Key external stakeholders include JACO Environmental lnc (JACO), homeowners, renters and landlords. This program is intended to prompt the customer to decrease their energy used on inefficient second refrigerators or freezers by recycling and receiving financial incentives. JACO picks up a maximum of two Refrigerators and/or Freezers (units) from a custome/s home when they request a pick-up. The pick-up service is free to the customer. A S30 rebate is provided for each operational refrigerator and/or freezer, up to two per household. The pre-1995 refrigerator(s) or freezer(s) are picked up and delivered to a recycling facility operated by JACO. JACO recycles nearly 95 percent of each refrigerator, and safely disposes the toxins and ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbon gases from foam insulation. JACO works with local businesses to recycle glass, plastic and metal. Program Criteria: o The refrigerator or freezer needs to be in working condition and between 10 to 30 cubic feet in size. Units also must be 1995 models or older. o The program is for Avista Electric or Electric/Gas customers only.o Customers must own the unit(s) being recycled, with a limit of two units per account. o The S30 rebate check will be mailed to the customer within 4 to 5 weeks after the appliance collection. s Per Net-to-Gross Evaluation of Avista's 2011 Demand-Side Management Programs dated June 12, 20L2 as prepared by Cadmus. as lncentives are directly charged while the non-incentive utility costs provided here are allocated based on avoided costs since the utility charges and tracks expenditures at the segment level rather than program level. 20 lPage Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos.

As part of this strategy, the "Something for Everyone" or "Geographic Saturation" events promote energy efficiency measures and programs offered by Avista as well as other low cost measures that customers can implement in their homes. Examples of events include: o The program educates and gives an effective way to communicate energy efficiency and modifies behavior through awareness and product knowledge.o Avista participates in workshops, conferences, energy fairs and community events throughout Avista's service territory in Washington and ldaho, to spread the energy efficiency message.r Distributes energy efficiency materials, such as, CFLs and weatherization products to introduce the use of such products to our customers.o lnforms residential customers about the energy efficiency options and rebates available to them through Avista rebates. a8 lncentives are directly charged while the non-incentive utility costs provided here are allocated based on avoided costs since the utility charges and tracks expenditures at the segment level rather than program level. 22lP ase Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos.

This program encourages customers to take action through participation in currently offered programs. lt has also provided customers with energy efficiency information. Program Changes The 2010 business plan included a planned reduction in the number of scheduled events. Consequently, Avista scaled down its Geographic Saturation Program by participating in 41 community events throughout its service territory. ln the few years priol Avista participated in twice as many events. During those years we had reached and educated a significant number of customers. Avista concluded that we had succeeded in our goal to provide significant outreach to both rural and urban Avista customer communities and it was time to scale down the outreach efforts. ln 2011, Avista coordinated the community outreach program and developed a new approach, known as "outreach in a box". The "outreach in a borC' can be used by the DSM or other Avista departments to promote current rebates and educate customers about energy efficiency. During 2011, DSM staff participated in selected community energy fairs and public engagements. ln 2072, Avista continued its approach to limit DSM-led outreach to select community events and focused on energy fairs and vendor outreach. Avista also continued to maintain DSM tools for other departments to leverage for use at their public engagements. This approach also known as "outreach in a box" was well received as DSM-led events reduced from over 50 to less than a dozen while making DSM messaging and support available to other Avista departments wanting to include energy efficiency awareness in their efforts.

Clothes Washers that either meet the Energy Star@ or the Consortium for Energy Efficiency Specifications for commercial clothes washers are eligible for a 5200 incentive per unit. Program Activity All rebates related to natural gas were discontinued in November 20L2. The Company's integrated resource plan for natural gas was evaluated in 2OL2 and identified a significant drop in avoided costs. As a result, natural gas rebate programs did not pass the cost effectiveness criteria. The Company filed a request with the Commission to "discontinue" natural gas rebate programs temporarily. ln the event natural gas avoided costs start to rise, these programs will be re-evaluated for cost effectiveness. This filing was approved and natural gas rebates were no longer available as of November L,2OL2. Other 2012 activities included meetings to help educate vendors from a variety of sectors (HVAC, insulation, builders) about Avista programs and protocol. Program Changes The Commercial Clothes Washer Program is on-going and changes are made on an as needed basis.

