  1. Vending Machine Characterization Study: Phase II Presented atRegional Technical Forum June 2, 2009 Presented byDoug BruchsThe Cadmus Group, Inc.

  2. Overview • Review of Phase I • Goals of Phase II • Methodology • Findings • Programmatic Recommendations

  3. Phase I: Overview • Market Characterization Study • Results presented at August 2007 RTF meeting • Research Questions • Who are the major market actors? • What is the size and age of the vending market? • What are the latest trends in machine design? • What are the current replacement and refurbishment practices? • What energy efficiency opportunities exist?

  4. Phase I: Methodology

  5. Phase I: Findings • Approximately 120,000 machines • Majority between 7 and 11 years old (1996-1999) • Collectively consume 400 Million kWh annually • In the field between 10 to 15 years • Annually, between 6,000 to 12,000 new machines are purchased; virtually all ENERGY STAR Tier 1 • Coke/Pepsi bottlers own approx. 90% of refrigerated machines • Glass-front machines growing due to their ability to vend a wide-array of products

  6. Phase I: Efficiency Opportunities Identified Measures/Actions • De-lamping (pre-1996 vintage machines) • Thermostatic controls (1996-1999 machines) • Fan motors and thermostatic controls (2000-2003 machines) • Software controls (2004-present machines)

  7. Goals of Phase II Narrowing of Scope • Focus on measures, not market • Generate programmatic recommendations Assess the Viability of Identified Opportunities • Refine energy savings potential • Determine implementation costs/methods • Explore industry acceptance

  8. Phase II: Methodology Technical Research • Interviews with refurbishment centers, machine manufacturers, and USA Technologies • Leased a common machine and procured, installed, and metered: • Baseline Conditions • T8 – T12 Lighting Kit Conversion • De-lamping • Thermostatic Control Installation (VM2IQ) • Concurrent Cadmus EPA Study • 25 new ENERGY STAR machines were metered with and without software controls activated

  9. Phase II: Methodology Market Research • Interviews with 20 regional bottlers • Initial reaction • Percent of eligible fleet likely to participate • Motivations and barriers to participation • Willingness to alter current practices to utilize a program • Ease/difficulty of implementation • Availability and capacity of resources for implementation • Technical ability to implement more advanced options • Impact of various incentive levels

  10. Phase II: Findings of Technical Research

  11. Phase II: Findings of Market Research • Bottlers not overly enthusiastic about any of the programs • Only take action when required by host site • Schools, government buildings, etc. • “Need” full cost recovery • $65/hr for vendors • $85/hr for technical staff • Primary bottler concerns • Costs • Advertising • Competitive equity • Lack of experience/training • Corporate oversight

  12. Phase II: Recommendations Three Potential Programs • Host Site-Driven De-Lamping Program • Host Site-Driven Software Program • Bottler-Driven Thermostatic Controls Program Selection Criteria • Savings potential • Implementation feasibility

  13. Phase II Recommendation: Host Site-Driven De-Lamping Program Offer host sites $20/machine to de-lamp all vending machines • Impacts all vintages • Leverages host site market force • Can be completed during regular visits to site by vendor • Administratively simple and fair as it applies to all vintages

  14. Phase II Recommendation: Host Site-Driven De-Lamping Program

  15. Phase II Recommendation: Host Site-Driven Software Program Offer host sites $40/machine to enable software controls on all post-2004 machines • Achieves the full savings potential of the newer units • Leverages host site market force • Administratively simple and fair as it applies to all new machines • Training likely required, but can be completed by vendors on usual trips to site

  16. Phase II Recommendation: Host Site-Driven Software Program

  17. Phase II Recommendation: Bottler-Driven Thermostatic Controls Program Incent bottlers $150/machine to install thermostatic controls (most likely VM2IQs) during regular refurbishment cycle • Generated significant savings on test machine (aligned with the manufacturer’s estimate) • Less cost-effective but applicable to the largest active vintage (1996–1999) • Invisible to end user and more persistent then external VendingMisers • Training likely required and must be completed by a technician • Concerns about machine wear—education likely needed

  18. Phase II Recommendation: Bottler-Driven Thermostatic Controls Program
