The company relies on evaluation by third-part contractors, internal analyses, and regional studies to ensure the ongoing cost effectiveness of programs through validation of energy savings and demand reduction, and the efficient management of its programs. Idaho Power considers research studies, cost-effectiveness analyses, surveys, market potential assessments, impact evaluations, process evaluations, and market effects evaluations important tools to improve DSM activities by testing program assumptions and results. The results of Idaho Power's evaluation efforts are used to enhance or initiate program changes. Idaho Power uses industr standard protocols for its internal and external evaluation efforts. The resources for these protocols and standards include the National Action Planfor Energy Effciency-Model Energy Effciency Program Impact Evaluation Guide, the California Evaluation Framework, the International Performance Measurement and Verifcation Protocol, and the Regional Technical Forum's (RTF) evaluation protocols. Idaho Power attends RTF meetings, participates in the Northwest Research Group, the Pacific Northwest Demand Response Project, and joins with several regional entities to evaluate energy efficiency technologies and advancements. Internal studies and analyses are managed by Idaho Power's Research and Analysis Team within the Customer Relations and Energy Effciency departent. Evaluations are specifically coordinated by the company's energy effciency evaluator while surveys are performed in consultation with the customer research coordinator. Third-part studies and evaluations are generally implemented through a competitive bidding process and managed by the Research and Analysis Team. On January 25, 2010 Idaho Power joined with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) staff and other Idaho investor owned utilities to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in IPUC Case No. IPC-E-09-09. The MOU reflects how Idaho Power intends to manage, plan, evaluate, and report its DSM activities. The MOU includes specific requirements for timing and reporting of evaluation on the Idaho Power's energy effciency and demand response programs. Within the MOU the IPUC staffhas agreed to provide reasonable and necessary leeway for the implementation of the guidelines described in this MOU for the Demand-Side Management 2009 Annual Report. The MOU requires that in Idaho Power's demand-side management annual reports the evaluation section includes a list of all evaluations completed, a table showing the schedule for evaluations, and copies of each evaluation. The evaluation schedule table provides an outline of the currently planned evaluations. Although the evaluation plan is expected to be used for scheduling evaluations, the timing of specific program evaluations wil be based on considerations of program needs, evaluation timing, and other relevant regional studies. In future reports Idaho Power plans to provide the names of primary outside evaluators and the titles of internal evaluators for each evaluation listed. The company also plans to report the total cost of evaluating its programs. Idaho Power has not separately tracked all internal evaluation overhead expenses in the past. In 2009, Idaho Power developed a comprehensive evaluation plan for its energy efficiency programs and commenced evaluations for several programs and measures. These included evaluations of Building Demand-Side Management 2009 Annual Report Page 1 Supplement 2: Evaluation Idaho Power Company Effciency, Easy Upgrades, ENERGY STAR(ß Homes Northwest, AlC Cool Credit, Irrgation Peak Rewards, and the Home Improvement pilot. Several programs are scheduled for process evaluations in 2010 including: Building Efficiency, Easy Upgrdes, Custom Efficiency, Irrgation Effciency Rewards, Home Products, Rebate Advantage, and Energy House Calls. As part of its evaluation efforts, Idaho Power is actively participating in several local and regional studies to identify and promote emerging technologies that may further enhance opportnities for new program deployment. Idaho Power contracted with Nexant, Inc. to provide a DSM potential study to identify cost-effective energy savings opportnities in the company's service area. Other examples include an energy use index and a study to investigate right-sizing of commercial rooftop HVAC systems developed for Idaho Power by the Idaho Integrated Design Lab (IDL). Some examples of regional studies include I) the Distrbution Efficiency Initiative, which was a study managed by NEEA to determine effcient ways to design and operate distrbution feeders through voltage regulators, 2) a regional study to evaluate the energy-savings potential of ductless heat pumps, and 3) measurement of the impacts of light-emitting diode lighting. Other regional analyses in which Idaho Power actively participated included the Commercial Building Stock Assessment and market progress evaluations. Included in this Supplement are copies of all evaluations, research studies, and customer surveys performed in 2008 and 2009. Also attached is a CD containing NEEA Market Effects Evaluations. Page 2 Demand-Side Management Annual Report 2008 Idaho Power Company Supplement 2: Evaluation MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The MOU entered on December 21, 2009 between Idaho Power, A vista Utilities, PacifiCorp, and the IPUC staff that details the prudency determination ofDSM expenditures. Demand-Side Management 2009 Annual Report Page 3 MEMORANPUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR PRUDENCY DETERMINATION OF DSM EXPENDITURES This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into on.this 21st day of December 2009 between Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power") , Avista Utilties, PacifCorp (d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power) (collecively "the Utilties" and individually as "the utilty"), and the Staff of the Idaho Public Utilties Commission ("Staff'). All of the above-named entities are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Parties" or individually as "Part." WIESSETH: A. The Parties agree that there exists a need for the Utilities and Staff to develop a common understanding of the basis upon which prudency of demand-side management ("DSM") expenditures can be determined for purposes of cost recovery. B. The Parties attended a workshop on October 5, 2009, to discuss the contents of a more comprehensive utilit annual DSM report that would demonstrate a commitment to, and accomplishment of, objective and transparent evaluation of DSM effort. The agreed-upon principles ("guidelines") stemming from that workshop are set out below. C. A copy of Staffs expectations for DSM prudency review is included as Attachment No.1. Although Utilties wil make a good fait effort to address Staffs expectations in following these guidelines, Staff expectations are informational and the Utilties wil not be bound by them in the context of this . Memorandum of Understanding. D. The Parties recognize that implementation of the DSM prudency guidelines and evaluation framework described below wil not automatically result in MEI\0RANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 1 DSM prudency findings. Instead, even with their implementation, future DSM prudency findings wil require the preparation of a formal filng with the Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows: Utilty DSM Annual Report Requirements 1. Template. Idaho Powets 2008 Demand-Side Management Annual Report wil be used as a starting point template for enhanced reports beginning with reports for 2009 DSM operations and results. Elements like those found in Idaho Power's 2008 report wil be included in each Utilty's annual report for Idaho programs that reporting year, clearly identifying Idaho-specific data and narratives. The DSM annual reports may be filed as stand-alone documents or as a combination of documents (e.g., combined with a DSM business plan) that together fulfll the agreements in this MOU. 2. Table of Contents. Each annual DSM report wil contain a table of contents that references all items specrfed below, including the appendix where the Cost-Effectiveness and Evaluation Table can be found. 3. Highlights or Introduction Section. Each annual DSM Report wil include an initial overview of: a. Process evaluations begun or completed during the previous year, modifications to DSM processes that resulted from those evaluations, and planned process evaluations and modifications for the coming year. b. Impact evaluations begun or completed during the previous year, modifications to DSM programs that resulted from those evaluations, and planned MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 2 impact evaluations for the coming year. This section wil also highlight updates of assumptions or reference reports used in assessing cost-effectiveness during the past year and those expected to be reviewed in the coming year. 4. Cost-Effectiveness Section. Each DSM annual report wil include a Cost- Effectiveness section and table listing individual programs/measures and the basis for estimates of their cost-effectiveness, i.e., formulas, data inputs and assumptions, and source/rationale for each datum and assumption, including the date of the source. 5. Evaluation Secton. Each DSM annual report wil include an Evaluation section and table showing the schedule for evaluations, including impact assessment, assumptions, source review, the schedule for field impact measurement, and completion date. If this schedule is not included, a reasonable explanation for why such a schedule, in whole or in part, is not necessary wil be included. a. It is anticipated that over a reasonable frequency cycle (e.g., 2 to 3 years), all substantial programs wil have undergone process and impact evaluations. However, Staff agrees that the initial evaluation cycles may be longer for 2008 and 2009 programs until these guidelines are fully implemented. b. A copy of each DSM evaluation completed since filing the previous DSM annual report will be included as an appendix to the annual DSM report, as well as any confidential cost information that are not included. .The utilty wil supplement its DSM report with any confidential cost information once the Staff has signed a protective ag reement with the utilit. 6. Program Specific Secton. Program-specifc sections of the annual DSM Report wil be reported by sector or by customer class, with a description of each MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ~ 3 individual program offered in the sector or customer class, and wil include a list of measures within each program. a. Process Evaluation. Each program-specifc section will have a process evaluation description that includes: i. Program implementation modifications undertaken during the course of the year and the rationale behind the change(s). ii. Other process issues identified during the course of the year. iii. Any formal process evaluation undertken during the year. iv. Total process evaluation cost, inclusive of both utilty- provided and contract-provided services, and names of primary outside evaluators conducting process evaluations and titles of internal evaluators. The DSM Report wil indicate which cost information is considered confidential; each utilty wil supplement its DSM report with any program evaluations containing confidential proprietary information once the Staff has signed a protective agreement with the utilty. v. Process changes completed or planned during the upcoming year, if any. b. Impact and Cost-effectiveness Evaluation. Each program-specific section wil include an impact and cost-effectiveness evaluation description including: i. Primary assumptions and source (with year source was produced) used in the initial determination of cost-effectiveness. ii. Primary assumptions and source (with year source was produced) used to determine postimplementation impact and cost-effectiveness. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 4 iii. Any changes from initial determination (or last evaluation) used for current cost-effectiveness evaluation and the reason for the change (such as updated assumptions, source or field measurement). iv. Planned cycle for reassessment of cost-effectiveness assumptions or measurement. v . Total impact evaluation cost, inclusive of both utilty-provided and contract-provided services, and names of primary outside evaluators and titles of inside evaluators. The DSM Report wil indicate which cost information is considered confidential; each utilty wil supplement its DSM report with any program evaluations containing confidential proprietary information once the Staff has signed a protective agreement wit the utilit. vi. Changes in program due to evaluation results. c. Market Effects Evaluations. Each program-specific secton wil describe any market effects evaluations that have been planned or completed by or for the utilty, including those planned or completed by the Northwest Energy Effciency Allance that are pertinent to any programs for which the utilit is claiming electricity savings or other impact. 7. Expenses Without Direct Energy Savings. As discussed in the October 5 workshop. the ~tilties have expenses associated with DSM-related activties for which they do not claim energy savings. Expenses associated with non-quantifiable energy saving programs and initiatives, including but not limited to, infrastructure, education, outreach, and research, wil be identified in the DSM annual reports and may be considered reasonable and necsary expenses for a broad based DSM portolio. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 5 Reasonable evaluations of such programs and efforts, commensurate with their costs, wil be accomplished and reported. The Utilities wil include these expenses in the calculations which determine a cost-effective DSM portolio. Prudency Determination 8. A utility may request a DSM prudency review at any time. 9. The Parties recognize that planning, implementing, and evaluating DSM programs are not a precise science; they require the application of judgment and experience. Utilties are encouraged to continually review these programs and make appropriate program improvements. 10. Within that context, review of utilty demand-side management expenses for prudency shall take into consideration utilty compliance with the planning, evaluation, and reporting guidelines listed above. A showing by the utility that it made a good faith effort to reasonably perform within these guidelines wil constitute prima facie evidence that the utilty's DSM expenses were prudently incurred for cost recovery purposes. By its performing within these guidelines, assuming there is no, evidence of imprudent actions or expenses, the utility can reasonably expect that in the ordinary course of business Staff wil support full cost recovery of its DSM program expenses. Treatment of 2008 and 2009 Expenditures 11. Recognizing that their 2008 DSM reports have already been filed, the Utilties need not amend those reports, but instead wil combine evaluation reporting for 2008 with 2009 in their 2009 reports to be filed in 2010. Because it is not possible to comply exactly with the requirements listed above for the historical expenses of 2008 and 2009, Parties agree to include as many components as possible in the 2010 Annual MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 6 DSM Report. Staff agrees to provide resonable and necessry leeway for the implementation of the guidelines descbed in this MOU for the .201 0 t)SM report.. 12.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 8 ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER ATTACHMENT NO.1 Staff Expectations for Cost-Effectiveness Tests, Methods and Evaluations 1. Cost Effectiveness Measurements. As stated at the October 5, 2009, DSM evaluation workshop, Staff believes that prudent DSM management requires that cost-effectiveness be analyzed from a wide variety of perspectives, including the ratepayer impact perspective, and that all programs and individual measures should have the goal of cost-effectiveness from the total resource, utilty, and participant perspectives. (See IPUC Order No. 22299 issued January 27, 1989, and Order No. 28894 issued November 21, 2001.) If a partcular measure or program is pursued in spite of the expectation that it wil not, itself, be cost-effctive from each of those three perspectives, then the annual DSM report should explain why the measure or program was implemented or continued. 2. Net-to-Gross Adjustments. , The net-to-gross issue was also discussed at the evaluation workshop. Some of the references that the utilties assert that they use, such as the California Standard Practice Manual, actually require that all tests be done on a net savings basis. Staff continues to assert that most programs and measures have a signifcant number of participants who would have installed the measure or changed their behavior in the absence of the utilty program. Absent new evaluation research to provide a basis for the net-to-gross adjustments used by each utilty, the utilit has the burden of explaining the source of its net savings adjustments or lack thereof. Staff wil continue to assess whether utilty cost-effectiveness estimates sufficiently and prudently include net-to-gross adjustments. 3. Third-Part Evaluators. Independence of evaluators from program and portolio management is another important issue that was discussed at the evaluation workshop. While it was generally agreed that not all evaluations need to be penormed by third-part evaluators, Staff believes such evaluations tend to be perceived as being more objective and transparent, and thus more credible, than evaluations penormed by utilty staff, all other factors being equal. While Staff wil review all evaluations and may MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - 9 review any evaluation in depth, utilities should expect that their self-evaluations may be scrutinized more closely than third-part evaluations, as may the programs themselves. 4. Estimating Non-Energy Benefits. Non-energy benefits are important and prudent factors to assess in analyzing cost-effectiveness and determining incentive levels, but Staff cautions against cre~ting confusion by subtracting the estimated value of non-energy benefits from program and measure costs when reporting DSM costs on a cents per kWh basis. 5. Contractor Costs. After DSM reports are filed in 2010, Staff may reconsider whether to require inclusion of specific contract amounts paid to contractors in subsequent DSM reports. 6. Suggested Resources. In addition to the several evaluation, measurement, and cost-effectiveness manuals that were discussed at the workshop, Staff suggests it may be useful for utilties to generally follow the guidelines in the National Action Plan for Energy Effciency's Model Energy Effciency Program Impact Evaluation Guide, released November 2007. Another of NAPEE's reports titled Understanding Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Effciency Programs: Best Practices, Technical Methods, and Emerging Issues for Polícy-Makers may also be usefuL.

Ken Miler -Snake River Allance Matt Elam-IPUC Recording Secretary: Shawn Lovewell-Idaho Power Co with Mike Darrngton-Idaho Power Co. Meeting convened at 9:40 am 9:40- Celeste Becia welcomed the group. Attendees and guest briefly introduced themselves. The previous meeting minutes were reviewed and acknowledged by the members. No changes were indicated for the minutes. 9:45 - 2008 Review, 2009 Preview *(please refer to the presentation slides along with the minutes.) Before Celeste presented the slides to the group, she informed the group that one of the department's goals of creating program handbooks was realized. Each of the program specialists created a handbook for their individual programs. One of these was passed around for review. The ACEEE State Energy Efficiency Scorecard slide was highlighted. Idaho Power increased program energy savings by 30% from 2006 to 2007 and was ranked 13th overall. Celeste gave highlights and previews for each of the energy effciency programs. Easy Upgrades-The actual savings for 2008 include the Vending Miser promotion. The 2009 goals for this program are more conservative due to the economy. Results as of February 9th 2009 show a savings of more than 5,000,000 kWh and a load reduction of more than 900 kW from roughly 140 final applications. Custom Effciency- This program partners with Idaho Design Lab frequently, therefore the contract with them was increased for 2009. They are instrumental in helping customers with planning and implementing their energy efficiency projects. Building Effciency-The 2008 target was far exceeded due in part to a large number of schools participating in this program as well as a 60 day application deadline that was implemented in February 2008. Commercial Demand Response- This will be a demand response program available to customers taking service under Rate Schedule 9 and 19. There was some discussion by the group regarding the length of an event as well as whether or not we wil be fiing in Idaho and Oregon. . Theresa Drake let the group know that we wil be filing a tariff in both Idaho and Oregon. Residential Energy Effciency-Idaho Power participates in many community events to raise the level of awareness in residential energy effciency. They are also looking to larger corporate events in order it educate more people. Idaho Power is also doing weekly radio spots on the Home Fix Radio Show. Idaho Power has 20 events scheduled from now until mid July. Idaho Power wil is also in the process of translating our book, 30 Simple Things You Can Do To Save Energy into the Spanish language. Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers-Idaho Power is targeting 45-60 homes in the Twin Falls area that are just above the low income threshold. AlC Cool Credit-Through a partnership with the Idaho Food Bank Idaho Power provided $20 to the Food Bank for each new enrolled participant in the Program. Through January we have received 2,392 new signups. The target goal in 2009 for this program is 12,000 new enrolled participants. This year, the Program wil be expanded to the Twin Falls and Pocatello regions. This Program is one of our main focuses at all of the community events. One member asked ifthere was an opportnity to include other customer groups in this Program. Celeste informed the group that we are planning to offer a similar Program for small commercial customers, but the cost-effectiveness for this expansion has been diffcult to confirm. Based on the Company's research, the expected load reduction per participant varies widely. In addition, Honeywell has increased the price for installations on commercial customers. Andrea Simmonsen also added that the thermostat might be a more attractive option for the small commercial customer, but they are more expensive to install. One member commented that she found it hard to imagine that a program that targets peak demand is not cost effective. It was decided that Idaho Power would conduct a pilot program this sumer for commercial customers to test actual demand reduction at their facilities. Heating and Cooling Program-It has been determned that keeping the tune-up measure as well as incenting the air conditioners is not cost effective and Idaho Power has decided at this time to remove them from the program. More explanation of this program follows in the cost~effectiveness presentation. ENERGY STAR(I Homes-One of the Home Pedormance Specialist has signed Hubble Homes as an ENERGY STAR builder. They have an aggressive marketing plan in place with a planned 400-500 housing starts this year. One member wanted to know what percentage of the homes would be ENERGY STAR. The group was told that it would be 100%. There was discussion surounding what Idaho Power's plans are in regards to this program with the real estate market in the decline. Celeste informed the group that Idaho Power's objective with this progrm is to increase the market share of ENERGY STAR homes and position the Program for when the market rebounds. Insulation Pilot-The name of this pilot was changed to Home Improvement program. It is expected that other measures wil eventually be included in this program. Contractor trainings wil begin this spring. There was some discussion on whether Idaho Power wil be including duct sealing into this program. The Company is investigating duct sealing as a potential measure to offer in the Program. Rebate Advantage program-This program has been affected by the housing downtur which in tu has caused the actual numbers to be quite lower than the target. Energy House CaUs- This program offers a free service to manufactured home owners. This program has recently experienced a lower than expected participation rate and it has been challenging to reach customers in the Pocatello and Twin Falls area. A short survey is being sent out to try and identify some of the reasons why customers do not participate in the Program. One of the members pointed out that the majority of manufactured home owners are seniors and historically they are more skeptical of "getting something for nothing" which could be a barrer. There was discussion on what is the best way to get access to some of these homes. One member stated that he found with this group, word of mouth is the best form of advertising. Home Products Program- This program is averaging 35 applications per day. ENERGY STAR Lighting- This program is stil seeing the most savings from the residential sector. The feedback that was received from a telephone surey showed that about half of Idaho Power's customers have, on average, 10 CFL's in their homes. Refrigerator Recycling-This program is slated to launch May 1st. Idaho Power wil be using a third part, JACO, on recommendation ofEEAG. JACO says Idaho Power can expect about 1 % of customers to participate. Irrigation Peak Rewards- With the new dispatchable program being implemented, Idaho Power anticipates a large demand reduction this year. The applications are being sent out to the customers. Idaho Power has received approval for this program from the IPUC, and approval from the Oregon PUC is expected soon. 11:00 Break 11:10 Cost-Effectiveness Methodology-Pete Pengily Idaho Power's methodology for cost-effectiveness was presented. The Heating and Cooling Efficiency Progrm was used as an example case. Slide #11 was discussed, which presented the analysis at the measure leveL. The slide shows that measures for new SEER 13, 14, and 15 units are not cost-effective based on the total resource cost (TRC). In addition, the measure for air conditioner and heat pump tune-ups are also not cost-effective. Based on energy savings estimates from third-part consultants, the conclusion is that the energy savings and demand reduction potential for air conditioning measures beyond code do not result in a high enough avoided cost benefit to be cost-effective once all costs ofthe Program are included from the TRC perspective. Slide #12, titled: 'Program Level on 2008 Actuals', demonstrates that even when costs are weighted by measure, these same measures are stil not cost-effective. The evaporative coolers wil stay in the program. It was explained that the admnistrative costs were distrbuted among measures based on an allocation of the time and resources, i.e. contractor training, associated with each measure. One member also asked why there was no participation cost for the evaporative coolers. Pete answered that there is no code and that evaporative coolers are cheaper than the SEER 13 air conditioners which are code; therefore, there is zero incremental cost to the customer Idaho Power is considering co-marketing these with the Home Products program since they are usually purchased in retail stores and self-installed. Celeste sumarized by saying that we are moving forward with these changes to the program and the contractors are being made aware of the changes. Idaho Power wil continue to evaluate this progrm going forward. One member expressed their appreciation for explaining the evaluation process. 11 :45 Consumer Electronics Buy-down Opportnity-Celeste Becia NEEA has developed a proposition for utilities to opt in to buy down the cost of a high efficiency television. The long term strategy of this is to support a platform across the Northwest that is capable of delivering key energy effcient consumer products for all major categories, including lighting and white Goods and small electronics. It wil be structued similar to the CFL program. The consumer would get a lower price at the point of purchase instead of requesting a rebate. The admnistrative cost would be very low for Idaho Power. The savings opportity in 2009 would be limited because products are already manufactued and being shipped. Getting involved now allows Idaho Power to have an influence in the incremental market share or in-store sales of the Tier 2 TVs for 2009, and to begin influencing the 2010 and 2011 products. Idaho Power would like to get feedback on this opportnity from the members ofEEAG. One member expressed concern of giving money to retailers to produce new TV s that encourage disposal which in tur puts the burden on the municipalities for disposal costs, and felt that the manufactuers should be responsible for bearing the brut of disposal fees. The intent of this program is to influence the manufactuer to produce higher efficiency units. The consumer needs to be made aware of what they are buying and the impact they can have by making smarter purchases. One member stated that this is a growing area for energy efficiency and that leveraging with NEEA makes sense. Overall, the EEAG supported the initiative. Celeste told the group that Idaho Power would look at this as a pilot. Collaboration may be the best way for us to break into the plug load market, due to low per unit energy savings. 12:15 Lunch 1:08 NEEA 2010-14 Funding Cycle - Celeste Becia Celeste gave the history of NEE A and explained the fuding cycles. Idaho Power proposes a number of reductions in the scope and cost of future NEEA activities. Idaho Power feels that these reductions are warranted due to the expanded role of utilities in delivering energy efficiency savings to the region, the increase in fuding for energy efficiency by the federal governent, the curent economic situation, and our regulatory environment. Idaho Power supports three areas of focus over the next five years: regional research, regional trining and education, and alliances and partnerships with national energy efficiency organizations and businesses. There were some areas that Idaho Power believes should not be part ofNEEA's role in the Northwest. These areas include program implementation and associated activities such as marketing, measurement, and potential impacts of programs. NEEA is proposing programs whose savings rely on behavioral standards and changes, rather than measures such as replacing inefficient equipment, where savings are more easily verified. Idaho Power feels it has a lot of potential within its customer base to actually change out the equipment, which puts the company in a different place than the rest of the region. One member felt that tripling the ratepayer contribution to NEEA could be problematic. Another member brought out that this is the lowest cost energy savings that Idaho Power is going to get and being able to leverage that is the best investment for the rate payer in Idaho. Another member voiced concern that even though NEEA has been involved in the past with the industrial programs, he feels that they have pulled back. He is not against NEEA, but he doesn't feel that tripling contributions and then having them pull away from the industrial sector is advantageous. One member felt that the contrbutions, being in a community pool, are in the end, all ratepayer money. That being said, Idaho Power is participating in the same activities as other utilties and at different points in time, all doing the same thing. Idaho Power should be careful that NEEA coordinates with the direction the company is going, but to not pull out altogether. Celeste informed the group that the purpose of this discussion was to bring forth some of the Company's concerns. The proposed contributions that would be made over the next funding cycle would be equal to our curent entire rider budget for one year. Idaho Power does not want to give the impression that they are pulling out of NEE A. One member brought out that for the last year the Power Council and BPA convened stakeholders in the region to look at the question of do we need to do more in the way of energy efficiency efforts. The number one recommendation that came from that was that expanding the role of NEE A and to make sure that we are using the regional entities. She also asked if the percentage of contributions to NEEA has gone up. Celeste said that Idaho Power's percentage has increased; BPA's has decreased which is being picked up by some of the larger IOU's in the region. Not only has Idaho Power's slice of the pie has increased, but the pie is now larger, which has led to the proposed tripling of our contribution. NEEA' s path going forward is to get board approval in ApriL. There is continued talk as to what wil be in the proposal. One of the outcomes could be the tripling of these contributions. Idaho Power wanted to make the group to know that this could be a signficant change in how much is received from the customer. One member asked if Idaho Power's local target of energy savings wil be going up since NEEA's target wil go up. Another member felt that mixed signals were being given from NEEA. He felt that they are wanting more money but wiling to deliver less. If contrbutions are going up then he felt that they should be increasing the deliverables. One member expressed her appreciation for this discussion and was glad that it was included in the meeting. 1:51 Energy Effciency and Integrated Resource Plan - Pete Pengily Pete provided an overview of the relationship for energy efficiency program planning and development and the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). There was one question on the gas cost for the DSM alternative cost. Pete explained that the DSM alternative variable costs are based on the Company's gas forecast from a variety of sources. Pete also discussed how the energy savings and demand response forecasts are included in the IRP for resource planning. 2:25 2008 Preliminary Financial & Energy Savings Report - Pete Pengily Pete provided an overview of the preliminary appendices that will be included in the 2008 DSM Annual Report to be completed on March 13,2009. These appendices show Energy Effciency Rider Expenses and program performance. One member asked what the differences were between the total utility cost and the total resource cost. Pete explained that the utilty cost is administrtion and labor and the total resource cost is the same without the incentive calculated in. 2:45 Regulatory Issues - Mike Youngblood Mike presented and explained some of the curent regulatory issues facing Idaho Power. These include the Company's General Rate Case, Energy Affordability Workshops, S02 Emission Proceeds, Energy Efficiency Rider, Automated Metering Infrastrctue, and the Federal Stimulus Package. There were some questions regarding the Energy Effciency Rider. Mike indicated that it was important for the Company to obtain a prudency recommendation from the IPUC regarding DSM expenditues. Mike discussed the challenges of adequately funding new DSM Programs under the curent Energy Efficiency Rider. 3:00 Schedule next meeting Celeste asked the group to think about possible dates for the next EEAG Meeting. Also, Idaho Power would be open to any ideas from the group about future discussions. The group wil be discussing the annuàl report that wil be coming out in March and everyone should be getting a copy of that. 3:04 Adjourn Energy Effciency Advisory Group (EEAG) Minutes dated June 11t\ 2009 Present: Catherine Chertdi-eity of Boise, Public Works Dept Lynn Young-AARP Nancy Hirsh-Northwest Energy Coalition Robin Thorngren-Healthwise Tim Tatum*-Idaho Power Don Stuevant -Simplot Matt Elam- Idaho Public Utilities Commission Pete Pengily*-Idaho Power Sue Siefert-Office of Energy Resources Not Present: Dean Stevenson - Idaho Irrgation Pumpers Association Ken Eklund - Offce of Energy Resources Ken Robinette - South Central Community Action Partnership Theresa Gibney - Oregon Public Utilities Commission Tom Eckman - Northwest Power & Conservation Council Guests and Presenters*: Andrea Simmonsen-Idaho Power Celeste Becia*-Idaho Power Dave Thornton-Idaho Power Jim Jauregui-Idaho Power Mike Darrngton-Idaho Power Quentin Nesbitt-Idaho Power Shelley Martin-Idaho Power Todd Schultz-Idaho Power Bilie McWinn-Idaho Power Cory Read-Idaho Power Dennis Merrck-Idaho Power Kathy Yi-Idaho Power Mindi Shodeen-Idaho Power Ron Whitney-Northwest Energy Coalition Theresa Drake-Idaho Power Recording Secretary: Shawn Lovewell-Idaho Power with Mike Darrngton-Idaho Power. Meeting convened at 9:34 am 9:34 Pete welcomes the group. Kathy Yi and Todd Schultz were introduced to the group in their new positions. The minutes were reviewed by the group and no changes were recommended. 9:40 2008 DSM Report-Pete Pengily Copies of the annual report were passed out to the group. The structue of the Annual Report has changed from previous years (see slide). For every program Idaho Power included the previous years along with the current year. An appendix was added to include program history. One of the members asked how the Northwest Energy Effciency Alliance (NEEA) comes up with their preliminary numbers. It was explained that NEEA takes potential savings numbers from the region and subtracts estimated natually occurrng energy savings from our programs. The regional numbers are allocated to Idaho Power as a percentage of energy sales. NEEA made some adjustments to those numbers and allocated the adjusted numbers back to Idaho Power according to its share of regional sales. Idaho Power is working with NEEA and the Council to explore alternative methods for allocating regional energy savings to NEEA members. There was an error on the Demand response peak reduction slide (#9). The number on 2008 should be 58 not 54. One member suggested that Idaho Power sumarize totals within sector as average MW instead of kWh. This same member liked the 'lessons learned' portion of the report. 10:03 Stimulus project with Boise City-Celeste Becia Prior to the presentation, Celeste updated the group that Idaho Power has launched two residential programs: The Home Improvement Program and See Ya Later Refrgerator progrm. One member asked if Idaho Power was partnering with Intermountain Gas on the Home Improvement Program. Celeste stated that Intermountain Gas Company has no energy effciency funding mechanism in place at this time and that their energy efficiency efforts are limited to education. In regards to the stimulus fuding, Idaho Power has partered with the City of Boise to submit a proposal for residential home audits and direct measure install. At this time the City Council has approved the proposal and the next step wil be submitting this proposal to DOE. The City of Boise is requesting $400,000 and has identified Idaho Power as the sub-grantee in their proposaL. The proposal slides were explained. There was discussion among the group on how to identify customers and the age of the homes being audited. Celeste said Idaho Power would explore these ideas and discuss with the City to develop a successful approach to identify paricipants. Durng the presentation of the home visit slide there was a discussion among the group about the different measures that wil be offered. A few suggestions from the group that were given included adding weather strpping and installing low flow shower heads. A question was raised about whether or not Home Pedormance Specialists wil be part of this program. Celeste is counting on them to be part of this and the Office of Energy Resources has been contacted to find out if this would be something they could participate in. 10:33 Break 10:53 Demand Response Summer Preview-Celeste Becia Energy use and peak demand are increasing but peak demand is increasing at a faster rate. The Flex Peak program was discussed. Idaho Power hired a third par aggregator. The customers eligible for this program are large commercial and industriaL. The program management aspects were discussed with the group. The AIC Cool Credit program updates were given. As of the date of the EEAG meeting, the program now has over 28,000 participants. The program has expanded to other areas of the service terrtory. Pocatello has seen about a 5-6% response rate. The program expects to participate in co-marketing with the Food Bank again in the future. Celeste passed around the Seed Paper and marketing brochure that was used in a direct mailing to customers. One of the members asked if Idaho Power has looked at the load shifting of this program. Are customers overcooling their homes prior to a cycling event. Celeste indicated that Idaho Power is doing some end use metering and temperature monitoring this summer, and results should be available at a later date. An importnt part of this program is customer comfort, so Idaho Power tries not to call events more than three days in a row. (Question about the information of highlighted area) The AlC Cool Credit Commercial pilot slide was discussed. Idaho Power is waiting for commission approvaL. The goal is to have 200 customers enrolled. The Field Reps have been out talking to customers. There are stil many variables which is why Idaho Power would like to do this pilot to assess the peak load reduction potential available. The Irrigation Peak Rewards program cycling season wil be starting in a week. Idaho Power wil be reporting back to the group at the fall meeting with the results of these programs. One of the members asked if Idaho Power has a typical model customer in mind for the Commercial Demand Response programs. Celeste stated that Idaho Power is looking at measures that wil be most cost effective for customers that use chunks of energy such as national chain stores, box stores. The third part aggregator that is being used is experienced at finding potential in these types of customers. 11:50 Lunch and rooftop tour ofldaho Power solar PV systems with Scott Gates. 1:18 Meeting Reconvened 1:25 Regulatory Update-Tim Tatum Slides were shown to the group. When the Fixed Cost Adjustment slide was shown, there was a question from the group on how the cost for Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) investment was to be allocated among the customer classes. It was explained that the overall increase of i .83% would apply to all customer classes receiving AMI meters. There was also a request from one of the members to explain the Energy Efficiency piece of AMI. It was explained that these meters can provide a wide variety of customer information which could aid Idaho Power in helping design programs to fit the needs of the customer as well as enabling the company to offer pricing that wil encourage customers to make energy efficient choices. When the Annual Power Cost Update (APCU) slide was shown, one member asked if Idaho Power had seasonal rates. Tim explained that Idaho Power has tiered rates in both sumer and winter, and as early as 2010 we could see time of use pricing for a broader customer base. The Schedule 9 customers are the only ones that do not have tiered rates or time variant pricing. As smart meter installation is completed, time variant pricing wil be pursued through the regulatory process as an option. 2:191st Quarter Financial & Savings Report-Pete Pengily A handout was passed out to the group. In the last couple years Idaho Power has been working on the data reporting and retreval systems. The financial reporting has been by month and quarter and the energy savings were outlined. . One member commented on the first slide that shows Idaho Power's top programs for the first quarer, that if this pace was projected for the year, Idaho Power wil have a baner year once again. Celeste said that the Easy Upgrades progrm has seen a huge increase in lighting projects and that it is the first time that this program has outperformed the Custom Effciency Program. It has been a relatively easy program for customers to participate in. One member commented that it provides a nice model for other utilities for follow. One member had a question in regards to the Total Resource Cost (TRC) and ifIdaho Power looked at cutting anything in relation to the Heating and Cooling Effciency Program. It was explained that Idaho Power has dropped several measures. Some of those measures were due to changes that have been made in regard to the building code. Idaho Power is always evaluating and pursuing cost effective programs. The Heating and Cooling Efficiency progrm is a perfect example of a program that didn't meet expectations of cost effectiveness but has been modified as new information became available. One of the members congratulated Idaho Power for partnering with the Idaho Food Bank in marketing the AlC Cool Credit program. This member also would like to get all of his employees engaged in energy efficiency efforts and offered to pass on information to them from Idaho Power. 2:50 The date and time for the next meeting was discussed. The group agreed that an October meeting time would work for most. An email wil be sent to the members with potential dates and a decision wil be made from the feedback that is received. 2:55 Meeting adjourned. Energy Efficiency Advisory Group (EEAG) Minutes dated October 20th, 2009 Present: Catherine Chertudi-City of Boise, Public Works Dept Ken Robinette-South Central Comm.

Meeting convened at l1:ooam 11:00-Celeste welcomed the group. Guests and new employees were introduced to the group and the minutes from 06/11/09 were reviewed. Before the first presentation was started, one member asked if the EEAG group could have a discussion of the Evaluation, Measurement and Verification (EM&V) at the next scheduled meeting. 11:10 2nd Quarter Financial & Savings Report-Pete Pengily Pete presented the Progress Report slide to the group. So far Idaho Power has reached 96% of its energy saving targets this year. The targets are for the entire year, and reaching them doesn't indicate that energy savings stops. These numbers do not show anything that is in the pipeline, only what has been paid to date. One of the members commended Idaho Power in continuing to show an excellent trend of exceeding targets set. A question was asked that, since targets are exceeded, does it seem that the targets are too conservative, and that maybe some adjustments need to be made. Pete brought out that these targets are for employees and managers and are used as a gauge only. (1) Celeste pointed out that some of the residential program savings are lower due to when the program started, and Holiday Lighting is lower since it doesn't start until mid to end of the year. Pete showed the Appendix 1 slide to the group that displayed the total expenditures for the year up to the 3rd quarter. One of the members asked if the monitoring and evaluation will be included here, and how much of the total expenditures are dedicated to EM&V. Pete explained that EM&V costs are assigned to the applicable program's work orders and that it is an expense of the individual program. Currently, approximately 1 Yi percent of the budget is dedicated to EM&V. The next slide shown was of the Idaho Rider/Oregon Rider/BPA and NEEA funding balances. One member asked if Idaho Power accrues interest on funds it pays out when the rider funding is in deficit. It was brought out that the IPUC has authorized Idaho Power 2% interest. One member stated that it would be helpful to see the cost effectiveness of the programs on this slide and asked if that could be added in the future. Pete mentioned that it is published in Appendix 4 in the DSM Annual Report. Appendix 3 gives the levelized cost for each program, but a levelized cost snapshot could be provided at either the winter or spring meeting. 11:40 Demand Response Summer Results-Pete Pengily Pete informed the group that the numbers presented in the slide are not finaL. These numbers will be finalized in the DSM Annual Report as well as the Irrigation Report. As it turned out, 2009 was a great summer for learning how to use the demand response programs. The Company had significant demand response resources available, but due to relatively mild weather conditions the Company took advantage of the opportunity to develop strategies for initiating demand response events more efficiently. Members inquired whether or not the system peak demand was being shifted and if the Company was experiencing snap-back effects from demand response. It was explained that much depends on the load forecast and the daily weather. The Company can dispatch events in a manner that ramps load reduction up and down to reduce impacts on the system load. Other discussion was based on how the demand response was valued. It was explained that the value of demand response to the Company is not dependent on the market price of electricity, but is valued at the avoided capacity cost of a peaker plant as part of the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process. Another question was asked on the status of commercial air conditioning cycling. Celeste responded that due to the uncertainty of load reduction capability of commercial air conditioners this program was not approved by the IPUC last summer. The Company does offer the FlexPeak Management Program to large commercial customers to participate in a demand response program. 12:10 IRP Energy Efficiency Forecast-Pete Pengily Pete explained that the energy savings forecast that is used for the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is developed from several sources including utility program experience, the 2009 DSM potential study, and other regional studies including the Draft Sixth Power Plan for the Northwest. Some potential new measures from the IRP process were shown to the group. These new measures will be reviewed for inclusion in programs. One member asked if the CFL load reduction is reflected in the load forecast. Pete explained that the expected reduction in energy savings from lighting code changes were included in the energy savings forecast. Pete also provided an Idaho Power website address, www.idahopower.com where some of the Company's studies are available. (2) 12:30-Lunch 1:18 Meeting reconvened 1:20-Proposed Program Changes for 2010-Celeste Becia Celeste presented proposed new measures to the existing programs. It was pointed out that the Home Improvement Program is very cost effective for customers. Idaho Power is looking at the cost effectiveness of adding a heat pump water heater measure to the program. One of the issues with the heat pump water heaters is that they have cold air waste; it could interfere with the heating load of a home. There was some discussion in the group around studies done on the efficiency of these types of water heaters. One member managed a study done of exhaust air heat pumps. It was found that there wasn't much appreciable heating loads on these buildings if they are set up for the heat pump to grab the exhaust air and return it to the heat pump. The Ductless Heat Pump Pilot will continue into 2010. The criteria changed this year for the program. It is no longer a requirement to declare residency in the home after installation. Going forward, forced air furnaces would be disallowed and peripheral gas usage would be allowed. One member asked why customers with forced air furnaces could not participate in the program. Shelley informed the group that it is hard to isolate the actual energy savings when a forced air furnace is present. Customers would still need to run a furnace to keep the rest of the home heated. The Irrigation Programs have a few proposed changes. Quentin Nesbitt explained to the group that currently the Green Motors program pays an incentive to have pump motors re-wound to NEEA standards. If the customer uses a participating shop that is qualified, the customer gets an incentive. As it stands right now, this is not a well known option for irrigation customers. Idaho Power wants to include this in the program material as a way of advertising this option to customers. Regarding the hardware measures in the Irrigation Efficiency Rewards program, the Company is participating in the Regional Technical Forum's review of the 'deemed measures' which might help to identify needs for evaluation. All of the menu items are repair items that are related to leaky systems. It is estimated that more than half of incentives are paid out on the menu program. Quentin handed out a slide to the members on the Peak Rewards Program that was not on the Power Point presentation. He explained to the group that Idaho Power would like to extend the end date from July 31st to August 15th. Idaho Power would also like to change the cycling times from 2-8pm to 1-8pm, and also add Saturday. This would not extend the hour limits, but just give Idaho Power more flexibility within the new time frame. These proposals wil be filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commissions within the next month. One member expressed that this program is well received by the irrigation customers and that the new changes seem appropriate and should not be difficult to add. 2:45 NEEA Contract-Celeste Becia Celeste updated the group from the last EEAG Meeting regarding NEEA and the function they serve and reminded them of the significant jump in contributions Idaho Power is being asked to commit. Currently, Idaho Power is still in negotiations with NEEA for the renewal of the contract with them. One member asked if funding for this would come out of the existing rider balance, and if so would that mean that this would be a reduction in program incentives. Celeste replied that every budgeted item keeps you from doing some other budgeted item. Idaho Power is determining how those savings occur (3) and making sure that all expenditures are prudent. (On October 30th, Celeste sent an email to the EEAG members clarifying her answer. A copy of her email is attached.) Idaho Power would like to have more accountabilty from NEEA and have the energy savings more 10cal.One member continues to struggle with the increase in contributions and everything that NEEA does. He asked that during the next meeting if Idaho Power would explain their function so that he would be more informed before he votes in favor of increasing the contribution amounts. 2:49 DSM Incentive Workshop-Tim Tatum Tim informed the members that the Idaho Offce of Energy Resources and Idaho Power had convened a series of workshops. The purpose of the workshops is to explore performance-based DSM incentive mechanisms that would make sense for Idaho Power. There are a several approaches from other utilties that are being reviewed including capitalization of energy efficiency investment, shared savings, and fixed percentage of targets. It is expected that the workshops will be completed by the end of 2009, or early 2010. 3:00 Meeting adjourned (4) From: Becia, Celeste sent: Friday, October 30,20093:18 PM To: 'Catherine Chertudi'; 'Don Sturtevant'; Jim Coles ücoles(Qdesignwestid.com); 'Ken Eklund'; 'Ken Robinette'; 'Lynn Anderson'; 'Lynn Young'; 'Nancy Hirsh'; Theresa Gibney; 'Tom Eckman'; Youngblood, Mike; Brady Peeks (R.BRADY.PeeksCWstte.or.us); Sid Erwin (erwinjICWhughes.net) Cc: Drake, Theresa; Pengily, Pete; Tatum, Tim Subjec: EEAG meeting notes clarification Hello all; After reviewing notes from the recent EEAG meeting, I wanted to clarify my response to Nancy Hirsch's question regarding the impact of increased NEEA funding on the Rider funding mechanism, and the Rider's ability to meet program needs. As i said at the time, NEEA funding does come from the Rider, and there are many program demands on this funding source. However, the Rider funding level does not drive the Company's decisions regarding the level of energy efficiency program activity it pursues. Idaho Power is committed to pursuing all cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities and will endeavor to secure a level of funding that is adequate to support that goal. This philosophy is ilustrated by the almost $10 millon deficit in the Rider at this time, and our continual commitment to new programs and measures as presented during our meeting. I hope this clears up any misconceptions that may have occurred. Have a good weekend, Celeste (5) Su p p l e m e n t 2 : E v a l u a t i o n Id a h o P o w e r C o m p a n y EA M A R K E T E V A L U A T I O N Ta b l e 1 .

Executive Summary The Idaho Power Company (IPC) contracted with Quantec, LLC, to conduct a study of the potential savings and costs associated with enacting appliance energy-efficiency standards in Idaho similar to those recently enacted in Oregon. IPC's Request for Proposals (RFP) specifically stated: "This Evaluation should provide information regarding the costs and potential for energy savings that would occur if the appliance standards enacted by the State of Oregon were applicable in the State of Idaho. Additionally, the Evaluation should provide information for opportnities to promote new or additional appliance standards in Idaho." To determine the potential savings and costs, Quantec first reviewed the two most recent Oregon appliance standards, House Bil 3363 passed in 2005 and Senate Bil 375 passed in 2007, and supplemented that research with a review of the most recent federal appliance standards and other standards programs around the countr. Based on this review, a subset of appliance standards was identified as meriting further investigation for consideration in Idaho based on the following general criteria: · Potential energy and/or demand savings · Lack of impending federal legislation · Prevention of low-efficiency appliances, that state standards would prohibit in neighboring states, from being sent to Idaho The ten appliances selected for analysis and detailed in this report are provided in Table ES 1. The case of residential fuace fans is unique because neighboring states do not have a standard for this product, but it is worth examination for several reasons discussed in detail in the report. Table ESt. Potential Appliance Standards Appliance Sector Oregon Neighboring States Enacted Effective WA CA Metal halide lamps/fixtures C 2005 2008 Enacted Enacted Incandescent reflector lamps C 2005 2007 Enacted Enacted Extemal power supplies C/R 2005 2007 Enacted Enacted Bottle-type water dispensers C 2007 2009 Enacted Hot food holding cabinets C 2007 2009 Enacted Walk-in refrigerators and freezers C 2007 2009 Enacted Compact audio products (CD players)R 2007 2009 Enacted DVD players and recorders R 2007 2009 Enacted Portable electric spas/hot tubs R 2007 2009 Enacted Residential furnace fans R Note: C indicates commercial sector; R indicates residential sector. Once identified, research was conducted on each appliance to estimate the stock or sales of affected appliances in Idaho, the natural occurrng market penetrtion of energy-effcient models, Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 3 the incremental cost of the more efficient appliances, and the annual energy and demand savings associated with enacting an appliance standard. This information was then synthesized and applied to data provided by IPC to determine the impact of each appliance standard upon the utility. Tables containing this information for each appliance are provided throughout the report and collectively in the report's technical appendix. Table ES2 summarizes the potential energy and demand savings for each appliance. As evident in the table, residential furnace fans represent the greatest opportnity to generate savings. The information provided in ES2 is aggregated by sector in Table ES3. Table ES2.

Figures ES 1 and ES2, respectively, provide energy and demand estimates through 2020 reflecting: · Effective useful lives to account for replacement of existing appliance stocks · Utility system energy and demand losses · Anticipated customer growth (based on approximately 1.7% annual growth). Note that both figures show the results with and without a furnace fan standard.

In addition, specific alternatives should be investigated for the possibility of increasing the effciency of furnace fans. Idaho should also examine the options and monitor progress in setting standards for general service incandescents and metal halide fixtures. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 5 To support the development of efficiency standards, IPC and other entities in Idaho should identify priorities for conducting research and developing the data needed for such efforts. Expanding current collaborations and developing additional ones would minimize the resources required and would leverage existing resources. At the state level, Idaho could invest in the capability required to research and adopt standards for the appliances analyzed here. In addition, the State of Idaho could investigate the option of developing a regulatory framework, similar to California's, that would recognize utilities' efforts dedicated to efficiency standards in a way similar to how utility energy-efficiency acquisition programs are treated.

Purpose and Methodology Purpose and Context The Idaho Power Company (IPC) contracted with Quantec, LLC, to conduct a study of the potential savings and costs associated with enacting appliance energy-effciency standards in Idaho similar to those recently enacted in Oregon. IPC' s Request for Proposals (RFP) specifically stated: "This Evaluation should provide information regarding the costs and potential for energy savings that would occur if the appliance standards enacted by the State of Oregon were applicable in the State of Idaho. Additionally, the Evaluation should provide information for opportnities to promote new or additional appliance standards in Idaho." IPC staff provided more context information and details about the research purpose during the project initiation meeting in August 2007. IPC implements several energy-efficiency programs for its customers and prepares an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) every two years. Through these processes and interactions with its advisory groups, interested parties, and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC), IPC decided to initiate a study of the effects if Idaho adopted appliance efficiency standards. Energy-effciency standards, both for appliances and buildings, have the potential to save significant amounts of energy by eliminating ineffcient products and buildings in the market. In addition, the costs of programs to implement standards can be relatively low compared to the costs of achieving the same energy savings through energy- effciency acquisition programs. Oregon's appliance standards are especially relevant because they apply in a state adjoining Idaho. In fact, since IPC serves several cities in Oregon, some of its customers already benefit from Oregon's appliance standards. Furthermore, the three West Coast states have adopted similar appliance standards so adoption in Idaho would expand the region covered by consistent standards. Another potential benefit to Idaho's residents is that there is the possibility that manufacturers or distrbutors would shift their no longer legal, less-efficient products to Idaho when the Oregon standards go into effect. This report presents the results of the analyses of the costs and potential energy and demand savings if Idaho adopted the Oregon appliance efficiency standards. IPC clarified during the project initiation meeting that the study should focus on statewide cost and energy impacts and that the cost impacts of primary interest were incremental consumer costs for more efficient appliances. The remainder of this chapter describes the methodology Quantec applied. Methodology To determine the potential savings and costs, Quantec first reviewed the two most recent Oregon appliance standards, House Bil 3363 passed in 2005 and Senate Bil 375 passed in 2007, and supplemented that research with a review of the most recent federal appliance standards and Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 7 other standards programs around the countr. Based on this review, a subset of appliance standards was identified as meriting further investigation for implementation in Idaho based on the following general criteria: · Potential energy and/or demand savings . Lack of impending federal legislation · Prevention of low-efficiency appliances prohibited in neighboring states with standards being sent to Idaho by appliance distrbutors Once identified, additional research was conducted on the appliances to estimate the stock or sales of affected appliances in Idaho, the natual occurng market penetration of energy-efficient models, the incremental cost borne by the consumer for more efficient appliances, and the annual energy and demand savings associated with enacting an appliance standard. This information was then synthesized and applied to data provided by IPC to determine the impact of each appliance standard upon the utility. Formally, this process consisted of a series of research tasks. These are described below. Work Plan Quantec prepared a memorandum detailng discussions from the project initiation meeting and finalized the agreed upon work plan, which was provided to IPC on September 19,2007. The overall research approach documented in the work plan is represented graphically in Figure 1. Quantec also developed information requests for IPC that were needed to conduct the study. Review and Selection of Standards for Consideration As noted above, Quantec carefully reviewed the 2005 and 2007 Oregon appliance standards legislation, as well as commenta regarding the legislation written by organizations such as the Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP), the American Council for an Energy Effcient Economy (ACEEE), and OSPIRG (Oregon's member of the federation of Public Interest Research Groups), a significant player in the development and advocacy of the 2005 standards. Quantec also investigated whether California and Washington had enacted legislation regarding any of the appliances covered by Oregon law. Lastly, interviews were conducted with appliance standards experts in several states. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 8 Figure 1. Overview of Research Approach To maximize the usefulness of this study, several factors were considered in this analysis and the determination of which Oregon standards to explore as part of this study; and whether standards from other states should be addressed. These factors included: · Type of adoption process that might be used in Idaho (administrative, legislative, or a combination) and the time required to implement it · The status of standards at the federal level and in states other than Oregon · Time between enactment of standards and the effective dates of the standards · Availability of current market data (sales by model or class, incremental costs, trends, etc.) · Opportnities to parter with other entities or jurisdictions · Political climate for standards enactment . Potential allies in the process In assessing the standards options, states are preempted from adopting standards for appliances for which federal standards already exist. Since Oregon had adopted several standards prior to when the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted federal standards, Oregon was not preempted by subsequent federal action. Preemption applies to standards that DOE has adopted, even though their effective date is in the future, so states that have not adopted standards already are restrcted from adopting their own standards if a DOE standard has been adopted but is not scheduled to go into effect until a future date. 1 i Personal communication from Andrew deLaski to Charlie Stephens, November 13, 2007. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 9 Based on a review of documentation available, the status of candidate standards was summarized. Table 1 lists all the 2005 and 2007 appliance standards enacted in Oregon and other standards that Quantec reviewed for possible adoption in Idaho. For each standard, the table shows the sector in which it applies, its status in Washington and California, and its status relative to federal standards. Based on the criteria described above, the following 2005 Oregon standards were selected for consideration: . Metal halide lamps/fixtues · State-regulated incandescent reflector lamps · Single, low-voltage external power supplies Two of these standards are already in effect in Oregon (reflector lamps and external power supplies), while the remaining one (metal halide lamps/fixture) becomes effective in 2008. Oregon enacted two additional appliance standards (commercial refrigerators-freezers and ice makers) that have since been included in the 2005 federal standards. Even though they are not effective until 2010, states that do not have existing standads for them (such as Idaho) are preempted from enacting new standards. An external power supplies standard was included in the 2005 Energy Policy Act, but DOE has not acted to set a standard yet so it was included for consideration. The remaining products for which standards were adopted by Oregon in 2005 were excluded because they already are or wil soon be covered by federal standards. From Oregon's 2007 standards there are an additional six products that were selected for fuher study: . Bottle-type water dispensers · Commercial hot food holding cabinets · Walk-in refrgerators and walk-in freezers . Compact audio products · Digital versatile disc (DVD) players and digital versatile disc recorders . Portable electrc spas/hot tubs Quantec reviewed one additional item, residential furnace fans, that is not covered by current Oregon appliance standards. The status of furnace fans is unique for several reasons, as discussed later, and they merit further examination because of their potential energy savings. The California standards for pool pumps and general service incandescent light bulbs were not included for further consideration in this initial analysis. The reasons are presented later in the report.

Specifically, information was gathered for each appliance regarding the following: · Market Saturation: the quantity of each appliance currently installed in Idaho buildings. · Energy-effcient Product Penetration: the percent of the existing appliance stock that is high-efficiency models that would already meet the Oregon standard. · Effective Useful Life: the average operating lifetime of the appliance; this is critical for assessing both the savings and estimating the time required to completely replace the existing appliance stock. · Consumer Incremental Cost: the difference between the price paid by a customer for a model meeting the Oregon standard and the price currently paid for a comparable product not meeting the standard. · Energy and Demand Savings: the per-unit annual energy and demand savings from using an appliance model meeting the adopted standard. To obtain the data listed above, Quantec researched a wide variety of resources ranging from residential and commercial appliance saturation studies by Pacific Northwest utilities to sales data for specific products available through the National Electrcal Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Since very few data were available specifically for Idaho, most of the data utilized in this study relate to other states or utilities and was scaled to account for differences between regions. Among the resources utilized in this study were: · Northwest Energy Effciency Alliance Assessment of the Commercial Building Stock in the Northwest: provided a characterized summary of commercial building stock in the Pacific Northwest with updated market penetrations of energy-efficient technologies and practices. · Northwest Energy Effciency Alliance Residential New Construction Characteristics and Practices Study: a report that characterized single-family residential new construction to develop a representative sample of high-effciency technology saturation and common energy consumption for homes in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. · California Codes and Standards Enhancement Initiative (CASE): provided technical and economic data on several appliance standards. The CASE studies were developed by California utilities in support of upgrades to California's Title 20 appliance standards and submitted to the California Energy Commission. · Appliance Standards Awareness Program 2006 Model Bill: ASAP creates model bils for states to utilize when considering appliance standard legislation. The appliances included in the bil are tailored based on climate zones and local appliance saturations. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 12 Energy and Demand Savings Analysis Once data were collected and aggregated, realistic estimates of the likely aggregate energy and demand savings were calculated for each appliance standard. Quantec used these data to estimate the overall effects of the standards on energy usage in Idaho and effects on the electrcal system. Specifically, demand impacts were estimated by applying measure coincidence factors derived from end-use load shapes from the Northwest Power and Conservation Council for the climate zone including Idaho. The fraction of the annual total demand occurrng at the peak hour was multiplied by the annual energy (kWh) to find the anual peak hour demand impact (kW). Since the end-use load-shapes were normalized, there should be reasonably good agreement between these end-use load-shapes and those that apply statewide and in IPC's Idaho service area. IPC's overall system load information was utilized to determine the system's summer peak. Implementation Costs and Process One ofIPC's research objectives was to estimate the incremental consumer costs of appliances/ equipment meeting the requirements of the standards investigated. As a result, Quantec culled this information from various sources during its data collection process. Quantec also proposed, and IPC agreed, that it would be useful to compile basic qualitative information about the level and tye of effort required to conduct an appliance standards development program. This information is meant to provide IPC with a general sense of the costs of undertaking such a program and the steps required, but not detailed estimates for specific program costs. Developing this information further would require research beyond the scope of this study. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 13 3. Appliance Assessments This chapter describes each of the appliance standards determined, using the criteria described earlier, to merit further examination for possible adoption in Idaho. The discussion summarizes the information gathered and details the reasons for and/or against adopting a standard. As noted in Chapter 2, limited data were available regarding some of the specific saturations and/or penetration of energy-efficient models in Idaho. Some data date back to 2004 and 2005 and may need to be updated to obtain more accurate estimates of impacts, if needed. The data detailed in this section - collected from utilities and states throughout the Pacific Northwest and West Coast - have been augmented to reflect specific conditions for Idaho wherever possible. However, it is important to note that the estimates provided relied largely on secondary sources extrapolated to Idaho so they should be considered to be only approximations that could be refined with more accurate Idaho-specific data. As noted earlier, ASAP, located in Boston, Massachusetts, produces an anual "model standards bil" for states to use in setting consistent standards. Supporting product and market data accompany the bil, and the data are available on a state-by-state basis, with adjustments made for climate, operating hours, and energy prices. The 2008 model bil wil be available in the first quarter of 2008 and this could be a valuable source of more curent information for Idaho when it becomes available. Recommendations regarding such futue research are offered in the final chapter of this report. To improve clarity and streamline the report, a list of all references used in this section is provided in Table 2 and not appended to each individual table. Table 2.

Idaho 3 Idaho Power specifc coincident factor applied to per unit energy savings value 4 Conversation with appliance coe expert (details provided when applicable) 5 ASAP & ACEEE Report Number ASAP-6/ACEEE-A062, March 2006 Oregon Appliance Standards This section outlines current Oregon appliance standards and details the energy-effciency criteria, estimated savings,. and incremental cost for each appliance measure analyzed for this report. The 2005 standards discussed here (metal halide fixtues, incandescent reflector lamps, and single voltage external power supplies) were enacted as House Bil 3363. It created Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 469.229 through 469.261, where Oregon's legislated standards reside. In 2007, the statutes were revised by HB 2565, which made some adjustments to the 2005 statutes, and by SB 375 to include new appliance standards (bottled water dispensers, commercial hot food-holding cabinets, compact audio equipment, DVD players, portable electrc spas, and walk-in refrgerators and freezers). The 2007 adjustments to appliances covered by HB Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 14 3363 are noted in the appropriate sections below (incandescent reflector lamps and single- voltage power supplies). Oregon's standards statutes define both a "sales" effective date and an "installation for compensation" effective date. The latter allows users to install products that do not meet the standards for some period-tyically one year-after the date when they can no longer be sold. All of the effective dates listed below are the "sales" dates, i.e., the date beyond which only complying units can be sold legally. Unless noted otherwise, all "installation" effective dates can be assumed to be one year later. Automatic Commercial Ice Makers and Commercial Refrigerator-Freezers As noted earlier, Oregon has adopted standards for commercial ice makers and refrgerators- freezers, but federal standards preempt Idaho from adopting similar standards, even though the federal standards do not go into effect until 2010. These appliances are only briefly discussed here. As defined by HB 3363, an automatic commercial ice maker is a: " . . . factory-made assembly, not necessarily shipped in one package, consisting of a condensing unit and ice-making section operating as an integrated unit with means for making and harvesting ice cubes, and any integrated components for storing or dispensing ice." As defined by ORS 469.229, a commercial refrgerator-freezer is: " . . . smaller than 85 cubic feet of internal volume and designed for use by commercial or institutional facilities for the purpose of storing or merchandising food products, beverages or ice at specified temperatures, other than products without doors, walk-in refrgerators or freezers, consumer products that are federally regulated pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6291 et seq. or freezers specifically designed for ice cream. (a) Must incorporate most components involved in the vapor-compression cycle and the refrigerated compartent in a single cabinet; and (b) May be configured with either solid or transparent doors as a reach-in cabinet, pass-through cabinet, roll-in cabinet or roll-through cabinet." There is the potential risk retailers will sell low-efficiency models in Idaho that are ilegal in neighboring states, and this is a concern for at least two reasons. First, savings for both are likely to be highest during on-peak summer periods when temperatures are hottest, thus coinciding with IPC's cooling load peaks. Second, the favorable ratio of annual energy savings to consumer incremental cost provides for a relatively short payback period. Based on the analyses conducted, the higher efficiency ice makers each save about 445 kWhyear, commercial refrigerators save 826 kWhyear, and commercial freezers save 669 kWhyear. Over the lives of these appliances, the savings foregone by installng tyical units instead of ones meeting the Oregon standards would total about 7.4 GWh. The State of Idaho and ¡PC may want to consider taking steps to minimize the possibility that less effcient units are sent to the state until the federal standard goes into effect. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 15 Metal Halide Fixtures The standard for metal halide fixtures, which use a type of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp, was enacted by Oregon in 2005 and effective on January 1,2008. ORS 469.229 defines a metal halide fixture and its components as follows: "'High-intensity discharge lamp' means a lamp in which light is produced by the passage of an electrc current through a vapor or gas, and in which the light-producing arc is stabilized by bulb wall temperatue and the arc tube has a bulb wall loading in excess of three watts per square centimeter." '''Probe-start metal halide lamp ballast' means a ballast used to operate metal halide lamps that does not contain an igniter and that instead stars metal halide lamps by using a third starting electrode probe in the arc tube." "Metal halide lamp fixtures designed to be operated with lamps rated greater than or equal to 150 watts but less than or equal to 500 watts may not contain a probe-star metal halide lamp ballast." This commercial measure is tyically utilized in outdoor lighting, including parking lots and walkways, and large warehouse style buildings. Metal halide lamps are available in probe-start or pulse-start technology. The pulse-start lamps and ballasts are more energy-efficient, providing a higher lumen to watt ratio, better lumen maintenance, longer lamp life, shorter re-strike and warm-up times, and better color rendering. Energy savings potential related to metal halide lamps is a result of reduced wattage lamps that offer light output greater than or equal to that of similar higher wattage probe-start ballast HID lamps. There is currently no pending federal standards process for metal halide luminaire fixtures. Further, it does not appear that any federal legislation or standards wil be issued in the foreseeable future. As a result, individual states are left to enact effciency standards for these products. Pulse-start ballasts and lamp combinations are already making inroads into this market. Electronically ballasted luminaires are the next step up in effciency, but they are not nearly as prevalent in the market yet. At some point not too far in the future, it wil probably make sense for states to upgrade this standard to require electronic ballasts, for an additional 15% savings over the pulse-start products. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of metal halide fixtures is provided in Table 3. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 16 Table 3. Data Summary: Metal Halide Fixtures Current Energy Population Annual Energy Peak Demand Consumer Effective Total Appliance Effciency Subject to Savings (kWh Per Savings Incremental Useful Life Population1 Penetration1,2 Upgrade Unitlear) 1,2 (kW/unit)3 Cost2 (Years) 1,2 168,366 21%132,588 307 0.07 $30.00 20 Incandescent Reflector Lamps The reflector lamp standard was enacted as part of Oregon HB 3363 in the 2005 session, with an effective date of January 1,2007. It was enacted in Washington State at the same time. At the time of passage in Oregon and Washington, similar standards were being deliberated in other states. Ultimately, industry lobbyists convinced these other states to exempt more categories of lamps (Oregon and Washington had exempted only 50-watt ER lamps). So in order to make this standard consistent with that enacted by other states (such as California), Oregon modified its standard as part ofHB 2565 in the 2007 session. The change involved exempting the following additional lamps: · Lamps rated at 50 watts or less of the following tyes: BR 30, ER 30, BR 40, and ER 40 · Lamps rated at 65 watts of the following tyes: BR 40 and ER 40 · R 20 lamps of 45 watts or less These changes essentially exempted the most common types of BR and ER lamps from the standard, and dramatically lowered the energy savings expected from this measure. The new rules associated with the standard also changed the effective date to January 1,2008, for products manufactured after July 1, 2007. The definition of this product in ORS 469.229 is as follows: "'State-regulated incandescent reflector lamp' means a lamp that is not colored or designed for rough or vibrating service applications, that has an inner reflective coating on the outer bulb to direct the light, that has an E26 medium screw base, that has a rated voltage or voltage range that lies at least partially within 115 to 130 volts and that falls into one of the following categories: ( a) A bulged reflector or elliptical reflector bulb shape that has a diameter that equals or exceeds 2.25 inches; or (b) A reflector, parabolic aluminized reflector or similar bulb shape that has a diameter of2.25 to 2.75 inches." The standard specifies reflector lamp minimum average lamp effciency (lumens per watt) dependent upon lamp wattage. This residential and commercial measure is typically found in recessed downlight fixtures and applications where the direction of light is important. About half the market for this type of application consists of federally regulated "R lamps," reflector lamps that are designed to direct light output at angles less than 180 degrees. Each lamp has a metallic or aluminized reflector applied either directly to the bulb or to the glass lens to reflect the light outward. The standard delivers a small amount of energy savings at very little cost for the Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 17 incandescent lamps traditionally used in recessed downlight fixtures. Much larger energy savings in such fixtures come from the use of new low wattage ceramic metal halide or compact fluorescent lamps and their associated ballasts, but these savings also come at a much larger cost. While the energy savings have been substatially reduced by the 2007 changes, enacting this standard would align the Idaho market with that in the surrounding states and, more importantly, set the stage for a more stringent standard in the near future. Such a measure is likely to be part ofa multi-state package of measures promoted by ASAP not long from now. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of state-regulated incandescent reflector lamps is provided in Table 4. Table 4. Data Summary: Incandescent Reflector Lamps Current Energy Population Annual Energy Peak Demand Consumer Effective Total Appliance Efficiency Subject to Savings (kWh Per Savings Incremental Useful Life Population1 Penetration1 Upgrade Unit/earp (kW/unit)3 Cost1,2 (Years)l 385,000 60%154,000 61 0.01 $1.80 5 External Power Supplies The single-voltage external power supply standard was enacted by Oregon in 2005 as part of HB 3363, with an effective date of July 1, 2007. It was enacted in Washington State at the same time. At the time of passage in Oregon and Washington, similar standards were being deliberated in other states, with California as the lead state. California ended up enacting slightly different standards for different product categories, with different effective dates. To make its standards consistent with those enacted by California, Oregon modified this section of the earlier bil as part of HB 2565 in the 2007 session. The changes adjusted the power output categories and minimum effciencies slightly and, more importantly, delayed the effective date to January 1,2008, for products manufactured after July 1,2007. In Section 1 of HB 2565, the definition of a single-voltage external power supply is wrtten to exclude "power supplies that are classified as devices for human use under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.c. 360c)." This change is shown below. Section 8 ofHB 2565 also exempts single voltage AC to DC power supplies that are made available by a manufacturer directly to a consumer or to a service or repair facility, as a service part or spare part, after and separate from the original sale of the product requiring the power supply unless they are made available five or more years from the effective date of the act. As defined in ORS 469.229, a single-voltage external power supply is defined as follows: "(15)(a) 'Single-voltage external AC to DC power supply' means a device, other than a product with batteries or battery packs that physically attach directly to the power supply unit, a product with a battery chemistry or tye selector switch and indicator light or a product with a battery chemistry or type selector switch and a state of charge meter, that: Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 18 (A) Is designed to convert line voltage alternating curent input into lower voltage direct current output; (B) Is able to convert to only one direct current output voltage at a time; (C) Is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end-use product that constitutes the primary power load; (D) Is contained within a separate physical enclosure from the end-use product; (E) Is connected to the end-use product via a removable or hard-wired male or female electrcal connection, cable, cord or other wiring; and (F) Has a nameplate output power less than or equal to 250 watts. (b) Single-voltage external AC to DC power supply does not include power supplies that are classified as devices for human use under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act 21 U.S.c. 360c." The ORS 469.233 standard specifies both the allowable maximum energy consumption without a load and minimum energy-effciency required in active mode. It targets both the residential and commercial sectors. External power supplies are used for various tyes of electronic devices to convert line voltage alternating current, ranging from 100 to 240 volts AC, into a low voltage direct current, ranging from 1 to 24 volts. There are two common types of power supply technologies - linear and switching. Both use a transformer, but the linear power supplies are much like magnetic ballasts - relatively bulky and ineffcient; switching power supplies are compact and more efficient. Energy savings for individual external power supplies are small, but the incremental cost is negligible and the numbers of units in service is very, very large and growing so aggregate energy savings are significant. A summary of the information for single-voltage external power supplies is provided in Table 5. Table 5.

ORS 469.229 defines a commercial water cooler as follows: "'Water dispenser' means a factory-made assembly that mechanically cools and heats potable water and dispenses the cooled or heated water by integral or remote means." The effciency standard specifies that water coolers have a standby energy consumption no greater than 1.2 kWh per day. This partcular standard was derived from the requirements of the u.S. EPA Energy Star Program, which is also the source of the test method for determining compliance with the standard. Water dispensers can provide cold Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 19 water only, or both hot and cold water. Each unit consists of a storage tank or tanks, insulation, heating element, and refrgeration components. The majority of the energy savings potential related to water coolers is the result of upgraded, high-effciency refrgeration components, and improved insulation of the tanks. Some units have little or no insulation separating the hot and cold water storage tanks. These products were virtally non-existent 15 years ago, but have become ubiquitous with the rapidly growing consumption of bottled water in the u.s. The per-unit cost of the efficiency upgrades to meet the standard is quite small, and due to the large and growing number of units in service, the aggregate savings are relatively large. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of water dispensers is provided in Table 6. Table 6.

A commercial hot food holding cabinet is defined by ORS 469.229 as follows: '''Commercial hot food holding cabinet' means an appliance that is a heated, fully enclosed compartent with one or more solid doors and is designed to maintain the temperature of hot food that has been cooked in a separate appliance. 'Commercial hot food holding cabinet' does not include heated glass merchandising cabinets, drawer warmers or cook-and-hold appliances." The standard specifies that commercial hot food holding cabinets not exceed a maximum idle energy demand of 40 watts per cubic foot of interior volume. These products are typically used in the commercial food service industr (hotels, schools, restaurants, business cafeterias, grocery store delis, etc.). Most units are vertical cabinets. The major energy saving measure required by this standard is insulation or additional insulation. When compared to an uninsulated holding cabinet, additional insulation reduces heat radiation into the kitchen (furter reducing the cooling load), reduces temperature stratification in the cabinet and susceptibility to ambient air, and enables faster preheat times. This additional insulation allows each unit to operate using a lower input wattage. The energy savings for this standard are impressive and the equipment required to meet the standard is already widely available at a modest increase in cost. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of commercial hot food holding cabinets is provided in Table 7. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 20 Table 7.

The effective date for the door, insulation, and refrgeration component requirements is January 1, 2009. The effective date for the interior lighting requirement is January 1,2010. By ORS 469.229 a commercial walk- in refrgerator-freezer is defined as follows: '''Walk-in refrigerator' and 'walk-in freezer' mean a space refrigerated to temperatures, respectively, at or above and below 32° F that can be walked into." The ORS 469.233 standards consist ofa half-dozen specific design requirements such as automatic door closers; wall, floor and ceiling insulation levels; and motor types. Typical walk- ins are either low or medium temperature refrigeration units, but can also include both. Found in commercial food operations (hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, schools, cafeterias, etc), these units contain basic refrgeration components, including: compressors, evaporators, condensers, heat exchangers, and refrgeration controls. High effciency walk-ins tyically save energy using all or a combination of the following measures: automatic door closers, strp curtains, high effciency motors and fans, automated controls, additional insulation, and hot gas defrost. The per-unit savings for these systems are relatively large at modest cost, and there are many such installations in a wide range of sizes in the commercial food service and sales sector. The measure is equally appropriate in new building applications and in store or building remodel situations. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of walk-in refrgerators and freezers is provided in Table 8. Table 8.

By the language in ORS 469.229, compact audio products are defined as follows: '''Compact audio product,' also known as a mini, mid, micro or shelf audio system, means an integrated audio system encased in a single housing that includes an amplifier and radio tuner and attached or separable speakers that can reproduce audio from one or more of the following media: (A) Magnetic tape; (B) Compact disc; (C) DVD; or (D) Flash memory. (b) 'Compact audio product' does not include products that can be independently powered by internal batteries, have a powered external satellte antenna or can provide a video output signaL." The ORS 469.233 standard for these products is a limit on standby power consumption, with separate requirements for systems with and without permanently iluminated clocks. Units with permanently iluminated clock displays can use a maximum of four watts in standby. Those without permanent clock displays must meet a standby allowance of no more than two watts. Some examples of these products would be: stereo receivers, CD players, cassette decks, amplifiers and tuners, and packages containing all or a number of these components. These systems are among the many electronic devices that continue to use power even though their main functions may be turned "off" (often referred to as "phantom loads"). Compact audio products can save energy by using more effcient electronics and power supplies, or by entering a low power state when turned to standby mode. The per-unit power draw savings of these products seem small, but because there are so many of them, and because the standby power use occurs over so many hours per year (whenever the product is not in active use), the aggregate savings are quite large. The incremental cost of the measures required to meet the standard is minimal; most often the change is a transformer upgrade that costs less than a dollar. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of compact audio products is provided in Table 9. Quantec ~ Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 22 Table 9.

ORS 469.229 defines DVD players as follows: '''Digital versatile disc player' or 'digital versatile disc recorder' means a commercially available electronic product encased in a single housing that includes an integral power supply and for which the sole purpose is, respectively, the decoding and the production or recording of digitized video signal on a DVD. (b) 'Digital versatile disc recorder' does not include models that have an electronic programming guide function that provides an interactive, on- screen menu of television listings and downloads program information from the vertical blankng interval of a regular television signaL." As in the case of compact audio equipment, the DVD player standard places a limit on standby power consumption-no more than three watts when in passive standby mode. Once again, these ubiquitous devices are among the many phantom loads common to most households. The measures required to meet the standard are essentially the same as those listed for compact audio products, with the cheapest, easiest, and most likely one a transformer upgrade at a cost less than a dollar. As in the case of compact audio products, a small amount of savings acquired very inexpensively over a very large number of units in the market makes a standard for this product important.

ORS 469.229 defines portable hot tubs and spas as follows: "'Portable electric spa' means a factory-built electrc spa or hot tub supplied with equipment for heating and circulating water." Portable hot tubs are pre-fabricated, movable units, as opposed to "in-ground" units. The standard covers only electrcally heated models using resistant heating coils. The standard limits standby energy consumption using a formula based on the volume of the tub. A typical unit ranges from 200 to 400 gallons, though some are manufactured larger. The basic components are an insulated shell and cover and fitration pumping system. These are also the major elements that affect the overall efficiency of the spa. Improved insulation in the shell and cover, a high efficiency pump and heating system, automated controls, and low wattage LED lights are the main ways to reduce energy consumption for portable hot tubs and spas. There is a wide range of energy consumption among different models, and a similarly wide range of energy savings and costs associated with this product. The potential savings per unit are quite large (up to 1,000 kWh per year). The costs associated with these savings can be small or large, depending on the tye of system and the measures chosen. These products have grown steadily in popularity over the last 20 years or so, and thus represent a sizeable target for significant savings. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of portable hot tubs and spas is provided in Table 11. Table i 1.

Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 24 Residential Furnace Fans The electrical use of natural gas- and oil-fired furnaces is not currently regulated by a federal standard, even though residential furnaces are "covered products" by federal law. The majority of the electrical use of a furnace is for the air handler fan. The motor most commonly used historically is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor. Its effciency drops off significantly when not operating at its full rated rpm. Unfortately, residential air handlers almost never operate at their full rated rpm in the heating mode. There is a logical and cost-effective effciency upgrade available for furnace fans. In basic terms, it involves simply using a more efficient motor for the fan - an electronically controlled permanent magnet DC motor. These can be specified outright, or one can use a metrc developed under the auspices of the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) and the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association (GAMA). It specifies that no more than 2% of the total annual energy use ofthe furnace (natual gas plus electricity) can be that used by the furnace fan. The annual savings from this upgrade, not counting cooling season savings, are impressive - often over 500 kWh per year. In setting its new furnace standard, u.s. DOE examined this measure but declined to set an electrcal effciency requirement for furnaces. At the earliest, DOE would begin a rulemaking in 2012, but as of 2006 DOE's position was that establishing a standard was optional so a federal standard might not be developed even then. It is not clear at this point whether or not states are legally able to set a furnace fan efficiency standard without a federal exemption from preemption, however Massachusetts has one in effect already. As described later in this report, Oregon has chosen to sidestep that issue by using its residential building energy code as the method of acquiring these savings. A summary of the information collected for the analysis of residential furnace fans is provided in Table 12. Table 12.

For example, California has enacted a state standard for pool pumps due to a significant market saturation. Based on this initial assessment, however, Idaho's market saturation and annual operating hours are much lower so such a standard may not be cost-effective there. Nevertheless, there are likely to be additional standards adopted in states other than Oregon that might be worth considering in the future. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 25 4. Energy and Demand Savings and Incremental Costs In this chapter, Quantec aggregates the energy and demand savings and incremental customer costs across the assessed measures to provide a statewide perspective of the impacts of adopting the discussed portfolio of appliance standards. Energy and Demand Savings Potential Table 13 provides the total estimated utility energy and demand savings based on replacing the current stock of appliances in Idaho with ones meeting the standards discussed in Chapter 3. The savings shown in the table are in addition to the estimated savings from units sold in the market that are already meeting the standard (current energy-efficiency penetration shown in tables in Chapter 3). It is important to note that the standard that would have the single largest impact is one for furnace fans. As noted earlier, however, the ability of states to set a standard for furnace fans is uncertain at this time, though one state has established one and Oregon is achieving similar savings by way of its building energy-efficiency standard.

The cumulative impacts of adopting the standards discussed in Chapter 3 were estimated, including standards for furnace fans, taking these additional factors into account. The estimated energy and demand savings are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively. The estimates reflect effective useful lives to account for replacement of existing appliance stocks; the impending adoption of federal standards for commercial ice makers and commercial refrgerators-freezers; utility system energy and demand losses; and anticipated customer growth (based on approximately 1.7% annual growth). Both figures show the results with and without a furnace fan standard. Figure 2.

Both figues demonstrate the large impact that a furnace fan standard would have; by 2020, nearly half the energy and demand savings would be due to this standard if implemented. The estimated cumulative incremental costs to consumers for purchasing appliances meeting these standards are shown in Figure 4. If all the standards were in effect, consumers would spend a little less than $30 milion through 2020 to purchase appliances meeting the standards. Based on the savings estimates, this investment would produce a peak demand reduction of about 32 MW and energy savings of about 212,000 MWh in 2020, and cumulative energy savings between 2009 and 2020 of about 1,600 GWh. It is very ìmportant to note that the cost estimates provided here should be used only for relative comparisons and not to assess cost effectiveness. This is because the cost analysis in this study was very targeted and was subject to several conditions: · Costs include only the incremental consumer costs for purchasing an appliance meeting the standard rather than the typical effciency level · No program costs-such as research needed to develop a standard or establish an enforcement process-are included · Future costs are not discounted · No benefits other than the direct consumer and utility energy and demand savings are estimated · The analysis period ends at 2020 so no future energy savings or costs are included Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance.

