Objective (and Definition)
• Use the experiences from elsewhere to choose programs that are highly likely to pass a TRC test, and which can be staged and implemented quickly and successfully
• “Good enough is better than perfection when it comes to getting started with energy efficiency. ”

Almost Yes
• You will never get perfection.
• Any analysis, any evaluation you do is still, and always will be, an estimate.
• WHY?

“PROGRAM” impacts – (over-simplified)
Weather normalized pre usage less weather normalized post usage for the participant
- Weather normalized pre usage less weather normalized post usage for the non-participant
= savings attributed to program
Surveys and regression analysis can try and capture a variety of other issues that impacted energy use

Before you get started …
• Know what is fueling your growth– Plug load on the electric side– Average residential use decline on
gas side
• Keep start up and ongoing costs separate (benefit cost analysis)
• DO do all 5 benefit cost tests

Should Kansas support QSPPs?
Are you kidding me? Of course!
Absolutely!Yes!
That’s a really silly question! Just my opinion.
Why not?!
Check it out, dude! Yeah
man!

Portfolio Design
• QSPs are not exclusive • You should have a good balance of
– Program types– Markets covered– Key end uses
• Delivery• Give yourself enough lead time (even for
QSPs)• Matrix portfolio

Program Goal
• What are you trying to accomplish?• Will you be able to measure your
accomplishments? Examples to think about:– Low Flow Shower Heads– Insulation– Cooling System– CFLs
• Do things well … you have one chance at a first impression

Don’t forget …
• Energy Star• CEE• Trade Allies
– Don’t go in and out of programs– Pilots are a mixed bag for them
• Stay abreast of what’s happening throughout the country– CA, New England, MN, IA, WI– Conferences, Newsletters, Internet

Implementation Plan
• Start at the beginning – how do customers enter the program?
• Where do they go from there?• What is the workflow this generates?• Where are the decision points?• Where are the holding areas?• Where does it end?• At what points is data collected?
Where is it stored?• Flowchart every step!
Hint: Find someone who likes to do this!
