  1. Regional Technical ForumFuture Funding Discussion March 19, 2014 RTF PAC Presentation

  2. Topics for Today • Review funding projections spreadsheet • Frequency of building stock assessments • End-use load research update

  3. Funding Projections Add 1 FTE for research design Update UES for appliance standards

  4. Net Change (2015-2019)

  5. Stock Assessment Frequency • Assessments/Surveys needed sooner than 5 years • Lighting (due to Solid State Lighting influx) • Equipment within buildings (IT, Entertainment, wood heat, appliance density & size, DHP, …) • New Construction Residential • Behavioral aspects • New Construction Commercial • IT Sector • Longer Update Cycles may be OK for: • Envelope, HVAC, Systems Integral to Buildings

  6. RBSA Data Used Recently at RTF and in BPA/Utility Programs • Roughly 80% of RTF Res. measures reference RBSA • Lighting socket count, type, wattage, hours & storage • Residential building characteristics & billing data for simulation model calibration • Cycles per year data for Dishwashers, Washers, Dryers – (Some data used in federal standards too) • Wood heat & supplemental fuel saturation • Ductless Heat Pump • Capacity value of EE • Power Plan Development • More to come from end-use metering analysis

  7. End-Use study updates • BPA offering to fund $250k of the expected $500k to keep RBSA metering project alive • Contingent upon region picking up remainder of cost • RTF uses RBSA data extensively in analysis • End-use metering helpful in understanding • Shape of load & savings • TRC calculation • Peak contribution

  8. We Know That Residential Water Heating Load Profiles Have Changed System Winter Peak Hours

  9. We Now Know That Using Old (ELCAP) Load Profiles Understate the Capacity Impact of Changes in Water Heater Efficiency

  10. Updating Load Profile Data Annual Energy and Winter Capacity Savings from 2010-2012 Utility Efficiency Programs 120 Lower Peak