Program Activity All rebates related to natural gas were discontinued in November 20L2. The Company's integrated resource plan for natural gas was evaluated in 2072 and identified a significant drop in avoided costs. As a result, natural gas rebate programs would not pass the cost effectiveness criteria. The Company filed a request to the Commission to "discontinue" natural gas rebate programs temporarily. ln the event natural gas avoided costs start to rise, these programs will be re-evaluated for cost effectiveness. This filing was approved and naturalgas rebates were no longer available as of November L,2OL2. Other 2012 activities included meetings to help educate vendors from a variety of sectors (HVAC, insulation, builders) about Avista programs and protocol. Program Changes The Commercial Food Service Equipment Program is on-going and changes are made on an as needed basis. Listed below are the notable differences in the measures offered and the rebates available in those prior program years. Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-13 AVU-G-13 C.

Program Activity All rebates related to natural gas were discontinued in November 20t2. The Company's integrated resource plan for natural gas was evaluated in 2Ot2 and identified a significant drop in avoided costs. As a result, natural gas rebate programs were not passing the cost effectiveness criteria. The Company filed a request to the Commission to temporarily "discontinue" natural gas rebate programs. ln the event natural gas avoided costs start to rise, these programs will be re-evaluated for cost effectiveness. This filing was approved and natural gas rebates were no longer available as of November L,2Ot2. Other 2012 activities included meetings to help educate vendors from a variety of sectors (HVAC, insulation, builders) about Avista programs and protocols. Program Changes The Commercial Windows and lnsulation Program is an on-going program and changes are made as needed. This program was rolled out in January of 2011 and no significant changes have been made.

Side-stream filtration systems are easily installed on new or existing systems. Side-Stream filtration does not replace normal maintenance, but helps the equipment operate more efficiently between normal cleaning and inspections. This program helps keep the exterior water loop cleaner and therefore makes the exchange of heating or cooling more efficient. Customers must have Avista electric service, a minimum filter efficiency of at least 75 percent, must filter at least 2 percent of the full chilled water circuit flow and must have automatic backwash system and controls. The filter medis must remove particles 0.5 microns and greater in size. lf chiller and cooling tower systems are interconnected, the entire system must be filtered. This incentive is only available for open loop evaporative cooling tower/chiller systems. Normal annual teardown, inspection and maintenance of the chiller must still be performed and upon request, a copy of the annual maintenance report must be provided to Avista for two years after completion of the measure. A rebate is provided to the customer after proof of purchase and other appropriate documentation has been provided. Customers have 90 days from installation of the equipment to apply for an Avista rebate. The incentives for this measure are S18 per ton or 50 percent of the installed cost, whichever is less.

There is significant opportunity for lighting improvements in commercial facilities. Avista has been offering site specific incentives for qualified lighting projects for many years. ln an effort to streamline the process and make it easier for customers and vendors to participate in the program we developed a prescriptive approach, which began in 2004. This program provides for many common retrofits to receive a pre-determined incentive amount. lncentive amounts were calculated using a baseline average for existing wattages and replacement wattages. Energy savings claimed are calculated based on actual customer run times using the averages as calculated for incentive amounts.

The screening of measures and programs to exclude those that are not anticipated to be cost-effective on a net TRC basis (absent reasonable exceptions) clearly have an influence upon acquisition. Shifting cost- effectiveness is most frequently the result of changing technologies, the cost of those technologies, avoided costs, measure life and energy savings. TRC cost-effectiveness results in the most recent business plan for the overall Prescriptive Commercial Lighting lncentive Program: Program Changes ln December 2012, the T12 to T8 lighting conversion program ended. The non-T12 Prescriptive Commercial Lighting incentives offerings for both Exterior and lnterior energy efficient lighting retrofits have been changed and expanded. To describe the numerous program changes, the T12 Prescriptive Commercial Lighting lncentives announcements for 2012 and 2013 have been included on the following pages. Estimated Savings and Cost-effectiveness Components No UES exists for the electric prescriptive lighting program. The estimated savings are calculated through the use of a prescriptive calculator. The estimated savings for this program are subject to annual evaluation. Non-energy benefits are specific to the project and are provided by the various customers where applicable.

