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn addition, a more complete assessment of causality, which accounts for uncontrolled, non-policy factors that can also lower electricity consumption, suggests this policy had a\u0026nbsp;36 percent chance of being necessary and a 30 percent chance of being sufficient.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe research forums are a place for the College of Design community and our friends across the campus to experience the design- and technology-focused research at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom music technology to product design; from assistive technology to healthcare; from architecture to city planning, we explore the many ways technology can solve critical problems for the way we live.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYou\u0026rsquo;re invited to attend each of these free sessions in the Architecture Library, on the first floor of the Architecture West building.