Processes and Policy Context The estimates in Chapter 4 indicate that adopting appliance effciency standards in Idaho could provide significant statewide energy and peak demand savings. It is important to provide information to IPC, Idaho policymakers, and stakeholders about the policy context and implementation issues that wil have a bearing on how these savings could be realized through the adoption of state appliance standards. This chapter provides such information by examining the appliance standard development and enactment process, factors affecting the degree to which predicted savings are achieved in practice, and options for collaboration with other entities. In addition, it discusses the special case of residential furnaces because of the large potential savings they offer. Development of Appliance Standards in Western States Since IPC specifically focused on Oregon as a likely place to look to as a source of standards for Idaho, it is wort looking at Oregon's recent history that led to the standards analyzed here. But since Oregon's work was heavily influenced by and developed in conjunction with standards development processes in California, an overview of California's experience is also instrctive. This is especially true since California's process is quite different from that of other states. Oregon The process initiated to enact Oregon's 2005 and 2007 standards was predominantly legislative. That is, the standards for individual classes of products were specified in legislation. However, the specifics of the administrative and enforcement provisions were assigned to the Oregon Departent of Energy (ODOE) to be enacted through public rulemaking. The impetus behind the standards in the 2005 legislative session came primarily from the three- state Global Warming Initiative (GWI), a collaborative response to climate change developed at the executive level by California, Oregon, and Washington. A separate GWI working group focusing on appliance and equipment standards was created to investigate the feasibility of regulating products that were primarily those not regulated by the federal governent, but for which standards that would cost-effectively save significant amounts of energy (and water in some cases) made sense at the time. Much of the market and technical research needed for the process had already been generated, either as part of the California standards process or by other parties such as the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), the New England Energy Effciency Partership (NEEP), ASAP, ACEEE, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and others. In California, utilities (publicly owned, investor-owned, and water) were major contributors to the market and technical research upon which the proposed standards were based. The impetus for standards at the state level also came from a failure to regulate on the part of the U.S. DOE. Some of the state-level standards were for products that DOE was supposed to Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 31 develop standards for, but had not acted. Others were seen as appropriate for a federal standard, but for which there was no perceptible progress toward such regulations. Knowledge gained by utilities and others (states, cities, consortia, NGOs, etc.) from running energy-efficiency programs suggested significant savings potential for some products. The rise in energy prices that began in 2003 helped to make such savings more economically attactive than they had been in the decade prior. The Oregon legislation was originated in the House of Representatives as HB 363. Representatives from OSPIRG also worked closely with legislative staff, with technical work provided by staff at ODOE. It was made clear early on that supportive members of the Oregon legislatue simply wished to follow California's lead, enacting only those standards already enacted there, or in process there concurrent with the 2005 legislative session. Washington State was also working on the same standards, for the same reasons, concurrently. Consequently there was much collaboration among the staff members at the California Energy Commission (CEC), ODOE, and the Washington Departent of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED). This proved important as the processes moved along; changes occurred in the standard levels, implementation schedules and other related elements of the complete standards package as lobbyists, new data, technical analysis, and debate converged to shape the outcome. Most of the proposed standards made it through the process, with certain consumer electronics products being a notable exception. California In contrast to those in Oregon and Washington, California's process is administrative in nature. The California legislatue has delegated significant authority to the CEC to conduct the public processes required to enact and enforce appliance standards. Such standards, and those processes, have existed for more than 30 years in California, having started in response to the 1973 energy "crisis" when the CEC was formed. California's first appliance standards went into effect in 1975, concurrent with the 1975 federal legislation (EPCA) that created the first national appliance standards. Since that time, the CEC has successfully maintained significant autonomy for setting standards, having been exempted in certain ways from the preemption of its standards where certain federal standards exist. In part this was due to the fact that it was California that insisted on the right of states to win an exemption from federal preemption through a process specified in the original federal standards legislation. That process has never been fully exercised, however, though California has a curent petition before DOE for a clothes washer water use standard. In cases where a state wishes to have a standard that is different than an existing federal standard, such an exemption must be applied for after the proposed standard has been set at the state level, and before such a state standard can become effective. Products for which there are no federal standards are generally open for state jurisdiction. There is one product, televisions, for which a federal standard was mandated in the original EPCA legislation, but for which a standard has never been set. In spite of this being contrary to current federal law, the consumer electronics industr would likely challenge any state that sought to remedy this situation through a state-level standard. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 32 Administrative versus Legislative Process In a state where there are no current appliance efficiency standards, and where no standards development and enforcement infrastrcture exists, there wil clearly be some decisions that must be made about the process. Each kind of standards process has advantages and disadvantages that bear on the process effectiveness. In Oregon's case, there was no real deliberation on this issue, as the timelines for accomplishing the goals of the three-state GWI drove the standards process. In California, the CEC' s administrative process has been operating very effectively for decades, and so when the GWI came along, it was a matter of adding some new products to the rulemaking agenda and ordering up some new market and product pedormance research. In Oregon, by contrast, the very concept of product standards was new to a legislature that hadn't considered such things in nearly two decades. There was no institutional knowledge of the nature of standards enactment, and no institutional memory of the national or regional standards or Oregon's earlier work. In addition, there was no state infrastrcture to work with for rulemaking or compliance and enforcement. In California, the rulemakings for the 2005 standards proceeded like any other, though the fast- track nature of some standards meant that market and technical information was being generated as the rulemaking proceeded. This led to some delays and reconsiderations as new information came to the table well into the process. In general, the CEC has at least one standards-related rulemaking on its docket at all times. Items are added at the Commissioners' discretion, tyically on the advice of CEC staff who have been researching the particular products or equipment, or the standards activities of utilities or other jurisdictions, especially the u.s. DOE. The adjustments to individual regulatory classes, standards, and implementation dates caused some diffculty for the Oregon and Washington legislatures, which were tring to match California's work exactly. The legislative process is cumbersome enough without having to adjust the bils repeatedly to match the concurrent work of others, especially when the others are working within a more nimble and flexible administrative process. In the end, there were a few minor anomalies between what came out of California's process and the Oregon and Washington legislatures. In general, these differences were of no real consequence, and tyically involved modifications in effective dates or a delay in the regulation of a product sub-class where data were deemed insufficient by the time the rules were to be finalized. In general, the following characteristics are typically positive features of administrative standards processes: · They can be nimble, without the fixed timetables and process restrictions tyical of a legislative process. · They can be responsive, with appropriate or necessary adjustments possible at any time subsequent to the setting of the initial standards and compliance infrastrcture. · Administrative processes tend to be run by a particular agency or department that has overall responsibility for everything related to efficiency standards. The staff of this entity can track relevant processes in other states and at the federal level, and wil Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 33 generally have the background knowledge to support standards and their ongoing administrative needs. · If properly empowered, they tend to be less subject to the influence of special interests. This fact also tends to keep standards from being used as a trade-off against other legislative issues or bils. Legislative processes, on the other hand, have some useful characteristics, as well: · Standards can often be set in a way that requires very little direct administrative support. This can be an advantage if such infrstrctue doesn't exist. · Ifrun fairly and openly, the process can be more public and drw more stakeholder interest than a typical administrative process, and so make energy-efficiency more publicly visible, particularly if the political media choose to focus on it. · In states where no precedent exists for standards, the legislatue can create standards from whole cloth. This can be useful where the administrative resources don't exist, or where staff and budget restrictions prevent the work of standard-setting from taking place. · In many cases, the legislative process can be used as a way to direct administrative rulemakings to take place, resulting in a hybrid legislative/administrative process. This can offer the optimal process in many cases. Such was the case in California in response to its energy crisis in the late 1990s. The Idaho Situation Unlike Oregon, Idaho has no existing standards development infrastrcture. However, the Energy Division of the Idaho Departent of Water Resources (IDWR), the logical place where such activity might have taken place, was recently restrctued as an Executive Branch Agency called the Idaho Offce of Energy Resources. Given this recent change, this organization might be in a good position to take on the responsibilty of developing and implementing appliance efficiency standards. 2 The Special Case of Gas Furnace Standards The long-delayed process to set new federal effciency standards for natural gas fuaces and boilers has come to a close this fall, leading to only a small increase in the effciency requirement (from 78% AFUE to 80% AFUE). The new standard basically acknowledges the efficiency of the equipment used for many years now by manufacturers to meet the old standard. DOE also concluded that they do not have the authority to set electrcal efficiency standards for natural gas- or oil-fired fuaces. In theory, this may leave this area open to state regulation, though the manufacturers and DOE are likely to argue that fuaces are a "covered product" and therefore cannot be regulated in any way by the states without an exemption from federal preemption. 2 Personal communication, November 2007, with Ken Eklund, a longtime Energy Division staffer and curent staff member of the new Office of Energy Resources. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 34 But DOE did something a bit unexpected when they published the draft Final Rule. They acknowledged that the condensing level of effciency for these products (90% AFUE and higher) is cost-effective in the northern half of the country. As a result, they suggested that DOE would be favorably disposed toward petitions for exemption from federal preemption of higher standards in such states. A handful of states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maryland) are at some stage of adopting such a standard for natural gas fuaces. Once adopted, the resulting standards wil become the subject of a federal exemption petition to DOE. Some time later (probably one to three years after adoption of the standards) the petitions may be granted, or they may be denied. As part of its 2008 Residential Energy Code update (itself a strategy element of the West Coast Governors' Global Warming Initiative), Oregon chose to pursue a different means of achieving near-full market penetration of high-efficiency furnaces. Due to the success oftax credits for these products since 1998 and the ever-rising prices of natural gas, more than 80% of replacement gas furnaces in Oregon are such high-effciency variable speed, condensing tyes. So when consumers make the furnace decision, most have been choosing high-efficiency ones, albeit with incentives in most cases. Despite the trend in replacement furnaces, fewer than 15% of furnaces in new construction are high-efficiency models. The state viewed this discrepancy as a market failure in the new constrction market. In response, a new Oregon Residential Energy Code provision wil require the "earning" of energy-effciency "credits" by the builders of new homes, in addition to meeting minimum energy code requirements. The relative number of credits available for each option on the list of approved measures (which can be expanded or adjusted over time administratively) varies by the relative level of energy savings for each measure. One of the highest credit-earing measures is a variable speed, condensing gas furnace. It also happens to be one of the cheapest and easiest to implement. So there is an expectation that most builders wil use this measure to earn their required credits, thus transforming this particular market. Note that the effect of this measure is to include the electrcal efficiency of the furnaces, not only saving 450 to 500 kWh per year during the winter months, but also significantly improving air conditioning effciency (typically adding more than a point to SEER and EER ratings). Key to this code provision is the fact that each measure is voluntary - builders can choose whatever combination of measures they prefer to meet their credit requirements. This bypasses the need for a federal exemption from preemption, and is expected to result in a relatively rapid implementation of this measure. While this is not a standard, per se, it may have a marketplace effect comparable to a standard. As these analyses show, electrcity savings from gas furnaces and their fans can be a significant proportion of total savings possible in Idaho. As four states have already started to do, Idaho may want to investigate the adoption of a furnace fan standard. Oregon's approach, however, offers another alternative that should be thoroughly researched and considered in the context ofIdaho's residential building standards. Quantec ~ Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 35 Realization of Estimated Savings The estimated energy savings presented in this report are based on the best available data. However, predicted energy savings from appliance standards may not be realized for at least three reasons: · Estimated savings may not take into account factors in the field that affect equipment performance · Appliances may not actually comply with the requirements of a standard · Verification of what is being sold and installed-eode enforcement-may not be adequate Field Performance Field performance can suffer if equipment is not installed or operated properly. Historically, underperformance has been most notable with effcient heating and cooling equipment because of factors such as poor installation quality, improper coolant charge, or non-optimal operations. Quantec conducted a literature search to identify any studies on the appliances considered in this report and was unable to locate any program evaluations or studies that compared field performance to predicted performance for these appliances. Given the natue of the majority of appliances analyzed, the likelihood that poor installation or operation would reduce their performance is relatively small. The main factor that might cause estimated savings to differ significantly from actual savings would probably be operating hours. Consequently, one area that should be researched furter is the underlying assumptions about operating hours and how appropriate they are for Idaho and the affected end uses. Compliance and Enforcement The existence of a standard does not, in and of itself, guarantee energy savings. A recent study of California's latest appliance standards showed that compliance rates varied from nearly 100% to as low as 37% for different products, up to nine months after all products being sold were legally required to comply.3 Many ofthese products are the same as the ones analyzed in this study. If standards are adopted at the state level, then the state must have the capabilty to enforce them. Once federal standards are enacted, compliance and enforcement become a federal issue, with some enforcement (e.g., labeling) being handled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Compliance and enforcement tyically require at least some administrative infrastrcture. More important might be an agency's means of enforcement. Some jurisdictions, including Idaho, have used their revenue departents, which enforce ta laws, to enforce standards. In such cases, a higher sales tax might be imposed on non-complying products.4 This has the dual effect of making the failure to collect the added tax ilegal (tax code violations tend to have more serious 3 Khawaja, M.S., A. Lee, and M. Levy. May 2007. Statewide Codes and Standards Market Adoption and Noncompliance Rates. Prepared for Southern California Edison by Quantec, LLC.

Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 36 consequences than many other tyes) and making the non-complying product more expensive and less competitive in the marketplace. In almost all cases, compliance is very much monitored by manufacturers and their distributors and retailers. Anyone selling cheaper non-compliant product wil make the compliant ones less competitive. But if complaints are made in this regard, the state has to have enforcement mechanisms in place to force compliance. Fines and removal of non-compliant product from the market are typical remedies, but these have to be levied and administered by some state offce granted these powers through legislation or administrtive rule. It is often possible to utilize existing compliance strctures created by other states. In California, the CEC has been given compliance and enforcement authority. By law, manufactuers must provide proof of compliance, in writing or through an industry association database process, in order to legally sell covered products in California. Products so certified are listed in the CEC's appliance databases (http://ww.energy.ca.gov/appliances/appliance). The system has built-in mechanisms to handle testing and verification if complaints about non-compliance are brought to the CEC. As noted earlier, however, this system had failed to ensure high compliance rates with many new standards in 2006, largely because the CEC lacked resources to carr out intensive enforcement activities. In spite of the Oregon 2005 legislature making ODOE responsible for compliance and enforcement, ODOE is only now providing for this critical aspect of the Oregon standards program. Initial follow-up to the 2005 legislation consisted primarily of arranging for the use of the CEC's appliance databases for the purposes of manufacturer reporting and compliance. This was part of a multi-state effort to minimize duplication of effort, provide compliance infrastrcture for states that had little or none at the time, and to minimize the impact of multi- state standards on the product manufacturers. This came to be known as the Multi-State Compliance System (M-SCS). It can be accessed at ww.appliancestandards.org. Most states with appliance standards are using this system as part of their compliance and enforcement program. For a modest annual operating cost contrbution, these states gain access to the database, set up to screen for compliance with their own standards. If Idaho does adopt appliance standards, it should investigate the option of using this existing infrastrcture, in addition to any other enforcement/compliance approaches implemented. Follow-up rulemakings required by Oregon's 2005 statute are in process now. Aside from clarifying the provisions of the legislation (effective dates, location of standards in statute, requiring product certification, etc.), the rules wil specify the product certification process, required documentation from manufacturers, labeling, procedures in cases of non-compliance, appeals, etc. ODOE has been granted the authority to administer the program and its rules, and so provides the standards infrastrcture needed to run the program. Staff from ODOE also supports the periodic updating of standards and the implementation of new standards. The rulemaking summary can be found at http://www.oregon.gov/ENERGY/CONS/Rulemaking2007- Appliances Summary.shtml. The Oregon rules were due to be completed on December 1, 2007 and fied with the Secretary of State by December 15,2007. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 37 Collaboration Since 1999, ASAP, founded by ACEEE, the Allance to Save Energy (ASE), and NRDC, has been the coordinating entity for a growing number of states engaged in setting appliance efficiency standards. The impetus for this work was the lack of progress by the federal governent with the backlog of standards for which a Congressional mandate already existed. California had been successful for 25 years in using standards to significantly improve the efficiency of its building stock and its economy. Significant industries had been established to support this work. California utility programs were many and for the most part, very successful as enablers of subsequent standards. National and Regional Collaborative Efforts Throughout the 1990s, many utilities and organizations had proven the market transformation model, where effciency programs (most often run by utilities) serve to upgrade the effciency of targeted products in the marketplace and standards follow along behind, with a time lag, to raise the effciency floor. This starts a new round of the cycle. Organizations like the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), the Northwest Energy Effciency Allance (NEEA), the New England Energy Effciency Partnership (NEEP), the Midwest Energy Efficiency Allance (MEEA) and the Southwest Energy Efficiency Parership (SWEEP) were established to facilitate collaboration among utilities across the countr to increase the impact of individual programs and speed up the transformation process. This regional and national collective approach has accomplished two important things - it has turned the energy-efficiency community into a potent market player on a par with entire product industres, and it has allowed the states to collectively establish standards based on the parmeters set in the efficiency programs. These efforts have been quite successfuL. The sudden surge in state standards activity convinced many equipment manufacturers that a single federal standard would often be preferable to a myriad of state standards (one of the original reasons for the establishment of federal standards in the 1970s). As a result, they became more supportive of federal standards. Many of these manufacturers also became more interested in working with efficiency advocacy organizations in establishing the specifications and market interventions of effciency programs. Collaboration among those interested in promoting energy-efficiency and among the states interested in establishing effciency standards in the follow-up to these progrms has been very effective. These organizations continue this work today, and the list of the successes grows each year. Being active members in collaborative organizations has allowed several utilities and states interested in effciency programs and standards to take advantage of the work of others in the field, thus making their own efforts more powerfL. Utilities can play an important role by being active members of such organizations, and states can join and participate in the ASAP- coordinated group of states that are leading the standards efforts today. On the west coast, the Western Climate Initiative (WCI, www.westernclimateinitiative.org) has provided an effective collaboration. California, Oregon, Washington, Arzona, New Mexico, Utah, British Columbia, and Manitoba are curently members. It has an efficiency standards strategy, including building energy-effciency code upgrades, that supports efforts to promote Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 38 higher energy-efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Idaho is one of eleven observers in this initiative now and expanded involvement could provide additional opportnities for collaboration and leveraging. Opportunities for IPC Utilities can be major forces in moving ahead appliance (and building) standards within states. The role played by utilities in California is an especially useful modeL. Originally, the CEC conducted most of the research and spearheaded the entire standards development process. Starting in the late 1990s, however, the utilities began to assume a proactive role in this process for several reasons, including the fact that upgrading efficiency standards appeared to be a very cost effective way to reduce utility loads. Over time, the CEC and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) have acknowledged the major contributions that utilities can provide through the standards development process. From the utilities' perspective, of course, it is important that equitable cost recovery occur and that energy savings from the standards be properly attributed to the utilities. The regulatory framework in California is evolving to provide the incentives necessary to reward the utilities appropriately for their efforts. Utilities can often contrbute in the area of market research and in the provision of data related to their markets. Needed data include marketplace product efficiency ranges, incremental costs, product attributes, the technical differences among products with differing efficiency levels, the nature of product distrbution channels, etc. Because the utilities are often in a unique position to acquire much of these data, their assistance can be invaluable. This role wil be especially important where national data are not trly representative of markets or conditions in Idaho, or where there are wide ranges or discrepancies in the data that need to be resolved in Idaho in order to gain the confidence of those who have to enact particular standards. IPC can make a significant contribution in this area. California's utilities have each developed their own program to provide this type of information and their efforts are closely coordinated. To be most effective, utilities could be an active participant in a wide range of efforts, whether at the state, regional, or federal leveL. In some cases, supporting a regional or national collaborative effort can fulfill this role. Currently, IPC is an active member of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Allance (NEEA) and the Northwest Power Planning Council's Regional Technical Forum (RTF). Finally, fmdings from this analysis and those from past studies suggest that appliance effciency standards have the potential to provide significant, cost-effective energy and demand savings. It is possible that IPC might benefit from enhancing its IRP process to assess new appliance standards as one tool for addressing load growth. The final chapter recommends specific steps that IPC could take to do so. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 39 6. Recommendations This chapter provides recommendations based on findings from this study. The first group is targeted at specific appliance standards, either for consideration in the near term or in the future. The second set of recommendations lays out specific research activities that would be needed to support the adoption and implementation of new appliance standards. The final section presents broader recommendations directed primarily at IPC, but also at other state entities, to ensure that the policy context, analytic tools, and infrastrcture are in place to make long-term standards development a viable and effective process. Appliance Standards for Consideration Table 15 summarizes the appliances standards analyzed, based on those adopted in Oregon, that could be immediately considered in Idaho. Four apply specifically to equipment used in the commercial building sector. One, state-regulated incandescent reflector lamps, are used in both commercial and residential buildings. The last four are predominantly in the residential sector (single-voltage external power supplies can apply to products used in the commercial sector too). Table 15. Recommended Appliance Standards for Idaho Appliance Sector Metal Halide Fixtures Commercial Water Coolers Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets Commercial Walk.in Refrigerators-Freezers Commercial State-regulated Incandescent Reflector Lamps Residential/Commercial Single-voltage External Power Supplies Residential Compact Audio Products Residential DVD Players Residential Portable Hot Tubs/Spas Residential The appliance that exhibited the largest potential for energy savings is not included in this table, however. High-effciency natural gas residential furnace fans can save as much energy as all the other appliances shown in the table combined. The reason they are not included is because the best venue for increasing the effciency of this equipment is unclear. It is possible Idaho could join other states that are adopting such standards, but because the ultimate decision whether to allow the standard is DOE's, there is some risk the effort wil not produce a viable standard. Oregon's approach has been to bypass the need for a standard and modify the state residential building energy code in a way that is likely to lead to widespread installation of high-effciency furnaces that save natual gas as well as electrcity. In Idaho's case the pros and cons of both approaches should be considered before deciding on one. In particular, the process for incorporating such a requirement in the state's building code needs to be examined. The uncertainties in this process need to be weighed against the risks of going the standard adoption route. Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 40 Two other standards merit future examination. One is for general service incandescent lamps. California has standards now for these products that provide a very modest improvement in average effciency. Nevada has enacted standards for many of these products, effective in 2012, that call for a 30% effciency improvement. Idaho should monitor the status of this standard and the efforts of other states that are seeking much higher lighting efficiencies. More than one state, for example, is considering the option of banning standard incandescent light bulbs altogether. A second lighting standard that should be kept on the table is the one for metal halide luminaires. In a few years, it wil be time to consider whether the current standard should be upgraded to require the use of electronic ballasts. These have too limited a market share at present to be considered as the basis for a standard, but their presence in the market may grow and other states may take actions to upgrade their requirements. Research Needs Efforts by IPC and the State of Idaho to analyze and adopt appliance efficiency standards need to be based on comprehensive research. This study relied on the best information available to estimate both energy impacts and costs. However, this report pointed out limitations in the research that need to be addressed. Much of the information relied upon was from studies conducted for other states or regions. Idaho-specific data are critical for estimating the potential impacts accurately. As more recent information and new products become available, the assumptions and inputs used in this study can be updated. For example, Idaho-specific, current estimates of the saturation of compact audio products, residential furnaces, metal halide fixtures, and reflector lamps are essential to estimate the overall impacts of the proposed standards. Another key input in this analysis was the penetration of appliances in the market already meeting the standard. Although the best sources available were used for this study, there was little information specific to Idaho. It is possible that some of the inputs used were substantially different from the actual conditions in Idaho. A cost-effectiveness analysis including the conventional costs and benefits, with future costs discounted appropriately, would require the incremental consumer costs to be estimated for Idaho. These costs should be developed with respect to typical effciency levels in the Idaho market. Other costs of undertaking an effort to develop and implement appliance standards should be calculated. A second-order data quality need is for IPC-specific end-use load shapes. This analysis used load shapes derived from PacifiCorp data and, though they should be reasonably accurate for IPC's service area, it would be worthwhile to analyze IPC's load shapes for the major appliance categories. Another source of information to monitor is the ASAP's annual "model standards bil" for states to use in setting consistent standards. Supporting product and market data accompany the bil, and the data are available on a state-by-state basis, with adjustments made for climate, operating Quantec - Idaho Power Company Appliance Standards Assessment 41 hours, and energy prices. The 2008 model bil wil be available in the first quarter of 2008 and this could be a valuable source of more current information for Idaho when it is published. Capacity, Infrastructure, and Policy There is limited capacity at the Idaho state level to support the standard-setting process, develop and staff compliance and enforcemeht activities, and engage Idaho in the national state appliance standards network or regional activities. The new Offce of Energy Resources offers an opportnity to initiate and conduct these activities if the state chooses to invest in developing these capabilities. The legislative, administrative, and a hybrid legislative/administrtive process should be assessed to determine which would work the best for Idaho in developing and implementing appliance standards. The steps necessary to establish the preferred infrastrcture and process should be initiated as soon as possible to ensure that standards can be implemented in a timely way. Utilities and state agencies should continue involvement with organizations such as CEE, ACEEE, and NEEA in support of appliance standards. They should also be aware of the ASAP- organized group of states that are enacting standards and supporting follow-up standards at the federal leveL. Finally, Idaho could work toward establishing the policies and planning procedures necessary to leverage the capabilities and resources of utilties in the most effective way to achieve cost- effective energy savings through new standards. The utility IRP process is one possible venue for considering the role of effciency standards. California is developing an approach for promoting the efforts of utilities to upgrade efficiency standards that could be an informative model for other states.

(Nexant) to conduct a demand side management (DSM) potential study and create a dynamic model of the DSM resource available in the IPC service terrtory. IPC's curent DSM program offerings extend to the residential, commercial, industral, and irrgation sectors. This study uses the current program offerings as a framework on which to model the DSM potential available through 2028. This study provides an evaluation of the DSM resource available to each ofIPC's primary sectors with a focus on both demand response (DR) and energy effciency (EE) programs. DR programs target reduction of peak summer loads through customer curtailment of energy intensive processes during peak hours. This report identifies the DR potential across all ofIPC's sectors based on the continuation of existing programs and the introduction of new programs. EE DSM programs encourage customers to install energy efficient equipment thereby saving electricity and reducing system demand. Nexant used its DSM experience and close working- relationship with electric companies in the Northwest to create a comprehensive, end-use forecast ofIPC's achievable savings. As part of its evaluation of the achievable DSM potential, Nexant reviewed IPC's current DSM programs and built a framework on which to build realistic recommendations for future program adaptation. Nexant used its experience with similar utility DSM programs, knowledge of the EE market, and familiarity with appropriate code requirements to establish firm proposals for program development and maturation. 1.2 IPC BASELINE Incorporated in 1989, IPC has grown to provide electrc service for a significant number of customers throughout Idaho and Oregon. In 2007 IPC provided electrc service to a total of 481,651 customers in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon. IPC sold a total of 14,151 GWh of electrcity and averaged a firm load of 1,800 MW in 2007. Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 show the breakdown ofIPC's 2007 sales and load respectively by primary sector.

IPC currently offers a suite of DR and EE programs across all the primary sectors. IPC's DR and EE programs have grown to account for 0.4% of total sales and 3.16% ofload in 2007. Table 1-1 shows an overview ofIPC's DSM program offerings and savings in 2007.

The technical potential describes the savings available if all baseline equipment stock was replaced with every applicable measure. The economic potential is a calculation of savings when all measures that are cost-effective are installed. Market penetration rates are then developed from market research and evaluation data gathered through the implementation of representative DSM programs, primarily in the Northwest. Applying these market penetration rates to the economic potential yields the calculation of achievable potential which represents the savings that IPC can expect to achieve from EE programs. Nexant conducted the evaluation ofEE programs using a bottom-up modeling approach following a general three (3) step process. The following core steps employed to develop a model of IPC and its potential DSM resource are described below. í-'1NexØnT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 1-2 Section 1 Executive Summary .Step 1: Characterize IPC consumption. Nexant first created a baseline energy consumption model of each primary sector. Nexant used resources available through IPC, past projects, and other DSM studies to define the sector energy consumption by sub-sectors and end-uses. Step 2: Define applicable measures. The breakdown of energy consumption by end-use allowed Nexant to identify suitable measures for each sector. For each measure the savings, cost, and lifetime were assembled and used to evaluate the measure for cost-effectiveness. Measures that did not pass this screening were excluded from the calculation of the economic and achievable potentiaL. Step 3: Calculate Achievable Potential. Selected measures were applied to the IPC baseline and the achievable potential was calculated through the application of market penetration rates. Nexant drew from its large breadth of experience in the field ofDSM forecasting and program implementation to develop accurate and consistent market penetration rate curves. . . The evaluation of DR potential is calculated following similar steps, with a few notable variations. First, IPC's peak load is characterized according to sector and appropriate end use. Next, rather than evaluate the saving potential for measures, technical load impact rates for the DR program are estimated. Technical load impact is the percent reduction in load resulting from the program. Finally, to calculate achievable potential, program participation rates and event participation rates are applied to determine actual load reduction during a summer peak period. The results of the achievable potential calculation were evaluated for accuracy against the historical results ofIPC's program implementation and Nexants observations of similar DSM programs. 1.4 RESULTS 1.4.1 Savings Potential Nexant calculated IPC's DSM potential through 2028 and found significant opportnity for program growth. Total achievable savings for the 2009 program year are expected to be 100.5 GWh of electrcity and 186.8 MW ofload1,2. For a ten (10) year forecast period, achievable electricity savings are expected to grow 71.4% to reach 172.3 GWh and demand savings wil increase by 7.4% to account for 200.6 MW.3 Figure 1.3 and Figure 1.4 show the electrcity and demand savings respectively, forecast through 2028. Complete forecasts through 2028 for each sector can be found in Appendix B. 2 All savings in this document are reported at generation level, accounting for i 0.9% line losses. The industral achievable potential savings were calculating using four (4) different incentive scenaros. The savings reported here and in Figue 1.3 through Figure 1.6 are representative of a moderate incentive scenario paying 50% of customer costs. The lower growth potential for peak demand savings reflects the relative maturity of demand response programs to date. Demand response impacts can continue to grow, but are already closer to achievable market potentiaL. 1.1 Nexanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 1-3 Section 1 Executive Summary l 250 200 150 i: Irrgation i: Industrial El Commercial .

Energy Effciency Recommendations In the residential sector Nexant sees potential benefits from the addition of a building shell and weatherization program. Nexant anticipates that this program wil provide residential customers with an energy audit to identify and fix issues with home weatherization. It is estimated that this program could achieve 7.8 GWh of savings by 2019 and account for 27% of IPC' s total residential savings. Nexant also recommends that the current Appliance Program be expanded to include high efficiency water heaters, EnergyStar refrgerators, and a refrgerator recycling program. These measures wil combine to achieve a total of 1.6 GWh of savings by 2019. Finally, the EnergyStar Lighting program should be ramped down as federal code has mandated a phase out of incandescent bulbs. In the commercial sector, Nexant recommends that a number of measures currently offered through the Easy Upgrades and Building Effciency programs be removed or adjusted. IPC should re-evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the following measures: · Flat Panel LCD Display (Easy Upgrades - Plug Load) '-"Neanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 1-6 Section 1 Executive SummaI) · Plug Load Occupancy Sensors (Easy Upgrades - Plug Load) · High-efficiency Coin-op Washers (Easy Upgrades - Plug Load) · Multiplex Refrigeration Systems (Easy Upgrades ~ Grocery) · Window Film (Easy Upgrades - Building Shell) · Effciency Complex Cooling Systems (Building Efficiency - HV AC) It is also recommended that IPC expand the Easy Upgrades program to include a number of new measures. Nexant believes expanding the current motor measures category to include high efficiency motors rated from 250 hp to 500 hp wil yield additional energy savings. Escalator motors controllers would also be a cost effective addition. Additionally, it is recommended that LED case lighting be added to the list grocery measures. The lighting program can be expanded to include 8-lamp, T5HO fixtures, and open loop ground source heat pumps can be added to the HVAC program. Finally, Nexant proposes that IPC introduce a new category of measures focused on agricultural equipment. The combined savings from these measures is expected to reach 3.8 GWh by 2019, accounting for 6.9% of the total commercial energy savings. Technology is continuously evolving and new energy efficient technologies wil emerge in the next years. Some promising technologies have been introduced in the market within the last few years but a lack of implementation information is not conducive to reliable energy savings forecasting. Emerging technologies should, however, be closely watched. They include new solid state lighting technologies, occupancy sensors for HV AC applications, ductless heat pumps, and home energy monitors, among others. Demand Response Recommendations Nexant believes that there is a considerable amount of untapped demand response potential in the commercial and industrial sectors. Introducing a curailable rate program in the commercial and industrial sectors could result in a significant reduction in peak demand. N exant anticipates a peak demand reduction potential of an additional 34 MW from the commercial sector and 25 MW from the industrial sector. 1.4.3 DSM Dynamic Model As part of this DSM potential evaluation, Nexant constrcted a dynamic DSM simulation tool for each sector to allow IPC to make its own savings forecasts based on variable inputs. The simulation tool is framed as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which Nexant believes provides IPC with the most transparent platform. The model has the ability to calculate the technical, economic, and achievable electricity and demand savings by sub-sector and end-use. The tool also calculates the economics associated with each scenario. The simulation tool provides a simple intedace which allows the user to modify key DSM variables such as: · Total sales and load forecasts · Wholesale electricity price forecasts · Line losses i.1NeKQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 1-7 Section 1 Executive Summary · Discount rates Additionally, the transparent nature of the spreadsheet model allows IPC staff to see and manipulate all the variables and inputs that they might like to analyze into scenario DSM forecasting. i.1NeKan Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 1-8 Section 2 Calculation Methodology 2.1 OVERVIEW OF CALCULATION METHODOLOGY The general process used by Nexant in the DSM potential study is shown in Figure 2.1 and described in detail below. The Regional Technical Forum and the Database for Energy Effcient Resources Figure 2.1 DSM Potential Calculation Process Section 2 Calculation Metholog While the specific process of evaluation for each sector varied slightly, the general process for calculating the savings potential was the same across all sectors. Nexant conducted this analysis using three primary steps as described below. 2.1.1 Baseline Definition N exant first characterized the baseline characteristics of IPC' s electrcity consumption and building stock by breaking it down in sub-sectors and end-uses. Defining a baseline allowed Nexant to calculate the expected satuation and prevalence of energy efficient measures. Nexant drew from a large collection of sources including data provided by IPC, regional reports, and end-use surveys. 2.1.2 Measure Definition The second overall step in the process was to identify measures that may be applicable to IPC's customers. First, a list of measures was built and grouped by end-use. Nexant pulled measures from IPC's current programs, other utility DSM programs, and market research of emerging technologies. Once a comprehensive list of measures was assembled, a database was built defining the savings, cost, and lifetime of each measure. Nexant used its extensive experience with implementing DSM programs to determine much of this information. Data was also taken from.large DSM databases such as the Regional Technical Forum (RTF) and the Database for Energy Efficient Resources (DEER). Where appropriate, measure savings were calculated to best reflect IPC's service terrtory. Once measure data was assembled, the measures were screened for cost effectiveness using the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test and the Utility Cost (UC) test. The TRC test compares energy savings with administrative cost and incremental costs of the measure and is shown in Equation 2.1. TRe = LlkWhx Utiliy. Avoided CostProgam Admin Cost + Measure Cot The UC test ensures that the utility benefits of implementing the measure outweigh the utility costs. Equation 2.2 shows the formula for the UC test. Equation 2.1 ""Neanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 2-2 Section 2 Calculation Methodology UC = LlkWhx Utiliy Avoided CostProgam Admin Cost + Incentives Paid To take free ridership into account, the formula is multiplied by a net-to-gross ratio that accounts for the share of the savings due to free ridership. Net-to-gross ratio values were derived from the values recommended by the California Public Utilities Commission. i Equation 2.2 Measures that do not pass the TRC or UC test are screened out and not included in the calculation of economic or achievable potentiaL. 2.1.3 Achievable Potential Calculation The achievable potential was calculated by incorporating the cost effective measures into the defined baseline and applying appropriate market penetration rates. The market penetration rate is the rate of acceptance of a DSM program or measure. Nexants extensive experience with DSM program implementation and forecasting was used to constrct market penetration rate curves for each measure or end-use. Nexant relied heavily on data obtained from the implementation ofPacifiCorp's Energy FinAnswer, FinAnswer Express, and Self-Direct Credit programs to forecast market penetrtion. These programs closely match the strcture ofIPC's Easy Upgrades and Custom Efficiency programs, and Nexant believes that PacifiCorp's Utah service terrtory can act as an important forecaster in determining the future of IPC' s DSM potentiaL. 2.2 UNCERTAINTY As with any DSM analysis or forecast, the estimates presented in this study are subject to a degree of uncertainty. While steps were taken by Nexant to minimize the uncertainty associated with the savings estimates, measure data and savings forecasts are inherently imprecise. As described above, a key part of developing a DSM analysis is defining the characteristics of each measure. The diversity and variability of real-world measure applications is such that assumptions must be made in order to best characterize each measure. When savings, costs, and measure lives are applied to measures, they represent the best estimates for IPC's service terrtory based on available statistics and data. Creating a forecast of any future event or trend carres with it an inherent degree of uncertainty. Changes in market prices, customer characteristics, emerging technologies, politics, and numerous other factors all introduce uncertainty to the forecast. While it is diffcult to predict In general, California's net-to-gross ratios tend to be lower than in other parts of the country-an effect attributable to many years of aggressive program implementation and market conditioning, and an increased level of consumer awareness due to high energy prices (relative to other geographic areas) and historical events such as California's energy crisis in 2001. To the extent that IPC realizes higher net-to-gross ratios, it may also achieve higher net progrm savings than estimated in this analysis. t-1Nexønr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 2-3 Section 2 Calculation Methodology future events, Nexant relied on its experience of both implementing and evaluating programs to accurately forecast IPC's DSM potentiaL. Many of the forecasted variables-such as market penetration rates and administrative costs-are built on empirical data that has been used to develop accurate trends. The use of empirical data reduces uncertainty by minimizing subjective estimation from the forecast methodology. The uncertainty associated with the DSM forecast increases as the forecast timeline gets longer. This is based on the assumption that the market charcteristics in the short term closely reflect the current, observable market characteristics. With the addition of each year to the forecast timeline, the potential for the introduction of unforeseen market varables (as well as emerging technologies) increases, thus increasing the overall uncertainty. The transparent nature of the DSM models allows for the development of forecast variables as new data becomes available. As IPC continues to implement their DSM programs, further data points can be added to the trend-lines used to forecast DSM potential, thereby increasing the accuracy of the long-term forecast. Changes in available measures, code requirements, and other market characteristics can also be modified in the model to accurately adapt the DSM forecasts. "'''NexQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 2-4 Section 3 Residential Potential 3.1 SUMMARY OF RESIDENTIAL POTENTIAL The residential sector alone accounts for 40% ofIPC electricity sales with 5,272,077 MWh biled in 2008 out ofa total volume of sales of 14,450,350 MWh. In previous years, IPC has developed a set of seven programs aimed at capturing the large energy effciency resource of the residential sector. Building on its experience with assessing and managing programs for various electric utilities in the North West, Nexant has developed a thorough assessment of the curent programs and an outline for new program developments. Nexant believes that IPC has the potential to double its energy savings in the next five years. Nexants DSM model forecasts a potential increase of 14 GWh, from 13 GWh of savings in 2009 to 27 GWh of savings in 2014 and 29 GWh in 2019. Figure 3.1 shows the residential potential savings forecast through 2028. This stream of savings would come at a cost of approximately 1.7 cents per kWh for IPC and 6.7 cents per kWh from a Total Resource perspective. Figure 3.2 shows the evolution of each program share relative to the total energy savings. 450,000 400,000 350,000 300,000 ~ 250,000 ::- Technical Potential 200,00 - Economic Potential - Achievable Potential 150,000 100,000 50,000 # ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ # $ ## ~## # #~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 'v ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Year Figure 3.1 Residential Electricity Potential Savings Forecast Section 3 Residential Potential 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 .s 3:20,000:: 15,000 10,000 5,000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Year I~ Misc Measures I~ Building Shell Retrofit Program El Weatherization Kit I~ Heating and Cooling effciency I~ Rebate Advantage I~ Energy Star Homes El Energy House Calls I~ Weatherization El Lighting I~ Appliances Figure 3.2 Evolution of Residential Energy Savings by Program A number of the existing residential programs have growth potentiaL. In addition, the progressive phase-out of incandescent bulbs wil deeply modify the shares of savings between the different programs in the next ten years as shown on the curve above. The Appliances Program was stared in 2007 and currently includes rebates for Energy Star refrigerators and Clothes Washers. This program wil account for only 3% of the energy savings in 2009. Nexant recommends adding new measures including a Refrgerator and Freezer Recycling program, an Energy Star Program and a Water Heater High Effciency program. These additions wil help ramp up the Appliances program to 20% of the residential sector total energy savings in 2019. The Energy Star Lighting program should be progressively ramped down due to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 which mandates progressive phase-out of incandescent bulbs and phase-in of CFLs. Since this program alone has provided more than half of all energy savings in 2007, its progressive phase-out wil have to be anticipated and substitution programs have to be launched to make up for the large and cost effectives savings provided by the Energy Star Lighting program. It is expected that this program wil account for less than 25% percent of the total savings in 2014 and 10% only in 2019. The Heating and Cooling Efficiency program, started by IPC in the fall of 2007 has considerable room for growth. This program builds on the specificities of Idaho climate whose hot summers and cold winters drve high heating and cooling loads. The dress of the climate also makes evaporative coolers a very effective alternative to traditional air conditioners although evaporative coolers also have some drawbacks, described more in details in section 3.3.7. This t-'JNexØnT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-2 Section 3 Residential Potential program alone has an energy savings potential of 4.9GWh (16% of the total savings) in 2014 and 7.3 GWh in 2019. Nexant also recommends that IPC implement two new programs: a Weatherization Kit program and a Building Shell Retrofit program. These programs have shown potential when implemented by other utilities. They include measures such as wall and attic insulation, windows replacement, electronic thermostats installation and low-flow showerheads. The energy and peak power savings that this set of programs wil yield by 2009 are summarized in Table 3-1. Table 3.12009 Residential Achievable Savings ~clìevalìle Savings Savings % of total loafl Energy Saved (MWh)12,921 0.24% Average demand reduction (aMW)1.4 0.23% Peak Reduction (MW)1.6 0.26% The percentage of the load reduced by the DSM programs equals only 0.24% of the total load. This is at the low end ofthe common range for DSM program results in the US. The usual range is 0.1 % to 0.8% of the load saved annually. This value can reach 1 % in utilities were DSM is a priority resource. N exant has developed an estimate of the cost effectiveness of the current and future programs. The different cost tests and program levelized costs are summarized below: Table 3.2 2009 Costs and Benefits Summary Metric east Customer Costs ($):$3,684,929 Incentives ($):$866,044 Avoided Costs year 2009 ($)$6,717825 Total Resource Levelized Cost ($/kWh) 1 $0.067 Total Utilty Levelized Cost ($/kWh) 1 $0.017 Utility Cost Test BIC Ratio 4.42 Total Resource Cost BIC Ratio 1.54 1 Levelized costs are calculated over the life of the program. The global set of programs passes both the Total Resource Cost and Utility Cost tests and the levelized costs are in line with current program costs: 6.6 cents / kWh for the Total Resource Levelized Cost, and 3.4 cents/kWh for the Utility Levelized Cost. This last number is lower than the marginal cost of electricity production. The proposed set of energy effciency programs wil "supply" IPC with DSM resource savings at a lower price than conventional power supplies. The levelized costs calculated here are expressed in 2009 dollars and are levelized over the lifetime of the impacts. The total cost of the program implementation wil reach $4.3 milion in 2009 (Total Resource Cost). í-1NeQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-3 Section 3 Residential Potential Nexant also developed supply cures to identify the relationship between cost and magnitude of achievable DSM resources available through implementation of energy efficiency measures.

"'''Neonr 3-5Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study Section 3 Residential Poential 3.2 RESIDENTIAL POTENTIAL MODEL 3.2.1 Overview The Residential DSM Potential Model was developed in three successive steps. First, Nexant developed a baseline of the residential sector energy consumption using a bottom-up approach broken down by end-uses (refrgerator, air conditioner, lighting, etc.). Once the baseline was developed and the most energy intensive end-uses identified, Nexant built a list of potential energy effciency measures. Those measures then underwent a screening process based on a Total Resource Cost Test and a Utility Cost Test. The last step incorporated the selected measures into Nexants DSM modeL. The model applies program-specific market penetrations to each measure and forecasts energy savings for the 2009-2028 period. 3.2.2 Baseline Energy consumption In the residential sector the development of achievable potential requires using the following methodology to disaggregate the energy use forecast and create a bottom-up model that breaks out energy consumption by end use: · Use population forecast data for the residential sector for the next twenty years · Estimate end use saturations for the following end-uses: Electrc Furnace Electrc Room Heating Heat Pumps (Heating) Central AC Units Heat Pumps (AC) Room AC Units Evaporative Coolers Dishwashers Clothes Washers Electrc Water Heaters First Refrgerators Second Refrigerators Freezers Electrc Clothes Dryers Televisions Lighting Plug Load i.1Nexønr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-6 Section 3 Residential Potential · Estimate end use Unit Energy Consumptions (UEC) for each separate end use (kWh/year for each home). · Use the population data, end use saturations, and end use intensities to build a bottom-up model ofIPC's residential sector energy usage. · Reconcile the bottom-up model with the top-down forecast provided by the utility. Both end-use saturations and Unit Energy Consumptions are derived from the Census Bureau American Housing Survey of 2005 and from various DSM potential studies (Pacificorp 2006 Potential DSM Study, California Statewide Appliance Saturation Survey, Colorado 2006 DSM Market Potential Assesment). 3.2.3 Measures Screening Once the baseline established, a list of energy efficiency measures was created using data from the NWPCC measure database. This database includes more than 2,000 energy efficiency measures. Information such as measure lifetime, energy savings, administrative costs, and incremental costs was extracted from the database. Similar measures were then bundled together and the corresponding savings and costs were averaged across the bundle of measures. Each bundle of measures was then screened using the TRC and UC tests as described in Section 2. Net to Gross Ratio values used for the UC test were derived from the values recommended by the California Public Utilities Commission and are shown in Table 3-3. Table 3-3 DEER database Net-to-Gross ratios iPr:ogram'lr:eâíP'rogram Net.to.Gross Ratios Appliance early retirement and replacement 0.80 Residential Audits 0.72 Refriaerator Recvclina / Freezer Recvclina 0.35/0.54 Residential Contractor Proaram 0.89 Emeraina Technoloaies 0.83 All other residential proarams 0.80 Nexant used an average administrative cost value for most measures since administrative costs were rarely included in the NWCC database. These figures would have to be refined using IPC real administrative costs. All others costs and savings figures used, especially energy savings and incremental costs are derived from the NWCC database. Drawing on both their engineering expertise and on the tyical values commonly used in DSM Potential studies, Nexant believes those figures are reasonable. The following measures failed the screening: · EnergyStar dishwashers · Ceiling fans · lkW individual PV systems · EnergyStar homes with heat pumps · Heat Pump upgrade from air source to geothermal t.1Neonr Idaho Power Company. Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-7 Section 3 Residential Potential · Air Conditioner upgrade to higher SEER standard Although they failed Nexants cost test, the two last measures are included in IPC energy effciency measure portfolio. Nexant believes that this is because of a probable difference in administrative costs or in energy savings estimates between the NWPCC database used by Nexant and IPC's database. Because they failed the cost tests, the measures listed above were not included in the achievable potential calculation. Idaho Power's composite cost of capital was 8.1% as of December 31, 2007. This value was used in the measure screening process mentioned above. To account for possible discount rate changes in the future and to understand how sensitive measure cost-effectiveness is to discount rate changes, Nexant conducted a discount rate sensitivity analysis. Nexant screened the measures again for a higher (10%) and a lower (6%) discount rate value. When the discount rate is increased to 10%, the following measures become non cost-effective: Single Family Measures: · Gravity Film Heat Exchanger · Windows replacement - Low income · Energy Star Home · Duct Sealing with Heat Pump - Low Income Manufactured Homes Measures: · Insulation When the discount rate is dropped to 6%, no new measures become cost-effective. It should also be noted that the measures which become non-cost effective following a discount rate increase to 10% stil have TRC values very close to 1. For more details see the sensitivity analysis tables in Appendix A. 3.2.4 Achievable Potential The achievable potential is calculated based on the measures passing the cost test screening. A market penetration is affected to each measure to account for the fact that only a given percentage of the customers who renew their equipment a given year (or buy a new house with new equipment installed) wil adopt a more energy effcient equipment. Market penetrations are the main drivers in the calculation of the achievable potential savings and have been researched and adjusted thoroughly by Nexant. For IPC's existing programs, market penetrations have been fine-tuned with market penetration data from previous years. For all other measures, the market penetrations are average market penetration values drawn from a large panel of DSM Potential studies conducted for various utilities throughout the US (e.g., Pacificorp, PG&E, NYSERDA, i.1NexanT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-8 Section 3 Residential Potential Bonnevile Power Administration, Northwestern Energy, and Georgia Power) and from Nexants staff experience managing various residential programs. The main assumptions being used for the achievable potential calculations are described hereafter. Insulation measures savings and costs are expressed per square foot of insulation. Nexant used an average value of 2,200 square foot for individual houses, 800 square foot for multi family houses and 1,200 square foot for manufactured homes. Those values are derived from the Census Bureau American Housing Survey of2005 and from IPC's staff inputs. Nexant analysts believe a total windows surface of 25% of the dwelling sudace to be a reasonable estimate of the actual area of windows in each home. This value was used for windows replacement measures. For infitration measures, Nexant staff estimates that existing houses infiltration can be improved by an average of 0.1 air changes per hour. For all measures restrcted to low income customers, Nexant researched low income thresholds for different utilities in the US. PG&E threshold was used in the study. Using data from the Census Bureau, Nexant derived the following share of each household category that can be classified as low income: 24% of single family households, 27% of multi family households and 40% of manufactued home households. For measures including both new constrction and retrofit, Nexant chose to use average values between new constrction and retrofit for savings and cost figures. The DSM potential model breaks down measures into new constrction and retrofit to account for savings and costs figures that can vary widely between retrofit and new construction. The next step consisted of calculating achievable potential savings for each program. A detailed description of achievable potential savings along with program recommendations is given below. 3.3 RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS 3.3.1 Appliance Program Stil in its infancy in 2007, the Appliance Program holds a large volume of potential energy savings. It currently includes rebates for Energy Star qualified clothes washers, refrgerators and ceiling fans only. While the market for those appliances will ramp up quickly in the coming years and generate 4 GWh of savings in 2014 and 4.6 GWh in 2019, Nexant recommends adding three other measures that wil yield close to 1 GWh of additional savings in 2014 and 1.4 GWh in 2019. The first measure is a refrigerator and freezer recycling program which has been successfully implemented by various utilities across the United States. The measure consists in collecting old refrigerators and freezers that would otherwise stay connected to the grd when homeowners buy a new refrigerator or a new freezer. Considering 700 kWh of savings for a recycled refrigerator and 500 kWh for a recycled freezer, this measure would create 508 MWh of energy savings in 2014 and up to 700 MWh in 2019. The measure usually includes the payment of a small rebate. IPC cost structure currently leaves room for a $30 to $50 rebate. NY SERDA ' s Keep Cool Progrm implemented in the state of New York has a program cost strcture as follows: 65% incentives, 20% marketing, 15% implementation. Program evaluation studies have shown that marketing efforts were significantly more effective when a marketing bil stuffer was added to the mail bil or when advertising campaigns were setup with large scale newspapers. It i."NexanT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-9 Section 3 Residential Potential has also been shown in a 2005 statewide California study that shortening pick-up delays from 7 to 3 days boosts participation rates by 30%. The incentive payment is also a decisive motivating factor. If successful, the recycling program could be extended to recycling of Room Air Conditioners, a measure that has been successfully implemented in several parts of the United States. The two additional measures Nexant recommends for addition to the Appliances program are a Water Heater High Efficiency measure and an Energy Star Freezer measure. The energy savings ofthe combined measures could reach an estimated 449 MWh by 2019. Energy Star Freezers have the potential to reach a market penetration of 40%. High effciency water heaters are believed to have less potential in terms of market share but more potential in terms of energy savings since their Unit Energy Consumption (UEC) is five times higher than the UEC of a freezer. 3.3.2 Energy Star Lighting The Energy Star Lighting program accounted for more than half of IPC energy savings in 2007. This program has provided a significant stream of savings at a relatively low cost of 1.6 cents per kWh. The savings from this program will likely start drng up in 2012 for a new federal standard has been enacted in December 2007 through the Energy Independence and Securty Act of 2007 that mandates progressive phase-out of incandescent bulbs and phase-in of CFLs. Even ifNexant does not see any new energy efficient lighting technology in the next couple of years with the potential to provide the same amount of savings the CFLs have provided in the past, it is possible that the LED technology wil become viable and provide a modest amount of energy savings each year. Nexant recommends that IPC monitors technological progress in lighting technologies in the coming years. 3.3.3 Weatherization for Qualified Customers The Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers (W AQC) program has been operating since 1989 and has provided cost-effective weatherization measures for low-income households. The enrollment has been fairly constant from 2001 to 2004 with around 200-300 customers. 2005 and 2006 have seen an increase to about 570 and 540 customers. 2007 has seen a decrease to 397 customers~ WAQC has been a reliable program for years. Nexant believes there is a marginal untapped potential for this program as shown by the customer enrollment increase in 2005 and 2007. Nexant sees a potential 20% increase from current enrollment levels in the long term. Nexant forecasts that the program's savings wil increase from 1.6 GWh in 2009 to 2.3 GWh in 2014 and 2.6 GWh in 2019 due to both participation increase and population growth. Nexant did not include the Low Income Insulation measure in its achievable potential calculation because it did not pass the TRC. 3.3.4 Energy House Calls Since its inception in 2002, the Energy House Calls program has achieved a very high market penetration rate relative to the market size: 700 homes participated in 2007. With a measure lifetime of 20 years, a total stock of approximately 46,000 manufactured homes, and taking into account that only a fraction of the manufactured homes are heated with electrcal systems, "'1NeQnT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-10 Section 3 Residential Potential N exant evaluates the maximum turnover stock for the duct sealing measure in year 2009 to be approximately 720 units. The penetration rate achieved in 2007 is not likely to be sustainable in the long ru and Nexant believes the program wil see a decrease in participation in the coming years. Nexant forecasts an annual stream of energy savings comprised between 400MWh and 600 MWh in the coming years if IPC decides to continue the program. 3.3.5 Energy Star Homes The EnergyStar Homes program has seen a decrease from 439 new Energy Star Homes built in 2006 to 303 in 2007. This trend is mostly due to the real estate downturn in 2007 following the summer mortgage crisis. Constrction figures in IPC service terrtory were reaching about 12,000 new homes per year before the crisis. They dropped to about 4,000 in 2007. This drop is most likely temporary and constrction should reach its pre-crisis level again in the coming years. In those conditions, the construction of Energy Star Homes could reach a market penetration as high as 25% in the long ru. Market studies over the last decade have shown that after 10 years of program implementation, market penetrations could be as high as 42% (2005 data for Nevada). In 2005, Texas had a 30% market penetration while California and Arzona were reaching 20%. The Colorado High Performance Homes 100 has a target of 60%. If IPC achieves 25% market penetration, it is expected that energy savings could reach 1.1 GWh in 2019 and represent 4% of the total savings in IPC's service terrtory that year. The $400 incentive curently provided by IPC is a reasonable incentive leveL. Based on past experiences, the EPA discourages payment of higher incentives. Even at higher levels, the incentive remains negligible compared to the price of a new house. Investing in marketing towards home builders is usually more efficient. Past best practices have included: · Technical assistance to home-builders to better understand Energy Star requirements · Homebuilders value marketing efforts more than cash incentives · A common popular addition is a Lighting and Appliance Bonus (Texas implements an additional $700 bonus for homeowners who install a package of ten Energy Star fixtures and three Energy Star appliances) 3.3.6 Rebate Advantage Since its first implementation in 2003, Rebate Advantage has seen its participation grow to about 120 customers in 2007. The number of Energy Star Manufactured Homes manufacturers is much lower than the number of Energy Star Home builders. For this reason, market trends in neighboring states have shown that marketing efforts directed towards builders and customers have more impact than on the Energy Star Homes market. Market shares for SGC and Energy Star Manufactured Homes typically reached 50% of the market in the past decade. A 50% market penetration would translate into 200 customers per year on IPC service terrtory. The energy savings yielded by the Rebate Advantage program are expected to reach close to 871 MWh in 2019. "'''N8Xønr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-11 Section 3 Residential Potential 3.3.7 Heating and Cooling Effciency Nexant believes that the Heating and Cooling Effciency program is one of the most promising programs in IPC' s portfolio. It could provide 18% of all energy savings in 2014 and 25% in 2019. Nexant believes that three of the current measures wil provide most of this program savings: · Air Conditioner to Heat Pump upgrade: 2.1 GWh savings in 2014,2.7 GWh in 2019, · Air Conditioner to Evaporative Cooler upgrade: 1.1 GWh savings in 2014, 1.4 GWh in 2019. The potential on this market is drven by Idaho dr climate and high evaporation rates that make evaporative coolers technology a very cost-effective alternative to air conditioners. It should however be noted that evaporative coolers wil face higher market barrers than conventional AC units. They are traditionally less popular among vendors, who are important allies in delivering effective programs.. Evaporative coolers can tend to create humidity build-up inside the home if adequate ventilation is not used or produce odors if pad maintenance has not been performed regularly. Consumer and vendor education regarding appropriate ventilation and equipment maintenance practices wil be key to progrm success. · Heat Pump to higher efficiency Heat Pump upgrade: 1.6 GWh savings in 2014 and 3.3 GWh in 2019. The room for growth on this particular measure is mostly due to the 27% market penetration for Energy Star heat pumps and to the fact that heat pumps are one of the main end-uses in the residential sector 3.3.8 Weatherization Kit and Building Shell Retrofit Nexant sees a considerable untapped potential in the area of building shell retrofit and weatherization. The total potential could reach 7.8 GWh of savings in 2019, accounting for 27% of IPC savings that year. The program, which would build on the experience gathered with the 2008 Attic Insulation pilot program, would be IPC's biggest program once the Energy Star Lighting has been phased out. This is due to the fact that the program targets savings on the most energy intensive end-uses in homes: heating and cooling. Nexant believes that the Building Shell Retrofit and the Weatherization Kit programs proposed in the DSM Model could be blended into a single program that would bundle all retrofit and weatherization measures. It could take the shape of individual energy audits performed by contractors hired by IPC as has been done in the case of the Energy House Calls program. Each audit would provide a detailed examination of the insulation characteristics, of the heating and cooling system characteristics and of the electric bil patterns over the last years. The contractor would then make recommendations that would include: · Attic, walls and floor insulation · Window replacement · Duct sealing, infitration measures and electronic thermostat installation · Water heater pipe insulation and gravity film exchanger installation · Low flow showerheads and faucet aerators installation ('''Nexanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-12 Section 3 Residential Potential Best practices in other parts of the US (TCHC Scattered Housing Energy Retrofit Program, Home Base Retrofit Program - Vermont Gas Systems, Inc) have included hiring mulitple contractors of different sizes and with complementary skils to maximize program flexibilty. Energy effciency education directed at homeowners is also an important part of building retrofit projects: a thermostat will not achieve any savings if the homeowner does not use it the right way. Nexant wishes to emphasize that insulation, window replacement and other weatherization measures have obvious interactive effects on each others. For that reason, energy savings estimates wil have to be refined when energy savings data starts being gathered with the first projects implementations. I,1NeØnT Idaho Power Company. Demand Side Management Potential Study 3-13 Section 4 Commercial Potential 4.1 SUMMARY OF COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL IPC's commercial sector consumes 28% of the total electrcity sales and accounts for a quarter of the total demand. The commercial sector covers a large spectrm of customers and is characterized by a high degree of variation in electricity consumption. IPC has created a set of prescriptive DSM programs aimed at capturing the valuable DSM resource in the commercial sector. Nexant conducted an evaluation of the current program offerings and provides recommendations for program adjustments. The DSM potential of the commercial sector is calculated based on the current programs with the recommended changes in place. IPC introduced the Easy Upgrades for Simple Retrofits (Easy Upgrades) program in 2007. This program offers prescriptive incentives for a suite of measures to be installed in existing facilities. The program is one of the most comprehensive in the North West with incentives for lighting, HV AC, building shell, motor, plug-load, and refrgeration measures. The Building Effciency program was introduced in 2005 and offers prescriptive incentives for measures installed during new constrction projects. The Building Effciency program allows customers to receive incentives for lighting, HV AC, building shell, and building control measures. Nexant calculated total achievable potential energy savings to be 24 GWh in 2009 with demand savings of 7.4 MW. It is estimated that IPC's commercial DSM resource could grow to 57 GWh with a 16.9 MW reduction by 2019. Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2 show the achievable electrcity and demand savings respectively, in relation to the technical and economic potential savings though 2028.

It is expected the savings from the Easy Upgrades program wil increase significantly in the coming years as the program ramps up. In addition to tyical program growth, increases in Easy Upgrades savings may come from the expansion of the program. N exant recommends the inclusion of a new measure category to the existing Easy Upgrades progrm which would offer customers incentives for agrculture measures. It is also recommended that the motor category be expanded and LED case lighting be added to the refrgeration measure category, as well as increasing the measures in the HV AC and Lighting programs. These additional measures account for 8.5% of the total achievable potential savings in 2009.

First the baseline energy consumption of the IPC commercial sector was classified by sector. Next a database of energy effcient measures was created which drew from the measures currently offered by IPC as well as those offered by other utility companies and emerging technologies. Like the residential sector, these measures were screened using the Total Resource Cost Test and the Utility Cost Test. Nexant then built a model which applies the selected measures to ¡PC's baseline data and calculates the energy savings for each measure. 4.2.2 Baseline Energy Consumption The commercial sector's energy consumption was broken down according to the sub-sectors tyical of DSM forecast studies. These sub-sectors are readily defined and recognized as predominant building types for DSM forecasting. The sectors include: · Offce · Education .Food Service .Health .Retail .Lodging .Food Store .Miscellaneous .Warehouse Nexant calculated each sector's share ofthe total commercial electrcity consumption using EIA data for the North West mountain region. In addition to characterizing the energy consumption by sub-sector, EIA data was also used to develop assumptions about the building stock ofIPC's customers. This data is used in turn to establish estimates of the equipment stock for each measure evaluated. 4.2.3 Measure Evaluation Nexant created a database of measures to be evaluated for the commercial potential modeL. The database drew measures from the current IPC programs, other utility DSM programs, and studies of emerging technologies. Once the list of measures was complete, the database was expanded to include energy savings, demand savings, measure lifetime, and customer costs for each measure. This information was either calculated or pulled from other measure databases. In all cases where measure information was taken from existing databases, the data was evaluated for appropriateness for the IPC service terrtory. Key resources included: · California Energy Commission's Database for Energy Effcient Resources (DEER) · Northwest Power and Conservation Council's Regional Technical Forum · PacifiCorp' s 2008 Market Characterization Report For the Building Effciency program, since these measures are installed as new constrction, it is important to define the baseline equipment properly when calculating savings and costs. For most measures the baseline is defined as code compliant equipment or practices. In this situation t-1Nexanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-10 Seclion4 Commercial Potential the measure data represents the incremental cost or savings difference between the measure and the baseline. However, for add-on measures that are not necessarily installed during new construction (like economizers) data is representative of full costs and savings. Measure incentive levels were also defined for each measure. For measures already available through IPC's rebate programs, the analysis is performed using the existing incentive levels. For new measures, or measures that did not pass the UC test, incentive levels are defined differently. The incentive level for measures offered by other utility progrms is set at the average incentive level across the utility programs. Emerging technologies and new measures have their incentive level defined by applying an average incentive to customer cost ratio of 0.479. The measures were grouped based on their end-use savings. It should be noted that although the savings from building shell measures wil be achieved at the HV AC system, they are grouped separately for ease of program implementation. The following measure categories were used: · Lighting · HVAC .Motors .Building Shell .Grocery .Plug Load .Controls .Agriculture .Food Service The measures were then screened using the Total Resource Cost test (TRC) and the Utility Cost test (UC) as described by Equation 2.1 and Equation 2.2 in Section 2. A number of measures currently offered by IPC's DSM programs did not pass either the TRC or UC test. Closer evaluation was given to these measures to determine an appropriate course of action. Nexant tried to determine if modifications should be made to the curent program or if the measures should be deemed uneconomical and removed from calculation of economic and achievable potentiaL. t1NeKQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-11 Section 4 Commercial Potential Table 4-3 shows the currently offered measures that did not pass the screening process and Nexants recommendations. Nexants complete recommendations are described in Section 4.3. Measures marked with 'No action' are to be maintained in the current program as Nexant believes that they are cost effective when bundled in the measure category.

No action - indicates that although the measure failed the scrning pross, Nexant recommends keeping the measure in place, as it may be cost-effective when grouped with like measures. Reconsider - Nexant recommends reconsidering the inclusion of these measures in current programs. These measures are not included in the calculation of economic or acievable potential. Modify - Nexant recommends modifying the currently offered incentive to make the measures cost effective. To determine the applicable stock of measures present in IPC's service terrtory Nexant characterized each measure by a number of factors in each sub-sector. Nexant developed each factor by drawing from a host ofDSM studies and past evaluations. Nexant evaluated the following factors to determine the eligible equipment stock for each measure: · Applicabilty Factor. The applicability factor is the fraction of floor stock that is applicable for each measure. · Not Complete Factor. The not complete factor is the fraction of applicable floor space that has not yet been converted to the measure. · Feasibilty Factor. The feasibility factor is the fraction of floor space that is feasible for conversion to the measure. · Technology Saturation. Technology saturation describes the number of units ofmeasUle per square foot. i.1NexDnT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-13 Section 4 Commercial Potential 4.2.4 Achievable Potential The achievable potential is calculated by incorporating the feasible and economic measures into the commercial modeL. A market penetration rate is applied to the total savings to account for the percentage of eligible customers choosing to participate in the DSM program. Nexant used a combination ofIPC's historical data and experience with similar DSM programs to build market penetration rate curves. The Easy Upgrades program has only been in place since 2007 which limits the forecasting data available for program participation. Nexant therefore used its experience with PacifiCorp's FinAnswer Express program to develop trending data for the Easy Upgrades program. The measures offered by the FinAnswer Express program closely match those offered in the Easy Upgrades program making it a valuable resource for predicting future penetration rates. The Building Efficiency program has been in place since 2005, giving it time to ramp up its achievable savings potential and market penetration. Building Effciency savings data from past years coupled with the new construction portion of the FinAnswer Express program was used to develop market penetration rate curves for the Building Efficiency program. 4.3 COMMERCIAL PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS The Easy Upgrades and Building Efficiency programs have begun to capture an important piece oflPC's DSM resource. Continuation of these programs with consideration for a number of key aspects will allow IPC to see significant savings potential in the future. To maximize savings potential it is important that DSM programs reflect the latest trends in energy efficient technology. It is recommended that IPC remain informed and up to date on any potential emerging technologies. This can be achieved through market research and fuher studies as well as observation of measures being submitted through the Custom Effciency program. Some examples of emerging technologies include: · Solid state lighting · Smart strips · Hotel key card sensors In addition to emerging technologies, it is also important that IPC have the latest information about code requirements or other regulations that may pertain to EE measures. These general guidelines, coupled with the recommendations made below wil allow IPC to maximize its savings potentiaL. 4.3.1 Easy Upgrades As a prescriptive program, it is important that the Easy Upgrades program remain up to date with trends in equipment and code requirements. Nexant recommends a number of updates to the current program that wil help increase savings potential as well as ensure that IPC is achieving its expected savings. t-1NeQnT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-14 Section 4 Commercial Potential Current Measure Changes A number of currently offered measures did not pass the TRC or UC test and should be carefully evaluated by IPC to determine the best course of action. Nexant recommends that the following measures be reconsidered for inclusion in the current progrms: · Window shading film · Flat panel LCD display · Plug load occupancy sensor · High-efficiency coin-op washer wlo electrc water heating · Air-cooled multiplex system · Evaporative cooled multiplex system Nexant has found that these measures are either marginally cost effective or not cost effective at this time. Nexant recommends that IPC continue to evaluate their cost effectiveness in the future as changes in market forces may result in the measures becoming cost effective. As energy savings of multiplex systems can be highly variable, it is recommended that IPC accept this measure in its Custom Efficiency program to gather fuher data. Nexant recommends that the incentive for high-effciency coin-op washers wI electrc heating be lowered to $100 per unit, which is more in line with the incremental cost. The Easy Upgrades program uses the Consortium for Energy Effciency's (CEE) specifications as its minimum eligibility requirement for high effciency air conditioners and heat pumps. As of 2008 the federal minimum effciency requirement for air conditioners and heat pumps under five (5) tons has increased to 13 SEER as mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act. As a result of this change CEE increased the minimum efficiency requirement of air conditioners and heat pumps under 5 tons to reflect increases in federal code requirements. Since the Easy Upgrades program simply lists CEE specification as the minimum eligibility requirement, IPC can be sure that customers wil stil install above-code units. However, IPC should make sure that its expected energy savings are calculated using an updated baseline SEER value of 13. The Easy Upgrades program currently offers incentives for qualifying EnergyStar residential sized dishwashers. The specification listed on the incentive worksheet states that dishwashers much achieve an energy factor of 0.58 or higher. EnergyStar has since updated the requirement for qualifying products to 0.65 or higher. IPC should update this requirement and ensure that savings expectations reflect the current specification. Measure Additions Nexant has identified a number of measures to be included into the current Easy Upgrades program which wil increase the achievable savings potential by giving customers more options for upgrades. Detailed descriptions of all new measures are included in Appendix A. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has expanded its Premium Effciency rating to include motors sized from 250 hp to 500 hp. Nexant recommends that the '"'' Nexnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-15 Section 4 Commercial Potential Easy Upgrades motor measures category be expanded to include motors in this size range. Additionally, it is recommended that escalator motor controllers be added to the motor program. Total achievable savings from the addition of these measures could reach 1.7 GWh by 2019. Nexant recommends that LED case lighting be added to the Easy Upgrades grocery measure category. LED lighting can save significant energy over standard fluorescent lighting. Inclusion of this measure in the Easy Upgrades program wil result in energy savings of 40 MWh by 2019. Roughly 5% ofIPC's commercial electrcity sales are going to dairy farms. While dairy farms may be eligible for a small number of the currently offered measures, there are many agrculture specific measures which can boost the total achievable potentiaL. Nexant recommends the following measures be added to the Easy Upgrades program: · High-efficiency stock tanks · Automatic milker take-offs · Block heater timers · High efficiency circulating fans · High-effciency ventilation systems · Programmable ventilation controllers · Variable speed drives on dairy vacuum pumps For complete agrculture measure descriptions please see Appendix A. It is estimated that these measures can achieve a total savings of 1.7 GWh by 2019. It is recommended that open-loop ground source heat pumps be added too the HV AC measure category, and 8-lamp T5HO fixtures be added to the lighting program. These measures wil save 27.8 MWh and 266.6 MWh by 2019 respectively. It was found that a small number of food service measures passed the TRC test include ice makers, ventilation hoods, and hot food holding cabinets. However, lacking a substantial group of measures with which to combine them into a program, these measures are not recommended at this time. IPC should monitor these measures through the Custom Effciency program, and reevaluate them in the future. 4.3.2 Building Effciency The Building Effciency program has been successfully providing IPC with energy savings since 2005. The measures offered through this program a defined in general terms to allow for maximum flexibility of constrction and measure implementation. The measure eligibility for lighting and HV AC systems is defined in relation to code requirements. This means that savings can be achieved even when code baselines are increased. It is important therefore, that IPC remain up to date on current code requirements. As mentioned above, the current code requirement for air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling capacity smaller than five (5) tons has recently been increased to 13 SEER. IPC should i,1Nexanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-16 Section 4 Commercial Potential update its expected savings for Premium Effciency HV AC Units to reflect this increased baseline. At this time Nexant has no recommendations for the addition of any measures to this program. Finally, Nexant recommends that the incentive for effcient complex cooling systems be reduced to $75 per ton per point of COP above code. Taking this action wil make this measure cost effective and allow IPC to continue to benefit from the energy savings of this measure. i.'JNeanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 4-17 Section 5 Industrial Potential 5.1 SUMMARY OF INDUSTRIAL POTENTIAL The industral sector comprises a total of 17% ofIPC's electricity sales and 15% ofthe total load. While the industrial sector includes a minimal number of customers, the energy intensive processes and high biled demand of each customer allow for a significant amount of DSM potentiaL. At the forefront of electricity consumption is the food processing sector which consumes just over half of the industrial electrcity sales. General manufacturing and the electronics industr make up an additional quarter of industral sales, while the remainder of consumption goes to large commercial customers. IPC has developed and implemented the Custom Effciency program for the industral sector. This program pays customers incentives proportional to the electrcity savings from each project. Nexant believes that this type of program is effective in capturing the energy savings from industrial measures which are often to complex or variable to be streamlined into a prescriptive incentive program. The industral DSM achievable potential is highly dependant on customer adoption rates which vary directly with the utility incentive offering. Nexant has developed four (4) incentive scenarios to calculate the industral achievable potentiaL. The scenarios calculate the potential savings from offering a low, moderate, aggressive, or maximum incentive, which represent payment of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of customer costs respectively. Industral achievable potential energy savings in 2009 range from 33 GWh under a low incentive scenario to 57 GWh with the maximum incentive scenario.

On a 2019 timeline the numbers climb up to 49 GWh and 85 GWh respectively.

Baseline energy consumption was calculated according to sector (food processing, manufacturing, electronics, etc.) and end-use (motors, HVAC, lighting, etc.) to best captue the character ofIPC's industral electrcity usage. As the industrial DSM program is based on custom measures, overall savings potentials were calculated for each end-use. Nexant applied the savings potentials to the baseline energy consumption and incorporated sector market penetration rates to calculate the overall achievable potentiaL. 5.2.2 Baseline Energy Consumption IPC's total industrial consumption is split between 18 different functions as described by IPC. Nexant aggregated the customers into the following set of 12 commonly recognized sectors: · Data Center · Manufacturing · Electronics · Offce · Education · Public Assembly · Food Processing · Public Order and Safety · Health · Warehouse/Storage · Lodging · Water Process IPC provided the electricity usage and function for all its industrial customers. This data was used to calculate each sector's share of total industrial consumption. Nexant then identified seven (7) end-uses common to industral and large commercial facilities. The following end-uses were identified for each sector: .Refrigeration .Process Heating .HVAC .Motors .Lighting .Compressed Air .Cooking The breakdown of electricity consumption by end-use for each sector was determined using data from the US Departent of Energy's Energy Information Administration, the California Energy Commission's Commercial End-use Surey, and other sector specific end-use reports. The end- use breakdown percentages were applied to the sector shares to determine the baseline consumption by sector and end-use. i.1Nexanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 5-7 Section 5 Industrial Potential 5.2.3 End-Use Savings Potential Savings potential for the industral sector was calculated by end-use, rather than specific measure as was the case for the residential and commercial sectors. This was deemed an appropriate method due to the scope and variability of effcient measures that can be employed in the industrial sector. Electricity Savings IPC provided the results from a number of audits performed on some of its largest industral customers. The data from these audits provided a starting point in developing the estimated energy savings percents for each end-use. Data from other industrial DSM studies supplemented the audits to provide lists of potential industral measures for each end-use. Final end-use savings estimates were calculated by aggregating the measures based on their deemed applicabilty. Average 'measure lifetimes' were also determined for each end-use. The end-use savings are generally consistent though the sectors as the measures are typically applicable across the board. Variation of savings estimates between sectors occurred in the motor end-use. The food processing, manufacturing, and electronics sectors all involve motor processes that make them eligible for additional motor measures. As the industral model is based on the Custom Effciency program, no specific measures were screened for cost effectiveness. The cost effectiveness of any given measure will be variable across the industral sector, which is why an aggregated savings percentage was calculated. To calculate economic potential, the ratio of economic potential to technical potential was averaged across a number of industral potential studies. Demand Savings To calculate potential demand savings Nexant calculated the ratio ofkW reduction per kWh saved. This ratio was based on program logs provided by IPC which document actual savings from custom projects in 2007. These logs were supplemented with historical logs ofPacifiCorp's Industrial Energy FinAnswer and Self Direction Credit programs in Utah which will include similar measures to IPC's Custom Effciency program. Demand savings ratios were calculated for each end-use. 5.2.4 Market Penetration The achievable potential savings are calculated by applying the end-use savings potential to the baseline energy consumption and incorporating a market penetration rate for each sector. Market Penetration by Sector The market penetration rate can be defined as the percentage of customers who choose to install energy effcient measures out of the total number of eligible customers. Nexant developed market penetration curves using historical program data from IPC and PacifiCorp. ""Nexan Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 5-8 Section 5 Industrial Potential Market penetration oflPC's Custom Effciency progrm has grown steadily in five (5) years since its inception. A logarithmic regression of the program's market penetration was developed to predict program growth in the coming years. Figure 5.10 shows the market penetration IPC has achieved since the start of the program.

This program closely matches IPC's Custom Effciency program and Nexant believes that the savings and participation achieved though this program are a good indication of the savings and participation achievable through IPC's customer base. The Energy FinAswer program has been in existence for eight (8) years and provides a valuable resource for forecasting IPC's market penetration. A baseline market penetration rate curve was developed by incorporating the data available from IPC and PacifiCorp. This curve was created with the assumption that program growth wil follow its current trend for four (4) years, followed by a transition to the growth calculated for the Energy FinAswer program which provides a deeper prospective for program forecasting. The 2007 Custom Effciency logs provided by IPC were used to calculate the market penetration rate for each sector. The baseline market penetration forecast curve was applied to this data to develop a curve for each sector. Table 5-3 shows the forecasted market penetration rate broken down by sector through 2019. Note that in this baseline curve the warehouse/store sector has achieved the maximum expected penetration rate. A complete market penetration rate forecast through 2028 is provided in Appendix C.

As utilities offer greater incentives, measure payback periods decrease and customers are more likely to participate in the energy effciency DSM program. To calculate achievable savings potential under different incentive scenarios, the correlation between market penetration and incentive level was established. Based on a 2006 survey of PacifiCorp customers, it was found that market penetration rates grow quickly as the incentive level grows from 0 to 50 percent of customer cost, but increase at a slower rate as incentive levels reach 75% and above. This correlation was used to develop a market penetration rate curve for low, moderate, aggressive, and maximum incentive scenarios. 5.2.5 Program Economics Once the industrial savings potential was calculated, Nexant used its experience with similar DSM programs to estimate the program economics. Customer Cost Customer costs are the costs required by the customer to install an energy efficient measure. Nexant developed levelized customer cost estimates for each end-use on a dollar per kWh saved basis. A large database of historical projects was created with the Custom Effciency logs provided by IPC and data from PacifiCorp's Energy FinAswer and Self Direction Credit programs. The levelized customer cost was applied to the savings potential for each end-use to calculate the total customer cost. Admin Cost Admin costs represent an important piece in determining overall progrm cost effectiveness. These costs include the costs incurred by the utility to design, market, administer, verify, and otherwise run a DSM program. Nexant calculated a levelized admin cost curve to forecast the total expenditures required to run the Custom Effciency program. The current admin costs were calculated with the total utility cost reported in the 2007 DSM Annual Report minus the total incentives paid. Based on experience with the Energy FinAnswer and Self Direction Credit t."'NexQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 5-10 Section 5 Industrial Potential programs, N exant has found that the levelized admin cost decays at a rate of 6.1 % per program year. This rate was applied to IPC's current expenditures to determine the administrative costs through the 2028 forecast period. Avoided Cost A voided costs are essentially the expenditures saved by the utility from electrcity savings and reduced demand. IPC provided market price forecasts through 2035 for each pricing period. Electrcal usage load shapes for each end-use by sector were calculated based on data from the Regional Technical Forum and other DSM studies. This data was used to determine the avoided cost of supply for each end-use by sector. A discount rate of 8% was used to calculate the total avoided cost over the lifetime of the savings. 5.3 INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS The Custom Efficiency progrm has provided IPC with reliable energy savings since its inception and Nexant believes that it wil continue to be an integral part ofIPC's DSM resource. As the program is built upon custom efficiency measures, the savings potential wil evolve with emerging technologies, Nexant can make no recommendations regarding specific measures. However, steps should be taken to ensure that IPC achieves savings as close to its potential as possible. With a custom efficiency program, utilities are capped at a set economic savings potentiaL. Where a prescriptive program may add eligible measures to increase potential, customers participating in a custom program essentially have the ability to receive rebates for all viable measures. To increase achievable potential of the Custom Efficiency program, IPC should focus its efforts on improving market penetrtion rates. In the industrial sector, informational market barrers are often as significant as financial market barrers in accounting for low baseline penetration rates and so reliance solely on incentives is generally insufficient. To act directly on informational market barriers, a commonly used program element is to feature active outreach though account representatives and technical support contractors to help identify and develop potential energy savings projects. A selection of case studies that highlight successful energy effciency projects is also useful to lower customers' perceptions of risk or technology performance. While the food processing sector commands the majority of consumption, it only has the fourth highest market penetration rate by sector. This indicates that although significant savings are achieved by this sector, there remains room for increased energy savings. Additionally, the manufacturing sector has the second highest share of consumption at 14.1 %, but only contrbutes 3% of the energy savings in 2009 due to its low market penetration rate. Improving market penetration rates can be a diffcult balance of incentives, marketing, customer service, and a myriad of other factors. According to a 2006 survey the most common barrers to participation in DSM programs are lack of awareness and lack of time. Based on this input, IPC should continue its operation of the Custom Efficiency program with increased emphasis on program marketing and improved ease of participation. e:1Nuanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 5-11 Section 6 Irrigation Potential 6.1 SUMMARY OF IRRIGATION POTENTIAL The irrgation sector consumes annually 1,606,000 MWh, 12% ofIPC total sales for an average load of 183 aMW. The Irgation Efficiency Rewards program targets energy effciency improvements in this sector. It encourages customers to acquire energy effcient pumps and motors as well as energy saving irrgation equipment. With no detailed information available regarding both the quantity of irrgation equipment installed on IPC terrtory and its operating condition (impacting energy consumption), a bottom- up approach, like the one adopted for the residential sector, was not adapted to the irrgation sector. Nexant instead chose to utilize a top-down approach to forecast the remaining energy saving potential available in the irrgation sector. The top-down approach considered three parameters to evaluate the remaining potential: · The percentage of kWh saved each year compared to the total irrgation electrc sales. Compared to typical numbers achieved by other utilities, this percentage gives an idea of the remaining potential available · The number of customer enrolled each year compared to the theoretical annual turnover stock · The number of irrgation energy effciency measures available compared to neighboring utilities The three parameters are characterized as follows: the Irgation Effciency Rewards program has been very successful so far-12,304 MWh saved in 2007 with only 819 participants. This represents 0.76% of the irrgation sector energy sales. The average energy efficiency program in the US usually saves between 0.1% and 0.8% of the total electrcity sales. Utilities which have been ahead of the energy efficiency cure, like PG&E in California can reach 1 % of the total electrcity sales saved anually. The progrm clearly creates a level of energy savings above the average in IPC terrtory. The success of the progrm is due in part to the fact that an average irrgation customer consumes i 10 MW annually when a residential customer consumes only 13MWh. This creates both economies of scale for marketing efforts and a greater incentive for each individual customer whose annual electric bil is ten times higher than a residential customer's. Considering the fact that the irrgation sector encompasses about 15,300 customers and that irrgation measures typically have lifetimes ranging from 5 to 15 years, the number of systems undergoing replacement each year is comprised between 1,000 and 3,000. With 1,235 customers in 2006 and 819 in 2007, the program probably reached between 50% and 80% of the customers who renewed their equipment those years. The program has seen a steep increase in its participation rate since its offcial launch in 2005. The extremely high levels of participant enrolments are probably transitory and wil not last over the years. Thorough market research of the programs offered by the Bonnevile Power Administration, Pacificorp and PG&E shows that ¡PC is already ahead of the curve in terms of irrgation energy Section 5 Industrial Potential efficiency measure portolio. IPC has one of the most comprehensive set of energy efficiency irrgation measures in the Northwest. The set of measures targets all components of the irrigation chain: piping, wheel levelers, goosenecks, gaskets, pressure regulators, nozzles. Nexants market research and the high market penetration rates mentioned above are the sign that all of the available potential is captured each year in the irrgation sector. Nexant does not recommend implementation of new energy efficiency progrms in the irrigation sector. For all those reasons, Nexant forecasts stabilization or more likely a small decline in the Irgation Efficiency Rewards program enrollment and savings in the coming years. i1NeQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 6-2 Section 7 Demand Response Potential 7.1 SUMMARY OF DEMAND RESPONSE POTENTIAL IPC has considerable opportnities for demand response growth. Nexant estimates the total available demand response potential to be 168 MW. This potential represents 5% ofIPC's current peak load. It would be available at levelized costs ranging from $1O/kW-yr to $50/kW-yr. IPC currently has two demand response programs which have provided a total of 48.2 MW of peak demand reduction in 2007: 37.4 MW and 947 customers (about 40 kW/customer) for the Irrgation Peak Rewards program, 10.8 MWand 13,692 customers (about 1 kW/customer) for the AlC Cool Credit program. With a forecasted peak demand of 3,240 MW in 2008, those two programs are able to shed 1.5% of the peak load. Nexant performed a demand response potential analysis to determine ifIPC had already captured all its demand response potential or if there was remaining untapped potentiaL. After a screening process of IPC's customer segments, it appears that two new progrms could be launched and that additional potential could be captured through the existing programs. The AlC Cool Credit program total potential is close to 60 MW while the Irgation Peak Rewards program has a total potential of 50 MW. Those numbers include the potential already captured as of 2008. The total untapped potential in those two programs as of 2007 would thus amount to about 60 MW. Nexant believes there is the same amount of untapped potential (59 MW) in the commercial and industrial sectors. Both sectors could be fertile grounds for the implementation of a curtailable rates program or a demand buyback program. The commercial sector has 34 MW of potential while the industrial sector has 25 MW of potential. Drawing upon its experience with PG&E demand response programs in California, Nexant stands by those numbers as reasonable and achievable. The sectors' potentials are summarized in the chart below. Demand Response Potential 70 60 50 40 ¡¡ 30 20 10 o Industrial Comercial Irrgation Residential AC Cycling Figure 7.1 - Demand Response Potential Section 7 Demand Response Potential The market penetrations and assumptions used in this study are derived from the experience gathered by several utilities (Pacificorp, Southern California Edison, Florida Light and Power) during the last decade. The calculation methodology is detailed in the next section. 7.2 DEMAND RESPONSE POTENTIAL MODEL To estimate demand response potential, Nexant chose to consider three types of possible programs: · Fully dispatchable: this type of program is often referred to as direct load control. It reduces the demand in summer peak periods by shutting down air conditioning equipments or by reducing their cycling time. Pacificorp runs a Utah's Cool AC Load Control Program and major Californian investor-owned utilities run air conditioner load control programs as well. · Curtailable rates: this type of contract requires that the customer shed a given load when requested by the utility. The utility provides either rate discounts or incentives. The customer is financially penalized ifhe fails to shed the load. Those programs are well adapted to large commercial and industral customers. · Demand buyback: also called demand bidding. With this tye of program, the customer does not have any requirement to shed load. The customer can choose to participate on an event- by-event basis. An incentive is paid to the customer based on the price difference between the utility rate and the electrcity market price. Different programs have inherently different market penetration potentials and different capital and operating costs. Each type of program can also not be applied to all tyes of sectors. For instance demand buyback, which requires a bidding process, can not be implemented in the residential sector. Before estimating demand response potential, Nexant determined which type of program was best adapted to each sector. The residential sector's best fit is clearly a direct load control program. Several utilities demand response programs were reviewed by Nexant for comparison. Since very few such programs have been evaluated, it was not possible to assess the influence on DR potential of parameters such as local climate. Nexant chose to use the average of the participation rates observed for the same programs in different utilities terrtories. For residential programs, Florida Power & Light achieved penetration rates of 19% while Utah Cool Keeper participation rate reached 27%. Nexant chose to forecast a 20% penetration rate for Idaho Power territory. For the irrgation sector a system of scheduled load shedding was assumed. Customers subscribe in advance for specific days and hours when their irrgation systems wil be turned off. Programs researched include BP A Irgation Scheduling Program and PacifiCorp Irgation Program. The situation is different for the commercial and the industral sectors where curtail able rates and demand buyback are more applicable. For its analysis, Nexant chose to assume implementation of a curtailable rate program for the commercial and industrial sectors. This draws upon past experiences that have shown that curtailable rate programs have inherently more potential than í-'1NexQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 7-2 Section 7 Demand Response Potential demand buyback programs. Nevertheless, IPC wil be free to propose the one or the other option (curtilable rates versus demand buyback) to its customers depending on their needs. The demand response potential analysis unfolds in five successive steps: · Total base peak load must be estimated for the sector being considered. As an example, the base peak load for the residential sector will be restrcted to the cooling load only since it is the load targeted by the AlC Cool Credit progrm. · Eligibility rates are applied to the total base peak load to calculate how much of that load is eligible for demand response programs, for instance, among large industral facilities only those with loads over 250 kW wil be targeted by a demand buyback program. · Technical load impact rates are applied to the potential calculated in step 2. The technical load impact is the percent reduction in load resulting from the program. For instance, if 90% of the residential cooling load can be shed (10% margin for equipment failure) and if a 50% cycling strategy is applied, then 45% (90%*50%) of the load can technically be shed. · Program participation rates are applied to the technical load calculated in step 3. Participation rates are calculated as the percentage of customers who enroll in the program. · Event participation rates are the last factor to be considered. It accounts for the fact that only a fraction of the people enrolled in the program wil actually participate on the demand response day. Those participation rates can vary widely, from 100% for residential AlC load cycling programs to 13% for curtailable rate programs targeting industral customers. All the parameters defined above have been summarized in Table 7-1. t-1Neanr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 7-3 Section 7 Demand Response Potential Table 7.1 Rates Summary A ~ec:t()r %EUgifjilt~Iec:nnløal :lC!aCl Imlaøt Program participation Event partieipatlÐll Irriaation 100%30%20%100% Residential AC Cycling 100%45%20%100% Industrial 80%30%25%90% Commercial 60%25%25%90% As mentioned above, a curtailable rates program has been assumed for the industral and commercial sectors.