Key Findings lnterview Findings: Large Project Review Challenges and Changes ln August 2011, Avista instated a new internal system to independently review site-specific projects with incentives greater than SSO,OOO. This review stemmed from a recommendation in the 2010 Moss Adams process report, pursuant to the 2010 Washinglon Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) rate case settlement terms. The objective of the independent review was to examine project evaluation reports prior to entering into contract with the customer, to ensure that: o All supporting documentation was in place, o Savings calculations were reasonable and well supported, and o The project complied with tariff rules. 720 5W Washington Streel Suite 400 Portland, OR 972O5 Voice: 503.467.71OO Fax: 503.228.3696 An Employee-Owned Compony ww.cadmusgroup.com Corporate Headquarters: IOO 5th Avenue, Suite IOO Waltham, MA O245'l Voice: 617.673.7000 Fa\:617 -673-7OO1 Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos. AVU-E-13 AVU-G-'|3 C. Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 1 ol 23 Redacted Avista staff who participated in the review process experienced multiple challenges, which are discussed in more detail below. By the end of 20L2, staff concluded that the review process was not functioning efficiently, nor did it align with the intention of the Moss Adams report recommendation. Avista suspended the review process on January L,2OL3. ln 2013, Avista intends to implement a new approach for reviewing site-specific projects, with the goal of balancing customer service and expediency with a sound review. ln June 2013, Avista demand-side management (DSM) staff were finalizing this new approach. Review Process Challenges ldentified by Avista Cadmus interviewed five Avista DSM staff who were involved in the review process. During the interviews, we discussed several core areas of concern with the process and determined that the intended protocol was not being followed. The process dictated that the Planning Policy, and Analysis (PPA) team independently review the energy savings and proposed incentive levels of all site-specific projects with incentives greater than 550,000, to ensure these impacts were calculated reasonably. ln 2012, only one-third of projects that met the criterion were sent to PPA for review. When Cadmus asked staff about the challenges with this review process, the following four main issues surfaced: L. Dffirentlocused ottention ocross teoms. One staff person reported that the key personnel within the DSM department involved in the review had different focused attention, which in some cases translated to varying objectives for reviewing and approving projects. This is a problem across many organizations and is, by no means, limited to Avista. While implementation teams are most concerned with customer satisfaction and speedy and efficient delivery planning and evaluation teams are most concerned with compliance. At Avista, the lmplementation team was focused heavily on the customer relationship, while PPA was focused on ensuring compliance with the tariff, minimizing the risk of uncertainty associated with claimed savings, and navigating relationships with regulatory bodies and stakeholders. This is not to say that neither team was unconcerned with the other's objectives. While staff agreed that their roles support the comprehensive functions and o// overarching goals of Avista's DSM programs, specific daily priorities added to misunderstandings about the value of the review and, in some cases, differing opinions on how and when to resolve issues. Trunsryrency, Some staff who were heavily involved in Avista's site-specific projects reported not understanding the purpose, actions, or outcomes of the review. Without program- stakeholder buy-in at all levels of the process, successful implementation was challenging. One particular concern was a lack of information regarding how long the review would take to complete for each project; this made it difficult to communicate accurate information to customers on the status oftheir projects and the expected timeline. Time log ond tlme commitment. A common obstacle cited by all staff interviewed by Cadmus was that the review process took too long to complete for each project. Often, the issues identified during the review required further discussion to understand the assumptions behind the savings estimation, new data or information requests from the customer, or new analysis, 2. 3. Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-I3 AVU-G-13 C. Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 2 ot 23 Redacted which caused delays. Another challenge was the volume of the projects and limited staff resources. Having only one engineer dedicated to reviewing the large projects was problematic and often caused bottlenecks. 4. Llnking revlew wlth concrete octions. The review process lacked a formal follow through procedure for problems uncovered during the review. This caused frustration as, at times, findings and recommendations were not implemented. lnterviews and documentation of the review process indicated that the e)cent to which the issues were resolved varied. For enhanced delivery of DSM services, there needs to be an agreement regarding the best path forward for calculating savings. lssues ldentified Through the large Project Review One of the major findings of the review was the overall reliance on customer-supplied data and the need for a reliable and replicable approach to source that data. Avista staffwere in agreement that increasing the clarity and transparency about where engineering assumptions and inputs were coming from was a needed improvement and a successful outcome of the review process. Cadmus reviewed the communication logs for 22 projects that undenrvent the internal review. ln addition to the above issue of reliance on customer-supplied data or assumptions (which was inaccurate in some cases), the following issues were documented for these projects: . lnteractive effects were accounted for incorrectly . Projects had missing documentation, such as invoices r Engineering errors resulted in incorrect claimed savings and incentive amounts (the significance of these errors varied in size) Planned Process lmprovements ln 2013, Avista staff worked together to design a new system to address the challenges cited and issues discovered with the 2012 review process. The staff is currently implementing a two-step review process for all site-specific projects that entails a technical review by the engineering team and an administrative review by program staff. o Technlcol Revrew, Ensures that savings and incentive calculations in a project's Evoluotion Report are well-supported, and calculated according to tariff terms and Dual Fuel lncentive Calculator policy. The new system includes a checklist with questions that guide the review, along with instructions and policy guidelines, The Technical Review will be completed before the evaluation report is sent to the customer, which contains estimated energy savings and the corresponding incentive level. c Admlnlstrotlve Review: Ensures that minimum requirements are met before a contract is issued with a customer and before an incentive is paid. ln the new process, PPA conducts random spot-checks to QA,/QC projects, and ensures that the review process is smooth and effective. A main distinction between the 2012 and 2013 process is that this random spot-check is intended to happen after the project has entered contract, or, in some cases, after Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos. AVU-E-I3 AVU-G-13 C. Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 3 ot 23 Redacted the incentive has been paid. According to implementation staff, this will help overcome bottleneck challenges. Both checklists (the Technical Review and Administrative Review) will be formalized documents known as Top Sheets, which will be attached to project documentation through the life ofthe project. Avista intends to synchronize the Top Sheet information with Tracker, the engineering database, and with SalesLogix, the customer information system that houses nonresidential rebate and incentive information. ln June 2013, the lmplementation team began using Top Sheets for all projects. 2077-2072 Databdse dnd Redlization Rate Review As part ofthe 2012 process evaluation, Cadmus reviewed Avista's 2012 nonresidential project database and the 2011 and 2012 realization rates for the nonresidential portfolio.

Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 4 ot 23 Redacted Database Review Tariff Schedules 90 and 190 govern how Avista can spend funds from the Energy Efficiency Rider Adjustment paid by Washington and ldaho ratepayers.l To assess compliance with these Tariff Schedules, we examined two main indicators: 1. Project incentive amount: electric and natural gas project incentives should not exceed 50% of the incremental cost of the project (pp. 3 of Schedule 90; pp. 2 of Schedule 190). 2. Project simple payback a. For lighting measures, the simple payback period must be a minimum of one year and should not exceed eightyears. (pp.2 ofSchedule 90) b. For non-lighting electric and natural gas measures, the simple payback period must be a minimum of one year and should not exceed 13 years. (pp. 2 of Schedule 90; pp. 2 of Schedule 190) The tariff rules make exceptions for the following programs or projects (pp. 3 of Schedule 90; pp. 2 of Schedule 190): o DSM programs delivered by community action agencies contracted by Avista to serve limited income or vulnerable customer segments, including agency administrative fees and health and human safety measures; . Low-cost electric/natural gas efficiency measures with demonstrable energy savings (e.g., compact fluorescent lamps); and . Programs or services supporting or enhancing local, regional, or national electric/natural gas efficiency market transformation efforts. lln 2Ot2, Avista considered new construction fuel conversions in multifamily building projects and T12 to T8 commercial lighting conversion projects as market transformation efforts.) Applicobility ol Toriff to Prescriptive Proiects At the time of this memo, Avista's tariff was undergoing revisions and a new tariff was filed on June 26, 20L3. Avista uses the tariff provisions to: 1) design prescriptive measure offerings and incentive amounts and 2) evaluate the eligibility of site-specific projects on a project-by-project basis to ensure compliance before approving them. Cadmus does not believe the tariff language was clear enough on the topic of compliance to conclude whether individual prescriptive projects should be subject to the simple payback period and incentive cap restrictions at the time of rebate application approval. lnternally, Avista staff also expressed disagreement on this matter.

