3. Regional Technical Forum Savings Categories Deemed Deemed Calculated Not Deemable Provisional RTUG Jan 19, 2010

4. Categories of RTF Savings & Cost Estimates Deemed Deemed Calculated Not Deemable High degree of certainty, reliably predicted based on solid empirical data, known variance, known shape of savings. High volume, repeatable with consistent results. Clear and unambiguous measure specifications. Same as Deemed, but with case- or program- specific calculations to adjust for specific conditions that strongly influence savings such as hours of operation, climate zone, vintage. Insufficient information to produce deemed savings or deemed calculation. Applies to unique facilities, and situations. Use RTF “Group” or “Site Specific” evaluation and verification protocols to establish savings. RTUG Jan 19, 2010

5. Provisional Deemed Estimates Provisional Deemed Interim estimates where there is not sufficient program evaluation data to deem savings. But there is some confidence in costs & savings based on limited evaluation, AND Program operation is designed to provide data that would allow deemed or deemed calculated estimates or lead to an approved M&V protocol. Provisional Deemed Savings Estimate Program M&V Plan “Book” Provisional Deemed Savings Evaluate Actual Savings per M&V Plan True-Up Savings Streamlined M&V Protocol RTUG Jan 19, 2010

6. What it Takes to Deem Annual energy savings can be reliably predicted –Known variance based on prior program evaluations or generally accepted engineering calculations Diurnal & seasonal energy savings reliably predicted Current baseline practice is consistent with practice on which prior savings estimates were established Measure specifications are consistent with measures evaluated to establish savings or assumptions used in engineering calculations Measure is at least as efficient as the measure used to establish savings based on prior program evaluations RTUG Jan 19, 2010

7. Additional Considerations Overall Savings Potential Matters – The level of effort to determine savings should match the savings potential Deemed Savings Don’t Last Forever – Technology, markets, and programs change – deemed savings should change with them RTUG Jan 19, 2010

47. Economizer Control “Hysteresis” Problem A study organized by Northwest Power and Conservation Council Regional Technical Forum For the most common economizer controller and sensor – A wide hysteresis [6-10degF] was found in 2008 bench testing; manufacturer concurred – Economizing will not occur unless night time temperatures fall to the low set point, which may not happen Earlier tune-up adjustments to existing packaged systems did not achieve expected savings Two investigations showed – economizers did not work as expected – even after proper adjustment procedures were followed RTUG Jan 19, 2010
