Text

We consider the differences between residential and C&I energy efficiency projects in terms of participation levels, energy savings, and characteristics of participants. Projects for residential customers usually have larger numbers of participants, who can be expected to show a fair degree of homogeneity. For such projects, the large scale data analysis approach is often feasible and appropriate. On the other hand, programs for C&I customers usually have smaller numbers of participants, and some of the customers who do participate can be relatively large with unique operations, making it difficult to perform meaningful statistical comparisons across participating customers. The site-specific M&V approach is therefore often more appropriate for C&I projects, with more reliance placed on using site-specific engineering analysis and end-use metering as methods to estimate savings.