Table 7-4 shows the steps in the calculation.

Table 7.5 Levelized Costs ($/kW) Sector Cost lilRWp Irrigation $12 Residential AC Cycling $57 Industrial $30 Commercial $16 , Levelized costs are calculated over the life of the proram. All programs combined wil yield a total potential close to l70MW at prices ranging from 10 to 50$/kW-yr. Nexants recommendations for each program are developed in more details in the following sections. 7.3.2 AlC Cool Credit The A/C Cool Credit Program has considerable room for growth, due in part to the fact that the residential sector is the biggest contrbutor to the peak demand. The total potential is in the range of60 MW, for a levelized cost of$57/kW-yr. IPC wil have to recruit approximately 80,000 customers to reach this target. This target is high in absolute terms but represents only 20% of IPC residential base. This is in line with other utilities' program participation rates. FP&L achieved 19% on its residential demand response program. PAC Utah Cool Keeper has reached an even higher penetration rate of 27%. 7.3.3 Irrigation Peak Rewards The Irrigation Peak Rewards program was highly successful with a very high penetration rate of about 19.5% in 2007 (947 projects out of 4,852 eligible irrgation electrcal accounts). The program provides peak demand savings at a price of$12/kW-yr. Nexant believes there is stil a small margin for growt in this sector. Capturing it wil be one of the objectives of the 2009 new fully dispatchable irrgation pilot program. 7.3.4 Commercial Program Based on its experience with PG&E demand response program, Nexant estimates that there is an untapped demand response potential of 34 MW in the commercial sector that can be captured at a levelized cost of $ 16/kW-yr. In the retail sector, marketing efforts aimed at supermarket chains and big box retailers in California have yielded significant amount of peak demand savings. The two main underlying reasons are as follows: the load shed per store is usually large, close to 95 c,1NeOØT Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 7-5 Section 7 Demand Response Potential kW (approximately the load shed by 200 residential customers) and the efforts to implement demand response in one store can rapidly scale to the company's other stores. PG&E currently has a large commercial customer with more than 50 stores involved in demand response. The program includes HVAC system temperature setback and lighting measures. All the stores' loads can be shed simultaneously directly from the corporate headquarter. A straightforward calculation shows that targeting the 11 Albertson's stores in IPC terrtory would create 550 kW of demand savings (55 kW potential per store were assumed for middle size stores). Targeting the 31 Wal-Mart on IPC terrtory would yield close to 3 MW of demand savings. The calculations for the commercial potential consider a curtailable rate program because it is the best fit for large commercial customers. Nexant also estimates that there might be a non negligible potential in a Small Commercial A/C Cycling program. IPC could build on the experience gathered managing its two existing load cycling programs to create such a program. Our participation rates estimates are based on different programs: Dominion Virginia Power Curtailable Service, Duke Curtailable Service Pilot, Southern California Edison C&I Base Interrptible Program. 7.3.5 Industrial Program Our analysis shows a 25 MW potential for the industrial sector for a levelized cost of$30/kW. However, Nexant wants to emphasize that demand response potential forecasts for industral customers always bear a greater uncertainty than in other sectors. This is due to the fact that the low number of customers does not provide an averaging effect that usually reduces uncertinty. Additionally, the demand response potential is very dependent upon the processes implemented at each facility. Unlike residential and commercial sectors were the tyical target end-uses are HV AC loads, no typical end-uses can be targeted in an industr until an energy audit has been performed onsite to identify the loads that would be eligible for a demand response program. If an industrial demand response program is created on IPC terrtory, Nexant recommends the demand response measures to be tailored to each industral facility specifically. Wineries and high-tech industr have been among the biggest industral players in PG&E demand response arena. Past projects have created peak demand savings ranging from 500kW for high tech up to 4 MW for some wineries. Some projects have also targeted frozen food storage facilities were a tyical demand response measure consists in reducing the duty cycle of the chilers during demand response events. The thermal inertia of the frozen food in the warehouse usually gives room for peak demand savings without increasing the warehouse temperature significantly. 7.3.6 Aggregators IPC could explore the possibility of running a capacity bidding progrm with an aggregator. The aggregator wil charge a premium to run the program, but may be able to deliver a MW target more cost-effectively since they have acquired more demand response marketing expertise and may require less overhead. PG&E currently has ten aggregators operating a capacity bidding i.1NeQIJ Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 7-6 Section 7 Demand Response Potential program, and the market in California is highly competitive. The aggregators typically sign contracts to deliver a certain MW goal, and then they are responsible for developing a pedorming portfolio of demand response customers. Some utilities dislike the aggregated approach because it introduces a middle person between the utility and its largest customers. Given the small number of very large customers, it may be possible to target these accounts for demand response without hiring an aggregator. i.'1NeQnr Idaho Power Company - Demand Side Management Potential Study 7-7 Section 8 DSM Potential Simulation Model 8.1 MODEL SUMMARY As part of this DSM potential evaluation, Nexant constrcted a dynamic DSM simulation tool for each sector to allow IPC to make its own savings forecasts based on variable inputs. The simulation tool is framed as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which Nexant believes provides IPC with the most transparent platform. 8.1.1 Model Outputs The model has the ability to calculate the technical, economic, and achievable electricity and demand savings by sub-sector and end-use. The model wil provide summaries of each potential in a given program year, as well as forecasts through 2028. The breakdown of savings is also presented according to DSM program. In addition to energy savings the tool also calculates the economics associated with each scenario. The model wil provide summaries of the following economic variables for a given program year: .Customer costs .Incentives .Admin costs .A voided costs .Total utility costs .Total resource costs .UC test .TRC benefit/cost ratio 8.1.2 Model Variables The simulation tool provides a simple interface which allows the user to modify key DSM variables such as: · Total sales and load forecasts · Wholesale electricity price forecasts · Line losses · Utility discount rates · Customer discount rates Additionally, the transparent nature of the spreadsheet model allows IPC to see all the variables and inputs that go into the DSM forecast. All calculation variables discussed for each primary sector are visible in the modeL. While these variables represent the result ofNexants research and experience, the user has the ability to make modifications if new data becomes available or different scenarios are to be calculated.

PROGRAM TARIFF...........................................................................................................................78 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Idaho Power is addressing their growing energy demands with a robust portfolio of energy efficiency and demand response programs. Idaho Power's A/C Cool Credit program specifically addresses this growing residential HVAC demand imposed on the electrical system by a growing population. In the summer of 2009, the program had over 32,000 participants. Of these participants, 3,594 are in cooling zone 2 (Twin Falls area) and 28,465 are in cooling zone 3 (Boise/Mountain Home area). The program's function is to shift some of the HVAC demand contributing to the utility's system peak away from the peak hours by implementing curtailment strategies. The curtailment strategies limit the time each HVAC unit may operate within each 30 minute period ofthe curtailment period. In order to measure the program achievements during the 2009 season, Idaho Power collected runtime and temperature data and contracted Paragon Consulting Services (Paragon) to perform the analysis of the data. The measured demand reduction of the main cooling zone populations, CZ 2 and CZ 3, was an average of 0.196 and 0.394kW, respectively for all curtailments. This results in an average demand reduction per curtailment of 11,919 kW for the entire program. This was well below the expected demand reduction of 0.8 - 1.2kW per unit found in other utilty studies. It is expected that this is due to a large number of units naturally operating below the enforced duty cycle of the curtailments. The similarity between the 33% cycling and 50% cycling demand reduction also supports this assumption. The results for the CZ 3- Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) sub group, however, do meet the expected demand reduction levels of typical HVAC curtailment programs with an average demand reduction of 1. 164kW for all curtailments. In fact, the demand reduction for this sub group was fairly constant over the outdoor temperature range of the curtailments. This suggests that these HVAC units operate near a 100% duty cycle when the outdoor temperature rises above 88°F. Upon inspection of the demand reduction charts presented in Appendix A, it appears possible that the curtailment events began one hour earlier than reported. If this is found to be true, making the adjustment would result in greater demand reduction values. The indoor temperature results corroborated the demand reduction results. On average, most customers experienced a very modest temperature increase during a curtailment period. However, the indoor temperature analysis was limited in that no correlations could be made between indoor temperature fluctuations and demand reduction values. It would be valuable to compare these two analyses to determine if those customers who had no change in demand are the same customers who had the highest increase in indoor temperature. If this is the case, one could assume that these customers had their A/C unit turned off. The results of the duty cycle analysis show that on average for all curtailments, 52% of the customers had an average natural duty cycle below the enforced duty cycle of the curtailment at the beginning of the event. This means that the operation of the air conditioner was not altered by the curtailment. These customers are therefore free riders. 1 Idaho Power has built a large residential demand reduction resource; however, the conservative results for the 2009 summer season suggest the program may be operating below its potentiaL. The low measured demand reduction, minimal indoor temperature drift, and duty cycle analysis all support using a minimum of 50% cycling strategy in the future and even suggest testing 67% duty cycle curtailments to improve program load reduction results. Indoor temperature analysis should be continued along with customer surveys to maintain customer satisfaction with the program. 2 INTRODUCTION As the number of residential HVAC systems increases in the U.S., so does summer-time energy use. Use of HVAC systems greatly increases electrical demand, and places burdens on Power Supply, Power Contracts, and T&D departments as the utility tries to match the need. Many utilities have embarked on Demand Reduction programs that team the utilty and its customers to curtail HVAC use in times of demand stress. Idaho Power is addressing their growing energy demands with a robust portfolio of energy efficiency and demand response programs. Idaho Powers A/C Cool Credit program specifically addresses this growing residential HVAC demand imposed on the electrical system by a growing population. In the summer of 2009, the program had 32,059 participants. Of these participants, 3,594 are in cooling zone 2 (Twin Falls area) and 28,465 are in cooling zone 3 (Boise/Mountain Home area). The A/C Cool Credit program is a demand response program operated from June through August, which offers a monthly bil credit to participants. The guidelines for the program are contained in the program tariff, Schedule 81 (see Appendix D). The program is open to Idaho Power residential customers with central air conditioning systems. The program's function is to shift some of the HVAC demand contributing to the utilty's system peak off of the peak hours by implementing curtailment strategies. The curtailment strategies limit the time each HVAC unit may operate within each 30 minute period of the curtailment period. Curtailment periods typically last around three hours and begin around 4pm in the afternoon. The utility places limits on the curtailment events for customer satisfaction. Two examples of these customer satisfaction limits are that curtailments may only occur on non-holiday weekdays and are limited to no more than 40 hours per month with the exception of a system emergency. 2009 PROGRAM PERFORMANCE In order to measure the program achievements during the 2009 season, Idaho Power collected runtime and temperature data and contracted Paragon Consulting Services (Paragon) to perform the analysis of the data. Data Collection Idaho Power placed runtime data loggers on 57 HVAC compressors, 30 units in cooling zone 2 and 27 units in cooling zone 3, at program participant homes to measure HVAC runtime. To measure the program's effect on customer comfort, 42 of those homes also received a temperature data logger to measure the indoor temperature during curtailments. The sample of 27 HVAC units in cooling zone 3 included 10 units located at the Mountain Home Air Force Base. Due to the unique nature of the Air Force Base homes and the fact that these homes are not individually billed for their electricity use, Paragon analyzed these units separately from the remaining units in cooling zone 3. 3 During either the logger installation or removal, technicians collected model number and some nameplate data on each unit, including SEER, tonnage, volts, amps, and unit age. This data was used to determine the kW load of each air conditioning compressor. Idaho Power provided the exported runtime and temperature data along with the collected HVAC nameplate data to Paragon for analysis. This report presents that analysis and discussion. Baseline Day Determination To estimate the load reduction achieved during load curtailments, the average hourly load from each event day was compared against averaged hourly load developed from non-curtailment days selected for the baseline. Outdoor Temperature Data Hourly outdoor temperature data was collected from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) historical weather archives. Weather data for both baseline and curtailment days was incorporated into the averaged load profiles to provide an indication of the effect of ambient temperature on the behavior of the air conditioning load. In addition, weather data shows the similarity in weather profiles between baseline and test days. In order to effectively compare the baseline and curtailment day load chart, the baseline load chart was adjusted using an offset factor. The offset factor was calculated as the difference in kW between the baseline and performance load during the hour prior to the start of the curtailment. This offset factor ensures that underlying differences in load due to slight differences in outdoor temperature or other external factors were taken into account. Load Management Model All of this data was input into Paragon's load management model for demand reduction, energy savings, snapback energy, and outdoor temperature comparisons. The HVAC nameplate data was used to determine the kW load for each air conditioner unit. The load management model converted the interval runtime data, compressor kW load data and temperature data into average load charts for each sample, for each day. The charts present the hourly average kW load as a function of hourly bins. These averaged load charts provide a composite representation of the entire air conditioner load profile for each sample group included in the analysis. Snapback The purpose of most imposed curtailments is to limit the air conditioner duty cycle to a "not to exceed" operating leveL. In this way, the operating time of air conditioners is reduced, the average kW demand is reduced, and the energy consumption of the system is reduced for the duration of the curtailment period. After the curtailment period ends, however, the air conditioner run-time and energy consumption generally increase to make up for the cooling deficit incurred during the curtailment period. This period generally lasts from one to three hours, depending on the time of day, length, and severity of the curtailment. An analysis was performed to evaluate the energy reduction achievable during curtailment periods, and the corresponding energy snapback occurring during the post- curtailment period. 4 Energy snapback is defined as the additional energy, in kWh, required to recover from a utility generated air conditioner curtailment event. Demand snapback was reviewed as welL. It is simply the demand increase over the baseline demand once the event is completed. The energy snapback percentage provides Idaho Power an indication of kWh sales recovery following the end of a curtailment period. The equation used assumes most of the snapback is captured within the 2 hour period post-curtailment. As noted above, however, this snapback period may be shorter or longer depending on the specific curtailment events imposed by Idaho Power. Snapbacks are typically expressed between 0% and 100%. For example, if a customer saved 1.0 kWh during a curtailment event, but then immediately after the event required 0.6 kWh above baseline conditions to restore the desired temperature levels in the home, this would be considered a 60% snapback. In other words, 60% of the energy saved during the curtailment was "lost" during the snapback period. Energy Savings (kWh) In addition to reporting snapback energy, actual kWh energy savings is reported. To obtain the load reduction and energy snapback resulting from a cycling event, air conditioner operating data for the event day and average data from selected non-event baseline days is tabulated for comparison. Load data in kW is averaged over one-hour periods and presented as average hourly demand for one hour time bins for both the event day and non-event day conditions. The load data summed over the duration of the curtailment event results in the kWh energy consumption for that period. The difference between the baseline energy and event day energy results in the energy savings attributable to the curtailment event. By taking into account the hours of the snapback period, the net kWh energy savings for that curtailment day is calculated. DEMAND REDUCTION ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The HVAC compressor runtime data was collected using Dent Instrument's SMARTloggerâ„¢ series CTloggerâ„¢ as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Dent Instrument's SMARTloggerâ„¢ series CTloggerâ„¢ These loggers record the state (on/off) of the measured device, in this case the HVAC compressor, by continually monitoring the signal of a split core current transformer (CT) clamped around the electrical 5 supply wire to the HVAC compressor unit. The data loggers were set to record the on/off state with a time stamp in internal memory at a specified 1-minute interval until the memory was full or the data was collected. In order to determine the demand (kW) reduction the HVAC compressor demand was also collected. The compressor demand was calculated using current and voltage measured using a hand-held multimeter and an assumed power factor of 0.89. If current and voltage measurements were not available the unit's nameplate data was used. Equation 1 shows this calculation. Equation 1: Nameplate Demand Calculation Demand (kW) = 12/(SEER*0.9) The demand reduction is calculated by first converting the logger data into hourly average demand data for each HVAC unit. Then the hourly data of the group is averaged for each curtailment day to find the test day average kW. The non-test day average kW, or baseline kW, is calculated as the average of the three days with the greatest demand selected from the previous ten non-test weekdays. The three baseline days are ranked by the greatest hourly demand that occurs during the curtailment period. In order to make a proper comparison of the test day demand and the baseline demand the baseline demand must be adjusted. The adjustment method used in this analysis was to scale each baseline hour by the percentage difference of the test day demand and the baseline demand in the hour preceding the curtailment. This adjustment helps to account for differences in weather and the number of HVAC units operating. POPULA TlONSAMPLE The population sample consisted of 57 residential customers within Idaho Power's service territory. This population was stratified by two cooling zones CZ 2 and CZ 3. Outdoor temperature data for Boise was used to represent CZ 2 while the temperature data for Twin Falls was used to represent CZ 3. The CZ 3 stratum was further divided into two groups expecting a difference in behavior from the units located at the Mountain Home Air Force Base from the civilian population. These two groups are CZ 3_CIVIL and CZ 3_MHAFB. The stratum sizes are presented inTable 1. Table 1: Count of Sample Population by Strata Strata Number of Units CZ2 30 6 DEMAND REDUCTION RESULTS The measured runtime and demand was analyzed to determine the achieved demand reduction of the sample. Two curtailment strategies were used during the measurement period, 33% and 50% cycling. Cycling curtailment strategies disallow the HVAC compressor to operate for some percentage of every half hour during the curtailment period. The 33% and 50% cycling strategies curtail 10 and 15 minutes per half hour, respectively. Idaho Power conducted seven curtailments during this measurement period. Table 2 shows these dates and curtailment strategies. Table 2: Curtailment Events The following figures show the graphical representation of the hourly test day and baseline demand as well as the average hourly outdoor temperature for both a 33% cycling curtailment day and a 50% cycling curtailment day. The figures shown here clearly reveal the demand reduction during the curtailment period. Charts for each group and curtailment event are shown in Appendix A. 7 Figure 2: Demand Reduction Chart for 33% Cycling Strategy Group:cz 3_MHAFB 7/1612099 :mciline4.7PM load impad Data Summary ¡Per Ale Unit!: Peak Demand Reduction: 1,261kW 4.00 3.00 3.00 l 2.500 ..c: l 2.00 l .i 1.51)( t.oo O.SO 0,00 11 U 13 14 lS 16 17 18 HI 20 12Q.O 105.() 90.0 .. l..75.0 ~..

The first, Table 3, presents the average demand reduction by curtailment strategy and groups. The tables show the average demand reduction of each hour of the curtailment as well as the average over the curtailment duration. The final column identifies the demand reduction of the first hour following a curtailment. A negative value in this column is expected and indicates the HVAC system's recovery to normal operation also known as snapback. For all groups, the demand reduction achieved during the 7/23/2009 curtailment event was not included in the averages. This was due to erratic weather during the curtailment period in which the temperature dropped approximately 7 degrees. 9 Table 3: Cycling Strategy Average Demand Reduction (kW) by Group 10 Table 4Table 4 reveals an added level of detail by presenting the average demand reduction by date. It can be seen there is very little consistency within any group, even with the same strategy. This is most likely due to the limited number of curtailments and small sample sizes. 11 Table 4: Average Demand Reduction (kW) Data 12 OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE DATA The temperature characteristics during the curtailment period for each curtailment date and cooling zone is presented in Table 5. There is no correlation between outdoor temperature and load reduction. Table 5: Curtailment Period Outdoor Temperature ENERGY SA VINGS In addition to demand reduction there may also be energy (kWh) savings attributable to each curtailment. Because the energy consumption is typically greater than the baseline in the hours following a curtailment, known as the snapback period, the gross energy savings is the energy saved during the curtailment subtracted by the extra energy consumed during the snapback period. Also, because the snapback period may differ from one site to the next, an average snapback period of two hours following the curtailment was assumed for this analysis. Table 6 presents the average energy savings for each curtailment strategy by group. 13 Table 6: Average Energy Savings (kWh) by Curtailment Group and Cycling Strategy 14 INDOOR TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS During the 2009 AIC Cool Credit summer test season, indoor temperature data was collected on a subset of customers sampled for M&V. A total of 42 customers in Cooling Zone 3 were sampled for the indoor temperature analysis group. Data was unavailable for three customers, resulting in a total indoor temperature sample of 39 customers. Indoor temperature was recorded in an effort to determine how curtailment events affect the indoor temperature of a home. This allows the utility to analyze the impact of various curtailment strategies on indoor temperature in order to maximize load reduction while maintaining customer comfort levels. METHODOLOGY Indoor temperature was measured and recorded with a HOBO temperature logger (see Figure 4, below) placed inside the home. The HOBO logger samples and records the temperature data at predetermined intervals. For the 2009 summer season, the HOBO loggers were set to record the indoor temperature with a time stamp at five minute intervals. The data is stored in the HOBO device until the time of retrieval, at which point the data from each logger is downloaded into a comma separated values file. Figure 4: Example of HOBO Temperature Data Logger Indoor temperature was analyzed for each curtailment day in aggregate, to obtain average temperature changes, and at the individual level, to obtain frequencies of temperature differentials and temperature drift. Analyses include curtailment day versus baseline day comparisons, as well as within-customer comparisons on a curtailment day. Each analysis approach is discussed in detail, below, with accompanying charts and summary tables. AGGREGATE HOURLY INDOOR TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS AND RESULTS The indoor temperature data was aggregated across customers for each hour, resulting in average hourly indoor temperature across the sample for the entire summer season. These hourly averages were then examined for each curtailment day and compared to the same baseline days that were determined from the load reduction analysis. Although there is little variation in indoor temperature between curtailment days and baseline days, the data presented below was normalized in the hour prior to the start of the curtailment to allow an equalized comparison. 15 Of the seven curtailment events, three consisted of 33% cycling, only. These events occurred on 7/16/2009, 7/17/2009, and 7/23/2009. The hottest 33% cycling curtailment day occurred on 7/17/2009, with a maximum outdoor temperature of 99.9°F. The chart in Figure 5 shows the results for the indoor temperature analysis for this curtailment day.

For example, the 4:00 PM bin represents the average hourly data from 4:00 PM to 4:59 PM. The average hourly indoor temperature during the three hour curtailment fluctuated between 77.14°F and 77.98°F. On average, the greatest temperature differential during these hours between the curtailment day and the averaged baseline days was 0.95°F, and occurred in the final hour of the curtailment. The curtailment on the previous day, 7/16/2009, had similar indoor temperature results. The day was slightly cooler with a maximum daily temperature of 96.6°F, approximately 3°F cooler than 7/17/2009. On average, the greatest temperature differential between the curtailment day and the averaged baseline days between 4pm and 7pm was 1.12°F. As expected, this occurred in the final hour of the curtailment. A copy of the indoor temperature profile for 7/16/2009 is included in Appendix B. 16 The coolest 33% cycling curtailment day occurred on 7/23/2009, with a maximum outdoor temperature of 90.0°F. The maximum outdoor temperature during the hours of the curtailment was lower, at just 87.0°F. The combined effect of a cooler temperature day plus a conservative cycling strategy resulted in a very low temperature differential between the curtailment and baseline days. The chart in Figure 6 shows the results for the indoor temperature analysis for this curtailment day.

Test Day !! Baseline Day(s) As shown in the chart, the average hourly indoor temperature during the three hour curtailment had little temperature fluctuation, rising from 76.72°F to 77.21°F. On average, the greatest temperature differential during these hours between the curtailment day and the averaged baseline days was only 0.08°F, and occurred in the final hour of the curtailment. This small difference is likely due to the baseline days being hotter than the curtailment day, with a greater gain in indoor temperature than a cooler day. However, examining just the curtailment day also shows a modest increase in average hourly indoor temperature of approximately 0.5°F between the hour prior to and the final hour of the curtailment. Of the seven curtailment events, three consisted of 50% cycling, only. These events occurred on 7/20/2009, 7/21/2009, and 7/28/2009. The hottest 50% cycling curtailment day occurred on 7/21/2009, with a maximum outdoor temperature of 96.9°F. The chart in Figure 7 shows the results for the indoor temperature analysis for this curtailment day. 17 Figure 7: Average Hourly Indoor Temperature Profile for 7/21/2009 Curtailment versus Baseline Days 'I.................................................................._........................................._................................................................................................_._........_.............._................_................................................................................................................_.........................................1Group:CZ3I1 !j Cyjnc+7p I Avra InilrTempera Impa IperHOBQ WUdTest Da vers Noriied Baline Da Maximum Temperare Dirent DuñngCurlment: L34 OF II 78.5 CunenPerd g 2! 710 ~.. ~ 76.5 ~ ~ 76.0 .s,."i 5 75.5:i i 75.0 ~ L. 78.0 77.5 74.5 74.0 73.5 12:00 PM 1:00PM 2:00PM 3:00PM 4:00PM 5:00PM 6:00PM 7:00PM 8:00PM 9:00PM 10:00 PM . Test Day II Baseline Day(s) The average hourly indoor temperature during the three hour curtailment fluctuated between 76.94°F and 78.08°F. On average, the greatest temperature differential during these hours between the curtailment day and the averaged baseline days was L.34°F, and occurred in the final hour of the curtailment. This indoor temperature difference was the greatest observed difference in the average hourly curtailment versus baseline data. The curtailments on 7/20/2009 and 7/28/2009 showed indoor temperature increases of l.2rF and 0.67°F, respectively. The curtailment day on 7/27/2009 enforced both 33% (TWACS system) and 50% (Yukon system) cycling. The outdoor temperature on this day reached 88.9°F.The indoor temperature analysis results are shown in Figure 8. 18 Figure 8: Average Hourly Indoor Temperature Profile for 7/27/2009 Curtailment versus Baseline Days Group:CZ3 07127/0.50 CvclinglYukon) and 33% CVclingIIWCS).4-7pm Avera IndoorTemperaure Impa /PerHOBO Lor) Test Day versus Normalized Baeline Days Maximum Temperaure Differential DurlngCurtailment: 0.45 OF --l78.0 77.5 Curtailment Period 5: 77.0 2! ~ 8. 76.5 E f! l 76.0,.i::: ~ 75.5 i ~ 75.0 74.5 74.0 12:00PM 1:00PM 2:00PM 3:00PM 4:00PM 5:00PM 6:00PM 7:00PM 8:00PM 9:00PM 10:00PM . Test Day ¡¡ Baseline Day(s) On average, the greatest temperature differential during the curtailment, between the curtailment day and the averaged baseline days, was 0.4SoF, and occurred in the final hour of the curtailment. Within the curtailment day data, the average hourly indoor temperature increased from 7G.38°F from the hour prior to the curtailment, to 77.51°F in the final hour of the curtailment. This is an average increase of approximately l.13°F. The table below summarizes the aggregate indoor temperature analysis. Across all curtailment event days, the average temperature drift from the hour prior to the curtailment to the final hour of the curtailment was 1.18°F, with a range of O.5GoF on 7/23/2009 to 1.49°F on 7/21/2009. In comparing the curtailment days to baseline days, the average maximum temperature differential was 0.83°F, with a range of 0.08°F on 7/23/2009 to 1.34°F on 7/21/2009. 19 Table 7: Summary of Agregate Hourly Indoor Temperature Analysis Average Hourly Indoor Temperature - Curtai I ment Day _cY.~Iy..~~~U7/16/200 7/17/200 7/23/200 ¡::;¡:::::!!:¡i~~;~i!~BiU~c::-;:' 96.ó"F 99.S"F '-:;-:X~,iili'j'i¡:¡¡~;l;j¡:r:t:tT;;;"t:,. 76.25 76.88 76.64 76.65 7714 76.71 77.16 77.52 7758 77.98 76.98 77.21 (33% Cyling): 76.13 76.94 76.73 76.68 77.54 77.31 7713 78.08 77.76 Average Temperature Drift v-ttir--'~~~"J;;i:' "11!;:~::'i)li¡iil1"~~1 !~I' w;~ ,'-.-.-.----, -----"::;:.,:ttJktI!ii,~il~¡:~¡!11 1.27 1.10 0.56 0.98 1.12 0.95 0.08 o.n 1.36 1.49 1.35 1.40-76.38 76.59 77.04 77.51Avee (33% and 50 Cyin): 1111_ 1111111111:1 1.13 1.U 0.45 0.45.- INDIVIDUAL INDOOR TEMPERA TURE ANALYSIS AND RESULTS - HOURLY AVERAGE DATA The indoor temperature data was averaged across each hour, by customer, resulting in average hourly indoor temperature for each customer in the sample. These hourly averages were then examined for each curtailment day hour and compared to the same hour on the baseline days. The same baseline days determined from the load reduction analysis were used for the indoor temperature analysis. Although there was not significant variation in indoor temperature between curtailment days and baseline days, the data presented below was normalized in the hour prior to the start of the curtailment for each customer. As discussed above, the hottest 33% cycling curtailment day occurred on 7/17/2009, with a maximum outdoor temperature of 99.9°F. The charts in Figure 9 through Figure 11 show the comparisons of hourly indoor temperature between the curtailment and baseline days. The temperature difference bins on the x-axis of each chart displays the upper-limit of each bin. For example, a bin with the value of 1.00 contains all of the customers that had a curtailment versus baseline temperature difference greater than O.SO°F and less than or equal to 1.00°F. The exception is the O.OO°F degree bin, which includes all customers that had a curtailment versus baseline temperature difference of SO.OO°F, including negative temperature differences. 20 Figure 9: Averagt:~!?~ri.y.In~!?t?rT~~p'~!rr~r!:n~~'. 7/17/2009!.~~~~i~~~n~~~~~seline Days, 4-Spm 50% T-~- 45% .! 40% 35% ~ 30% gi 25%., .k 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% .,.

A closer examination of the individual data reveals that some customer experienced an overall decrease in average hourly indoor temperature. This suggests that some customers may have had a natural duty cycle below the enforced duty cycle (and therefore were not impacted by the curtailment), or did not receive the signaL. The general cluster of individuals within each chart indicates that indoor temperature did increase, on average, during the curtailment event. During the first hour of the event, the maximum increase over baseline conditions was approximately 1SF, during the second hour it was approximately 2.soF (except for an outlier, discussed below), and during the final hour it was approximately 3.0°F. In addition, the frequencies in the lowest bins (under 1.00°F) decrease over the curtailment period. One customer consistently showed extreme temperature changes, especially during the first few events. In the 7/17/2009 charts in Figure 10, this customer is in the 6.00°F bin. There are a number of reasons that could explain this extreme temperature fluctuation. The customer may have a poorly insulated home, and when their unit responded to the event, they experienced a dramatic increase in indoor temperature. However, another plausible explanation is that the customer had the A/e unit turned off for all or part of the event. In this case, the HOBO logger would be capturing the natural increase in indoor temperature on a hot day, and not the impact of a curtailment event. The curtailment event on 7/21/2009 enforced a 50% cycling strategy on a relatively hot day, with a maximum outdoor temperature of 96.9°F. The charts in Figure 12 through Figure 14 show the comparisons of hourly indoor temperature between the curtailment and baseline days for 7/21/2009. 22 Figure 12: Average Hourly Indoor Temp Difference, 7/21/2009, Curtailment vs Baseline Days, 4-5pm..._......................................................................................................................................................................................................................".-...

During the first hour of the 7/21/2009 event, the maximum increase over baseline conditions was approximately 1.soF, during the second hour it was approximately 3.0°F (except for the same outlier, discussed above), and during the final hour it was approximately 4.5°F (with the exception of the outlier). In addition, the frequencies in the lowest bins (under l.00°F) decrease consistently over the curtailment period. The table below summarizes the results of the individual average hourly indoor temperature analysis. It is apparent in this summary table that many customers experienced a lower temperature during the curtailment day than they did during the baseline day. In some cases, enough customers had this experience to result in a negative average difference for the hour (see 7/23/2009 at 4pm-Spm and Spm- 6pm) Table 8: Summary of Individual Indoor Temperature Analysis- Hourly Average Data The charts for all Individual Indoor Temperature Analyses using Hourly Average Data for each curtailment event are included in Appendix B. INDIVIDUAL INDOOR TEMPERA TURE ANALYSIS AND RESULTS - S-MINUTE DATA The previous analyses normalized the data to baseline days to better ensure that the temperature differences observed were a consequence of the curtailment events, and not some other external factor(s). An additional analysis was performed using individual customer data in order to ascertain if the conservative indoor temperature changes were simply an artifact of the comparison to baseline days, or if they were good representations of what happened within a customer home. Therefore, the raw S-minute indoor temperature data was analyzed for each customer to determine the temperature drift during a curtailment event. The analysis examined temperature drift within a customer home on a curtailment day. These data were not compared to other customers or to temperature data from a baseline day. A customer's minimum indoor temperature, which is typically observed in the first hour of 24 a curtailment, served as the baseline temperature for that customer. The maximum indoor temperature during a curtailment, which is typically expected in the second or third hour of the event, was then used to determine the maximum temperature change, or drift, observed during an event. The charts in Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the maximum indoor temperature drift for the first two 33% curtailment events. Each customer was placed into a maximum temperature drift bin. As with the previous analysis, each bin value indicates the upper limit of that bin. On 7/16/2009, the highest frequency of customers fell into the 1.00°F drift bin, with a total of 12 customers (31% of the sample). These customers experienced a maximum temperature drift of greater than O.sO°F but less than, or equal to, i.OO°F. A number of customers experienced an indoor temperature drift between 1.01°F and 3.00°F, and only three customers experiencing a drift greater than 3.00°F. The maximum indoor temperature drift on 7/16/2009 was 3.86°F. The curtailment event on 7/17/2009 in Figure 16 shows similar overall results, with a maximum indoor temperature drift at 3.65°F.

The maximum indoor temperature drift on 7/20/2009 was 4.39°F (Figure 17).

Because this comparison is within-customer, and does not look at the temperature drift on a comparable baseline day, it is not possible to separate the effect of the curtailment event from what is simply normal temperature drift in a house. For this reason, these charts should be interpreted in conjunction with the previous baseline day analyses.

This duty cycle analysis looks at the frequency distributions of the average hourly duty cycle of the HVAC units by curtailment event and group. METHODOLOGY The average hourly duty cycle was used to determine the amount of units operating at a natural duty cycle that is below the curtailment event's enforced duty cycle. The hourly duty cycles were calculated from the interval logger data by summing the runtime for each hour in minutes and dividing by sum by the 60 minutes per hour. Frequency distribution tables for each group and curtailment event were then created. Figure 19 and Figure 20 graphically present the tables for the CZ 2 group during the 7/16/2009, 33% cycling curtailment event. The values on the horizontal axis are the upper bound of the frequency distribution bin. For example, in Figure 19, the first bin shows that 40% of the group is operating between 0% and 10% duty cycle. This value decreases in Figure 20 to 29% of the group. That is stil a relatively large percent of the group that is not providing demand reduction to the utility as program participants.

DuTY CYCLE ANALYSIS RESULTS Table 10 presents a summary of the frequency distribution of the duty cycles during the curtailment period. The"% of Group" column shows the percentage of the group that is operating at a duty cycle that falls within the corresponding value of the "Filter Range" column. This table reveals a large amount, 52% on average, operating below the duty cycle enforced by the curtailment events. The 7/27/2009 curtailment is not presented in Table 10 because the population distribution of the 33% and 50% cycling strategies was unavailable. Table 10: Duty Cycle Summary by Group and Curtailment Event 29 30 31 32 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Paragon considers the results of the 2009 A/C Cool Credit Program to be inconclusive regarding its potential as a cost effective resource. There were several factors that resulted in modest demand reduction results during 2009. The mild weather during the curtailment season contributed to these modest demand reduction results. This type of demand program is generally most valuable during the rare and unpredictable heat storms. The summer of 2009 did not fit this profile. The results are also inconclusive in that the sample size netted results that approach, but do not quite meet, 80% confidence with 20% precision. This means that there is a significant probabilty that the actual results are different from the results obtained from this study. Despite these caveats, the data did provide insight into obvious trends and provided the basis for the following conclusions and recommendations. The measured demand reduction of the main cooling zone populations, CZ 2 and CZ 3, was an average of 0.196kW and 0.394kW, respectively, for all curtailments. This was well below the expected demand reduction of 0.8kW - 1.2kW found in other utility studies. It is expected that this is due to a large number of units naturally operating below the enforced duty cycle of the curtailments. The similarity between the 33% cycling and 50% cycling demand reduction also supports this assumption. The low demand reduction and the minimal indoor temperature drift support using a minimum of 50% cycling strategy (and perhaps testing 67% cycling) in the future. The results for the CZ 3_MHAFB sub group, however, do meet the expected demand reduction levels of typical HVAC curtailment programs, with an average demand reduction of 1.164kW for all curtailments. In fact, the demand reduction for this sub group was fairly constant over the outdoor temperature range of the curtailments. This suggests that these HVAC units operate near a 100% duty cycle when the outdoor temperature rises above 88°F. Therefore, these customers should not be cycled greater than 50% duty cycle. Upon inspection of the demand reduction charts presented in Appendix A, it appears possible that the curtailment events began one hour earlier than reported. In addition, the duty cycle analysis shows that a number of units began operating at 100% cycling one hour prior to the scheduled end of the curtailment. This findings support the possibility that some units began and ended curtailment one hour before schedule. If this is found to be true, making the adjustment in the analysis to normalize the curtailment and baseline data one hour earlier could result in greater demand reduction values. The indoor temperature results and duty cycle analysis corroborated the demand reduction results. On average, most customers experienced a very modest temperature increase during a curtailment period. However, the indoor temperature analysis was limited in that no correlations could be made between indoor temperature fluctuations and demand reduction values. It would be valuable to compare these two analyses to determine if those customers who had no change in demand are the same customers who had the highest increase in indoor temperature. If this is the case, one could assume that these customers had their A/C unit turned off. 33 As discussed above, the confidence and precision level approached, but did not quite meet, the expected level of 80/20. Idaho Power should continue to treat cooling zones 2 and 3 as separate sampling strata; however, they should increase the sample size within each cooling zone to increase the precision of the results. Idaho Power has built a large residential demand reduction resource; however, the conservative results for the 2009 summer season suggest the program may be operating below its potentiaL. The mild summer temperatures, 33% cycling strategy, and the probabilty that at least some data loggers were one hour off of actual time contributed to lower than expected results. The low measured demand reduction, minimal indoor temperature drift, and duty cycle analysis all support using a minimum of 50% cycling strategy in the future, and even suggest testing 67% duty cycle curtailments, to improve program load reduction results. Because of all of these issues, some controllable, and some not, Paragon recommends that demand reduction measurement be continued for the summer of 2010. In addition, indoor temperature analysis should be continued along with customer surveys to maintain customer satisfaction with the program and to monitor the impact of increasing the cycling strategy. 34 ApPENDIX 3S ApPENDIX A - DEMAND REDUCTION CHARTS CZ 2 - Chart i 2$00~ 1 i! 1.00 l_ 1500 Group:C22711Ji.mCyHPM iood !mp,-i(: Data Summa IPe, Ale Unit): Peal; Demand Reduction: Q,368kW40l 22 ljOO 105.0 90.0 _t.~ ~ l le ll.i Jti 7SA) 60.0 45.0 30.0 15.0 0.0 3.500 3.00 1,0l 0500 0.000 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 is 19 20 21- - T im P'v Avera¡¡ kW _ Noo Tilt Pav ÁVlraR kW - Tll Pav Horlv AVl T ilpeaiur -Non-lll Da HOINVÁV¡ TCm¡ature 36 Group:CZ2 1l17l2. m.Cyçlini 4.7PM Load imp;tl Dill" Summary (Pet AlC Unii); P"ilk !kmarid RQduclion.

Almost all residential HVAC systems in Asia and a vast majority of systems in Europe are ductless, while only a small percentage of homes in the U.S. utilize DHP technology. Slower U.S. adoption rates can be explained partly by cultul differences and partly by differences in home architecture--U.S. homes are generally designed with ducted systems in mind and allow for more livable space. Energy costs are much higher in Asia and systems with increased energy efficiency are more desirable. Lastly, refrgerant handling is not as strctly regulated overseas as it is in the U.S. Many companies curently manufacture DHPs for the U.S. market including Mitsubishi Electrc, Fujitsu, Daikin, Sanyo, LG, Samsung, EMI/etroaire, Goodan, Heil, and Unionaire. Trane, Carrer, and Lennox do not manufacture DHPs for the U.S. market. Instead, a third part manufacturers the product for them and privately labels the systems for distrbution in the U.S. DHP models range from single-zone to multi-zone units with differences in price, SEER, and HSPF ratings. Two main distribution channels exist for DHPs in the U.S. Many manufacturers use independent distrbutors, such as wholesale, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration distributors thoughout the countr. Others manufacturers use company- owned dealer distribution oftheir DHPs. DHPs are not sold through retail channels because of the restrcted refrgerant used in the systems. Approximately 250,000-300,000 ductless systems were sold in the U.S. last year, with the ductless industr growing steadily each year for the past few years. This growth, despite a slow residential constrction market, is likely due to the remodel and retrofit application of DHPs, along with their high level of energy effciency. Single zone units are curently more popular than multi-zone units, with Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, and Sanyo dominating the ductless market. DHP Awareness and Perceptions DHP awareness is limited among consumers and builders, with more awareness among HV AC contractors. Paricipants in the qualitative phases of this study perceived these systems to be best used in retrofit and remodel applications, while only a handful believed them to be appropriate for whole-house heating and cooling. Qualitative participants also believed that with more awareness on the part of consumers, builders, installers, engineers, and architects, the DHP industr would grow. As of now, only 5% of the American public knows that DHPs are even an option. Most participants in the qualitative phases of research perceived the notion of "ductless" to be valuable in situations where ducted systems were impossible or improbable. Brand Page 7 was perceived to be important according to HV AC installers, as many were wiling to pay more money for a better system. Characteristics of Decision Makers with High Likelihood of Adoption Various market experts, manufacturers, and consumers living and not living with DHPs speculated as to the tyes of homeowners and builders who may have a high likelihood of adopting these systems. Consumer characteristics included homeowners with electric heating systems, those living in moderate or coastal climates, people looking to condition a single room or unconventional space, and homeowners wanting a combination heating and cooling system. Consumers who are energy conscious and concerned about their electric expenses might also adopt minisplit systems. Builders considered likely to adopt these systems included those constrcting or remodeling smaller attached apartents, condominiums, and smaller homes. Compellng Value/Sellng Propositions for Decision Makers Many compelling advantages of DHPs existed for consumers. Participants and experts believed the system's ability to use energy more efficiently, thus translating into lower electric bils, was an important benefit of DHPs. Greater personal control of a home's climate, improved air quality, and noise reduction were also highly regarded characteristics. Corrosion reduction, a DHP's capability to be added onto a ducted system, and perceived safety benefits were also considered valuable. Other consumer advantages included the potential for increased resale value of a home, reduced system maintenance/service when compared to other systems, relatively easy installation ofDHP units, reduction of greenhouse gas emission, and increased livable space. Utilization ofDHPs to gain points in green building programs was viewed by builders as a huge benefit of these systems. The ability to differentiate themselves from other builders by offering DHPs, coupled with a relatively easy installation process, was also extremely compelling for builders. Increased customer satisfaction through DHP technology was also suggested as a benefit of the system. For HVAC contractors, minisplits offer easy installation and limited system maintenance, both of which were consistently perceived as valuable selling propositions. DHPs were regularly regarded as a unique solution to certain installation challenges. DHPs were another option to offer clients, allowed for company differentiation, and were a means of meeting green building criteria-all of which were considered secondary sellng propositions to HV AC contractors. From a distrbutor point of view, DHPs were considered a more profitable product than unitary systems because of their price premium. Handling of ductless systems is much easier for distributors when compared to traditional units because DHPs are smaller and easier to inventory. Both variables were considered valuable propositions for distrbutors. Barriers to DHP Adoption Barrers to widespread DHP adoption were discovered during multiple phases of this research project. Higher system cost and unattactive indoor and outdoor aesthetics were Page 8 substantial drawbacks of these systems from a consumer point of view. A general lack of consumer awareness and low temperature heating concerns were also considered substantial barriers to adoption. In addition, preferences related to fuel tye, and questions about overall system operation and product terminology were viewed as slightly less significant impediments to consumer adoption, though barrers nonetheless. Substantial barrers to builder adoption included trouble finding a qualified DHP installer, general wariness towards any new technology not commonly found in the building industr, and a DHP's unsightly appearance. Less significant barrers included issues with humidity, the necessity of another heat source during home constrction, fuel preferences, and overall confusion about system operation. Significant barers to contractor adoption included concerns about installation and a pervasive mindset that DHPs were solely application specific. Other considerable barrers included a perceived lack of awareness on the part of contractors and the need for supplemental heating. Less significant hindrnces to contractor adoption included possible refrgerant leakage, unpleasant aesthetics, higher cost, and problems with condensate pumps. Since traditional, ducted systems are tyical practice in the U.S., distributors might not be as likely to offer DHPs. Additionally, certin geographic areas, such as the Pacific coast, may be more receptive to the idea ofDHPs. In other areas where energy efficiency is not top of mind, distributors might not be as likely to offer DHP technology. DHPs represent only a fraction of the U.S. HVAC market. For widespread adoption, the first obstacle that must be overcome is lack of awareness and practical knowledge of DHPs. Once some familiarity is established, DHPs may be well received based on their energy effciency, compatibility with green building programs, and ease of installation. Page 9 Introduction The Northwest Energy Efficiency Allance (NEEA) sought to better understand the potential for ductless heat pump (DHP) market adoption within the United States. NEEA identified seven core objectives for the scope of this project. The objectives are summarized as follows: 1. Deliver a comprehensive characterization of DHP market strcture 2. Identify characteristics of decision-makers (builders and homeowners) with high likelihood of adoption 3. Estimate potential market size-US and Northwest 4. Identify awareness, perceptions, and barrers to adoption ofDHPs among key market stakeholders 5. Identify most compellng value/selling propositions for decision makers 6. Understand how to speak to decision makers about HV AC in their own language 7. Understand initial experiences of early participants in both supply and demand side markets Project Methodology The research design for this project included a secondary literature review, in-depth interviews, telephone dyads/trads, and in-person focus groups. Information gathered in each research phase addressed the stated objectives of the project. Secondary Literature Review In the secondary literature review, the Research Center uncovered and synthesized information already available about the DHP market including advantages and disadvantages ofDHPs, manufacturers ofDHPs and their current product offerings, as well as notions of pricing. This data came from searches of previously published information available on the internet, in journals, and in periodicals. This secondary literature review also identified experts in the field for the puroses of conducting in- depth interviews in the next phase of research. In-Depth Interviews The first tye of qualitative data collection the Research Center conducted involved in- depth interviews with thought leaders earlier identified in secondary research. These in- depth interviews allowed for greater insight into DHP market characterization and strcture. A total of 13 market actors were interviewed during February and March 2008. Interviewees included experts in the field ofDHPs, distrbutors ofDHPs, representatives from active U.S. DHP manufacturers, and representatives from third part DHP manufacturers. Interviewer guides differed among each group. Expert and trade ally in-depth interviews. A total of five expert and trade ally in- depth interviews were conducted. Participants included those from the following companies or organizations: 1. Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (2) Page 10 2. Air Conditioning and Refrgeration Institute 3. Air Conditioning Contractors of America 4. Home Energy Sciences DHP distributor in-depth interviews. Thee active U.S. DHP distrbutors interviews were conducted. Partcipants were from the following companies: 1. CFM Distrbutors 2. Thrft Supply 3. Thermal Supply Active DHP manufacturer in-depth interviews. Three active DHP manufacturer interviews were conducted by the Research Center. Representatives from the following companies were interviewed: 1. Fujitsu 2. DaikinAC 3. Mitsubishi Electrc Third party DHP manufacturer in-depth interviews. Two third part DHP manufacturer interviews were conducted for this project. Representatives from the following companies were interviewed: 1. Carrer Corporation 2. Trane Telephone Dyads/Triads or Telephone Focus Groups of DHP Users The second type of qualitative data collection involved telephone focus groups of two to three participants, also known as dyads and trads. The purose of these dyads and trads was to collect in-depth information regarding barers and facilitators to adoption, levels of awareness, influences, and motivators in the decision to use DHPs, and characteristics of decision makers with a high likelihood ofDHP adoption. The Research Center conducted a total of six telephone dyads and trads involving two groups of builders who built or remodeled homes with DHPs, two groups of HVAC contractors who installed DHPs, and two groups of consumers who lived with DHPs in their homes. Topics covered in moderator guides differed among each of the three groups. Builder telephone dyads/triads. Five builders paricipated in two dyads/triads. Participants in these groups were aged 18-55, characterized themselves as a builder, contractor, or remodeler, were involved primarily in residential constrction for a minimum of three years, and used at least one DHP in home constrction. Current HV AC systems used HVAC contractor telephone dyads/triads. Seven HVAC contractors participated in two telephone dyads/triads. Participants in these groups were aged 18-55, characterized themselves as an HV AC installer or one who performs HV AC system maintenance, were involved primarily in residential constrction for a minimum of thee years, worked primarily in the Pacific Northwest, and installed at least one DHP system. Page 11 Consumer telephone dyads/triads. Five consumers living with DHPs participated in two telephone dyads/trads. Participants in these groups were aged 18-55 and had at least one DHP in their home. In-Person Focus Groups of Non-Users The final qualitative research phase consisted of eight in-person focus groups. Audience not familar Location Total number of withDHPs 2:roups Homeowners Portland, Eugene, Spokane 4 HV AC Contractors Portland, Spokane 2 Builders Portland 1 Hybrid of HV AC/Builders Spokane 1 Four groups consisted of consumers unfamiliar with DHPs while two groups consisted of HVAC contractors who did not install DHPs. One group consisted of builders who did not use DHPs. The final group was a blend ofHVAC installers, builders, and architects who did not implement DHP technology. The purpose of these focus groups was to gauge initial participant reaction to DHPs, identify compellng value/selling propositions, key messages to emphasize, and potential barrers to overcome, as well as to identify levels of awareness and motivators in the decision to install or use DHPs. Moderator guides differed among groups and covered a variety of topics. The groups were exploratory in nature and were intended to provide input for future quantitative research. Builder focus groups. Partcipants in builder and blended builder-contractor focus groups did not use DHPs. HVA C contractor focus groups. Participants in HV AC contractor and blended builder-contractor focus groups were those who did not use DHPs. Consumer focus groups. Participants in consumer focus groups were unfamiliar with DHPs. Page 12 Detailed Findings Introduction to DHPs Ductless heat pumps (DHPs), or minisplits, are heating and cooling systems that combine the climate control advantages of window air conditioners with the entire house cooling and heating capabilities of central, ducted systems. Minisplit systems include a single outdoor unit comprised of a compressor and condenser and one or more indoor, wall- mounted units containing individual coils within air handlers. In DHP systems, refrigerant is piped from the outdoor unit, through small diameter insulated refrgerant lines directly to indoor wall units. Cooled or heated air is then blown into the room by a fan located in the evaporator unit. One outdoor unit can be linked to one or more indoor units. DHP Market Characteriation Through an existing literature review and multiple in-depth interviews with market actors, the Research Center determined varous characteristics of the DHP market. Overseas DHP market. Minisplit technology dominates Asian and European HVAC markets but has yet to significantly penetrte the U.S. market. While ducted systems are the norm in the U.S., minisplits and other tyes of ductless systems account for 98% of all air conditioning in Asia. In Europe, ductless systems, in general, account for 50-70% of air conditioning systems (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Though U.S. DHP sales have increased over the past few years, Asia and Europe remain the leaders in ductless system sales (lEA Heat Pump Centre Newsletter 2003). In 2003, China had the largest minisplit market and production center in the world, while East Asia and Southern Europe were the fastest growing regions for DHP sales (lEA Heat Pump Centre Newsletter 2003). Slower U.S. adoption rates can be explained partly by the evolution of heating and cooling in Asia and in the U.S., differences in system architectue, energy consciousness, space constraints, and refrgerant handling. Ductless systems are a direct evolution from the hibachi (CFM Distrbutors, unpublished interview), a traditional Japanese heating device consisting of a heat-proof open container designed to hold hot charcoaL. Hibachis were carred from room to room to heat only rooms that were occupied. This mindset remains as the Japanese continue to only heat, and now cool, rooms in use with minisplits. This mIndset has not trsferred to the U.S. Conversely, in the U.S., the warm air heating market emerged from coal-fired, solid-fuel, and gravity-flow furnaces with large gravity set ductwork (CFM Distrbutors, unpublished interview). DHPs were not introduced into mass production in Japan until the 1940s or 1950s, and by that time, the U.S. had already committed to ducted systems (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). According to Daikin AC, the market in the U.S. for ductless systems was first established in the mid-1980s (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). Around that same time, there was backlash against putting Japanese technology in homes, so Japanese manufacturers were forced to build Page 13 their air conditioning framework around US manufacturers (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Central ducted systems are rarely installed overseas due to limited residential space and close proximity to other buildings (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). u.s. builders generally do not have such tight space constraints, making it easier to install ductwork and conventional central systems. Therefore, DHP popularity overseas is a direct result of residential architecture and design (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrick 2006). If ducts are not present, minisplits provide an alternative for effective heating and cooling. Also, many residences in Europe are older and built before the concept of central heating and cooling. Instead of installng invasive ductwork, it is often easier to use minisplits to preserve the original structure of the home (Wardlaw Fuels). Increased energy costs is another factor for Asia's widespread adoption ofDHPs. Energy costs are reportedly five times higher than those in the U.S. (Mitsubishi Electrc, unpublished interview). Minisplits provide a way in which to combat high energy prices by leveraging their strong energy efficiency ratings. Rising U.S. energy costs and increased energy conservation awareness among consumers may encourage DHP adoption in the U.s. Also, Asia does not regulate refrigerant handling. Installng DHPs in Asia does not require training or certification. In fact, manufacturer's installation instrctions are intended for the non-technical person to install DHPs (CFM Distributors, unpublished interview). According to CFM Distrbutors, only the u.s. and Western Europe are concerned with refrgerant usage (CFM Distributors, unpublished interview). The ease of installation by non-certified installers is another reason for the large DHP market overseas. u.s. DHP Market Structure Market size. It is diffcult to discern actual DHP sales because DHPs represent a small percentage of overall HV AC equipment sales as noted in Table 1. Additionally, many manufacturers do not wish to disclose annual sales figures. However, in 2005, Sanyo estimated that Americans only purchased about 125,000 ductless systems annually (Wardell 2005) and according to manufacturers interviewed, data provided to them by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) showed that approximately 250,000- 300,000 ductless units were sold last year. Currently, the U.S. commercial and residential market amounts to approximately $15 bilion, yet ductless system purchases account for less than 1 % (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Sanyo account for approximately 80% of the market share of ductless systems (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). Page 14 a e .. .a es ipmen so s 2005 Total U.S. manufactuer shipments of 9,246,559 unitary air conditioners and air-source heatpumpsa Estimated number of ductless systems 125,000 sold in the U.S. T bl 1 U S S I ISh.t fDHP a Source: Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrgeration Institute 1ittp:ii",'ww.ab.nc;t.,'RIiinilisho":QQi;,m:(lQQ.,,:=§J9. b Source: (Wardell 2005) Leading industr experts believed sales and implementation of residential DHPs were on the rise in the U.S. (Mitsubishi Electrc, unpublished interview and Home Energy Sciences, unpublished interview). However, a Mitsubishi Electrc representative cautioned that only 5% of the U.S. population knows that DHPs are even an option, which may also explain low sales numbers when compared to Europe and Asia (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). Selected models. Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin, and Sanyo are considered the leaders in DHP technology (Home Energy Sciences, unpublished interview) but exact sales numbers for each DHP manufacturer are not publicly disclosed. Table 1 offers a glimpse at select minisplit models from larger U.S. manufacturers. Included in the table are each model's cooling and heating capacity, zone capability, seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and HSPF ratings, and price (if available). Models found in this table include single units for small rooms, single units for larger rooms, and multiple units for more than one room. Table 2.

Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin, Sanyo, LG, Samsung, EMI/Retroaire, Goodman, Heil, and Unionaire are curently manufacturing DHPs in the United States. Third party manufacturing. Trane, Carrer, and Lennox do not manufacture DHPs in the U.S. Instead, a third part manufacturers the product under contrct and privately labels the systems for distrbution in the U.S. (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Companies like Trane and Carrer partcipate in this fashion because, as a major OEM, they want to be able to supply a full line of HV AC products (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). DHP Distribution and Retail Channels Distribution channels. In the U.S., two primary distrbution methods exist for ductless systems. Companies such as Fujitsu and Daikin mainly use independent distributors, such as wholesale, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and refrgeration distrbutors throughout the countr. One company, for example, has 2,500 points of sale throughout US and Canada. The second distribution method involves company-owned dealer distrbution. For instance, one-half of Trane's business in the U.S. comes from such company-owned dealer distrbution channels (Trane, unpublished interview). It is also possible to purchase ductless systems directly off the internet. However, the systems must stil be installed by a licensed professional or the manufacturer warranty could be in jeopardy (Air Conditioning Contrctors of America, unpublished interview). Retail channels. DHP retail chanels do not exist in the U.S. due to the refrigeration- charged system imbedded in the product. These systems require installation by licensed contractors according to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) refrgerant handling regulations (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Conversely, big-box retail stores such as The Home Depot and Lowe's sell central systems at kiosks (Air Conditioning Contractors of America). Associates schedule appointments for a contractor to visit a home and provide an estimate. According to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), manufactuers use the store as another sales venue. ACCA believes that something similar could be done with ductless systems, but DHPs would never be sold directly off the shelves (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Overseas, ductless systems can be purchased from retail channels. One can visit an electronics store in Asia and see a section of ductless minisplits available for purchase (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). Typical mark-up. Various distrbutors report the average mark-up for DHPs is similar to other HV AC systems. One distrbutor explained that the wholesaler needs to make about 26%-27% gross margin, which equates roughly to a 34-36% markup, figuring in the costs of shipping, damage in shipping, technical support, and marketing. Another distributor interviewed indicated their DHP mark-up ranged from 18-20%. Page 17 DHP Standards and Test Procedures Currently, equipment testing for ductless systems occurs under the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology Institute's (ARTI) Standard 210.240, which includes a broad range of unitary, small equipment (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute, unpublished interview). For the past year, ARTI has been working with various DHP manufacturers to create equipment standards and test procedures solely applicable to DHPs. ARTI speculates that once ductless equipment has its own standards and test procedures, the systems will have increased visibility and recognition in the industr, as well as heightened consumer and contractor awareness (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute, unpublished interview). Under these test procedures, manufacturers can voluntarily have their equipment evaluated in order to determine the accuracy of the product's efficiency claims. These tests wil enable a ductless manufacturer to promote the system as a certified product that meets its stated efficiency claims. Additionally, consumers wil have the advantage of knowing that a third part verifier has tested the efficiency ratings of the product without having to rely solely on the manufacturer's claims (Air Conditioning and Refrgeration Institute, unpublished interview). When this standard is approved, it can easily be incorporated into a green building program which may add to its visibility in the marketplace (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute, unpublished interview). History of selected DHP manufacturers Qualitative research conducted by the Research Center involved in-depth interviews with representatives of select DHP manufacturers. These interviews provided insight into the history of DHPs within these companies, popular products, and product costs. Daikin. Daikin began designing minisplit systems in the 1950s and was the first manufacturer to introduce a multi split system (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). In 1996, Daikin was the first ductless manufacturer in the world to switch to non-R22 products. According to Daikin, they are the current top HV AC company in the world, both commercially and residentially, but are relatively new to the U.S. marketplace. Daikin established a sales company in the U.S in 2005. Currently, the one to two-ton capacity single-zone, wall mounted systems are the biggest selling products for Daikin (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). One manufactuer representative we spoke to reports that equipment cost remains relatively constant across the country. The cost ofa unit is approximately $1300 to $1500 per ton, with installation running $1500 or more. These installation prices, however, can vary greatly depending on region of the country. Carrier. Carrer designed their first minisplit system in the mid 1980s (Carrer, unpublished interview). By the late 1980s, Carrer ceased manufacturing these systems due to poor sales and other logistical issues. Since that time, Carrer has been manufacturing all over the world. Currently, they are not manufacturing any DHPs in the U.S., but have manufacturing parters abroad. According to Carrer, the majority of the world uses ductless systems for residential applications, but over 90% of Carrer's ductless sales are in commercial applications. Carrer indicates their most popular Page 18 residential product is a high-wall style system ranging from 9,000-18,000 BTUs and is primarily used for add-ons and retrofits. Carer's residential ductless systems account for less than 5% of its U.S. sales. Trane. Trane has been involved in ductless products for over 20 years, primarily overseas (Trane, unpublished interview). At this time, Trane sells a very limited range of minisplits in the u.s. due to current product changeovers. Trane indicated their high wall, single-zone systems are the most popular with the price of these systems varying greatly by region. Fujitsu. Almost 85% of Fujitsu's product line is heat pump inverter technology which allows for higher SEER products (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Fujitsu's product line ranges from systems with 9,000 BTUs to 42,000 BTUs. Fujitsu remarked that their multi-zone systems are more popular than single-zone systems in the residential industry. Market Trends Market trends were determined through in-depth interviews with market actors and telephone and in-person focus groups with users and non-users. In-depth interviews with market actors. Over the past few years, DHPs have been installed in a wide range of applications. According to a Fujitsu representative, the ductless industr has grown 28-32% a year for the past five years, and in the past year, unitary, ducted systems were down almost 19% while ductless systems were up 28% (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Fujitsu reasoned that unitary systems have been more affected by the current housing market and economy, while minisplits have been able to differentiate themselves in the marketplace (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Ductless minisplits have not yet impacted the sales of traditional residential systems, but have the potential to do so in the near future according to a leading U.S. distrbutor (CFM Distributors, unpublished interview). Other manufacturer representatives disagree and see the DHP market completely separate from the trditional ducted market since DHPs have more targeted applications. According to a Mitsubishi Electrc representative, DHPs are more commonly used for spot heating and cooling-not whole house heating and cooling-so it would be diffcult to forecast the extent to which DHPs could compete with ducted systems (Mitsubishi Electrc, unpublished interview). Curently, single-zone units outsell multi-zone systems but distrbutors have started to notice increased adoption of multi-zone units (CFM Distrbutors, unpublished interview). As inverter technology becomes sophisticated, the amount of heat a ductless system produces increases, which may enhance the applicabilty of DHPs (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Additionally, as more national advertising and DHP education occur, the residential DHP market will increase (Mitsubishi, unpublished interview). If the cost of ductless systems were also reduced, the ACCA speculates ductless manufacturers could substantially increase their market share (ACCA, unpublished interview). Page 19 Findingsfrom telephone focus groups of builders using DHPs. When builders in a telephone focus group were asked if they would be building or remodeling more or fewer homes with DHPs in the future, two builders replied they would be building fewer homes. One reasoned that ducted systems prevailed in the industr, while another mentioned that a combination heating and air conditioning system was not necessary where he built homes. Builders in another telephone focus group hoped to build and remodel more homes with DHPs in the future but wanted more consumer feedback regarding the product before they implemented it in more homes. Findings from telephone focus groups of contractors using DHPs. One DHP installer interviewed during a telephone focus group believed that residential DHP sales were dependent upon the retrofit and remodel market, since DHPs are often used in retrofit and remodel situations. This installer believed if the retrofit market went up, residential DHP sales would increase as well. New Products New products are constantly being developed by producers within the HVAC industr. According to Daikin AC, various manufacturers are currently improving a ducted-style unit for their ductless product line. Instead of a wall mount in the occupied space, a ducted-style unit is installed in a closet or dropped ceiling. The product is essentially out of sight of the consumer, leading to improved aesthetics. In early 2008, Mitsubishi introduced its new hyper-heating inverter (H2iâ„¢) technology for select Mr. SlimQl and CITY MULTlOO VRFZ units. This new technology allows the system to run at full capacity in extremely cold temperatures unlike traditional heat pumps which require supplemental heat. A Mitsubishi representative said this new technology has the capability of functioning at 100% heating capacity at 5 degrees Fahrenheit and wil operate effectively down to -13 degrees Fahrenheit. According to Mitsubishi Electric, the "patent-pending flash process cools the compressor which allows for higher compressor speeds at lower temperatures without overheating" which helps to overcome common heat pump issues like "decreases in low-side pressure, refrigerant mass flow rate, and operational capacity" (Mitsubishi Electric Press Release 2008). Mitsubishi's website mentions that this new technology is currently offered for "light commercial or institutional renovations or new construction projects." However, a Mitsubishi representative boasted this new system was placed in a public housing unit and when the outside temperature dropped down to near zero degrees Fahrenheit, the discharge temperatures were close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit with all residents reporting they were comfortable. One HV AC installer interviewed during a telephone focus group reported using a product called AireShare to help heat and cool multiple rooms without adding a large number of DHP systems. AireShare consists of a fan motor mounted inside a 2x4 wall. With the flip of a switch, the systems can take heating or cooling from the main room, where the DHP indoor unit is located, and pump the air into another room. Aireshare systems are meant to complement a ductless minisplit system and can condition an entire house with only 3- 4 units (HV AC Solutions Direct). This installer reported that manufactuers of this Page 20 product are currently tring to work with Mitsubishi to bring AireShare to the residential marketplace. Page 21 Homeowners Likely to Adopt DHPs Findings from Secondary Literature Review , Homeowners looking to heat and cool single rooms. Many homeowners remodel attics or rooms above garages in order to make them into livable space. Home offices, increasingly popular home theaters, and other residential room additions are often the end result of such home improvement projects, yet in many instances the existing central system might not extend to these rooms (Skaer 2005). DHPs offer an alternative to ductwork extensions and lower capacity central systems while maintaining the pedormance of the original system. These ductless systems are easier to retrofit because they are only using small refrgerant lines instead of ducts (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006) Homeowners in coastal areas. Consumers living in coastal areas might also benefit from minisplit systems. Condenser motors situated horizontally prevent the system from catching water and debris, and plastic fan blades built to resist corrosion make DHPs suitable HVAC systems for coastal residences or homeowners worred about corrosion (Wardell 2005). Those living in humid climates would also benefit from DHPs, as these systems dehumidify the air regardless of temperature setting (Wardell 2005). Consumers in moderate climates. Homeowners in moderate climates where the outside temperature does not regularly drop below freezing might be more likely to install DHPs. Since backup electrc resistance heating or an additional separate heating system is necessary, homeowners in extremely cold temperatures might adopt these systems (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrick 2006). Unconventional spaces. Minisplits also provide an alternative for heating and cooling unconventional homes or homes where ducted systems are impossible, impractical, or too expensive to install (Skaer 2005). For example, DHPs should appeal to consumers living in historic or older homes without central ducts, since minisplit systems allow for cooling and heating capabilities through less invasive installation procedures. Owners of other residences where ductwork might be difficult to install like vacation homes and cabins should also consider DHPs (Skaer 2005). Findings from In-Depth Interviews with Industry Experts Homeowners looking to heat and cool single rooms. Industr experts agreed with existing literature and believed and homeowners looking to heat or cool a single room would benefit from minisplits. Home improvement projects and retrofits can be considered opportnities to implement DHP technology. In fact, Fujitsu believed retrofits were the primary market for DHP manufactuers (Fujitsu, unpublished interview) while Trane considered room additions as the principle market (Trane, unpublished interview). A representative from Thermal Supply, a distrbutor in the Pacific Nortwest, found that most of their ductless residential sales were for both add-ons and retrofits (Thermal Supply, unpublished interview). Page 22 Furthermore, problems with ducted systems might occur when retrofitting or adding on to a home because the curent system might not be large enough capacity to heat or cool the additional room (Trane, unpublished interview) or the additional room might cause performance in the central system to diminish (Thrft Supply, unpublished interview). Using DHPs solves these problems with the added benefit of having a single location for maintenance work and installation (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International, unpublished interview). Unconventional spaces. With real estate prices increasing dramatically, many people are turning to smaller homes (e.g. apartents turned into condos). Such residences do not necessarily have central cooling and DHPs offer a small and compact solution to heating and cooling (Thermal Supply, unpublished interview). Additionally, applications for homeowners living in smaller residences like lofts or bungalows where simplicity is valued is another way DHPs are useful according to CFM Distrbutors (CFM Distrbutors, unpublished interview). Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Consumers Living with DHPs Electric bil savings. Durig telephone focus groups, consumers mentioned that people looking to save money on their electrc bil might be interested in DHP technology. Many of these consumers living with DHPs reasoned that they initially agreed to have a system installed in their home because they were told it would save them money on their electrc bil. With the potential to save hundreds of dollars each year, according to consumers interviewed, homeowners looking to save money on their electrc bil would likely embrace such a product. Energy conscious. Consumers interviewed in telephone focus groups believed an ideal DHP consumer would be someone who is educated about the product and concerned about energy efficiency. When first learning about DHPs, they were extremely interested in the energy effciency ratings of the systems. Homeowners looking to heat and cool single rooms. Many consumers who participated in telephone focus groups were motivated to install a DHP in their home as a solution to a problem. Their curent HV AC system could not effectively heat or cool certain rooms which caused these rooms to go unused durng extremely hot summer months and cold winter months. Since installation of their DHPs, they reported these rooms as more comfortable because of the zonal heating and cooling capabilities. Consumers looking to make a single room more comfortable may be interested in this product. Combined heating and air conditioning system. Simply the notion of a non-ducted system that heats and cools was motivation to install these ductless systems according to consumers who participated in telephone focus groups. Their previous systems did not include air conditioning which made for extremely hot indoor temperatures during the summer months. Consumers looking for a combination product might be likely to adopt this product. Page 23 Findings from Focus Groups of Consumers Not Living with DHPs Electric bil savings. Participants in in-person focus groups believed saving money on their energy bils each month was a crucial benefit of DHPs. They indicated consumers tring to save money would benefit from these systems since they seemed economical to run and cost-effective to install. Energy conscious. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups also reported that homeowners interested in energy effciency who were environmentally conscious would likely use this product. Since DHPs offer extensive energy efficiency benefits, a person concerned with this issue may have a higher likelihood of using this product in his or her home. Combined heating and air conditioning system. Participants in focus groups liked the idea of having a combined heating and air conditioning system and believed this to be a benefit ofDHPs. Additional consumer characteristics. Consumers in in-person focus groups presented a wide array of additional characteristics of those they thought were most likely to adopt DHP technology. Participants noted that people of all age ranges might consider this product. Additionally, consumers indicated that potential DHP customers would be educated, wiling to comprehend how the system functioned, financially able to invest upfront, and wiling to embrace new technology. Homebuyers who have seen these systems in hotels or hospitals, or those who have previously installed extensive ductwork during major home renovations or remodels, may also see the benefit of these systems. Additional consumer characteristics include homeowners looking for a HV AC system that operates quietly, requires low maintenance, and a system where the indoor temperature can easily be programmed. Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Builders and Installers Using DHPs Builders and installers who participated in telephone focus groups agreed that homeowners who were energy conscious would most likely adopt DHPs. These participants believed that consumers interested in energy efficiency and thus wanted to save money on their utility bils each month would likely adopt this product. Page 24 Compelling Value Propositions for Consumers Findings from Secondary Literature Review Energy effciency. Minisplit systems boast high energy effciency ratings with distribution losses ranging from 1-5%, compared to 30% losses for central systems (Toolbase Services). More conditioned air trvels to the desired area ofthe home, increasing energy efficiency because the unit is not ruing for an extended period of time. Most DHPs use R-41OA, an ozone frendly refrgerant that absorbs and releases heat more effciently than other refrigerants that deplete the ozone (Honeywell). Previously installed ducted systems that use other tyes of refrigerant cannot be updated to use R- 410A due to design changes needed in compressors and piping (Toolbase Services). With a national trend towards energy efficiency, DHPs offer an ozone-frendly advantage over existing ducted systems which can add to its marketing value. DHPs have the added benefit of only heating and cooling necessar areas of the home. F or instance, ducted systems often have ductwork that runs in unconditioned spaces like attics and basements which sometimes lack suffcient insulation (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). This layout can drve up energy consumption within the home. DHPs only heat or cool occupied spaces which makes the units more energy effcient. Some manufacturers, such as Daikin, have a function that allows the system to adjust the temperature when no one is detected in the room (Grasso 2007). This provides heating and cooling only to occupied rooms, adding to the energy efficiency of the system. SEER ratings are very high because no air has to be moved through any ductwork. Furhermore, DHPs cool smaller rooms more effciently than ducted systems. The cooling capacity ofDHPs starts as low as 9,000 BTU while the smallest cooling capacity for ducted systems generally starts at 18,000 BTU (Wardell 2005). This type of ducted central system is inefficient for an area smaller than 1,000 square feet (Wardell 2005), but a smaller conditioned area is ideal for a minisplit system. Consumers wishing to heat or cool smaller rooms more efficiently might value DHPs over more traditional central systems. Outdoor units with modulating condenser motors also allow DHPs to condition a room more efficiently. Instead of turning on and off to maintain the temperature set by a central thermostat like ducted systems, ductless systems with modulating condenser motors vary the speed gradually to sustain the desired temperature. Less energy is used and wear and tear on the unit is reduced (Wardell 2005). Since ductless minisplits have high energy effciency ratings, governent organizations are beginning to offer tax credits for qualifying homeowners. For instance, Oregon offers a Residential Tax Credit for homeowners using DHPs with variable speed compressors (Oregon Department of Energy Conservation Division 2008). The credit is approximately $200-$300 and the consumer supplies the ARI certificate. Page 25 Increased comfort. The ability of minisplits to precisely control the air temperature for each unit might add to the systems' value. DHPs are extremely effcient at providing spot cooling and heating to desired rooms since each wall unit uses a separate thermostat (Contractor 2006). Zone control features on the indoor wall units allow consumers to enjoy different temperatures in all rooms with mounted units (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrick 2006). The systems' ability to moderate varying temperatures can provide consumers personal comfort and was the most compelling feature of the system according to one consumer interviewed. Air quality. Improved air quality is another advantage ofDHPs. Some systems include anti-allergy enzyme fiters that improve air quality within the conditioned space (Grasso 2007). For instance, Mitsubishi Electrc uses an artificial blue enzme catalyst on the filter fiaments in order to trap harmful microbes and reduce the proliferation of harmful allergens, germs, and other bacteria (Grasso 2007). Minisplit systems also boast lower air volumes which allow for greater dehumidification (Wardlaw Fuels). Additionally, an auto-louver function on the remote distributes and sweeps conditioned air around the room increasing the quality of the air (Siegel 2001). Noise reduction. Minisplit systems offer greater noise reduction when compared to ducted systems. DHPs are designed to be as quiet as possible and as of2001, DHP manufacturers reported decibel (dB) levels in the low 30s (Siegel 2001), while typical ducted systems rate around 80dB and ultra-quiet ducted systems only rate 69dB (Wardell 2005). Since DHPs do not have indoor air compressors or air traveling through ceiling ducts, noise is not created by air being pushed through ductwork (Grasso 2007). Also, DHPs use quieter indoor and outdoor fans (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrick 2006). In residential areas where propert lines are close to each other, the outdoor unit of these ductless systems may also offer a quieter solution. DHP outdoor units are less noisy than outdoor central units making them less of a disturbance to nearby neighbors (Wardlaw Fuels). Concentrated residential areas would benefit from these quieter systems. Safety. DHPs are safer than in-window units. In minisplit systems, small holes are drlled in walls for refrigerant lines and electrcal wires to pass, while in-window units require an open window that provides an easy entry point for intrders to enter the home (Ductless Depot). Corrosion reduction. Coastal consumers may view corrosion reduction as an added benefit of minisplit systems. Friedrich offers DHPs with several features that prevent system corrosion from salty outdoor air including condenser motors oriented horizontally in order to prevent water and debris from entering the unit (Wardell 2005). The outdoor units also have plastic fan blades as opposed to tyical metal blades found in ducted systems, as well as painted or powdered-coated base pans to prevent corrosion (Wardell 2005). Such product attributes would be of high value to those consumers trying to combat corrosion or living in a salty air environment. Page 26 Findings from In-Depth Interviews with Industry Experts Energy effciency. These ductless systems simply discharge air directly into the room which leads to better isolated effciencies (CFM Distrbutors, unpublished interview). Additionally, the inverter technology found in DHPs allows the systems to reduce the amount of draw upon the electrcal grd when compared to systems that are continuously turning on and off, according to a Mitsubishi Electrc representative (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). Moreover, the electricity brought into the DHP system to provide heating and cooling is almost entirely used for the end purpose according to a Mitsubishi Electrc representative. Add-on capabilty. DHPs provide an easy way to add on to existing ducted systems. Curently, many builders are inappropriately making their ducted air conditioners larger than necessary to handle a 50-person load (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). This tye of load would only be most likely necessary a couple of times per year for the consumer, rendering it extremely inefficient for the remainder of the year. Adding a DHP as a secondary system for such larger events within the home would be a much more efficient option (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Air quality. Daikin AC reported that these units are helpful in keeping dust out of the air stream in order to reduce allergy issues (Daikin AC, unpublished interview). This was seen as a compellng featue of the system. Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Consumers Living with DHPs Energy effciency. In addition to tax credits, rebate programs are also in effect because ofDHP's energy effciency capabilties. According to customers in telephone focus groups, a program was offered by the Bonnevile Power Administration (BPA) in Oregon which gave qualified homeowners a $2,000 rebate towards the cost of DHP installation. According to customers participating in the program, qualifications included a designation as a large user of electrcity with a low efficiency heat source. Consumers in the program who were interviewed mentioned that they are extremely satisfied with their DHPs and happy they participated in the rebate program. One consumer participating in the program commented that she wished she had known about these systems ten years ago. Many believed that offering more rebate programs and greater public dissemination of these financial incentives might promote increased DHP usage and adoption. Utilty bil savings. Consumers participating in telephone focus groups stated they saved money each month on their electric bil when compared with their bil using previous systems. One consumer participating in the BP A rebate program reported her electric bil dropped from $360 a month down to $60 a month after installing a DHP in her main living room. Other customers paricipating in the program who were interviewed reported a range of $60-$150 in monthly savings. One consumer paricipating in the BPA DHP rebate program explained that when buying a home, the heat source is not usually a top priority for homebuyers. If consumers Page 27 upgraded their systems soon after purchase, they would very easily make a return on their investment from electric bil savings, according to this consumer. She reasoned it may cost more initially, but that money can easily be recouped in electricity bil savings over a period of time. When speaking with consumers living with DHPs, each person interviewed reported utility bil savings as a significant advantage ofDHPs over other systems. Increased comfort. Many consumers who participated in telephone focus groups who lived with DHPs agreed that these systems added quality comfort to their rooms and home. Their previous systems-like ceilng radiant heating, baseboard heating, and Cadet electrc heaters--id not effectively heat the home. DHPs distribute the heat more evenly across a certain area when compared to these previous systems. Air quality. One customer in Oregon reported that one of the top advantages of DHPs is the improvement of the indoor air quality within her home. Running a business out of her residence with different people constantly fitering in and out, this consumer appreciated her system's capability to reduce allergen levels and particles. Noise reduction. Consumers living with DHPs who participated in telephone focus groups reported that the systems were quiet with one participant describing them as producing "background, white noise." One consumer joked that her refrigerator was louder than her DHP and believed it to be quieter than any forced air system she previously had in her home. Safety. DHPs could be considered safer than other tyes of heating systems like Cadet heaters. One consumer living with a DHP system reported a fire had started in her home as a result of a child placing a box against a Cadet heater. She felt that DHPs were safer because they were out of reach of children. Resale value of home. Two consumers living with DHPs believed that their system would add to the resale value of their home. The notion of removing an older system and replacing it with a DHP was thought to increase the technical heating and cooling capability of one's home and therefore improve the condition of the home. This enhancement would then increase the resale value according to these consumers. Maintenance and service. Consumers living with DHPs reported few maintenance problems with their systems. Most commonly, consumers provided simple filter cleaning and washed the coils every few months, according to builders in telephone focus groups. Many consumers in these groups had not even performed this service with their system stil performing effectively. Service issues that had arisen for these consumers included problems with temperature regulation, trouble setting the timer overnight, and thermostat issues. Installation time. Consumers living with a single DHP system who participated in telephone focus groups indicated that it took less than a day for a contractor, two HV AC installers, and an electrcian to install the system. One consumer living with multiple Page 28 units in his home said it took a week to install with two installers present but noted that this was the first residential DHP project for his installers. This shorter time frame for installation might be a compelling benefit of the system when compared to lengthier installation times of ducted systems. Reduction of greenhouse gases. When asked to respond to a statement that DHPs reduced greenhouse gases more than other HVAC systems, most consumers in the telephone focus groups agreed. However, many were unclear as to the actual meaning of the statement. One consumer in Oregon responded that greenhouse gases originated from the generation of energy and since her system used less energy, her personal greenhouse gas usage was reduced. Findings from Focus Groups of Consumers Not Living with DHPs Environmentallyfriendly. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups who were not currently using DHPs in their homes consistently indicated energy effciency as a compellng reason to use these systems. The notion that DHPs were better for the environment because they used less energy was an extremely persuasive benefit according to these participants-they concluded that using DHPs would be environmentally responsible. Utilty bil savings. Consumers partcipating in in-person focus groups who did not own a DHP agreed with the DHP owners who participated in telephone focus groups. Consumers in all in-person groups consistently raned saving money on utility bils as a top benefit ofDHPs. Increased comfort. In-person focus group participants not currently using DHPs in their homes regarded a DHP's ability to control heating and cooling in different areas or zones of the home to be a benefit of the product. This comfort customization feature, allowing homeowners to determine where and when to heat and cool a room, was highly regarded in these groups. Air quality. Participants in in-person focus groups indicated that improved air quality and mold reduction were indeed added benefits of the system. Noise reduction. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups also indicated quiet heating and cooling to be a valuable featue of these systems. Safety. In-person focus group paricipants indicated safety was an added benefit of DHPs as well. Since DHPs are hung on walls, they would be out of reach of not only children, but also pets and would not be disturbed by furniture. Resale value of home. Some in-person focus group participants not owning DHPs speculated that if product awareness was well entrenched among consumers, these systems would increase the resale value of the home. Another participant suggested DHPs were a way to modernize a home since windows would not be blocked by air conditioning units-a fact which might then increase the desirability of the home. Page 29 Installation. Consumers in in-person focus groups believed DHPs had advantages during the installation process as well. The idea that DHPs could be quickly and easily installed with less interrption to the homeowner was extremely attactive to participants. Additionally, some consumers in in-person focus groups thought that if installation was easier than other systems, perhaps DHPs could be installed by DIYers. Ifthis was tre, one participant mentioned this would be extremely beneficial since the homeowner would be able to install and maintain the system and would not have to call people at odd hours to service the equipment. Livable space. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups regarded the idea that DHPs did not compromise the livable square footage of a home to be a compellng benefit of the product. Participants stressed the importance of having a HVAC system that did not impede on one's livable space like other systems might. Since DHPs could satisfy this preference, this may be a benefit to stress to potential consumers. Page 30 Barriers to Consumer Adoption Findings from Secondary Literature Review Aesthetics. Minisplit systems have an indoor unit that mounts to the wall of a room. Even though these units are meant to be discrete and blend with home décor (Grasso 2007) and are less obtrsive than PTAC or window units (Ductless Depot), they are not invisible like traditional ducted systems (Contractor 2006). Based upon secondary research, aesthetics are stil considered a primary problem among consumers. Refrigerant lines installed on the outside of the home can be aesthetically unpleasing as well. Varying colors and tyes of siding can cause diffculty when tring to hide refrgerant lines (Wardell 2005). Some contractors use white vinyl channels to encase the lines, making them less conspicuous than traditional copper piping (Wardell 2005). However, the lines are stil readily apparent. With both the outdoor and indoor units potentially causing visual concerns, consumers may not opt for mini split systems. Cost. For an HVAC system in a new home, DHPs are tyically more expensive than central ducted systems. Most systems cost about $1,500-$2,000 per ton of cooling capacity, which is 30% more than central systems and double the cost of similar capacity window units (Ductless Depot). Additionally, DHPs are stil not considered tyical practice in the US, so installation costs can be higher because of the limited number of qualified installers and smaller volumes of the product sold (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). Minisplit systems may require the use of either a separate heating system or backup electrc resistant heating in instances where ambient air drops below a certin temperature-although some partcipants in this project reported sufficient heating without a backup source. The requirement of an additional system can increase start-up costs and the use of backup electrc heating in colder temperature increases operating costs (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). When retrofitting a home, the cost premium increases noticeably with a minisplit system (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). Existing ducted systems would only need new indoor and outdoor units while a new minisplit system would need refrgerant lines installed as well (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). Consumers might then choose to simply add on to existing ductwork instead of adding anew, ductless system. Awareness of product. In the past, ductless manufacturers promoted their products exclusively to trade contractors. Therefore, consumer awareness of these products is stil considerably low (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Manufacturers have begun to market these systems to consumers in an attempt to make the product demand consumer-driven instead of contractor-driven (Thermal Supply, unpublished interview). Room type and size. Ductless systems are not designed for every room in a residence. Rooms that need consistently low temperatures like wine cellars are not ideal for DHP Page 31 usage (Wardlaw Fuels). Additionally, Samsung cautions that DHPs should be placed in computer rooms only with the addition of a low ambient kit (Wardlaw Fuels). These exceptions could prevent consumers from choosing this tye of ductless system for either their entire home or rooms within their home. Samsung also stresses the importance of choosing the correct capacity DHP for the desired space. Short cycling due to air recirculation can occur when a large capacity unit is placed in a small room and can lead to system reliability problems (Wardlaw Fuels). Consumers must be sure that they are choosing an appropriate system for the size of the room. If reliability problems arise due to issues in sizing, DHP's reputation might be diminished. Findings from In-Depth Intervews with Industry Experts Aesthetics. Ifprice were equivalent, aesthetics would probably be the biggest disadvantage ofDHPs to consumers according to CFM Distrbutors (CFM Distributors, unpublished interview). Many consumers spend a large amount oftime and money on their homes and do not want such a large unit on their wall (CFM Distributors, unpublished interview). In an attempt to approve the aesthetics, manufacturers have begun making the indoor units much smaller. Currently, these units are approximately half the size of what they were five years ago, which eases the impact to the consumer (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). Regardless, minisplit systems are substantially more visible than their ducted counterparts-a fact which might be a significant barrer to widespread u.s. DHP adoption. It is necessary to note that many DHP consumers are extremely satisfied with the aesthetics of the system according to some industr experts. A Mitsubishi Electric representative noticed that mini split customers often complained at the sight of their system at first, but gradually grew accustomed to the look within a month of installation (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). A Home Energy Sciences representative emphatically agreed that consumers did not mind the look of their minisplit systems (Home Energy Sciences, unpublished interview). Low temperature heating. Homeowners living in colder areas may choose not to implement DHP technology. A representative from Carrer stated that DHP systems wil most likely be unable to compete with ducted systems because the U.S. is a gas heat market (Carrier, unpublished interview). Currently, ductless systems are not nearly as effcient as gas in cold weather because minisplits have rarely been engineered worldwide for low temperature heating (below 24 degrees Fahrenheit) (Carrer, unpublished interview). In temperatures below 24 degrees Fahrenheit, a supplemental heat source is needed to effectively heat the space. Page 32 Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Consumers Living with DHPs Cost. Consumers who participated in telephone groups speculated that systems tyically cost anywhere from $2000-$4000. One consumer participating in a BP A rebate program mentioned that she might have reconsidered purchasing the system or might have saved more money to purchase the system if the rebate had not been offered. One consumer in a telephone focus group hypothesized that if systems eventually became more popular and were installed more frequently, the cost of these systems might decrease due to manufactuer competition. Otherwise, consumers may choose traditional ducted systems based on installation costs alone. Awareness of product. Consumers living with DHPs who were interviewed agreed that these systems are not in widespread use. Most of these consumers were first introduced to the systems when they were picked to participate in a rebate program offered by their electric company. Others first heard about DHPs from friends in the residential heating and cooling business. Consumers owning DHPs who paricipated in telephone focus groups mentioned that when new visitors first see their units, many do not know what the product is. After seeing and experiencing the capabilities of DHPs, their visitors often inquire about purchasing and installng a system of their own. Consumers living with DHPs who were interviewed also mentioned that the public needs to be better educated about these systems. They argued that ifmore consumers knew about DHPs in general, they would ask contractors to install them in their homes or remodeling projects. One consumer in a telephone focus group mentioned builders should be made more aware of these systems since they are often the people that decide which heat source to install in homes. Another participant in BPA DHP rebate progrm suggested these systems should be available at local big-boxes and home and garden shows in order to guarantee maximum public exposure. These consumers believed monetary savings, convenience and comfort of the system, as well as the environmental benefits should be stressed to the public. Lifestyle. Another type of lifestyle change may be necessary when using the remote control. One consumer in a telephone focus group mentioned that it was diffcult at first to use a remote control for a heating and air conditioning system. She reported the remote must be pointed directly at the register in order to adjust the temperature. She believed this sensitivity to be a disadvantage of the system. Aesthetics. Though a thorough review of existing literature detailed negative perceptions regarding aesthetics ofDHPs, many consumers who participated in telephone focus groups living with DHPs did not agree. Many mentioned that they noticed the system at first but grew accustomed to the indoor aesthetics within a month, while another consumer believed it to be more aesthetically pleasing than her previous air conditioning unit. An Oregon consumer mentioned that when other people entered the room, their first comment referred to the warmth of the room, not to the appearance of the unit. However, other consumers in these telephone focus groups reported that visitors to their home often commented negatively on the outward appearance of their DHP system. Page 33 Findings from Focus Groups of Consumers Not Living with DHPs Resale value of home. It is important to note that some participants in in~person focus groups questioned the prospect of DHPs adding to the resale value of the home. One consumer was uncertain every homeowner could keep up with the new technology of the system and believed there was risk associated with using a technology that was not widespread. Another participant flatly stated that a home with DHPs would never have the same value as a home with a forced air system. Since these consumers viewed DHPs as more expensive than other systems because of initial costs, they regarded DHPs as an investment. When viewed in this manner, these consumers indicated that the investment might not be recouped since homeowners are often transient. One consumer wondered if a homeowner could break even after 3-5 years of purchasing DHPs. Other consumers in an in-person focus group mentioned that if they were to invest as much as $10,000 on their home, they would not put that money towards a DHP system. They reasoned there were better options on which to spend their money like kitchen or bathroom renovations. If this opinion is widespread, it may prove a barrier to widespread DHP adoption. Aesthetics. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups, who had never seen DHPs before, consistently disliked the concept of a visible indoor unit hanging on the wall inside the home. They indicated the indoor unit seemed large and would rather it be invisible. They thought it would not fit in with the décor of most rooms. However, it was noted during in-person consumer focus groups that the outside unit blends well into the landscape and some appreciated the small size of the outdoor units. Supplemental heating. Consumers in in-person focus groups disliked the idea of needing a supplemental heating system when using DHPs. They believed this would be a large barrer to widespread adoption of these systems and were confused as to why exactly an additional system would be necessary in bathrooms and bedrooms. Awareness of product. Consumers in in-person focus groups also indicated a lack of awareness among the general public regarding DHPs and suggested HV AC contractors, realtors, and other stakeholders need to be better educated about the product. Fuel preference. Some consumers in in-person focus groups believed that most homeowners have a preference for gas heating and not electrc. One consumer believed gas to be more prestigious than electrc heating especially when thinking about gas stoves. Consumer preference for gas may hinder adoption rates for DHPs. System operation. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups who did not own DHPs were confused as to how the system operated. Many questions arose regarding how the system worked in general and more specifically, how it actually heats, cools, filters, and moves air throughout the entire house. Other questions centered on placement of the unit. Many participants were confused when they saw a picture of an indoor DHP unit placed high on a wall above a television. Many wondered if the unit had to be placed high on a wall, and if so, questioned how this could efficiently and effectively heat a Page 34 room if warm air rises. Also, participants speculated that every room in the house might not have an ideal DHP location and questioned the possibility of changing the location of DHPs post- installation. Participants in these groups were also confused as to how the piping was run through walls, what coolant was used, and how the system was cleaned. Others questioned DHPs track records regarding maintenance. They wanted to know how long the product would last, the average period of warrnty, and what maintenance schedules to expect. Terminology. In-person consumer focus group participants were confused by terms related to DHP technology. The term "minisplit" was confusing for a few participants as was the term "energy efficient." For example, when given a list ofDHP benefits, participants questioned which systems DHPs were compared with in order for DHPs to warrant the distinction as "more energy effcient." Trusted Sources of Information for Consumers Consumers in telephone focus groups. Consumers living with DHPs who participated in telephone focus groups reported trsting a variety of sources when learning about DHPs. Consumers overwhelming agreed that they trsted their HV AC contractors and those involved in rebate programs trsted their DHP consultant. One consumer mentioned she went to the Departent of Energy's website to learn about DHPs and also read the DHP brochure three times. Another consumer reported Consumer Reports as a trsted source of information for this product. DHP manufacturer's websites were also trsted. Consumers in in-person focus groups. Consumers participating in in-person focus groups also trsted Consumer Reports, HV AC contrctors, and manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Electrc, Lennox, Trane, and Carrer. Utility companies, builders, electricians, Better Business Bureau, and current DHP users were also viewed as trstworthy sources. Google was a trsted search engine while Wikipedia and websites focusing on green building and energy effciency were also trsted. Information found in Builder Magazine, home shows, segments heard on the radio, specifically National Public Radio, were also trsted. Page 35 Compelling Value Propositions for Builders Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Builders Using DHPs Green building programs. One builder in a telephone focus group reported building a model luxury home with 14 DHP units as a way of gaining LEED program certification for indoor air quality and energy effciency. This builder speculated that DHPs wil playa pivotal role in the future of green building. He hypothesized that DHPs would help residential developments become self-providing, net-zero communities because of the energy efficiency of the systems. If builders increased participation in green building programs, perhaps DHPs wil gain more popularity. Another builder in a telephone focus group reported he was an Energy Star builder and implemented these systems for indoor air quality and energy effciency purposes as well. Certification in various green building programs might compel other builders to use DHPs. Diferentiation. Builders in telephone focus groups reported that offering residential DHPs in homes allowed their companies to stand-out from competition. DHPs, like other new technology, can differentiate one builder from another. One builder mentioned that he offered DHPs as an option to give customers design flexibility while another builder in a telephone focus group mentioned that he did not market DHPs specifically to customers but instead marketed them as a piece of the Energy Star package. Potential homebuyers were then specifically educated about the product by a sales agent further along in the buying process. The LEED builder interviewed used DHPs as a marketing tool in his model home. He reported that he hoped to have tours of the model home to teach members of the building community like architects, engineers, and realtors about DHPs with the hope the information would be passed along to consumers. Customer satisfaction. Many builders who participated in telephone focus groups liked the ability to offer a quiet product that added even heating and cooling comfort to a person's home. DHPs allowed customers to have a more effcient heating and cooling system with zone control and also cut down on their electric bil each month. Many builders in telephone focus groups who built and/or remodeled homes with DHPs mentioned that by satisfying their customers and providing these DHP benefits, they get more business through customer referrals. Builders in telephone focus groups did not report any delays associated with DHP installation which contributed to the satisfaction of their consumers. Supplemental heating. A few builders who paricipated in telephone focus groups reported that supplemental heating was not an issue as with other heat pumps because the effciency of the systems did not drop off until around 17-15 degrees. One builder continued saying that backup, Cadet heating could be used on days or nights where the temperature would dip below that temperature. He stressed that this does not affect, in his mind, the overall benefits of the system. Another builder disagreed with the need for. a backup system in colder temperatures. He reasoned that if the home's building envelope boasted less than one air exchange per 24 hour period through passive air, once the Page 36 envelope was heated to the desired temperature, passive air heat loss would not be an issue. If it did become an issue, he considered propane fireplaces located throughout the house to be sufficient to heat the home. Cost. A few builders interviewed in telephone focus groups believed that installation costs were similar to those of trditional systems. One builder reasoned that higher installation costs were a result of inexperienced HVAC installers who were less educated about DHP systems. Space constraints. Builders who participated in telephone focus groups also mentioned these systems were beneficial for areas with space constraints like condos. This was seen as a compellng reason to use these systems. Findings from Focus Groups of Builders Not Using DHPs Installation. Many builders participating in in-person focus groups believed the quick installation of DHPs to be a top reason to use these systems in residential construction. These builders believed that using DHPs would make scheduling other subcontractors easier and would allow for less time in the field. A one-day installation was viewed as much more desirable than installation that took a week. Customer satisfaction. Builders paricipating in in-person focus groups agreed with builders in telephone focus groups and indicated that satisfying their customers was a compellng reason to use DHPs. Builder characteristics. Builders in in-person focus groups believed builders constrcting or remodeling smaller attached apartents, condominiums, and smaller homes would most likely adopt this product. One builder indicated that their customers do not choose what type of HV AC system is installed. Instead, this builder makes the decision for customers. Targeting these tyes of builders may be beneficial towards greater residential DHP adoption. Page 37 Barriers to Builder Adoption Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Builders Using DHPs New technology. Builders in telephone focus groups commented that new technology is often difficult to introduce to those in the homebuilding industr because stakeholders are often fearful of change. Oftentimes, builders rely on dependable and proven techniques in residential homebuilding. Though DHPs have been around for over two decades, some builders interviewed believed that ducted systems were more reliable and proven from both a builder and consumer standpoint. A builder who participated in a telephone focus group mehtioned that it might be risky to introduce this product to consumers, thereby straying from something proven like a traditional system and aligning oneself with a questionable product. Another builder who participated in a telephone focus group speculated that even HVAC installers were wary of tring this new product because it deviates from the norm. These builders argued that because DHPs were a new product with new technology, widespread adoption might be hindered. Finding a DHP installer. Builders interviewed in telephone focus groups reported diffculty finding installers who were wiling to stand by their DHP product. When looking for a DHP installer, these builders often first approached their standard HV AC installer and inquired about the product. One builder in the group mentioned that his HV AC installer who uses DHPs and traditional systems often tres to talk him out of putting DHPs in homes because the installer doesn't believe they are as reliable. Aesthetics. Builders in one telephone focus group believed appearance to be a disadvantage of these systems. Outside condensate lines are hard to hide according to these builders which made the outside of the house less appealing. Some builders interviewed also believed there is an economic stigma attached to these units whereas they would be more accepted in a condo than in a custom home. Ducted systems can be hidden and are more accepted by consumers according to these builders. Product awareness. Some builders in telephone focus groups believed that there was a lack ofDHP awareness. One builder in a telephone focus groups believed that architects, mechanical engineers, and design professionals should be the focus of marketing. He stressed a paradigm change was necessary because designers are so accustomed to designing homes with central systems. Other builders suggested manufacturers also need to target more HVAC installers. They also mentioned that consumer awareness regarding DHPs was low and would offer more DHPs if requested by customers. Noise. Though some consumers living with DHPs who participated in telephone focus groups and information found in the secondary literature phase of this project suggested that DHPs offer noise reduction, it is important to note that some builders interviewed during telephone focus groups disagreed and believed that consumers Page 38 sometimes mentioned their DHP was louder than their previous systems because the DHP was located on a wall inside the room and not hidden. This might prevent builders from implementing DHP technology. Heating during construction. One builder in the telephone focus group mentioned the need to provide an outside heat source during constrction. When he builds condo units during the winter, the units need to be heated in order for the dryall to dr properly. When he uses forced air systems, they are functioning during this timeframe. When he uses DHPs in condo units, he incurs an added expense because he needs a heat trailer to run heat to each condo unit to help with the dring. Humidity. One builder interviewed in a telephone focus group mentioned a problem with humidity. For instance, in humid climates like Florida and Texas, he noticed a problem with some DHPs causing humidity build-up in the room and leaving the room damp and sticky. This builder hypothesized that build-up may occur because the system may not have been designed correctly or because installers were not aware of the set point. Though dehumidification was previously stated as a sellng point of the system for consumers in coastal areas, such discrepancy may deter builders from implementing DHP technology in humid climates. Findings from Focus Groups of Builders Not Using DHPs Aesthetics. Builders participating in in-person focus groups who did not build or remodel homes with DHPs also disliked the aesthetics of the indoor unit. They regarded the indoor units as unattractive after seeing a pictue of the units hung on the wall and believed them to be bigger than air vents tyically seen with traditional systems. New technology. Some builders in in-person focus groups indicated that traditional systems work very well and require few callbacks. These builders did not see a reason to switch to a different system that incorporated fairly new technology. Product awareness. Builders in in-person focus groups agreed that more education on the par of residential builders, architects, and decision-making customers is necessary in order to successfully bring this product to market. By introducing the product to these players within the homebuilding industry, product adoption may become more widespread. Increasing media coverage of this product would also increase public awareness according to this builder. Colder climates. Additionally, some builders who paricipated in in-person focus groups indicated that heat pumps were more effcient in moderate climates while gas was more effcient in colder temperatures, lending credibility to the notion that homeowners living in milder climates might be more likely to adopt DHPs. Humidity. One builder who participated in an in-person focus group mentioned that humidity is necessary in certain circumstances within a home. For example, some hardwood floors and furniture require humidification. If DHPs boast lower Page 39 dehumidification levels, builders may choose not to use these systems in homes that require certain levels of constant humidity. Fuel choice. Some builders in in-person focus groups indicated that customers prefer gas to electrc heating. Builders in these groups indicated that almost all homebuyers expect gas and very few actually request electrc. Natural gas is cheaper and associated with luxury according to these builders. A few builders in these groups mentioned that when customers do request electrc, they do so with the intention to implement solar technology. Customer preference for gas may hinder builder adoption of these ductless systems. System operation. Like consumers, builders paricipating in in-person focus groups had questions regarding how DHPs worked. Specifically, these builders questioned how air was distributed, where the condensation traveled, and whether DHPs were self-contained units. Some builders in these groups questioned and even doubted the dissolution of hot and cold spots during the system's operation. When reacting to the DHP concept description during in-person focus groups, builders simply wanted more information and data regarding the product. Page 40 Learning About nHPs Trusted Sources of Information Builders in telephone focus groups. Builders in telephone focus groups reported trsting a variety of sources when learning about DHPs. Many trsted their HV AC professional installing the product. Others mentioned trsting their supplier, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), manufacturer's websites, buildingscience.com, and trade magazines such as the Journal of Light Construction. Builders in these groups mentioned they spent time researching the product before introducing it in homes. Builders in in-person focus groups. Builders in in-person focus groups also trsted manufacturers as well trade magazines such as Builder Insight, Builder Magazine, Green Builder, Custom Builder, and Spokane Home Builder. Learning Process Builders in telephone focus groups. Builders with DHP experience reported an easy learing process when first gathering information about DHPs. Many said it was a simple technology to learn and most gained information from their installer. One builder in a telephone focus group reported a slight learning cure because of the newness of the technology (e.g. the remote, learning how to adjust the system, etc.). They were motivated to learn about the product because of its ties to green building progrms, dual heating and cooling features, and in some instances, they simply needed such a product to fit a specific application. Builders in in-personfocus groups. If they wanted to learn more about DHPs, builders in in-person focus groups who had never used DHPs indicated they would go to their HV AC contractor. If their contrctor did not recommend the system, these builders would choose not to use DHPs in the homes they build and remodeL. These builders also said they would go to governmental and energy rating websites and if they were trly interested in using them, they would go to various manufactuer's websites. Page 41 Compelling Value Propositions for HVAC Contractors Findings from Secondary Literature Review Installation. DHPs are ideal for residences that have limited installation space . (Grasso 2007). Central systems require extensive ductwork throughout the home, while minisplit systems require only wire and piping to be run between the outdoor and indoor units (Grasso 2007). DHPs are relatively easy to install for those suffciently trained (Toolbase Services), and installed systems seldom need callbacks (Smith 2007). Installation time typically ranges from 3-4 hours with two installers (Siegel 2001). Another added benefit ofDHPs involves the fact that an electrcian must only visit once to install the outside electrcal box since the system uses low voltage connections between the indoor and outdoor units (Skaer 2005). HV AC contractors can also complete the installation since fuse disconnects and conduits are rarely used (Skaer 2005). System maintenance. Minisplits require simple maintenance tasks including a filter and condenser coil cleaning every three months in order to prevent system problems (Smith 2007). This task can easily be conducted by consumers without needing to call upon HV AC contractors; another added benefit of these ductless systems. In order to better understand problems if they do arise, technologically advanced DHP systems are often equipped with self-diagnostic functions. Sensors embedded within the system are constantly monitoring humidity and temperature changes and sending information to the logic module. If problems with the system occur, the logic module displays a fault code that consumers can use to try to resolve the problem. If service does need to be called, technicians with diagnostic equipment can use the fault code to evaluate the problem more effectively (Contractor 2006). These self-diagnostic functions could be a sellng point to contractors since they offer technicians an immediate understanding of the problem at hand. Findings from In-depth Interviews with Industry Experts Installation education. Manufacturers often offer training programs for contractors installng their DHP systems. Mitsubishi Electric's Diamond Dealer program offers accreditation to contractors who complete their certification course (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). Offered in multiple locations across the United States over a two-day period, this cöurse introduces installers to the residential and light commercial Mr. Slim series, features of the systems, and installation and troubleshooting procedures (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). Mitsubishi Electrc says this program provides contractors superior knowledge regarding minisplit systems and dramatically reduces installer callbacks (Mitsubishi Electric, unpublished interview). Mitsubishi also offers continuing education courses. Many HV AC installers who participated in telephone focus groups had participated in Mitsubishi Electrc's training classes and were satisfied with the programs. Page 42 According to a Fujitsu representative, Fujitsu also offers 52 national training classes with an average of 60-1 00 attendees at each session (Fujitsu, unpublished interview). At the completion of the training, these installers can be considered qualified to install the manufacturer's product. System Maintenance. DHPs are considered one of the most sophisticated types of HV AC systems in the world and are simple to troubleshoot, maintain, and install according to Home Energy Sciences (Home Energy Sciences, unpublished interview). Option. Most contractors would view DHPs as a relatively new option within the HV AC industr according to the ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Contractors cannot surive on just one method or system, so many would welcome another method to sell to their clients. Contractors in telephone focus groups agreed and indicated that having an extra option was beneficial when you cannot put in ductwork. Therefore the ACCA believes that contractors would provide no real barrer to DHP adoption (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Contractors Using DHPs Installation. HV AC installers intervewed in telephone focus groups mentioned a shorter installation timeframe when implementing DHP technology when compared to the time it takes to install a ducted system. A few installers also indicated that limited tools were needed for proper DHP installation. Necessary tools include HVAC tubing cutters, set of binders, crescent wrench, allen wrench, set of gauges, vacuum pump, and microngauge. HV AC installers in telephone focus groups reported a basic, 2-ton minisplit residential unit with electrcal ranges from $3500-4500. System maintenance. Though outdoor coil cleaning is needed occasionally, HV AC contractors who currently install DHPs and who participated in telephone focus groups reported rarely having serious problems with DHPs and on the uncommon occasion they do, there is a fudamental problem with that individual system. One contractor described the system as "either workig or not." One builder in a telephone focus group who had used about 50 residential DHPs only had one system with a problem. When maintenance and service is needed, it is often a part of a maintenance and service agreement according to installers interviewed. Application. HV AC contractors who install DHPs who participated in telephone focus groups believed that DHP systems help alleviate or solve a problem, and many reported that they first learned about DHPs because a situation arose where they needed a different tye of system. These systems can be employed in areas where traditional ducted systems cannot go-a fact which could be considered a huge sellng point when installers are faced with such a problem. A minisplits outdoor unit can also help alleviate problems. In the City of Seattle and in Portland, outdoor units must be at least 5 feet away from the propert line. Two HV AC Page 43 installers in telephone focus groups mentioned that Mitsubishi Electric's ductless system can easily be applied to meet this criterion which is another advantage of the system. Diferentiation. HV AC contractors who currently offer residential DHPs who took part in telephone focus groups believed they were in the minority. That is, they believed most HVAC contractors do not know about this technology. Like builders, this offering allows their companies to differentiate themselves from others while offering a product that meets a certain need. This also allowed installers to satisfy their customers which was imperative since, according to one participant, 50-70% of his DHP business was based upon customer referrals. Green building programs. Similar to builders, HV AC installers in telephone focus groups also mentioned LEED's residential green building program as motivation to use DHPs. One installer in Idaho reported gaining extra points towards certification for using DHPs in homes. This was considered an advantage ofDHPs according to this installer. Contractor characteristics. A typical DHP installer, according to one installer who participated in a telephone focus group, would be an employee of a company that was interested in satisfying the needs of the customer and who had time for training. He hypothesized that a DHP installer would not be an employee of a "mom and pop" business who primarily answered service calls. Findings from Focus Groups of Contractors Not Using DHPs Installation. Contractors in in-person focus groups who had never installed DHPs reported that an easy installation that was not labor intensive would be an extremely attractive benefit of the system. System maintenance. Some HV AC contractors in in-person focus groups who were unfamiliar with DHPs also believed system maintenance was a compellng reason to use these systems. However these contractors predicted that if maintenance were required on DHP systems, costs would be the same as traditional systems, or higher because DHPs sometimes require multiple air handlers throughout the house and thus generate greater revenue. Application. Contractors in in-person focus groups liked having another option for HV AC. This was perceived to be an attactive benefit of the system because this technology would make it possible to positively respond to the heating and cooling needs of customers where ductwork was impossible. Rebate. Contractors in in-person focus groups liked the idea of a rebate for using DHPs. One contractor mentioned that an EnergyStar rebate would be a compelling reason to use these systems. Page 44 Barriers to Contractor Adoption Findings from Secondary Literature Review Installation. Installation ofDHPs differs from ducted system installation and, consequently, DHP installers require specialized trining. DHP installers must properly size each indoor unit and install each in an ideal location. Various issues can arise if ductless systems are improperly installed, including problems with temperature and humidity control and wasted energy due to incorrectly positioned air handlers that short- cycle (Ductless Depot). Qualified DHP installers are not nearly as prevalent as those trained to install ducted systems (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). Additionally,. HV AC contractors are more comfortble working with ducts than refrgerant lines and wil shy away from ductless systems (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrgeration Distrbutors International, unpublished interview). The average HV AC contractor knows about ductless systems, but less than half of contrctors have actually installed them (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Many contractors view DHPs as a last-resort option (Contractor 2006). Instead of installng DHPs based on their virtes, contractors wil only install ductless systems if there are space limitations within the house or if there severe problems with the ductwork (Siegel 2001). Cost. Higher DHP costs are also a factor. Often, residential contractors see minisplits as an added expense they are unwiling to pass onto their customers (Siegel 2001). Refrigerant leakage. Another downside to ductless systems is the possibility of refrigerant leakage. In ductless systems, refrgerant is piped from an outdoor unit through small insulated refrigerant lines directly to each wall unit. These long, extended refrgerant lines increase the potential for refrgerant leaks which can lead to refrigerant volume loss and problems with the system's effectiveness (Roth, Westphalen, and Brodrck 2006). If contractors see this as a frequent problem in previously installed minisplit systems, they may choose not to install these ductless systems in other residences. Findings from In-Depth Interviews with Industry Experts Number of components. Ductless systems require multiple units to heat or cool an entire home, a fact that creates the potential for numerous refrgerant leaks or drain overfows. In contrast, ducted systems with one A-coil in the basement have only one potential leakage area. The decentralized nature of ductless systems creates the opportity for multiple units needing servicing, as opposed to just one central unit (Air Conditioning Contractors of America, unpublished interview). Findings from Telephone Focus Groups of Contractors Using DHPs Awareness. Current HVAC installers offering residential DHP installation believed that other installers, in general, were not familiar with the product. Some believed that other installers are not aware of it because they are scared of technology or did not want to spend money on trining. Though many current installers interviewed reported enjoying the ability to differentiate themselves by offering the product, they Page 45 believed manufacturers should advertise by emphasizing energy efficiency and offer more training classes to HV AC installers. Another HV AC contractor in a telephone focus group believed that oftentimes other installers were aware ofDHPs but install them infrequently. This could cause problems with installers unable to gain proficiency in DHP installation. Better technical support should be available to those who install these systems infrequently according to this installer. Application specifc. Though residential DHP application can be considered an advantage or selling point in that they can be installed to solve a problem, the same reasoning can be used as a disadvantage of the system. Many HV AC installers in the telephone focus groups believed DHPs to be solely application specific. These installers first learned ofDHPs during specific applications where traditional systems could not be used. Many commented these systems were appropriate in retrofits, add-ons, and historic applications but few had used them in new construction. One installer in a telephone focus group believed this was a custom-tye product only installed when the end-user was involved since the homeowner would be the person using the system and seeing the viability of it. He reported that production builders would not put these systems in their spec homes because it would not be cost-effective and because builders think the systems look cheap. However, this installer said he has returned to these homes once the owner has moved in and installed DHPs. Aesthetics. HVAC installers who participated in telephone focus groups also reported aesthetics to be a disadvantage of DHPs. They mentioned customer resistance when first viewing the indoor wall unit with resistance fading away with time. Installers in the telephone groups also mentioned the unsightly aesthetics on the outside of the home, adding that it was diffcult to conceal the condensate lines. One installer interviewed mentioned he tred to hide the lines in order to better satisfy his customers. However, these techniques can often add time and cost to the job. Condensate pump. HV AC contractors who install DHPs and participated in telephone focus groups reported issues with condensate pumps when these systems are installed on inside walls. In traditional ducted systems, condensate pumps are located in the air handler away from the conditioned space. In DHPs, the condensate pump is also located in the air handler but inside the conditioned space and are therefore noisier than traditional systems. One HV AC installer who participated in a telephone focus group also mentioned that condensate pumps were often more challenging to install especially if the installer was inexperienced. Operating manuals for these condensate pumps are often written in non-English languages according to one installer, adding to the problem. Supplemental heating. One contractor who installed DHPs reported that he did not sell DHPs as an energy-savings system because it cannot operate in all temperatures. This contractor indicated that at 19 degrees or below, baseboard heat was stil necessary. Page 46 Findings from Focus Groups of Contractors Not Using DHPs Installation. Some HV AC contractors who participated in in-person focus groups who had never installed a DHP system doubted the claims of easy installation. Some believed that quick and easy installation would only occur if one was installing them on outside walls. Another HV AC contractor doubted the system took a half-day to install. Instead, this contractor speculated installation would actually take two installers per day and per zone plus the cost of an electrcian ifhigh voltage wiring was necessary between indoor and outdoor units. Another HVAC contractor also questioned DHP's advertised easy installation and believed that contrctors must be certain of proper DHP installation before even attempting installation. Regardless, these participants speculated that DHP installers would need practice in order to gain confidence to install such systems. Awareness. Contractors in in-person focus groups also believed that more product awareness was necessary. These contractors also wanted free training including how DHPs are built and reasons for using the systems. They requested to speak directly with engineers to completely understand the fuctionality of the system in order to fully exploit the benefits. Contractors who participated in in-person focus groups suggested that manufacturers and distrbutors educate inspectors, architects, and designers as well as custom builders. Another contractor indicated that once other HV AC installers were aware of the product, they could push the product to builders. Application specifc. HVAC contractors participating in in-person focus groups believed retrofits to be the ideal application for these systems as well as historic homes, nursing homes, townhomes, home offices, computer rooms and bonus rooms. Aesthetics. HV AC contrctors who participated in in-person focus groups and who were unfamiliar with these systems reported the systems to be obtrsive and too large upon first glance. They also mentioned that consumers do not like "jun" going up the side of their homes. With possible unattctive visual characteristic of the system's appearance, HV AC installers may be less likely to offer these systems to customers or builders. Supplemental heating. Many HV AC contractors who participated in in-person focus groups disliked the notion that supplementary heating was necessary in cold temperatures. Cost. Some contractors in in-person focus groups doubted these systems were inexpensive in residential settings. They hypothesized that the cost of several consoles would be more expensive than the cost of trditional ductwork. Additionally, some of these contractors reported extr costs would be incurred due to redeveloping and redesigning homes with these systems. Components. Some HVAC contractors in in-person focus groups worred that with so many indoor units comprised of blowers and coils, the system would be extremely fragile. The frailty of components coupled with potential system fragility may deter some contractors from installing the system. Page 47 System operation. Contractors who participated in in-person focus groups doubted some elements of the system's operation. For example, they still believed DHPs would produce uneven heating and cooling and doubted claims that the system used 75% less energy to produce the same heating and cooling results as baseboard heating and window unit air conditioners. Trusted Sources of Information Contractors using DHPs. Current HV AC installers offering DHPs who participated in telephone focus groups trusted their distributors and manufacturers of the product. The internet was also mentioned as a source of information. One installer mentioned he would type in "ductless heat pump" into a search engine in order to learn more about them. They expressed a wish for more continuing education classes and in- house training sessions with manufactues in order to learn about new products and technology within the DHP product category. Contractors not using DHPs. HV AC contractors who do not curently install DHPs who participated in in-person focus groups also trsted a variety of sources including distributors, brand name suppliers, and utility commissions. Some of these contractors also trsted the Energy Trust of Oregon and believed that this organization inspired consumer confidence because it offered independent third part credibility. Importance of brand Brand was important according to HV AC installers in telephone focus groups. Many were wiling to pay more money for a better system. One installer in a telephone group who had used multiple DHP brands, commented that certain manufacturers have parts that are harder to obtain while others had warranty issues. He reported that one must be selective when choosing a brand because ofthese problems. Participants in telephone focus groups were mixed as to whom chooses the brand of minisplit system. Some telephone focus group participants believed that customers often found installers on a manufacturer's website and therefore knew they wanted a certain brand. Others reported the decision regarding brand was made by the installer. Page 48 Compelling Value/Selling Propositions and Potential Barriers for Distributors Findings from In-Depth Interviews with Industry Experts Price. DHPs can be considered a more profitable product for distrbutors than unitary systems because of the price premium associated with them. Ductless systems provide more gross profit for distributors according to HARDI (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International, unpublished interview). Materials handling. HARD I notes that the handling of ductless systems is much easier for distributors when compared to traditional units (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Distrbutors International, unpublished interview). Distributors are often concerned with limited warehouse space and delivery of large products like central, ducted systems. Smaller, compact DHPs may have material handling advantages for both distrbutors as well as installers (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International, unpublished interview). Current housing practices. In the U.S., most homes are typically built with central air conditioning. Ducted systems are part of the basic product offering and the home's HVAC system usually doesn't enter into consideration when consumers decide upon new home features (Trane, unpublished interview). Houses are tyically built with a central air conditioner and one outdoor unit. According to Trae, this may change as VRF technology, which allows for multiple indoor units on a singular outdoor unit, increases in popularity. Location. Certain geographic areas are more suitable for DHPs according to HARD! (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrgeration Distrbutors International, unpublished interview). The Pacific coast, which is subject to an intense energy effciency effort, would be a primary example of where distrbutors should sell DHPs. In areas such as the Midwest and parts of the South, where homes are more spread out, DHP distrbution may be less widespread (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrgeration Distrbutors International, unpublished interview).

Ductless Heat Pump (DHP) How it works: A DHP is a heating and cooling system that does not require duct work in a home. The DHP consists of two components - An outdoor unit and an indoor unit. Additionally, an outdoor unit can support several indoor units (also called air-handlers) for different areas of the house. The outdoor unit sits on blocks or a small concrete slab outside of your home and is about the size of a large suitcase. This outdoor unit delivers power and coolant to the indoor unit/s that in a typical installation hangs on a wall or is recessed in a ceiling. The indoor unit is typically about the size of a computer printer (lO"x8"x35") What it does: DHPs can be configured to heat and cool an entire house. Each unit can heat and cool the main living area of your house. Bedrooms and bathrooms may need supplemental heating. DHPs typically use 75% less energy to produce a higher quality of heating and cooling than traditional baseboard heating and window unit air conditioners. DHPs also save resources by letting home owners heat and cool only the spaces being used as opposed to central systems that maintain the temperature in the entire house.

The indoor unit is typically about the size of a computer printer (lO"x8"x35") DHPs are an economical heating and cooling choice for a new or existing home. They operate without ducts, thus do not require expensive ductwork installation so homes can be built less expensively. Their simple, unobtrusive installation makes scheduling with other subs (drywall and insulation) much easier, thus homes can be built faster. DHPs require one power supply to the outdoor unit only (the outdoor unit supplies power to the indoor unit). Installation is easy; a team of two can do an installation in about a day. What it does: DHPs can be configured to heat and cool an entire house. Each unit can heat and cool the main living area of the house. Bedrooms and bathrooms may need supplemental heating. Additionally, DHPs are relatively inexpensive and give builders the benefit of being able to offer home buyers air conditioning.

Bob Davis, Ecotope, Inc Date: 9/16/2008 Re: Heat Pup Measures for Retrofit and Heating System Upgres in the Idao Power Serce Terrtory 1. Introduction Over the last five years, Ecotope and the Regional Technical Forum (RTF) have developed substantial expertise in predicting and designing heat pump programs to provide utilities with options for meeting conservation goals in the residential sector. The structue of this approach was derived from an extensive review of heat pump performance and installation practice over the entire region. The report was published in 2005 and became the basis for several changes to the heat pump program sponsored by the BP A and other regional utilities. The installation procedures and protocols developed for this effort were called the PTCS installation guidelines and the PTCS commissioning guidelines. The 2005 study attempted to understand how installation and operational decisions impact the overall efficiency of heat pumps. In addition, the project predicted the levels of savings that were realized from various utility programs. Using this information, a new simulation and thermal analysis method was developed for the region by Ecotope to describe the impact of the heat pump selection and controls on heating energy loads in several climates of the Pacific Nortwest. This memo develops savings based on this model (SEEM) and the PTCS installation standards in an effort to provide a realistic and defensible savings estimates for heat pump programs used in retrofit applications in the Boise market. Note the savings estimates would be expected to be somewhat greater in most other parts of the Idaho Power service terrtory (Twin Falls, Pocatello, etc.) since these areas have more heating degree days. 2. Methodology To develop savings estimates for the proposed heat pump progrm, a series of prototypes used by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NPCC) were modified and used to evaluate the Ecotope. Inc.1 savings potentiaL. For this analysis, three such prototyes were used. The prototyes selected were designed to include moderate levels of insulation and window performance that might characterize a somewhat weatherized home in the Boise market. The heat pumps themselves were specified using four separate performance levels. In all cases, the options were designed around an HSPF specification; however, the SEEM model itself uses actual load curves from manufactured products so that the impact of these heat pumps in the Boise climate is modeled directly. These heat pumps include an HSPF 7.7 heat pump which meets the curent federal minimum standad for heat pumps, and three other steps beyond this level: HSPF 8.2, HSPF 8.5, and HSPF 9.0. In these cases, the cooling effciencies were taken to be of relatively minor significance since Boise is, by and large, a heating climate with approximately eight times as much heating energy as cooling energy. The Federal standard requires at least SEER 13 for the cooling performance of the heat pump. That standard was use for the three lower performing heat pumps. Only the high performance HSPF 9.0 heat pump uses a SEER 14. The three prototyes selected include 1. A small house, 1,350 ft2, meant to represent small existing homes and existing manufactured homes throughout Idaho. 2. A 2,200 ft2 prototype meant to characterize newer homes in the Boise market built around a crawl space with 1 ~ stories on a somewhat larger living area. 3. A 2,688 ft2 house, representing a ranch style home with a full conditioned basement of 1,350 ft2. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of these prototyes as used in developing the savings estimates.

Heat Pump Measures For the final heat pump replacement analysis, the individual prototyes were weighted in accordance with a preliminary estimate of how representative they would be for an existing Boise area heat pump program. For the electrc furnace retrofit analysis, only the 1350 ft2 prototype was used. This was thought to best represent the region's older manufactured homes. The heat pumps themselves were modeled with two sets of assumptions: 1. A base case standard installation practice for comfort maintenance as generated from the regional surveys; Ecotope, Inc.2 2. A PTCS controls and commissioning package as the primary measure for the installation of the heat pump. The assumptions associated with this analysis are based on RTF assumptions for installation practice under the PTCS program. This represents a significant improvement in the performance of the heat pump The PTCS controls specifications offer an improved installation approach especially in the Boise market since it reduces the use of auxiliary electrc resistance heat. The saving shown in these tables were developed from the SEEM program directly. A realization rate was not included. There are several evaluation of heat pump programs in the region. They vary between about 65% and about 85% realization. The 2005 study included about 1100 heat pump installations in Oregon and Washington and observed about an 80% realization rate using a savings estimates derived from a precursor of the SEEM algorithms. The program proposed here would differ from those early programs in that a specific control specification was not used. Given such a specification and a quality control program, 80% would be a conservative estimate. Tables 2, 3, and 4 shows the savings potential for a heat pump retrofit in the Boise market: Table 2 ilustrates the four heat pump options which could replace a house previously heated with an electric forced-air furnace. (Note the base case home does not have any sort of mechanical cooling.). In this analysis the added cooling capability of the heat pump is taken as a reduction in the overall savings (since cooling is being supplied that is not present in the initial conditions). This table is designed to characterize conversions from an electrc furnace and especially manufactured homes to a higher performance heat pump alternative. This has the potential of being fairly problematic, many of these customers use wood or other supplemental heat and this could reduce the net savings available. Nevertheless, the savings potential from such a measure is also extremely promising and could easily provide an important resource to the utility.

In this case, the benefits of commissioning remain the same, but the additional savings from the cooling-and from the lack of cooling offset-increase the equipment savings by 25%. In general we would expect the actual Ecotope, Inc.3 conditions in this market to include some cooling in all cases but not a complete central system. As a result the savings would be between these two options in most cases.

In this case, it is assumed that whatever the current performance of the heat pump is, the analysis is based on the curent minimum federal standard which the customer would have to use to replace any existing heat pump. Given the relatively high federal minimum HSPF, the impact of higher HSPF on the overall savings is relatively small and the importance of commissioning and controls is relatively large. Even in cases where a 9.0 HSPF heat pump is substituted for the base case heat pump, 2/3 of the savings are due to installation practice and controls specification.

Date: December 11, 2009 Re: Heat Pup Sizing Specifications and Heat Pup Meas Savigs Estimates 1. Introduction In September 2008, Ecotope reviewed a series of heat pump retrofit measures for potential use by Idaho Power in existing buildings in the Boise market. This review assumed two things: first, that one possible retrofit would be for an existing house with an electrc furnace; and that the other retrofits would be for a, relatively low-performance heat pump that might be incented to be replaced with a higher performance heat pump. The purpose of this report is to examine several issues that were not developed in that previous analysis. 2. Home Weatherization The amount of savings available from homes can var considerably based on the insulation and weatherization in the house. Inthe previous analysis, the heat pump retrofit was assumed to be in a relatively well-weatherized house, with insulation and some improvements in windows and doors. In this analysis we have described three different scenarios, each evaluated with separate simulation runs: 1. "Old": relatively uninsulated buildings that have not seen significant weatherization; 2. "Weatherized": houses that were typically fully-weatherized (which means some insulation in the floors, walls and ceilings in addition to a modest window upgrade); and 3. "New": houses built to the mid-1990s residential stadards, with relatively large amounts of insulation and well-performing windows. These three insulation scenarios were weighted using data collected in the 2009 program year and combined to calculate a revised overall estimate of program savings. Ecotope, Inc.1 3. Heat Pump Sizing This review is also extended in another way: in the previous analysis, the PTCS standards for both control systems and sizing were assumed to be applied to the equipment that was installed. Furter, savings were predicted based on homes in which the heat pump was sized and selected based on the balance method and using a 30° F outside temperatue. This means that the listed capacity of the heat pump at an outdoor temperature of 30° F could fully heat the house to 70° F without electrc resistance (auxiliary) heat. In general, this sizing criterion is noticeably larger than what is typically installed in the Idaho markets under the current Idaho Power heat pump program. The exact reasons why these heat pumps are undersized is unclear; however, a partial explanation would be that, typically, the Boise installers size to the cooling load (or 125% of the cooling load), or that they size based on the size of the air conditioner already there, thereby typically undersizing for the heating load. This has a fairly large effect on the overall energy savings that might be achieved by any heat pump measure. 4. Analysis Methods and Assumptions 4.1. Previous Analysis In the previous analysis, SEEM runs were done to simulate various combinations of house heat- loss rate, heat pump HSPF, and duct location/performance. Runs were done both for base case and program homes in order to determine savings from following progrm rules. Simulations for program homes include three levels of heat pump effciency, beginning with current federal standards (HSPF=7.7, HSPF=8.2, HSPF=8.5, HSPF=9.0). The savings calculations were based on a heat pump that met minimum federal standards (HSPF=7. 7) and an electrc furnace. In cases including the higher-performing heat pumps, the PTCS specifications (including sizing and control specifications) were assumed to apply. All runs were developed using TMY3 Boise climate data. The prototypes were assigned a level of insulation consistent with a moderate level of weatherization. This level included some wall, ceiling, and floor insulation and a storm window or a double-glazed window with non-thermally-broken frames. These prototyes also were assumed to include ducts in unheated buffer spaces (attics or crawl spaces) that were not sealed. In the original analysis, sizing for all the heat pumps was the same for both the base case heat pumps and the PTCS heat pumps. This specification required a balance point sizing of between 25° F and 30° F. This allowed a direct comparison between different efficiencies but also ignored the issues of sizing that have developed in the program. The sizing used was slightly smaller than the PTCS criteria for the base case heat pumps, but all the heat pumps analyzed in a given prototype were the same size regardless of heat pump performance. 4.2. Current Analysis For this analysis, the prototype houses were the same size as in the previous analysis: a 1350 sq. ft. house and a 2200 sq. ft. house, both over crawl spaces; and a 2688 sq. ft. house with a full Ecotope, Inc.2 conditioned basement. The main change was the addition of an "old" prototye which contains only minimal insulation and poorly-performing windows and a "new" prototye with insulation typical ofpost-1992 energy codes. The UA ofthese homes in this analysis is summarized in Table 1. (The VA expresses heat loss in Btu/h OF, where the OF refers to temperature difference between inside and outside the house.) The "Weatherized" prototye is directly comparable to the prototypes used in the previous analysis. In general, the relatively un-weatherized house has a heat-loss rate about 30% greater than the weatherized home used in the previous analysis, and the "new" house shows about a 40% reduction in heat loss rate relative to the prototye house used in the previous analysis. Table 1: Heat Loss Rates (UA) for Prototypes 1350 2200 2688 494 811 849 296 492 672 The SEEM rus used in this analysis were based on the same prototypes and duct assumption as the previous runs. A new set of runs was generated for each vintage shown in Table 1. Two sets of heat pump sizing criteria were used for these rus. The first corresponded with the sizing analysis used in the previous savings memo. The second criterion assumes a heat pump sizing method that is meant to correspond to the prevailing approach employed by the installers in the Boise market. This means that the heat pump is undersized by one ton of capacity versus what would be indicated by the 30° F balance point method. The size of the IPCO Heating and Cooling Progrm heat pumps was varied based on home prototype heat loss. That is, for a house with greater heat loss, a larger heat pump is included in the simulation. The exception is for the runs in which the progrm heat pump is also undersized (as indicated in tables, below). To preserve comparability with the previous analysis, a weighting scheme was used based on the actual experience in the 2009 program year. The program recorded home vintage and size; the fraction of homes in each category could be assigned to each combination of vintage and house size. Table 2 shows the ratings used to summarize the results of this analysis. Ecotope.

Results The impact of sizing was reviewed for several cases and for each combination of prototype and vintage. The results from this analysis are presented in comparison to the previous analysis. In the tables presented here an effort was made to re-run the program savings to account for the experience in the current program to date. Thus, the runs include various levels of insulation that were not included in the previous runs and also heat pump capacity undersizing which is prevalent in the Boise market. In Table 3, an electrc furnace is assumed in the base case. Like the previous analysis, this table is limited to the small (1350 sq. ft.) prototye. The savings from the previous analysis is listed in the first column while the remaining tables are drawn from the current analysis. The large savings difference between the "Previous" column and the "Revised" column is due to the use of multiple levels of insulation and moderate differences in the PTCS heat pump sizing used in the current runs. In this prototype the reduction in savings from the use of undersized equipment is about 23%. Table 1: Savings Over Electric Furnace With Cooling Base 1350 sq. ft.

The weightings in Table 2 are used to generate the values in this table. The previous analysis did not include this table, but because the program replaces electrc furnaces regardless of house size, we have included an analysis of the effects of undersizing in this context. Furtermore, these savings estimates can be applied to the part of the program which focuses on electric furnaces. With this combination the impact of undersizing across all prototypes is a 19% reduction in energy savings. Ecotope, Inc.4 Table 4: Savings Over Electric Furnace Weighted for All Three Prototypes 7.7 *12677 10337 -2340Electric Furnace w/o base case cooling 8.2 *13208 10736 -2472 8.5 *13401 10833 -2568 9.0 *13823 11083 -2740 *Previous analysis was not included for this case. Table 5 is also a new table added to this analysis. In this case the analysis uses a standard HSPF 7.7 heat pump as the base. The assumption here is that the utility incentive is improving the heat pump that would otherwise be installed with a combination of installation standards and commissioning as well as improvement in the HSPF. In addition, the base case heat pump in both tables 5 and 6 is undersized. This sizing is consistent with the heat pumps represented by the "Undersized" analysis throughout these tables. In this table, only the 1350 sq. ft. house is used so that it is directly comparable to the electrc furnace rus in Table 3. In this prototype the aggregate impact of equipment undersizing is a 52% reduction in savings. Table 5: Savings Over Standard HSPF 7.7 HP 1350 sq. ft.

Table 6 summarzes all prototypes using the weightings from Table 2. As with the previous table the base case uses a standard heat pump installation. There, savings for the PTCS program with correct sizing actually increases from the previous analysis since the base case heat pump is undersized in the absence of the Idaho Power specifications. In addition, new weightings give more credit for larger homes with less insulation. The overall impact of these two effects is to increase the savings by about 50%. When these same heat pumps are undersized, these effects are cancelled and the overall savings are reduced by 30%. When compared to the new runs the reduction is 53%, canceling out the improved savings from the new analysis.

In a heat pump upgrade program, particularly in houses with little or no weatherization, the impact of undersizing heat pumps substantially decreases the potential savings and thus substantially decreases the predicted savings that might accrue from the heat pump program as operated by Idaho Power. The exact degree to which this occurs depends in large part on the number of unweatherized homes that are included in the program and on the success in enforcing the program's requirement to size to the dominant load (which is heating in about 85% of the 2009 program year homes). It should also be pointed out that savings, especially in the electrc furnace cases, are probably reduced fuher by the use of wood heat. In that event, the effects of heat pump sizing might be less than observed here, as some substantial fraction of the base case space heating use is provided by wood or other supplemental fueL.

The two new tables are using the sam assumptions as the previous runs except they were rerun with smaller cooling equipment. The impact of this smaller AC unit is that more hours of the year the cooling equipment cannot meet the specified cooling load. This is particularly true in the base case but it is true in other runs as well as a result there is somewhat lower savings comared to a larger piece of equipment that can meet the load in more cases. Th R2S base case is an interesting anoly but the effect of the 3 ton capacity on the better house with the bigher attic insulation is to cancel some of the hours where the equipment is inadequate. As a result the savings are not as badly impacted as they would be with a larger piece of equipment that was better matched to the pick-up load.

Page ii 2008 Annual Report Idaho Power Company Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers DESCRIPTION The Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers (W AQC) program provides financial assistance to regional Community Action Partership (CAP) agencies in the Idaho Power service area. This assistance helps cover weatherization costs of electrcally heated homes belonging to qualified customers with limited income. The W AQC program also provides a limited pool of funds for weatherization of buildings occupied by non-profit organizations serving primarily special-needs populations, regardless of heating source, with priority given to buildings with electrc heat. Weatherization improvements enable residents to maintain a more comfortable, safe, and energy-effcient home while reducing their monthly electricity consumption. Improvements are available at no cost to qualifyng applicants who own or rent their homes. These customers also receive educational materials and effciency ideas for fuher reducing energy use in their homes. Local CAP agencies determine program eligibilty according to the same federal and state guidelines that are used to determine eligibility for energy assistance. BACKGROUND In 1989, Idaho Power began offering weatherization assistance in conjunction with the State of Idaho Weatherization Assistance Program. Though the W AQC program, Idaho Power provides supplementary fuding to state-designated CAP agencies for the weatherization of electrcally heated homes occupied by qualified customers and buildings occupied by non-profit organizations that serve special-needs populations. Idaho Power enters into an agreement with each CAP agency that specifies the fuding allotment, biling requirements, and program guidelines. Currently, Idaho Power administers the program in Idaho though five regional CAP agencies, including Canyon County Organization on Aging, Weatherization, and Human 2008 Annual Report Page 1 Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers Idaho Power Company Services (CCOA); Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership (EICAP); EI-Ada Community Action Partership (El-Ada); South Central Community Action Partership (SCCAP); and Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency (SEICAA). With the following sections, this report satisfies the reporting requirements set out in the Idaho Public Utilities Commission's (IPUC) Order No. 29505: · Review of Weatherized Homes and Non-Profit Buildings by County · Review of Measures Installed · Overall Cost-Effectiveness · Customer Education, Advocacy, and Satisfaction . Plans for 2009 REVIEW OF WEATHERIZED HOMES AND NON-PROFIT BUILDINGS BY COUNTY In 2008, Idaho Power provided a total of $1 ,306,587 to Idaho CAP agencies with $1,143,312 directly funding audits, energy-efficient measures, and health and safety measures for qualified customers' homes (production costs),.$44,494 directly fuding energy efficient measures and health and safety measures for non-profit buildings, and $118,781 funding the administration costs incurred by the CAP agencies. The total number of homes weatherized during the year was 434. Five non-profit buildings were also weatherized during 2008. Table 1 reviews the number of homes and non-profit buildings weatherized, production costs, average cost per home or non-profit building served, administration payments, and total payments made by Idaho Power per county.

The average cost per home served is calculated by dividing the total annual Idaho Power production cost of homes weatherized per agency by the total number of homes weatherized that the CAP agency biled to Idaho Power during the year. The maximum annual average cost per home by CAP agency allowed under the 2008 agreement was $2,826. Overall, in 2008, the CAP agencies had a combined average cost per home served of $2,634. There is no average cost limit for weatherization of non-profit buildings. During 2008, Idaho Power provided administrative payments totaling $118,781 to CAP agencies to cover their program administration costs. Administration fees are based on 10% of the Idaho Power production costs. The average administration cost per home weatherized in 2008 was $263, and the administration costs for non-profit buildings weatherized averaged $890. Page 4 2008 Annual Report Idaho Power Company Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers Additionally, Idaho Power staff labor, marketing, and support costs for the W AQC program totaled $69,956 for the year. In compliance with IPUC's Order No. 29505, weatherization assistance funds are tracked, and unspent funds are carred over and made available to CAP agencies in the following year. In 2008, a total of $96,030 was carred forward from 2007. Table 2 details the funding base amount, any carrover funding, and the total amount of anual funding.

The measure counts column represents the number of times each measure was biled to Idaho Power during the year. In reality, measure counts are higher when considering each home. In some homes, the measure was actually installed and biled 100% to the state weatherization progrm and not to Idaho Power. Consistent with the State of Idaho Weatherization Assistance Progrm, Idaho Power offers several measures that 2008 Annual Report PageS Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers Idaho Power Company have costs, but do not save energy or savings cannot be measured. Included in this category are such elements as health and safety, vents, furnace repair, and home energy audits. Health and safety measures are necessary to ensure weatherization activities do not cause unsafe situations in a client's home or compromise a household's existing indoor air quality. Other non-energy savings measures are allowed under this program in order to help facilitate the effective performance of those measures yielding energy savings.

The total kWh savings in 2008 for weatherized non-profit buildings was 129,905. The total energy savings within Idaho from W AQC during 2008 was 4,064,300 kWh. OVERALL COST-EFFECTIVENESS Idaho Power monitors overall cost-effectiveness by requiring each CAP agency to ensure that each project has a savings to investment ratio (SIR) equal to or greater than 1.0. The total 2008 Annual Report Page 7 Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers Idaho Power Company project's SIR reflects all the measure costs associated with the project, including measure costs that have no kWh savings, and compares that total cost to the benefit ofthe total kWh savings of the project. Under this standard, projects with an SIR greater than 1.0 are deemed to be cost-effective by the energy audit program used by the State of Idaho.

The 25-year levelized cost of saved energy in 2008 for the W AQC program is $0.025/kWh from a utility cost perspective and $0.032/kWh from a total resource cost perspective. Page 8 2008 Annual Report Idaho Power Company Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers CUSTOMER EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND SATISFACTION Idaho Power provides materials to each CAP agency to assist in the education of special needs customers who receive weatherization assistace. Included in this material are the Idaho Power brochures Practical Ways to Manage Your Electricity Bil, and Energy Saving Tips, which describe energy conservation tips appropriate for both the heating and cooling seasons. Included in the materials is a two-sided card describing the energy-saving benefits of using compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and helpful hints about using the bulbs. The educational information is available in Spanish and in large print versions. In addition to the materials provided to the CAP agency weatherization offces and energy assistance offces, each autumn Idaho Power distrbutes to all customers Energy Assistance brochures describing eligibility guidelines and application locations. Idaho Power also actively informs customers about the program through energy, health, and senior fairs. In order to stay current with new programs and services, the Idaho Power program specialist overseeing W AQC attends state and federal energy assistace/weatherization meetings and other weatherization-specific conferences, such as the National Energy and Utility Affordability Conference. Idaho Power is also active in the Policy Advisory Council, helping advise and direct Idaho's state weatherization application to the United States Deparment of Energy, and the Idaho State Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Collaborative Workgroup. During 2008, the WAQC program's Idaho customers were surveyed to measure their opinion of how the program would help keep their homes comfortable, how much they learned about saving electricity during the weatherization process, and about their energy-saving behavior changes. 2008 Annual Report Page 9 Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers Idaho Power Company Survey respondents were categorized into age groups. Results indicated 21 % of the respondents were between 18 to 40 years-old, 44% were between 41 to 70 years-old, and 35% were over 70 years-old. Of357 surveys mailed in 2008, 104 Idaho customers returned questionnaires. Over 92% reported thinking the program would help keep their homes a lot more comfortable or somewhat more comfortable. Eighty-six percent reported learning a lot or some about saving electricity during the weatherization process. Over 97% responded that they had tred a lot or some ways to save electrcity in their home. PLANS FOR 2009 Idaho Power will continue working in partership with the Idaho Departent of Health and Welfare (IDHW), Community Action Partership Association of Idaho (CAPAI), and individual CAP agency personnel to maintain the targets, guidelines, and cost-effectiveness of the W AQC program. In so doing, Idaho Power wil provide a valuable service to its special-needs population. Idaho Power estimates343 homes and 5 non-profit buildings wil be weatherized in 2009 with an annual average cost of$3,055 per home. In 2009, Idaho Power expects to fund $1,214,511 in weatherization measures and administration fees, of which $51,640 wil be used to weatherize buildings housing non-profit agencies who serve primarily special needs customers. Idaho Power plans to continually evaluate the need for additional program changes. As in years past, a minimum of 5% of all weatherized homes submitted for reimbursement wil be audited.

BetterBricks is a comprehensive commercial sector energy efficiency initiative designed to stimulate demand for energy effciency within three vertical markets (Hospitals, Real Estate, and Grocery) and supply of energy efficiency services from two cross-cutting markets (Design and Constrction, and Building Operations) which, respectively, focus on new and existing building stock. NEEA' s cross-cutting activities also take place in buildings outside the three vertical markets such as schools, universities, and retail businesses. The primary objective of this effort was to collect and review available data from BetterBricks activities between 2005 and 2008, develop a methodology to estimate those savings, and quantify the energy savings associated with those specific activities using a high level of rigor. A secondary objective was to develop recommendations to improve evaluability ofthe initiative's energy savings. It is important to note, however, that the estimates in this report do not include energy savings from the broader market impacts of BetterBricks. Future reports wil examine this topic in detaiL. This report includes findings from both Cadmus' own work as well as validation work from the Heschong Mahone Group (HMG). The total validated savings from the two evaluation efforts amounts to 2.08 aMW of electrical energy savings and 592,217 therms of natural gas savings. In addition, the evaluation contractors identified an additional 0.55 aMW and 97,088 therms of well-documented savings from effciency measures already in place that are pending further review. Looking forward, evaluation contractors have identified plans and commitments for measures that amount to 5.74 aMW and 1,922,513 therms of additional savings that initiative staff expect to be realized in the next three to five years.

BetterBricks intends for its activities to result in secondary market effects, as market actors among the target audiences become more educated regarding potential energy-effciency improvements. These stakeholders include architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, building owners, and facilities managers who may choose to implement similar measures in the future, even without direct support from BetterBricks. According to the initiative's theory of market transformation, high-profile BetterBricks projects should also serve as learning tools for a wider pool of stakeholders who do not engage in direct contact with BetterBricks. The effort to quantify these secondary market effects was outside the scope of this study, but wil be examined in future reports. In addition, Cadmus reviewed the evaluabilty of the BetterBricks project in terms of energy savings. Cadmus was unable to validate more than a small frction of potential projects due to a lack of data. Comprehensive data collection on BetterBricks projects by Initiative staff combined with consistent follow-up would improve this situation. Furthermore, NEEA support of additional post-occupancy and post-installation evaluation would provide greater reliability in the calculation of realization rates for various projects and measures, which in turn would increase the accuracy of savings estimates for completed and in-process projects. 8etter8ricks Energy Savings Evaluation 2 1. Introduction The Northwest Energy Effciency Allance (NEEA) retained the Cadmus Group (Cadmus) to complete an initial evaluation of the projects and energy savings associated with BetterBricks, NEEA's commercial initiative. BetterBricks is a comprehensive commercial sector energy efficiency initiative approach to stimulate demand for energy efficiency within three vertical markets (Hospitals, Real Estate, and Grocery) and building supply of energy effciency goods and services from two cross-cutting markets (Design and Constrction, and Building Operations) which, respectively, focus on new and existing building stock. NEEA's cross-cutting activities also take place in buildings outside the three vertical markets such as schools, universities, and retail businesses (classified as "Other" for the purpose of this study). Figure 1. BetterBricks Target Markets Evaluated by Cadmus Target Markets The BetterBricks initiative provides support to a limited number of vertical and cross cutting markets, impacting each market as described below. Vertical Markets · Hospitals: Assists hospitals to develop and implement Strategic Energy Management Plans (SEMP), a strctured approach to improve energy effciency throughout organizations and facilities. The SEMP focuses on best practices to achieve energy efficiency in capital improvements, design and construction, operations and maintenance, and purchasing. THF BetterBricks Energy Savings Accounting 3CADM · Real Estate: Supports companies in the development and implementation of a high performance portfolio frmework, addressing best practices similar to those mentioned above, but within the business context of general offce space. · Grocery: Offers grocery store chains support in the development and implementation of energy action plans that primarily address refrgeration and lighting. Best practices, in this context, include benchmarking refrgeration systems, system optimization service and general energy awareness materials for employees. Cross Cutting Markets · Design and Construction: Offers a number of tools, resources, advice and assistance to Northwest architects and engineers to assist in the design of energy effcient buildings. The five Integrated Design Labs (IDLs) provide educational and technical support that includes day lighting modeling, as well as support for "whole-building" integrated design. The main delivery method is though the Firm Focus (FF) approach, where progrm staff work closely with selected architecture firm, influencing their business practices and increasing their technical capabilities to deliver integrated design, specifically in the BetterBricks vertical markets. · Building Operations: Provides technologies and consulting to building operators, in order to improve regional building performance by facilitating the adoption of improved operations and maintenance strategies, both on the demand and supply side of the market. BetterBricks activities towards this goal include (1) technical training and (2) business development support to select mechanical and controls service providers (i.e., the "Firm Focus" approach.) NEEA's expectation is this will expand the breadth and quality of energy efficiency-focused building operations and maintenance services offered in the Pacific Northwest. Study Objectives The primary objective of this study was to collect and review available data from the initiative activities between 2005 and 2008, and estimate the energy savings associated with those projects. A secondary objective was to develop recommendations to improve evaluability of the initiative's energy savings impacts. MUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 4 LiH1.HI1-' 2. Energy Savings Evaluation Methodology At the beginning of the study, Cadmus met with BetterBricks staff to define the evaluation levels, develop a sampling plan, and select appropriate evaluation methods. The study methodology is outlined in the four stages shown in Figure 2 below. Figure 2. Energy Savings Accounting Stages Step 1: Define Evaluation Levels Cadmus and HMG worked with BetterBricks staff to determine appropriate evaluation levels. The selected evaluation levels are consistent with those used by Cadmus to report savings for NEEA's Industrial Initiative. Cadmus defined the five levels as follows: · Validated: Savings that have been evaluated through a site visit and a review of calculations or a professional assessment. Generally, the evaluation contractor reviews energy savings based on data and calculations provided by the implementation team. In many northwest service terrtories, NEEA' s validation requirements are on par with utility measurement and verification (M&V). · Pending: Savings quantified by the implementation team or end-user but not yet verified or validated by the evaluation contractor due to budget or time constraints. · Committed: Savings the implementation team expects wil be achieved within the next two years based on the schedule for constrction or measure implementation. Projects are either in progress or have a defined budget allocated by the customer. · Planned: Similar to committed savings above, except that the customer has not allocated a project budget, and the implementation team does not expect the project wil be completed within two years. CADM BetterBricks Energy Savings Accounting 5 -'inJE~~='~~. Step 2: Determine Sample Phase 1: Identify Universe of Potential Projects The first phase of the project involved collecting data on potential evaluation sites. These included all buildings contained in NEEA's Commercial Tracking System (CTS), as well as buildings participating in NEEA's Kilowatt Crackdown and HVAC Service Assistant programs. This resulted in an initial sample frame of 588 buildings. Table 3.

Utilize the most comprehensive integrted design 2. Have the highest savings potential (known actual or estimated). 3. In the target markets. 4. Have data available or data are easily obtainable. 5. High profie (project has received, or wil receive, publicity)." - i.e. good documentation. This exercise yielded 70 potential projects to evaluate out of the total of 362. This process is explained in greater detail in Appendix B. · Data Suffciency: Some sites chosen for evaluation were subsequently found to have insuffcient data for Cadmus or HMG to conduct a savings analysis and were excluded from this analysis. · Redundancy: One project previously evaluated by the Heschong Mahone Group (HMG) was evaluated separately by Cadmus at the request of NEE A staff, and subsequently excluded to prevent redundancy. The project was a hospital designated W A-15. BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 6 .t'¡¡E~--~ CAD NEEA's work with commercial design projects in the Northwest predates all other commercial sector interventions. However, BetterBricks has only recently begu to systematically collect energy savings data. As a result, Design & Constrction projects constitute the largest number of both total projects and highest rate of attrition due to lack of sufficient data. The complexity of Cadmus's decision making process related to our evaluation of the Design & Construction sites is shown below in Figure 3. Further detail about the process is located in Appendix B: BetterBricks Staff Design and Constrction Project Selection Methodology. The decision making process for Building Operations projects was somewhat less complex, so no decision tree was developed. SetterSricks Energy Savings Accounting 7 Figure 3.

For the majority of the sites Cadmus collected information from CTS, data provided by NEEA staff and contractors, building energy models, biling data, lighting and engineering calculations, scoping reports, site visits, phone and email interviews with facility staff, Internet data related to each project, and data from architectural and engineering firms. For each site, Cadmus reviewed the following: · Type and quality of available data, · Status of constrction and occupancy, and · Achievement of LEED certification. Based on information available for the site and project, Cadmus then conducted: · Analysis of building energy models, . Site visits, · Calculation review, or CADMUS SetterSricks Energy Savings Accounting 9 · A phone or e-mail interview with a knowledgeable source regarding installed measures. Durng this process Cadmus found a number of buildings unfit for further analysis and evaluation. Typically these projects had either not incorporated suggestions from IDL into their final design or lacked sufficient data for analysis. Therefore, the final number of buildings Cadmus reviewed was 237. Step 3: Select Evaluation Method Design and Construction Evaluation of Design and Constrction projects were based on the quality and quantity of available data, and applied one or more of five methods commonly used for evaluating commercial buildings. Specifically, Cadmus employed the following methods for all savings estimates, whether validated, pending, committed or planned: · Third-part post-occupancy evaluations (n=3) · Application of a calculated realization rate to LEED-certified projects and new constrction( n=34) · Cadmus post-occupancy evaluation (n=l) · Review of lighting calculations (n=7) · Analysis of building energy simulation models (fenestration model) developed by other contractors and IDLs. (n=l) A brief description of each method follows. Third-Part Post-Occupancy Evaluation The first evaluation method involved analysis of savings for three projects with post-occupancy evaluations (POE) performed by either Paladino & Associates, Berkeley Center for Built and Environment or Interface Engineering. These POEs were for Design and Constrction projects that achieved LEED-certification. Cadmus reviewed the POE reports to determine if sufficient data had been obtained and the methodology was sound. In all three cases, Cadmus included the revised energy savings from the POEs as validated savings. Calculated Realization Rate Energy savings estimates are initially determined by a contractor, engineer, architect, or consultant through engineering calculations and/or building energy simulations. In most, if not all, cases the predicted (or ex-ante) energy savings are different from that actually achieved (ex- post). The difference commonly results from a number of factors, including: · Value engineering may eliminate measures or key components between the design phase and final construction · Actual building characteristics may differ from final design · Commissioning of building equipment may not achieve full operating potential · Design changes may not be communicated to building modeler · Occupant use or actual building operation may vary from original expectation BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 10 THE The ratio of the actual to predicted estimates of savings, known as the "savings realization rate" is commonly used in impact evaluations of energy effciency and conservation programs to gauge their performance. It is standard practice in impact evaluations to calculate a savings realization rate for a sample of participants and apply it to the population of participants to estimate actual savings for a program. Cadmus used as-designed estimates of savings as a basis for calculating savings realization rate, using the following steps: 1. Obtain the original energy efficient design model and one year of post-occupancy utility bils. 2. Modify the model to reflect as-built design and operating characteristics per available documentation. 3. Calibrate the original design model energy use to the actual, biled energy use by adjusting plug loads and other variables as appropriate. 4. Create a code model by removing energy effcient measures included in the design model and replacing them with the building code or standard practice equivalent, if applicable. 5. Calculate actual energy savings difference between code model (from step #4) and actual energy use. 6. Calculate the realization rate by dividing the actual energy savings by difference between the original design and code models. Cadmus followed this procedure to calculate the savings at one new constrction (not LEED certified) building. However, there were insufficient data to perform this analysis for all buildings because the "as built" information (e.g. actual installation data) was not available. Therefore, Cadmus used four buildings which had undergone POE's using the aforementioned process, to estimate a realization rate for other Design and Constrction projects. These realization rates are shown below in Table 6. Further detail can be found in Appendix C: Realization Rate Development. Table 6.Realization Rate for Projects with Post-Occupancy Evaluation Modeled Design Actual Energy Energy Savings Realization Proiect 10 Savings (MBTU)tMBTU\Rate OR-07 34,417 43,463 79% OR-08 1,281 13,176 10% WA-07 2,600 4,455 58% WA-11 8,100 12,062 67% Total:46,399 73,156 63% The realization rate observed in the above examples led Cadmus to apply a realization rate to all LEED projects in order to quantify validated energy savings when actual data was not available. Cadmus determined an average realization rate of 63% based on the ratio between the sum of CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Accounting 11 TNE~~'~- actual energy savings and modeled design energy savings for the four projects, as shown in Table 6. This average realization rate was applied to all LEED projects to validate savings. In our judgment, four projects represent a very small a sample for developing program-level savings. To augment this calculation, Cadmus searched other sources to find additional POEs on other BetterBricks projects which had achieved LEED certfication. This was unsuccessful, so Cadmus then searched for other secondary data regarding POEs on LEED-certified projects in general, but was unable to find additional information to further inform this rate. Given the small sample size, additional data from energy-effcient building POEs wil be required to develop a more comprehensive realization rate. While the rate of realization Cadmus calculated may be revised as additional data becomes available, it is important to note that the Idaho Integrated Design Lab reported! applying a 50% realization rate to expected energy savings for new constrction projects. This realization rate was reported2 as a conservative value based on anecdotal evidence, but is reasonably close to the value derived in this section. To further augment the process, Cadmus reviewed a number of studies which examined a savings "realization rate" by comparing actual energy savings to that from the initial, uncalibrated code model (which mayor may not reflect additional design changes during constrction), as listed in Appendix D. However, none of these studies reflected the previously discussed methodology acceptable for determining a net realization rate. The need for post- occupancy evaluations with accurate net realization rates represents a significant opportnity for NEEA to explore the issue and better determine energy savings in the region. Applying the Realization Rate to Calculate Savings Once the realization rate for buildings with limited data was established, Cadmus needed to collect sufficient information to calculate energy savings. The information required to determine savings includes: · Square footage · Total Building Energy Use Intensity (EUI) · Establishment of the baseline used in the LEED analysis and point system, which could be either ASHRAE Standard 90.1 or local energy codes. Cadmus obtained information on total building energy use intensity (EUI), and square footage from the architecture and engineering firms involved in the project. Where Cadmus could not obtain this data from the firms involved in the original project, Cadmus utilized secondary data sources on square footage and savings relative to energy code. For the purpose of this analysis, the baseline for energy savings is local energy code. However, sometimes LEED certification uses ASHRAE Standard 90.1 as the baseline, and other times the local code. Cadmus found that neither LEED certification documents nor information from the i Integrated Design Lab - University ofIdaho 2007 Annual Progress Report, page 8 2 Email from Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, Integrated Design Lab - Boise, Director, March 24, 2009 CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 12 T,rI'S IDLs provided definitive data on whether an energy code or ASHRAE Standard 90.1 was applied as the baseline. Therefore, Cadmus reviewed secondary sources for each project to determine the relevant baseline. Where Cadmus found that ASHRA Standard 90.1 was the baseline, Cadmus engineers adjusted the savings percentages from those certified by the LEED points to reflect the greater stringency in local codes. In the case where an Internet search did not produce information on the relevant baseline, the baseline was assumed to be the state or local code.3 LEED certification requires the adjustment of energy models throughout the design process to reflect any changes. The percentage difference in energy use between code and design determines the amount of energy savings and corresponds to a certain number of points in the LEED system. Cadmus did not have access to these LEED building simulation models and therefore could not examine them for savings and accuracy. Therefore, Cadmus calculated the energy savings using the percentage savings from each project's LEED certification and data supplied to the Integrated Design Labs by architects and engineering firms who pedormed the building energy modeling. That information included either the building's modeled baseline EUI or modeled energy savings in terms of kilowatt-hours and therms. Cadmus applied the previously calculated realization rate to the LEED project energy savings to determine validated savings. In addition, Cadmus applied the same realization rate to new and recently occupied buildings that could not have savings validated (meaning they were categorized as pending, committed or planned). For those projects, it was unclear which energy efficiency measures had been implemented or might be included in the final as-built design. This meant Cadmus could apply a conservative estimate of savings via the derived realization rate. NEEA also requested that energy savings be provided in terms of kilowatt-hours and therms. This information could not be accurately determined for those projects where only EUI data (in kBTU per square foot) was available. NEEA supplied the following conventions to apply to the energy savings4, as shown in more detail in Appendix D: . Offce buildings: 70% electrc, 30% gas · Hospitals: 40% electrc, 60% gas · Schools: 40% electric, 60% gas 3 December 8, 2008, e-mail from the University of Washington IDL Director: "We asked what the code base was for the data that they sent us, and I believe in every case they used the state or municipal code as baseline, which as you referenced is a bit more stringent than the appropriate ASHRAE 90.1 per date of project permitting. I'm sure that there is some individual variability there, but generally the question we asked them was, 'What was the code baseline, and what was the as designed baseline?' Without doing a great deal of checking, we have assumed they answered our questions to the best of their ability." 4 This convention was derived by NEEA staff and contractors from the 2003 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey and the Baseline Characteristics of2002 - -2004 Nonresidential Sector. This derivation is curently under review by NEEA and its evaluation contractors. BetterBricks Energy Savings Accounting 13 Cadmus Post-Occupancy Evaluation Cadmus conducted a post-occupancy evaluation for one building, ID-03, to verify installation of proposed energy-efficient measures and determine actual operating schedules and building control system settings. The University of Idaho Integrted Design Lab provided code and design eQuest models of the facility. The site visit findings were combined with actual energy use from biling data to modify the proposed design eQuest model to represent the as-built design and operation of the facility. The code model was adjusted to reflect the correct baseline usage, which allowed derivation of the validated energy savings. Lighting Calculations Seven buildings had lighting projects with energy savings calculations performed by either the local utility or the University of Oregon Energy Studies in Buildings Laboratory (ESBL). Those calculations were reviewed for sufficient data to achieve savings validation, completion or design status, and amount of savings based on EUI and square footage. Cadmus could not obtain sufficient data from building owners to validate any of these projects. ESBL estimated savings for the project design that assumed all recommended measures would be implemented. As with new construction, Cadmus expected not all measures wil be installed as designed. Therefore, Cadmus chose to apply the derived energy savings realization rate noted in previous subsections because a lighting savings realization rate was not available. Fenestration Model Review Cadmus performed adjustments to a fenestration model developed by the Montana State University Integrated Design Lab for MT -02. The IDL provided code and design models for MT -02, for which they had conducted a study of energy savings related to various types of windows. Cadmus contacted the project architect to determine which window was actually installed, and also received the specification sheet for that window tye. Specifications were entered into the design model to determine the improvement over baseline, which yielded less than 0.01 aMW of savings. Cadmus only reviewed this one fenestration model because the window replacement was the only measure implemented through this project, and no other design and constrction project had this specific scope. Bu ildina.erations The evaluation of Building Operations projects followed some of the same methods as Design and Constrction, although the details are not portyed in a graphical decision tree. Hospitals Hospital projects tyically involved the adoption of a strategic energy management plan (SEMP), installation of energy conservation measures, commissioning or retro-commissioning, and HV AC system tune-ups. Cadmus applied the following principle evaluation methods: · Conduct site visits to confirm measure installation and facility operating hours. BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 14 · Review of engineering calculations employed by implementation contractors. · Analyze scoping reports with projected savings. Real Estate Cadmus used two methods to evaluate savings for real estate projects: · Review of on-line HV AC tune-up data, which was automatically uploaded by the HV AC Service Assistant tool following a site visit by one of the BetterBricks contractors. · Analysis of scoping reports with projected savings. HMG Evaluation Methodolo~ The Heschong Mahone Group (HMG) previously evaluated elements of the BetterBricks initiative, including samples of Design and Constrction, Building Operations, Grocery Store, and Real Estate kW Crackdown projects. HMG later provided the relevant findings to the Cadmus Group, along with methodologies, data, and calculations. Cadmus lacked sufficient time to analyze all the submitted data prior to the completion of this report, but has included many of HMG's findings where appropriate. In this process, HMG worked with BetterBricks personnel to determine evaluation samples and obtain data. HMG then developed and applied appropriate evaluation methods for four target markets. The methodology was reported to NEEA in four separate memos in December 2008, which are summarized below. Summary of Design and Construction Memo For Design and Constrction projects, HMG conducted on-site surveys and data collection at fifteen sites to confirm information from CTS and other documentation sources. HMG obtained sufficient data to analyze nine of those fifteen projects. On-site data collection included: · Equipment and building characteristics · Interviews with building operators · Installation of data loggers for end-use metering HMG collected biling data and, where available, existing energy efficient measure monitoring data. They also obtained the original energy simulation input and output fies for both the code and proposed design conditions. HMG then modified the energy simulation models for each project to reflect as-built conditions, and recorded the resulting energy savings. These savings are included under "Pre-2008 Validated Savings." BetterBricks Energy Savings Accounting 15 4 ., Summary of Real Estate Memo HMG validated energy savings for 47 Real Estate projects as part of the BetterBricks Kilowatt Crackdown program. HMG obtained total site energy use for all the buildings from January 2007 through August 2008, which represents one full year before the Kilowatt Crackdown program and two-thirds of the implementation period. HMG analyzed the energy use data, examined energy use intensity comparisons, and conducted surveys with building managers. Through this effort, HMG was able to validate the difference in anual energy use through August 2008 as a lower bound for energy savings. Summary of Building Operations Memo HMG attempted to evaluate eleven Building Operations projects through biling analysis. They examined electrc and natural gas bils, when available, for projects both before and after project implementation, and considered any differences to result from installed measures. HMG reported savings on seven projects. This method of evaluation has limitations, particularly when measure installation occurs at the same time as substantial changes in building size or use. Energy savings less than 10% of total building load are often diffcult to discern from the normal ebb and flow of energy use. This is particularly tre with hospitals, and HMG reported that all four hospital Building Operations projects could not be analyzed because no quantifiable improvement was observed in biling data or insufficient information was available. Cadmus recommends that NEEA provide funding to examine these projects in further detail to obtain additional information and complete analyses where necessary. Summary of Grocery Stores Memo Grocery Store refrigeration tue-ups were evaluated though biling analysis by examining electrc utility bills both before and after project implementation. The resulting consumption differences were considered as energy savings attbuted to the installed energy efficient measures. Mechanical service contrctors also pedormed short-term metering to predict energy savings, which was available for two of the four projects. This analysis possesses the same limitations outlined above for Building Operations. In addition, the projects had less than one year of billng data, which Cadmus views as the minimum for a higher degree of accuracy. In mid-2008, HMG sought to offset concerns about the length of monitoring by developing a weather-normalized correction to the data based on projected statewide differences in heating degree days. However, a review of full 2008 weather data for the installation region indicated no correction was actually necessary. Cadmus recommends that NEEA provide funding to examine these projects in further detail to obtain additional biling information and refine analyses where necessary.

Findings Cadmus reviewed all projects not only for validated savings, but also for those that met pending, committed, and planned criteria. This section first presents the total current and potential savings, before offering detailed findings for the validated, pending, committed, and planned savings, in that order. All Energy Savings Based on our analysis, this report accounts a total of: · 2.63 aMW in validated and pending electric savings and 689,147 therms in validated gas savings. (Table 7 and Table 8). o 2.08 aMW validated (1.85 aMW validated by Cadmus plus 0.23 aMW validated byHMG). o 592,217 therms validated (574,041 validated by Cadmus plus 18,716 therms validated by HMG). o 0.55 aMW in pending electrc savings o 97,388 therms in pending gas savings · 0.99 aMW in committed electric savings and 224,890 therms in committed gas savings (Table 9 and Table 10). · 4.74 aMW in planned electric savings and 1,697,623 therms in planned gas savings (Table 9 and Table 10). The total of 8.36 aMW in electric savings and 2,613,531 therms in gas savings quantifies only the realized savings and conservation opportnity that could be identified to date. These savings do not include broader market effects. Note that totals below reflect the effects of rounding, and therefore may differ slightly from the summation of results presented in tabular form.

For the BetterBricks study, Cadmus validated savings of 1.85 aMW in electrc savings and 574,041 in gas savings. Design and Construction Design and Construction Validated Savings Cadmus calculated energy savings for the majority of validated Design and Constrction projects by applying a realization rate, as discussed in the previous chapter and Appendix C: Realization Rate Development. Cadmus applied the average realization rate of 63 % to 17 of the 21 projects, summarized in the table below. Cadmus used POE data to validate savings for the other four projects. Design and Construction projects accounted for validated annual electrc savings of 1.36 aMW and 510,293 therms of gas savings, as shown in Table 11. Under the "Source of Savings" column, the LEED percentage refers to design energy savings above the relevant state or local building energy code.

More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 26 in Appendix D: For the most part, the validated measures involved the installation of energy conservation measures (ECMs) as capital projects undertken as part of the Strategic Energy Management Plan. Retro-commissioning or tune-up projects were implemented at two sites. Cadmus validated most sites through site visits that verified measure implementation and recorded relevant operating parameters. This site visit data enabled us to develop or verify energy savings calculations. 5 Project codes represent the state where the building is or wil be constructed, along with a numeric identifier. BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 20 Cadmus employed a different validation method for OR-09. In that case, the Market Specialist provided calculations to Cadmus from the facility and installation contractor. Cadmus validated these calculations through an e-mail interview.

