POS-5A89C883DC622F (12 documents): Savings from Refrigeration Measures. Refrigeration measures are usually project-specific, and the methods used to evaluate savings may differ from case to case. In most cases, we perform the analysis using engineering principles aided by monitored data. Data on the efficiency of new equipment installed will be gathered from program records and verified with the manufacturers. Data on equipment runtime will be collected through short-term monitoring where applicable. We use these data to develop inputs for the eQuest energy analysis program (version 3.6.1b), which has the capability for simulating the energy use associated with various types of refrigeration. Simulations of eQuest with and without the refrigeration measure being analyzed are made to determine the amount of savings.

POS-6B615482EA5682 (4 documents): An important aspect of this evaluation will be to provide early and consistently often feedback to program implementers. As shown in the preceding discussion in this task, we offer early feedback memoranda concerning program theories and tracking systems and to gather responses from implementers. The feedback should be a two-way process in which the evaluators offer information and recommendations and the program implementers have an opportunity to respond. This must be done in an open and transparent way so that the evaluators can maintain the “arms-length” relationship. We propose to provide similar early feedback from other tasks that are identified below. In addition, we propose periodic information sharing sessions (quarterly or more often, perhaps monthly) in which implementers and evaluators provide information to each others. Implementers would be expected to share program experiences and information about changes to programs. Evaluators would characterize preliminary findings.

POS-854EF5B4D29567 (3 documents): For some programs our experience has been that the distributions of savings will often be positively skewed, with a relatively small number of projects or facilities accounting for a high percentage of the estimated savings. Accordingly, we generally use a sample design whereby a number of cases with large savings are selected for the sample with certainty, and a random sample is taken of the remaining cases. To further improve the precision, non-certainty cases are selected for the sample through systematic random sampling. [F000554, paragraph:342] [F009015, paragraph:364] [F022331, paragraph:211]

POS-A3DF042F2F2277 (3 documents): Grocery Store Refrigeration. For SMUD we recently monitored and evaluated new refrigeration control algorithms at a Grocery Outlet store. For this monitoring we used the methods that we have developed over the past fifteen years in continuously conducting field monitoring of grocery store refrigeration system energy use for SCE and other utilities. We have conducted field monitoring of new refrigeration technologies to assess (1) the effect of product storage as a demand response program; (2) the impact of Electronically Commutated Motors (ECM) used as case fan motors; and (3) the impact of bypass gas used as anti-sweat heaters.

POS-A87E50D4539C45 (3 documents): Black Hills Energy (BHE), (2011 – Present): ADM conducts annual evaluation of BHE’s Arkansas service territory (acquired in 2015 from SourceGas). Our evaluation includes their Equipment Rebates Program, for which ADM completed a furnace end-use metering study that resulted in an update to the Arkansas TRM. We also evaluated their Home Energy Reports program. The program was cancelled in 2015, but ADM completed a follow-up evaluation in 2016 and found that savings were still prevalent despite the lack of new messaging (per-customer savings declined by 25%). ADM also calculated avoided replacement cost benefits from tankless water heaters. This benefit (valuing the longer life of efficient equipment compared to lower-life baseline equipment) is traditionally only used for lighting retrofits, but we developed a framework to apply to tankless water heaters as their EUL is nearly twice the length of a storage tank system (20 versus 11 years).

POS-D759AB25431E57 (3 documents): For Black Hills Energy Arkansas, ADM conducted three years of evaluation of a Home Energy Report program administered by Opower. The program was cancelled after two years; subsequent to this, ADM staff conducted a study of savings persistence based off of the full cancellation of the program (as opposed to other studies that typically base it off of the exclusion of a subset of customers). This presented a unique opportunity in that Black Hills Energy and CenterPoint Energy share similar geography and demographics in Arkansas, allowing ADM to study the “foregone lift” of savings due to program cancellation. This term measures the effect of continuing the program in generating longer term savings; we essentially had “a control group for a control group” in comparing the degraded savings of the Black Hills Energy program to the continuing savings growth of the CenterPoint Energy Program. The findings from this were presented in the 2015 ACEEE Market Transformation Symposium by our proposed manager for the PacifiCorp evaluation, [MISSING: credentialed individual - ask Proposal Lead].
