  2. RTUG Report to RTF • Summary: Regional RTU Energy Efficiency Initiatives • Initial Results from the Bonneville RTU project • Regional RTU Research Results • Provisional Deemed Savings Value Framework • Regional Results Database • Next Steps

  3.

  4. RTUG Membership • Peter Meyer Tacoma Public Utilities • David Davis Idaho Power Company • Nick O'Neill Energy Trust of Oregon • Steve Ottenbreit Snohomish County PUD • Janice Peterson NW Energy Efficiency Alliance • Jon Powell Avista Utilities • Stan Price Northwest Energy Efficiency Council • Will Price EWEB • Dave Robison Stellar Processes • Erin Rowe PECI • Joe Schmultzer Puget Sound Energy • Mira Vowles Bonneville Power Administration • Greta Zink Avista Utilities • Brian Van Buskirk Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. • John Palmer-Williams Tacoma Public Utilities • Out-of-Region representatives from NEEP- NYSERDA/VEIC, CA- BBI/ SCE/WCEC

  5. PNW RTU Market Size [2006] • 320,000 units 5-ton predominates • 27,000 new units annually • 16,000+ replacement • 11,000+ in new construction STATE SHARES WA @ 41% OR @ 39% ID @ 12% MT @ 8%

  6. Savings in MWa 2029 – 6th Power Plan TRC Levelized Cost: Mostly $10 to $50 per MWh

  7. PNW RTU 2008-09 Count 236 Metered • Avista = 12 side-by-side metered [4 in place] • Bonneville Power Administration RTU Pilots = 161 metered • Energy Trust of Oregon = 94 serviced/13 metered • Idaho Power = 9 metered • Puget Sound Energy = 41 metered

  8. Related RTU Activities • Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance • HVAC contractor training • Regionwide RTU program support • Emerging Technology program • Bonneville Power Administration • HVAC Emerging Technologies • Premium Ventilation Package • R&D • California Activities – Western HVAC Performance Alliance – CEC PIER RTU FDD – HVAC EM&V Results

  9. RTU Reality TV: ETO BAU Site Sample • 3 HVAC units with economizers, 1 functional; 2 units did not have 2-stage controls • Outside ventilation was disabled on 2 of 3 units • None of the businesses had appropriate scheduling of HVAC • Noticeable air leaks around roof curbs

  10. 2009 RTU Savings Results –What We Know

  11. 2009 RTU Savings Results What We Know - 2 Bonneville ETO Idaho Power PSE

  12. 2009 RTU Savings Results –What We Still Need To Know

  13. Why? Programmatically simple Supported by research to date Enables Bonneville to gather more data to inform regional program Low risk (< 0.05 aMW) True up based on: Annual metering of 54 RTUs [BPA-Idaho] Summer of 2010 RTU data Continued monitoring for persistence? RTU Service Provisional Deemed Savings Value

  14. Regional Results Database • Results from all programs will be entered • Primary structure a directory tree with each program results as a separate directory • Each directory: unit raw data template + results summary for each unit + site/unit characteristics & service measures • Summary data will include selected site/unit characteristics • Potential integration with other regional databases

  15. Database Summary View Site Summary Pre- and Post- Service Summary Fan kW Fan duty (frac of full load) Baseload kWh/day Balance point temp Slope kWh/day/degF Demand @ 80 deg F, Stage 1&2 kW Compressor trigger degF • Site ID • RTU ID • Weather data • Annual kWh pre • Annual kWh post • Compressor stages • Compressor max duty (frac of full load) • Economizer (y/n) • Monitoring level

  16. 2009 PNW RTU Outcomes • Critical Body of Knowledge being assembled • Measurement & analysis continuing • Results database being established for additional analysis • Provisional Deemed Savings Potential

  17. RTUG Next Steps - 2010 • Field Protocol/Provisional Savings meeting > January 19 • Recommendations to RTF > February 2 • Bonneville Pilot Development > February-May • Establish results database; final design review by RTUG, RTF, others > January-March • Continue to review Bonneville and other in-region and out-of-region sources of data analysis/results > Ongoing • Identify additional analyses > January-September • 12-month data analysis > June-September