Real Estate - Kilowatt Crackdown HMG evaluated energy savings for 47 real estate projects through the Kilowatt Crackdown program. This program was implemented jointly by NEEA and the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Seattle, and represented a contest for energy efficiency achievements among office buildings run by BOMA members. BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 22 HMG obtained total site energy use for all the buildings from January 2007 through August 2008, which represents one full year before the Kilowatt Crackdown program and two-thirds of the implementation period. HMG analyzed the energy use data, examined energy use intensity comparisons, and conducted surveys with building managers. Through this effort, HMG was able to validate the difference in annual energy use through August 2008 as a lower bound for energy savings. The lower bound of savings represent 0.13 aMW in electrc savings and 16,618 therms in gas savings. Grocery Stores No completed projects were available for evaluation under this category. Savings Validated by HMG Prior to 2008, HMG evaluated 15 sites to determine Design and Constrction savings and obtained data through data logging, biling analysis, and existing metering on energy effcient measures. Using this data, HMG either modified existing building energy simulation models or developed new ones. HMG reported validated savings for nine of the 15 sites. The resulting electrc savings are 0.23 aMW with 19,589 therms in gas savings, as shown in Table 14. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 28 in Appendix D:. Table 14.

These savings involved primarily Hospitals and Design and Constrction projects, resulting in 0.26 aMW of electrc savings and 15,202 therms of gas savings. Cadmus noted areas in which further analysis could potentially improve the accuracy of energy savings on projects previously evaluated by HMG. These include projects for Building Operations and Grocery refrigeration tue-ups. The additional information and analysis necessary to perform additional evaluation of these projects was outside the scope ofthis study. Cadmus categorized these HMG results as "pending" until further evaluation can be performed. MUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 23 The pending electric savings from HMG projects is equivalent to 0.28 aMW, with gas savings of 82,186 therms. Cadmus Design and Construction Pending energy savings for the Cadmus Design and Constrction accounting resulted in electrc savings of 0.11 aMW and 7,043 therms in gas savings.

These buildings are stil in the process of commissioning systems and installng significant measures. Cadmus applied the LEED realization rate derived in the Energy Savings Accounting Methodology section to these LEED-registered projects, which Cadmus expect to achieve certification. Two buildings possessed lighting calculations for installed projects. However, Cadmus could not get confirmation of installation details from either the facilities manager at MT -01 or the architect for W A -13. The calculations for MT -01 were performed through the local electrc utility, and included suffcient detail for fixtues and operating hours that a realization rate was deemed unecessary. The calculations for W A - i 3 only included design EUI information, not final installation details. Due to the uncertinty regarding final installation, Cadmus applied a realization rate equal to the 63% LEED realization rate. Cadmus Building Operations Hospital Two hospitals reported energy savings for implemented measures that could not be validated by Cadmus. The savings resulted from installation ofECM capital projects and HVAC tune-ups, as shown in Table 16. Facility or installation contractors reported savings to the relevant Market Specialist, but Cadmus could not obtain calculations or suffcient data to validate those savings. These pending savings are 0.15 aMW in electrc savings and 8,159 therms. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 30 in Appendix D:.

Grocery Stores No completed projects were available for evaluation under this category. HMG Pending Savings HMG submitted four memos to NEEA in December 2008 that detailed preliminary evaluation results for Design and Construction, Building Operations, Grocery Stores, and Kilowatt Crackdown. NEEA provided the memos to Cadmus so results could be incorporated into the BetterBricks energy savings accounting. Cadmus reviewed HMG's methodology for each program and analyzed the resulting data. The savings from the Kilowatt Crackdown are included under the Validated Building Operations category of this study. HMG's evaluation of Design and Construction savings is included under the "Savings Validated by HMG" section. Cadmus noted areas in which fuher analysis could potentially improve the accuracy of energy savings on Building Operations and Grocery refrigeration tune-up projects previously evaluated by HMG. The additional information and analysis necessary to pedorm additional evaluation of these projects was outside the scope of this study. Building Operations Real Estate and Hospitals HMG attempted to pedorm biling analyses on eleven Building Operations projects in the Real Estate and Hospitals verticaL. HMG reported savings on seven projects. This method of evaluation has limitations, particularly when measure installation occurs at the same time as substantial changes in building size or use. Energy savings less than 10% of total building load are often diffcult to discern from the normal ebb and flow of energy use. This is particularly tre with hospitals, and HMG reported that all four hospital Building Operations projects could not be analyzed because no quantifiable improvement was observed in biling data or insuffcient information was available. Of the projects analyzed by HMG, Cadmus had conducted a site visit at one hospital project, WA-15. That project was therefore excluded from this accounting to prevent double counting, particularly since HMG noted they were unable to complete their analysis on this project. The resulting savings for the remaining projects which HMG could evaluate are 0.21 aMW in electric BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 25 savings and 82,186 therms, as shown in Table 17. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 31 in Appendix D:. Cadmus recommends that NEEA provide funding to examine these projects in further detail to obtain additional information and complete analyses where necessary. Table 17.

This analysis possesses the same limitations outlined above for Building Operations. In addition, the projects varied in the amount of post-installation biling data available, including three months for two projects, seven months for another, and more than one year for a fourth project. At least one year of post-installation data is recommended for a higher degree of accuracy. In mid-2008, HMG sought to offset concerns about the length of monitoring by developing a weather-normalized correction to the data based on projected statewide differences in heating degree days. However, a review of full 2008 weather data for the installation region indicated no correction was actually necessary. The electrc savings are 0.07 aMW, as shown in Table 18. More detail on the energy savings can be found in Table 32 in Appendix D:. Cadmus recommends that NEEA provide fuding to examine these projects in further detail to obtain additional billng information and refine analyses where necessary. Table 18.

These projects are either in the constrction or final design process, or have a SetterSricks Energy Savings Evaluation 26 defined budget allocation. Cadmus found 17 Design and Constrction and Hospital projects with committed energy savings, which should result in electrc savings of 0.99 aMW and gas savings of 224,890 therms. Design and Construction Committed energy savings for Design and Construction generally involved projects under constrction with available projected savings data, as shown in Table 19. Resulting electrc savings are estimated to be 0.58 aMW with 149,660 therms in gas savings, estimated generally by applying a realization rate. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 33 in Appendix D: Projects with committed savings were evaluated similarly to those described in previous subsections, particularly buildings evaluated using building energy model data. Cadmus also analyzed several incomplete projects that employ lighting calculations developed by the University of Oregon ESBL. Most of these projects are not expected to achieve their full projected savings, as outlined in the Energy Savings Accounting Methodology section. Therefore, Cadmus applied the 63% realization rate derived in the Validated Savings subsection to all the projects, except two from Montana. Those two projects possessed comprehensive data and were further along in progress; Cadmus determined full savings were likely to be achieved. Table 19.

Cadmus reviewed the savings estimates, which appear reasonable. The committed projects should result in electric savings of 0.41 aMW and gas savings of 75,230 therms. Cadmus lacked sufficient data to determine whether it would be appropriate to apply a realization rate to these committed estimates or what that rate would be. Cadmus chose not to apply a realization rate at this time. Table 20.

Planned Energy Savings Planned energy savings involve projects expected to be implemented over a longer time frame, typically more than two years. These projects usually have a defined plan associated with them, often a final design or measure implementation strategy, but no specific budget allocation. The Design and Constrction cross-cutting market had projects with sufficient data to evaluate for planned energy savings, as well as the Hospital and Real Estate vertical markets. Planed electric savings are expected to total 4.75 aMW with gas savings of 1,697,623 therms. Design and Construction The Design and Construction sample base for evaluation included several projects early in their conceptual design phases, as shown in Table 21, which were evaluated under the Planned category. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 35 in Appendix D:. BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 28 TlfF CADMUS Cadmus does not expect that most of these projects wil achieve their full projected savings, as outlined in the Energy Savings Accounting Methodology section. Therefore, Cadmus applied the 63% realization rate derived in the Validated Savings subsection to all the projects. These projects should result in annual electric savings of 0.47 aMW and gas savings of212,727 therms. Table 21.

Due to rounding, total values may appear different from the sum of components Building Operations Hospital For Hospital projects, Cadmus identified 13 existing facilities with significant potential energy savings through scoping reports. The savings wil result from installation of ECM capital projects, HVAC commissioning or retro-commissioning, and operations and maintenance improvements, and are shown in Table 22. More detail on the specific energy savings can be found in Table 36 in Appendix D:. Cadmus reviewed the savings estimates in various scoping reports and studies and concluded the projects to have a reasonable payback. Projects resulting from Hospitals could result in electric savings equal to 4.16 aMW and gas savings of 1,472,771 therms. Cadmus lacked sufficient data to determine whether it would be appropriate to apply a realization rate to these committed estimates or what that rate would be. Because of this, Cadmus chose not to apply a realization rate at this time. Additionally, much of the proposed savings may involve measures or processes that impact the same end use. The resulting measure interaction wil further reduce potential savings. For example, a new boiler can be specified that would produce a certain percentage of energy savings to the hospital's hot water end use. Additional measures, such as pipe insulation, might also have savings estimates, but the final energy savings wil not be additive among all measures applied to each end use. In the future, it might be possible to further analyze the projected savings reports for each hospital and provide a rough estimate of reduced savings due to measure interaction, but that falls outside the scope of this evaluation.

CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 30 'rLrE~" 4. Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the available data, Cadmus was able to validate 1.85 aMW in electrc savings and 574,041 therms associated with NEEA's Better Bricks initiative as of December 2008. HMG validated 0.23 aMW in electrc savings and 19,589 therms in gas savings prior to 2008. Another 0.55 aMW in electric savings and 97,388 therms in gas savings are expected based on documentation for which validation is pending. End users, particularly hospitals, have goals and projects in development expected to achieve an additional 5.74 aMW in electrc savings and 1,922,513 therms in gas savings. Data Collection and Quality Cadmus found that only a small portion of projects in the CTS database included energy savings and measure data. Types of data that were frequently missing from CTS include measure information, baseline and design EUls, square footage information, scoping reports, contact information, and sometimes entire projects. As a result, Cadmus was only able to evaluate a limited number of projects associated with BetterBricks activites. The savings cited in this study likely represent a small fraction of the total savings that could be linked to the BetterBricks initiative. Recommendations for Future Study Cadmus found several areas requiring additional study that could strengthen the BetterBricks program and reporting of savings. These include: · Development of a realization rate for Hospitals: Hospitals represent a large portion of projected BetterBricks energy savings. Most of these projected savings rely on implementation of recommendations from scoping reports. Cadmus notes that those recommendations either may not be implemented or partially implemented, and therefore the full projected savings may not be achieved. BetterBricks may want to determine a realization rate based on the energy savings implemented compared to the amount projected in scoping reports. · Creation of a methodology to determine savings for Hospitals resulting from changes in purchasing decisions: Cadmus noted that there was no methodology available to adequately capture savings based on future purchasing decisions, such as a policy to only purchase Energy Star equipment. These savings could substantially impact the Buildings Operations savings rate in the future. · Improving the realization rate for LEED Projects: Cadmus estimated a realization rate for LEED and new constrction projects based on two post-occupancy evaluations (POE), which indicated that 63% of the projected savings were achieved. The availability of publicly-available POE data is very limited, but obtaining further data would improve the confidence of realization rates calculated for LEED projects. Currently LEED for CADMUS SetterSricks Energy Savings Evaluation 31 THH"-~~~' New Constrction relies on modeling data to estimate energy savings, and no publicly- available studies have been undertaken to evaluate the actual realization rate of a large number of projects. Appendix E: provides more information on related studies of new constrction project savings. · Post-Occupancy Evaluations: POE data are a valuable tool for building owners to continuously improve system operation. For example, the project identified as OR-08 received a LEED rating based on 26% modeled savings over code and was projected to have an EPA Portfolio Manager score greater than 75. The building owner commissioned a POE which indicated actual savings only 3% above code and a Portfolio Manager score of25. The POE data provided suffcient feedback on building system issues that the owner was able to improve operations and increase the Portfolio Manager score to 39, as of November 2008. The owner's representative projected continued improvement in the future. · Secondary Market Effects: BetterBricks support wil most likely result in secondary market effects as practitioners become more educated regarding potential energy effciency improvements. These practitioners include architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, building owners, and facilities managers who may choose to implement similar measures in the futue, even without direct support from BetterBricks. A number of high-profie BetterBricks projects also serve as learning tools for a wider pool of stakeholders who do not engage in direct contact with BetterBricks. Efforts could be made in the future to quantify these secondary market effects. · Attribution: Due to time and budget considerations, Cadmus did not engage in the complex process of determining proper attbution of energy savings, particularly in Design and Construction projects. The design and constrction process involves architects, engineers, consultants, and contrctors who could potentially provide elements of their previous energy effciency design experience. Therefore, it's possible that BetterBricks support is not directly responsible for all energy savings in these projects, although the secondary market effects cited previously could impact decision-making. Building owners and facilities managers for projects in the Building Operations markets may also have previous experience with energy efficiency measures that they would choose to install even without BetterBricks support. Recommendations for the Current Program Cadmus offers the following recommendations: 1. Improve data quality: Two items were observed in need of additional attention to detail by NEEA staff and contrctors: detailed completion of data collection requirements as outlined in the CTS database, and consistent follow up to record project implementation and as~built details. 2. Develop refined methodology for capturing Hospitals savings: As Hospitals savings account for much of BetterBricks savings, Cadmus recommends refining the BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 32 methodology for determining these savings. Specifically, estimating a realization rate would increase the accuracy of planned and committed savings estimates, as would developing a method for integrating changes in purchasing decisions of energy consuming products. 3. Collect additional data in order to improve accuracy of the LEED realization rate: The current realization rate is based on two data points from post occupancy evaluations. Accuracy could be improved by collecting additional data on LEED buildings through future post occupancy evaluations. 4. Improve support of Post-Occupancy Evaluations: BetterBricks is well positioned to assist building owners with POEs, ensuring expected savings are realized. 5. Complete evaluation of results reported by HMG: Cadmus noted areas in which further analysis could potentially improve the accuracy of energy savings on Building Operations and Grocery refrigeration tune-up projects previously evaluated by HMG. A comprehensive follow-up review to obtain additional information and validate the pending savings is recommended. CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 33 Tl:I.E~~~ C~H.(JC1.F_ F0lC; Appendix A: Design and Construction Sampling and Evaluation Methodology BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 35 Appendix B: BetterBricks Staff Design and Construction Project Selection Methodology There are now over 400 projects in the CTS database. In an effort to keep the level of work of the labs to a manageable level, the number of projects selected for detailed data gathering had to be limited. The process to select a set of projects followed the outlined sequence below and used the criteria identified: 1. Assembled preliminary lists for each lab from the CTS database 2. Requested labs to review and add any missing or correct key identifying data 3. Requested each lab to highlight the top 10-15 projects in terms of highest savings potential Rationale and Criteria for Selecting Projects for Savings Analysis Message to the Labs early October: "We need the project savings data for several reasons: 1) to generate some data on energy savings for a manageable set of projects (instead of all your projects). 2) to help determine what the highest level of energy effciency we can deliver is. Criteria for selection, in priority order, are: 1. Projects that utilize the most comprehensive integrated design (i.e., the full wheel and addresses both lighting and mechanical systems). 2. Have the highest savings potential (known actual or estimated). 3. Projects in target markets. 4. Have a lot of data available or data are easily obtainable. 5. High profie (project has gotten, or wil get, a lot of publicity)." - i.e. good documentation. F or the selected subset: 4. Determine key data to collect for each project 5. Assemble data from CTS on top projects 6. Return to labs to fill in missing data 7. Add or subtract projects based on new information: - limited lab involvement -limited measures (one small measure or small area) - limited or no data on savings - difficult to obtain data (unwiling architect or owner) CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 36 'T'~IF: --(~HIJ\JI~, 8. Suggest to Cadmus to move projects to definite or to estimation group - to estimation if not complete yet - to definite if complete. Note: In addition to these steps, Cadmus has its own method of project selection or removal- see project decision tree. CADMUS BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 37 ern,it.IT'. IJ%YC:~ Appendix C:Realization Rate Development Cadmus calculated energy savings for the majority of validated Design and Constrction projects (17 out of2l) by applying a realization rate, as discussed in the previous chapter. This realization rate was also applied to a variety of new constrction projects, whether pending, committed, or planned. The projects that formed the basis of this realization rate are described below: · In the case ofOR-07, the initial LEED design model indicated savings of 49% above code. A recently-completed POE for this building indicated ongoing work to bring the heat recovery system up from 1/3 of its projected potentiaL. The POE provided two estimates for system performance, based on no and full heat recovery, as indicated in Table 24 below. Cadmus conservatively assumes the repair work wil be at least parially successful and achieve 50% of full heat recovery. Therefore, the evaluation team applied gas energy savings halfway between the two values proposed in the POE. The resulting energy savings equal 34,417 MBtu, 79% of the 43,463 MBtu savings originally predicted and 38% above code. · For OR-08, the POE indicated a 3% savings above Oregon energy code, but only 9.7% of the value predicted by the LEED modeling. An examination of reasons behind the low realization rate was outside the scope of this evaluation. · In the case ofWA-07, the POE revealed a 17% savings with respect to Seattle.energy code and only 57% of the savings predicted by the LEED modeling. · POE data were also available for W A-II, which did not receive support from the Integrated Design Lab and therefore no program energy savings were associated with this project. W A-II is a LEED-certified building with a POE performed contemporaneously with WA-07, by the same firm. It is included to provide an additional data point upon which to base a realization rate.

Cadmus could only acquire four POEs performed to our standards of accuracy. The Cadmus procedure follows impact evaluation standard practice to determine the realization rate, which is a ratio of actual savings determined by the evaluation contrctor to initial savings projected by the design modeL. Cadmus recommends the following process to develop the realization rate for an occupied new constrction building: · Obtain the original energy effcient design model and one year of post-occupancy utilty bils. · Modify the model to reflect as-built design and operating characteristics. · Calibrate the as-built model to the POE biled energy use by adjusting plug loads and other variables as appropriate. · Develop an adjusted baseline model by replacing data values used for the installed energy effcient measures with associated data values from the appropriate state energy code or standard practice equivalent, as applicable. · Determine actual energy savings as the difference between the adjusted baseline model energy use and actual energy use. · Calculate the realization rate by dividing the actual energy savings by the savings as claimed through a utilty program or as projected by the design team. A.number of studies and evaluations have examined savings associated with LEED new constrction projects. However, several of those studies determine savings by comparing actual energy use from biling data with the original model built to code. One study author provided a cautionary note that claims "the comparisons in this report between actual energy usage and initial baseline modeling give only a very approximate initial estimate of energy efficiency savings8." As a result, Cadmus did not consider these study results for use in determining a realization rate to validate or estimate savings in this study. Studies that provide approximate estimates cited above include: · "Energy Performance ofLEEDiI for New Constrction Buildings," by Cathy Turer and Mark Frankel, New Buildings Institute, March 4, 20089 8 "LEED Building Performance in the Cascadia Region: A Post Occupancy Evaluation Report" by Cathy Turner for the Cascadia Region Green Building Council, Januar 30, 2006.9 oCww.newbuildings.org/downloadsÆnergy_Performance_oC LEED-NC _ Buildings-Final_ 3-4-08b.pdf: BetterBricks Energy Savings Evaluation 46 · "LEED Building Pedormance in the Cascadia Region: A Post Occupancy Evaluation Report" by Cathy Turner for the Cascadia Region Green Building Council, January 30, 2006 · "Operating Experiences at the CK Choi and Liu Centre Buildings at the University of British Columbia," by Blair McCarr and Rosamunde Hyde Cadmus recommends NEEA provide funding to pedorm more extensive post-occupancy evaluations, similar to those described in Section 3 of this study. The POEs wil produce additional information on the performance of LEED-certified buildings, provide more accurate realization rate data for predicting future building and program pedormance, and determine the validity of approximations developed in the above studies.

The main objective of the project is to identify the 'signature of oversizing' of rooftop units (RTU) through measurement during peak cooling conditions and estimation of the penalties associated with oversized RTUs for the monitored period. We also interviewed mechanical engineering firms to better understand the design and sizing process. Finally, extensive simulation work was completed to extend the penalties associated with oversizing throughout the whole cooling season. Determining the 'Signature of Over sizing' From a review of the literature, we found several previous projects that had been carred out to study the pedormance ofRTUs. All previous studies were carred out in order to identify solutions to increase the performance of (oversized) RTU s. Even though many of the earlier studies concluded that the RTUs were oversized, there was no attempt to look back at the design stage of these RTUs to identify what factors lead to oversizing. We determined that previous methods for estimating penalties associated with oversizing did not account for all penalties due to the focus of the earlier studies on operations and maintenance. The earlier studies tyically estimated the penalties by comparing two scenarios of the same RTU: (1) the cycling scenario and (2) the steady state scenario. In both scenarios, the RTU was the same oversized RTU and did not consider the pedormance of a 'rightsized' unit. By contrast, this research calculated the penalty using the rightsized RTU as the comparison baseline, which increased the penalty associated with oversizing. For each oversized RTU we calculated the rightsized capacity, and estimated the penalties by comparing the energy consumption and the peak cooling demand of these two RTUs, the existing (oversized) RTU and the rightsized RTU. The rightsized RTU has considerably lower capacity as compared to the existing RTU, depending on the degree of oversizing. Somewhat surprisingly, the energy penalty estimated with the new method is similar to the earlier studies, because even though the baseline capacity has decreased, the smaller unit would need to run longer to meet the load. However, the new method found that the peak cooling demand penalty is considerably higher than earlier study because the peak cooling demand is now compared to the rightsized RTU with a smaller capacity, and therefore a smaller power draw. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page vüi This research proposes to use both the maximum cycling rate (Nma) and the ru-time fraction (RTF) as the signature of oversizing. The desired combination is to have a low Nmax and high RTF. These two parameters can be easily calculated based on data from the multiple RTUs measured for this research. The Signatures of the Measured RTUs A total of nine RTUs in eight buildings were measured durng peak summer conditions in July and August 2009. The measurement protocol included logging the air temperatues at various points of the air distrbution system (at a minimum the outside air, retu air, mixed air, supply air, and indoor air temperatures). The measurement also logged the electrc current drawn by the compressor and the supply fan. Out of nine RTUs measured, this study found only two that were rightsized while the rest showed different degrees of oversizing. The two rightsized RTUs have the following combination ofNmax and RTF: 0 cycle/hour and l(for Building G) and 1.13 cycles/hour and 0.9 (for Building F). The low Nmax for Building F and G means that the RTUs raely cycled ON and OFF, and the high RTF means that the RTUs were ruing almost all the time durng the peak condition. The rest of the buildings showed varous degree of oversizing, had relatively high Nma and low RTF, although the RTU with highest Nmax did not necessarily have the lowest RTF. The inverse is also tre, the RTU with the lowest RTF did not have the highest Nma. The highest Nmax was 8.78 cycle/hour, with an RTF of 0.31. The lowest RTF was 0.15, with an Nma of2.66 cycle/hour. Penalties of Oversizing This study found that the signature of oversizing (the Nmax and the RTF) can accurately indicate oversizing. The rightsized RTUs (with the right combination ofNma and RTF) have a Part-Load Ratio (PLR) of 1, which means that the RTUs were running at full capacity. The other RTUs with various degrees of oversizing run at part of their capacity. The RTU with the highest Nnax rus at PLR of only 0.21, which means it used only about 20% of its capacity to meet the cooling load on a design day condition. The RTU with the lowest RTF runs at PLR of 0.5, which means that the RTU can meet the peak load with only half of its capacity. A similar trend can also be observed for the energy penalty estimate. The rightsized RTUs have almost no penalty at all, both in terms of energy and peak demand. On the other hand, the RTUs with the signature of oversizing show both energy penalty and peak demand penalty. These energy penalties were as high as 50%, although the range from 15% to 25% was more tyical depending on the degree of oversizing. The peak demand penalty was as much as 0.92 kW/ton, which means the peak demand savings from a 5-ton RTU could be 4.6 kW. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page ix Design and Oversizing Out of the nine RTUs measured, we have interview results associated with five of them. Interviews were conducted with the mechanical engineering firms to determine how the design and sizing process was carred out. The main result of the interviews is a set of assumptions that were often used in the sizing calculations by mechanical engineers. With this and other parts of the interview, we have identified a number of design related factors that can lead to oversizing: (1) high internal load assumptions, (2) external shading is not considered in the sizing calculation, (3) safety factors for the sizing calculation, and (4) lack of communication with other members of the design team. Incentivized Right-Sizing Many previous studies have made recommendations on how to increase the performance existing RTUs. However, there is no real recommendation on how to tackle the issue of oversizing from the design stage. This study recommends to develop an incentive progrm so that the owners and designers can work together to reduce the size ofRTUs. As has been suggested by many studies, the only way to eliminate oversized RTUs is to install a new- rightsized - RTD. This is only possible for old buildings that need new HVAC replacements. Considering the age of a typical offce buildings in the Pacific Northwest (two-third of small commercial spaces are built prior to 1987), the market potential for RTU replacement is significant. However, it is common practice to replace old units with the same sized new unit to avoid any additional engineering. Therefore an incentive to support downsized replacements might encourage new and more precise engineering. This study recommends two tyes of incentives. One targeted at RTU replacements, and one targeted at new constrction with RTUs. In either case, we recommend to use the signature of oversizing discussed in this report (the cycling period and the RTF) as the basis for the incentive programs. These two parameters can accurately estimate the penalties associated with oversizing. For RTU replacements, it is feasible that, with guidance, a maintenance engineer or HVAC contractor can conduct the measurement required and analyze the measurement results. For new design projects, simulation methods should supplement existing sizing calculation methods to avoid oversizing. Building designers currently do not have any incentive to rightsize RTUs, while at the same time they can avoid several potential problems by oversizing. A design oriented incentive program that requires a specific simulation methodology wil result in fewer oversized RTUs. The methodologies for field measurement and simulation analysis provide a good starting point for the development of these incentive programs. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page x 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Rooftop units (RTUs) are one of the most commonly used heating ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for small commercial buildings. In Northern California (PGE 1997), it represents more than 2.3 milion tons of air conditioning capacity, covering around 70% of the commercial cooling. The Pacific Nortwest, 34% of the commercial buildings are cooled with RTUs comprising an estimated 1.3 milion tons (NEEA 2004). Multiple institutions have conducted research projects to study the pedormance ofRTUs. In the Pacific Northwest, studies have been carried out by the Northwest Energy Effciency Allance (NEEA), Portland Energy Conservation Inc. (PECI), and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). These studies and other research wil be reviewed in Section 2. Most research has focused on the operation and maintenance issues associated with RTUs, not the design and sizing ofRTUs as wil be discussed in this paper. 1.2 Objectives Specifically, the study aims to: 1. Identify which aspects of the design process lead to RTU oversizing 2. Identify the "signature" ofRTU oversizing by monitoring several RTUs at peak summertime conditions, 3. Estimate the energy penalties associated with RTU oversizing 4. Develop educational materials based upon the results 1.3 The scope and limitation The scope of work was limited in the following ways: 1. RTU Type: packaged single zone RTUs only; we did not examine RTUs with variable air volume (VAV) 2. Building size: small commercial applications only; buildings less than 25,000 ft2 were considered in the sample 3. Building tye: offce buildings only; offce buildings were selected because they have relatively consistent internal gains from building to Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 1 building. This facilitates comparing data between buildings, however limits the generalizability of the results to offce applications. Another useful building type to consider for future study would be small retail applications, however, the internal loads at this type of facility are highly variable and therefore not addressed in this paper. 4. Age of buildings: two groups were established, 'old' and 'new'; old buildings were determined to be anything designed prior to 2001. New buildings were determined to be those that were designed during or or after 2001. This date was selected since January of 200 1 marked the date when the first energy code was enforced in Idaho. The term 'designed' refers to the point at which constrction documents were submitted to the building departent for their review. 5. RTU mode: cooling only; although RTUs usually come with both heating and cooling systems, this study examined cooling performance only. 1.4 Methodology This research comprises three distinct methods 1. Surveys and interviews with engineers 2. Measurement of RTU performance during peak summer conditions 3. Simulation ofRTU performance using Energy Plus 1.4.1 Survey and Interview 1.4.1.1 Survey A survey was developed and sent to mechanical engineering firms in the Treasure Valley, near Boise. The firms were requested to list at least ten buildings (five 'old' and and five 'new') that incorporated RTUs as the HVAC system. Specifically, the survey requested the following information: 1. Building name 2. Year of design 3. Floor area of offce space 4. Capacity of the RTU for the offce space Survey results provided general information about the buildings and basic sizing and capacity data of the RTU (in terms offt/ton, and total tons). From this list of ten buildings, we worked with the firm to select two buildings that would be studied in detaiL. The selected buildings would be considered for on-site monitoring, follow-up interviews, and simulation. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 2 1.4.1.2 Interview An interview was carred out with each engineering firm individually and examined the two buildings selected for detailed study. The scope of the interviews included a detailed review of the design process for each building, and specifically addressed the single RTU that would be measured. The interview included questions in the following categories: 1. RTU sizing process: defining the design assumptions. 2. Design/constrction dynamics: interactions with owner and contractors. Results from the interviews were used to identify factors that might lead to sizing errors and to provide general insight into the engineering process. 1.4.2 Measurement The monitoring was carred out on the RTUs for buildings that were selected as a result of the survey. Only one RTU for each building was selected for monitoring due to budget constraints. For each selected RTU, the following parameters were logged: 1. Outdoor air temperature (OAT) 2. Supply air temperature (SAT) 3. Mixed air temperatue (MAT) 4. Indoor air temperatue (IAT) 5. Retu air temperatue (RAT) 6. Supply fan current 7. Compressor current The on-site monitoring was cared out for a period long enough to encompass at least one day where the maximum OAT was above 95°F, representing a tyical design day for Boise, ID. The on-site monitoring data provided critical insights to determine the 'signatue of oversizing'. In paricular, cycling patterns of the compressor and runtime percentages were examined. 1.4.3 Simulation Simulation was used to estimate, with as much accuracy as presently feasible with EnergyPlus, the total annual energy penalty associated with RTU oversizing. The simulations were carred out in several stages: 1. Calibration: the simulation settings (constrction materials, schedules, and capacities) were set to match the existing constrction and operating Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 3 conditions. Simulations were conducted under the same conditions as the on-site monitoring The compressor cycling patterns were compared for the two data sets. 2. Auto-sizing: the calibrated model was re-run using the 'auto-sizing' option such thatthe compressor was sized using the default method in EnergyPlus. The results of this stage were then established as a new (lower) capacity level for the compressor that stil met the cooling load. Annual simulations for both models (Calibrated and Auto-sized) were conducted and the energy penalty associated with oversizing was determined as the difference between the cooling energy consumption of the two simulation results. 1.4.4 The Buildings Table 1.1 shows the list of the firms and buildings involved in this study. The total number of buildings surveyed is 23, and eight of these were monitored. A detailed report is provided foreach of thse eight buildings , and they are identified in this report as Buildings A-H. We conducted interviews with the design firms for six out of the eight buildings monitored.. Four of the six buildings were simulated using EnergyPlus. Two of these four also had eQUEST models that we acquired which had been previously completed by the mechanical engineers.

Report summarzing initial team meetings. 2. Report on building monitorig results and estimates for penalties associated with over-sizing. 3. Attendance list from education and training offering. This report is wrtten to meet these deliverables, with two important notes: 1. Early in our process,we adapted our research method such that there was not a single initial team meeting since we determined this would not be conducive to open sharing of information between competing engineers. Therefore, the format of the first deliverable is modified as described below. The .'initial meeting" is part of the methodology conceived during the proposal stage of this work. It was thought of as a meeting of local engineering firms to discuss oversizing concerns in a general manner. This meeting was intentionally canceled during the initial stage of the study because we determined the meeting was unlikely to achieve its intended goal. The sizing process of HVAC systems tend to be guarded and are considered trade secrets by many engineering firms. We determined that they would be less likely to openly discuss such topics with members of other engineering firms, essentially their competitors, present. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 5 In lieu of this method, we conducted the survey and followup interviews as described previously. Any identifying information associated with the surveys and the interviews must remain confidential by requirement of the University of Idaho Human Assurances Committee. Participants wil remain anonymous in all reports documentingthis research. 2. The results of this research wil become part of an education program that wil be carred out after this report has been published, in 2010. This report has the following strcture: 1.

The first section highlights the niche that the current study fills among previous research. In the subsequent sections, the theoretical background on part-load degradation of HVAC equipment is discussed, in particular how to quantify the degradation based on measured data. The review is concluded by the discussion of penalty estimation. This study estimated the penalty in peak- demand by addressing the oversizing in designed capacity ofthe RTUs. 2.2 RTU Market potential In northern California (Felts & Bailey 2000), small commercial offce and retail buildings account for 50% of commercial building. floor area and HVAC system energy use. Over 75% of the building stock is less than 5,000 ff, and almost 90% is less than 10,000 ft. Approximately 80% of the buildings were constrcted before 1985. Anual air conditioning energy use for the buildings in the hotter inland areas is 3.64 kWh!f2. RTUs consume 4.3 bilion kWh per year, which trslates into approximately $400 milion/year In energy expenses. In the Pacific Northwest (NEEA 2004; NEEA 2005), small commercial offce and retail buildings account for approximately 33% of commercial building floor area and about 36% of HVAC system energy use. Around 11 % of the building stock is less than 5,000 ft2, and almost 36% is less than 20,000 ft2. Around 67% of the buildings were constrcted before 1987. 2.3 Previous studies on RTUs We identified six previous studies that examined the performance of the RTUs since 1998: 1. Pacific Gas and Electrc (PGE), 1998, surveyed 250 RTU in Northern California. 2. Eugene Water and Electrc Board (EWEB), 2001, studied 30 RTUs in Eugene, Oregon. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 7 3. Puget Sound Energy (PSE), 2003 - 2004, studied 118 RTUs in Puget Sound, Washington. 4. Northwest Energy Effciency Alliance (NEEA) Phase I, 2002, studied 65 RTUs in Idaho, Montana and Washington. 5. Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) Phase II, 2003 - 2004, studied 75 RTUs in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. 6. California Energy Commission (CEC), 2001 - 2002, studied 215 RTUs in California. All studies found various problems in RTU installation, maintenance, and operations, and all of them recommend action programs to mitigate these problems. Based upon the cycling rates identified, these previous studies concluded that many RTUs are oversized. (Cowan 2004). Specifically, a report by Felts and Bailey (2000) regarding the 1998 PGE study listed above stated that: In at least 40% of the cases, the unit size could be dropped by 50% or more or conversely, the floor area that the unit serves could be increased by 100%. Nonetheless, no previous study addressed the issue from the design point of view. Our research aimed to examine oversizing from the design perspective. 2.4 How RTUs are sized Small commercial buildings, the focus of this study, are tyically skin dominated. That means that the cooling load responds more to the climate condition (outside air temperature and solar radiation) than to the internal gains (people, equipments, lighting). The RTU, similar to any air conditioning system, is sized based on the peak external air temperatures. The challenge in sizing an RTU is that the peak temperatures occur for only a few hundred hours throughout the entire year. Figure 2.1 shows the temperature distrbution for Boise, ID, based on the tyical year data. The air conditioning (AC) unit is sized based on design day condition, which is 95 of for Boise, ID. There are only about 100 hours in a typical year that exceed this design condition in Boise. Since small buildings are tyically skin dominated, the cooling load is very sensitive to changes in the outside air temperature. The lower the outside air temperature, the lower the cooling load. Figure 2.2 shows how the cooling load of a building changes as the outside air temperatue changes. Note that the example give in Figure 2.2 shows a scenario where the peak cooling load happens not at the peak temperature. This tyically caused by Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 8 solar radiation load, which peaks several hours befor,e the peak temperature. Without the solar radiation load, the cooling load at peak temperature can be considerably lower, as ilustrted in Figue 2.2.

AC capacity Since the air conditioning is sized based on the high temperatue, it wil operate most of the time to handle a cooling load (much) lower than its capacity. This is referred to as par-load operation. Furthermore, when the RTU has excessive safety factors (oversizing) (see Figure 2.2),the part-load condition is even worse. Air-conditioning units do not operate as effciently at part-load as compared to full-capacity operation. The theoretical background of part-load degradation wil be discussed in the following sections. 2.5 The Rules of Thumbs The problem with sizing HVAC systems for small buildings are shown through the results of the previous surey by Jacobs and Henderson (Jacobs & Henderson 2002). At least two conclusions are relevant for the current report. The first important conclusion is the average time spent designing HVAC systems for small building projects. Figure 2.3 shows the average time spent to complete various tasks when designing small building projects. The average time for engineers to design HVAC systems for small building projects is approximately 40 hours. Although this seems like a short period of time, the HVAC system design represents a large proportion of all hours spent on the design of small commerciaL. Furthermore, HVAC system design Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 10 involves very broad work from sizing calculations to air distrbution calculations to overall system selection. lAO Figure 2.3 Design time for small building (Jacobs & Conlon 2002) The second conclusion relates to the tool used for sizing calculations (Figure 2.4). Approximately half (51 %) of the respondents use manufacturer's sizing calculation softare. The next biggest proportion (17%) rely only on previous experience and the rules of thumb. The widespread use of .'previous experience" and the rules of thumb could be an indication of why oversizing is so prevalent in small commercial buildings. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 11 Figure 2.4 Tools used for sizing (Jacobs & Henderson 2002) There is nothing inherently wrong with the rules of thumb. Figure 2.5 and Table 2.1 shows some examples of the rule of thumb method. The rules of thumb are usually presented as a range of numbers, and do not by themselves cause the problem if used as they are intended, as a starting point, and a secondary guide to verify other calculations. Figure 2.5 Rules of thumb (Guthrie 2003) Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report #20090208-01)Page 12 Table 2.1 Rules of thumb for AC unit capacity (Bell 2008) Building Type ftl/ton Offces, Commercial: General 300-400 Offces, Commercial: Large perimeter 225 -275 Offces, Commercial: Large interior 300 - 350 Offces, Commercial: Small 325 -375 Banks, Court Houses, Municipal Buildings, Town Halls 200-250 Police Stations, Fire Stations, Post Offces 250- 350 Precision Manufacturing 50- 300 Computer rooms 50 -150 Restaurants 100-250 Medical/Dental centers, Clinics, Offces 250- 300 As Haines and Wilson (2003) put it: Every HVAC designer needs some handy empirical datafor use in approximating loads and equipment sizes during the early conceptual stages of the design process. And further: Energ conserving practice in envelope construction, in lighting design, and in system design has resulted in decreased loads in many cases. But increased use of personal computers and other appliances has the opposite effect of increasing the air conditioning requirements. Designers must develop their own site-specifc data if the data are to be reliable. The above quotes represent best practices with regards to the rules of thumb. However, some engineers use rules of thumb as their primary design tool. The following paragraph represents the view that rules of thumb are "accurate" enough even if design practices have changed over the years (Bell 2008): Many of the rules of thumb listed within this reference manual were developed many years ago. I have received Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 13 many questions when conducting seminars regarding these rules of thumb. The most often asked question is "Are the cooling and heating load rules of thumb stil accurate with the mandate of energ codes and tighter and improved building envelope construction?" The answer to this question is yes. The reason the cooling rules of thumb are stil accurate is that the internal loads have increased substantially and cooling loads have switched from building-envelope-dependent, to lighting-dependent, and now to people-and-equipment-dependent (more people and equipment placed in the same area). The reason the heating load rules of thumb are stil reasonably accurate is that the ventilation air (outdoor air load dictated by code) has increased. The size of the RTUs depend on the how they were designed and what tool was used. The fact that many RTU's are oversized has a lot to do with the way the designers use the two most-used tools, the manufacturer's softare and the rules-of-thumb. Note that what we tr to point out is not the problem with the tool itself. There is nothing wrong with the tool as long as the the designers know how to use it with all its advantages and limitations. 2.6 Basic terminologies 2.6.1 Run-time fraction versus Cycling rate Figure 2.6 shows the relationship between space temperatue, the AC unit status and the set-point temperature. The AC unit is ON when the space temperature reaches the maximum point in the set-point range and is OFF when the space temperature reaches the minimum point. The range around the set-point temperature is -DT spt.

Run-time fraction is the ratio of the time when the AC unit is ON to the total cycle time.It is important to differentiate between ru-time fraction (RTF) and the cycling rate. Run Ti Fl1n v,s.

Both graphs in Figure 2.7 have a run-time fraction of 50%. However, the bottom graph shows that the AC unit is ON for 60 minutes and then OFF for 60 minutes, and the top graph shows that the AC is ON for 30 minutes and OFF for another 30 minutes. A run-time fraction of 50% does not say a great deal about how frequently a unit cycles. It simply states the total time over a given period that a unit is ON. Cycling rate (N), on the other hand, is how long a unit has a complete ON- OFF cycle. 1N=- t cycle (3) Referring to the above examples, 60 minutes ON and then 60 minutes OFF means a cycling rate of 0.5 cycles/hour, while 30 minutes ON then 30 minutes OFF means 1 cycles/hour. 2.6.2 Part-load degradation Part-load degradation is described by the part-load factor (PLF), which is the ratio of the part-load coeffcient ofpedormance (COP) to the steady-state COP. PLF COP avgCOPss (4) where: COPavg COPss Average COP ("degraded" COP) over the cycling time = Steady-state COP Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrted Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 16 PLF is not to be confused by the part-load ratio (PLR) or the cooling load factor (CLF), which is the ratio of the building load to the total air conditioning capacity. PLR=~= Building Load Qss ACCapacity (5) where: Qavg = Average capacity ("degrded" capacity) over the cycling time Qss Steady-state AC capacity The effciency degradation curves can be explained in Figure 2.8 (Jacobs 2003b). AC equipment wil need a certain amount of "start up" time to reach a steady-state output. Runtim~ Frp1Zion =0 60% Runti Tll1E Figure 2.8 Penormance degradation due to cycling (Jacobs 2003b) The startp losses (shaded in red) mark the difference between the actual output and the steady state output. When the air-conditioning unit operates continuously (with a high run-time frction and low cycling rate), then the startp losses wil be negligible. However, if the unit cycles in short periods of time, then the startp time wil become a significant portion of the total run-time. In this scenario, the stap losses becomes significant, and degrade the performance of the air-conditioning unit. A previous study by Parken et. al. (1985) established that the part-load pedormance of cycling HVAC equipment depends on: Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 17 1. the response of the system at startp (defined by a time constant or dead time). 2. the cycling rate of the equipment (governed by the thermostat characteristics and the building thermal mass) 1M Figure 2.9 Part-load factor as function of part- load ratio Figure 2.9 shows the correlation between PLF and the PLR, and it is developed by using the following equation: PLF = 1- ('1)( 1- PLR)(6) And -I )(4TNC =4TN (l-e m~)D max (7) where: PLF PLR Nmax Part-load Factor Par-load Ratio = Maximum cycling rate Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 18 t The HVAC system time constant The maximum cycling rate (Nmax) is the combined characteristics of the HVAC system and the building.

The same study further concluded that more than 40% of the units studied were more than 25% oversized and about 10% are considerably greater than 50% oversized. The study considered only RTUs that are greater than 25% oversized because many HVAC engineers consider oversizing by 25% as "safe and acceptable practices" for oversizing. In the same study, the quantification of oversizing was based on the monitoring of RTU compressor. Figues 2.10 and 2.11 show the tyical measurement result for California. The graphs show the outdoor temperatue and the operating status of the compressor. The oversized RTU shows a pattern of continuous cycling (Figure 2.10) while the properly sized RTU shows no cycling during the peak-day operation (Figure 2.11). Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 19 Figure 2.10 Measurement result with the signature of oversizng (Felts & Bailey 2000) JI I~ ¡l;l ll..' -'.. .. Figure 2.11 Measurement result showing properly sized RTU (Felts & Bailey 2000) From the above measurement, the cycling rate and the runtime fraction of the RTU can be calculated. Based on the cycling rate and the runtime frction, the part-load degradation (in terms of effciency reduction) can be estimated. Previous studies show several ways to estimate the effciency of the RTUs: 1. By using the compressor power (Felts 1998): Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 20 The measured compressor power is used to calculate the system effciency as shown in the following equation: Elf . (compressor input power) kWiciency . -capacity ton (9) This effciency can then be compared with the published effciency (in terms ofEER). The ratio of the measured effciency and the nominal effciency is the PLF (see equation 4). The term 'capacity' in the above equation is the actual capacity (at the actual air temperatures at the condenser and evaporator). However, Felts (1998) decided to use the nominal capacity for two reasons; (1) their monitored data did not include air flow measurement and (2) their monitoring period was not confined to the design conditions or near- design condition. 2. By using the measured air temperatures (outside air and at evaporator) (Felts 1998): The study uses this method not to estimate the effciency of the RTU but to generate a benchmark of ideal operation. The method uses the linear regression equations supplied by the Air Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA) Manual J, as follows: Total capacity=K +mi CFM +mi T ewb + m3 T oa (10) Sensible capacity = Q+ ni CFM + ni T ewb + n3T edb + n4 Toa (11) Compressor power=R+o1CFM+oiT ewb+03Toa (12) The constants (K, Q, R, mi, mi, m3, ni, ni, n3, 14,01, oi, 03) are determined using the manufacturers data. U sing this method one can calculate the effciency of the RTU at any combination of air temperatures (outdoor and at evaporator). Comparing this effciency with the nominal effciency, one can calculate the degradation. 3. By using the measured refrgerant condition A Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) study (Arstrong et aL. 2006) found that the measurement of airfow is not feasible because Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 21 (1) it is diffcult to do with acceptable accuracy, and (2) the space inside the RTU (around the evaporator) does not provide enough room to do a proper airflow measurement. The study concluded that measuring the refrgerant is the more accurate and feasible option. Our study however did not use any of the above methods to quantify the degree of oversizing. The first method is not accurate enough because it uses the nominal capacity (instead of the capacity at the time of measurement) to calculate the efficiency. The second method wil provide the ideal operation, but wil not help in estimating the real situation (the second method was not initially used for part-load degrdation in the first place). The third method is simply beyond the scope of this project. The method used for this study wil be discussed in Section 4.2.2 on page 34. 2.8 How to quantify the penalty associated to oversizing An American Council for an Energy Effcient Economy (ACEEE) study (Neme et aL. 1999) found only a few studies that reported the benefits of rightsizing (or the penalty of oversizing). This is because: It is not possible to correct equipment sizing problems without replacing the unit. That is extremely expensive and, therefore, never done. Neme et. aL. (1999) quoted McLain and Goldberg (1984) who estimated an energy savings of 0.2% for every 1 percent reduction in oversizing. That means an energy savings of 10% for correcting an average oversizing of 50%. The savings in terms of peak demand is also estimated as "moderate", and no number is associated to the qualitative description. It should be noted that McLain and Goldberg (1984) focused on the residential sector. The reported energy savings assumed an average oversizing of 50% or more, which means an average of around 1 ton oversizing for the average home. The average oversizing may be different for commercial buildings, and the average oversizing in tons wil typically be more than 1 ton. Furthermore, the operation mode is rarely "continuously ON" for residential sector, only in about 20% of homes. Therefore the penalty for oversizing should be be significantly higher on the commercial sector. Felts and Bailey (2000) report that over 60% ofRTUs surveyed have cycling rates of3 cycles/hour or more. Jacobs (2003a), referrng to Felts and Bailey (2000) report, estimated that the potential energy savings from mitigating this problem is around 10%. Jacobs (2003a) did not elaborate how he arrved at the 10% savings. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 22 Felts and Bailey (2000) reported that 40% of the RTUs are more than 25% oversized. This represents about 900,000 ton or around 180,000 units in Northern California. The study also found that the power draw of an average RTU is about 1.5 kW/ton. Their study estimated a 2.5 kW reduction in the peak demand by replacing an oversized RTU with a more effcient and properly sized RTU. The reduction in the peak demand (should all the 40% RTU in Northern California be replaced) wil be 450 MW of 1,350 MW (roughly 33% savings). Assuming 1,000 hours of operation for the whole cooling season, the savings wil be 450 milion kWh (roughly 33% savings).The 33% savings figure also represents the penalty due to oversizing. Another study (Henderson et aL. 1991) estimated the penalty for oversizing to be roughly 11 % for Nmax of 2.5 cycles/hour, the average found in their study (Table 2.2). However, this estimated energt penalty simply considers the same sized unit without cycling (under steady state energy use) instead of a rightsized unit which would actually be necessary to eliminate cycling. Essentially, the fact that the unit is oversized, thus resulting in the high cycling rate, is not factored into the energy penalty published. Table 2.2 Penalty for oversizng (Henderson et al. 1991) Figure 2.12 ilustrates what is described in Henderson et aL. (1991). The first graph shows the oversized scenario, where the Qss is the steady state capacity of the AC unit that cycles with toNI and Ìecle, and, q 1 is the area under the curve which represents the energy output of the system. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 23 To estimate the energy penalty, the same RTU (with capacity ofQss) is assumed to ru under steady state condition for a certain period of time, so that the energy removed from the space (q2) is the same as the energy removed by the same RTU under cycling condition (q 1). This is ilustrted in the bottom graph of Figure 2.12. The result is a shorter ON time for the RTU under steady state condition, and the shorter ON time wil result in about 11 % savings (for Nmax = 2.5 cycle/hour) as described in Table 2.2. Figure 2.12 Quantifying the penalty of oversizing as described by Henderson et al. (1991) It should be noted that the RTUs shown in both scenarios in Figure 2.12 are the same unit, the oversized unit. This scenario is unrealistic because the oversized unit would, by definition, never run without cycling. We developed Figure 2.13 to ilustrate our concern with the above method which does not take into account the oversized designed capacity. Figure 2.13 ilustrates a scenario that addresses the issue of oversized capacity, which in turn wil result in a more realistic estimation on the penalties of oversizing. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 24 Figure 2.13 Quantüying the penalty of oversizing The first graph in Figure 2.13 represents the same cycling RTU. The cycling scenario in (as indicated in Table 2.2) is calculated based on the assumption of 50% PLR, which means that the building load is only half of the RTU capacity. In other words, the building could function with a RTU of half the original capacity (or 0.5Qss) as described in the bottom graph of Figure 2.13. The rightsized unit would run for toN3 which is the same as the tcycle in the first scenario, not at par-load but at full-load, which wil improve its performance beyond what was estimated by Henderson et al. (1991). The numbers in Table 2.2 may stil represents the same penalty for the rightsized unit ilustrated in Figure 2.13, The decrease in effciency wil stil be the same if the RTUs (the oversized and the rightsized) both have the same EER. The increase in energy use wil stil be the same, even though the rightsized RTU has half of the capacity because it wil need to run longer ( continuously). What was hidden in Table 2.2 is the peak-demand penalty. The scenario described in Figure 2.13 reduced the peak-demand by half compared to the scenario described in Figure 2.12. Previous study (Felts & Bailey 2000) estimated a reduction of 2.5 kW from the average 5-ton unit drawing 7.5 kW, which means 33% reduction in peak demand.

The questions and surey formats were approved HAC. The survey and interviews are all confidentiaL. The names of the buildings and engineering firms participating in these surveys and interviews have been replaced with unidentifiable codes. 3.2 The respondents The respondents for the surveys include mechanical engineering firms in near Boise, ID. Furtermore, the firms selected had some previous awareness of the Integrated Design Lab (IDL).. This decision was made based on the nature of the information sought in the survey. The confidential information that was shared by the firms required a level of confidence and securty offered by the IDL. Therefore, no "blind" or random invitations to participate in the surey were made. Table 3.1 shows the list of participants with a summary of their involvement. Some firms had diffculty in responding to the survey because of the scope of work of this study. For example, some of the firms did not often design offce buildings with RTUs, reducing the potential buildings to choose from. 3.3 The survey The survey asked the respondents to list the buildings that met basic suty parameters (office building with RTU, or buildings with offce space that is served with separate RTU system). For those buildings, the respondents were asked to provide data for five 'new' buildings and five 'old' buildings: 1. Building Name: Enter the name of the building 2. Description: Enter the description of the building. General information on shape and use 3. Owner/Contact Info: Enter the name of the owner and the contact information 4. Year: Enter the year when the building is designed 5. Total SF (offce only): Enter the total SF for the office space Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab~Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 26 6. Total SF (excluding offce): Enter other areas of the building (if any) 7. Total Tons (offce only): Enter the total refrigeration tons that serve offce zones 8. Total Tons (excluding offce): Enter the total refrgeration tons for the rest of the buildings 9. Heating source: Electrc or Gas 10. Heating capacity (Btu): Enter the designed heating capacity 11. Glazing Area: WW for the whole building (Low=less than 20%, High=more than 40% The survey was sent to all of the potential respondents, however, only four firms replied with usable data as summarized below in Table 3.1. The complete response from the respondents are available in Appendix A.2. Table 3.1 Summary of respondents Firm Name Response FirmA Mechanical engineering firm, responded to the survey, two of the buildings were measured, interviewed for those two buildings FirmB Mechanical engineering firm, responded to the survey, two of the buildings were measured, interviewed for those two buildings FirmC Mechanical engineering firm, responded to the survey although with diffculties due to the building tye, responded with three buildings for the survey, all three buildings were measured, interviewed for two of the buildings (the firm did not design the third building themselves). FirmD Mechanical engineering firm, responded to the survey although with diffculties due to the building type, responded with three buildings for the survey, all three buildings were measured, interviewed for two buildings (the firm did not design the third building) FirmE Mechanical engineering firm, attempted to respond to the survey, but failed to respond due to the building type requirement. The firm agreed to participate in the monitoring (their offce building) although they did not design the building. FirmF Mechanical engineering firm, attempted to respond to the survey, but failed to respond due to the building tye requirement. FirmG HVAC contractor firm, agreed to participate, but since they did not do any design work, they could not provide any data. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 27 3.4 The survey result Table 3.2 shows the results of the survey. The range of the RTU capacity is from 275 ft2/ton to 488 ft2/ton. Depending on which rules ofthumb, the numbers range from slightly oversized to righsized. The three entries with capacity above 700 felton are not used (highlighted in grey in the table), because they are installed in the building with many unconditioned areas, and the firm does not have the data on the total unconditioned areas. Also excluded were buildings with missing data (highlighted in yellow). These are the entres where the firm submitted the names of the buildings but later could not find the relevant information for various reasons.

Again, this depends on which rules of thumb we use to determine the degree of oversizing. The average ft/ton for each firm does not suggest a large variation among firms (348, 378, 363 ft2/ton for Firms A, B and C). For Firm A (who submitted the survey without any missing data), there is no significant variation between old buildings and new buildings (361 and 322 felton for old and new buildings) despite increased pedormance standards in energy codes. The new buildings have slightly more capacity than the old buildings, although this cannot be concluded as a trend due to the small sample size. Of the three buildings with a capacity less than 300 felton, two are 'old' buildings and one is a 'new' building. 3.5 The interviews The interviews were carred out with three firms for a total of five buildings (see Table 3.3). The data from three buildings (highlighted in grey) cannot be collected in the interview. Firm B could not collect all the data necessary for the interview for Building E, so we could not complete the interview for this building. Buildings G and H are the offce spaces for Firms Band D respectively, and the firms allowed us to measure the RTU even though the firms did not design the HVAC systems for these two buildings. Table 3.3 The Firms and the measured buildings Firm Building Building A Building B Building C Building D FirmC FirmC FirmA FirmA Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 29 The interviews were carred out after the data from the measurement had been compiled so that these preliminary results could be discussed durig the interview. The interview questions and their corresponding responses are compiled in Appendix A.3. The main objective of the interview was to discuss the design process and tr to identify the factors that lead to system sizing. The results are presented in two forms: 1. Individual responses to the questions are discussed in terms of their potential contribution to to oversizing in the 2. Qualitative analysis of the responses are presented Section 3.6 Lessons Learned: Factors contributing to oversizing 3.6.1 Generous Level of Internal Load Occupancy load: the default policy for the mechanical engineers interviewed is to wait for the architect to provide a schedule for occupancy. We found a great over-estimate in occupancy load for the 'old' buildings. There was certainly a trend towards "head-count" for the design occupancy load for office spaces, especially for the 'new' buildings. However, there is only one firm who set the occupancy load based on the workstation count. This firm also said that for retail area they wil use the net area instead of the gross area to calculate the occupancy load, and then use a 50% diversity factor. Equipment (plug) load: The equipment load was assumed to be high, up to 1.25 W Ift2. A previous study found (Komor 1997) that even 1 W Iff is at the high end of the normal range, and values above 1 W Ift2 are only found in less than 5% of the total areas studied. Typically the equipment load was determined on a per area basis, and we found only one firm who set the equipment load at a per workstation basis. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 30 Lighting load: usually set to the code requirement. The comparson between the 'old' and the 'new' buildings are a significant contrast since the old buildings were sized prior to energy codes. One of the old buildings listed upwards of 2 W Ift2 for lighting, while new buildings were typically closer to 1 Wife. 3.6.2 Shading is not included We found that engineers tyically excluded all building shading during the sizing calculation, even external fixed shading. There is no argument for this practice other than a safety precaution in case the shading was taken away by the building owner at a later date. This is one of the major source of oversizing in our research. 3.6.3 Safety factor As indicated in the literature review section, safety factors are commonly the focus of the oversizing problem. Nobody has the exact number as what safety factor ishould be included on top of the peak cooling load in determining the size ofaRTU. The firms inteviewed discussed this problem. The general practice is to add a certain safety factor before selecting the RTU unit. Often, selecting the next available unit size for purchase involves gross oversizing. One firm has a practice to select the next available smaller unit, provided that the downsizing is within a certain safety limit. The firm did not specify what safety limit was used for these downsizing selections. One firm has a policy to not oversize at the end of the calculation because assumptions involved in the calculations have already had a built-in safety factor. This firm also has a policy to downsize for retail spaces because of: i. diversity factor (of the cooling load). 2. interaction with other system; the cooling load for the space can be satisfied by other RTUs serving the building. 3.6.4 Communication with architect or other designers Oversizing can happen because of communication problems. The sizing of mechanical systems runs in parallel with other design work, including cost estimation and often 'value engineering'. Building shading or advanced lighting control systems could be removed and result in system under-sizing and are therefore sometimes left out of sizing calculations. Furthermore, the decision to use high-performance windows, for example, might come too late in the design process, well after systems have been sized and specified. The Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 31 sizing of mechanical system has long been completed using the worst case scenario, i.e. using low performance windows and the lowest common denominator for other system choices. This practice wil inherently lead to a significant oversizing in terms of AC capacity.

Almost all of the RTUs were small, tyically less than 10 ton. Two RTUs were 10 tons or larger but these had two compressors so it can be considered to have two small compressors. The EERs were between 8 to 11.

The measurement was stopped once we recorded a set of data with OAT of at least 94 oF. Some buildings have data for multiple days, either because the measurement began on a relatively cool day, or simply because the next building was not available once we recorded the peak conditions required.

Some of the compressors were measured using a status monitoring sensor, which reported only the ON/OFF status. The following sections describes a complete example of how the data were analyzed in order to determine the oversizing of each RTU. 4.2.2 Data Analysis From different parameters discussed earlier (see Section 2.6), this study uses the Nmax and the PLR as the signatue of the oversizing. Both parameters are calculated from the measurement data. 4.2.2.1 The maximum cycling rate Ninax is calculated based on the cycling data. Figure 4.1 shows the measurement data for Building A. The outdoor temperatue during the measurement reached 100 of, which is higher than the design day temperature for Boise. These data show that the compressor is cycling during a very hot day, a clear sign of oversizing.

This is empirical data that can only be found from previous studies. Henderson et. al. (1991) used 80 seconds. Another study (H Henderson et al. 2000) uses 60 seconds for "typical AC" and 30 seconds for "good AC". Table 4.5 show the PLR for Building A. The PLR shows the degree of oversizing. The maximum PLR is 0.2 (with 1;=60 sec). Considering that PLR shows the building load (see equation 4 on page 16), and that the measurement was carred out on a peak cooling day, then the capacity of the RTU is about 5 times greater than peak load, or 400% oversized.

Ess Steady state RTU input power (in W or Btu) To calculate the energy penalty, the same amount of energy should be delivered by the existing compressor during steady-state (the bottom graph in Figure 4.3 with q2 equals qi).

The rightsized capacity is calculated based on the peak load. Once the nghtsized capacity has been calculated, the input power can also be calculated by assuming the same EER for the RTU. The rightsized input power wil then be compared to the installed input power to determine the peak demand penalty.. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 43 The peak cooling load of the building can be calculated by using the following equation: Building Cooling Load=PLRXQi (25) where: PLR Qi = Part-load ratio = RTU total capacity (in W or Btu) Since the measurement was carred out on a peak cooling day, the measured cooling load represents the peak cooling load. The rightsized capacity of the RTU is set to be the same as the peak cooling load. Q2=PeakCooling Load (26) where: Q2 = Rightsized RTU total capacity (in W or Btu) The degree of oversizing can be calculated by using the following equation: O .. D Qi 1versizing r actor = -Q - 2 (27) The input power for the rightsized capacity can then be calculated by assuming the same EER: E = Q22 EER (28) Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 44 where: E2 = Q2 = EER = input power for the rightsized RTU (in W or Btu/h) Rightsized RTU total capacity (in W or Btur) Energy Effciency Ratio of the RTU The peak demand penalty can be expressed in terms of percentage, or it can be expressed in terms ofkW per ton. Peak demand penalty = E 1- E 2 (29) Or, E¡-E2 Peak demand penalty = Q¡ (30) Where: Ei E2 Qi input power for the oversized RTU (in W or Btu) input power for the rightsized RTU (in W or Btuhr) = RTU total capacity (in ton) Table 4.9 shows the peak demand penalty calculation (assuming t=60 sec). The maximum "rightsized" capacity is 12,416 Btu, which makes the RTU (at 4 ton capacity) around 200% oversized. The peak demand penalty is around 3.5 kW or about 0.89 kW/ton. Table 4.10 shows the peak demand penalty calculation (assuming t=30 sec). The maximum "rightsized" capacity is 13,448 Btu, which makes the RTU (at 4 ton capacity) around 156% oversized.

The results have been summarzed for all measurement days, except for Building H where daily results are presented to highlight how the staging of the two compressors work. Building E RTU-6 that also has two compressors is assumed to have only one. The RTF of the second compressor is so low that it is assumed to have never cycled during the measurement period (see Appendix 8.3.6). Table 4.11 shows how the measurement data is presented.

The average cycling rate is the average from the actual data. The maximum cycling rate is the result of the curve fit based on the measurement data. The RTF presented below is the maximum RTF from the measurement data. The maximum cycling rate and the maximum RTF indicate the performance of the compressor during the design day. The maximum cycling rate is high for most buildings, too high compared to other values found in the literature.ß~eciøÎI~r;,l"~~,~;;il~ The desired combination is to have a low maximum cycling rate and high RTF. The opposite combination is a sign of oversizing.

Buildings A has the lowest RTF and relatively high cycling rate. Buildings C, D and E have a very high cycling rate, too high compared to the values reported by previous studies. Building H shows relatively good pedormance (low cycling rate and RTF more than 0.5). However, the data for Building H only represents a single compressor of a dual compressor system. The single compressor has shown some degree of oversizing. Therefore if we consider both compressors the system is further oversized. 4.3.2 Part-load ratio Table 4.13 shows the PLR and the average EER, which is the degraded EER due to cycling. The values of the maximum cycling rate and the RTF is also shown in the same table to show the correlation between these two values with the PLR and the EER. The RTUs with the right combination of cycling rate and RTF (low cycling rate and high RTF) have a high PLR, which means the compressors in these RTUs run at or almost at full capacity (see Buildings F, G and also B). This also means that these RTUs have very low EER degradation. On the other hand, RTUs with high cycling rates and low RTF wil have low PLR, and high EER degradation.

To achieve that objective, the simulation assumed two scenarios for comparison; (1) 'existing size scenario' and (2) 'rightsized scenario'. To establish the first scenario, the first stage of simulation involved the calibration of the simulation settings to ensure that the 'existing size scenario' simulation represents the existing condition as monitored on site. The calibration stage compares the RTF between the existing simulation and the onsite measurement results. If the RTF was comparable, then the simulation settings were assumed to be accurate enough. The two scenarios were simulated for the whole cooling season and the cooling energy consumption was compared. 5.2 Simulation settings 5.2.1 Building A 5.2.1.1 Description The simulated space is one thermal zone served by a single RTU. The zone has three rooms: a conference room, a offce space, and a storage room. The zone is located in the northwest par of the building, with its north and western walls exposed to external environment. The zone has a flat roof. Figue 5.1 shows the simulated zone modeled in EnergyPlus. Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrted Design Lab-Boise (Report #20090208-01)Page 52 Figure 5.1 The simulated zone in Building A 5.2.1.2 Construction External walls are made up of 5/8" gysum board on either side, with R -19 insulation. The concrete floor is placed above the ground surface. The roof is a concrete mass with R-30 insulation. The glazing area is located in the north wall (area=252 ft2, WWR=17%) and the west wall (area=784 ft, WWR=9%). A double-pane window is used with thermal properties of glazing set as built (SC=0.81 and U-value=0.59). 5.2.1.3 Internal gains Table 5.1 shows the internal gains used in the simulation. These values were obtained from the interviews.

There are five curves used to describe the performance ofthe RTU. For this Rightsizing of Rooftop HVAC Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090208-01)Page 53 simulation we used custom curves based on the manufacturer data (see Figure 5.2 and Figue 5.3).

This information was to be used in several ways. First, IPC was interested in using the data to target specific opportunities for building efficiency improvements with their clients. Second, the data would also provide additional baseline energy use information to supplement information such as the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) conducted every three years by the United State Energy Information Agency (EIA). The data in the CBECS database is rather sparse for several building types in Idaho, creating the need for more region specific information. This wil be useful for budget planning or energy model calibration to anyone planning a new building of a similar type in a similar geographic region in Idaho. Third, several of the buildings were selected because the IDL or IPC has detailed information and knowledge about the building and the types of systems installed. Gatheringtotal energy use information about these buildings in particular is useful for any future design project for similar reasons as described above. This report provides detailed energy use data of 115 buildings in Idaho for the period of 2006-2009. Energy use data for all fuel sources was collected for ten different building types in five separate geographical zones. General building information including square footage, hours of operation, and average number of occupants (when applicable). Additionally, address and contact information was gathered for each building in addition to energy use and geographical region. In order to gather energy use data, it was first necessary to obtain permission from a building owner or manager. We requested that the building owner or manager sign an energy consumption data release form for each fuel type used by the building. These were then submitted to the fuel provider (utilty) and the data was returned for the period requested. Ideally, three years of historical data were averaged together to form the overall energy use profile for the buildings in the study. Next, we created a database that could effectively track and easily display all the energy consumption data for each building and generate various reports for both individual buildings and comparative analysis. The data was analyzed and a report for each building was generated (Appendix D). All 115 buildings were also plotted from highest tö lowest total energy use in Section 3.2.1 and by electric use in Section 3.2.2. Additional analyses are reported in Section 3.2 that were conducted to examine building types and geographic regions. Not surprisingly Groceries and Hospitals typically had the highest total energy use; however Recreation and Fitness facilities showed the absolute highest tötal energy use. This is an interesting finding considering that CBECS does not specifically address these types of facilties. Lowest total energy use tended to be Small Office, Retail, and Emergency Services. Looking only at electric use we can see that Groceries tend to dominate the top of the list with Hospitals moving down the chart by comparison due to their high natural gas consumption. Looking at the lowest electric consumption by type, we see that Emergency Services are near the bottom, with Retail moving up to near the middle as compared to the total energy consumption graph. A summary of the maximum, minimum and median for each building type analyzed is included below.

At the outset of the work the IDL created a framework for data collection aimed to sample a wide spectrum of energy use building types. These types included hospitals, health services, groceries, and commercial office buildings. The commercial office type was divided into two separate categories; small offices of less than 20,000 square feet, and large offices of greater than 20,000 square feet. Other building types collected included emergency services, institutional, lodging, recreation/fitness, and retail for a total of ten different building types. The amount and categorization of building types is listed below in Table 2. Table 2 - Building Type and Number Building Type Number of Buildings 13 37 4 3 9 6 9 2 4 28 115 Emergency Services Grocery Health Services Hospital Institutional Large Office Small Office Lodging Recreational/Fitness Retail Total In addition to building type, buildings were targeted to fulfil a geographical distribution across IPC's service area. The zones defined are at a finer resolution than typical climate regions, such as those defined by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the International Code Council (ICC). ASH RAE/ICC only differentiates two climate zones in IPC service territory, Sb or 6b. For this study a more refined designation is made and the zones are divided into Metro (Sb), Mountain (6b), Western (Sb), Southern (Sb), and Eastern (6b). Metro was defined as buildings in the Treasure Valley area. The Mountain zone includes buildings east and north of the Boise area. The Western zone includes all buildings west of the Treasure Valley area proper. The Southern zone is comprised of the area from Mountain Home and east to Burley. Finally the Eastern zone includes buildings east of Burley to the eastern bounds of the IPC service territory. Any buildings outside of IPC's service territory are coded with Out of Service Area zone designation. During the data collection Energy Use Indices of Selected Idaho Buildings; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090202.01)Page 7 of23 we received some buildings as groups by owner, all of which did not fall in the IPC service area. Below, Table 3 shows a list of the zones with the number of buildings in each. Table 3 - Geographic Zones Building Region Metro Mountain Number of Buildings 78 11 2 14 7 3 115 Western Southern Eastern Out of Service Area Total The goal was to obtain 10 buildings for each building type across a variety of geographic zones. Ideally the number and type of building in each zone would be equally distributed. However, this was difficult to achieve for various expected reasons. Additionally, we sought data for buildings that IDl or IPC had previous experience with, so that we would better understand the relationship between building systems and energy use. A long list of potential buildings was assembled and the IDl began a phone campaign to contact building owners and operators to collect permissions to access consumption information from multiple energy providers (utilties). The first step in this process was to create or collect standardized forms to fax or email to the owners and operators which were used to record account numbers and signatures that verified permission and retrieved the consumption data. We collected or created permission forms for all utilties that we encountered and these are included in Appendix B. The permission process proved more time consuming than originally estimated. Many owners were difficult to contact or were slow to return permission forms. We initiated contact via phone until we reached the appropriate person and then followed up via a standard email included in Appendix C. Once received, the permission forms were sent to the utilties and digital consumption records were returned. A summary of all the buildings/individuals contacted and the success rate for the phone campaign is listed in Table 4 below. Although we obtained permissions from 82 people including 172 buildings many, did not fit within the parameters of this study or we were not ultimately able to procure useful consumption data; therefore only 115 are included as indicated above. Table 4 - Building Owners and Operators Contacted Contacted 347 Accepted 82 (179 Buildings) Rejected 48 Multiple calls not returned 217 Energy Use Indices of Selected Idaho Buildings; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design lab-Boise (Report # 20090202-01)Page 8 of 23 Concurrently with the data collection process we built a query-ready database to house consumption data. The database architecture shown in Figure 1 below made analyzing and displaying data relatively easy. The database is built in Microsoft Access and several query reports can be exported to Microsoft Excel to provide flexibility in graphing and charting the data. To calculate the total EUI for each building we ran a report query in Access for each of the buildings' fuel types including but not limited to electricity, natural gas, and geothermaL. Each of these uses then linked to an Excel table that was able to produce high quality graphic representations of the data. All fuel types were converted into kBTU's before being combined and displayed as total energy consumption. Geothermal data gathered for this study came exclusively from Boise City Geothermal and was measured in gallons. In order to include this fuel type as part of the total building energy use we converted the gal.lons into therms using Boise City Geothermal's suggested incoming and outgoing temperature difference of 50°F. Depending on the organization publishing EUI data geothermal use is sometimes omitted entirely. We included it here despite the fact that it is a renewable resource because it stil represents energy used by the building.

Each building report is typically three pages long. The first page of each building report is titled with an independently keyed building number code that allows for the confidential display of building-specific information. Directly below that is basic building data including building type, gross floor area, geographic region, ASH RAE/iee climate zone, number of occupants (if applicable), operational hours, and a comments section. Page one also contains the total electrical use by month and year for the date range of data collected (typically 2006-2009). The monthly electric consumption numbers are averaged and reported in kWh and kBTUs. Missing data is not included in the averaging. The annual average electric consumption was divided by the gross floor area to give the electrical energy use intensity per square foot per year. There are two charts on the first page; one shows monthly use per year and the other shows average monthly use over the date range. Page two depicts the natural gas consumption in a similar fashion. As appropriate, other types of energy use (such as geothermal) are included on the second page as well. The third page shows the monthly average use for each fuel type in kBTUs and also notes the respective per square foot per year intensities for each fuel type. A total combined energy use per month as well as per year is provided in kBTUs. There are two charts on page three; the stacked bar chart shows average energy use by type (in kBTUs) and the pie chart shows the distribution of annual average energy use by type. Finally, at the bottom of the third page, the building ID number is restated with the total energy use in kBTU per square foot per year (EUI). The 2003 eBEeS national average for the appropriate building type and the Architecture 2030 challenge 2010 target of 60% reduction below eBEes 2003 average are all provided for building performance evaluation. 3.2.1 TOTAL ENERGY INTENSITY OF BUILDINGS The charts below represent the total energy use of the buildings from Appendix A. Seen below is a comparison of use for all buildings, listing building type and reference building number for each. Additionally a breakdown of use by building type follows the first graph including reference building number and the location by region as defined above.

Introduction Background and Objectives The objective ofthis data collection effort was to augment the results of2oo3 Commercial Building Stock Assessment (æSA), a regional database of connrciai building characteritics, with additional buildings in Idaho Power service terrtory. The previous æSA study was conducted in 2003 and centralizd and updated connrc ial building energy audit data across the Northwest region. In 2008, Cadnns was contracted by the Northwest Energy Eficiency Alliance to update the CBSA database and fill in data gaps. As a part of this study, Idaho Power Company (Ie) requested additional audits within the IPC service territory (referred to as "oversample" site visits). This report provides detail on the 2008 IPC overs ample data collection effort and characteris the connrcial building stock in Idaho Power service terrtory using the oversample data in conjunction with data from the main CBSA database and other regional studies. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for current planning, forecasting, and program development initiatives by Idaho Power. Study Approach Sample Distribution The results reported in this summry inc lude the overs ample of approximately 50 buildings and data from other studies including approximately 140 buildings from the 2003 CBSA study and other auxiliary data collection efforts; Table 1 provides an overview ofthe data sources. Because auxiliary data collection activities such as the new construction study and supplemental site visits for the 1998-2000 cohort provided adequate data for newer buildings, only buildings constructed before 1995 were included in the oversample.

To build a sample frme, Cadmus classified accounts into building type categories (see Table 2) by NAICS code and screened for vintage, including only buildings built before 1995 the sample. The building type sample distribution was determined by the percentage of electric usage (kWh) used by each building type in Idaho Power's service terrtory. Within each building type, buildings were sorted into quartiles based on the annual electricity (kWh) consumption. This distnbution was also compared to the existing æSA sample distnbution to determine which building types and quartiles were underrepresented. Offices, schools, and retail make up the largest part of the commrcial electricity load and thus, had the highest site visit targets. Site visit targets were distnbuted proportionately to the population distribution across the quartiles, shown in Table 2. Buildings were randomly selected from the screened customer database for each quartile. Table 2.

TTIF:Commercial Building Stock Assessment - Idaho Power Company 4 4CADMUS Sample Recruitment and Data Collection Given the dated and oftn incorrect contact information in the sample frame, it was necessaiy to design recruitment and schedulig procedures which would reach as many sites as possible. Project staff called contacts at the commercial buildings listed in the sample frame to recruit buildings for in-person audits. In cases where contact informtion was wrong or unavailble, staffperformd Internet research to determe the correct information. Once the targeted number of site vis its for a given quartile and building type were recruited, the callers moved forward with recruitment of other quartiles or building types. Schools were recruited at the district level, and district-wide operations managers generally coordinated site visits with rrltiple schools in their district. After a building had comiitted to participate, an auditor followed up and scheduled a specific on-site audit tim. During the walk-through, the auditor collected informtion on square footage, building use and general characteristics, HVAC systems, lighting, envelope, and refrgeration (if applicable). The site visit data collection instrument is attached as AppendixA. Recruited contacts were uploaded into a Web database designed for organizg and trackig data collection from site visits. The web database mirored the field data collection instrument and auditors could access the database in the field and input informtion. Recruitment began August 2008 and concluded October 2008. Auditors conducted site visits from September 2008 through December 2008. Case Weights Case weights for the Idaho Power sample were defied as the population annual usage divided by the sample annual usage. The weighting was performd at the followig levels: building type, and two cohort (pre 1994, 1995-2007). Table 4 provides a surrry ofthe rounded case weights applied to the sample.

