Commercial Clothes WasherUES Measure Update Regional Technical Forum February 19, 2014
Commercial Clothes Washer Measure Overview • Current Category: Proven • Current Status: Active • Current Sunset Date: March 31, 2015 • Reason for Update/Review: Current workbook includes one market segment - commercial laundromats. Snohomish County PUD requested if coin-operated machines in multi-family common areas could be added to the measure workbook.
Measure Descriptions • Go to the following sections in the Summary tab in the proposed measure workbook: • Measure Properties • Measure Identifiers
Summary of Updates • Reviewed current workbook to see which parameters in analysis could change between the two market segments. • Determined that two parameters could be affected: • Washer cycles per day • Lifetime (EUL) • Looked at current DOE Technical Support Document (TSD) for commercial clothes washers1, and found that the TSD provides estimates of cycles/day and EUL for both laundromats and coin-operated multi-family machines separately (see next slide). 1 U.S. DOE's 2010-01-19 Commercial Clothes Washers Final Rule Technical Support Document: Chapter 8. Life-Cycle Cost and Payback Period Analysis. Accessed at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/product.aspx/productid/46.

Remaining Issues for RTF Discussion • No factors identified.
Summary of Changes • All savings, costs, and cost-effectiveness remain unchanged for laundry measures. • Costs are assumed to be constant between laundry and multi-family common area units. • Annual savings for multi-family are less than laundromats, given the relative reduction in cycles per day (3.4 versus 6, respectively) • Go to the Presentation tab in the proposed measure workbookfor graphs of savings, cost, and TRC B/Cs.
Staff Proposal • Approve the addition of multi-family common areas to the commercial clothes washer UES measure analysis
Proposed Decision “I _______________ move that the RTF: • Approve the addition of multi-family common areas to the commercial clothes washer UES measure analysis.”
