Mission Valley Power Energy Efficient Home Program and GSHPDeemed Savings Analysis September 30, 2008
Background • Mission Valley Power (MVP) requested that the RTF review its specifications for a new residential construction program to establish a deemed savings value and cost-effectiveness • MVP also provided an analysis of the potential savings from requiring R-10 full under slab insulation with an R-5 slab edge thermal break for RTF review and potential adoption as a deemed measure • Lincoln Electric also requested that the RTF review the cost-effectiveness of Geothermal Heat Pumps installed in MVP or Energy Star homes
MVP Deemed Savings Analysis – R-10 Full Slab w/R-5 Thermal Break • Used WattSUN • Assumed MT Code as baseline, then modeled full slab insulation w/ thermal break (UA 549) vs UA 518) • Wall (Above Grade) = R-19 • Wall (Below Grade) = R-11 (0.054 base/0.056 w/full slab) • Attic = R-38 • Glazing = U- 0.35 • Door = U-0.19 • On grade slab – R-0 (F-0.73) & R-10 w/R-5 TB (F-0.36) • Below grade slab = R-0 (F-0.56) & R-10 w/R-5 TB (F-0.42) • MVP Supplied Cost Data - $0.85 sq.ft.
Results of Review – R10 Full Slab • WattSun Savings = 1.5 kWh/sq.ft. slab • WattSUN savings are based on (TMY2) • Used Kalispell weather • Zonal electric heating assumed • SEEM Savings • Based on TMY 3 • Used Missoula weather (Zone 3 Reference site) • Analyzed 5 heating system types
MVP Deemed Savings Analysis – Energy Efficient Home • Used WattSUN model w/Kalispell Weather • Assumed MT Code as baseline, compared to • EStar Home BOP 2 • MVP Home specifications • WattSUN Results • EStar Home BOP 2 = 32% savings • MVP Home = 36% savings
Savings Review Input Assumptions – Crawlspace Home *Assumed value for unconditioned crawl space. Construction not allowed under EStar BOP2.
Savings Review Input Assumptions – Slab & Heated Basement *MT Code does not require below grade walls to be insulated until “finished.” EStar & MVP require R-21 insulation at time of construction.
Results of Review – MVP Home Zonal Electric Space Heating Savings Not Equivalent To or Better Than EStar BOP2 10
Results of Review – MVP Home Forced Air Furnace w/o CAC Space Heating Savings Not Equivalent To or Better Than EStar BOP2
Results of Review – MVP Home Air Source Heat Pump Space Heating Savings MVP+ = Requires PTCS Controls (Outside Thermostat & No First Stage Resistance & ARI Staging 12
MVP Home Proposed Lighting Specifications Impact on Savings • MVP Proposal – 25% of sockets @ CFL • EStar Requirement – 50% of sockets @ CFL
Results of Review – MVP Home Zonal Electric Space Heating + Lighting Savings Not Equivalent To or Better Than EStar BOP2 14
Results of Review – MVP Home Forced Air Furnace w/o CAC Space Heating Savings Not Equivalent To or Better Than EStar BOP2 15
Results of Review – MVP Home Air Source Heat Pump Space Heating + Lighting Savings MVP+ = Requires PTCS Controls (Outside Thermostat & No First Stage Resistance & ARI Staging 16
Summary of MVP Home Findings *Requires PTCS Controls (Outside Thermostat & No First Stage Resistance Heating & ARI Staging of Backup
Recommendations • Establish deemed savings for R10 full slab insulation • Establish New Technical Compliance Option (TCO) for MVP Homes that produce savings equivalent to existing Energy Star Builder Option Packages (BOPs) • Establish deemed savings for MVP Homes that are not equivalent to Energy Star • Establish deemed savings for GSHP conversions and upgrades installed MVP Homes
Geothermal Heat Pump Cost-Effectiveness • Existing GSHP Cost Data from Oregon Trail Coop, supplemented by Ravalli, Flathead and Lincoln Electric • OTEC Average Installed Cost/Ton = $3,363 • MT Coop Average Installed Cost/Ton = $3,327 • All GSHP Installations assumed to install de-superheater ($1150) which saves additional 1200 kWh/yr (33% of DHW use) • SEEM FAF Use adjusted for GSHP COP and SEER • COP = 3.3 • SEER = 16 • No PTCS Duct Sealing or Commissioning Assumed All cost adjusted to 2006$