Inside Back Cover 3 Executive Summary on first- factors aggregated building. G reen building practices use environmentally friendly materials or systems applied in a holistic and integrated approach to design and construction. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one rating system and one of only two (Green Globes being the other) that have been developed by agencies accredited by the American National Standards Institute (PRNewswire-USNewswire). The large body of research that exists on LEED-certified buildings makes LEED a useful frame of reference to understand more about green building in general as well as LEED-certified buildings specifically. Research reveals that on some green or LEED- certified development projects the upfront costs may be higher (i-flAi) but not nearly as high as anecdotal evidence (30%) suggests. Being selective about the sustainable design criteria and features used in a building can keep construction within budget and produce greater long-term energy conservation. Incorporating green building techniques from the inception of a project, and in a holistic manner, can reduce costs as well as further assure benefits will be used and realized by owner and tenants alike. Familiarity with green building standards provides greater understanding of costs and benefits, lessening resistance to green building. Education for builders, owners, and tenants wil go a long way to encourage green building. Data drawn from focus groups conducted in Boise, Idaho and surveys with cities in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) reveal healthier buildings and social responsibilty are currently the biggest incentives for encouraging developers to engage in green building practices, and with their perspectives communities, in over 300 one of the largest - sector on while costs and uncertainty about return on investment are the biggest barriers. Cities wanting to address the biggest barriers see financial incentives as the key to promoting green building in the short term. Over the long haul, cities see education about the benefits and practices of green building as essential to ensuring the desired return on the investment and meeting comn;unity goals- a perspective shared by developers. This paper recommends several best practices identified from a review of research and interviews conducted for this report, as well as from the new empirical evidence gathered here. The strategies that follow may be appropriate for communities in the Pacific Northwest interested in promoting and supporting green building practices. The recommendations fall into four broad categories that involve providing: ~ Marketing to increase public demand for green building ~ Policies and processes to support financial payback for developers ~ Information, demonstrations, and training to encourage the adoption of green building ~ Support for current users of green building and LEED certification to continue their use and advocacy of green building Although the bulk of the leadership for the recommendations falls on the cities, success in meeting green building goals wil be best accomplished through public and private partnerships that enable both cities and developers to initiate and advance green building practices. 3€ 5 Buildings generate about 2 millon metric tons of C02 equivalent per year. 6 An automobile with gas mileage of 19-20 miles per gallon generates about 1.5 metric tons of C02 equivalent per year. Statement of the Problem gas emissions from commercial buildings are at arate either transportation or residential are grappling with making their communties more sustainable. In Idaho, one communities are tackling this problem is the Department Regional Offce in Boise, which was recently awarded a "gold" Green Building Cmmdl for reducing environmental square-foot \\ e continue to take steps to assess and reduce our environmental impact," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki said. "Ensuring the sustainability of our facilities across the country helps us accomplish our primary mission - serving veterans." (PRNewswire- USNewswiref). How does meeting green building standards ensure sustainability? Or more plainly, why should we care about building emissions? Carbon Figure 1 dioxide is, by far, the most prolific component of all greenhouse gas emissions, specifically accounting for 6,021 milion of the 7,282 millon of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCDE) generated in the u.s. in 2007 - more than 80 percent of the green house gas emissions (U.s. Energy Information Administration (EIA), 2009).1 And residential and commercial buildings combine to account for 40 percent of all energy consumption and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions annually, making them an obvious focus of greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts. Transportation and industry are the other major sectors of energy use, but neither contributes as much as buildings to greenhouse gas emissions (EIA, 2009). While, there is no "average" building to allow for comparisons, one way to think about the issue is by using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates, which say that burning one gallon of gasoline generates about 19.4 pounds of C02. By 1 Energy use accunted for 5,917 MTCDE of the 6,021 MTCDE gener- ated in 2007 (EIA, 2009) converting that to miles per gallon, we can estimate that an automobile with gas mileage of 19-20 miles per gallon generates about one pound of C02 equivalent per mile. Using that comparison, the average person generates 1.5 metric tons of C02 per vehicle annually (U.s. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2009). In comparison, the amount of C02 buildings generate can be sobering. Each year since 2001, buildings have generated approximately 2 milion metric tons of C02 equivalent (EIAb, 2009). And it's a growing problem - emissions from commercial buildings are accelerating at a faster average annual rate (1.8 percent from 1990 to 2008) than either transportation or residential building emissions 1.4 percent) (EIAc 2009).2 As noted in the recent news about the VA regional offce in Boise, 'sustainability' refers to development that meets current needs without compromising the environment of future generations" (PRNewswire-USNewswire/). To that end, more than 900 city mayors to date have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in their communities by 7 percent or more below 1990 levels by 2012 (U.s. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, 2009). The agreement lists a dozen strategies to help communities reach this goal, including: ~ Practicing and promoting sustainable building practices by using USGBC LEED certification program or similar programs ~ Providing education about reducing global warming pollution 'The commercial sector includes schools, offæ building, and shopping malls. ~ Adopting land-use policies that reduce sprawl ~ Making energy effciency a priority through building codes ~ Retrofitting lighting ~ Conserving by increasing water- and wastewater-pump effciency Even as awareness about climate change grows and more mayors sign on to climate change agreements, a ground swell of change has been slow to take shape. There are communities making great strides, such as Seattle and Portland, but these cases tend to be the outliers and not yet the norm. Concern that the current goals of the agreement may not be met is reaL. And the persistence ofthe sluggish economy, one of the worst downturns in generations, fuels these concerns. Stil, whether good times or bad, meeting climate change goals and the growing interest in green building as a construction industry practice makes it is worth examining what works in local communities. To that end, this report seeks to provide: ~ A history of green building rating standards ~ Current research on LEED - one of the most widely used green building standards ~ New data drawn from cities and construction industry members specifically for this study ~ An analysis of the data and recommendations for next steps in light of what is already known and in conjunction with the findings from this original research. 3: 7 The Emergence of Green Building and Rating Systems Almost day, in every major news outlet, there is some a new green building. But there are still many people a building green. This section talks about the construction, the of green design, we at todayfs standards lEED rating Aiayperson might say that a green building uses environmentally-friendly materials or systems, or perhaps that the developer incorporated processes to reduce resource consumption during construction. Though these are important characteristics, perhaps the most powerful aspect of a green design in the built environment is that practitioners apply a holistic and integrated approach to design and construction. And though we may have veered from such approaches in recent history, the concept actually dates back thousands of years to the origin ofthe master builder. Most of civilization's signifcant works of architecture, from the pyramids of Egypt to the classic cathedrals of Europe, were designed and built by the master builder (Dinsmore, 2007). These builder-architect had a far-reaching view of the entire building from design through construction and lifetime operations, incorporating functional passive designs for heating, cooling and lighting. Today, these effcient, passive design features, which consider climatic setting and solar orientation, are mainstays of what is considered to be green building, and achievements feature strongly in today's green building rating schemes. Long before the 20th century however, the master builder had all but disappeared, replaced by designer-artists who received architectural commissions but had little understanding of the building arts. As the separation of architectural design and construction became more distinct, a new business enterprise emerged - that of the general building contractor (Dinsmore, 2007). Starting in the 1930S, the availability in the u.s. of cheap fossil fuels spurred the development of glass-and-steel structures that could be heated and cooled with massive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (GreenBuilding.com, 2007). New building technologies, including air conditioning, low-wattage fluorescent lighting, structural steel, and reflective glass allowed architects, developers and general contractors to eschew the time-tested methods of the master builders, in favor of these energy intensive technologies. Green Building and Rating Systems 3,000 B.C. to 2009 A.D. 8 By the 1970S, suburban development based on these technologies was rampant and some forward-thinking architects, environmentalists, and ecologists began to question the advisabilty of such energy intensive building practices. But it was the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 spiking gasoline prices, and lines at gas stations that finally caught the attention of the American public and called into question the nation's heavy reliance on fossil fuels for transportation and buildings (Building Design & Construction, 2003). Stil, it would be another two decades before the EPA and the u.s Department of Energy would launch the ENERGY STAR program and the City of Austin, Texas would introduce the first local green building program. In 1993, President Clinton introduced the "Greening of the White House" initiative. Through the collaboration of environmentalists, design professionals, engineers, and government offcials, numerous off-the-shelf improvements led to $300,000 in annual energy and water savings, and reductions in landscaping expenses, waste management costs, and carbon emissions at the executive mansion (Building Design & Construction, 2003). The success of this landmark effort led to a flurry of federal greening projects and gave new life to the sustainable building movement. At the same time, the efforts by professionals from a variety of public and private companies, organizations and agencies (including the American Institute of Architects, the Rocky Mountain Institute, the Carrier Corporation, Herman Miller Inc., the Department of Energy, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, along with many others) led to the development ofthe u.s Green Building Council (USGBC), which was offcially founded in 1993. After considering and rejecting a variety of building rating models, including the one that had been developed by the City of Austin, the USGBC membership approved the first version of LEED certification requirements in 1998, drafted a reference guide, and launched a pilot program. Since its inception, the LEED rating system has undergone various iterations. A key characteristic of LEED is its evolution through a consensus- based process led by volunteer committees. Over the years, it has changed to consider regional effects and the life cycle analysis of building materials. Launched on April 27, 2009, the third version of LEED (LEED 2009) retains the fundamental structure of the previous versions, but provides avenues for incorporating new technologies and prioritizes energy use and C02 emissions. LEED 2009 incorporates five separate commercial and institutional building rating systems: new construction, core and shell, commercial interiors, existing buildings, operations and maintenance, and schools. Other LEED rating systems exist for homes, neighborhood development, retail, and healthcare. There are currently 35,000 projects participating in the LEED system, comprising over 4.5 billon square feet of construction space in all 50 states and 91 countries (U.S. Green Building Council, 2010). :i 9 10 What Is Really Known About the Pros and Cons of Green Building? - Research Evidence green building and more There has been a great - about green building. Thatimpact onto conserve energy Evidence while discussion areas fall into the one separate fiction? is a LEED-certified buildings (as opposed to using green guidelines), so section pros and cons or that within Costs The U.s. development community largely retains the perception that new or retrofitted LEED-certified green buildings cost more than conventionally constructed buildings. Though there can be real and perceived first cost premiums, many building owners - particularly in the public sector - are realizing long- term savings in lower operating and maintenance costs as well as in the significant costs associated with personnel or tenant attraction, retention and productivity. First Costs One of the biggest obstacles to adopting green building practices in general, and LEED certification specifically, is a perception that those buildings wil cost more to construct. Peter Morris and David Langdon's 2007 article "What Does Green Really Cost?" asserts: The most common reason cited in studies for not including green elements into building designs is the increase in first cost. People who are green averse are happy to relate anecdotes of premiums in excess of 30% to make their buildings green. The numbers are simply not, however, borne out by the facts, as evidenced by many studies of the cost of green building. Even though there is no one-size-fits- all answer to the cost question, it is clear from the the effects -and more has coincided substantial weight of evidence in the marketplace that reasonable levels of sustainable design can be incorporated into most building types at little or no additional cost (Morris & Langdon, 2007, p. 55). The USGBC in a 2002 National Trends for High- Performance Green Buildings report chimed in on this issue as well, citing the importance of evaluating the costs of a building's life cycle, rather than looking only at first costs. They concluded: Of the total expenditures an owner will make over the span of a building's service lifetime, design and construction expenditures, the so-called "first costs" of a facility, account for just 5-10 percent. In contrast, operations and maintenance costs account for 60-80 percent of the total life-cycle costs. Unfortunately, decision-makers rarely use life cycle cost analysis to link capital and operating expenses. Therefore, energy savings, decreased worker absenteeism, and higher productivity are not universally accounted for in the cost equation (USGBC, 2002, p. 17). However, that same study admitted that there were still real and perceived higher first costs associated with incorporating green design features: While many green buildings are designed and constructed at comparable or even lower costs than conventional buildings, environmental performance features can add costs to design and construction expenditures. According to green building professionals, such initial cost increases generally 11 12 range from an average of 2 to 7 percent, depending on the design and extent of added features (USGBC, 2002, p. 17). Yudelson, (2007) found that "28% of survey respondents thought that green building carried a four percent or more cost premium" (p. 10). In the same study, 48 percent of respondents cited perceived cost increases as the biggest barrier to green building, and 40 percent perceived that they had not received an adequate amount of publicity or new business for their decision to build green (Yudelson, 2007, p. 11). We can speculate that this may be more of an obstacle in the United States where the development model shows a tendency to develop a building and then sell it shortly after construction. In this approach, developers seek to minimize short-term construction costs up front because they intend to sell the building immediately. This short tumaround sales model means that developers themselves do not enjoy the longer-term building effciencies resulting from lower operating and maintenance costs, and thus are not motivated to incorporate green design features that provide long-term cost savings. Longer-term Cost Savings and Profitability Counter to the short-term development model, the U.S. developer in the public sector who owns and maintains a new building is in a position to realize the lower operating and maintenance costs that can result from building green. In addition, the more holistic approach that LEED certification promotes results in other significant - but less acknowledged - cost benefits as welL. For example, one California study looked at the economic impact of green building policies at a university. The authors found that the university already employed many sustainable practices in the construction of its buildings although the practices varied widely from project to project. The university's main reason for adopting green building practices was to offset the projected future increases in electrical consumption and energy rates. To evaluate future impacts, the university chose to take a systems approach to green building, extending the time frame against which it measured economic costs and benefits. The report recommended that the university's policy include a requirement that "campus design standards incorporate a minimum number of sustainability attributes such that all new buildings wil achieve the equivalent of a certified rating using the LEED system" (Bade, 2003, p. 4). To achieve this goal, the study recommended that the university include performance measures in the project- programming and budget-setting processes (Bade, 2003). At the time the report was published there was "no mandate to document the costs of specific design features meant to achieve green ratings. Therefore, there are no comprehensive data reflective of the probable cost of specific green measures" (Bade, 2003, p. 16). However, there was evidence to suggest that the university could achieve LEED certification without increasing current standard building budgets. The greatest initial capital expenses are related to energy effciency and water conservation. A cost review by Langdon in 2007 was quite thorough. This study was notable because it not only included hundreds of buildings, but also because it took the unusual step of categorizing results by building type. As a result, the study allows readers to compare costs for academic buildings, library buildings, laboratory buildings, community centers, and ambulatory care facilities. Perhaps more importantly, the study evaluated costs associated with each of the LEED credit areas, thus allowing developers to filter for potentially expensive credits early in the design process. In a 2008 study, Lockwood also evaluated commercial retrofit costs. In his report, he asserts that: A growing number of companies are implementing green retrofits of their buildings to save money, improve productivity, lower absenteeism and healthcare costs, strengthen employee attraction and retention, and improve their corporate sustainability reports and brand equity - all at a relatively modest cost. However, timing is important for companies seeking to use green retrofits as a point of competitive differentiation (Lockwood, 2008, p.i). Lockwood's mention of timing is perhaps an important factor. Innovators in a market usually derive a premium early in the process. For instance, those companies who first produced electronic calculators were able to demand a higher premium until those devices became more commonplace. Ultimately, Lockwood is suggesting that those who are quickerto implement green retrofits on their buildings may have the advantage of better competitive differentiation with corresponding rewards. Yet another study looked at the incremental cost savings of Enterprise Green Communities Criteria, an investment capital and development organization that devises solutions for affordable housing and community revitalization (Bourland, 2009). As an organization, Enterprise has invested more than $10 bilion since 1982 to help finance more than 250,000 affordable homes in communities nationwide. Enterprise Green Communities Criteria requires housing developers to implement mandatory as well as a required number of optional criteria. This study found that: When considering the benefits revealed in our study, the average cost per dwelling unit to incorporate the energy and water criteria was $1,917, returning $4,851 in predicted lifetime utility cost savings (discounted to 2009 dollars). In other words, the energy and water conservation measures not only paid for themselves but also resulted in savings of 2.5 times over the projected lifetime costs. Moreover, water cost savings shared in this report are almost certainly underreported, given that they were unable to obtain complete data on sewer fee savings, which are a direct result of water-conservation measures (Bourland, p. 3, 2009). Another long-term factor to consider is that some costs associated with green building appear to be tied to a learning curve. Once expertise with green building practices and the certification standards are developed, costs may go down. However, the learning curve can present a significant barrier on its own. While green developers can make real gains in 13 14 increasing short-term profits by carefully evaluating and selecting LEED credit areas that will have the maximum return, they may also find ready financial arguments to avoid green building practices due to the burden associated with learning something new. Balancing Short- and Long-term Interest According to Langdon, "Many project are achieving LEED certification within their budgets, and in the same cost range as non-LEED projects" (Langdon, 2007, p. 3). Costs are related to but separate from benefits. Many benefits derived from green building practices do not appear on short-term ledgers, but developers and owners may be able to realize them during the lifetime of the home or commercial building. What the trend toward long-term gains from green building does suggest is that those operating buildings over the long term can expect to see greater gains. Typically, these types of owners- federal, state, and local governments, as well as other long-lived institutions - may see the greatest return on investment. Also, developers relying on short-term sales models can actively market such benefits to potential owners - owners who may be very interested in long-term operating effciencies once they are made aware of them - to help offet any additional first costs. From another perspective, Langdon suggests that, "in many areas of the country, the contracting community has embraced sustainable design, and no longer sees sustainable design requirements as additional burdens to be priced in their bids" (Langdon, 2007, p. 3). Building Performance A key reason that project personnel adopt LEED standards and pursue LEED certification is to realize potential energy savings in the building's day-to-day operational costs. While it appears that green building practices do indeed provide some energy conservation savings, the case that LEED certification directly correlates with energy savings is not yet water-tight. In fact, actual energy savings in some LEED-certified buildings have been disappointing. This may be due, in part, to the nature of LEED certification itself. Some building designers pursue LEED certification specifically to gain maximum energy savings. However, it is feasible for project personnel to deemphasize the pursuit of energy effciency and gain LEED certification by instead emphasizing the pursuit of credits in site selection, water use or other areas. That said, even when builders do seek to achieve increased energy effciencies in their buildings, they may not always reach intended conservation levels. To study this issue, the USGBC has started to require all new LEED buildings to collect operating data after construction in an effort to connect the anticipated effciencies to the building's day-to-day operational costs. In short, while there is some solid evidence that those green building projects that include a focus on energy effciency do provide energy savings, researchers continue to gather evidence. Human Performance A developer who can realize at least a minimal financial gain may find additional incentives to pursue green building design and development by examining externalized costs that are traditionally overlooked. What are some of the real costs of not including green building strategies into the design of future buildings on the people who work in those buildings? And what can the developer adhering to a short-term sales model do to'draw attention to these benefits in a way that offsets first tosts? It is certainly feasible to promote the "greater good" of your community while maintaining profitability. Watson (2008, p. 10) asserts that ''the construction and operation of buildings requires more energy than any other human activity. The International Energy Agency estimated in 2006 that buildings used 40 percent of primary energy consumed globally, accounting for nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions." In addition to cost and benefit comparisons and energy savings related to building performance, green building has other direct and indirect economic benefits including occupant satisfaction and improvements in employee productivity, performance and retention (Bade, 2003). "Salaries represent approximately 90 percent of the money flow through a building, the rest being amortized construction costs, operations and maintenance, including utilities" (Watson, 2008, p. 14). While developers typically have less of a stake in employee productivity within a building, this suggests a powerful marketing point developers can make with potential building owners to recoup building costs by increasing the value oftheir building. There is relatively strong evidence that building characteristics and indoor environments significantly influence the occurrence of communicable respiratory ilness, allergy and asthma symptoms, sick building symptoms, and worker performance. Smith (2003) reports: An increase of 1 percent in productivity (measured by production rate, production quality, or absenteeism) can provide savings to a facility that exceeds its entire energy bilL. It is easy to see why this is the case by comparing the relative operating costs for commercial business. On average, annualized costs for personnel amount to $200 per square foot - compared with $20 per square foot for bricks and mortar and $2 per square foot for energy. A modest investment in soft features, such as access to pleasant views, increased daylight, fresh air, and personal environment controls, can quickly translate into significant bottom-line savings. Theoretical and limited empirical evidence indicate that existing technologies and procedures can improve indoor environments in a manner that increases health and productivity. Available existing research allows only rough estimates of the magnitude of productivity gains that operators might realize by providing better indoor environments. However, as Fisk (2000) says, "the projected gains are very large. Forthe United States, the estimated potential annual savings plus productivity gains, in 1996 dollars, are approximately $40 billon to $200 bilion."The potential savings and productivity gains are larger than the total estimated cost of energy used in buildings. For the United States, the estimated potential annual savings and productivity gains are $6 to $14 billon from reduced respiratory disease, $1 to $4 bilion from reduced allergies and asthma, $10 to $30 bilion from reduced sick building syndrome symptoms, and $20 to $160 billon from direct improvements in worker performance that are unrelated to health. Judith Heerwagon, in a study she conducted in 2000, suggested that "green buildings can provide both cost reduction benefits and value added benefits. The emphasis to date, however, has been on costs, rather than on benefits. The need for more data on value added benefits underscores the importance of studies that focus on these human and organizational factors." She goes on to say: It is also important to recognize that the benefits of green buildings are more likely to occur when the building and organization are treated as an integrated system from the start. As pointed out by Cole (1999), it is entirely possible to have a "green" building with "gray" occupants due to a lack of systems integration and lack of training on how to use the technologies in the most effcient and effective way. Gray occupants are also more likely to be found in buildings that "green" individual systems rather than the environment as a whole or in buildings which focus primarily on technology to the exclusion of building features that wield their effects through social and psychological mechanisms. And finally it is possible for "gray" organizations to exist in green buildings, thereby passing up significant opportunities for high-level benefits resulting from resource effciency and process innovation throughout the organization (Heerwagon, 2000, p 20). While some ofthe implications on building energy effciency, as a result of the growing knowledge about productivity gains from better indoor environments, are uncertain, one might suppose that quantified and demonstrated productivity gains could spur the development of energy effciency measures that have a positive impact on human performance. A University of California study suggests that the greatest initial capital expenses on green projects relate to achieving higher levels of energy effciency and water conservation. External costs associated with certification systems - most notably high consulting fees - also add significantly to overall project costs. These are costs that the developer normally shoulders, so it should be little surprise that developers resist these added costs. However, as already established, some of the greatest gains from green building come through increased employee productivity, and those gains are realized 1S not by developers, but by the building's tenants. This suggests that, when marketing those buildings to potential tenants, developers and owners can set a premium on indoor environments designed to increase productivity. The result would potentially be a win.win-win situation among developers who may be able to realize premiums from green buildings, owners collecting increased revenues for leased space, and tenants gaining increased effciency and productivity resulting in a significant impact on their organization's bottom line. Building stakeholders are increasingly recognizing the myriad benefits of green buildings beyond energy cost savings. In particular, this trend appears to be driving some ofthe exponential growth in the green building industry in Canada. There is currently a strong business case for green building in Canada that emphasizes a more holistic, longer-term view of real building costs. Developers can further strengthen this business case through focused collection of evidence on the benefits of their buildings and educating building stakeholders about productivity costs they may not be considering. For example: ~ Good daylighting may increase productivity by 13 percent, retail sales by 40 percent, and school test scores by five percent ~ Increased ventilation may increase productivit by four to 17 percent ~ Better quality ventilation can reduce sickness by nine to 50 percent ~ Increased ventilation control may increase productivity by as much as 0.5 to 11 percent From a human performance standpoint, green buildings can offer numerous unique benefits when compared to conventional buildings, and there are strong indications that these benefits substantially outweigh the relatively small increase in construction costs. 16 Performance Measurement Much of the debate over the move toward green building practices has to do with developing a set of standard building performance measures and when to begin measurement. One report concludes that "adding sustainable building measures after the design direction of the project has been established is typically far more expensive than incorporating them from the outset" (Bade, 2003, p. 4). Birt and Newsham (2009) conclude that early generations of green-certified (including but not limited to LEED) commercial buildings now have several years of occupancy behind them and enable us to examine ifthey are living up to expectations. Their paper reviews several of the post-occupancy evaluations that researchers have performed. The problem they ran into was that only a limited number of such evaluations were available in the public domain. This access problem made it more diffcult to draw solid conclusions. However, they tell us that "trends suggest that green buildings on average seem to be delivering reduced energy use, however, a large spread in performance is often observed meaning that individual buildings do not always perform as expected. Occupant satisfaction with some aspects of the indoor environment appears to have improved compared to conventional buildings, but there are areas where expected improvement trends are not realized." Progress in Adopting LEED Standards When evaluating LEED standards adoption, it is worthwhile to examine whether projects that seek LEED certification are actually successful in achieving certification. As of 2008, about six percent of new commercial construction projects applied for LEED certification. Of these applicants, only 25-30 percent ultimately gain certification (Watson, 2008, p. 3). Some projects apparently apply for certification in order to gain access to incentives such as fast tracking on permits without any real intention of following through with certification. Others may intend to follow through with certification but run into obstacles and never achieve final approvaL. Though the high attrition rate is discouraging, it is important to keep in mind that the initial six percent figure looks only at projects specifically pursuing LEED certification. The figure does not encompass projects whose personnel pursue other energy certification, nor those who use green building practices but - for various reasons - choose to avoid certification altogether. Community and Developer Incentives Which green building incentives have proven most effective? The list of potential incentives can be long, but there are a few that seem to have better track records than others. Suggested incentives for cities to promote green building practices among the development community include offering (Watson, 2008): ~Lower utility connection fees ~Accelerated permit approval ~Density bonuses ~Carbon pricing ~Improved building codes ~Construction worker training programs ~Market education However, Yudelson's (2007) survey research concluded that "developers are aware ofthese incentives, but don't always use them. One reason is that the timing of development decisions and the response time of local government don't always mesh together." From the developers' point of view money is important (in the form of tax reductions), but equally - or more important - are: ~ A faster time to market ~ More certainty in the development approval process ~ Additional flexibility to add more space if market conditions warrant (Yudelson, 2007, p. 12)3 Furthermore, 62 percent of respondents said local government incentives are necessary to accelerate green building development. To make these incentives as effective as possible, governments should involve the developers in the discussion about incentive development. Yudelson points out that this is important due to the diverging motivations among the development community. For example: 3 These items were not in a bulleted list in the source document but are displayed in bullets here for ad. ditional clarity. ~ Architects cited marketing/good publicity as the most significant reason to build green ~ Developers cited density bonuses as the most significant reason A Summary of What the Research Tells Us The research offers several conclusions for governments and the development community as summarized in the table below. :l Table 1: Summary of Main Points from Reviewed Research 17 Research Methods and Findings In original research, focus groups and interviews were questions that would provide empirical evidence to better sort out that exist for green building and LEED initiatives. Focus Groups Focus groups were conducted in Boise, Idaho with two key stakeholder parties: city planners and public works professional as well as building developers and owners. The goal was to examine the differences and commonalities in the responses between the focus groups, with the objective of eventually understanding more about the incentives and barriers to green building for both cities and the development community. Focus Group Questions Focus group participants were asked to respond to the following questions within the context of green building practices in general, and then for lEED certification standards specifically: ~ What are the overall factors that encourage green building? ~ What incentives or information encourage the adoption of green building? ~ What are the specific barriers to the adoption of green building practices? ~ What tools or support would encourage you to adopt green building practices? ~ Are there any other things that might impact the adoption of green building practices? Focus Group Methodology An adaptation of nominal group technique is used as an altemative to brainstorming as our process for collecting responses to the above open-ended questions. At the end of the process there is a prioritized list of solutions or recommendations. Specifically, after the conclusion of each focus group, we tabulated the results of the rankings according to the following scheme: 18 to barriers survey Table 2: Ranking Values for Focus Group Responses The points for each factor were then added and talled to come up with the final ranking as shown in the tables following. Focus Group Results To get an initial picture ofthe potential diferences and commonalities of city professionals and building developers, four focus groups were conducted: the first two with city planners and public works personnel, and the second two with developers, construction industry members, and architects. Each type of stakeholder had two separate focus groups. Each group generated their own ideas and rankings. As a result, the ideas (factors) generated by the separate focus groups for each of the questions often do not match exactly. Where they did match exactly, the results were combined. Where there was any significant difference (i.e., "Education" and "Consumer Education") they are left separate. The following tables show responses to each of the questions listed first by highest point value, and second (where points were equal) alphabetically. City Professionals - Question 1: What are the overallfactors that encourage green building? City planners and public works professionals had a broad spread of responses on this question as indicated by the many items with low score totals. As a result, there were fewer factors that stood out Focus Groups - Comparison the public may feed the developers' interagency cooperation and coordination. need for consumer demand of the green City planners were just as likely to turn to building product, it may also meet a city's the density bonus, which is a zoning tool, goals with regard to their climate change instead of reduced fees, which is more of initiatives and agreements. It is clear a direct financial benefit to a developer. T. bt . C' .. Developers preferred the,a ell. ompa"son of the Top Five Factors for City Professionals and .the Development Community more direct benefits ofreduced fees and also looked for trends and product information to help ensure their success. Nonetheless, both groups saw social responsibility as an important incentive. In fact, city planners may look to recognize and promote developers engaged in green building. The barriers seen by both groups were remarkably similar with cost and lack of education or information topping both lists. The economy and political mindset were two factors city planners noted that developers did not. Comparing answers between the two groups on each question may be helpful in further communication and developing useful strategies and policies regarding green building. Table 11 shows the top five responses for city planners and public works professionals and members of the development community side by side for each question. By understanding the differing perspectives of the two stakeholder groups on each question, it may be possible to begin to understand how to bridge the gaps between them. In reviewing Table 11 it is evident that city planners and public works professionals reported five distinct elements as important: tools, return on investment, performance, marketability, and political will and education. Members of the development community ranked consumer demand, return on investment and building performance at the top oftheir list, and then ranked customer value and education of developers and suppliers as important The primary differences are that city professionals recognized that they need political support to take on new initiatives and members of the development community recognized the importance of customer value and consumer demand for green building to ensure long-term feasibility. Additionally, members of the development community pointed to the need for their own as well as their suppliers' education in green building. City professionals felt strongly about the education of the public with regard to the value of green building. While educating In terms of tools and support, education topped both lists, although each advocated for education of different groups. Members ofthe development community were interested in education for the consumers and city professionals were more interested in educating all groups, including city staff. Political wil and local legislative support made the top of the city planners' and public works professionals' list. Members ofthe development community reported needing more financial supports through incentives and expedited approval processes. Here, developers were searching for short-term supports and cities were seeking lon~term supports with much greater emphasis on education for all the stakeholders (consumers, developers, and staff. In short, for city planners, education, performance of buildings, in terms of return on investment and energy conservation, as well as political considerations were the top priorities noted in the focus groups. that both city planners and developers valued building performance and return on investment as important to achieving green building goals. In terms of incentives and information, it is once again clear that both groups placed value on return on investment. However, there was a small disconnect in that city professionals were much more likely to fast-track approval for projects, which could address developers' concerns with 23 Survey Purpose, Audience and Method Following the focus group evaluation two surveys were designed to examine green building practices in the Northwest. To obtain perceptions from key stakeholder groups on green building development incentives and barriers, this study makes use of data from the two surveys - one for planners and public works professionals and the other for the architects and construction professionals. This section of the report provides an analysis of: ~ The primary data collected at the city level and the findings from that data ~ The county data and 101 largest MSAs by aggregated responses ~ The aggregated individual level data for the construction industry members and Idaho architects Statistical Areas (MSAs) across the United States to better understand the way large and small cities (in terms of population) may differ or be similar.4 A reminder letter with a paper copy of the survey was mailed approximately three weeks later. Planning directors were also contacted by phone to encourage survey responses. The overall response rate was 51 percent with 201 of the 396 cities, and 38 percent or 57 of 152 counties responding to the survey. Table 12 provides the breakdown by state for cities and counties where Idaho demonstrates the highest response rate at 65 percent for cities and 50 percent for counties, and Utah the lowest at 45 percent for cities and 10 percent for counties. The overall response rate for the core cities of the 101 largest MSAs was 45 percent with 45 of 101 cities returning the surveys.s Architects and Construction Industry Members Survey A second survey was developed after interviews with developers in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington and focus groups with Idaho developers, architects, and members of the construction industry. The survey was sent by post to all the members of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) who are directly involved with building in the states of Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington; and in Idaho to all of the members of Idaho chapter of the American Institute of Architect. The cover letter included a link so respondents could either take the survey online or complete it and return it in the self-addressed postage paid envelope. Reminders were sent approximately three and six weeks later encouraging a response to the survey. Also, AGC members were contacted by phone to encourage them to complete the survey. The steepest challenge of this survey was getting a response from construction Table 12: Local Government City and County Survey Response Rate by State kIUl Local Government Survey, Findings and Analysis The local government survey was developed after a handful of interviews with planning directors in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and with focus groups in Idaho that included local planners and public works personneL. The local government survey questions were also modeled from surveys previously used by Saha and Paterson (2008) and Jepson (2004) and were pre-tested with selected interviewees for clarity. The survey was sent to planning directors in cities with a population of 2,500 or more in Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington as well as all of the counties in those four states. In addition, the survey was also sent to city planners in the core cities ofthe 101 largest Metropolitan , An MSA is characterized as having a central core, comprising an urbanized area of at least 50,00 people, together with adjacent counties that have social and economic connectivity with a larger central core. The boundary designation of an MSA is determined by the Offce of Management and Budget (OMB). 5 In the remainder of the report MSA will refer to the core city of the MSA that responded to the survey. 25 Table 13: Construction Professionals Survey Response Rate by State Table 14: Mayor/County Commissioner Support for Gren Building Practics professionals. After assembling the mailing list from the public data available on the AGC website for each state, the first mailing went out after removing businesses that were not obviously related directly to construction such as insurance companies and law firms. Early returns indicated that some of the survey participants did not feel the survey applied to them. In follow-up phone calls to everyone in the population across the four states that had not yet returned the survey, additional businesses were identified that had ignored the survey because they also felt they it did not apply to them. One gentleman explained his business supplies concrete pumps and therefore is not directly involved with building construction. The additional follow up helped to focus the population of the target group as well as encourage additional responses. The response rate was 19 percent with 484 of 2,589 surveys being returned. By state, Idaho's 24 percent response rate was the highest and Washington, at 14 percent, was the lowest, as seen in Table 14. The overall response rate of construction industry members and Idaho architect of 19 percent yields a margin of error of plus or minus five percent. Local Government Research Questions The research at the city level was designed to compare findings among cities, counties and MSAs. Specifically, the city survey questions were: ~ What is the level of general knowledge and 26 support, and community factors that currently exist to support green building? ~ What types of capacity are there in terms of established goals and policies, and number of personnel and their knowledge? ~ How often are specific economic incentive tools used and what is the influence of federal, state and local factors on policy considerations? ~ What are the specific identified barriers and incentives for both green building and LEED certification? Findings Community Factors Looking at the aggregated survey data provided by the city and county surveys in the four states and the top 101 MSAs, not a single local government reported that their mayor or county commissioners do not support green building and, further, that the support from local leaders was high, as seen in Table 14. (See Appendix A for copy of the local government survey.)6 Interestingly, the reported awareness among developers of green building is somewhat less across cities and counties than MSAs. Cities and counties in the four states were less likely to report developers are trying out and using green building and LEED certification standards than MSAs. Sixteen percent of cities and counties report that developers are trying out and using green building practices in general, while 15 percent of cities and 8 percent of counties report that developers are trying out and using LEED standards specifically. A full 64 percent of MSAs reported that their development community is experimenting with and using green building techniques, and 47 percent indicated they are trying out or using LEED certification standards. Community factors that might influence green building include: the availability of green materials near one's community; developers and architects knowledgeable about green building; and existing green buildings in the community. More than 50 6 The only difference in the city and county surveys was the first question was changed from City Mayor to County Commissioner. Additionally the word "cit was substituted with "county" for the county survey questions. The top 101 MSAs received the exact same survey as the four state city survey. percent of the cities, counties and MSAs in the survey reported having sources of green building materials that would meet LEED standards within a soo-mile radius of their community. However, equally noteworthy that 41 percent of cities, 40 percent of counties and 36 percent of MSA respondents indicated they did not know if these materials existed within a soo-mile radius of their community. More than half of the cities and 42 percent of the counties reported having a developer or architect that promotes green building in their community. Additionally, cities (31%) and counties (26%) in the four states also indicated that they have formally recognized green buildings that used a rating system other than LEED, such as EnergyStar. An overwhelming 96 percent of MSAs reported that they had a developer or architect promoting formally recognized green buildings (including but not limited to LEED certified buildings). Table 15: Cities' Perceptions of the Awareness of Green Building by Developers Table 16: Community Fadors that Support Green Building 27 Economic Tools Although the majority of cities, counties and MSAs reported having promoted green building, using economic tools to foster green building was infrequent across cities, counties and MSAs, as seen in Table 17. Respondents in cities, counties and MSAs only noted using five tools relatively frequently or frequently. These more frequently reported tools - unlike the other economic development tools, such as grants, fee reduction, and tax credits - are relatively inexpensive to use. Policy Considerations In terms of green building being a goal or priority for a city, a majority of the cities indicated it was not and 74 percent of cities indicated they had not established informal orformal guidelines governing green building. Seventy percent of counties in the study did not have green building goals or priorities and a full 83 percent did not have guidelines or established policies for green building. In contrast to the four state cities and counties, the largest MSAs all indicated that green building was a goal or priority and 66 percent had formal or written goals and priorities for green building. Yet, 18 percent of the largest MSAs did not have either informal or formal policies or guidelines governing green building; however a majority (55%) did have formal or written policies or guidelines on green building. Althoii cities, G reported. 11 green buildi,fg, tools to foster was infreque cou 28 Table 17: Use of Economic Tools to Promote Green Building Table 1B: Policy and Guidelines for Green Buildng 29 Table 19 highlights findings on factors that may influence green building policy. Specifically, when asked about the influence of federal guidance on green building policy in their communities, cities and counties were more likely to say it is not very influential (44% and 36% respectively) while MSAs, on the other hand, indicated much more frequently (40%, as compared 26% for cities and 22% for counties) that federal guidance influenced their policies. In all cases state guidance was much more likely to be noted as influencing city (42%), county (53%) and MSA (47%) policy on green building. The International Code Council (ICC) had more influence on policy for cities and counties where 50 percent report it as influential as compared to MSAs with 38 percent indicating ICC as influentiaL. The impact of whether neighboring cities were engaging or not engaging in green building was much less likely to have an influence on the city, county or MSAs policy on green building in their own jurisdictions. However, whether local business leaders championed green building clearly influenced cities (49%), counties (42%) and MSAs (49%). The support of green building by local elected offcials was much more important to cities (60%) and core cites in the largest MSAs (70%) than the counties (45%). Factors such as the risk associated with getting the new code standard wrong or that the current technology is incorrect had virtually no influence on policy for a clear majority of the cities, counties and MSAs. On developer push back, the threat that a developer would take their development elsewhere, the survey reveals that cities (41%), counties (45%) and MSAs (46%) reported it had little or no influence. Conversely, far fewer cities (36%), counties (25%) and MSAs (36%) reported it did have an influence. Political push back from developers was a little more evenly divided with nearly a third of cities (36%), counties (35%), and MSAs (40%) indicating it has little or no influence compared to nearly a third of cities (3TlAi), counties (26%) and MSAs (32%) reporting it to have at least some influence on policy. In terms of the reported influence of the implications of global warming, the differences among MSAs (53%), cities (34%) and counties (13%) is striking. Finally, the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Mayor's agreement appears to have virtually no influence for cities (15%) and counties (7%) while a majority of MSAs (51%) report it influencing their green building policies. Cities, counties and MSAs differed in terms of capacity with regard to personneL. As expected, MSAs had much more capacity and were more likely to have a lead offce or personnel (38%) dedicated to green building as compared to cities (19%) and counties (16%). As noted in Table 20 a majority of MSAs (75%) also had ten or more public works personnel and planners and support staff compared to a minority for cities (42%) and counties (32%) in the four- state study. The same was true in terms of support staff for MSAs (67%), cities (13%) and counties (18%). Interestingly, and by significant margin, more cities (46%) and counties (51%) do not have LEED AP accredited staff than do. Nine percent of MSAs report having no LEED AP, while 9 percent report having 10 or more on staff.? Perhaps even more interesting is that a significant portion of cities (43%), counties (39%) and MSAs (43%) do i A LEED accredited professional is someone who has passed an exam, signaling an advanc level of knowedge in green building practices in general and LEED certification requirements in particular. Table 20: Staff and LEED AP Accredited Staff by City, County and MSA ny they 31. not know how many LEED AP staff they may have. The difference in staffng between the MSAs and cities and counties is likely to be àttributed to the larger population size of central cities of MSAs as compared to the other cities and counties studied. Incentives and Barriers Fliure 2: Top Five Barriers for Green Bulldlni 140 12 10 80 60 40 20 o The respondents were asked to rank the top five incentives and barriers to green building. As seen in Figure 2, the top five responses were similar for cities, counties and MSAs, however, the fifth most important barrier was a significant deviation with counties indicating consumer education and MSAs noting the complexity of the certification process. There also appeared to be broad agreement that perceived costs, real costs, cost to retrofit, the bad economy and the lack of demand for green building were the most important barriers to green building practices in their communities. As seen in Figure 3, there were several ties when it came to ranking the most important incentives that encourage the adoption of green building in local communities. The data varied across communities, but the factors that tended to be ranked more frequently by cities, counties and MSAs included financial payback, codes that encourage green building, and marketability of green buildings. 32 /' ,~~,;,, Jl'4 ¡f Jfl ..rJ~~.. ilQt.çotM..flMi Figure 3: Top ~lVe Incentives for Green Buildlni 10 80 60 40 20 o ".... ....

Cities and counties noted factors such as a lack of demand for green building, lack of consumers, and lack of consumer education. MSA respondents identified paperwork load and process uncertainty as the fourth- and fifth-most important barriers. Figure 5 reveals considerable variation among cities, counties, and MSAs in terms of what respondents consider the most important incentives to encourage LEED certified practices. The only factor that all communities ranked as relevant was financial payback, but in varying importance. Four other factors ranked in the top five incentives for at least two of the respondent categories of city or county or MSA. The four factors were citizens' interest, marketability of LEED buildings, political vision, and banks promoting green loans and/or appraisals. The other factors noted included expedited reviews, recognition for builders and developers, codes that encourage green building, education resources, public outreach/education, LEED certification as brand adds value, and trained staff with green building expertise. Finally, open-ended comments revealed several themes. The most frequent comment was the need to address return on investment and knowledge of green building, and its costs and benefits. Another theme was that green building is diffcult in small cities without additional funding or staff. Additionally, mandating green buildng, providing education and low-cost resources as well as acknowledging other non- LEED green building program/practices were other frequent comments.

Those that do promote green building report using the same tools that cities and counties note. MSAs also show no greater tendency overall to use tax credits, fee reduction, grants, loans, or financial awards for green building than cities and counties. For the most part MSAs, cities and counties are similar as well in terms of factors that influenced their green-building policy. However, the ways in which MSAs differ from cities and counties are noteworthy. First, federal guidance is more important to green building policy at the MSA level, while cities and counties are more in tune with the International Code Councilor other code drafting bodies. The support of elected offcials also tends to resonate more with MSAs than cities and counties. Finally, the implications of global warming and the Cities for Climate Protection Agreement are clearly more important to a majority of MSAs as compared to the fraction of cities and counties that reports these items having an influence on green building policy.3: Construction Industry Member Survey, Findings and Analysis A second survey was conducted to obtain information about the factors that encourage the adoption of green building practices in the eyes ofthe construction industry (see Appendix B for construction industry member survey). In the survey, participants were asked about: ~ General construction industry factors that might suggest some level of existing inclination for green building ~ Construction industry capacity in terms of specific environmental supports and personnel factors Toward that end, the following specific questions with construction industry members were addressed: ~ What are the overall factors that encourage green building? ~ What are the specific barriers to adoption of green building practices? ~ What incentives or information encourage the adoption of green building practices? ~ What tools or support would encourage the adoption of green building practices? ~ What is the demographic make up of the survey respondents? Findings Incentives and Barriers The survey revealed that 71 percent ofthe respondents believed green building is becoming more important for the competitive edge of their company with 55 percent of respondents indicating that LEED certification is specifically becoming important for the competitive edge of their company. As seen in Figure 6, the five most important barriers to green building were real costs, perceived costs, bad economy, the cost to retrofit existing buildings, and confusion among green build programs. The data on incentives and barriers for LEED certified buildings ilustrates that the biggest barriers for construction industry members were: paperwork load, real cost, perceived cost, complexity of certification process, and confusion among green building programs.

The top five incentives for LEED certification in order were: healthier buildings, social 35 responsibility, marketability of green buildings, lower life-cycle costs, and LEED certification as a brand adds value. Social Networks and Adoption of Green Building Nearly 40 percent of respondents indicated they frequently hear their colleagues talk about green building practices and understand green building practices. Forty-eight percent of respondents reported having a large social and professional network. Twenty-eight percent indicated they are considering enrollng in a professional accreditation course for green building. Thirty-seven percent indicated they enjoy working with green building practices and 28 percent regularly discuss green building practices with their peers and colleagues. More than 50 percent indicated they believe green building practices have significant financial and environmental benefit for society, would like to see green building practices expanded, yet do not intend to find more information about green building practices. Eighty-five percent indicated they are not concerned about the well-being of future generations and 64 percent indicated they believe science and technology actively benefit humanity. Disseminating Information and Making Connections When asked about sources of information, the respondents' top five sources reported, in order, were trade journals, newspaper, television, magazines and the Internet. The top communication methods were email, cell phone, telephone, face-to-face meetings and text messaging. Stage of Adoption When considering construction professionals' awareness of green building practices, only 5 percent reported being unaware. The largest percentage of respondents (36%) indicated they are curious, the next largest category was envisioning the use of green building practices (23%). Nearly a quarter, though, were trying out or using green building practices. The data reflected a very similar pattern with regard to how aware construction professionals believe city planners are with regard 36 to LEED certification standards. While 46 percent of respondents indicated they intend to try applying green building practices on a project, only 18 percent of respondents reported that they feel like the have the knowledge, resources and support to implement green building practices. Nineteen percent of respondents indicated they have earned a certification in green building practices and intended to seek out additional information to aid in the use of green building practices. Twenty- two percent of respondents indicated they are currently using green building practices on a regular basis, and 16 percent plan to continue using green building practices in the future. Nearly a quarter of respondents say they aggressively seek more information about green building practices. Additionally, only 19 percent of respondents reported seeing obvious benefits to their use of green building practices. Yet, 27 percent indicated that they encourage their colleagues and peers to adopt green building practices. A little over 40 percent of respondents reported that they enjoy experimenting with new technology, (Technology, in this case, is defined as the application of best practices to solving construction industry problems) and 38 percent reported they enjoy working through complex problems. Forty- three percent indicated they can imagine complex goals and the path to reach them. Nearly three- quarters of respondents indicated they have a great deal more to accomplish in their professional life. Demographics The demographics revealed that the highest level of education achieved by the parents of the majority of construction professionals is high school (37%), followed by those having a bachelor's degree (29%) and those with an associate's degree (11%) or master's degree (11%). The highest level of education of the respondents themselves was a bachelor's degree (43%) followed by high school (20%). Only 5 percent indicated they never participate in professional or social organizations and 13 percent never travel for professional purposes. A full 31 percent indicated they never have contact with persons or organizations representing green building practices. In terms of income, 38 percent of the respondents reported their income to be $100,000 or more, followed by 17 percent indicating their income was more than $50,000 but less than $75,000, and 16 percent indicated that their income was in the range of $75,000 to $100,000. Fifteen percent declined to indicate their income. Finally, open ended comments revealed several themes. The most commonly cited comment was that green building needs to look at the measurable benefits and provide empirical data showing the energy savings and costs. Another reoccurring concern was with "green washing" and the possibilty that paperwork and certification processes make these efforts anything but green and ultimately draw into question the legitimacy of green building programs. Finally, developers also indicated there should be more recognition of programs other than LEED. Analysis Table 21: Summary of Construction Industry Survey Data In summary, it comes as no surprise that the primary barriers to adopting green building practices center almost entirely around costs. The third factor (bad economy) is also cost-related since we can assume that a "bad economy" reduces profitability. The likely result of this is an increase in caution (risk aversion) for trying something new. The fifth barrier, confusion over green building programs, is also related to cost in that construction industry members are limited in the resources they can devote to learning new techniques and standards. The lack of consensus on a green building standard means that they cannot commit to a single standard without putting themselves at risk for not committing to whichever standard emerges from the pack as "the" standard for green building. Because ofthis uncertainty, construction industry members may decide to avoid spending time, money, and other resources committing to a standard that could be replaced, thus rendering their expenditure a less recoverable cost. With regard to incentives, the responses were somewhat unexpected. The top two incentives listed were "healthier buildings" and "social responsibility."This suggests that construction industry members are concerned about providing buildings that meet broader societal needs and goals. However the nextthree incentives suggest that the top two socially oriented incentives need to be supported by market demand and financial benefits. The ranking ofthe incentives may reflect 37 an acknowledgement of the value of green buildings to society as a whole rather than an indication of individual motivation. Construction industry professionals in general see their profession as providers of the built environment as a benefit to human society. They enjoy seeing solid evidence of their labors and view that evidence as their legacy. Providing a healthy built environment that benefits society may therefore be seen as a worthy and admirable goal. The primary incentives for adopting LEED certification suggests that the construction industry sees LEED as providing healthier buildings that meet a social need. This, in turn, is seen as increasing marketability and brand value to those buildings while lowering operating and maintenance costs. Two of the barriers to the adoption of LEED certification as a standard are similar to those for green building in general, including concerns surrounding costs. However, in the case of LEED certification, paperwork, process complexity, and confusion among green building programs suggest that construction industry members may fear that potential schedule and cost impacts will result from uncertain design and construction standards. This, combined with the risk of committing to a standard that stil lacks universal industry support, suggests that LEED certification may be perceived as raising first costs without providing a correspondingly sure payoff at the point of sale. Table 22: Adoption Level and Strategy convincing proof of payback. According to Everett Rogers (2003), a researcher who investigated how innovations make their way into society, strong social networks are one indicator that people faced with something new wil fall into the category of "innovators," those people most open to trying something new. One-quarter to one-half of the respondents fall into this innovator category of Roger's diffusion modeL. That suggests that these members are - at least potentially- interested in, wiling to look into, and perhaps adopt changing construction practices. It further suggests a potential opportunity to take advantage ofthese social networks to promote green building, to disseminate information, and to provide demonstrations, training, and support. Training programs that specifically tie the construction industry to green construction programs sponsored by municipalities and regional utilities may help drive this change. By appealing to the innovators in the construction industry, cities and utilities can give those innovators the tools they need to transition into active change agents who, in turn, can help pull slower adopters along in the process. If green building advocates can maintain buy-in from these construction industry change agents they potentially can help drive the development of a critical mass in the early adopter category. On the face of it, the contradiction in this result seems counterintuitive. However, it may be that construction industry members feel that they already have the knowledge necessary to employ green building practices at a level at which they feel confident of results. Ifthat is the case, then these findings may suggest the need to provide support mechanisms for their existing level of knowledge and expertise rather than in-depth training. Subsequently, support might then profitably come in the form of information, demonstrations, and smaller task- or technique- focused training opportunities as green building practices continue to change, driving new skill and knowledge needs. It may be worth noting that in an industry and region of the country where one might expect greater resistance to change, and resistance to green building in particular, half of the 38 When we look at the barriers and incentives on LEED certification together, we start to see what may be a pattern of wanting to accept LEED as a certification standard tempered by a lack of confidence that the incentives offered offet the perceived up-front costs. The result, particularly in a time when the economy is seen as poor, may be that LEED is seen as too risky without more respondents find enough benefit to desire greater adoption. These information preferences, combined with earlier data on networking, tend to indicate that a strong social network exists, but one that is dependent on person-to-person interaction both orally and in written communication. This is supported by the data that most of these professionals have substantive social contact with their peers within the construction industry. The implications for using social networking tools to support this industry need to be considered in terms of maximizing the pre-existing networking systems. In other words, those advocating the adoption of green building practices should work with the communication and networking tools that are already in place. The introduction of any kind of new online social networking tool will take time and a good deal of marketing in the traditional sources such as trade journals and newspapers before those new networking tools can assume an important role as both a source of information and a communication tool. The more cost effective method for transmitting information about tools and resources coming online for construction professionals would be to create awareness using the social and professional organizations that already serve the needs of the construction industry's members. Nearly half of all respondents indicate a desire to introduce green building practices on a project, but only one out of five indicate that they have the knowledge, resources, or support to be truly effective. In theory, that leaves a significant portion of construction professionals as a viable market for tightly targeted training programs and resources. A breakdown of the construction industry members by stage suggests the following distribution across the stages of adoption. This suggests that effort to generate the adoption of green building are best targeted at providing (Table 23): ~ Information for those just getting started ~ Demonstrations of practice (and financial retum) for those actively considering green building ~ Targeted training for those ready to start ~ Support for those already using green building as well as for those who are likely to become active users as other strategies become effective. It is interesting to note that while only about one- fifth of the respondents see obvious benefits to green building, more than one-quarter suggest Table 23: Construction Industry Members and Stage of Adoption Dormant (1999) built on Roger's work to propose five renamed stages that people go through when considering the adoption of something new (Table 23). Each stage has a corresponding strategy to maximize the stage's success. What these results suggest is that green building advocates do not need to worry about advertising, but instead can focus their efforts on providing information, demonstrations, training, and support. Any marketing that needs to occur can be done using the pre-existing social networks within the construction industry; data presented earlier in this report supports the notion that this market is likely to occur as a self-sustaining viral campaign of person- to-person contacts. However, this data emphasizes the need for well-designed and robust resources as social networks are equally quick to spread negative assessments as positive. that they encourage their peers and colleagues to use such practices. This may suggest that they see potential long-term benefits to green building and/or that they feel the social benefits make green building worth pursuing. Another possible interpretation is that they desire a more level playing field where a better overall understanding of the basics of green building will allow competitive differentiation via specialty. Nearly three-quarters of respondents indicated they have a great deal more to accomplish in their professional life. This may suggest why over one-third of the members of this group are not shying away from the complexity of applying new technology to solving diffcult and challenging 39 40 problems but instead may be waiting for the right tools and information to start this problem- solving process. The key to this comes in the form of well-designed tools and information. Adopting a user-centered approach that identifies specific user needs will help reduce and minimize the possibilty of user rejection at the later stages of implementation. According to Rogers, a signifcant portion of innovations fail at the implementation (use) stage because they were not designed based on the needs ofthe end user. Green building practitioners that are most successful tend to use an integrated design approach where key stakeholders, usually those who most quickly adopt something new, are brought in during the early stages of the design. These people are highly motivated to participate and ensure that the design wil best serve their peers because a good deal of their professional and personal reputation is dependent on the success of the innovation. In other words, if those who choose to adopt green building and LEED certification can show the processes to be substantive and meaningful then, as a result, they look good, which raises their ability to further influence others within their social network. Rogers suggests that people with a higher level of upward mobility are more likely to be innovators and wil therefore be quicker to adopt something new. Assuming that the respondents are reasonably representative ofthe larger population, we can project that enough professionals in the industry are open and interested in developing their skil set to justify investing in a comprehensive set of supportive resources and tools. However, additional research would need to be conducted before this assumption can be validated. Given the available data, a population that fits the demographic profile wil be suffciently innovative so that an investment in developing resources and tools for them would be worthwhile. In business terms, this would be a calculated risk well worth taking. This income profile indicates that more than half of the respondents fall in the middle to upper- middle income brackets. Rogers points to the availability of material resources as being a strong indicator of innovativeness. That is, the more material resources you have, the less risk averse you are because the consequences of failure wil not impact you as much as they would someone with fewer resources. Local Government and Construction Industry Members Survey Conclusions Perhaps the most notable findings are evident when considering the information in both the local government surveys and the construction professional data. There is a general consensus by cities, counties, MSAs and construction industry members that real and perceived costs, as well as costs to retrofit, and the bad economy, are salient barriers to green building in general and LEED certification specifically. An additional barrier to more widespread adoption of LEED certification by both communities and construction professionals is the paperwork load, and in the case of MSAs, the complexity of certification. There appears to be a significant disconnect between cities, counties and MSAs compared to the construction industry members about the incentives that promote green building. The only factors that both groups agree on were the financial payback and marketability of green building. It is also noteworthy that cities generally find financial payback the NO.i incentive and rank marketability fourth whereas construction industry members rank marketability third and financial payback fifth. In terms of incentives that encourage LEED certification, cities and MSAs agree with construction industry members only on the factor of marketability, while MSAs and construction industry members agree that LEED certification does add brand value. Despite the matchups, financial incentives are ranked higher by cities and lower by construction industry members. This suggests that cities may need to rethink their strategies. Perhaps highlighting the health and social responsibility of green buildings will do more to advance green building than financial incentives. Additionally, this evidence suggests that cities' current approach of not relying on financial incentives but rather low cost inducements such as publicity, demonstration projects, and education is an appropriate strategy. In this way, they may help foster the market transformation of demand for green buildings, which in turn increases the likelihood of a financial payback for a developer. Alternatively, one might conclude it may be that the financial incentives offered to date are not known .a ~. cl I or are insuffcient in type or quantity to motivate the construction industry. As a result, construction industry members may stil view adoption of green building practices as a progressive move on their part that provides health and social benefits. For those developers, building green without additional inducements may be seen as the right thing to do and can meet the current demand for green buildings by specific segments ofthe market. Yet, if supply does not keep up with current demand, there may be a need for additional or more robust financial incentives to increase the number of green buildings until there is an overall increase in demand. Ultimately, this means there is more than one way to attract demand for green building from both a developer's and a community's perspective. In communities where there are resources that can help guarantee more green buildings, financial incentives may be the quickest most direct way to achieve green building goals. However, in communities where few financial incentives exist, one way to foster green building is to help developers spread the word of their value to individuals in terms of health and environmental goals to hasten the market transformation for greater demand in green buildings. Clearly communities that can afford to provide incentives or have mandates for green buildings could also benefit from general education and promotion of the benefits of green building as welL. Considering both findings from the surveys in combination with the focus group data, both education and financial incentives can playa key role in meeting green buildings goals. Tables 7, 9 and 10 highlight the developers' perspective of taking a long-term view of green building ranking consumer desire/market demand, lack of education, and consumer education as very important (either first or second on their list) and city professionals in Table 6 ranked education as the top tool for encouraging green building. At the same time, Tables 8 and 9 suggest developers ranked reduced fees and return on investment as their NO.1 incentive and certification costs their top barrier. In Tables 2, 3, and 4 cities equally note the importance of cost benefits and incentives that can lower costs for developers less directly than reduced fees, such as expedited approval processes and density bonuses, and awareness ofthe up-front costs and the economy's potential effect on encouraging green building. Financial incentives are, in theory, a short-term tool for promoting green building because both developers and cities realize the value of green building but understand a market item cannot and should not be subsidized for long-term sustainability. In the end, increasing consumer demand is the only sure way to guarantee return on the investment. Although cities may recognize that subsidies are not feasible for long-term sustainability, cities also are motivated to use financial incentives to get the ball rolling because of political necessity to meet community needs and priorities. All the while cities demonstrate they value the importance and role of education for all stakeholders for the purpose of meeting long-term goals. Construction professionals also have a role to play in marketing and education and demonstrate that they too recognize its value for long-term sustainability in the market place. Perhaps not as salient to the overall outcomes, but stil noteworthy, is the discrepancy between the local government respondents and the construction professionals in their respective belief of the development community's awareness of green building. Regarding construction professional awareness, cities and counties tend to underestimate the number of construction professionals who are trying out and using green building practices. City estimates indicate that only 15 percent of construction professionals are trying out and using green building practices as compared to the 23 percent reported by construction professionals themselves. Although the MSAs report much more use and experimentation (64%) than the respondent data from construction professionals in the Pacific Northwest, it is diffcult to generalize the response from the Pacific Northwest to all MSAs. The differences between local government and construction professionals are noteworthy because they suggest the critical mass necessary to meet a market transformation in green building in the construction industry is further along than anticipated by cities. Additionally, survey data reveal a full 75 percent also appear poised to move to the next stages of trying out and using green building techniques. In the end, the similarities, gaps, and differences between the developers and local government perspectives and capacity for green building help identify some key next steps. 3€ 41 Next Steps 011 gaps and similarities in perspectives and capacities constn.lctiol1 industry members discovered in this study, severa! practices are identified that may be appropriate strategies communities in the Pacific Northwest. The recommendations fall into four broad categories: ~ Marketing to the public to increase demand ~ Policies and processes for developers to support financial payback ~ Information, demonstrations, and training to enable green-building practices ~ Support for current users of green building and LEED certification to continue green building practices Although the bulk of the leadership for the recommendations falls primarily on the cities, success in meeting green building goals wil only be realized by public/private partnerships in terms of the wilingness of both groups to take some initiative to advance green building in our communities. The next steps in this section are intended to help cities, counties, utilities, MSAs, developers, building owners, architects, and other construction industry members promote green building in general, and in ways that are beneficial to all involved. Marketing to the Public Both cities and construction industry members listed the creation of additional marketing efforts (presumably to generate additional consumer demand) as something that could drive the adoption of green building. One recommendation, 42 then, is that cities, utilities, and construction industry members should work with existing networks in construction industry associations and real estate associations to market green buildings of all types to potential government, commercial, non- profit, and residential consumers. While this study did not examinE! consumer views on green building, the literature on the diffusion of innovations suggests: ~ Buildings that comply with indoor environmental quality standards and guidelines that are part of most green building rating systems tend to provide healthier occupant environments and these health benefits can add directly to a leasing organization's bottom line through reduced employee ilness and greater productivity. The long-term financial benefit can be marketed to consumers of green building space as a way to increase the premium of green building purchases and leases. . It may be profitable to focus on the rapid returns on investment that can be realized from energy and water effciency measures in green buildings, which can eventually exceed any additional up-front costs for green design and construction, as well as what features to look for in green properties to achieve these goals. This information may be particularly effective for those consumers intent on purchasing or leasing building space for longer periods oftime. . Some secondary benefit might be gained from promoting the purchase, lease, or renting of green buildings for reasons of a contribution to greater social responsibility in the form of improved quality of life for the community and its residents. . By working in tandem, cities, the construction industry, and real estate associations may be able to create enough market demand to begin overcoming the negative inertia caused by the poor economy and begin to develop a critical mass of demand for green buildings across market sectors. . It may also be useful to work with local, regional, and even national real estate associations to include green building features as search criteria on the multiple listing service (MLS) through which consumers search for property that meet their criteria. Interviews revealed this to be promising practice in Portland, Oregon. Policies and Processes to Support Financial Payback AsYudelson (2007, p. 12) suggests, cities, counties and MSAs should work with construction industry members, both individually and in concert with professional associations, to create policies and processes that help provide financial incentives to adopt green building practices. Any such policies should include the detailed input of construction industry members to increase their acceptance and buy-in. Interviews (2009) revealed, such policies might include but would not be limited to: . FastTracking: Fast tracking permits for green building practices (Interviews 2009). . Incentives for New Construction: Cities and utilties might provide incentives to developers who build the infrastructure to support the later addition of renewable energy, water saving, and other green financially beneficial building features into their new buildings. . Incentives for the Purchase/Lease of Green Buildings: Cities might consider providing financial incentives to consumers who purchase green buildings when those buildings result in a decreased load on utilities and other municipal resources. This type of incentive may also be beneficial to creating a synergistic demand through marketing efforts. . Incentives for Retrofits: Cities and utilities might provide incentives to consumers who retrofit existing buildings with renewable energy, passive energy saving strategies, water saving, and other green features that result in reduced resource use. This type of incentive may also be beneficial to creating a synergistic demand through marketing efforts. . Provide Support for LEED Projects: Cities might consider providing LEED accredited professionals on their own staff to provide support to construction industry members to reduce the costs associated with the ~ initial learning curve on green buildings ~ additional costly paperwork load ~ identification and planning for the most marketable green building features Information, Demonstrations, and Training Work with construction industry associations to plan, develop, and deliver: . Construction Process/Procedure Information: Specific and targeted information on the benefits of green building to directly meeting the needs of construction industry members . Marketing Information: Information and, possibly, training for directly meeting the needs of members of the real estate industry on potential features and financial, health, and social responsibility benefits of green buildings. This option would need an independent professional needs assessment to verify both its feasibility and desirability. . Professional Demonstrations: Professional demonstrations of green building techniques as requested by construction industry members. These demonstrations should be driven directly 43 44 by information needs expressed by builders and developers and could be provided on a regular or semi-regular basis as new building techniques are developed and start to become accepted (Interviews 2009). ~ Case Studies: Developing easily accessible case studies showing financial payback and return on investment for green building projects, particularly in local or regional context. These cases should be created and disseminated in close cooperation with members of the construction industry. To the extent possible, focus should be on those features of green building / LEED certification that realistically provide the most positive impact on the financial outcomes of the projects. Those features might then be the subject of information and demonstration effort listed above. ~ Training: In those cases where the knowledge and skil gaps of construction industry members cannot adequately be addressed using information or demonstrations, cities, utilities, and construction industry associations may work to together or alone to develop targeted training to address more complex skil and/or knowledge gaps. Another option is to contract with outside providers of training that meet the specific needs of construction industry members. Training, because it is expensive and perishable in nature should only be used when less expensive options are unsuitable. In those cases when training is called for, it should be developed by capable instructional designers to ensure it meets the intended learning outcomes and avoids providing ineffective solutions that merely waste participants' time. Provide Support for Current Users of Green Building and LEED Certification In order to maintain support and maintain early adopters of green building and LEED, cities should consider providing the following kinds of support: ~ Local/Regional Green Buildings Supplier Lists: Construction industry members, in theirfocus groups and survey results, identified diffculty in finding or not knowing of regional green building supplies as one obstacle. Providing and maintaining online lists ofthe suppliers and locations of green building supplies would be one way to support those who have already embraced green building practices. ~ Local/Regional Green Building Contractor and Sub-Contractor Lists: Construction industry members, in their focus groups, identified diffculty in finding skiled and knowledgeable contractors and sub-contractors as one obstacle to adopting green building practices. Providing and maintaining online lists of reliable èontractors and sub-contractors would be one way to support those who have already embraced green building practices. This might be done using existing mechanisms by having industry associations work with providers of service information such as Angie'S List or by creating their own accessible directories that allow for consumer feedback.8 This kind of list, for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers of the green building industry would go a long way toward making that information not only accessible, but also easier to prioritize. ~ Professional Associations with Green Building Information: Providing lists of professional associations that have networks and communities that are already sharing green building practices would support those already involved in green building. ~ Best Practice Information on Green Building / LEED Certification: Providing a clearinghouse of best-practices on green building. This might be provided by professional associations, cities, universities, or other third party providers. ~ Calendars of Local/Regional Events: Centralized calendars providing access to local or regional green building demonstrations and training. These might be maintained by any involved in cooperation with interested stakeholder groups. 3€ a Angie's List is a third part vendor that collects information about contrctors, service providers, and docors. Those being evaluated by their customers do not pay to be on the list. Similarly, the data collection for the list is standardized and there are no anonymous reviews. References Bade, M. (2003).

REFERENCES................................................................................................................................ 29 Incentive Lab-Boise # Advanced Energy This Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) was undertaken to provide both Idaho Power Company (IPC) and the building design and operation community with useful information about occupant satisfaction related to energy efficiency measures. Specifically, this research examined two of IPC's prescriptive energy efficiency incentive programs. The information provided by the study may help to guide improvements of current IPC incentive programs and individual measures, or be the genesis of new incentive measures. There are many examples when users' impact building performance and POEs are an important means to help understand human behavioral relationships with building energy consumption and various energy efficiency measures. To assess occupant satisfaction in relation to specific effciency measures we chose to use an existing relevant survey created by the National Research Council of Canada Institute for Research in Construction (Veitch, Farley, Newsham, 2002) for their research of open plan office environments. In our study, data were collected through an online survey tool where respondents answered questions relating to environmental satisfaction. The paper documents over forty different energy efficiency measures (EEMs) and subsequent relationships with occupant comfort and satisfaction. A survey of occupants (n=232) across 20 buildings that participated in IPC's Building Efficiency Program (BEP) and Easy Upgrades (EU) program was conducted during the summer and fall of 2009. Occupants were asked to respond to over 40 questions across seven distinct constructs, including Environmental Features Ratings, Environmental Satisfaction, Jab Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Intent to Turnover, Health, and Demographic Variables. Responses to each question were statistically analyzed for significant differences between individuals in buildings with and without each EEM. However, many of the sample groups had fewer than 30 respondents and thus the data were reanalyzed by grouping the measures into 15 EEM systems to increase the number of respondents in each group. The EEM systems defined are Reduced Lighting Power Density, Daylight Photo Controls, Occupancy Sensors, Efficient Cooling Units, Air Side Economizers, Reflective Roof Treatment, High Performance Windows, Window Shading, Energy Management Systems, Demand Control Ventilation, Variable Speed Drives, Central lighting Controls, Improved Insulation, 7 Day Two-Stage Setback, and Highly Efficient Signage. Upon completion of the second phase of analysis we found the results to be more meaningful and revealing of occupant satisfaction. Occupants in buildings with certain EEMs had significantly lower environmental satisfaction than those without the measure. These included, Daylight Photo Controls, Efficient Cooling Units, Reduced Lighting Power Density, and Occupancy Sensors. Daylight Photo Controls resulted in a significant decrease in occupant satisfaction with both the frequency of distractions and abilty to control the physical environment. Occupants in buildings with efficient Cooling Units, showed lower satisfaction with temperature. Based on the comments we received in the open-ended response section of the survey, temperature was the number one response occupants gave when asked "What do you like least about your office?" The majority of the occupants that indicated dissatisfaction with temperature described their workspaces as "too cold" especially in the summer months when the space was mechanically cooled! Reduced lighting Power Density, showed decreased occupant satisfaction with their perceived abilty to alter or control their physical environment. It is also interesting to note that for all three measures, there were no significant differences in satisfaction with the amount of light provided by the system for work. Evaluation of Incentive Programs; Advanced integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 2009 Page 2 of 30 Occupants in buildings with certain EEMs showed increased environmental satisfaction when compared to those without the measure. This is an encouraging result since it suggests that these EEMs are not only providing energy savings but also increased occupant comfort. These included, Air Side Economizers, High Performance Windows, Window Shading, Energy Management Systems, Demand Control Ventilation, Variable Speed Drives, Air Side Economizer, and T8 Replacements. Air Side Economizers resulted in increased occupant satisfaction with temperature. Questions regarding occupant comfort and measures that relate to the building shell returned some interesting results. Buildings with High Performance Windows showed increased occupant satisfaction with temperature. Window Shading showed improved occupant satisfaction with glare and aesthetics. It is also interesting to note that no statistically significant differences were shown for satisfaction with the amount of light on the desktop or for computer work for buildings with High Performance Windows or Window Shading, thus indicating that neither measure had a negative effect on the amount or quality of lighting in the space. Occupants in buildings that received an incentive for EMS showed an increase in satisfaction with the questions regarding thermal comfort, air movement, air quality, and temperature and there was no difference in satisfaction with the occupant's ability to control their environment leading us to believe that energy management systems improved occupant comfort while not diminishing individual control. Demand Control Ventilation returned results that show occupants had a higher level of satisfaction with the air quality without affecting their comfort level in regards to temperature. With a few notable exceptions, these results suggest that occupant satisfaction with environmental features is most commonly beneficially affected or unaffected by the EEMs incentivized by IPC. In a few cases listed above, occupant satisfaction was significantly lower in buildings with certain EEMs. Additional research may be warranted on EEMs that returned significantly beneficial or detrimental affects upon occupant satisfaction. This study was not intended to provide conclusions about causality. While the body of the paper does formulate some hypotheses as to causality, further study of particular EEM systems would need to be conducted to understand the reasons why occupants responded the way they did. We suggest those EEMs that produced significantly lower occupant satisfaction warrant additional causal research in order to provide concrete guidance to improve IPC incentives so they maintain or improve occupant satisfaction when implemented. This follow up research may include interviews with building occupants, targeted data logging of EEM performance, and or human factors data collection and comfort analysis. Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Incentive Lab-Boise # In the recent decade, regulating agencies, such as public utility commissions, have placed increased demands on electric utilities to maximize efficiency opportunities prior to building new electric generation facilties. Utilty companies nationwide have developed programs that pay incentives to individuals or companies to spur investment in energy efficient technologies that decrease energy use and peak demand in areas such as lighting, heating and cooling, ventilation, plug load, and refrigeration. In this manner, Idaho Power Company (IPC) offers its customers several incentive programs to encourage more efficient energy use. These programs span a wide scope of work from new construction to simple equipment upgrades. Aside from 'process loads', most energy consumption in buildings is to provide a comfortable and productive environment for workers. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that energy efficiency strategies and technologies interact with human comfort in important and sometimes dramatic ways. This paper documents research aimed and understanding the comfort implications associated with IPC's incentive programs. The paper documents overall satisfaction and comfort of occupants that participated in a survey of people who work in buildings that participated in IPC's incentive programs. The purpose of this paper is to determine if any of IPC's energy efficiency measures (EEMs) significantly impacted occupant satisfaction, and if so, to document the magnitude and direction of the effects. The paper is not intended to provide conclusions to causality, however in select instances, hypotheses are offered. This paper focuses on two of i PC's commercial efficiency incentive programs; the Building Efficiency Program (BEP) and Easy Upgrades (EU). BEP is oriented towards new construction projects or major remodels, renovations, and additions. The incentives include 12 prescriptive measures, such as high performance windows and shading devices or daylighting photo controls and energy management systems. The EU program is oriented towards existing buildings undergoing routine improvements and equipment upgrades. EU is also a prescriptive program with 143 possible measures. Measures include lighting fixture upgrades, high efficiency equipment, variable speed drives etc. The full list of measures is available at IPC's Commercial Efficiency web page listed below. http://www.idahopower.com/EnergyEfficiency/Busi nessl defa u It.cfm ?ta b-Business This literature review is not intended to document the detailed experimental or survey research on the multitude of specific energy efficiency technologies or strategies. Rather, we sought out studies that examined occupant comfort in relation to utilty sponsored energy efficiency incentive programs. The body of research most closely related to purpose of our research is commonly referred to as 'Post-Occupancy Evaluation' (POE) research. A Post-Occupancy Evaluation as defined by Preiser and Vischer (2004) is "the act of evaluating buildings in a systematic and rigorous manner after they have been built and occupied for some time." This method can be used to study the potential interactions between energy efficient strategies and technologies with human comfort, satisfaction and productivity. While the extensive body of POE research is not reviewed here in detail, a broad overview is offered. Evaluatíon of Energy Incentive Programs; Advanced Design lab-Boise (Report # Several researchers have made significant contributions to the field of POE research including those at the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at UC-Berkeley, the New Buildings Institute (NBI), the National Research Council of Canada's Institute of Research in Construction (NRC-IRC), and Buildings-in-Use to name a few. This body of research provides substantial knowledge about specific energy efficient strategies, such as daylighting and passive heating, cooling and ventilating and the various technologies that accompany these strategies. However, the nature of this work often requires detailed and time intensive methodologies that prevent broad surveys across multiple buildings. This research tends to be deployed in a case study approach where the occupant satisfaction with the specific combination of EEMs at one building is documented. Only as a sequence of individual case studies accumulates can statements of a broad nature be made. To our knowledge, this body of research has not been extended as an evaluation method of utilty incentive programs as we proposed with our research. Our research set out to determine whether there is a relationship between occupant satisfaction and comfort in buildings that participated in the specific incentivized EEMs and those that did not have incentivized EEMs. In other words, do various incentivized EEMs positively or negatively affect occupant satisfaction or comfort with their workspace. The methods used by the research teams above were evaluated in terms of the information that was collected, the time investment by the researchers and the time investment by the participants. Based upon this evaluation, we selected the survey instrument as developed by the National Research Council of Canada (Veitch, Farley and Newsham, 2002) for their research into open-plan office environments. In addition to the POE research, we found a few studies that aimed to assess comfort in relation to various utilty incentivized energy effciency measures. A brief description of the research aims, methods and results are provided below. In 2003, Clinch and Healy (2003) published an investigation of the economic benefits associated with improving thermal comfort for the residences in Ireland participating in energy-efficient retro-fitting programs. Their results suggest that approximately 21% of those surveyed wil value increased comfort as more important than reduced energy cost. While this paper clearly addresses a connection between occupant comfort and energy efficient incentive program it is specific to thermal comfort and focuses on residential applications. In 2005, the California Energy Commission (CEC) published a case study on a 415,000 SF building that had installed an energy management system (EMS) in Beverly Hils, California. The EMS system integrated the operation of new mechanical, electrical, and sensing equipment. According to the CEC, the building saved approximately $300,000 annually and resulted in reduced occupant complaints regarding comfort by 95%. This case study judges occupant satisfaction with the EMS system and other mechanical and electrical upgrades by the recording the reduction in building complaints to the facility staff. However, it does not examine occupant satisfaction or comfort directly, only indirectly. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in California, is currently working with its federal customers to award incentives for their adoption of high efficiency lighting and controls technology. This program helps both PG&E and Federal buildings meet their mandated energy efficiency targets. According to PG&E's website (PG&E, 2009), data wil be collected on occupant comfort and customer satisfaction in addition to energy and peak demand savings. This research is stil underway but indicates the need for the type of incentive program evaluation carried out and included in this report. Incentive Lab"Boise (Report # Advanced This paper draws from previous research (Veitch, Farley, Newsham, 2002) on occupant satisfaction within open plan office environments but is unique in that the objective of this research is to study the effects of a large suite of EEMs on occupant satisfaction with the resultant indoor environment. This research began with the following hypothesis: EEMs in buildings wil provide a comfortable and productive working environment that is equivalent to traditional building systems. In other words, EEMs implemented wil save energy in buildings with no significant negative or positive effect on people working in that environment. Thus there wil be no significant difference in ratings of satisfaction for individuals working in buildings that implemented the EEM and those that did not. Selection of the buildings was created through a process that began with IPC providing master list of buildings that participated in their incentive programs and had received incentive checks for either their Building Efficiency Program (BEP) or Easy Upgrades (EU) program between January 2006 and April 2009. Upon receipt, the list contained 289 EU buildings and 119 BEP buildings. Several filters were applied to arrive at a manageable list of possible buildings to be included in the study. IPC applied the first filter prior to the list being distributed to the research team. This first filter eliminated any EU buildings that had an upgrade cost of less than $8,000. This filter reduced the list down to 289 buildings. Prior to this filter the incentive amounts paid by IPC ranged from $112 to upwards of $20,000. The next filter was applied to both the EU and BEP lists, and it eliminated schools and prisons to avoid 'vulnerable participants' in order to simplify the approvals process with the University of Idaho's Human Assurances Committee (HAC). EASY UPGRADES For EU buildings, an additional filter eliminated any buildings without some office environment component. Since the survey instrument was going to be delivered via the Internet, participants would be required to have access to a computer. Furthermore, office settings are a fairly consistent in terms of occupant comfort expectations, therefore reducing variabilty in the sample. After applying these filters, 104 EU buildings remained. These buildings were later prioritized into two groups, low priority (21) and high priority (83) for the phone recruitment campaign. High priority buildings were deemed to have a greater number of occupants in office environments.

The incentive payouts range from $45 to the maximum possible of $100,000. The other filters used for the EU program were applied, leaving a total of 72 potential buildings for inclusion. These too were prioritized; low priority (36) high priority (36) using the same logic as described for the EU program.

Participant's Education 2009 90f30 OTHER OCCUPANT AND LOCATION INFORMATION The information gathered in this survey included non-specific location information regarding occupants' proximity to a window as reported in Figure 2. Access to a window from where the occupant normally works was recorded for to provide additional insight into questions related to daylight, view and visual comfort. Survey responses showed that 44% of occupants had a window directly next to them, 12% had access to a window next to their neighbor, 23% did not have a window in their area but could see one from where they worked, and 21% had no access to a window at alL. In addition we found that 94% of occupants used lCD computer screens and only 6% use older CRT screens. These data are required for an analysis that is beyond the scope of this report. Window Direction Ii North II East m South II West Figure 1. - Window Orientation BUILDING INFORMATION Table 2 below depicts characteristics of the sample of buildings that had occupants who responded to the survey. Some of the buildings/occupants that responded to the survey, not included in the final analysis for several reasons. Some buildings were found not to have IPC measures .and some occupants did not check the consent approval box in the survey. We have excluded the names of the buildings so as to keep the identities of the participants and buildings confidentiaL. The names have been replaced with a unique building code for each of the respective buildings. Also listed is the occupancy type of the building, which due to the nature of the study is overwhelmingly office or includes some office occupancy. Additionally we included the general region in which the building is located. These areas are defined as Metro Area, Mountain, Eastern, and Western. The Metro Area Evaluation of Incentive Programs; Advanced Design lab-Boise # 2009 10 of 30 includes any buildings within the Treasure Valley region of Idaho. The Mountain designation includes buildings that lie directly north or east of Boise in the higher altitude locations. The Eastern designation includes buildings east of Burley that fell within IPC's service region. Finally the Western designation includes buildings that lie west or north of the Treasure Valley.

They ran a research project titled Cost-effective Open-Plan Environments (COPE), through which this instrument was developed. The construction of the survey instrument was multidisciplinary and spanned several years of development by the NRC-IRe. Each section of this survey had been rigorously tested for validity and internal reliabilty. This instrument had been used in several previous studies measuring occupant satisfaction for various research purposes. The survey comprises seven sections concerning different aspects of the work environment. The following is a description of each section and its question contents. - Environmental Features Ratings - This section questions occupants on 18 specific aspects of their work environment in the categories of satisfaction with ventilation, satisfaction with lighting, satisfaction with privacy, and satisfaction with control. The original 18-ltem questionnaire was developed for the COPE project (Charles et aI., 2003: Veitch et aI., 2002) and was based on Ratings of Environmental Features created by Stokols and Scharf (1990). - Environmental Satisfaction - This section contains a two-item measure of overall environmental satisfaction developed as part of NRC-IRe's COPE project, which has shown to relate to conditions in the physical environment (Veitch, Charles, Newsham, Marquardt, & Geerts, 2003). - Job Satisfaction - This section is a single item scale of overall job satisfaction, which has been shown to have acceptable reliability and to be suitable for use when longer scales are impractical (Dolbier et aI., 2005; Wanous, Reichers, &Hudy, 1997). Wording for this item was developed by Dolbier, Webster, McCalister, Mallon, and Steinhardt (2005). - Organizational Commitment - This section includes six items developed by Meyer, Allen, and Smith (1993). -Intent to Turnover - This section includes three items created by Colarell (1984). -Health - This section was used to measure various occurrences of adverse health reactions and their frequency and intensity. The items were developed by Veitch and Newsham (1998) using a combination of work from a scale developed by Wibom and Carlsson (1987) as well as literature from Hedge, Erickson, and Rubin (1992). -Demographic variable - This section was included to provide statistical control by allowing a determination of the degree to which the occupants in the study groups are similar (Newsham et aI., Boyce et aI., 2003). Also included are some open ended, non-identifying questions about their location in the building and other opinions on environmental conditions. Evaluation of Energy Incentive Design Lab-Boise (Report # Advanced Energy 2009 Page 12 of 30 After a review of the methods available to deliver online surveys we chose to use Lime Survey. Lime Survey is an open source freeware that is widely used for general and scientific research. We created the survey instrument in Lime Survey using methods similar to those of the NRC-IRC COPE studies. The online survey followed the section breakdowns listed above. The online survey format is available in Appendix G. The survey was delivered to each participant via an email with a hyperlink. After the initial sorting of the building lists from IPC was completed, several standardized documents were created to contact building owners and operators and recruit their participation in the study. We began a phone campaign in June of 2009 that continued through October of 2009 to secure participants. This process is detailed below. After making initial contact through the phone campaign, a formal email (Appendix B) that described who was conducting the research (University of Idaho), what the intent of the research was, and the procedures to participate were distributed to the appropriate building representative. This email also included the approval letter from the HAC, and a standardized memo that management could distribute to encourage employee participation in the survey (Appendices A and F). We began the phone campaign by contacting all high priority buildings on both the BEP and EU lists established during building filter and selection process. We made contact with 46 BEP building representative and 83 EU building representatives. Of the 46 BEP representatives contacted, 10 denied participation, 24 did not respond to repeated requests to follow through with contact information, 1 building was no longer occupied, and 11 managers agreed to participate in the study and followed through with the necessary contact information. Of the 83 EU representatives contacted, 30 denied participation, 29 did not respond to repeated requests to follow through with contact information, 3 were no longer occupied, and 21 agreed to participate and followed through with the necessary contact information. The process was extremely time intensive and often required two to three months of repeated contact and in some cases several personal meetings to obtain approval from management. Sometimes permission was granted by managers, but we were unable to secure the necessary contact information or participation from staff. The phone campaign resulted in permission to distribute the survey to 681 people from 11 BEP buildings and 21 Easy Upgrades buildings. In two cases, building management agreed to participate, but could not directly provide email address due to legal limitations. For these cases, we modified Lime Survey so that managers could distribute a single hyperlink to their employees so they could login to the survey and release their own information if willng. Furthermore, one of these would not allow the Intent to Turnover questions be distributed and provisions in Lime Survey were made to accommodate this request. In all other cases, managers sent email addresses directly and these were input into Lime Survey and the surveys were distributed via email as contact information was received. Before proceeding to the survey, participants were asked to read a letter of consent (Appendix D) that described the purpose and procedure of the survey. At the end of the letter, participants were required to check yes or no next to their agreement to participate in the study. If participants check "No" their results were excluded from analysis. In addition to the initial email notification, each potential participant was sent up to three weekly reminders via email (Appendix H) if Incentive Lab-Boise # 2009 13 of 30 they had not yet completed the survey. A thank you and confirmation email (Appendix I) was sent to participants upon completion of the survey. After a period of five months results from the two iterations of the survey (Intent to turnover questions were removed for one building with 38 respondents) were exported from Lime Survey and combined using ExceL. Results that were missing in the Intent to turnover section for the 2nd Iteration of the survey were coded as null in Excel and were not included in the analysis for those three questions. The combined results were imported into JMP statistical software for analysis. JMP is an interactive, visual, statistical analysis software developed by SAS that is widely used by behavioral researchers. Of the 681 individuals input to Lime Survey, 232 completed the survey (34% response rate). Of the 232, 7 responses were either missing critical data or checked 'no' under the consent to participate section and were therefore removed from the analysis. This left a total of 225 survey participants. This paper describes results for the 18 Item environmental features ratings, personal productivity, overall environmental satisfaction, and overall job satisfaction. Other data wil be maintained for future analysis. Satisfaction was rated using a seven point Likert scale as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 - Likert satisfaction scale. For each EEM, we separated participants into two groups, those that occupied buildings without the measure (Group 1) and those occupied buildings with the measure (Group 2). We sorted them into these groupings and compared the mean satisfaction ratings (Table 3) for each group across each question to determine whether the differences were statistically significant. We selected the Wilcoxon nonparametric test of significance and calculated the means and standard deviations for each question-measure combination. The Wilcoxon nonparametric test of significance is the preferred analysis type for this paper for several reasons. First, our data is categorical or rank-based using a seven point Likert scale. Secondly, we could not control who and how many people under each EEM took the survey, so our sample sizes by EEM are not assumed to be equal. Lastly, we found no suitable previous research to draw from to suggest a direction in our hypothesis and an estimated effect size for each EEM. In other words, we could not predict whether occupants in buildings with energy efficiency measures would be more or less satisfied with their space nor could we determine the strength of that prediction. During our initial screening of the data, we realized that the number of respondents for many of the EU incentives were less than 3D, and based on the general understanding of normality and the Central Limit Theorem, were unlikely to provide reliable results. While those results are included in Sections 4.2,4.3, and 4.4 below, we made note of any sample size below 30 respondents. In hopes of effectively eliminating many of the issues of Energy Design lab-Boise Incentive Advanced Energy # 20090207-01) 2009 14 of 30 associated with sample sizes of less than 3D, as well as to make the data more manageable and meaningful, we combined similar measures into what we refer to as EEM 'systems' (S). The EEM 'systems' and their respective individual EEMs are listed below in Table 3 and discussed in detail in section 4.2 Table:3 - EU and BEl' measures combined into "Systems" listed below.

Those four systems are: High Performance windows with a total of 29 respondents, Central Lighting Controls with a total of 8 respondents, Improved Insulation with a total of 5 respondents, and Seven-day two-stage Setback with a total of 7 respondents. We caution the use of the results for these four systems. Advanced 2009 15 of 30 Statistical analysis of the results returned some findings that reject the hypothesis. A summary of results indicating a significant difference for mean satisfaction between Group 1 (occupants in buildings without the measure) and Group 2 (occupants in buildings with the measure) are listed in tables corresponding with each group. Specifically, summarized results for each of the two IPC incentive programs are discussed individually in these tables and the combined EEM systems results are summarized as welL. Detailed results for each BEP measure, EU measure, and combined EEM systems are available in Appendix A. Table 4 below provides a key to match the questions with their abbreviated question codes.

A p-value of .0379 indicates a moderately high statistical significance. Daylight Photo controls resulted in a significant decrease in occupant satisfaction with both the frequency of distractions and abilty to control the physical environment. While this research was not intended to provide conclusions about causality, this result suggests the occupants in spaces with photo control mechanisms are more distracted than those without them. This could be for any number of reasons and would require additional research to prove causality. Possible considerations could include that occupants may find the changes in lighting levels distracting. This could be especially problematic in a space with insufficient daylight or if the photo control system is not properly commissioned. These results do suggest the importance of providing user controls so that occupants feel empowered to adjust their lighting. It is also interesting to note there was no significant difference in satisfaction with the amount of light provided by the system for work. AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) S4 - Efficient Cooling Units - Group 2 (with measure) was less satisfied with the temperature in the workspace with a mean difference of 0.64. A p-value of .0151 indicates a high statistical significance. S5 . Air Side Economizers - Group 2 (with measure) was more satisfied with the temperature in their workspace with a mean difference of 0.77. A p-value of .0103 indicates a high statistical significance. Buildings with 54/ efficient cooling units, suggested lower satisfaction with temperature. Based on the comments we received in the open-ended question section of the survey, Temperature was the number one response occupants gave when asked "What do you like least about your office?". The majority of the occupants that indicated dissatisfaction with temperature described their workspaces as "too cold" especially in the summer months when the space was mechanically cooled! Was this because more complex and non-standard systems require highly specialized commissioning and units were not operating as intended? System 55/ airside economizer, showed an increase in satisfaction with temperature; however, we did not see any change in the satisfaction with the air quality. Does more natural fresh air increase peoples' comfort range? Further research would be necessary to describe causality.

A p-value of .0002 indicates a very high statistical significance. Questions regarding occupant comfort and measures that relate to the building shell returned some interesting results. Measure 57, high performance windows, increased satisfaction with temperature. Measure 58, window shading, improved occupant satisfaction with glare. This suggests that not only do these measures reduce energy use in buildings but they may also increase the overall level of satisfaction with the built environment. Additionally, 58, window shading, also showed increased satisfaction with air quality and aesthetics. It is also interesting to note that no statistically significant differences were shown for satisfaction with the amount of light on the desktop or for computer work, indicating that neither measure had a negative effect on the amount or quality of lighting in the space. While these are exciting results, further research would be necessary to describe causality. Note, 58 had a sample size of only n=29. CONTROLS S9 - Energy Management Sysems .

A p-value of .0306 indicates a moderately high statistical significance. Buildings that received an incentive for energy management systems showed higher satisfaction with the questions regarding thermal comfort, air movement, air quality, and temperature. With this measure we did not see a decrease in satisfaction with the occupant's ability to control their environment leading us to believe that energy management systems improved occupant comfort while not diminishing individual control. Demand Control Ventilation showed that occupants had a higher level of satisfaction with the air quality without affecting their comfort levels in regards to temperature. Could it be that Demand Control Ventilation systems were better able to maintain temperature by only providing the fresh air necessary? Variable speed drives had positive results with several questions. With regard to thermal comfort, they provided occupants with a better feeling of air movement and air quality and did not have an effect on their satisfaction with temperature. People were also more satisfied with the amount of distraction and the amount of background noise. Could this be because there was less background fan noise? Further research would be required to draw conclusions about causality.

