Demand Response Opportunities in Codes & Standards Prepared by: Amanda Gonzalez, Energy Solutions Energy Solutions| 1610 Harrison Street | Oakland, CA 94612 October 16, 2013
Agenda • The role that C&S can play in expanding DR • State of the Union on DR in Codes & Standards • Appliances • Building Codes • CA perspective: DR code triggers • Call to Action: Opportunities for stakeholder involvement to expand DR/ADR practices
Increasing interest in scaling up demand response and the role for C&S • “The time seems to be nigh for demand response and I think the pressure on all of us is increasing to make it work at a scale that hasn’t been done in the past.” • “…maybe the way [DR-enabled products] get developed is through appliance standards … or … building standards” Commissioner Andrew McAllister California Energy Commission Workshop on Increasing Demand Response Capabilities in California June 17, 2013 Energy Solutions | DR and C&S Integration
What can code do? Code can enable participation in DRCode can help standardizepractices It primesthe market for broader participationIt does not mandate participation
C&S can operate in parallel with voluntary efforts to help build the market (as opposed to a hand off) Energy Solutions | DR and C&S Integration
State of the union on Demand response in voluntary & mandatory code
Mandatory appliance standards have yet to incorporate DR; voluntary programs can push the market Energy Solutions | DR and C&S Integration
Green codes are getting greener… and are increasingly adopted as mandatory Voluntary Reach Codes will continue to prime code Anticipated Shift to mandatory requirements with uptake of “Green” Code. Energy Solutions - Standards Coordination
Green building codes continue to expand incorporation of DR measures Energy Solutions - Standards Coordination
California is well positioned to adopt DR measures into code... may not be the case for other states Regulatory Triggers • Loading order dictates DR before new generation • Large number of customers on Time-of-Use (TOU) rates • Title 24 cost-effectiveness evaluated using Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) • Advanced metering systems and protocols in place for administering events Technology Trigger Market Trigger Utility ADR programs are priming code and serving to build customer confidence around DR & ADR Energy Solutions - Standards Coordination
One of the largest barriers is in mitigating fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) • Title 24 - 2008 Communicating Thermostat DR Debacle • Public misinterpretation of code requirement • Codes is/will continue to be written to enable (NOT require) DR participation
Successful participation of DR/ADR practices is dependent on stakeholder involvement across several facets
