2. 2 What is DEER?  A collection of data for Residential and Non-Residential energy efficiency measures.  http://eega.cpuc.ca.gov/deer/  It provides a common set of: Ex ante Savings values: kW, kWh, kBtu Measure Costs Effective Measure Life (a.k.a EUL)

3. 3 Website Navigation  Measures categorized by Residential and non-residential Weather sensitive and non-weather sensitive Non-weather sensitive measure impacts determined through engineering calculations Savings do not vary by climate zone or vintage, only building type

4. 4 Weather sensitive measures Weather sensitive measure impacts simulated using DOE2/eQUEST Single family, multifamily, mobile homes, and 22 non- residential building types Five building vintages 16 climate zones Two levels of savings Customer savings - for system savings and early replacement savings. “Above Code” Savings - for all measures affected by an energy code or standard (reportable savings for replace on burnout)

5. 5 Common Units  Describes the normalizing unit Per ton, lamp, household, linear feet, cloths dryer, etc. The energy and cost common units are distinct Over 90% of cases, they are the same When different, distinctly identified

6. 6 Measure Costs  Application – indicates if the cost is for: Retrofit (RET) - replacing a working system with a new technology or adding a technology Replace-on-burnout (ROB) - replacing a technology at the end of its useful life New construction or major renovation (NEW) - installing a technology in a new construction or major renovation  Cost Basis – indicates if the cost is: Incremental (INCR) - the differential cost between a base technology and an energy efficient technology Installed (FULL) - the full or installed cost of the measure including equipment, labor, overhead & profit (OH&P)

7. 7 Notable Changes  Eliminated coin-operated high efficiency clothes washers and hot water heater tank wrap  T-12 removed from DEER as a base case because of new federal guidelines. However, it may be legitimate in lamp/ballast (only) change outs.  Programmable thermostats savings diminished:  Change in residential assumptions  Programmable thermostats or time clocks required by code since 1992 A/C savings reduced due to stricter code requirements

8. 8 CFL Changes Integral versus modular Modular – hardwired ballast with replaceable lamp. 16 year life (res.) Integral – lamp and ballast are “fused.” 9.4 year life (res.) In service factor – applied to CFLs to account for units not in operation Non-res. CLF – “SPC” – assumes that all units are installed and operational Non-res. CFL – in service factor of.92 Residential CFL – in service factor of.9 No in service factor for table lamps and torchieres

21. 21 DEER Measure Cost Detail

22. 22 Defining Cost Parameters Measure Cost Specifications (Cont.)  Cost data is first cost only -- life cycle or O&M costs/cost savings not included  Pricing reflects commonly available “standard” products and excludes specialty, high-end items  Some price observations (outliers) were excluded to assume a rational purchasing policy would be used (“who would pay THAT?”)  Equipment and labor prices are specific to California to extent possible but average across state

23. 23 Defining Cost Parameters Key Cost Definitions  Cost Observation – a single price point for an individual measure or measure configuration Cost values are what a program participant would pay to implement the measure consistent with definitions in the CA Standard Practice Manual (initial capital cost)  Cost units ($ / ton, $ / HP, $ / square foot, etc.) Mostly the same although different for some measures Distinct field in detailed cost data; appended to Cost Basis designator in measure detail

24. 24 Data Collection and Analysis Process Labor Cost Estimates  Labor cost estimates generally base on manhours required to complete task times appropriate wage rate  Wage rate based on trade (electrician, plumber, etc.) and geographic location of activity  RS Means used to provide wage rate and location adjustment multipliers

30. 30  How to find the most applicable cost information? Measure detail pages for each run ID - the per unit equipment measure cost of $13.65 for all 90% residential furnaces This provides an average cost based on a 100,000 Btu furnace The ‘Cost Data’ file under ‘Supporting Documents’ provides prices on a range of furnace sizes This provides a range of costs for 90% AFUE furnaces from 60,000 Btu to 140,000 Btu. Per unit costs ($/KBtu) ranges from $21.53 to $12.13, respectively The cost workbook section – Can use either statistical summary or individual price observations For example, the per unit equipment measure cost for 90% AFUE 100,000 furnaces ranges from to $12.31 to $16.52 based on 9 observations Cost Data Defining Cost Parameters