A p-value of .0039 indicates high statistical significance. The HVAC unit efficiency measures (Al and A2) generally build upon each other, just increasing in their efficiency requirement. While this study was not designed to prove causality, it is improbable that efficiency alone is responsible for the differences in means and it is reasonable to assume that the differences in satisfaction has more to do with how the air was delivered to the occupant. Buildings with measure A3, complex-cooling systems, suggested lower satisfaction with temperature. Was this because more complex systems require highly specialized commissioning and units were not operating as intended? Additionally was the reaction typically due to being too cold or too warm? Measure A4, air side economizer, showed an increase in satisfaction with temperature; however, we did not see any change in the satisfaction with the air quality. Does more natural fresh air increase peoples' comfort range? Further research would be necessary to describe causality. BUILDING SHELL *BEP:B2 - High Penormance Windows .

A p-value of .0003 indicates a very high statistical significance. Questions regarding occupant comfort and measures that relate to the building shell returned some interesting results. Measure 82, high performance windows, increased satisfaction with temperature. Measure 83, window shading, improved occupant satisfaction with glare. This suggests that not only do these measures reduce energy use in buildings but they may also increase the overall level of satisfaction with the built environment. Additionally, 83, window shading, also showed increased satisfaction with air quality and aesthetics. It is also interesting to note that no statistically significant differences were shown for satisfaction with the amount of light on the desktop or for computer work, indicating that neither measure had a negative effect on the amount or quality of lighting in the space. While these are exciting results, further research would be necessary to describe causality. Note, 82 had a sample size of only n=29. CONTROLS BEP:C2 - Demand Control Ventilation - Group 2 (with measure) was more satisfied with the air quality in their workspace with a mean difference of 0.53.

A p-value of .0001 indicates a very high statistical significance. Measures C2, Demand Control Ventilation (DCV), and C3, Variable Speed Drives (VSD), both showed an increase in satisfaction with the air quality of the space. C3, VSD, also showed higher satisfaction with air movement. It seems that systems equipped with these measures delivered air to occupants in a preferred manner. It is interesting to note that there were no significant differences in satisfaction with temperature indicating that these systems were performing as well as other system types. This research was not intended to provide conclusions about causality and further study would be needed to test this hypothesis.

BEP:L3 - Occupancy Sensors - Group 2 was less satisfied with their abilty to alter physical conditions with a mean difference of 0.64. A p-value of .0083 indicates a very high statistical significance. All three measures (reduced lighting power density, daylight photo controls, and occupancy sensors) significantly decreased occupant satisfaction with their perceived abilty to alter or control their physical environment. While additional research would be required to provide conclusions about causality, this result suggests the importance of providing user controls so that occupants feel empowered to adjust their lighting. It is also interesting to note that for all three measures, there were no significant differences in satisfaction with the amount of light provided by the system for work.

For clarity and simplicity this document wil refer to this tye of lighting control as 'photocontrols. Photocontrols are employed as an energy efficiency strtegy that are intended to reduce the amount of electrc lighting used in a space based upon the daylight available within that space. Photocontrols are strctly an energy effciency measure and their affects upon the lighting in a space can at best go unnoticed by building occupants. Photocontrols are the most complicated tye of lighting control and require the most attention to ensure successful implementation. There are several critical aspects regarding system design and implementation including the tye and quality of the architectural daylighting design, the components that comprise the photocontrol system, the positioning and field of view (FOV) of the photometric sensor, the types of control logics available and the tye and configuration of ballasts. Photocontrol systems are most commonly composed of an iluminance sensor that measures the ilumination at a specific point (tyically mounted on or near the ceiling), a control module that translates the signal from the photocell to a low voltage control signal that is provided to the (dimming) ballast, and finally a light fixtue with lamps that provide variable (continuous dimming or step-dimming) lumen output dependent upon the ballast signaL. Obviously, not all systems are designed the same and varations of system designs wil be addressed as required throughout the document. Previous studies have identified several reasons why the realized energy savings are often not as high as predicted savings however, on some occasions realized energy savings are higher than predicted savings. Many of the previous studies do not suggest what the actual or predicted savings were, they just report a percentage of realized savings. A brief review of these previous studies is offered below. Pigg et al. (1996) reported findings from a study of twelve private offces in a university business building in Wisconsin and found that only half of the rooms showed any savings due to automatic dimming over the II-month monitoring period. No specific savings data were offered for the other rooms and it was noted that all twelve rooms were south facing and several had blinds closed all of the time. Resulting from a seven-month field study in a large federal offce building, Jennings et al. (1999) found that automatic dimming saved on average 29% of the lighting energy, however no predicted savings were offered. McHugh et al. (2004) reported on a field study of 32 spaces with skylights and daylight sensing controls and assessed how much energy was actually saved compared to the savings predicted from eQuest (Hirsch & LBNL, n.d.) energy simulations. Very high realized savings ratios were reported and mean savings was 98% (range 25%-156%). If one low outlier was eliminated all locations saved more than 60%. A follow-up study in 123 sidelit spaces found realized savings ratios to be very low (Heschong, Howlett, McHugh, & Pande, 2005). Half (52%) of the 123 spaces saved zero energy. The half (48%) that saved some energy saved only 53% of what was predicted for a mean realized savings ratio of 23%. Galasiu et al. (2007) reported on a yearlong field study of 86 office workstations in Measurement and Verifcation of of 2009 5 of 28 a single building and found that automatic dimming accounted for 20% lighting energy savings. Finally, in some cases, daylight sensing lighting controls actually resulted in increased energy use (Reinhart & Vos, 2003; Moore et aI., 2003) due to the increased ballast voltage required of dimming ballasts or because of a combination of improper design, commissioning or user operation. Measurement and Verifcation of Daylightìngor Lab-Boise Advanced Energy # 20090205-01) Five buildings were selected for monitoring from Idaho Power Companýs list of buildings with daylight photocontrol incentives. 01 Office 68,000 South Open Offces 3,250 Chubbuk, ID Northeast Open Offces 1,333 Nort Open Offces 4,620 East Open Offces 1,632 02 Element School 65,000 944 Nam a,ID 03 Manufacture/Offce 60,600 4,600 Hailey, ID 1,017 04 Offce/Medical 21,104 1,300 Boise,ID 1,342 05 Warehouse/Manufacture 5,400 1,432 Caldwell, ID At each building included in this study, lighting circuits were selected for data logging one of two ways. Either all of the photocontrolled circuits across the entire building were monitored or a representative sample of circuits was selected. Details are offered in Section 4 describing which circuits were selected for logging at each individual building. Once the circuits were selected, the monitoring protocol included placing a power meter and current transformers (Dent ElitePro Energy) on lighting circuits or establishing trend logs in building energy managements systems (EMS) to capture lighting energy consumption. Data were collected until sunny and cloudy conditions were recorded, typically for a period of two weeks to two months. This was done in order to ensure photocontrol performance was captured under a range of sky conditions. In some cases, long-term performance data was available from trend logs in the EMS. Exterior illumination and sky cover data during the monitoring period were collected as well, either on site or from nearby weather stations. In order to establish the baseline energy consumption for each monitored circuit the total connected load in kW for each circuit was multiplied by the normal operating hours (less holidays) during the study period. The total connected load for each monitored circuit was determined from logged data and checked against available drawings and lighting fixture schedules. If monitoring data for a circuit showed Lab~Boíse a substantial difference in connected load as compared to the drawings, the maximum kW loads from the monitoring data were used. The normal operating hours were recorded for each building studied by questioning the staff on site. The actual energy use of each monitored circuit was found by summing the logged data for each circuit during the occupied operating hours. When occupancy sensors were present (was the case for just one circuit) we reported savings for the combined system (occupancy+photocontrols) as well as an estimate of the savings attributable to photocontrols alone. This is all that was necessary to provide energy savings data for the specific circuits monitored over the monitoring period. Determining annual energy savings estimates for the study areas required additional steps. One of two possible methods was used to extrapolate savings from the monitoring period to the whole year. The data analysis method selected depended upon the type and duration of monitoring data and supporting data available. Every effort was made to ensure the most accurate translations to annual energy estimates, however there is inherently error in this step due to the annual variabilty of daylight available. Even though multiple sky conditions were recorded and analyzed during the monitoring period, these data can only be approximately correlated with annual weather phenomenon. Furthermore, the annual energy savings estimates rely upon Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather data, which is an approximation of a typical weather year and may not represent a particular weather year. The two possible annual extrapolation methods are outlined below. Annual Extrapolation method 1: When long-term lighting energy use data were available from trend logs in an EMS, samples were selected under different sky conditions and at different times of year. These savings data were binned and referenced with TMY3 weather data to derive annual savings estimates. Annual Extrapolation method 2: If long-term data were not available we established a detailed relationship between the monitored lighting circuit energy use data, hours of daylight availability, exterior ilumination and cloud cover data as reported by nearby weather stations. When obvious dimming or switching trends were found relative to a specific outdoor ilumination values or durations after/before sunrise/sunset, these trends were referenced with TMY3 illumination or sunrise/sunset data to determine the annual periods of savings potentiaL. As necessary, additional resolution related to cloud cover and exterior illumination were considered. These relationships were then referenced with TMY3 weather data in order to translate the measured savings across the entire year. Annual Extrapolation Method 1 is expected to be more accurate, however long-term data were only available for one building (Building 02). We have reasonably high confidence in the accuracy of both methods for the purposes of this study. and Verification of Daylighting lab~ßoise Advanced :# 20090205~()1) Table :1 Percent Energy Saved During Mcmltorìng Period For Regular Operating Hours South 0 en Offces Northeast Open Offces Nort 0 en Offices Sideli htin 0.6% East 0 n Offces Sideli tin 47.4% 02 Elementary Nampa,Aug. 25-Sept. 5,Classroom 420 Sidelighting/73.4* - School ID 2008 Toplighting 78.1%* Dec. 1-12, 2008 03 Manufactue/Hailey, ID Aug. 13-28, 71.8% Office 2009 0% 04 Offce/Boise, ID Feb. 26-May 5,51-73% Medical 2009 May 25-June 12,Nurses' Station 75.2-82.2% 2009 05 Warehouse/Caldwell,Mar.9-Apr.14,Medium Bay 30.7-89.5% Manufacture ID 2009 * See Section 4.2.3 for explanation; these values included savings from occupancy sensors in addition photocontrols.

Despite steps to correlate measure data with annual daylight availability, the annual savings estimates are conservatively biased for this site since data were logged during winter conditions. Commissioning the north zone logged with Channel 3 is expected to produce additional energy saving since the northeast zone logged with Channel 2 showed substantial energy savings. Channel four, serving the east side of this space did not have savings that translated well from the study period to an annual savings. From looking at the data it appears users would override the photocontrols by switching the lights off entirely. This user interface, being unpredictable, was not taken into consideration when the annual energy savings was modeled. Therefore, annual predicted savings are lower than might be expected given the monitored period savings shown in Table 4 and Table 5. Measurement and Verification of of Photocontm!s; Advanced EnergyLab~Boise :#2009 Page 14 of 28 This elementary school, located in Nampa, ID, has some classrooms with photocontrols and some classrooms without. Two adjacent classrooms were studied. Room 410 is 992 SF and does not have photocontrols, while Room 420 is 944 SF and has photocontrols. The small difference in size is due to a small corner tutoring room that is accessed from the hallway and extends in to classroom 420. Figure 1 Floor Plan of 02 highlighting the study areas Operational Hours: 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday though Friday. Daylighting and Electric Lighting: Room 420 has daylight provided by south clerestory windows and translucent skylights at the back of the space. The electrc lighting system consists of direct/indirect fluorescent fixtues with dimming ballasts and T8 lamps. The control strategy utilizes an integrated daylighting and electric lighting system with photocells and occupancy sensors. The lighting power density is 0.89 watts/sf. The daylight harvesting system uses a WattStopper LS-290c photocell, and LCD-203dimming module and BT -203 Power Pack. The photocell is placed in the skylight well, looking Measurement of Lab~ßoíse (Report #Page 15 of :28 toward the translucent skylights and the sensitivity was set accordingly. Room 410 has daylight provided from south clerestory windows only. The electrc lighting system utilizes direct fluorescent parabolic tougher fixtures and has a lighting power density is 1.1 watts/sf. This room has occupancy sweep controls but no photocontrols. Monitoring Period: August 25-September 5, 2008 and December 1-12,2008 Other: At this building, long-term trend log data were available. Therefore a sample of data from extreme weather periods and solar angles were selected from across the school year. The energy use figures presented represent an average performance over the periods sampled. Measured energy savings during the two monitoring periods are reported in Table 6 and Table 7. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 8 using the monitoring data and Annual Extrapolation Method 1 as described in Section 2.3 source not found.

Savings reported in Classroom 410 are from a combination of occupancy sensor switching and manual wall switching. The savings reported in Classroom 420 are from a combination of photocontrols, occupancy sensor switching and manual wall switching. These data are confounded since the photocontrol system switches lights off in addition to dimming. Therefore, it is impossible to extract savings from "dim-to-off instances from occupancy or manual wall switching instances. Occupancy signal data were not available, and even if they were, manual wall switching data would stil be confounded with photocontrolled dim-to-off savings. For these reasons, Table 8 estimates the savings due to photocontrols only by subtracting the savings found from occupancy and manual wall switching during normal working hours in Classroom 410 (55.8%) from the savings presented in Classroom 420 (75.75%), resulting in an estimated 19.95% photocontrol savings. The estimated savings in kWh/SF*YR was obtained by reducing 1.65 kWh/SF*YR reported for Classroom 420 by (1-(19.95%/75.75%)=73.6%), resulting in 0.43 kWh/SF*YR). Obviously, the occupancy and wall switching patterns in Classroom 410 and 420 are not likely to be exactly the same. However, their use patterns are believed to be similar enough for these estimates. From informal surveys, users are satisfied with the photocontrol system performance in room 420. Measurement and Verifìcatìon of lab-Boise 2009 Page 11 of 28 This manufactuing and offce building, located in Hailey, ID, has two areas (the manufacturing floor and the offices) with daylighting photocontrols totaling 5,625 SF. The manufacturing floor is 4,600 SF and the offices are 1,017 SF. Operational Honrs: Both spaces are occupied Monday through Friday from 7 :00 AM to 6:00 PM. The facility also has operating hours on the weekend but due to limited hours and inconsistent use only weekday hours were considered in this analysis. Daylighting and Electric Lighting: The manufacturig space is top lit with (4) 8' x 27' linear skylights organized in a line centered on the space. There are also large glazed roll-up doors. The manufacturing area is electrically lit with (16) high-bay fixtures each with (6) 54-watt T5 high output (54WT5HO) lamps. Daylight is introduced to the offce area through perimeter windows that ru from floor to ceilng. The office area is electrically lit with (16) direct/indirect 2-lamp fixtures using 28-watt T5 lamps. The photocontrol system is a WattStopper multi-level switching tye using a LCO-203 control module. The electric lights are controlled by an exterior roof-mounted photocell in the manufacturing floor and by a ceiling mounted photocell facing the window wall in the offces. Both photo sensors are mounted in accordance with manufactuers recommendations. The system was installed by a local electrical contractor and was commissioned and verified by a representative from WattStopper. Monitoring Period: Lighting energy use was logged for a 12-day period from August 13 - August 28, 2009, including i 10 regular working hours. Other: One lighting circuit in the offce area and two circuits in the manufacturing area were logged. Measured energy savings during the monitoring period are reported in Table 9. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 10 using the monitoring data and Annual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3.

From informal surveys, users are satisfied with the photocontrol system performance. We were unable to identify savings in the office area during the monitoring period. Upon inspecting the lighting control interface, the switching level for this circuit is set too high, at 300 Footcandles. A value of 300 Footcandles at this photocell corresponds to an ilumination level well above what is sufficient for offices. However, several interior design decisions were made that are counter to good daylit design practices in these offices. The first row of workstations nearest the windows is designed such that occupants' backs to the windows and produces glare on the computer screen and forces occupants to close binds reducing useful daylight. The blinds in the space are full length and roll down from the head of the window. Bottom up blinds would allow users to control glare while stil allowing daylight penetration deeper into the space. Finally, all interior finishes are black, which produces a very low internal reflected component and a sense of dimness, and increases perceived visual contrast. From the perspective of daylighting, visual comfort and energy savings, the offce areas would benefit from both photocontrol system re-commissioning and interior design modifications. MeaSUrement of 2009 19 of 28 This medical facility, located in Boise, ID, has two areas (main lobby and a nurses' station) with daylighting photocontrols. The main lobby is 1,300 SF and nurses' station is 1,342 SF. Operational Hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM Friday Daylighting and Electric Lighting: Both study areas have translucent skylight monitors and transparent clerestory windows in four directions. The electric lighting system uses direct/indirect pendant fixtures, with (3) T8 lamps in cross-section. A SwitchPak 8 relay lighting control panel by Synergy Lighting Controls is connected to the photocontrolled circuits. This system utilized step-switching with one circuit controllng two lamps and another circuit controlling one lamp in the three lamp cross-section per fixtue. Therefore, four lighting levels are possible, all off, one lamp, two lamps or three lamps on. Both areas are controlled with a single photocell located in the nurses' station, mounted on the top of a 10' tall parial height wall. Monitoring Period: February 26 - May 5, 2009 and May 25 - June 12, 2009 Other: During the monitoring period, it was found that occupants were dissatisfied with frequent switching of the photocontrol system. Therefore a commissioning effort occured which lengthened our monitoring period and resulted in new control hardware being installed. Subsequently, this allowed us to report pre-commissioning and post-commissioning pedormance data. Measured energy savings during the (pre-commissioned' period are reported in Table 11. Measured energy savings during the (post-commissioned' period are reported in Table 12. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 13 using the post-commissioned data and Annual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3.

During the first monitoring period occupants were very unhappy with the frequency with which the lights switched on and off. A commissioning effort that was conducted after the first monitoring period revealed a damaged circuit board in the photocontrol system. The circuit board was replaced and reprogrammed. The dead band settings for switching levels were adjusted to minimize occupant distraction from switching. After commissioning was complete, we conducted a second phase of monitoring to determine any additional savings due to commissioning. Upon informal discussions with occupants after commissioning, the frequency of switching was still an issue but was much improved after commissioning. of 2009 Page 21 of 28 The study space is a light industrial manufacturing building in Caldwell, ID, with a total of 5,400 SF (732 SF of offce and 4,668 SF of medium bay warehouse). The study space was confined to the 4,668SF warehouse. Operational Hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday Daylighting and Electric Lighting: Thirteen 3'x 1 0' trnslucent skylight panels are built into the metal roof system and comprise a skylight to floor area ratio of 8.4%. The space is electrically iluminated by chain hung, direct florescent fixtures utilizing two (2) 48" T8 32-watt lamps with electronic ballasts. The lighting system is controlled with two circuits and both were monitored. One circuit has 14 fixtures and is controlled by a photocontrol system and a wall switch. The second circuit has 28 fixtues and is controlled by a wall switch only. A WattStopper model LS-lOOXB control system is used for daylight harvesting and the photocell is positioned vertically in a skylight well (open-loop configuration). The photocell has an adjustable dead band, switching set point, and time delay. The WattStopper system is configued with basic on/off switching has no time clock control, and no external control panel to provide switching inputs such as occupancy scheduling or occupancy detecting. Monitoring Period: March 9 to April 14,2009,37 calendar days, 27 working days, 250 working hours Measured energy savings on a '9-hour workday basis' are reported in Table 15. Due to user related trends in the photocontrolled data, the energy consumption was also analyzed on a 24-hour basis. Measured energy savings on a '24-hours basis' are reported in Table 16. The data showed a clear trend regarding when the lighting system switched off and back on. It consistently switched off approximately one hour after sunrise and switched back on approximately one hour before sunset. This is logical given the abundant daylight design; therefore Anual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3 was selected. Anual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 18 using the '9-hour workday' data. The additional savings due to commissioning are reported in Table 17. 4.5.2.1 9-hour workday based analysis The total connected lighting load for the study space is 2,604 watts (0.55 W/SF), well below the lighting power density allowable by code. The photocontrolled circuit has a connected load of 870 watts and the lighting circuit controlled only by a wall switch has a connected load of 1,700 watts. The photocontrolled circuit can only be tured on with the photocontrol and can be turned off with the wall switch or photocontrol. Figure 3 below shows the logged data for a tyical 24-hour period.

Tabie 18 Building 05 Estimated Annual Energy Savings in Study Area Annual energy saving would be approximately 1,790 kWh per year during daylight hours with the system operating as installed. However, if all hours (including summer nights) were considered the savings would be less. Graph 3 reveals excessive nighttime energy use during thee nights. It appears as though users forgot to switch off the photocontrolled circuit when they were done workig on these days. The sun was stil up at the end of normal working hours and the photocontrolled circuit was stil switched off, as it should have been. However, it was the daylight harvesting that had turned the lights off, but the wall switch was stil on. After the sun set, long after normal work hour, the photocontrols appropriately switched the lights back on due to the lack of daylight available. The lights then remained on all night. The lights then switched offby the photocontrol in the morning before workers returned. Therefore, it seems the error went unnoticed for days on end. Durng the monitoring period, it was found that 29 out of 37 nights (78%) the lights were left on. This nighttime lighting use would occur for approximately 10 hours per night for approximately six months of the year due to after workday sunset times when the control problem could go unoticed. Using 78% of the nights over a six-month periods and an average of 10 hours per night of unintended consumption, there would be approximately 1260 hours of unintended nighttime energy use. This results in approximately 1,096 kWh, thus reducing photocontrol system savings to 694 kWh per year for the circuit monitored in the study area. Measurement and Verification of Lab~Bo¡se # 2009 25 of 28 This problem could easily be solved with improved design. Incorporating some tye of occupancy sensor and/or an automatic nighttime sweep would solve the problem. In this specific project a $75 dollar industrial timer was used to control the exterior building lighting. That same type of timer could be incorporated into the photocontrol circuit. Another option would be to incorporate a small LED indicator light to alert occupants that the lighting system is stil on even though the lights are switched off due to daylight harvesting. This option was in fact recommended for this project but was never followed up on, or related to the proper people (Norfleet Photo Control Incentive Letter-8/8/07). Another option would be an occupancy sensor, which could sweep lights off when occupants are not present. Finally, a momentary switch could be used instead of a relay switch to turn the lights on, such that the lights would not come back on automatically as daylight tapers off at the end of the day. Measurement and Verifcation of of Photocontrols: Advanced Lab~Bo¡se # The savings due to photocontrols for the ten circuits monitored at five buildings for the regular operating hours during the monitoring periods ranged from 0-89.5% with an average of 51% savings. The estimated annual energy savings due to photocontrols during regular operating hours ranged from 0-88% with an average 26.9%, while the estimated savings per square foot per year range from 0-1.26 kWh/SF*YR. Five circuits monitored had daylight from sidelighting only while five circuits had daylight from toplighting of some type. While this is a small sample, the energy savings in spaces with a toplighting component were generally higher than those with sidelighting only, supporting previous studies (McHugh et aI., 2004 and Heschong et aI., 2005). Specifically, circuits with sidelighting only produced 0-47% savings during regularly occupied hours in the monitoring period with an average of 21.8%. The figures for monitored circuits in spaces with toplighting were consistently higher ranging from 30.7-89.5% with an average of 68.1%. Sidelit spaces were estimated to save 0-24.7% annually with an average of 11.24% and 0-0.5 kWh/SF*YR with an average of 0.25 kWh/SF*YR. Spaces with toplighting were estimated to save from 19.95-88% annual with an average of 42.55% and 0.45-1.26 kWh/SF*YR with an average of 0.89 kWh/SF*YR. Three circuits were logged in a manner to provide pre and post commissioning data. During the monitoring periods, post-commissioned circuits saved 7%, 22%, and 58.8% more than the same pre-commissioned photocontrolled circuits. When comparing energy savings data between sites it is important to consider the differences in regularly occupied hours. This report used each building's regularly occupied hours to determine the baseline energy consumption of the photocontrolled lighting circuits. The greater the percentage of regularly operating hours falling during daylight hours, the greater the savings potential for photocontrolled circuits in that building. Realized energy savings from photocontrolled systems result from the combination of a well designed building, well designed lighting control systems, and proper system installation, commissioning and user operation. Errors in any of these steps can diminish savings. For example, a space with consistently low daylight levels or one with excessive glare such that blinds are usually closed will produce little savings despite properly installed and commissioned photocontrol systems. However, exemplary execution in one or more of these steps can increase the overall system robustness and improve savings. For example, a very well daylit building can make up for improper commissioning in some cases because photocontrol systems are more forgiving when there is abundant daylight. User operation practices can also dramatically increase or decrease savings depending on if they understand the intention of the systems and on the level of satisfaction with the daylighting design, electric lighting design or the photocontrol system. Photocontrol systems should always be commissioned, users should be education as to the intention of the design, and proper operational documentation should be provided to the building owner or operator.

For clarity and simplicity this document wil refer to this tye of lighting control as 'photocontrols. Photocontrols are employed as an energy effciency strtegy that are intended to reduce the amount of electrc lighting used in a space based upon the daylight available within that space. Photocontrols are strctly an energy efficiency measure and their affects upon the lighting in a space can at best go unnoticed by building occupants. Photocontrols are the most complicated type of lighting control and require the most attention to ensure successful implementation. There are several critical aspects regarding system design and implementation including the tye and quality of the architectual day lighting design, the components that comprise the photocontrol system, the positioning and field of view (FOV) ofthe photometrc sensor, the tyes of control logics available and the type and configuration of ballasts. Photocontrol systems are most commonly composed of an iluminance sensor that measures the ilumination at a specific point (tyically mounted on or near the ceiling), a control module that translates the signal from the photocell to a low voltage control signal that is provided to the (dimming) ballast, and finally a light fixtue with lamps that provide varable (continuous dimming or step-dimming) lumen output dependent upon the ballast signaL. Obviously, not all systems are designed the same and variations of system designs wil be addressed as required throughout the document. Previous studies have identified several reasons why the realized energy savings are often not as high as predicted savings however, on some occasions realized energy savings are higher than predicted savings. Many of the previous studies do not suggest what the actual or predicted savings were, they just report a percentage of realized savings. A brief review of these previous studies is offered below. Pigg et al. (1996) reported findings from a study of twelve private offices in a university business building in Wisconsin and found that only half of the rooms showed any savings due to automatic dimming over the II-month monitoring period. No specific savings data were offered for the other rooms and it was noted that all twelve rooms were south facing and several had blinds closed all of the time. Resulting from a seven-month field study in a large federal offce building, Jennings et al. (1999) found that automatic dimming saved on average 29% of the lighting energy, however no predicted savings were offered. McHugh et al. (2004) reported on a field study of 32 spaces with skylights and daylight sensing controls and assessed how much energy was actually saved compared to the savings predicted from eQuest (Hirsch & LBNL, n.d.) energy simulations. Very high realized savings ratios were reported and mean savings was 98% (range 25%-156%). If one low outlier was eliminated all locations saved more than 60%. A follow-up study in 123 sidelit spaces found realized savings ratios to be very low (Heschong, Howlett, McHugh, & Pande, 2005). Half (52%) of the 123 spaces saved zero energy. The half (48%) that saved some energy saved only 53% of what was predicted for a mean realized savings ratio of 23 %. Galasiu et al. (2007) reported on a yearlong field study of 86 offce workstations in lab-Boise a single building and found that automatic dimming accounted for 20% lighting energy savings. Finally, in some cases, daylight sensing lighting controls actually resulted in increased energy use (Reinhart & Vos, 2003; Moore et aI., 2003) due to the increased ballast voltage required of dimming ballasts or because of a combination of improper design, commissioning or user operation.

Either all of the photocontrolled circuits across the entire building were monitored or a representative sample of circuits was selected. Details are offered in Section 4 describing which circuits were selected for logging at each individual building. Once the circuits were selected, the monitoring protocol included placing a power meter and current transformers (Dent ElitePro Energy) on lighting circuits or establishing trend logs in building energy managements systems (EMS) to capture lighting energy consumption. Data were collected until sunny and cloudy conditions were recorded, typically for a period of two weeks to two months. This was done in order to ensure photocontrol performance was captured under a range of sky conditions. In some cases, long-term performance data was available from trend logs in the EMS. Exterior illumination and sky cover data during the monitoring period were collected as well, either on site or from nearby weather stations. In order to establish the baseline energy consumption for each monitored circuit the total connected load in kW for each circuit was multiplied by the normal operating hours (less holidays) during the study period. The total connected load for each monitored circuit was determined from logged data and checked against available drawings and lighting fixture schedules. If monitoring data for a circuit showed Measurement and University of of 2009 Page 1 of 28Lab~Boíse a substantial difference in connected load as compared to the drawings, the maximum kW loads from the monitoring data were used. The normal operating hours were recorded for each building studied by questioning the staff on site. The actual energy use of each monitored circuit was found by summing the logged data for each circuit during the occupied operating hours. When occupancy sensors were present (was the case for just one circuit) we reported savings for the combined system (occupancy+photocontrols) as well as an estimate of the savings attributable to photocontrols alone. This is all that was necessary to provide energy savings data for the specific circuits monitored over the monitoring period. Determining annual energy savings estimates for the study areas required additional steps. One of two possible methods was used to extrapolate savings from the monitoring period to the whole year. The data analysis method selected depended upon the type and duration of monitoring data and supporting data available. Every effort was made to ensure the most accurate translations to annual energy estimates, however there is inherently error in this step due to the annual variability of daylight available. Even though multiple sky conditions were recorded and analyzed during the monitoring period, these data can only be approximately correlated with annual weather phenomenon. Furthermore, the annual energy savings estimates rely upon Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather data, which is an approximation of a typical weather year and may not represent a particular weather year. The two possible annual extrapolation methods are outlined below. Annual Extrapolation method 1: When long-term lighting energy use data were available from trend logs in an EMS, samples were selected under different sky conditions and at different times of year. These savings data were binned and referenced with TMY3 weather data to derive annual savings estimates. Annual Extrapolation method 2: If long-term data were not available we established a detailed relationship between the monitored lighting circuit energy use data, hours of daylight availability, exterior illumination and cloud cover data as reported by nearby weather stations. When obvious dimming or switching trends were found relative to a specific outdoor ilumination values or durations after/before sunrise/sunset, these trends were referenced with TMY3 illumination or sunrise/sunset data to determine the annual periods of savings potentiaL. As necessary, additional resolution related to cloud cover and exterior illumination were considered. These relationships were then referenced with TMY3 weather data in order to translate the measured savings across the entire year. Annual Extrapolation Method 1 is expected to be more accurate, however long-term data were only available for one building (Building 02). We have reasonably high confidence in the accuracy of both methods for the purposes of this stuçly.

Despite steps to correlate measure data with annual daylight availabilty, the annual savings estimates are conservatively biased for this site since data were logged during winter conditions. Commissioning the north zone logged with Channel 3 is expected to produce additional energy saving since the northeast zone logged with Channel 2 showed substantial energy savings. Channel four, serving the east side of this space did not have savings that translated well from the study period to an annual savings. From looking at the data it appears users would override the photocontrols by switching the lights off entirely. This user interface, being unpredictable, was not taken into consideration when the annual energy savings was modeled. Therefore, annual predicted savings are lower than might be expected given the monitored period savings shown in Table 4 and Table S. Measurement and Verification of of Advanced Energy :# 20090205~01) This elementary school, located in Nampa, ID, has some classrooms with photocontrols and some classrooms without. Two adjacent classrooms were studied. Room 410 is 992 SF and does not have photocontrols, while Room 420 is 944 SF and has photocontrols. The small difference in size is due to a small comer tutoring room that is accessed from the hallway and extends in to classroom 420. figure 1 - Heor Plan of 131.Hding 02 highlighting the study areas Operational Hours: 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Daylighting and Electric Lighting: Room 420 has daylight provided by south clerestory windows and translucent skylights at the back of the space. The electric lighting system consists of direct/indirect fluorescent fixtures with dimming ballasts and T8 lamps. The control strategy utilzes an integrated day lighting and electric lighting system with photocells and occupancy sensors. The lighting power density is 0.89 watts/sf. The daylight harvesting system uses a WattS topper LS-290c photocell, and LCD-203dimming module and BT -203 Power Pack. The photocell is placed in the skylight well, looking of Desìgn Lab-Boise 2009 15 of 28 toward the translucent skylights and the sensitivity was set accordingly. Room 410 has daylight provided from south clerestory windows only. The electric lighting system utilzes direct fluorescent parabolic tougher fixtures and has a lighting power density is 1.1 watts/sf. This room has occupancy sweep controls but no photocontrols. Monitoring Period: August 25-September 5, 2008 and December 1-12,2008 Other: At this building, long-term trend log data were available. Therefore a sample of data from extreme weather periods and solar angles were selected from across the school year. The energy use figures presented represent an average performance over the periods sampled. Measured energy savings during the two monitoring periods are reported in Table 6 and Table 7. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 8 using the monitoring data and Annual Extrapolation Method 1 as described in Section 2.3 source not found. Table 6 02.

Savings reported in Classroom 410 are from a combination of occupancy sensor switching and manual wall switching. The savings reported in Classroom 420 are from a combination of photocontrols, occupancy sensor switching and manual wall switching. These data are confounded since the photocontrol system switches lights off in addition to dimming. Therefore, it is impossible to extract savings from "dim-to-oft' instances from occupancy or manual wall switching instances. Occupancy signal data were not available, and even if they were, manual wall switching data would stil be confounded with photocontrolled dim-to-off savings. For these reasons, Table 8 estimates the savings due to photocontrols only by subtracting the savings found from occupancy and manual wall switching during normal working hours in Classroom 410 (55.8%) from the savings presented in Classroom 420 (75.75%), resulting in an estimated 19.95% photocontrol savings. The estimated savings in kWh/SF*YR was obtained by reducing 1.65 kWh/SF*YR reported for Classroom 420 by (1-(19.95%/75.75%)=73.6%), resulting in 0.43 kWh/SF*YR). Obviously, the occupancy and wall switching patterns in Classroom 410 and 420 are not likely to be exactly the same. However, their use patterns are believed to be similar enough for these estimates. From informal surveys, users are satisfied with the photocontrol system performance in room 420. Advanced #. This manufactuing and office building, located in Hailey, ID, has two areas (the manufacturing floor and the offices) with daylighting photocontrols totaling 5,625 SF. The manufacturing floor is 4,600 SF and the offces are 1,017 SF. Operational Hours: Both spaces are occupied Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The facility also has operating hours on the weekend but due to limited hours and inconsistent use only weekday hours were considered in this analysis. Daylighting and Electric Lighting: The manufactuing space is top lit with (4) 8' x 27' linear skylights organized in a line centered on the space. There are also large glazed roll-up doors. The manufactung area is electrically lit with (16) high-bay fixtures each with (6) 54-watt T5 high output (54WT5HO) lamps. Daylight is introduced to the offce area through perimeter windows that run from floor to ceiling. The office area is electrically lit with (16) direct/indirect 2-lamp fixtures using 28-watt T5 lamps. The photocontrol system is a WattStopper multi-level switching tye using a LCO-203 control module. The electric lights are controlled by an exterior roof-mounted photocell in the manufacturing floor and by a ceiling mounted photocell facing the window wall in the offces. Both photosensors are mounted in accordance with manufactuers recommendations. The system was installed by a local electrical contractor and was commissioned and verified by a representative from WattStopper. Monitoring Period: Lighting energy use was logged for a 12-day period from August 13 - August 28, 2009, including 110 regular working hours. Other: One lighting circuit in the offce area and two circuits in the manufactuing area were logged. Measured energy savings during the monitoring period are reported in Table 9. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 10 using the monitoring data and Annual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3.

From informal surveys, users are satisfied with the photocontrol system performance. We were unable to identify savings in the office area during the monitoring period. Upon inspecting the lighting control interface, the switching level for this circuit is set too high, at 300 Footcandles. A value of 300 Footcandles at this photocell corresponds to an ilumination level well above what is sufficient for offices. However, several interior design decisions were made that are counter to good daylit design practices in these offices. The first row of workstations nearest the windows is designed such that occupants' backs to the windows and produces glare on the computer screen and forces occupants to close binds reducing useful daylight. The blinds in the space are full length and roll down from the head of the window. Bottom up blinds would allow users to control glare while still allowing daylight penetration deeper into the space. Finally, all interior finishes are black, which produces a very low internal reflected component and a sense of dimness, and increases perceived visual contrast. From the perspective of daylighting, visual comfort and energy savings, the office areas would benefit from both photocontrol system re-commissioning and interior design modifications. Measurement and Verification of Daylighting of This medical facility, located in Boise, ID, has two areas (main lobby and a nurses' station) with daylighting photocontrols. The main lobby is 1,300 SF and nurses' station is 1,342 SF. Operational Hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday and 8:00 AM to 1 :00 PM Friday Daylighting and Electric Lighting: Both study areas have translucent skylight monitors and transparent clerestory windows in four directions. The electric lighting system uses direct/indirect pendant fixtures, with (3) T8lamps in cross-section. A SwitchPak 8 relay lighting control panel by Synergy Lighting Controls is connected to the photocontrolled circuits. This system utilized step-switching with one circuit controllng two lamps and another circuit controllng one lamp in the three lamp cross-section per fixture. Therefore, four lighting levels are possible, all off, one lamp, two lamps or three lamps on. Both areas are controlled with a single photocell located in the nurses' station, mounted on the top of a 10' tall parial height wall. Monitoring Period: February 26 - May 5, 2009 and May 25 - June 12,2009 Other: Durig the monitoring period, it was found that occupants were dissatisfied with frequent switching of the photocontrol system. Therefore a commissioning effort occured which lengtened our monitoring period and resulted in new control hardware being installed. Subsequently, this allowed us to report pre-commissioning and post-commissioning performance data. Measured energy savings during the 'pre-commissioned' period are reported in Table 11. Measured energy savings during the 'post-commissioned' period are reported in Table 12. Annual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 13 using the post-commissioned data and Annual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3. The additional savings due to commissioning are reported in Table 14.

During the first monitoring period occupants were very unhappy with the frequency with which the lights switched on and off. A commissioning effort that was conducted after the first monitoring period revealed a damaged circuit board in the photocontrol system. The circuit board was replaced and reprogrammed. The dead band settings for switching levels were adjusted to minimize occupant distraction from switching. After commissioning was complete, we conducted a second phase of monitoring to determine any additional savings due to commissioning. Upon informal discussions with occupants after commissioning, the frequency of switching was still an issue but was much improved after commissioning. Measurement and Verification of 2009 21 of 28Lab-Boise The study space is a light industrial manufacturing building in Caldwell, ID, with a total of 5,400 SF (732 SF of office and 4,668 SF of medium bay warehouse). The study space was confined to the 4,668SF warehouse. Operational Hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday Daylighting and Electric Lightig: Thirteen 3'xlO' translucent skylight panels are built into the metal roof system and comprise a skylight to floor area ratio of 8.4%. The space is electrically iluminated by chain hung, direct florescent fixtures utilizing two (2) 48" T8 32-watt lamps with electronic ballasts. The lighting system is controlled with two circuits and both were monitored. One circuit has 14 fixtues and is controlled by a photocontrol system and a wall switch. The second circuit has 28 fixtues and is controlled by a wall switch only. A WattStopper model LS-lOOXB control system is used for daylight harvesting and the photocell is positioned vertically in a skylight well (open-loop configuration). The photocell has an adjustable dead band, switching set point, and time delay. The WattStopper system is configued with basic on/off switching has no time clock control, and no external control panel to provide switching inputs such as occupancy scheduling or occupancy detecting. Monitoring Period: March 9 to April 14, 2009, 37 calendar days, 27 working days, 250 working hours Measured energy savings on a '9-hour workday basis' are reported in Table 15. Due to user related trends in the photocontrolled data, the energy consumption was also analyzed on a 24-hour basis. Measured energy savings on a '24-hours basis' are reported in Table 16. The data showed a clear trend regarding when the lighting system switched off and back on. It consistently switched off approximately one hour after sunrise and switched back on approximately one hour before sunset. This is logical given the abundant daylight design; therefore Anual Extrapolation Method 2 as described in Section 2.3 was selected. Anual estimated energy savings data are reported in Table 18 using the '9-hour workday' data. The additional savings due to commissioning are reported in Table 17. 4.5.2.1 9-hour workday based analysis The total connected lighting load for the study space is 2,604 watts (0.55 W/SF), well below the lighting power density allowable by code. The photocontrolled circuit has a connected load of 870 watts and the lighting circuit controlled only by a wall switch has a connected load of 1,700 watts. The photocontrolled circuit can only be turned on with the photocontrol and can be turned off with the wall switch or photocontrol. Figure 3 below shows the logged data for a typical 24-hour period.

Of this, only 68 kWh was used during working hours and 384 kWh was used after working hours. Over the study period and on a 24-hour basis, the total energy use logged for the photocontrolled circuit was 317 kWh and the standard wall switch lighting circuit was just 134 kWh. Measurement and of of #- Table 11- Building 05 Estimated Energy Savings Due to Commissioning During the Monitoring Period 4.5.2.3 Estimated Annual Energy Savings This analysis was conducted based upon the 9-hour workday analysis period. Table 1B 05 Annual Energy Savings in Area 0.87 2,036 246 1,790 88% 0.41 Anual energy saving would be approximately 1,790 kWh per year durg daylight hours with the system operating as installed. However, if all hour (including summer nights) were considered the savings would be less. Graph 3 reveals excessive nighttime energy use durg three nights. It appears as though users forgot to switch off the photocontrolled circuit when they were done working on these days. The sun was stil up at the end of normal working hours and the photocontrolled circuit was stil switched off, as it should have been. However, it was the daylight harvesting that had turned the lights off, but the wall switch was stil on. After the sun set, long after normal work hours, the photocontrols appropriately switched the lights back on due to the lack of daylight available. The lights then remained on all night. The lights then switched offby the photocontrol in the morning before workers returned. Therefore, it seems the error went unoticed for days on end. During the monitoring period, it was found that 29 out of 37 nights (78%) the lights were left on. This nighttime lighting use would occur for approximately 10 hours per night for approximately six months of the year due to after workday sunset times when the control problem could go unnoticed. Using 78% of the nights over a six-month periods and an average of 10 hours per night of unintended consumption, there would be approximately i 260 hours of unintended nighttime energy use. This results in approximately 1,096 kWh, thus reducing photocontrol system savings to 694 kWh per year for the circuit monitored in the study area. Measurement and Verifìcatkm of of Lab~Boíse # This problem could easily be solved with improved design. Incorporating some tye of occupancy sensor and/or an automatic nighttime sweep would solve the problem. In this specific project a $75 dollar industrial timer was used to control the exterior building lighting. That same type of timer could be incorporated into the photocontrol circuit. Another option would be to incorporate a small LED indicator light to alert occupants that the lighting system is stil on even though the lights are switched off due to daylight harvesting. This option was in fact recommended for this project but was never followed up on, or related to the proper people (Norfeet Photo Control Incentive Letter-8/8/07). Another option would be an occupancy sensor, which could sweep lights off when occupants are not present. Finally, a momenta switch could be used instead of a relay switch to tum the lights on, such that the lights would not come back on automatically as daylight tapers off at the end of the day. Measurement and Verification of Design Lab~Boíse 2009 Page 26 of 28 The savings due to photocontrols for the ten circuits monitored at five buildings for the regular operating hours during the monitoring periods ranged from 0-89.5% with an average of 51% savings. The estimated annual energy savings due to photocontrols during regular operating hours ranged from 0-88% with an average 26.9%, while the estimated savings per square foot per year range from 0-1.26 kWh/SF*YR. Five circuits monitored had daylight from sidelighting only while five circuits had daylight from toplighting of some type. While this is a small sample, the energy savings in spaces with a toplighting component were generally higher than those with sidelighting only, supporting previous studies (McHugh et aI., 2004 and Heschong et aI., 2005). Specifically, circuits with sidelighting only produced 0-47% savings during regularly occupied hours in the monitoring period with an average of 21.8%. The figures for monitored circuits in spaces with toplighting were consistently higher ranging from 30.7-89.5% with an average of 68.1%. Sidelit spaces were estimated to save 0-24.7% annually with an average of 11.24% and 0-0.5 kWh/SF*YR with an average of 0.25 kWh/SF*YR. Spaces with top lighting were estimated to save from 19.95-88% annual with an average of 42.55% and 0.45-1.26 kWh/SF*YR with an average of 0.89 kWh/SF*YR. Three circuits were logged in a manner to provide pre and post commissioning data. During the monitoring periods, post-commissioned circuits saved 7%, 22%, and 58.8% more than the same pre-commissioned photocontrolled circuits. When comparing energy savings data between sites it is important to consider the differences in regularly occupied hours. This report used each building's regularly occupied hours to determine the baseline energy consumption of the photocontrolled lighting circuits. The greater the percentage of regularly operating hours falling during daylight hours, the greater the savings potential for photocontrolled circuits in that building. Realized energy savings from photocontrolled systems result from the combination of a well designed building, well designed lighting control systems, and proper system installation, commissioning and user operation. Errors in any of these steps can diminish savings. For example, a space with consistently low daylight levels or one with excessive glare such that blinds are usually closed wil produce little savings despite properly installed and commissioned photocontrol systems. However, exemplary execution in one or more of these steps can increase the overall system robustness and improve savings. For example, a very well daylit building can make up for improper commissioning in some cases because photocontrol systems are more forgiving when there is abundant daylight. User operation practices can also dramatically increase or decrease savings depending on if they understand the intention of the systems and on the level of satisfaction with the daylighting design, electric lighting design or the photocontrol system. Photocontrol systems should always be commissioned, users should be education as to the intention of the design, and proper operational documentation should be provided to the building owner or operator.

Some systems are installed to control several aspects of a building including lighting and HV AC set points and schedules while other systems are installed with stand alone control of single systems (for example lighting only). EMS can help in reducing energy use, improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality, while at the same time lowering maintenance costs (Piette et aI, 2001). EMS control of HV AC systems often couple differing temperature setpoints with multiple schedules and occupancy sensors, and provide "soft starts" for equipment or systems that slowly ramp toward comfort parameters to avoid energy spikes and reduce equipment ware. Used with lighting systems EMS often control schedules, lighting levels and intedace with occupancy and daylight photocontrol systems. A complete list of all control parameters is not possible because different buildings have different programs, user needs, and pedormance criteria. Advancements in computing technologies, sensors, and the industr trend toward open source program languages have allowed EMS to evolve in order to meet a wide range of customer needs. The role that the EMS plays within the building is in large part dependent upon building operators and institutional goals for, and commitment to, energy and comfort pedormance criteria. Some building operators use EMS as an operational tool to enhance traditional equipment, providing alars when maintenance is needed, and to schedule equipment use. The use of EMS often times does not go beyond this level of implementation. Systems that track total building energy use and disaggregated end use by sub-system are often referred to as Energy Information Systems (EIS). Advanced building operators capture this energy use information for benchmarking and continuous improvement purposes. In general, as awareness regarding energy use in buildings increases, building operators and owners are becoming more sophisticated in their use of this information and how it can be used to reach company energy goals, however additional research, and subsequent trining and education is required in order for EMS to realize a greater proportion of its potentiaL. Determining the energy savings potential or the realized energy savings of EMS installations is incredibly diffcult. Essentially, EMS is a tool that allows building operators and in some cases, building occupants, to balance and prioritize occupant comfort, energy savings, and equipment maintenance routines. When EMS is utilized effectively it can increase user comfort, increase energy savings, prolong equipment life, help to properly schedule maintenance, and save facilities staff time when troubleshooting. However, determining the energy savings of an EMS in a unitized fashion would require an extremely large sample size. This paper proposes a method for estimating energy savings associated with EMS and reports on the results of applying the method to four case study buildings in Idaho. Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 50f31 Savings associated with EMS controls can be confounded with savings associated with other energy effciency measures (EEM) such as economizer, demand control ventilation, daylight harvesting systems and occupancy sensors. However, integrtion with an EMS is likely to increase the effectiveness of standalone technologies by improving overall system integration, increasing the building operators ability to control the hardware, or the access provided to building users to practice individual control. Unfortnately, few studies were found that identified the incremental savings attributable to EMS integration and extension of the individual technologies as separate from savings associated with otherwise stand alone EEMs. Therefore, this literature review briefly highlights savings from studies that investigated EMS explicitly and other relevant studies that examined technologies commonly associated with EMS such as economizers, daylight harvesting, and occupancy sensors. EMS and related monitoring softare are developing and expanding. EMS are often used to control specific pieces of building equipment. Another related softare tool, referred to as Energy Information Systems (EIS) (Granderson et aI, 2009), are focused on building energy use and sub-systems analysis with the goal of maintaining and improving building energy performance. Oftentimes, EIS also track equivalent carbon dioxide emissions associated with the energy used. As EMS and EIS evolve and become more complex, their similarties increase. These systems are increasingly common in larger building and across ownership enterprises. Unfortnately, many EMS lack memory storage capacity and often do not capture trend log data (Piette, 2003), rather the real time data is used to control systems but the input signals are not recorded. In fact, trend logs are often established by third part contractors due to the complex nature and high level of software experience needed for programming and it is rather common that building operators do not fully understand the capabilities of their controls systems or know how to interpret the information available. Proper training of personnel is key to energy savings and building performance. It is recommended practice that ongoing education of operators be maintained as to the design intent of control systems and how the EMS should be used to monitor specific systems. (Hatley et aI., 2005). Nonetheless, EMS have been shown to be useful in assisting energy managers or building operators to improve building system performance. A study conducted in the San Francisco Bay area (Piette et aI, 2001) suggests that trendlog data from EMS were the key to helping building operators understand equipment functionality and improve building performance. In addition, increased energy savings can be realized by improving the capability of data storage and sampling interval time steps beyond that of which many EMS are capable. Piette et al (2001) recommended several improvements and many of these, such as interactive graphics and remote Internet access, are now standard in most EMS packages. Building operators also found value in having data on actual energy use disaggregated by end use such as fans, chilers, plug loads and Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 6 of 31 lighting loads. End use data is helpful in assessing equipment performance and monitoring degradation as well as prioritizing areas for continuous improvement. The ability of an EMS to control scheduling such that equipment is ruing only when necessary and at the correct rate is of paramount importance. According to Hatley et aL. (2005), scheduling features of an EMS can save at least 15% of total energy costs. The use of an air-side economizer is also a widely used function of an EMS. Hatley et aL. (2005) reported cooling energy savings, depending on economizer control setting and climate zone, of 15-50%. Recently, Guo et aL. (2010) published a climate zone specific study on temperature setback/setup for heating/cooling energy savings. Their results suggest that the full benefit of nighttime setback/setup setpoints is often not realized. Operators did not know what temperature setbacks/setups to use for unoccupied hours and when access is given occupants often overrde setpoints. This study utilized energy simulation softare to determine optimum heating and cooling setback/setup temperatures based on climate zones and building constrctions types. The building modeled was described as a double corrdor classroom building. Energy models were validated against Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) data. The HV AC systems were RTUs with gas heat, electrc cooling, and no economizer use. Table 1 shows recommended setback/setup temperatures and Table 2 shows modeled energy savings compared to modeled baseline data. In addition to energy savings in standard unoccupied hours (nighttime), energy savings are also provided by the use to occupancy sensors on HVAC equipment. These sensors can force equipment to use unoccupied setpoints during normal occupied hours. Guo et aL. (2010) states that setback/setup savings are related primarily to the amount of time in the setback/setup mode. Occupancy sensors are a good way to increase these hours during times of low occupancy inside the normal set of occupied hours. No data could be found that quantifies how much energy could be saved with occupancy sensors controllng HV AC equipment. Coolin Heatin ASHRAE- Occu ied 75 70 Massive BId.

Without automatic control, building operators are often required to adjust and stage boilers on a daily basis. This can be labor intensive and requires a great deal of operator experience. In one case study, Waltz (2000) found a 50% difference in heating energy use from one operator to another. Control equipment manufactuers (tekmar, 2008) have reported savings of 5-30% with the use of outdoor temperatue reset controls. One study conducted in Minnesota (Hewett, 1984) on a residential apartment complex reported a 13% savings in heating energy due to outdoor temperatue control. 1.1.2.1 Occupancy Sensors and Lighting Control There have been relatively few examinations of the energy savings and user response to occupancy sensors. However, the research available suggests general user acceptance and consistent energy savings of 15-20% from the use of occupancy sensors. (Pigg 1996, Jennings 1999) One study showed savings as high as 46% (Maniccia 1999). There are conflcting data as to the user behavior implications in the presence of occupancy sensors but energy savings persist in spite of some reported negative behavior modifications (Pigg 1996, Jennings 1999). The percentage of time when spaces are occupied plays a role in the prediction or evaluation of energy savings from any lighting control system, but perhaps most significantly occupancy sensors. Field studies of private offices have shown rèlatively low occupancy ratios of roughly 50% (OpdaI1995, Love 1998, Jennings 1999, Maniccia 1999). 1.1.2.2 Daylight Harvesting Lighting Control Pigg et al. (1996) reported findings from a study of twelve private offces in a university business building in Wisconsin and found that only half of the rooms showed any savings due to automatic dimming over the II-month monitoring period. No specific savings data were offered for the other rooms and it was noted that all twelve rooms were south facing and several had blinds closed all of the time. Resulting from a seven-month fièld study in a large federal office building, Jennings et al. (1999) found that automatic dimming saved on average 29% of the lighting energy, however no predicted savings were offered. McHugh et al. (2004) reported on a field study of 32 spaces with skylights and daylight sensing controls and assessed how much energy was actually saved compared to the savings predicted from eQuest (Hirsch & LBNL, n.d.) energy simulations. Very high realized savings ratios were reported and mean savings was 98% (range 25%-156%). If one low outlier was eliminated all locations saved more than 60%. A follow-up study in 123 sidelit spaces found realized savings ratios to be very low (Heschong, Howlett, McHugh, & Pande, 2005). Half (52%) of the 123 spaces saved zero energy. The half (48%) that saved some energy saved only 53% of what was predicted for a mean realized savings ratio of 23%. Galasiu et al. (2007) reported on a yearlong field study of 86 offce workstations in a single building and found that automatic dimming accounted for 20% lighting energy savings. Finally, in some cases, daylight sensing lighting controls actually resulted in increased energy use (Reinhart & Vos, 2003; .Moore et aI., 2003) due to the increased ballast voltage required of Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 8 of 31 dimming ballasts or because of a combination of improper design, commissioning or user operation. Many aspects of EMS do not directly save energy via control, but indirectly via indication of fault states in equipment and parameters such as filter or discharge air temperature alarms. Early correction of these problems can save energy assuming the problem would have taken longer to detect otherwise. Many such aspects of EMS save not only energy, but also other 'hard' costs through reduced labor time spent troubleshooting, and reduced equipment replacement expenses by catching problems before irreversible equipment damage is done. Additionally, a 2001 study (Piette et al) indicated that operators that used EMS to track and monitor equipment parameters saved 20% in facilities staff labor hours and developed a better understanding of the HV AC systems in their building. These same operators often used the stored data to perform "continuous commissioning" of equipment and experienced extended equipment life. Furermore, staff from a central location can remotely monitor several buildings in disparate locations. This can save travel time and increasing equipment monitoring activity. These benefits and the associated energy savings are nearly impossible to quantify but should not be ignored. Therefore, the estimates made by this report should be considered conservative in nature. According to 2003 CBECS data, the average size of a building with an EMS is 62,000 SF and uses 114 kBtuSF*yr. Other relevant CBECS data are presented in Table 3 below. These data suggest that the general building in the Mountain West and climate zone 5 uses 18% more energy than the tyical office building in the U.S. and 32% more energy than the tyical school in the U.S., in part due to the more extreme climate. Cooling energy is a lower percentage of total energy use in climate zone 5 and heating energy is a similar percentage of the total energy for schools but offces show 7.7% more heating energy than tyical U.S. buildings. These data support the general methods outlined in the next section.

Site visits were performed at least twice to each building in the study. Interviews were performed with building maintenance staff to determine the control strategy for the EMS system and to determine the level of knowledge the operator(s) have with the system. The level of EMS use and operators' knowledge of the system were discerned through both the building tours and the building operator interviews. System setup parameters were viewed and screen shots were captured to document EMS settings. Facilities were toured to ascertain the systems being controlled. The vast array of parameters controlled made finding exact energy savings from each control point an extremely difficult task. Additionally, many aspects of EMS do not directly save energy via control, but indirectly via indication of fault states in equipment and parameters such as fiter or discharge air temperature alarms. Early correction of these problems can be considered to save energy if the problem would have taken longer to detect otherwise. Some savings were impossible to estimate given the scope and duration of this study. In this investigation CBECS 2003 national end use average data were used to parse out the dis aggregated (heating, lighting, cooling etc) energy use of the buildings studied based upon actual EUI data from each site. When possible, significant EEMs such as economizer and lighting system energy savings were logged and reported in an effort to increase the reliability of the EMS energy savings data presented. In addition to logged data, published savings data for specific technologies were used to report on EEMs associated with the EMS that were not explicitly logged. Table 4 below shows savings documented by elements associated with EMS as found in the literature review. These data were used to determine energy savings for each measure found in each of the buildings investigated. Data from Guo et aL. (2010) was further broken down and curve fits established so that specific setback/setup temperatures could be associated with percent savings for heating and cooling energy.

This example is used to demonstrate the estimation portion of the methodology used in all buildings investigated. It is also useful as a generic point of reference for the savings potential of buildings with an EMS in climate zone 5. The example building has an EUI of 112 kBtu/SF*yr, is 50,000 SF and is assumed to incorporate all EEMs outlined in Table 4. Based upon CBECS data, a tyicllighting load of21 kBtuSF*yr was assumed to be controlled by occupancy sensors. The heating setback temperature is 15 of below setpoint and the cooling setup temperature is 10°F above setpoint. The building has 50 kW of fan energy and because it is a thermally massive building the operator is able to set an "optimum stop" time for unoccupied mode as 1 hour before the close of business. The building has a V A V system with supply air temperature reset based on V A V box damper positions. The air handler uses an economizer mode and the hot water boiler capacity is controlled based on actual outdoor air temperature. .Savings from lighting controls: Based upon our literature review, savings due to occupancy sensors were assumed to be 15% (Pigg, 1996). For this example, we wil assume occupancy sensors control 25% of the lighting load. This means that 5.25 kBtuSF*yr of lighting is controlled for a savings of 0.79 kBTU/SF*yr. .Savings from setback/setup: Using Graph 1, a 15 of setback results in 28% heating energy savings or 12 kBtuSF*yr. Using Graph 2, a 10 of setup results in 47% cooling energy savings or 3.3 kBtu/SF*yr. .Savingsfrom Optimum start/stop: Knowing the building has 50 kW of fan energy and the operator moved the building into unoccupied mode 1 hour early each workday, and Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 12 of31 assuming 255 work days in a work year, savings of 12,750 kWh or 0.87 kBtuSF*yr would result. · Boiler savings from actual outdoor temperature vs. human control: Our literature review suggests that a wide range of savings (from 5-50%) of heating energy is possible. We wil use a rather conservative figure of 15% of heating energy savings due to outdoor reset control based upon a subset of our literatue review (Waltz, 2000, tekmar, 2008, Hewett, 1984). Heating energy from Table 3 is 42.9 kBtuSF*yr, 15% of this is 6.4 kBtu/SF*yr. · Saving from VA V temperature rest: Cooling energy from Table 3 is 7 kBtuSF*yr, Table 4 shows 8% saving from this measure resulting in 0.56 kBtuSF*yr savings. · Economizer savings: Research has show economizer savings in the range of 15-50% for cooling energy depending on building types, climate zones, and system settings. The most conservative value of 15% energy savings wil be used for this example. Therefore, 15% of 7 kBtuSF*yr results in 1.05 kBtuSF*yr saved. Table 5 below shows a summary of the savings just outlined.

However, these savings will only be realized if the owner is committed to continuous improvement and hires trained building operators that understand the capabilities and limitations of the softare. There is also a commitment needed on the part of the operators to expand their knowledge with regards to direct digital control systems and understanding of the intended control sequences. These systems allow operators to go beyond performing routine maintenance and incident response (trouble shooting) toward a powerfl role in the organization with the ability to monitor enterprise energy use and save substantial amounts of energy and money. The position description of building operators must evolve to include not only skils related to equipment maintenance but also technical knowledge of control systems, computer literacy and perhaps most importantly, a desire to seek continuous improvement. Table 7 below shows summary results of energy saving found in this study. Detailed explanation of these numbers can be found in Section 4 and the methods were explained in Section 2. However, it is important to understand these numbers within the appropriate context. First, these are conservative in nature since many of the potential savings associated with EMS are impossible to quantify without longitudinal field studies on a large sample of buildings. For example savings associated with early fault detection are not represented here. Second, these savings do not attempt to identify the savings associated only with EMS. That is, the savings values are built up by including measured and published data for technologies that are integrted through an EMS system. The actual technologies for each site were explicitly considered. However, given the scope of this study, it was impossible to determine the incremental improvement offered by EMS systems separate from the savings associated with the associated energy effcient technologies.

This knowledge/use level was based on interviews with the operator(s) and features that are present in the EMS as found during site visits. The facilty that scored highest had an institutional desire to save energy through the use of the EMS. Energy use was tracked either in the EMS or externally via a spreadsheet. In the case of the low-medium scores, facilties used the EMS as a maintenance tool and did not outwardly display an institutional desire to save energy with this tool. User knowledge was limited as was funding to provide operator training. These facilities are in danger of having their EMS degrade as untrained operators change settings, ignore alarms and bypass controls. In one case, Building 10, the separately controlled lighting system was extremely effective but a value engineering decision was made in the design process that rendered the HV AC side of the EMS system ineffective. This office building is located in Chubbuck, ID. The building totals 68,000 SF and is four stories tall. Systems Controlled: This facility uses an underfoor air distrbution (UFAD) system with heating provide by hydronic boilers and cooling provided through roof top air handlers with direct expansion (DX) cooling. Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 15 of31 Lighting is controlled by a daylight sensing photocontrol system with lighting schedules. Each floor has its own lighting control paneL. This facility uses a central EMS system for HV AC related controls and a control panel on each floor for lighting controls.

The morning soft start saves electrc demand charges by warming and cooling the building slowly so energy peaks are not as dramatic. Allowing the building to float for one hour before the close of business saves fan and heating/cooling energy by using the thermal energy stored in the building. This is often called "Optimum Start/Stop". Calculating the energy savings in heating and cooling would require energy modeling, however, the fan energy savings can be estimated. The building uses a total of95 horsepower (71 kW) in supply fan power. Exhaust fans were ignored because they do not run all the time. Ifwe assume 255 days in a typical work year, this would result in 18,105 kWh of savings or 0.91 kBtuSF*yr. The Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 16 of31 scheduling and soft star aspects are a direct result of functionally enabled by the EMS and the decision to place the entire building into unoccupied mode one hour early is due to an educated and energy concise building operator. It should be noted that this practice saves energy but can compromise indoor air quality if excessive "floating" is allowed. The EMS provides energy and labor savings through automatic control or the boilers. Boilers are disabled when OAT reaches 65°F. Without an EMS the building operators would manually stage boilers on a daily basis. Given that building operators are often concerned primarily with occupant comfort, boilers tend to remain on longer than necessary when manually staged. This substantial labor penalty is removed with EMS control and operator labor hours are freed for other activities. This study estimates a 15% heating energy savings from this functionality. This building has two boilers and boiler pumps. The EMS system switches primary boiler and pump system each month for equal system usage. The boiler heating water setpoints are responsive to outdoor air temperatue. Setpoints are 150°F supply water at OAT below 65°P and 180°F at OAT below O°F. This arrangement allows boiler output to better match building load, which in turn allows pumps and dampers to operate at near optimum settings, providing better control and increased energy efficiency. EMS alarms are provided for pump status, and supply and return water temperature. This allows for early fault detection and prevention of long periods of sub-optimal operation.

Freeze protection can save equipment from damage and reduce fan energy needed to overcome the resistance of clogged coils. Smoke control provides an additional life safety feature by not providing additional oxygen to a fire before the main fire control system has detected the fire and has shut the system down. High static pressure in a duct system can result from several causes such as clogged filters or stuck dampers. Excessive duct pressure can often go unnoticed by operators or occupants resulting in excessive fan energy for long periods of time. Supply air pressurization information is provided on the EMS user interface to ilustrate pressure drop across filter banks and high limit alar setpoints are provided. Labor and material costs can be reduced by allowing operators to change filters at the exact time needed instead of with a routine preventative maintenance program. Energy savings associated with proper duct static pressure can be significant. The thee RTUs on this building have a total connect load of 167 Amps, 112 (67%) of which is supply fan energy. These saving are difficult to quantify in a field study, however as an example, the three RTUs on this sited each supply 28,000 cfm of supply air. If dirt or clogged filters increase the static pressure drop by 1 inch of water column, this would increase fan power by 5 kW for just one RTU. If this went unnoticed one week, extra energy use would be 200 kWh, one month would be 1,200 kWh Supply air set points are controlled by the EMS with regard to heating and cooling loads, space by space. When AHU fans reach 100% discharge the supply air temperature for cooling wil be setback from 62°F to 58°F. Also ifthe supply fan reaches 50% of its maximum output the discharge air temperature wil be setup from 62°F to 66°F. This feature of the EMS system has the potential to increase occupant comfort during periods of high internal heat gains by lowering supply air temperatures and increasing control capability of the zone's variable air volume (V A V) boxes. During periods of low internal loads this feature reduces fan and cooling energy by increasing supply air temperature set points. In Table 8 this feature is referred to as "Supply air temperature reset V A V". The V A V terminal units are controlled by room thermostats and networked with the EMS. The EMS reports setpoints, current damper positions, room temperatures, occupied/unoccupied status, and heating valve positions. Heating is accomplished via coils in V A V terminal units. V A V dampers move to a minimum position on a call for heat, effectively reducing reheat energy during shoulder seasons. In unoccupied mode, V A V fans cycle only on heating/cooling calls in order to save fan energy. Figure 2 below shows zone temperatues for the first floor of the building. Each temperature box is associated with one V A V box to control that zone.

Exhaust Fans Lighting Controls: This building is designed to include daylighting and the perimeter zones are equipped with continuous dimming systems, . facing in four orientations. Large transparent perimeter windows provide day lighting to the offce spaces. The south façade has deep exterior louvered overhangs and shallow interior lightshelves, while the rest of windows are not shaded except for interior blinds. Pendant mounted direct/indirect fluorescent fixtues provide electrc ilumination. A photocell is located on the ceiling and positioned with a field of view including the work surfaces for each daylight zone. During the monitoring period a median energy savings of 30.5 % was found and annual energy savings was estimated at 1.25 kBTU/SF*yr. For a detailed explanation of the methods involved see UI-IDL Technical Report 20090205-01. This elementary school has 27 classrooms and is 68,870 SF. It opened in August 2007. Systems Controlled: Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 19 of31 This school uses an HV AC related EMS for the entire schooL. Equipment scheduling, trend logging and alarms are extensively used. This school has two classrooms that were fitted with high pedormance featues. One feature of these two rooms is the automatic control of lighting systems through the use of daylight sensing photocontrols. Air side economizers are used in all standard classrooms.

Adjusting temperature setpoints based on occupied and unoccupied time is one of the most fundamental aspects of an EMS. From examining the EMS at this school the cooling setup differential is 7°F and the heating setback is 13°F. These values were used along with Graph 1 and Graph 2 to determine scheduling savings. Economizer savings were measured in a field study. Finding can be seen in IDL Report # 20090205-02. Similarly lighting savings details can be found in IDL Report # 20090205-01. The level of operator knowledge ofthe EMS at this facility is low. Trends logs are set up and modified by a controls contractor. Greater understanding of EMS functionality and equipments control points has shown to improve operator knowledge of building functions and control strategies (Piette et aI, 2001). The two high pedormance classrooms are much closer to the EIS model presented in the literatue review section. If the entire school incorporated more energy use trend log capability it would help operators understand and ultimately improve the overall Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrted Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 20 of31 energy use of the facility. EMS can put the frmework in place to save energy but it is up to the operators to embrace and lear these systems in order to maximize energy savings. The 63,400 ft2 elementary school utilizes a "U" shape plan that separtes the lower elementary grades from the upper grdes by an outdoor instrctional courard area. This building is wood frame constrction with CMU veneer and stucco exterior and features 24 general purpose classrooms, a library, cafeteria, and separate multi purpose room. Systems Controlled: This school uses an HV AC related EMS for the entire schooL. Equipment scheduling, trend logging and alarms are extensively used. Occupancy sensors in the classrooms control both lighting and HVAC RTUs. When the sensor indicates no occupancy the RTUs are set to unoccupied mode for heating and cooling setpoints Table 10 below shows summary energy saving for this building.

The San Francisco study (Piette et aI, 2001) showed a 20% reduction in labor due to automation of information being provided to operators. This in turn allows operators to better serve occupants and other operational needs. One major savings of this system is the ability of operators to monitor building pedormance from a web-based interface. Allowing several building to be monitored and controlled remotely. The extensive use of trend log data at this facility can improve the understanding of control systems. It has been shown (Piette et aI, 2001) that building operators that do not have a good understanding of control systems wil tend to overrde and short cut controls. This better understanding of control systems results in proper control being maintained and cascades into better occupant comfort and reduced occupant complaints (Piette et aI, 2001). A detailed look at economizer energy saving was pedormed for one room and the results extrapolated to the entire schooL. During the monitoring period, it was found that the economizer was in operation 21 hours, saving 12k Wh of energy during the monitoring period. When the savings data for the monitored period was modeled and expanded to the entire year 549 kWh/ton*yr of savings was found. For the entire 150 tons of cooling at this school this amounts to 4.43 kBtu/SF *yr. For more information on the economizer savings see IDL reports 20090205-02. From examining the EMS at this school the cooling setup differential is 13°F and the heating setback is 12°F. These values were used along with Graph 1 and Graph 2 to determine scheduling savings. Occupancy sensor controlled lighting has been shown to save 15% in connected lighting load (Pigg 1996). Occupancy controlled lighting was reported to be 5.9 kBtuSF*yr, 15% of this results in 0.89 kBtuSF*yr savings. The level of operator knowledge of the EMS at this facility is considered to be medium based on the desire for operators to learn more about the EMS and energy saving aspects of having good economizer setpoints, setback temperatures and the use of occupancy sensors on HV AC equipment. However it cannot be considered high because trends logs are set up and modified by a controls contractor and greater operator training is needed. The school distrct has one operator that is trained on the operations of the EMS and other operators are eager to learn more. As with most schools, money and training time is limited. Until managers and school board offcials realize that savings can only be maintained and improved through operator knowledge, this system is in jeopardy of losing energy savings as the system degrades to the level of the least knowledgeable operator. Greater understanding of EMS functionality and equipments control points has shown to improve operator knowledge of building functions and control strtegies as reported in the literature review. EMS can put the framework in place to save energy but it is up to the operators to embrace and learn these systems in order to maximize energy savings and up to managers (school board) to provide resources to accomplish this. Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 22 of31 This offce building is located in Meridian, ID. The facility is 15,750 square feet of office space with a storage facility located on-site. This report examines the energy management system for the offce space only and not the large storage business on site. The building has a LEED Gold certification and comprises reconfigurable offce space and common resource areas including copy and mail centers, conference and seminar rooms, lounges, flex spaces and a retail space. Systems Controlled: This building was designed to provide automatic control of the lighting system and the HV AC system. Each of these control systems stand alone and do not operate as an integrated Energy Management System. The lighting control is accomplished with an Encelium lighting control system. The Encelium system provides a computer desktop-based interface for lighting control that could be accomplished from the user's desktop, from a centrl location within the building, or from an off-site location though an Internet connection. According to the control strategy the system is used to trm all lighting fixtues to 80% of maximum light output. Occupants also have the ability to further dim lights if needed. Occupancy sensors and schedules control the lights in all common areas. The HVAC system uses a rooftop unit (RTU) varable air volume (VA V) system with under floor air distrbution (UFAD). The units are factory installed with a Direct Digital Control (DDC) panel (internal to RTU only) which allows sensors and actuators to talk to each other digitally. The system is also furnished with an interior wall mounted user interface that communicates with the RTU. Some of the features of this system include: automatic supply air reset, dirt fiter alarm, drbulb/wetbulb control of economizer operation, indoor air quality economizer reset, seven day two event per day scheduling, 14 holiday event scheduling, and trend logging capability.

Set points on equipment interfaces of the lighting system and HV AC system were recorded. A run time logger was installed on the supply fan to determine fan operating hours. Energy savings of these two stand-alone systems were ascertained by carefully reviewing the building operators' use of the systems and how the systems were configured. Savings from the lighting system were determined by an interview and investigation process. The capabilties of the lighting control system were investigated using product literature. The building manager was interviewed to determine what aspects of the system were utilized and what specific control strategies are being employed. Detailed savings information can be found in IDL Report # 20090205-01. A building layout and spreadsheet was generated to show lighting power densities in different areas of the building, this can be seen in Figure 7. HVAC System The rooftop units installed are state of the art, high efficiency units. Premium-effciency motors are used along with variable frequency drive, digital scroll compressors, and other energy effciency features. The DDC system in each unit provides feedback on several sensor signals used to maintain various set points internal to the RTU. However, the system does not take advantage of several energy saving operational settings such as nighttime temperatue setbacks and space occupancy scheduling. Upon inspection of the control sequences and heating/cooling schedules established in the system, we did not find any temperature setbacks. We followed up, asking building managers and equipment suppliers to confirm if there were setbacks or schedules established. During interviews with both the equipment suppliers and building architects, a common explanation emerged. It appears that during the design-bid-build process the bids came back were considered too high and as a result the original DDC system, that would have been external to the R TU, was value engineered out of the project. It is not clear at what point this value engineering decision happened with regard to when incentive paper work was filed to IPC. Because of the system definitions and control sequences, the largest and most fundamental aspect of EMS, occupancy scheduling, was not in place. Economizer saving is stil present and reported. However, current fan energy use was determined and theoretical energy savings can be discussed. Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 24 of31 Figure 5 below shows a simple representation of the EMS installed. The only communication from building zones to the R TU is from return air temperature sensors and pressure sensors. With these properties of the air stream, the RTU increases or decreases the air temperature and increases or decreases the under floor pressure accordingly. Since the air stream is the only communication path, the supply fans must remain on all of the time in order to maintain control of zone temperatures and protect zones from overheating or overcooling.

From Graph 3, below, it can be seen that the supply fan was on for most of the 74 days that we logged data. The periods when the fan was off do not appear to follow any consistent pattern and were tyically off for less than 15 minutes. The reason for this shut off cannot be explained.

This data can be used to determine energy used by the fan during unoccupied periods, when, if an EMS was present the fan could be shut off and only cycle on for short periods of heating or cooling. Some standard fan law equations (ASHRAE, 2008) can be used for finding fan energy in these unoccupied hours. Using the above trend logs it can be seen that the fan runs at approximately 75% of full speed most of the time. Ifwe assume 2,860 hours in a work year with occupancy from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, there are 5,900 hours unoccupied. Using fan laws this 7.5HP supply fan motor wil use 2.307 kW of energy at 75% of full speed. Ifwe take the unoccupied hours (5,900) and multiply them by the energy use of the fan at 75% full speed, the result equals 13,611kWh/yr (2.9 kBtuSF*yr) of energy used per year in unoccupied mode under current control conditions for one RTU. This building has two such RTU bringing the extra fan energy total to 27,222 kWhyr (5.8 kBtuSF*yr). This is wasted energy since the only reason the supply fan must remain on is because the physical air temperature and pressure are the only communication paths back to the RTU in absence of a central EMS. The value of 5.8 kBtu/SF*yr is a reasonable starting point for theoretical energy savings that could be achieved if an EMS was in place. A small amount of fan energy would be needed to satisfy the unoccupied heating and cooling calls. Additional savings could be achieved though the use of nighttime temperature setbacks and occupancy control temperatue setbacks. Lighting System The Encelium lighting Energy Control System (ECS) installed has many capabilities including integrating the use of scheduling, daylight haresting, task tuning, occupancy controls, personal control (wall switch or computer console), and demand load shedding to reduce peak demand. It should be noted that this is not a study of actual detailed energy use of the lighting system installed, but is a study of the estimated energy savings that can be attbuted to the strategies actually implemented. This building has implemented scheduling, task tuing, occupancy control, and personal control features of the Encelium system. A layout of the lighting setting as implemented can be seen in Figure 7. Scheduling is used in common areas and occupancy is currently set for 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The task-tuning feature is utilized by turning down the maximum output of fixtures, in this building, rather aggressively to 72% of the maximum possible lighting output in most spaces. Users can elect to reduce lighting furter through Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 27 of31 individual control but the maximum level is set at 72% of full output in most spaces. Occupancy sensors are utilized in the restrooms, storage closets and electrcal/mechanical closets. Furher energy saving is possible by occupants further turning down workspace lighting. Savings associated with this must be documented through detailed long term data logging, which was beyond the scope of this study. Occupancy sensor saving was estimated from published data and reported in Figure 4. 7 10 office Percent oflightihg Capacít UsEJ II ,....,,015 ~ OCcup.ncSensr_ti (5 Ugtt'.Dn'!Jom 1a:m-6pm We believe that the building operator's ability to make adjustments and modifications themselves is key to building tuning and the energy saving capability of energy management systems. At this site, the realized annual energy savings, 23,495 kWh/yr (5.09 kBtuSF*yr) is attributable to the lighting control system. The EMS for the HV AC is not considered a fully functional Measurement and Verification of Energy Management Systems; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-04) Page 28 of31 system because the zones do not talk to the RTUs. Economizer energy saving is present on the HV AC side but the fudamental aspect of EMS, occupancy scheduling is not being used and additional fan energy is used due to current setup. For this site, it is not clear whether the "value engineering" decisions made during design stages was fully understood by the building owners and operators. It is our hope that the analysis above wil help convince the owners to implement an integrated EMS. EMS systems are continually advancing as users request more functionally, computing power increases, and the desire for building owners to captue building functionality and energy use information increases. Piette et al. (2001) noted that operators desired a change in terminology away from "trendlog" and toward the philosophy of "data achieving". This stil appears to be a concern given the interviews from operators in this study. The difference of these two concepts is the ability of systems to store large amounts of historical data and increase data sampling rates for much of the equipment to I-minute intervals. This provides historical data to help audit systems that would otherwise be lost as the curent practice is to overwrite old data as storage space is needed, or in some cases not to log data at all. Energy savings potential associated with EMS is significant. As with many control systems, actual savings is dependent on proper installation, commissioning, and most of all, the operators' ability maximize the system. Operators' ability to use the system is a function of both the knowledge of the operators and the commitment of the building owners or management to invest in the training needed. As buildings become more advanced and energy savings become more sought after, the job fuction and skil sets of building operators must expand. Having the EMS in place is the foundation for energy savings but it taes educated and motivated operators to maintain and optimize savings. The energy savings realized by EMS in this study raged from 5.09 to 8.3 kBtuSF*yr for electrical savings and 0 to 12.9 kBtuSF*yr for gas savings. It is important to understand these numbers within the appropriate context. First, these are conservative in nature since many of the potential savings associated with EMS are impossible to quantify without longitudinal field studies on a large sample of buildings. For example, early correction and early fault detection are important benefits of EMS and this functionality can be considered to save energy if the problems would have taken longer to detect otherwise. These savings were impossible to estimate given the scope of this study. This is an area where additional research is recommended. For example, savings associated with early fault detection could be investigated through a longitudinal fied study and recording the events in a records log. These data could be compared against the probable detection though routine maintenance schedules to determine how much more quickly the errors were detected due to EMS and energy savings could be attbuted to the early detection. Second, the EMS savings reported do not attemptto identify the savings associated only with EMS. That is, the savings values are built up by including measured and published data for specific technologies that were integrated through an EMS at each site. A larger sample that included buildings with and without EMS, but otherwise had similar discreet EEMs, would be required to begin to estimate the incremental improvement attrbuted to an EMS alone.

The economizer system operates when there is a call for cooling in the space and OA conditions are favorable to provide cooling to the space. Figure 1 below shows a schematic view of the different air steams and dampers in a typical economizer system, the blue line represents the cooling coiL. In full economizer mode the OA damper are open to the maximum position and the mixed air damper is closed. Some control systems can also throttle the mixed air damper to provide the desired supply air temperature. When outdoor air dampers (OAD) are set to the minimum position, they remain slightly open to meet interior fresh air requirements and to help control envelope infitrtion by maintaining building pressurization. Fìgure 1 Air fìow paths with economizer system ,.. Re.. I Ri .. ~/~.:' u_-+ alr ln ii all.. Economizers can be controlled either locally at individual roof top units (R TU) or from a central energy management system (EMS). The physical components that make up economizer systems can be factory installed or field installed as an aftermarket energy efficiency measure. Control strategies and setpoints are configurable and adjustable based on building owner/operator preferences. Best practices based on climate zone may also be employed. Several control sequences exist in order to allow the OAD to open and provide free cooling to the space. Two common control sequences include 1) comparng outdoor air properties to a fixed value selected on the controller and 2) to compare return airstream properties to the outdoor airstream conditions. When return air properties are compared to OA properties it is called 'differential control'. With either of these sequences, two different air properties are commonly monitored, dry bulb air temperature and air enthalpy. Dry bulb air temperature is a measure taken without concern for the water vapor content of the air. Air enthalpy is a measure of the energy content of the air and is dependent both on dry bulb air temperatue and water vapor content of the air. This study is concerned with the energy saving aspects of economizers in general and does not contrast different control types or set points. Measurement and Verification of Advanced 2009 6of24# Most previous studies on economizer performance are based upon modeled data (Frisk, et. aI., 2004), while few studies have monitored field performance data. One study modeled a 22,000 s/f office building in Washington D.C. with 72 occupants and found that $2,000 could be saved per year based on $0.076/kWh for electricity (Frisk, et. aI., 2004). This study also examined the reduction of sick leave due to increased fresh air and found these saving to be more significant than energy savings, ranging from $6000-$16,000 per year. Energy model runs were performed with and without a temperature based economizer system. The report did not specify the exact control system (OA dr bulb or differential control). The New Buildings Institute (NBI, 2008) conducted an economizer study and listed for major goals: 1) benchmark testing of economizer controls, 2) field testing of repair protocols, 3) devising an appropriate measurement and verification (M&V) approach and 4) developing a savings prediction methodology based on prototypical buildings. Only the first goal of examining economizer controls has been completed to date. Their report shows that the exact control logics of these systems are much more complex than would appear from reading manufacturers' literature. Control points are dependent on whether OA temperature is increasing or decreasing (direction of change) and may also be dependent on an OA temperatue being low enough to cause a 'trigger' in the control systems, referred to in their study as 'control hysteresis'. These laboratory findings suggest that development of a consistent testing method is difficult due to the variability in system operations. The study also provided valuable information about control issues with one sensor in particular. They reported that the Honeywell C7650 dr bulb sensor presented control problems due to a large temperature deadband that resulted in reduced hours of economizer use. This sensor can be replaced with a selectable dead band sensor, Honeywell C7660. The NBI study (2008) reported that the problematic sensor was used in 70% of the 223 units studied. An additional study was managed by the New Buildings Institute and prepared by the Architectual Energy Corporation (Jacobs, 2003). This California Energy Commission and PIER funded study points out several common problems with HV AC systems including problems with economizer and fan cycling. Fan cycling refers to fans turning on/off based on cooling calls during operating hours as opposed to the code standards that require ventilation fans to remain on during occupied hours. Theyreported that out of215 economizers investigated, 138 (64%) were not fuctional and 82 (38%) showed fans cycling during occupied hours (Jacobs, 2003). Fan cycling can cause control problems with sensors because they only register accurate conditions when air is moving over them. Measurement and Verification of Root Units with of Design Lab-Boise Advanced Efficiency 2009 1 of 24# Eight buildings were identified for economizer monitoring from a list provided by Idaho Power Company of buildings that received economizer financial incentives. All buildings were newly constrcted or new HVAC equipment was installed between 2005 and 2007.

