Direction on Guidelines Savings Definition Path: CONTINUED
Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and Measure Interaction
Regional Technical ForumFebruary 19, 2014

January RTF MeetingPresentation
• Decision made on– Current Practice Baseline– Pre-Conditions Baseline
• Decision to postpone to February the discussion of RUL and Measure Life– Members asked to send alternate language, or
concerns to staff.

Input Received Since January Meeting• From Staff– Edited “vote” on Measure
Interactions• Now “General Population
Characteristics” a “Yes****” for Lifetime Savings and First-year Savings. (previously a “No”)– If program participants match
general population
– Modified Proposed Motion Language
• From Others– …

2. First-year savings

**** If program participants match general population.
This option requires the use of qualitative data (or quantitative, if available). This could significantly improve the reliability of the estimate versus the other options.
Baseline for Current Practice
Remaining Useful Life
Baseline for Pre-Conditions
Measure Interactions
IndicatorPart Option
If sunset date is adjusted downward for quickly moving markets, it's close to representing the program's effect.
Depends on exceptions
+: Remember that “Option 3”, which was approved late last year, was a method to prorate “last measure in” savings to avoid under-counting (or over-counting) total savings.
(Ex: Option 3+)

Measure Interactions
5
Measure InteractionsProposal: “To the extent practical, measure identifiers should be used to account for significant measure interaction. For example, the identifier ‘heating system type’ could be used to account for the interactions between envelope improvements and heat pumps.
When measure identifiers are not sufficient to account for all significant interactions, measure savings should be estimated using data expected by the RTF to represent program participants during the sunset period. These data should describe the interactive measures present when each measure was installed, and which interactive measures were installed simultaneously. Data collected directly from a sample of recent program participants is likely to serve these needs if the characteristics of the program participants are not expected to be changing quickly. For measures where interactive measures are not expected to be installed simultaneously, general population characteristics or characteristics of eligible sites may be judged to sufficiently represent program participants.
The methods used to deal with measure interaction should be documented in the summary sheet.”
6
“Significant”
• “Interaction is significant if the RTF determines that it is likely to account for more than 10%* of the measure savings. ”
• What tools would the RTF like to use to determine “significance”?
• What is the appropriate level of effort?
* Staff has interpreted this to mean +/- 10% (not +/- 5%).
7
Proposed Significance Test Procedure
1. Identify Measure2. Identify all possible Interactive Measures3. Define the proposed expected conditions for each interactive measure, estimate
savings.– Example: General Population Characteristics, if available (and characteristics of subset
of eligible sites, if available).– The expected conditions for interactive measures are constant across the Baseline and
Efficient-case Conditions.4. Determine conditions for each interactive measure where Measure savings
differ by +/- 10% from savings calculated using proposed expected conditions (“Book-ends”)
5. RTF judges whether measure interaction is expected to be significant and whether candidate proxy is reasonable.– To help, we’ll look at distribution of existing conditions (RBSA), technically feasible
minimums and maximums, etc.

Measure Interaction Decision Choices
1. Interaction is not significant (Proven)2. Include interactive measure as a measure
identifier ( Proven)3. Use available data (Proven)
I. Program Data, if representativeII. General Population Characteristics Data, if
representativeIII. Other Data, if representative
4. Collect data (Planning or Provisional)

Electric Water Heater Type
1. Savings interaction with water heater type is not significant
No Not true.
2. Include water heater type as a measure identifier
Maybe Would be difficultfor programs to pull off with a retail delivery
3.I. Use available representative program data
No No data available
3.II. Use RBSA data as representative of program
Yes Because of tiny fraction of HPWH in Region, RBSA water heater mix likely to represent program.
4. Collect water heater type data on a sample of measure installations
Maybe Good savings reliability, but program would need to be designed in a way to allow contact with participants difficult with retail delivery

Level of Effort: Huge! (if no data)Weatherization Example
• Analyze Each Measure (33 iterations)– For each heating system: Heat Pump, eFAF, Zonal• Attic: R0-38, R11-38, R19-38• Floors: R0-30, R11-R30• Windows: Double-0.30, Single-0.30, 0.35-0.30• Walls, Duct Sealing, CC&S, Infiltration
– In each heating zone? (99 iterations)• Analysis and Decisions will need automation
Because of the difficulty for programs, the RTF may not want to deal with significant measure interaction through further disaggregation of measures (i.e. more measure identifiers). Instead, it may wish to consider use of RBSA data (choice 3.II) or program data collection (choice 4) for weatherization measures.

Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
15
RUL
• Proposal:– For all pre-conditions measures, estimate RUL
based on best available information. If RUL is likely longer than the 20 year planning horizon, then RUL equals measure lifetime.

the future current practice (at time = RUL) will be
discussed later, after the RTF decides on RUL.

Standard Protocol - Discussion
• Two Optional Paths, depending on measure– “Deem” an RUL for all installations• Similar to UES
– Cannot “deem” the same RUL for all installations• Similar to Custom – See next slides.

Custom Measure Issue: RUL is unknown and the fate of the measure depends on its value
• If RUL is big enough for cost-effective measure…
• If RUL estimate too short, measure not cost-effective…