Drake, Avista Schedufe 2, Page 5 ol 23 Redacted For purposes ofthis review, Cadmus evaluated both prescriptive and site-specific projects against the provisions of the tariff described above, to allow Avista to review the findings and incorporate them into their planning. lt should be clear that by presenting the prescriptive findings below, Cadmus is simply suggesting that better clarity is needed and not necessarily that these projects were out of compliance. Avista's proposed tariff clarifies that moving forward, site-specific projects are subject to the incentive cap and simple payback periods at the time of project approval, while these parameters will be used in the planning process for prescriptive measure offerings and incentive amounts. Slmple Pay&ack Flndlngs The majority of projects were in compliance with simple payback rules. Cadmus found that all site- specific projects met the 13-year and eight-year payback periods, with the exception of some legacy projects that were initiated before the new tariff rules took effect on January L,zOtL. Less than 10% of prescriptive projects exceeded tariffsimple payback periods. Table 2 summarizes our findings.

Upon reviewing a sample of 10 prescriptive lighting projects that exceeded the eight-year simple payback period, Avista found that five projects involved a T12 to T8 conversion and three projects contained database errors that inflated the simple payback period. ln these cases, what should have been entered as months were assumed to be years, and multiplied by 12. The sample size for this manual review was not large enough to e)drapolate findings to the full population. However, based on the review findings, it is probable that a large proportion of the projects included in Table 2 involved T12 to T8 conversions and/or experienced database errors, thus significantly lowering the impact on energy savings and incentive costs. tgt6.

Upon reviewing these projects, however, we found that nearly half experienced a rounding error from Avista's Dual Fuel lncentive Calculator that put them over the 50% limit by just S0.zS (see Figure 1). Avista staff reviewed the remaining projects to understand why they exceeded the incentive cap, and found that the majority were incorrectly entered in Saleslogix. Avista reported that these projects had been calculated and processed as prescriptive projects, but incorrectly entered into the database as site-specific, Figure 1.

As noted above, this finding was expected because Avista's program design and delivery strategy did not consider prescriptive payments as being subject to the tariff rules, and the lighting market transformation effort exceeded 50% by design. Table 3 outlines the incentive payment and energy savings impacts from projects that exceeded the 50% incentive cap. Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-I3 AVU-G-13 C.

Again, Avista manually reviewed 10 lighting projects that were over the 50% cap, and found that eight were T12 to T8 conversion projects, considered market transformation. Based on these findings, it is probable that a large proportion of the lighting projects listed in Table 3 involved T12 to T8 conversions, which would greatly reduce the cost impacts and energy saving impacts of from lighting projects over the 50% cap. Doto Entry ond Dato Trocking ln addition to assessing policy conformance, Cadmus reviewed the 2012 database for data accuracy and completeness.

They also uncovered several data errors with these specific projects. ln all 20 projects, at least one of the following issues was found: o Simple payback periods were entered in the database in years instead of months, r Simple payback periods were entered incorrectly (SalesLogix data fields were not consistent with calculations), o Prescriptive projects were entered as site-specific projects, Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos.

Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 8 of 23 Redacted o lnformation from invoices regarding quantity and type of light fixtures was not transferred to prescriptive incentive forms and SalesLogix correctly, o lneligible measures were rebated, and o lncentives were calculated incorrectly. Realization Rate Review Cadmus' impact evaluation methodology consisted of validating the reported savings for a sample of projects by conducting independent meterin8, simulation, or regression analysis and by visiting the proiect sites to verify that equipment was installed and operating as intended. The result of our project- level measurement and verification tasks is a verified, ot ex post, savings value for each project in the sample. The ratio ofverified savings to reported savings is the ptoject's reolizotion rote. A realization rate of 100% indicates that no adjustments were made to the reported savings value. ln 2011, Cadmus' nonresidential impact evaluation sample consisted of 179 electric and gas projects.2 Of those, the majority (n=112) required a saving adjustment by more than 10%. That is, 63% of projects had realization rates of either 110% or greater, or 90% or lower, Specifically, just 35% of electric projects and 42% of gas project realization rates ranged between 90% and 110%. This changed in 2OL2, when the majority of projects (64 of 101)3 experienced realization rates between 90% and 110% (see Figures 4 and 5 below). Cadmus analyzed how frequently the evaluation resulted in an upward or downward adjustment of reported savings, by how much, and the reasons behind the discrepancy between reported and evaluated savings. The purpose of this review is to provide Avista with information to assist in improving the reliability ofthe reported savings in the future, thereby improving realization rates for the nonresidential portfolio. Direction, Frequency, ond Mognitude of Verilied Sovings Adjustments Cadmus determined that when savinBs needed to be adjusted by more than 10%, they were more likely to decrease than increase. ln other words, most reported savings for projects in this group were being overestimated, and the verification process resulted in a downward adjustment. This was true for all 2011 projects, and for all 2012 electric projects. ln20L2, gas projects required more upward adjustments. 2011 Prorects Figure 2 illustrates the distribution of realization rates in increments for 2011 projects. ln 2011, 51 electric projects had a realization rate below 90% (42%), while 27 electric projects had a realization rate This number reflects projects with gas savings and electric savings. We actually evaluated 157 unique projects, some of which achieved dual-fuel savings. For the purpose of the realization rate review, we treated gas savin8s separately from electric savings. The full 2012 impact evaluation sample contained 109 projects. We excluded eight projects from our analysis that still had measurement and verification activities occurrinB at the time of writing this report. Exhibit No. 2 Case Nos. AVU-E-I3 AVU-G-13 C.

However, for gas projectt the relative proportion of reported therm savings in each increment dld not accurately represent the corresponding number of projects. For example, while just 19% of gas projects experienced a realization rate of below 5096 (but more than 0%), these projects represented 47% of reported savings. Dividin8 the projects by increments revealed that a large portion of the projects whh realization rates below 9096 were in fact below 50%, and most of the projects with realization rates over 110% were actually over 150%. This indicates that not only was the range of realization rates large, but a significant portion of reported savings values were sufutortidlly dillercnlfiom verified savings, requiring an adjustment of 50% or Sreater, 2012 Prolccts ln 20L2, realization rates improved. Rates were less variable, and projects required smaller reported savings adjustments than those in 2011. For example, 61% of electric projects and 57% of gas projects had a realization rate between 90% and 110%, leaving only approximately one,third of projects that required an adjustment over 10% (see Figure 3). Ofthe 2012 elecric proiects that required an adjustment over 10%, most required a downward adjustment (18 projects; 31%). This is consistent with 2011 results. Ofthose 2012 gas projects that required an adjustment over 10%, the direction was upward (eight projects; 19%). Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AW-E-13 AVU-C-I 3 C.

Specifically, this sample entailed projects with electric savings that had been adjusted by over 25% in either direction (a realization rate below 75% or above 125%). The original sample size was 75 projects; 57 from 2011 and just 18 from 2012. Upon reviewing the 2011 project files, we found that seven projects did not have sufficient reported savings documentation to accurately conclude the reason for the savings adjustment. Therefore, the final 2011 sample size was 5Q leading to an overall sample size of 58. Based on our review, Cadmus concluded that there were nine main reasons for the savings adjustments; these are outlined in Table 4. Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-I3 AVU-G-13 C.

