Project Objectives
1. Research and inventory existing load shape data available
2. Determine data attributes necessary to meet needs of energy efficiency, capacity markets and air quality
3. Identify weaknesses and gaps in existing available data
4. Evaluate transferability and applicability of load shape data to the Regions
5. Provide road map for meeting short term and long term end-use metering needs
4
Develop list of end-use categories Break down end-uses into “Analysis Groups” Analysis Groups intended to include measure
savings shapes, as well as end use shapes
5
Data Search
Objectives:
Identify relevant studies that conducted field studies (metering) of end uses/measures (Analysis Groups)
Collect enough information on associated “data properties” to assess usability
Activities:
Web survey of 102 industry contacts List of studies identified in California (2006 Load Shape
Update Initiative) Follow up with contacts to collect data properties
6
Data Search - Challenges
Key challenges to data search:
– Difficult to engage industry contacts to share relevant studies they are aware of
– Even when proper survey contact identified - contact did not typically have detailed information on data properties (e.g. vintages of equipment metered, NAICS/SIC codes of facilities)
7
Data Search - Results
110 studies identified, across three general types:
– Load research
– Evaluation
– Compilation
List of “Promising Studies” – high level review
– Sample size
– Vintage of studies (2000 or more recent)
– Studies that developed load profiles
8
Defining Usability of End Use Data
Interviews with stakeholders from energy efficiency, capacity markets and air quality
Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reporting have similar requirements – Statistically valid sample design – Unbiased data collection procedures– Reasonable Baseline definitions
ISO/RTO Capacity Markets add a Prescriptive Layer– Specific Relative Precision Requirements– Specific Metering Requirements
9
Defining Usability of End Use Data
Ratings: A – Meets capacity market standards, usable as
stand alone study within region B – Meets efficiency planning standards, usable
as part of a compilation study C – Has some issues, could be used as a last
resort or to guide modeling efforts IP – Study is currently in progress

Summary of Promising Studies Pacific Northwest
11
Summary of Promising Studies Pacific Northwest
Three studies rated a B - one old load research with diminishing sample, other targeted thermostat study with small sample and ELCAP.
Three promising studies in progress
– Most promising = BC Hydro Power Smart Residential End Use Study
No promising non-residential studies identified
12
Summary of Promising Studies Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, California Regions
Eastern: 18 Promising Studies identified
– Non-Residential studies were all program evaluation studies that had smaller sample sizes
– Seven Residential studies primarily Lighting some HVAC, appliance and water heating
Mid-Atlantic: 2 studies with large sample sizes but all demand response participants
California: 10 studies, including DEER as roll-up of many studies covering almost all end uses
13
Gap Analysis
14
Gap Analysis Overview
Gap Analysis developed end use analysis group level sample size data
Sample size data includes studies that have not yet been completed or fielded and results could change dramatically if plans change
Some studies are included under the end use analysis group that have no sample size data
15
Data Availability – Pacific NorthwestResidential
16
Gap Analysis – Pacific NorthwestNon-Residential
Only one non-residential study identified– Limited Hourly Metering Pilot (BPA): Only 3 sites
metered ALL non-residential end uses have a high need
for data
17
Transferabilty of Data from Other Regions
18
Is end use data readily transferable?
We establish a general rating system for transferability of end use analysis groups
Criteria evaluated were– Potential for schedule variability between regions– Potential for weather variability between regions
Assumed that saturation of energy efficient equipment could be decoupled
Implicitly addressed regional variations in construction practices

Prioritization of Load Shape Activities
22
Relative importance of end use and measure load shapes (Analysis Groups) Developed an end use Analysis Group Importance
Level Rating system using– Input from RTF subcommittee and EMV Forum– Web survey respondent importance rankings– CA 2006-08 EE portfolio percentages– CT Market potential study percentages
Rating system as follows– Tier 1 – Most Important, high % of savings & high need
– Tier 2 – Moderately Important, moderate % of savings and/or
need
– Tier 3 – Lower Importance, lower % of savings
23
Load Shape Development Activities - Overview Generally there are five options that could be
followed– Option 1 - Combine existing end use studies of
common measure types into meta studies within regions– Option 2 - Look to transfer meta studies from other
regions to fill in gaps within a region– Option 3 - Work to develop database for regionally
customized DOE Models using (DEER) as starting point – Option 4 – New metering– Option 5 – Do nothing, end use unimportant at this time
24
Strategies to Improve End Use Data
25
Underlying assumption: Where no existing end use data, near term priority activities will be directed first at Tier 1 end use groups
Where data available – Option 1 and 2 (if transferable) Where no data – Option 2 or 3 (if transferable) Where no data – Option 4 (if not transferable)
That Option 5 “do nothing” is viable near term for the end use analysis groups that had no metering activity

Conclusions and RecommendationsNear-term (up to 12 months)
Support useful studies in progress:– BC Hydro Power Smart Res End Use Study – large end use
research study in planning stages Ensure that smaller studies (e.g. evaluation studies) collect
necessary information – Consistent protocol for load shapes can ensure that small
studies collect necessary ancillary data to be compiled Evaluate whether some ELCAP data still usable
– Focus new research on identifying which ELCAP data can be leveraged
31
Conclusions and RecommendationsMid-term (1-3 years)
Implement multi-region end-use data repository Plan other study types (non-metering) to support
transfer of data from other regions– Saturation studies (typical building characteristics,
inventory of system types and efficiencies)
Assess feasibility of disaggregating end-use information from AMI whole-premise data– Identify utilities open to partnership opportunities
