Abstract
This study analyzes the number and type of home heating energy conservation measures adopted by a sample of Lexington, Kentucky elderly to: determine the reasons certain measures are adopted; to analyse the extent of participation in public programs; and to suggest ways to assist the elderly in implementing energy conservation measures. The respondents are conservation conscious, but have special needs and constraints. Expense, concern for comfort, and perceived need act as major constraints in the adoption of conservation measures, while low participation in public programs is linked to lack of awareness of the programs and their potential benefits.
