Residential Spillover • Objective • To produce spillover estimates for the residential sector and to verify CPUC assumption of a 5% spillover value • Research Questions • What energy efficient measures are being installed without use of program incentives or as a direct result of program intervention? • Why did customers install/purchase these measures without program support? • What savings result from participant and non-participant spillover? • What percent of those savings are attributable to program interventions? • Current Status – budget allocated for the following tasks: • Write full EM&V plan • Create participant self-report survey battery • Work with other EM&V consultants to include battery in planned surveys Market Studies EM&V Roadmap - Stakeholder Presentation - 2/12/14