Other top reasons included ENERGY STAR deemed savings updates (n=9) and differences in Cadmus' and Avista's calculation methodology (n=8). ln 2OL2, there were far fewer projects with adjustment factors of 25% or greater. The top reason categories in 2012 stayed relatively consistent with those in 2011, excluding the ENERGY STAR deemed savings updates.

While this process is underway, we have several recommendations may assist Avista with successful implementation and an effective process. Recommendations: . Elfedively communicate the new proied review process to oll key teom members, Many of the issues identified through Avista staff interviews regarding the prior review process centered on communication challenges. When implementing the new process, ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the review goals and correct protocol. . Ensure therc are cleor protocols in ploce lor oddressing issues identlffed durlng the review ond the spot<heck, To ensure that Avista and its customers are benefiting from the time and resources dedicated to this process, consider implementing some check-points and policies to clarifo how and when to alter project savings and incentive levels if issues arise during the review. This may include designating a senior-level point person to serve as the decision-maker for questions or disagreements regarding a project or its calculation methodology. Consider identifying methods to ensure that all issues are discussed and resolved before incentive amounts are communicated to the customer. . Estoblish o gool lor the number or percentage of projects that should undergo o rondom spot- check. Avista's new process dictates that the PPA team will independently review a sample of Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-13 AVU-G-13 C. Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 17 oI 23 Redacted projects, in addition to the peer review process. We suggest establishing a clear metric for the number or percentage of projects this sample will include, such as five projects or 10% of all projects. Estobllsh o reasonoble gool lor how long the revlew process should toke. A core challenge with the prior review process was the time lag. Keeping in mind that any process aimed at improving the quality and accurary of incentive payments and claimed savings will add time to existing procedures, Avista should internally discuss the amount of delay that is reasonable. lt may be beneficial to create objectives for how long various steps of the process should reasonably take. For example, Avista could establish one goal to complete the first Top Sheet review within a certain timeframe, then establish another goal to guide how long it should take to resolve any issues, if identified. Consider adoptlng o tlercd opproach to the review so thot lotger, hlgh+isk projeas recelve more scrutlny before controcts ore lssued and incentives ore pld, Under the planned approach, all site-specific projects will undergo peer review. Often, utilities employ a risk- mitigation approach to ensure that the largest and most expensive projects receive the most rigorous review before they are approved, Avista might explore adjusting their review process to focus the most time and resources on larger projects. An example of this type of approach is provided in Table 7.

Conslder sttuctuilng rondom spot-check, or "oudits," to occut ot vorlous tlmes oI the prccess. The current review structure plans to have some projects receive independent review after the project evaluation report is complete or after the project is paid, so that any mistakes can be corrected for future projects. However, it may be beneficial to stagger projects so that a random portion also receives independent audits before incentive information is communicated to the customer. Database and Realization Rate Review Concluslon: The accuracy of Avista's claimed savings, measured by realization rates, improved significantly from 2011 to 2012. Three of the four main reasons for large savings adjustments in 2012 are largely outside Avista's control. However, Avista can still improve the reliability of claimed savings estimates falling into the reason category of Calculation Error in Reported Savings. Exhibit No.2 Case Nos. AVU-E-13 AVU-G-13 C. Drake, Avista Schedule 2, Page 18 oI 23 Table 7, Example of Tiered Approach to large Project Review Redacted Recommendatlon: . Continue to move fonivard implementing the new review process to identify and resolve savings calculation errors. Conclusion: Most of the nonresidential projects were compliant with the 2012 tariff rules, but disagreement among DSM staff on tariff interpretation makes it difficult to draw conclusions about prescriptive projects. Avista has already begun updating the tariff to address this concern and create a more coherent policy. There are several improvements Avista can make to data tracking activities to clarifo policy compliance on a project-by-project basis and improve data collection overall. Recommendatlons: Clearly document legocy prolecb or morket tronslormotion Nolects ln SolesLogix. Avista's tracking system specifies measure type, but lacks detailed information such as whetherthe project involved a T12 to T8 lighting conversion. This makes it challenging to understand which projects are considered market transformation. Further, legacy projects are not specified.
