Washington AP report outlines a proposal by the American Institute of Architects to eliminate energy waste in all building types within 15 years. A new utility-like company would install solar heating, wind devices, and other energy systems, with costs borne by utilities via lower bills for owners.

The plan claims 10 percent bill reductions and energy savings equivalent to 12.5 million barrels of oil daily, aiming to match or exceed 1990 energy production levels. Six building models would be tested with utility cooperation in coming months.