The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IMPMVP) outlines best practices in documenting energy saving (IPMVP, 2007) and noted future work geared toward measuring and reporting results. Future studies and guides may provide standardized methods for this work, however high variability in control systems and after market options wil most likely leave detailed methods 'equipment dependent'. That said, Jacobs (2003) provided valuable information that was applied to several units tested for functionality. For each of the eight buildings investigated data logging was executed for at least one RTU and functional testing of all, or a large sample ofRTUs, was conducted. Data logging procedures necessarily varied by site and by brand ofRTU. Unique testing procedures were often necessary for different R TU s of the same brand due to differences in their installation and the use of aftermarket economizer packages. At some sites the building EMS was used to perform functional testing. Equipment manufactuers, contractors and engineers were contacted to confirm proper installation and appropriate testing procedures. Multiple trps to each site were and Verification of Root Units with Lab~ßoíse often necessary to develop and confirm appropriate testing procedures. Parameters logged included: compressor state, current and power, supply and exhaust fan state and current, outdoor air temperature (OAT), mixed air temperatue (MAT), return air temperatue (RAT), thermostat voltage, and space air temperature. Not all parameters were logged on every unit, and were determined in accordance with the tye of equipment installed. Logged data was used to determine monitoring period energy savings due to economizer functionality. Using logged data, an estimate of annual energy savings was calculated. The methods for each calculation are described below. Actual hours for energy savings during the monitoring period were derived by isolating hours during which the space called for cooling, the supply fan was on, and the compressor was off. The hours of economizer use were multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power in kW to arrve at a kWh value for energy saved due to the economizer during the monitoring period. Energy savings during the monitoring period were reported in kWh. Next, annual estimated energy savings were derived by using third generation Typical Meteorological Year (TMY3) data, the balance point temperature of the building, compressor power, condenser fan power, compressor run time fractions, and the economizer high limit shut- off setting. The TMY3 data were sorted for hours when the OA temperature was above the building balance point and below the economizer high limit shut-off. Each hour in this range was assigned a compressor run time fraction based on logged data. The compressor run time fractions (in hours) were summed over the year to arrve at a total number of hours during which the compressor would have been running had no economizer been installed. This value (in hours) was then multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power to arrve at energy saved in kWh/yr. The RTU cooling capacity (in tons) was divided into the estimated annual energy savings. This provided an annualized estimated savings expressed in kWhton*yr, a value that can be compared and averaged across multiple RTUs and buildings. Functional testing was carred out on all units monitored and most of the remaining RTUs on all participant buildings. Of the 47 R TU s tested, 10 (21 %) failed the functional test. Of these, 2 (4% Measurement and Verifcatìon of Root Units with University of Lab-Boise (Report # Effìcíency 2009 9 of 24 of total) failed due to jammed economizer gears and 8 (17% of total) did not respond to control signals. The problematic sensor reported previously (C7650) was responsible for 6 of the 8 control signal failures. Overall, these results are much better than the 64% failure rate reported in a previous study (Jacobs, 2003). However, our study examined new RTUs only, whereas the previous study examined a wide range ofRTUs presumably with more variability in age. Furtermore, we found 15 units (32%) that were not wired to manufactues recommendations. This did not always result in failure durng fuctional testing but could diminish system performance. Savings during the monitoring period are reported in Table 2 below. In the case of Building 03, there were no savings calculated because the RTU did not pass economizer fuctional testing.

Classroom 410 was selected to monitor economizer performance. Room 410 houses a first grade class and is 992 SF. Data were available for this study from the EMS installed at the schooL. Additional trend logs were established for the purposes of this study. Study Period: August 20 to October 2nd, 2009 BV AC Systems: The HV AC system tye that serves most of the classrooms is a residential style split system. The system is referred to as a split system because the heating unit and blower motor are split from the air conditioning condenser and compressor. Error!

Figure :3 Roof top mecn¡mica! space with corii:lenser and compressor units Other: Functional testing of the RTUs was done through the EMS ofa select number of units. The control parameters in the EMS logic indicated good economizer operation. Data collected though the EMS trend logs included outside air temperature (OAT), economizer damper position (EDP), fan coil unit watts, and compressor unit watts. The OAT at which the EDP moves to its minimum position (end of economizer cooling) was determined from trend log data. The average OAT at which the room called for cooling was also determined from trend log data. These two temperatures give the OAT range over which "free" economizer cooling is Measurement and Verification of Root Units withof Lab~8oise available and compressor energy is avoided. During the analysis it was discovered that tend log data for the compressor power was not recorded properly by the EMS. Manufacturer data was used to determine compressor and condenser power and was found to be 1.89 kW. Monitoring period energy savings were found by determining all hours in which the outdoor damper position was greater than its minimum position and the OAT was in the economizer range. These hours were than multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan energy to arrve at a savings number. TMY3 data was filtered based on economizer temperature ranges. These filtered TMY3 data were used to determine the annual number of hours when the temperatue was in the range over which the economizer functioned. These hours, compressor energy use values, and determined compressor run time frctions were used to arrve at estimated annual energy savings given the current settings. Trend log data were analyzed from August 20 to October 2nd, 2009. By analyzing these data it was determined that the economizer stopped using outdoor air above 60°F. This is an adjustable control parameter in the EMS system. The point at which the room called for cooling was determined by averaging the OAT for every instance that the EDP increased from its minimum position. This OAT at which the classroom requested cooling was determined to be 51 ° F. Manufacturer's data was used to determine compressor and condenser power and was found to be 1.89 kW. Therefore the energy savings for room 410 is approximately 89 kWh during the monitoring period which included 47 hours of economizer use. TMY3 data were filtered to provide the number of hours during which the OAT was between 51 ~ and 60°F (economizer free cooling range) and was determined to be 471 hours estimated anually. This equates to 222 kWhton*yr saved by the economizer. Graph 1 below shows a full day of economizer use with EDP, OAT and compressor energy plotted.

However the system set points could be tuned to provide greater savings stilL. The set point in the EMS used to end the free cooling period was set to 60°F. It could arguably be increased to extend the free cooling period. Most non-EMS controlled EDP control models found on roof top units have a selection of four distinct OATs at which the EDP will move to its minimum. These setting are labeled A, B, C, and D which at 50% relative humidity correspond to 73°F, 70°F, 67°F and 63°F respectfully. If the 67°F control points were implemented on this site instead of the 60°F control point, the free cooling economizer period would be extended from 471 annual hours to 792 hours. The resultant energy savings would increase from 222kWhton*yr to 374 kWhton*yr for Room 410. A better understanding ofthe curent control logic would be necessar before making adjustments to the EMS set points. If the higher setpoint is implemented, follow up monitoring is suggested to verify that the system functions as expected. It is important to ensure that outside air introduced is consistently lower than the RATto avoid energy penalties. However, a diferential economizer control strategy should eliminate this concern. This manufactung and office building is located in Hailey, ID. The office spaces are served by seven RTUs, all six tons or less in size. OA dr bulb temperatue sensors control all economizers. Monitoring Period: August 13 - August 28, 2009. During functional testing it was determined that the unit logged was not functional so no energy saving could be reported. Data were collected on a random unit prior to fuctional testing. This was in part due to the long distance to this site and in part because R TU specifics were not available prior to the first site visit and follow up research was required before the proper fuctional testing sequence was established. Unfortnately, the unit selected proved to be non- functionaL. Graph 2 below shows the compressor in operation durng a call for cooling from the thermostat while the OAT is within the range during which the economizer should have been functionaL. During the second site visit, functional testing was performed on all RTUs and it was Measurement and Verification of of Advanced :# determined that four of the six units had a functional economizer. Due to time constrints, performance monitoring of a functional RTU was not possible at this site.

T~at -Comp ----OAT 6L5 ~ -0.2 6L3 This medical facility is located in Boise, ID, and has seven RTUs all under six tons capacity. The units are controlled by a Honeywell C7650 OA dr bulb sensor. Monitoring Period: Monitoring and testing was performed June through October, 2009 with analysis reported for the periods of October 7th to the 26th, 2009. Other: Of the seven units at this site, one passed functional testing, five failed and one unit was non-operable at the time of testing. It is believed such a high failure rate is connected to the use of the specific sensor which is known to provide poor economizer performance (Jacobs, 2003). This issue is addressed in the discussion section. Hours of economizer use were found by segregating data for which the OAT was within the economizer operating range and the outdoor air damper was above the minimum position as found in logged data. These time periods were summed to arrve at the total hours of economizer Measurement and Verifcation of Root Top Units with Economizers; Advanced Energy Eífìcíency 2009of Design Lab.Boise # 15 of 24 use durng the monitoring period and multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan energy use. On an annual basis, estimation of the energy saved by the economizer was found by applying a run time fraction for the compressor and condenser fan unit to each hour in the year which was within the economizer temperature range as determined by fitering TMY3 weather data. These hours were summed and multiplied by the energy use of the compressor and condenser fan units. The unit logged showed a monitoring period savings of 186 kWh over 54 hours of economizer use and an estimated anual saving of approximately 379 kWh/ton*yr over 441 hours of economizer use. The Honeywell C7650 OA dr bulb sensor has known control problems and Honeywell recommends a replacement for this sensor, the C7660 sensor (Honeywell, 2008A). This control problem was a result of a wide dead band used by the C7650 sensor that disallowed economizer cooling until the outdoor temperature dropped below the 10° F dead band leveL. The new C7660 sensor has a tighter dead band of 2° F. Researchers suggest (NBI, 2008) that saving from an economizer using the C7650 wil be lower than those using a sensor similar to the C7660. This is consistent with finding from this study. The 63,400 fr elementary school utilzes a "U" shape plan that separtes the lower elementary grades from the upper grades by an outdoor instrctional courard area. This building is wood frame constrction with CMU veneer and stucco exterior and features 24 general purpose classrooms, a library, cafeteria, and separate multi purpose room. A tyical classroom and a single rooftop unit was monitored in this study. Monitoring Period: March 9 to April 14, 2009 HV AC System: The HVAC for this school is controlled by an EMS. Demand control ventilation (DCV) and economizers are both utilized. Some energy savings are confounded between the DCV and economizer modes and canot be completely separated. The EMS also controls HV AC setpoints based on schedules and with the use of occupancy sensors in the classrooms. There are 37 packaged rooftop units (RTU) present at this school and they are all in the range of 3-5 tons of cooling. Larger spaces in the school are severed by two built up roof top units in the range of 15-20 tons of cooling. Measurement and Verification of with Other: Functional testing of the RTUs was done through the EMS ofa select number of units. The control parameters in the EMS logic indicated good operation for the economizers. Monitoring period energy savings were found by deterining the hours during which the outdoor air damper was open a greater amount than if would have been open from DCV alone. To do this, a relationship for controllng the outdoor air damper based on CO2 levels needed to be determined. Graph 3 below shows this relationship. All points above the line (y=.lx-60) correspond to economizer cooling hours. Savings from this method are of course confounded by the fact that outdoor air damper position is controlled by economizer use and by DCV use. Accounting for this confound resulted in conservative energy savings estimates. During the monitoring period, it was found that the economizer was in operation 21hours, saving 72kWh of energy during the monitoring period.

The economizer temperature range is between the building balance point temperature and the high limit cut off of the economizer. The balance point temperatue of this school was found by inspecting the OAT, economizer damper position and C02 data. The affect of DCV needed to be removed in order to determine building balance point temperature. It could be seen from plotting the CO2 and the outdoor air damper position data (Graph 3) that the outdoor air damper Measurement and Verifìcation of Root Top Units with University of Design Lab-Boise Advanced Effciency 2009 Page 17 of 24# closed in DCV mode at CO2 levels below 600 ppm. Therefore, the balance point temperatue was determined only from OAT points in which the room C02 levels were below 600 ppm and was found to be 51°F. By examining the EMS system definitions, it was determined that the economizer mode is set to stop at or above 63°F OAT. TMY3 data were sorted by OAT in the economizer range of 51°F to 63 of. A ru time frction for the compressor was applied to these hours. An annual total of 640 hours were found in this outdoor temperature rage. Values for compressor and condenser fan energy use were then multiplied by hours of economizer use to arrve at annual estimated saving of 549 kWhton*yr. When multiple controls are present for outdoor air dampers, such as DCV and economizer use, it is more diffcult to isolate savings from just one control tye. With regard to determining the amount of hours during which the compressors would have been running involves many factors. The affect of DCV wil be to bring in more fresh air and could lower or raise the amount of time a compressor wil run to provide space cooling. Precisely determining, the amount of time a compressor would ru on an annual basis would require annual data logging or a detailed energy model, and both were beyond the scope of this report. The study area is a standalone restaurant building 2,140 SF in Jerome, Idaho. The business is in operation from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. Monitoring Period: August 13th to 28th, 2009 HVAC System: This building is served by two RTUs. One serves the kitchen and preparation area (7.5 ton) and other serves the dining area (5 ton). Logged data was used to determine monitoring period energy savings and from this data an estimate of annual energy savings was calculated. Monitoring period and annual estimated energy savings were based on a 24 hours basis as cooling can be called for anytime during the day and preliminary analysis showed more than half of the economizer savings were recorded after business hours. of Root Units with Lab~Boise 2009 is 24 The monitoring period energy savings were found by isolating hours in which the thermostat was callng for cooling, the supply fan was on, and the compressor was off, these are deemed economizer hours. The economizer hours were multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power in kW to arrive at a kWh value for energy saved due to the economizer. Annual estimated saved energy was found by using TYM3 data, the balance point temperatue of the building, compressor and condenser fan power, compressor run time frctions and the economizer high limit shut-off. The TYM3 data were sorted for temperatures above building balance point and below economizer high limit shut-off. Each hour in this range was assigned a compressor run time fraction as determined from logged data. The compressor run time fractions in hours were summed over the year to arrive at a total number of hours the compressor would have been running without an economizer in use. This value (hours) was then multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power to arrve at estimated annual energy savings. For the monitoring period it was found that the economizer was in use 11.1 hours and saved 42.5 kWh of energy. On an annual basis it is estimated that this economizer wil fuction 805 hours and save 615kWhton*yr.

This existing school was newly remodeled and a new addition was made. A single classroom area was monitored. Monitoring Period: September 22nd to October 19th, 2009 HVAC System: This school has 15 RTUs in the size rage to be eligible for incentives. These units are all stand alone and are not part of an EMS. Other: All 15 RTUs were tested for functionality. One unit was not operational due to a physical jam in the economizer linkage and one unit was out of service due to an unidentifiable functional problem. All other units were functionaL. Economizer hours were found during the monitoring period by analyzing the outdoor air fraction, compressor state, and fan state. The total monitoring period hours of economizer use were then multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan energy to find the total energy saved during the monitoring period. On an annual basis TMY3 data were used to determine economizer hours. For every hour in which the OAT was in the economizer temperature range a run time fraction for the compressor was assigned to that hour. Compressor ru time fractions were found by analyzing logged data based on OAT and time of day. The total compressor run times were summed and multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power. For the monitoring period, the economizer was in use for 58 hour and saved 283 kWh of energy. On an annual basis it is estimated that he economizer would be in use for 578 hours and save 473 kWh/ton* yr. The RTUs at this school are set up to run the fans only when there is a call for cooling or heating. This arrangement leads to controls problems on several levels. The issue of most concern to economizer functionality is the short cycling of compressors in economizer temperature ranges. Sensors used to control economizers read properly only when air is moving over them. During the cooling season, when ventilation fans are not running, sensor reads are higher than ambient temperature conditions due to solar heat build up. When a call for cooling is made, the fan and compressor wil turn on, and only after the outdoor air damper moves to minimum position can the sensor report the correct OAT. At that time, usually 2-5 minutes later, the compressor wil Measurement and Verification of Root 2009 20 of 24 shut off if the OAT is within the economizer range. Facilities operating in this manner do save fan energy but this comes at a cost of shorter equipment life due to compressor short cycling and reduced indoor air quality due to fans being off during some occupied hours. Two of the major complaints in building with small rooftop units are localized temperature variations and a feeling of stuffness (Jacob, 2003). These problems are only worsened when ventilation fans are not running continuously during occupied hours. In addition a 2004 report (Fisk, 2004) suggested that economizer use, or other methods that increase outdoor air rates, have the effect of reducing airborne illness rates. This High School is located in Boise, ID and is an existing building. A major remodel effort was carred out during which the HV AC systems were updated. A classroom area was monitored in this study. Monitoring Period: July 2nd_23rd, 2009 and October 8th_30th, 2009. HVAC System: The section ofthe school studied is served by 20 RTUs that are all independently controlled and do not have a larger EMS. Other: All 20 RTUs were fuctional tested. All units passed the functional test but units with fans that were not continuously running all exhibited compressor short cycle issues. This wil be discussed in Section 4.7.3. Economizer use during the monitoring period was found by analyzing the logged data for periods in which the thermostat called for cooling, the supply fan was on, the compressor was off and the outdoor air temperatue was below 67 OF. The total monitoring period hours of economizer use were then multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan energy to find the total energy saved during the monitoring period. On an annual basis, TMY3 data were used to determine economizer hours. For every hour in which the OAT was in the economizer temperature range a run time fraction for the compressor was assigned to that hour. Compressor ru time fractions were found by analyzing logged data based on OAT and time of day. The total compressor run times were summed and multiplied by the compressor and condenser fan power.

On an annual basis, it is estimated that the economizer would be in use for 576 hours and save 490 kWhton* yr. Graph 5 below shows some of the logged data from this site. Economizer function can be seen early in the morning with the outdoor air damper opening and closing with calls for cooling coming from the thermostat (T -stat). It can also be seen in this graph that this unit has an integrated economizer. Around 8:00 AM, the economizer is open and the compressor is on. An hour later the compressor is on and the outdoor air damper has moved to its minimum position. 5 Economizer data Building 09High Scoo Emnomize Funcl 3.50 90 ¡ 13.00 ~ 2.50 g l I ~ 2.00.e IIi !- Iof LSO !~ ¡t IJI ! r LOOt I8 , f 0.50.. .____ ii. --"'.... --....---..._.-..~.-_.--..-.------.. ...-.._-~..,",."---_/70------'.----.. -, , 60 .&;! f ~ j40 :i, ~'I 0 I.t 30 i l 20¡ 10 ¡100.00 4:19 5:31 6:43 7:S5 9:07 ----T-st -Compresr ..__.

See section 4.6.3 for discussion on this schooL. The condition of economizer functionality found in this study (21 % failure rate) was significantly better than the previous study (64% failure rate) as reported by Jacobs (2003). It is hypothesized that the buildings in our study were newer than those studied by Jacobs, however Measurement and Verification of Root Units wíth of Design Lab-Boise # 2009 22 of 24 no specific reference was as to the age of buildings involved in the earlier work. Ofthe reasons that we were able to identify for economizers non-functionality, damper linkage/gear jams and sensor issues were the most common. Damper linkage/gear issues can be addressed by unit inspection. The problems noted with some sensors having large deadbands (NBI,2008) could be overcome via contractor and building owner education and explicitly disallowed in economizer incentive programs. Our study found deadband sensor issues in 15% (7) of the 47 units tested. At the time of this publication, we have not encountered any HV AC technicians in Idaho that had experience with the replacement sensor used to correct the large deadband issue. This suggests that these problems could go unnoticed and cause actual economizer hours (and energy savings) to be lower than expected. Intermittent fan operation during business hours was found to be a common problem. It is our interpretation that building operators see intermittent fan operation as an energy savings measure. It is necessary to educate these operators of the problems associated with this practice. Some R TU functionality is impaired when fans are not running on a continuous basis during occupied hours. When units are equipped with DCV, this feature is only active when fans are on. Cycling fans allow building and human contaminants to increase until there is a call for cooling (or heating). One study showed that cycling fans provided one third of the effective ventilation rate that the system was designed to provide (Jacobs, 2003). Fisk (2004) showed that increasing outdoor air ventilation can lower airborne ilness transmission. Economizer sensors are designed to read correctly when air is moving over them (Honeywell, 2008B). In our study, several recorded instances indicated that compressor cycling occurred when the OAT was in the typical economizer range due to the fact that sensors were not reading the correct OAT value. After airfow started and the sensors began to read correct values, the units would switch back into economizer mode. This increased cycling can lead to shortened equipment life. NBI (2008).

DCV is intended to save energy by means of supplying maximum design ventilation air to occupants during periods of high occupancy and supplying the minimum required ventilation to dilute building related contaminants during low occupancy periods. Reducing the amount of outside air that needs to be conditioned can save energy. Specific outdoor conditions wil drve the amount of energy savings. Carbon dioxide (C02) sensors are the industr standard to determined space occupancy for DCV. It has been shown that CO2 levels are a good determination of space occupancy (Turpin, 2001). It should be noted that CO2 is not considered an indoor air quality (IAQ) concern at levels found in typical buildings (400-2000ppm) but is used solely as an indication of occupancy level (Emmerich, 2001). DCV systems can be incorporated into existing HV AC equipment and often times operate in conjunction with existing economizer controls, sharing the same outdoor air damper (OAD). Savings from DCV systems are achieved by the reduction in outdoor supply air (OSA) that requires conditioning as compared to a fixed OSA flow rate durng all occupied hours. DCV has been studied through computer simulations and through field studies. DCV has been used for several decades but did not gain popular acceptance until the mid 1990's (Apte, 2006). It was not until 1997 that an ASHRAE interpretation of ASHRAE 62-1989 affirmed that outdoor air intake rates could be modulated based on CO2 levels to meet occupancy demand (Apte, 2006). This interpretation set the stage for DCV with CO2 sensors but ASHRAE 62-1989 did not explain how to accomplish DCV and was not written in code enforceable language (Turpin, 2001). A specific problem of Standard 62-1989 was that it stated that minimum acceptable ventilation rates must be maintained at all times but did not state what the minimum rate should be. This left engineers il-equipped to determine and justify lower ventilation rates. In an attempt to deal with this issue, engineers determined that a base ventilation rate of 20-30% of design ventilation was acceptable to meet base contaminant loads (Turpin, 2001). The greatest savings from DCV systems come from spaces that have high peak occupancy levels and unpredictable occupancy patterns (PIER, 2003). Spaces such as auditoriums, theaters and large retail stores are all examples of such occupancy types. It has also been shown that savings due to DCV is greater in extreme climates as compared to more mild climates (PIER, 2003). The reason for this is that DCV savings are often confounded with economizer savings during hours of economizer use. In mild climates economizer hours have a larger impact than in extreme climates. The greatest cooling energy savings due to DCV occur in regions with a very low number of economizer hours (Brandemuehl et al. 1999). A field study in Montreal, during the early 1990' 2 (Donnini et al. 1991, Haghighat and Donnini 1992) examined two floors in an offce building to identify the CO2-controlled DCV system. One floor was equipped with a DCV system, while the other floor served as a baseline with Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 5 of22 continuous ventilation. The system was set to have the outdoor air dampers closed at concentrations below 600 ppm, then progressively open to a maximum position at 1,000 ppm. The study took place over the period of one year and monitored both CO2 concentrations and other volatile organic compounds while keeping track of thermal comfort, ventilation system pedormance, and occupant perception of comfort once per month. Anual energy savings of 12% were measured for the floor with the DCV system. The authors noted that the outdoor dampers were closed most of the year because the occupant levels never produced CO2 levels that exceeded the minimum 600 ppm setpoint. Another demonstration project took place in a small bank in Pasco, Washington (Gabel et al. 1986). Pasco, W A is in ASHRAE climate zone 5, similar to much of southern Idaho. The study monitored energy consumption and contaminant levels of nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, other particulates, and occupant comfort response data. The building was monitored during the winter, spring, and summer seasons. Based on a curve fit of the measured energy consumption, average energy savings of7.8% were achieved for both the heating and cooling seasons. One generalized study (Roth et al. 2005) found a 10% savings in both heating and cooling energy use through DCV. Specifically, this study reported a 6-22% cooling savings, which depended on building location and building tye. They found greater savings in schools and retail than in office spaces. This same study also pointed out confusion in ASHRAE 62-2001 and described it as non-economic barrer to successful implementation of DCV. Roth et al. found a 2- 5 year simple payback for DCV systems. The varance in years is due to occupancy level patterns, building type and climate zone. An extensive computer based simulation study aimed at determining energy savings from DCV and economizers was carred out in 1999 (Brandemuehl et al.). The simulation studied 20 locations in the U.S. and four building tyes (schools, offce, large retail, sit-down restaurant). Albuquerque was one of the cities studied; the climate is warm, dr and is in ASHRAE Climate Zone 5 as is much of southern Idaho. Brandemuehl et al. investigated the relationship between DCV and economizer use. They found energy savings were maximized when DCV and economizer are used together. Control logics enable economizer damper position to overrde the DCV signal allowing for free cooling when the ambient temperature permits. Interestingly, their study found greater energy consumption when DCV systems were not coupled with economizer as compared to a fixed minimum ventilation system (no DCV) without economizer. This is due to the reduction in free cooling when a DCV is used without economizer fuctionality. For tests run using Albuquerque's climate data, a 14% cooling savings and 38% heating savings were found when using DCV coupled with an economizer as compared to DCV without an economizer. The effects of economizer mode did not playa role during the heating season and the buildings studied used fixed minimum ventilation as a baseline when comparing DCV system savings. This study suggests the diffculty in discerning electrical energy savings from DCV alone when used in conjunction with economizers. Furthermore, energy savings from a DCV system is very sensitive to the baseline minimum ventilation levels and occupancy patterns. Another study highlighted the importance of the placement of CO2 sensors and how it affects performance of the system (Emmerich, 2001) and subsequently the energy savings. According to the Carrier Corporation (2001) sensors should be placed in the zones being controlled and if Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 6of22 placed in return air ducts they should be as close to the zone controlled as possible. Sensors should not be placed in mixed air plenums of the RTU or air handlers of multi-zone systems because they represent an average CO2 level of the entire space and do not represent the specific zone controlled. Six buildings were identified for DCV monitoring from a list provided by Idaho Power Company including buildings that received economizer financial incentives. All buildings were newly constrcted or new HV AC equipment was installed between 2005 and 2007. 01 Offce 68,000 One third of entire 22,600 Chubbuck, ID buildin 04 OfficelMedical 21,104 Break room 300 Boise,ID 06 Elementa School 63,400 Classroom 1,000 Kuna,ID 08 Hi h School 65,000 Classroom 800 Middleton, ID 09 Hi h School 102,000 Classroom 780 Boise,ID 10 Office 15,750 Half of entire buildin 7,875 Meridian, ID Functional testing of DC V systems was done in accordance with the basic control tye and differed whether it was managed through an energy management system (EMS) or at the roof top unit (RTU). EMS based control systems were tested by manually lowering the CO2 setpoints to be below the current levels within a space and watching (on the EMS screen) for the OA damper to open in that space. RTU based control systems were tested by having one person exhale directly onto the C02 sensor and having another person located at the R TU watch for the damper to respond and for the DCV indicator light to iluminate (if available) on the logic controller. In addition to physical functional testing, trendlog data and other direct measurement data were analyzed. Care was taken when analyzing data to find periods during which only the DCV signals were dictating the OA damper position. Periods of economizer use or cold temperature lockout of the OA dampers were avoided. Logged data included air stream temperatures of the outside air, mixed air, return air, supply fan state (on/off), fan Amperage, C02 sensor signals, compressor state (on/off), and compressor Amperage. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab.Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 7of22 Before detailed data analysis is carred out, it is first prudent to confirm DCV system functionality. Functional testing was broken up into three system aspects. First, CO2 control signal functional testing was conducted to confirm that the control link between CO2 sensors and OA damper positioning was in place. Second, sensor placement fuctional testing was conducted to confirm that the sensors accurately reported the CO2 levels of the controlled zone. Third, the OSA level test was conducted by inspecting the air balance reports to determine the OSA rates and to confirm that the system was balanced in accordance with DCV standards. Only when DCV systems passed all three functional tests could energy savings estimates be carried out. Energy savings from DCV come from reduced outdoor air loads on the HV AC equipment. For constant volume RTU systems, energy savings come from reduced thermal conditioning loads of the ventilation air. In effect DCV systems change mixed air temperature seen by the cooling coil or heating element. With variable air volume (V A V) systems, some savings are delivered by reduced fan speed. The methods for determining cooling energy savings (only) are described below. Similar methodologies are required to determine heating and fan energy savings, but these were beyond the scope of this study. 2.3.2.1 Monitoring Period Cooling Energy Saving Logged data for mixed, retu, and outside air temperatures are used. Constant supply air temperature is assumed and the value used is confirmed with logged data. Only DCV periods that occur independent form economizer periods are used in the analysis. The baseline cooling coil load is determined using logged outdoor temperatures and return air temperatures to compute the baseline mixed air temperatue. The baseline OSA percentage used is the maximum logged OSA percentage since it corresponds to the design occupancy OSA rate. The cooling coil load during the monitored period (with DCV) is calculated using air stream temperatures and standard equations. This value is subtracted from the baseline value. Published cooling equipment effciencies are applied to the difference between the two cooling coil loads in order to arrve at cooling kWh saved during the monitoring period. 2.3.2.2 Annual Estimated Cooling Energy Savings To estimate annual cooling energy savings associated with DCV it is necessary to model annual occupancy patterns to determine OSA flow rates required and their affect on the mixed air Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 8 of 22 temperature on an hourly basis. Anual occupancy is estimated from logged CO2 patterns durng the monitoring period. Next, it is necessary to determine the baseline cooling coil load. This is determined using third generation Typical Meteorological Year (TMY3) data for outdoor air temperature and an assumed constant return air temperature to compute the baseline mixed air temperature. The baseline OSA percentage used is the maximum logged OSA percentage since it corresponds to the design occupancy OSA rate. Then standard equations are applied to determine cooling coil loads for the baseline and DCV case. Finally published cooling equipment effciencies are applied to the difference between the two cooling coil loads in order to arrve at estimated cooling kWh saved on an annual basis. Table 2 below shows the result of the fuctional performance testing at all sites. One unit failed CO2 control signal functional test. The exact reason for this failure could not be determined but it is suspected that it was caused by a wiring problem given that the physical output from the CO2 sensor did not signal damper movement despite functional performance of both the sensor and the damper individually. Two units failed the sensor placement fuctional test. These units had C02 sensors placed in common mixed air returns from multiple zones. This configuration disallows control of critical zones and is contrar to manufacturers' recommendations. Similar errors have been identified in previous research (Carrer, 2001. Emmerich, 2001). CO2 concentrations for sensors placed in this manor tend to be below typical control levels due to this zonal averaging. Graph 1 below ilustrates an example from Building 10 where the CO2 sensor was located in a common return. It shows CO2 levels rising only 100ppm above ambient levels. All systems studied failed the third functional test related to air balancing and DCV standards for OSA rates. These results wil be discussed in detail in Section 3.2.

The investigations Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofldaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 10 of22 reported in this paper took place in an interesting time in the evolution of DCV in Idaho. Due to a series of issues ranging from system design to building operations, no measureable energy savings could be determined due to DCV in the buildings examined. A summary explanation for these findings wil be given in this section and a detailed explanation wil be offered for each building in Section 4. Six building were studied in this investigation. Descriptions of the study space and the installed outdoor supply air (OSA) flow rate as determined from each building's balance reports along with fan operation settings are presented in Table 3. 01 Office 68,000 Entire Bldg.22,600 Continuous 13 04 Offce/21,104 Break room 300 Continuous 12Medical 06 Elementary 63,400 Classroom 1,000 Continuous 10School 08 High 65,000 Classroom 800 Intermittent 12School 09 High 102,000 Classroom 800 Intermittent 12School 10 Offce 15,750 Entire Bldg.7,875 Continuous 17 Intermittent fan operation was discovered at two of the sites (both high schools). Intermittent fan operation is a problem in many aspects of HV AC control systems and greatly affects DCV pedormance. With intermittent fan operation, OSA dampers only function when the supply fan is ruing, otherwise they move to a fully closed position. When supply fans are set to run only during calls for cooling or heating, C02 levels go unchecked much of the time. Graph 2 below depicts this problem over a sample of the study period at Building 08. Despite the obvious intermittent fan operation, theoretically, it could be argued that during the period when the fan is working, that one could associate savings due to DCV. This would be tre if the minimum and maximum OSA dampers were set to operate according to a DCV strategy, however, that was not the case for any buildings investigated in this study. This finding wil be explained in more detail below.

In order to actually produce energy savings, DCV systems must be configured to provide a range of ventilation rates from a minimum set point up to the design occupancy ventilation level as dictated by the CO2 signals. Establishing the correct minimum setpoint has provided confusion when using ASHRAE 62-1989, however best practices suggest the minimum set point should be 20-30% of the design occupancy (Turpin, 2001). The occupancy tyes encountered in this study suggest this range should be between 3-6 cfiperson. As is shown in Table 3, the minimum OSA levels found in this study ranged form 10-17 cfm/person, well above the recommended minimum settings. In fact, these values are very close to the code desired minimum OSA as if the building were using a fixed damper position without DCV. In addition to the inappropriately high minimum OSA levels, reviewing the balancing reports also suggested that DCV was not properly incorporated at the sites studied. Upon examination, the balancing reports presented minimum OSA only. A balancing report that incorporated DCV properly would, by definition, indicate the OSA flow rate at both the minimum damper position and the maximum damper position. No distinction was found for any of the sites studied, or upon examining the balancing reports. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 12 of22 This offce building is located in Chubbuck, ID. The building totals 68,000 SF and is four stories tall. This facility uses a central EMS system for HV AC related controls. The building has three large air handler units, each with a CO2 sensors in the common return air plenum. The EMS and data loggers were used to collect data for analysis. RTU-l serves the interior and north zones of floors two through four. RTU-2 serves the east, west and south zones of floors two through four. RTU-3 serves the first floor. The entire building encompasses over 100 zones and has a fairly steady and predictable occupancy. There are a few spaces in the building that have variable occupancy rates (meeting rooms and training spaces) that are good candidates for DCV. From the sequence of operations obtained, an adjustable setpoint threshold for DCV was found to be 1,000 ppm of CO2. Graph 3 below shows the OA damper position and the return plenum C02 level for RTU-3 for a sample of the monitorig period. C02 levels never approached the specified CO2 theshold, and the damper position does not appear to have any correlation with C02 levels. If these data represented a single zone, it would be a sign of excessive fresh air, however, since these data encompass several zones, the CO2 data are not useful as an indicator for DCV. As discussed previously, average CO2 levels across multiple zones are not an appropriate control strategy. No energy saving could be attbuted to the DCV system.

The building is a single story and totals 21,1 04SF. Seven rooftop units provide heating and cooling to the main level medical offces and basement sleep labs with RTU based control. Two spaces on the main floor are equipped with DCV, the main reception area (RTU-l), and the employee break room (RTU-4). C02 sensing is used to determine ventilation needs for each space. The CO2 sensors are wall mounted in each space and send a 0-10 Volt signal to the RTU control package to adjust damper position. Each RTU is equipped with an economizer/OA hood and control package. This control package utilizes an economizer logic board and an OA damper actuator. It should be noted that it is common to label these control packages as "Economizer Controls" but the logic board is.also capable of setting maximum/minimum damper positions, power exhaust control, DCV settings and various economizer control configurations. DCV functional testing of the two systems (as described in Section 2.3) revealed that only one of the two systems had functional DCV. The dampers on the R TV serving the reception area did Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrted Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 14 of22 not respond to elevated CO2 levels at the sensor. No control signal was detected at the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) terminals on the logic board (at the RTU), and no DCV light came on (on the logic board) when the space sensor was reading i 000+ ppm. The DCV control system serving the employee break room was found to be providing a control signal at the RTU. However, no energy savings could be attributed to DCV for this unit due to high OSA supply rates at minimum damper position. After examining air balance reports it became evident that the system was designed, installed and balanced as if no DCV were present. From logged data, it was determined that the system provided 18% fresh air at its minimum damper position. This results in 288 cfm of fresh air at all times, which is in agreement with the 300 cfm specified for minimum OSA on the drawings. Other RTUs without DCV systems were checked and found to have close to the same OSA levels supporting the notion that this system was not installed in a manner consistent with DCV installation. The problems with the high minimum OSA setting are discussed in Section 3.2. Due to this high level of OS A, by definition, no savings could be found. This school building is located in Kuna, ID. The building single story and totals 63,400 SF. This school is controlled by an EMS. Each room has its own RTU and DCV system. Logged data from both EMS trendlogs and equipment installed explicitly for this research were used for the evaluation. The EMS data were used to confirm the functionality of the DCV system as described in Section 2.2. This is an appropriate arangement with high potential for energy savings. Figure 1 below shows a screen shot from the EMS system. At the time of functional testing, the CO2 level in the room was 425 ppm. The two parameters circled are the curent OA damper position, labeled as Economizer, and the CO2 setpoint. Notice that at the current setpoint, the OA damper is in its minimum position. The reason why this damper was at 0% OSA is given below. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 15 of22 Figure 2 below shows a screen shot after the CO2 setpoint had been manually adjusted for functional testing purposes. The C02 setpoint was temporarly adjusted down to 300 ppm CO2 (the room was at 425 ppm COz), and the OA damper moved to 62% open. This shows that the system is functionaL. Two other RTUs at the building were checked using this method and were found to be fuctionaL. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 16 of22 The controls contractor did an excellent job in providing OA damper control based on C02 levels. Graph 4 below shows the OA damper position controlled by the C02 leveL. The design minimum OA for this RTU was originally adjusted at 400 cfm. This level ofOA is not consistent with DCV design; at this level ofOA no saving from DCV would be found. Shortly before our first visit, OA damper positions were modified from this installed setting. Interviewing one of the maintenance staff revealed that improper plumbing of the sewer vents had caused smells from the kitchen grease trap to be emitted near the rooftop unit intake vents. This unpleasant smelling air was drawn into the building through RTU OA dampers. To avoid this problem the maintenance staff set all the minimum OA damper positions to zero. Unbeknownst to the building operators, this change actually increased the potential savings due to DCV. However, it is not recommend that systems operate with zero outside air as this too can cause indoor air quality concerns. No savings were recorded during the monitoring period due to economizer cooling. If the minimum OSA level remains as is currently set (zero cfm), savings from DCV would be present as the building moves into heating and cooling modes. This facility would benefit from an engineer to determine the minimum building ventilation load for all spaces and set OA dampers Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Effciency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 17 of22 accordingly. Education of the maintenance staff is also required regarding the design intent of the HV AC system.

The building is a single story and totals 65,000 SF. This existing school was newly remodeled and included an addition. A single classroom area was monitored. This school uses RTU based control for DCV. Each classroom has its own R TU and wall mounted CO2 sensor. This is an appropriate arrangement with high potential for energy savings. Data logging showed that the RTUs in this school are set to run only when there is a "call" for heating or cooling. This is referred to as intermittent fan use or fan cycling. Fan cycling was Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 18 of22 found to be a problem in 38% of systems studied as part of a RTU field study (Jacob, 2003). This arrangement may in fact use less energy due to lower fan power, but is contrary to current standards and causes problems with OA sensor readings. This wil be further addressed in Section 5.. Because of this control logic, if the supply fans are not on, DCV canot be utilized. With this particular system, C02 sensors do not make "calls" for ventilation in the same way that thermostats make "calls" for heating or cooling. The C02 sensors only send a control signal to modulate the OA damper, and the OA damper can only be modulated if the fan is on. Therefore no energy savings could be measured associated directly to DCV. Graph 2 above shows that when the fan is not on, CO2 levels are elevated and uncontrolled. When the fan is on the ventilation is effective at reducing the CO2 concentration levels. Due to high minimum OSA levels savings during these times are not be present. This high school building is located in Boise, ID. This single story building totals 102,000 SF. The building completed a major remodel and new RTU based control systems were installed throughout. Each classroom has its own R TU and CO2 sensor located on a wall near the thermostat, however no EMS is present. This school has a control sequence in place in which the supply fans only run when the space is calling for heating or cooling. Graph 2 above shows tyical behavior from a system set up in this fashion. The DCV only works on a call for cooling or heating. The air balance reports show that the minimum outdoor airflow rate is set too high (Table 3). All RTUs were investigated and found to operate in this fashion. For reasons explained in Section 3.2, no savings were reported for this site. This building is a 15,750 SF office facility in Meridian, ID. Two RTUs serve the building and supply a multi-zone underfloor displacement ventilation system. The CO2 sensors are located in common return air plenums. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 19 of22 This building has CO2 sensors placed in a common return air plenum for each RTU and therefore failed the sensor placement functional test. This issue is discussed in Section 3.1. An encouraging part about this design was that the engineer suggested consideration of base CO2 loads distinctly from occupant loads in the balancing report. Mechanical drwings noted different C02 setpoints (450 cfm minimum, 1950 cfm maximum), however, the HV AC schedules used by the air balance contrctors did not reflect this information. The HV AC schedules labeled this unit simply as having 1300 cfm OSA, well above an appropriate 'base' level for this tye of occupancy and size of building ifusing DCV. Graph 1 above shows the CO2 levels during the study period. The levels are well below the CO2 setpoint. No energy savings could be found from this building due to excessively high OSA flow rates. This study has exposed several issues with regard to the design, installation, and operation of DCV systems that prohibited the association of measured energy savings with the systems monitored. While not found in this study, it is important to understand that DCV can sometimes increase energy consumption during cooling periods when not used in conjunction with OSA economizer functionality. The main issue that prevented measured energy savings in this study stems from curent mechanical code standards in Idaho, ASHRAE 62-1989, and the confusion about minimum OSA therein. Roth (2005) also cited confusion regarding ASHRAE Standard 62 and indicated it was as a primary barrer to implementation of DCV systems. ASHRAE 62-1989 was the first standard that dealt with the concept of DCV and it was not until 1997 that an official interpretation was offered by ASHRAE specifically allowing CO2 to be used to modulate outdoor air intake levels based on occupancy (Apte, 2006). ASHRAE 62-1989 lacks a clear statement of what minimum ventilation levels should be when occupancy is low in spaces. Results from our investigation suggest that mechanical engineers commonly rely upon published tables to determine ventilation rates by occupancy type. This could be for lack of better data in ASHRAE 62-1989, it could be simply out of habit, or perhaps it is to avoid conflcts with code officials. For all DCV systems in this study typical design occupancy ventilation rates were supplied as the minimum OSA level, contrary to the theory ofDCV. Interviewing code offcials and air balance contractors in Idaho revealed low understanding of DCV systems. This is an indicator of low market penetration of this technology. Education of all parties involved would benefit the design, installation, and operation of DCV systems. ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 is much improved over ASHRAE 62-1989 and is wrtten in code enforceable language. At the time of this publication, it is believed that the Idaho Division of Building safety, HV AC Board wil adopt ASHRAE 62-2007 within the next year. The results of this paper suggest this is an important step to improve pedormance of DCV systems in Idaho. Measurement and Verification of Demand Control Ventilation; Advanced Energy Efficiency 2009 University ofIdaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (Report # 20090205-03) Page 20 of22 Fan cycling was also raised as an issue that affects the performance of DCV systems. Fan cycling is perceived to be an energy savings measure by building operators. This is an incorrect perception that requires education to overcome. Operators need to understand that fan cycling reduces indoor air quality, occupant comfort, diminishes accuracy of sensor signals, and reduces DCV functionality. In addition to the education of mechanical engineers, building operators and code officials regarding proper implementation of DC V, opportnities for future work in this area include tracking and monitoring key indicators regarding DCV market penetration. For example, tracking current workloads of local air balance contractors with regard to DCV would provide insight as to the effectiveness of adoption of ASHRAE 62.1-2007 going forward. This would also provide insight to decision makers as to the effectiveness of adopting current standards par way through a code cycle. Furthermore, a follow up study designed to correct the errors found in the specific DCV systems investigated through this research (i.e. commissioning) coupled with follow up examination of post-commissioning data would ilustrate the tre potential of DCV at the sites investigated and result in verified energy savings. Finally, future work examining the performance of DCV should focus on buildings, and zones within buildings, with highly variable occupancy patterns-that have the greatest energy savings potentiaL.

The program became available to the company's Idaho customers in May 2009. The program objective is to reduce the demand on Idaho Power's system during peak times through customers' voluntary electrical use reduction. The program is active June 1 to August 31, between the hours of 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays. Customers receive notification of a demand reduction event two hours prior to the start of the event, and events wil last anywhere between two to four hours, with a maximum of 60 hours per season. In November 2008, Idaho Power selected EnerNOC, Inc. through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to implement the program. Idaho Power entered into a five-year agreement with EnerNOC in February 2009, pending the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) approval. In May 2009, the IPUC approved the contract in Order No. 30805 and requested that Idaho Power submit a preliminary report. EnerNOC is responsible for developing and implementing all marketing plans, securing all paricipants, installing and maintaining all equipment behind Idaho Power's meter used to reduce demand, tracking participation, and reporting results to Idaho Power. Idaho Power initiates demand response events by notifying EnerNOC, who then supplies the requested load reduction to the Idaho Power system. EnerNOC meets with prospective customers to identify their potential to reduce electrcal energy load during active program hours without negative impact to their business operations. Customers enroll in the program by entering into a contract with EnerNOC. EnerNOC then installs energy monitoring equipment at the customer site, simulates a demand response event to ensure customer satisfaction and performance, and officially enrolls the facility in the program. Contractually, EnerNOC has agreed to a target annual demand reduction amount for the five year contract length. Each week, EnerNOC commits a demand reduction level in megawatts (MWs) to Idaho Power that EnerNOC is obligated to meet in a demand reduction event. When Idao Power anticipates the need for capacity, it schedules the date and time of the event and notifies EnerNOC. Idaho Power has access to an EnerNOC web site that shows near real-time energy usage data of the aggregated load, and can continually monitor the success of the demand reduction event. Customers can also continuously monitor their demand reduction performance using their individual near real-time energy usage data available to them through the EnerNOC web site. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 3 Idaho Power 2009 Demand Reduction Event Results Durng 2009, the first customers enrolled in the program in May and EnerNOC committed their initial reduction amount of 0.30 MW to Idaho Power by the second week of June. The target reduction for the season was 2 MW. By the end of the season, EnerNOC had enrolled 22 participants across 33 facility sites and had committed to a maximum weekly reduction of 15.2 MW. In July, participants achieved an actual reduction of 17.1 MW, surpassing the progrm target reduction by more than eight times. Idaho Power initiated eight demand response events in July. In each case EnerNOC exceeded the committed MW reduction by the percentages shown in the table below.

Idaho Power worked with EnerNOC to co-brand marketing materials, and reviewed and edited materials such as a "Frequently Asked Questions" Sheet and press releases. Idaho Power continues to work with EnerNOC on the development of a Utility Case Study, which wil discuss the program development and rapid ramp-up process. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 4 Idaho Power Customer Recruitment EnerNOC began the recruitment process by engaging customers with a demand of 500 kW and above. Idaho Power Customer Representatives contacted most of these customers prior to contact from EnerNOC in order to inform them of the program. EnerNOC employees reached out to customers first by phone, and then set up on-site meetings to determine a customer's potential for demand reduction. Idaho Power Customer Representatives often attended the on-site meetings. EnerNOC worked with each participant to develop a demand reduction plan that could be implemented at the site without negatively impacting the participant's business. Customers then were invited to sign a contract with EnerNOC to enroll in the program. A breakdown ofMW reduction committed by customer segment for 2009 is shown below.

Some customer's meters were already enabled for pulse outputs. For each customer not receiving pulse outputs, Idaho Power metering technicians enabled the meters to trnsmit these outputs, and EnerNOC reimbursed Idaho Power for the associated costs. EnerNOC then installed monitoring equipment to obtain and transmit the pulse output to their servers. By using EnerNOC's proprietary software, PowerTrak, customers could then monitor their near real-time energy use on a continual basis. Below are examples of information participants can access at all times through the EnerNOC web site using their unique login and password. In these examples the reduction in energy use occurs on a Saturday and Sunday. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 6 Idaho Power Event Initiation Idaho Power's Power Supply group monitored system demand forecasts and evaluated up to date conditions in order to determine when demand reduction events would be initiated to reduce an expected peak on the system. Idaho Power sent e-mails to EnerNOC to initiate each event, and EnemNOC in turn, notified customers two hours prior to the event. In 2009, all of the demand reduction was achieved manually by the participants at their sites, with EnerNOC retaining no automatic control of the reduction processes. Idaho Power initiated a test event on July 7, 2009 in order to test the dispatch process and monitoring capabilities. To the participants, this event was treated as a normal demand reduction event. The next seven events in July were initiated in response to system demand needs. Event Monitoring EnerNOC submitted weekly reduction commitments to Idaho Power by the Friday proceeding the event week. During each event, participants had access to near real-time electrc use data, which displayed their baselines and reduction commitments through EnerNOC's web site. Below is an example of what a customer might see during a demand reduction event.

Six customers were enrolled across 10 sites for this event. Ofthe 19 contacts made, 4 responded to the survey, for a response rate of 21 %. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most prepared, the average level of preparedness was 8.5. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most satisfied, the average level of overall satisfaction was 8.5. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most likely to recommend, all four customers were at a 10. Results are shown below. Post-Event Survey Results July 7, 2009 Event 10 1 .

One general comment was submitted, requesting more advanced notice. EnerNOC plans to conduct a 2009 post-season survey within the first quarter of2010. Results of the survey will be made available to Idaho Power. All 22 customers who enrolled and participated in the 2009 season are enrolled to participate in 2010. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 9 Idaho Power Payment Reconciliation EnerNOC invoiced Idaho Power on a monthly basis. Invoices consist of both a capacity payment component, based on the amount of reduction available during active program times, and an energy payment component, based on measured reductions during each event. In June and August, there were no demand reduction events, so charges were based on a simple capacity payment calculation using EnerNOC weekly reduction commitments. During the month of July, in which eight demand reduction events were called, biled amounts had an energy component and a capacity component which were both based on actual participant reductions. The overall demand reduction was determined by totaling the demand reduction of each participating facility. The demand reduction of each paricipating facility was determined by subtracting their actual use from a calculated baseline. The baseline in a demand reduction program is used to measure response and establish appropriate compensation for program participants. It estimates what would have happened on an event day, absent the demand reduction event, which then allows Idaho Power to determine how much load was reduced as a result of the program. Specifically, a baseline is calculated by selecting the three highest load days of the preceding ten non-event business days. A "day-of- adjustment" is then applied to the baseline to shift or scale the baseline based on electricity usage in the hours prior to an event so that electrcity usage predicted by the baseline most closely matches actual electrcity usage on the day of an event (absent any demand reduction program response). These adjustments are used to account for the impact that temperature has on a participant's expected load. Without this adjustment, the baseline could underestimate expected electrcity usage on the event day. EnerNOC provided customer baseline and reduction data to Idaho Power with the July invoice, and Idaho Power worked in parallel, using the actual five minute interval data received from EnerNOC to determine baselines and reductions independently. Where there were discrepancies, the two companies worked together to determine the cause and correct any mistakes. Discrepancies were due to a misinterpretation of the day-of-adjustment calculation and a misunderstanding as to whether or not past event days would be included in the baseline. At the end of the reconciliation process, both companies agreed upon the individual reductions and composite reductions for each event. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 10 Idaho Power Cost..Effectiveness In the initial cost-effectiveness analysis, Idaho Power estimated that the commercial demand response program would be cost-effective, both from the Utility Cost (UC) and Total Resource Cost (TRC) perspectives, beginning in year two (2010). Year one of the program was viewed as a ramp up year. It was projected that the TRC benefit-cost (b/c) ratio in year one would fall below 1.0, but that building the program foundation would contrbute to a cost-effective program in ensuing years. EnerNOC's initial goal was to achieve 2 MW of demand reduction, and the cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that under normal circumstances the program must reach 15 MW for the value in demand savings to be greater than program costs and for the program to be cost-effective. However, after determining actual expenses and MW demand reductions achieved in 2009, the program was cost-effective in its first year. Lower expenses and higher demand reduction contrbuted to the program's cost-effectiveness in year one. Following are some ofthe reasons: · Program administration costs were one-third of what was originally projected. · Despite the late start, EnerNOC experienced a higher paricipation rate than what was originally expected. This resulted in higher demand reductions than were assumed in the original cost- effectiveness analysis. · Most notably, the assumption in the cost-effectiveness analysis was that EnerNOC would achieve the exact MW demand reduction they committed to provide to Idaho Power. In actuality, EnerNOC achieved a much greater reduction than the committed MW reduction. The actual TRC b/c ratio in 2009 was 1.60, and not the 0.51 originally predicted, as shown below. 2009Fl P kM.C Efjexeaanaj!ement ost ectiveness MW Reduction TRC Ratio Projected 2 0.51 Actual 11.1 1.60 The actual cost of the program in 2009 was $528,681. In the remaining years of the contract, the program is expected to be cost-effective with a projected contract life b/c ratio of 1.11 from the TRC perspective. FlexPeak Management 2009 Preliminary Report Page 11 Idaho Power Conclusion Given the speed with which FlexPeak Management was implemented and given demand reduction results that far exceeded expectations, Idaho Power considers 2009 to be an extremely successful year. Not only was the company able to offer customers a quality progrm with multiple benefits, but FlexPeak Management's contrbution to Idaho Power's system peak reduction was more than eight times the original forecast capacity of the program. Going forward, Idaho Power wil continue to evaluate the best use of the program in order to meet the program objectives. Results wil be reported anually in the Demand Side Management Anual Report.

The Program is designed to reduce peak load by turning off participating irrigation pumps during peak demand hours through the irrigation season in return for a financial incentive. Through this Program, the Company has been successful in reducing load during the summer afternoon hours when overall costs to provide energy are typically higher. On September 18, 2006, Idaho Power (the Company) filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the Commission) a request for authorization to implement certain changes to the Program to improve participation. The first proposed change was to increase the demand credits offered to participating customers. Second, the Company proposed to allow more customers to participate by decreasing the pump horsepower (hp) limit from 100 hp to 75. On November 30, 2006 the Commission approved the proposed changes through Order No. 30194 and subsequently, the Company implemented the changes during the 2007 irrigation season. The Commission's Order No. 30194 directed the Company to file a report annually on December 1 for three years. This report provides the Commission with the 2008 operational results of the Irrigation Peak Rewards Program, and is filed in compliance with Order No. 30194. The operational results presented in this document represent a review of the Program's performance in 2008 on a system-wide basis. The 2004 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) set an initial load reduction target for the Program of 30 MW. The 2006 changes to the Program were estimated to achieve an additional 4.5 MW load reduction for a total of 34.5 MW at the generation level, which is adjusted for line losses. At the customer level this equates to an overall load reduction of 30.5 MW, which removes line losses. The peak reduction numbers reported throughout the remainder of this document are for Idaho Power's service territory in Idaho and Oregon and are presented at the customer leveL. The Program enrollment for 2008 was 897 service points across five geographic regions of the Company's Idaho and Oregon service territories. Within these five regions, there were 3,955 eligible metered service points with at least 100 cumulative hp. Another 949 service points were eligible with pumps ranging from 75-99 cumulative hp, with 75 hp being the minimum amount eligible under the Program. Approximately 1,340 customers operated the 4,904 eligible service points The Program utilizes pre-programmed, electronic, time-activated switches to turn off pumps of participating irrigation customers during pre-determined intervals in exchange for a financial incentive. Customers can choose to participate one, two, or three weekdays per week during the months of June, July, and August. The 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 2 following are the interruption options (reported in Mountain Standard Time) available to customers with the corresponding incentive amounts: · One weekday per week, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. . Two weekdays per week, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. · Three weekdays per week, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. $2.01 per kW Demand $3.36 per kW Demand $4.36 per kW Demand The monthly incentive amount credited to customers was calculated for each metered service point by multiplying the monthly biling demand for the months of June, July, and August by the corresponding incentive amount based on the interruption option selected by the customer. Throughout 2008, the Company continued to share Program information and progress with the Energy Efficiency Advisory Group (EEAG) members through Program updates. Members of EEAG represent a cross-section of customer interests including residential, industrial, commercial and agriculturaL. In 2008, EEAG membership also included Company representation, Commission Staff members (Staff) and a representative from the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association (IIPA). In the spring of 2008 Idaho Power convened a workshop with the IIPA and Staff to discuss ideas to improve the Program. The outcome of this workshop resulted in a proposal that was presented to the EEAG and is currently before the Commission seeking approval for significant changes to the Program. Among the proposed changes are increased incentives offered to Program participants. It is anticipated by the Company that the proposed changes wil provide increased peak demand reduction through the Program. If the proposal is approved by the Commission, the results of the proposed changes will be presented in the 2009 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report to be submitted by December 1,2009. Summary of Results The following items summarize the key results of the Program on a system-wide basis: i: In 2008 the Program achieved a maximum peak load reduction of 34.5 MW. i: Two hundred sixty (260) customers, or 19.4% of the 1,340 eligible customers, chose to participate in the Program. i: Eight hundred ninety-seven (897), or 18.3%, of the 4,904 eligible metered service points were enrolled in the Program. 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 3 (J Of the 897 enrolled service points, seventy-three (73) were pumps with 75-99 hp. All other enrolled pumps were 100 hp or greater. (J The Program achieved a total biling demand enrollment of 164,733 kW. (J The Program produces substantial and measurable impacts on peak demand. The total load reduction from 4-8 p.m. associated with the Program averaged 27.8 MW in June, 29.6 MW in July, and 21.1 MW in August. (J The Program costs as of October 31,2008 were $1,420,307. (J The Program results show a 30-year average benefit cost (B/C) ratio of 1.09. Conclusions (J The Company plans to continue the Program because it is a cost-effective way to reduce customer demand at the optimal time of day. However, the company has recently filed with the Commission to add a dispatchable option to this Program. (J In 2008, continued participation of eligible service points enrolled in the Program helped the Company to achieve its 2004 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) targets for peak load reduction. (J The Program achieved a maximum peak load reduction that occurred during the last two weeks in June of 34.5 MW at the customer leveL. The average peak reduction in July was 29.6 MW. The Program had a target load reduction of 30.5 MW at the customer leveL. 2008 Irrgation Peak Rewards Report Page 4 REVIEW OF PARTICIPATION, OPERATIONS, AND LOAD REDUCTION 1. Participation Informational letters were mailed in February of 2008 to eligible customers. The letters were the primary method of marketing the Program. Each customer letter included a Program explanation, the Program's incentive structure, a listing of the customer's eligible service points, and a Program application. In addition, follow up telephone calls were made in March 2008 to all prior Program participants that had not yet sent in their application. Significant effort, including customer visits, was made to enroll as many customers as possible. Map 1 portrays Idaho Power's service territory divided into five regional areas ("region"). The regions are titled Western, Canyon, Capital, Southern, and Eastern. These regions wil be used throughout this report referring to Program information. Map 1.

Program Opt-out During the 2008 irrigation season, twelve (12) service points were removed from Program participation after June 1 due to various unforeseen circumstances by customers. Under the Program, if a service point is taken out of the Program after June 1, the participant is assessed a fee of $100. This resulted in a total of $1,200 which was credited to the Energy Efficiency Rider funding account to offset the initial Program costs. 3. Interruption Failures Electronic timers manufactured by Grasslin Controls Corp. (Model GMX-891-0- 24) were used to interrupt power to the customers' pumps during the interruption period. The timers were installed in the pump motor control circuit to prevent the pump from running during the interruption period. In order to meet the load reduction targets of the Program, the Company tries to minimize interruption failures. However, there were a small number of interruption failures discovered in 2008. In most cases the failures were corrected quickly with little or no impact to Program performance. Most of the electronic timers operated without incident with less than 3% percent of participants requesting a follow-up visit. The timer issues requiring a follow-up 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 7 visit are detailed in Table 3. Table 3 lists the types of problems resolved by either Company personnel or contracted electricians. Table 3. Known equipment problem resolutions. ISSUE QUANTITY Replaced faulty time clock*45 Electrician troubleshooting calls 50 TOTAL 95 *Replaced during re-programming in the spring. While each of the known timer related problems detailed in Table 3 were resolved in a timely manner, a review of the Company's load research meter data revealed that there were some failures that went undetected for the entire irrigation season. Fifty-four (54) load research meters are distributed among the 897 participating service points in order to study the usage patterns of the customers and the load impact of the Program. The data showed that the energy demand that failed to be included in scheduled interruptions increased from 2007 by about 16%. The interruption failures are evident in the load reduction graphs provided in this report. Upon further investigation, it was found that these failures were due to various mechanical problems. The Company continues to address this issue through monitoring of load research data along with an increased number of site visits for electronic timer inspections. 4. Load Reduction Achieved The Program load reduction impacts were determined by utiizing information and conclusions from the impact evaluation conducted in 2004 by Summit Blue Consulting, LLC. The evaluation utiized load research meter data for both Program participants and non-participants. This information was used in a regression analysis to develop a statistical kW load modeL. The model considered weather conditions, time of day, day of week, and month in determining realization rates for six 2-week periods during the course of the irrigation season. The Company has utilzed these realization rates since the 2005 season. The realization rate is defined as the likelihood an irrigation service point is operating during the interrupt period, and provides a clear picture of Program impacts. The realization rate can be characterized as simply the percentage of monthly biling demand that is expected to result in an actual load reduction on the system during a given interruption period. The realization rate is highest at the end of June and the beginning of July when most irrigation pumps are operating nearly 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. The realization rate is lower later in the irrigation season when irrigation pumps are turned off due to crop maturity. 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 8 Table 4 shows the Program evaluation results from the Summit Blue impact analysis for each of the six 2-week time periods. The highest realization rate occurred during the second half of June, with a realization rate of 64%. The lowest realization rate occurred during the second half of August, with a realization rate of 32%. The average total realization rate is 50%. These realization rates were used to calculate the Program load reduction for this year. The Company verified the realization rates prepared by Summit Blue through past and current analyses, including analysis of the 2008 load research data. Based on these analyses, Idaho Power believes the realization rates from the Summit Blue study continue to be a reliable and accurate means to estimate the Program's load reduction. Idaho Power does not propose any changes to the realization rates at this time, but wil continue to review the realization rates in the future. Table.4. Realization rates by period.

However, due to service point size variability, enrollment requests by customers, and enrollment opt-outs, etc., the load cannot be exactly balanced. The peak billng demand data for the months of June, July, and August 2008 were used to estimate the amount of load enrolled in the Program. The total biling demand enrolled in the Program was 164,733 kW. Table 5 shows how the enrolled load was distributed by region. 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 9 Table 5.

The highest peak load historically occurs in late June or July between 4-8 PM. 2008 Irrigation Peak Rewards Report Page 12 Graph 4 represents demand response impact to the entire Company system firm load on various days in July 2008. The reduction in system firm load as a result of the Program occurs at 4 PM for the corresponding days and is approximately 30-40 MW for each day. However, July 3rd includes system load impacts from the AlC Cool Credit program. The AlC Cool Credit program was initiated at 3:00 pm on July 3rd. The line representing July 9th also includes impacts from the AlC Cool Credit program. The AlC Cool Credit program was utilized beginning at 4:00 pm on July 9th. Graph 4.

Page iv Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power Executive Summary The Irrgation Peak Rewards program (the program) is a voluntary demand response program that has been available to Idaho Power's agricultural irrgation customers since 2004. The program is designed to reduce peak load by turning off participating irrgation pumps during peak demand hours through the irrgation season in return for a financial incentive. Though this program, Idaho Power has been successful in reducing load during the summer afternoon hours, which are the hours that are drving Idaho Power's need for new resources. A major change in the demand response program occurred in 2009. This change expanded the dispatch capability of Idaho Power to reduce system demand during critical summer peak load events. The Irrgation Peak Rewards program, originally identified as a resource in 2004, was trnsitioned to act primarily as a direct load control or dispatch program. In prior years, demand reduction through the progrm was controlled only with programmed timers that provided demand reduction from irrgation pumping systems from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays in June, July, and August. Options added to the program in 2009 allowed direct load control or dispatch capabilities to match demand response resources with actual system peaks. The change in the program has increased the programs peaking resource capacity from its previous range of34 to 37 megawatt (MW) to a forecasted impact of 260 MW at program matuty in 2012. Actual demand reductions from the revised program wil depend on the level of irrgation customer participation and Idaho Power need. This report provides the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) with the 2009 operational results of the Irrgation Peak Rewards program, and is filed in compliance with IPUC Order No. 30194. The operational results presented in this document represent a review ofthe program's pedormance in 2009 on a system-wide basis. The redesigned Irrgation Peak Rewards program was introduced at the October 2, 2008, Energy Efficiency Advisory Group (EEAG) meeting. Members of EEAG represent a cross-section of customer interests, including residential, industrial, commercial, and agriculturaL. IPUC staff are also members of the EEAG. Idaho Power proposed that the Irrgation Peak Rewards program include a dispatch demand response option offered to Idaho Power customers in Idaho and Oregon. Three options would be available for customers to choose between: 1) the Timer Option, 2) an Automatic Dispatch Option that allows Idaho Power to remotely turn participants' pumps on or off, or 3) a Manual Dispatch Option for large service location with 1,000 horsepower (Hp) or greater option that allows participating customers, after being notified by Idaho Power, to tu pumps off manually during summer peak hours. Based on the success of the current Irrgation Peak Rewards program and the potential for substantially increased cost-effective, peak-demand reduction, the EEAG recommended that Idaho Power expand the program. Throughout 2008, Idaho Power researched various equipment, options, and costs for dispatch equipment for use on irrgation pumps. The Irrgation Peak Rewards program, which included the dispatch demand response option, was fied with the IPUC on November 10,2008, and approved by the IPUC on January 14,2009. The program was approved in Oregon by the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) on February 25, 2009. Idaho Power offered the program to all agricultual customers receiving Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Page 1 Idaho Power Company service under Irrgation Rate Schedule 24 in 2009. Thoughout 2009, Idaho Power continued to share program information and progress with EEAG members through program updates. Details on the approved Irrgation Peak Rewards progrm changes are listed as part of Case No. IPC-E-08-23 on the IPUC Web site, and are identified as Schedule 23 in both Idaho and Oregon. Summary of Program Results The following items summarize the key results of the program on a system-wide basis: · In 2009, the program achieved a maximum peak load reduction of 160 MW. · Three hundred seventy-four (374) customers, or 6% ofthe 6,379 eligible customers, chose to participate in the progrm. · One thousand five hundred and twelve (1,512), or 8.6%, of the 17,621 eligible metered service points were enrolled in the progrm. · Of the 1,512 enrolled service points, 382 were enrolled in the Timer Option, and 1,130 were enrolled in the Dispatch Option. · The program achieved a total billng demand enrollment of301,839 kilowatts (kW), of which 58,057 kW were enrolled in the Timer Option and 243,782 kW were enrolled in the Dispatch Option. · The program costs as of October 31,2009 were $9,636,796. · Results show a 20-year average benefit cost (B/C) ratio of 1.54. · Customer Satisfaction Survey results indicated that almost 90% of the responding participants were satisfied with the program. Program Details Timer Option The pre-programmed Timer Option, offered previously, was made available to all irrgation customers. Installation fees between $250 and $500 were applied to paricipating service locations less than 75 Hp. · Customers could choose to have all irrgation pumps on a single metered service point turned off on one, two, or three weekdays per week. Page 2 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power · Idaho Power determined the specific weekday or weekdays to schedule the interrption of all pumps at each service point. · Interrptions occurred from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dispatch Option The Dispatch Option allowed Idaho Power to initiate load control events that prevented pumps from operating at participating metered service points. Installation fees between $500 and $1,000 applied to participating service points less than 30 Hp. Customers could participate in one of three ways: · Have a one-way communication device installed that allowed Idaho Power to control all the customer's pumps at a single metered service point. · Have a two-way communication device installed that allowed both Idaho Power and the customer to control all the pumps at a single service point. · Service points with multiple pumps and over 1,000 cumulative Hp were eligible to participate as a Large Service Location. Customers under this classification could choose to manually control which pumps were controlled during a load control event. The parameters of the Dispatch Option, which limits the impact on customers, include the following: · Idaho Power wil initiate control (dispatch) events on a customized M2M Communications Web site. · Dispatch load control events can occur any weekday, excluding July 4, between the hours of 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. · Load control events can occur up to 4 hours per day and up to 15 hours per week, but no more than 60 hours per program season. · Idaho Power wil give notice by 4 p.m. the day prior to the initiation of a control event. · If prior notice of a load control event has been sent, Idaho Power may choose to cancel the event by 1 :30 p.m. on the scheduled day ofthe event. · Idaho Power wil give 30 minutes notice prior to start of all actual events and prior to the end of all actual events. · The provisions for this program wil not apply for any time Idaho Power interrpts the customer's load for a system emergency or any other time that a customer's service is interrpted by events outside the control of Idaho Power. Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Page 3 Idaho Power Company Program Incentives A customer's incentive appeared as a bil credit that summed the demand credit and energy credit applied to a customer's monthly bils for the calendar months of June and July. . The demand credit is calculated by multiplying the monthly billng kW by the demand-related incentive amount for the interrption option selected by the customer. The energy credit is calculated by multiplying the monthly biling kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage by the energy-related incentive amount for the interrption option selected by the customer. Incentives offered are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Option incentives. Option Demand Credit ($ per biling kW) Energy Credit ($ per biling kWh) One Weekday Twò Weekdays Three Weekdays $3.15 $4.65 $4.65 plus plus $0.002 $0.007 $4.65 plus $0.031 All customer incentives participating in the Timer or Dispatch options are calculated using Idaho Power meter biling data. Idaho Power's Customer Information System (CIS) calculates the bil credits though contrct riders. Installation fees and incentives for service points classified as Large Service Locations are completed though manual adjustments using interval meter data. Program enrollment for 2009 was 1,512 service points across five geographic regions of Idaho Power's Idaho and Oregon service areas. Approximately 6,379 customers operated the 17,621 eligible service points. There were 750 potential Oregon customers and 5,629 potential Idaho customers. Program Opt-out During the 2009 irrgation season, one service point paricipant in the Timer Option and one service point participant in the Dispatch Option requested removal from the program. Both requests occurred after June 15. Under the program, if a service point is taken out of the Program after June 15, the participant is assessed a fee. The fee for each service point removed is $100 for the Timer Option and $500 for the Dispatch Option. This resulted in a total of $600, credited to the Energy Efficiency Rider (Rider) funding account to offset the initial program costs. Under the rules of the Dispatch Option, participants have the ability to opt-out of dispatch events five times per service point. Each opt-out incurs a fee of $0.005 per kWh based in the current month's biling kWh, which may be prorated to correspond with the dates of program operation. Page 4 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power During the 2009 irrigation season, 24 services points opted out 38 times. These penalties were also credited to the Rider account. Review of Program Results Participation During winter 2009, Idaho Power began program marketing strategies. Ten program workshops were sponsored across Idaho Power's service area, and Idaho Power staff participated in five agriculture shows. New program offerings were presented, and demonstrations of the new dispatch demand response option were provided. In February 2009, over 6,000 customer mailings were sent to all eligible Idaho Power irrgation customers. The mailing included a program explanation, a program application, the program's incentive strcture, a listing of the customer's eligible service points, and a potential incentive estimate for each program option based on the customer's 2008 usage. Additionally, one~on~one training with Idaho Power agrculture representatives familiarized customers with the new technology and program details. Idaho Power experienced great interest in the program and installed all of the available control devices, which totaled 1,274 by the end ofthe season. Program participation exceeded the number of available devices. After July 31, 2009, when more devices became available, 51 additional devices were installed for customers desiring to participate in the progrm in 2010. Figue 1 portrays Idaho Power's service area divided into five regional areas-Western, Canyon, Capital, Southern, and Eastern.

Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Pagel Idaho Power Company Operations Equipment and Monitoring Timer Option Electronic timers manufactured by Grasslin Controls Corp. (Model GMX-891-0-24) were used to interrpt power to customers' pumps during the interrption period. The timers were installed in the pump motor control circuit to prevent the pump from running during the interrption period. To meet the load reduction tagets ofthe program, Idaho Power tres to minimize interrption failures. Most of the electronic timers operated without incident with 21 (5.5%) of service points needing a follow-up visit by a contract electrcian to resolve a problem prior to the program start date on June 15,2009. All 382 serice points paricipating in the Timer Option were checked and re-programmed for the 2009 irrgation season. While each known timer problem was resolved, a review of Idaho Power's load research data shows some issues went undetected and unreported by customers. These failures were due to mechanical and electrcal problems. Idaho Power continues to address these issues through equipment monitoring and site visits. Dispatch Option M2M Communications was selected as the equipment provider, based on having the best equipment for the lowest price of the options Idaho Power researched. Currently, Idaho Power buys the equipment from M2M Communications and pays to have it installed on Idaho Power customers' pump panels. Irrgation Load Control, LLC (ILC) formed as a joint venture between M2M Communications and Sparan Energy Control Systems to provide installation and service for Idaho Power. ILC's managing partners have a record of accomplishment of working together and have successfully implemented the Rocky Mountain Power Irrgation demand response program in 2008. Idaho Power initiates Irrgation Peak Rewards dispatch control events on a customized M2M Communications' Web site. A Web-to-wireless remote control system, developed by M2M Communications utilized the Loadstar(ß Model MI0lcontrol device installed in customers' pump motor control circuit to turn off or prevent the pump from ruing durng an interrption event. This equipment provided remote cellular communication or remote satellte communication. The Web service allowed Idaho Power to dispatch interrption events on the days Idaho Power determined to be system peak days. Two-way communication from the device provided the feedback used by Idaho Power to determine the status of the customers' equipment surrounding an interrption event. Customers had the option of using the equipment for their own management purposes outside of interrption events and received a detailed user's guide. The combination of M2M utilization of new hardware, softare, and communications equipment, in addition to Idaho Power launching a new dispatch option, resulted in challenges described below. Idaho Power responded to the emerging challenges by working closely with Page 8 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power M2M to correct concerns in preparation for the 2010 season. No additional costs to the Rider or Idaho Power were incurred because of the solutions. The Irrgation Peak Rewards dispatch load control system experienced a number of different issues that affected Idaho Power's ability to fully realize its load-shedding potentiaL. The system experienced highly inconsistent performance from load control devices equipped with satellte network communications. In spring 2009, the satellite company experienced problems properly placing a group of newly deployed communications satelltes into their intended orbits. These problems resulted in the satelltes operating on reduced power, which introduced gaps in coverage during which the dispatch load control devices could not communicate with any satellite. Performance inconsistencies were characterized by unpredictable latencies between the sending of dispatch commands to control units in the field and receipt of those commands by the field units. These latencies resulted in variable-length delays in shutting off irrgation pumps during load control events. In a few cases, issued commands did not reach the intended devices for more than one day. In response to these satellite communication issues, prior to the load control season for 2010, all existing satellte-based dispatch load control devices wil be replaced with similar devices that use a different satellte network. Nearly all ofthe load control units were equipped with cellular radio modems. Several configurable operating parameters in these cellular modems were pre-programmed by M2M Communications during device manufacture. A significant number of these devices experienced events that caused the radios to be restored to their factory default values. The result was that the M2M Communications embedded firmware could no longer properly communicate with the cellular modem. An average of 24% of all devices did not provide any communication on whether or not they were functioning. The impact that this problem had on turning off pumps during power dispatches is unclear. Testing at M2M Communications showed that some of these devices could stil receive and execute the commands to turn off pumps, but they coulq not call out to acknowledge and verify that the power had been controlled. A new version of embedded firmware was developed to correct this problem. As of November 2009, approximately 30% of the cellular-based units have received this firmware upgrade. A small number of dispatch load control devices were wired incorrectly into the control circuit on the pump electrcal service paneL. This resulted in several cases where the load control device would operate properly, but the associated pump would continue to run. All such problem devices are believed to have been identified and the wiring corrected. Various load control units experienced intermittent performance due to weak cell signal strength. A new, more strngent standard has been implemented that increases the minimum acceptable signal strength from -100 decibels (dB) to -95dB. Cell signal strength is being tested as par of the firmware upgrade process, and load control devices wil be upgraded with high-gain antennas as necessary.

Load reduction impacts were determined by reviewing four different sets of data and past information contained in an impact analysis done by Summit Blue Consulting, LLC, in 2004. The four data sets reviewed and summarized in this section are M2M Communication data, Idaho Power Load Research data, Idaho Power sample substation data, and system load data. This information was used to determine realization rates to estimate load reduction achievement. Realization rate is defined as the likelihood an irrgation service point is operating during the interrpt period and can represent program equipment failures, which is used to determine program impacts. The realization rate can be characterized as the percentage of monthly biling demand expected to result in an actual load reduction on the system durng a given interrption Page 10 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power period. This rate is highest at the end of June and the beginning of July when many irrgation pumps are operating nearly 24x7. The realization rate is lower later in the irrgation season when many irrgation pumps are turned off due to crop maturity. Load Research Analysis- Timer Option Each year Idaho Power reviews the realization rates, from the impact evaluation prepared by Summit Blue Consulting, LLC, through analysis of current load research data. This year, Idaho Power had 16, 15-minute interval load research service points in the Timer Option. Figure 3 shows the average hourly kW for all days in July and shows the average load reduction per participating metered service point under the Timer Option within the load research sample. The graphed data represents the average demand (kW) for all interrpt days in 2009. Figure 3. Average metered demand (kW) Timer Option.

When compared to the average biling demand of 139 kW for these service points, the analysis yields an estimated 39% reduction because of the timers. This is the lowest percentage Idaho Power has achieved for the Timer Option. Furher analysis indicated this was caused primarily by the extremely low realization rate (6%) in the second half of June. The rate was impacted by the high amounts ofrain across Idaho Power's service area in late June. Based on these analyses, Idaho Power believes the realization rates from the impact evaluation continue to be a reliable and accurate means to estimate the program's load reduction for Timer Option participants. Table 5 shows the program evaluation results from Summit Blue Consulting, LLC's impact evaluation for each two-week period applicable to the 2009 program season.

Figure 4 displays the average hourly kW for all days in July and shows the average load reduction per participating metered service point under the Manual Dispatch Option.

When compared to average biling demand of2,765 kW, the analysis results in an estimated 30% reduction by this group of customers for all events in 2009. The 30% is an expected number for this group because they were able to leave pumps on during events. Because this data represents all service locations in this group, the load reduction calculation for this group is easily obtained. Page 12 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power Load Research Analysis-Automatic Dispatch Option The Automatic Dispatch Option represents the rest of the program participation. This was the largest participation group with 1,105 service points enrolled. Idaho Power had l5-minute load research meters on 54 service points throughout this group. Figure 5 shows the average hourly kW for the days in July when the load was dispatched at the same time from 4:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m. It also shows the average load reduction per participating metered service point under the Automatic Dispatch Option.

Analysis of the data used to create the prior two graphs result in an average 347 kW before the events and 63 kW during the events. When compared to average biling demand of 474 kW, the analysis results in an estimated 60% reduction by this group of customers for all events in 2009. M2M Communications Device Analysis-Automatic Dispatch Option For the Automatic Dispatch Option, Idaho Power also used device communication data from M2M Communications. A complete log of the operational data for each automatic device was analyzed for each day a dispatch event occurred. The realization rates determined in Table 6 show the number of control devices that were turned off during each dispatch event in 2009. The analysis of this data resulted in an average realization rate of 40% for all events. This low realization rate is primarily a result of issues already described.

As an example, Figue 7 describes the load data on the event day of July 16 from a particular substation in the Eastern area in which there were 30 paricipants with a total biling demand of 5.6 MW. Figure 7. Load data from a particular substation in the Eastern area on July 16.

When compared to the total biling demand of program participants on this particular substation, Idao Power calculated a realization rate of 66%. System Load Data Analysis Another way to view the total program impact is to look at total system firm load data. The system firm load during the summer months has the greatest electrical demand of the year. The highest peak load historically occurs in late June or July in the afternoon. Figure 8 represents demand response impact to the entire Idaho Power system firm load on July 16, 2009. On this date, load control events were initiated using the Irgation Peak Rewards, FlexPeak Management, and A/C Cool Credit progrms. Interrptions occurred from 4:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m. at paricipating service locations in all regions under the irrgation Dispatch Option, the Timer Option, and the FlexPeak Management progrm. The AlC Cool Credit program interrptions occurred from 4:00 p.m. though 7:00 p.m. Based on the current day forecast, it was estimated that loads would have reached 200 MW higher than the actual loads at peak hour. Using this information, the calculated load reduction attbutable to Irrgation Peak Rewards is estimated to be 162 MW, which results in an overall program realization rate of 47%. Figure 8. Total system load on July 16. Demand Response Impact on System Load (MW) July 16,2009 2,550~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (.)Estimated system load with no demand response. After observing the impact that the control event days of July 2, 16, and 17 had on Idaho Power's total system load durng the traditional hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the company decided to modify the dispatch procedure slightly to improve the effectiveness of the program. Simultaneously tuing off all pumps enrolled in the Dispatch Option created the problem of Page 16 Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Idaho Power moving the peak time to outside of the 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. period. To resolve this problem, the Dispatch Option participants were grouped to allow Idaho Power to turn off approximately half of the pumps between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and the other half ofthe pumps between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. This spread the dispatched load reduction over a longer period, but provided one and one-half hours of overlap in which both groups were dispatched during the time Idaho Power typically experiences its highest system loads. Figure 9 represents demand response impact to the entire Idaho Power system firm load on July 22,2009. On this date, load control events were initiated using the Irgation Peak Rewards program and FlexPeak Management program.

Idaho Power chose to use the realization rates calculated from load research data to determine progrm load reduction. These results are described in the following section. Load Reduction Achieved Idaho Power attempted to distrbute the Timer Option participating service points evenly throughout each weekday, based on cumulative load reduction potentiaL. However, due to service point size variability, enrollment requests by customers, enrollment opt-outs, and other variables, Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Page 19 Idaho Power Company the load canot be exactly balanced. All paricipants in the Dispatch Option were grouped into five areas to be dispatched on each scheduled event day. Peak biling demand data for the months of June and July 2008 were used to estimate the amount of load enrolled in the program. The total biling demand enrolled in the program was 301,839 kW. Table 7 shows how the enrolled load was distrbuted by area. Table 7. Enrolled billng demand by region (kW).

Table 8 indicates the realization rates Idaho Power used to determine the load reduction for each day of the summer 2009. As previously described, Idaho Power uses the realization rates from Summit Blue Consulting, LLC, for the Timer Option. However, due to extremely wet weather in June, Idaho Power's load research data analysis resulted in a lower realization rate of6% in the second half of June. Therefore, Idaho Power applied this realization rate for this time period. Table 8. Realization rates used for program options.

Customer incentives were 71 % of the total costs. In future years, when previously installed devices are utilized, the customer incentive wil make up a larger percentage of the overall costs. Customers paricipating in the Irrgation Peak Rewards program realized an average annual bil savings of 22% on each service point enrolled. Customers enrolled in the Timer Option realized an average annual bil savings of 10%, and Dispatch Option customers realized a 27% savings. The average incentive on a per-Hp basis across all options was $16.50. Table 10 displays the annual program costs as of October 31,2009. Program costs remain consistent on a year-to-year basis. Table 10. Annual program costs. Item Program Costs $972,073 $1,695,611 $6,826,581 $142,531 $9,636,796 Materials and Equipment Installation and Contract Services Incentive payments Marketing and Administration Total Benefit-Cost Analysis The B/C analysis for the Irrigation Peak Rewards progrm is based on a 20-year model that uses financial and DSM alternative costs assumptions from Appendix D-Technical Appendix for the 2006 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). As published in the 2006 IRP, for peaking alternatives, such as demand response programs, 162 MW simple cycle combustion turbine is used as a cost basis. The levelized capacity cost factors applied are $64.92/kW/yr. The benefit for shifted energy use in the Irrgation Peak Rewards program is calculated using demand-side management Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Page 21 Idaho Power Company (DSM) alternative energy costs as determined by Idaho Power's Power Supply model, AURORAxmp(ß and published in the 2006 IRP. Idaho Power's cost-effectiveness model for the Irrgation Peak Rewards program is updated annually with actual benefits and costs. In 2009, the updating of the cost-effectiveness model resulted in a utility B/C ratio of 1.54. For demand response programs, the utility cost test is the most relevant B/C analysis. For the Irrgation Peak Rewards program and other demand response programs, the paricipants have little or no cost. The majority of the costs (Table 9) are the incentive payments made by the utility, and almost all other expenses are incurred by the utility. The benefits are based on peak reduction and shifted energy use. Table 11 summarizes the inputs that were used in the cost-effectiveness modeL. In 2009, the program results yielded a 20-year average B/C ratio of 1.54. Table 11. Benefit-cost model inputs.

The purose of the survey was to solicit feedback regarding the progrm. The ten-question survey was mailed to all 374 irrgators enrolled in the Irgation Peak Rewards progrm during summer 2009. Durng the two-week period, 129 participants responded, yielding a 34% response rate. Figure 12 indicates the percentage of overall satisfaction with the program by participant responses. Almost 90% of the responding participants were either very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the program. Nearly 5% of the respondents indicated dissatisfaction with the program, for a variety of reasons related to details of progrm operation and other considerations.

Overall Satisfaction 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80% Very satisfied 52% Somewhat satisfied Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied Somewhat dissatisfied Very dissatisfied The 129 respondents reported approximately 84,257 acres of crops under irrgation. Acreages of grain, wheat, and barley accounted for an estimated 30,166 acres, or 36%. Conversely, there were slightly more farmers indicating hay and alfalfa as a crop in the program, though the total acreage was 23,261 estimated acres, or 28% of the irrgated acreage in the program. This data is usable by Idaho Power in marketing the program to customers who are unsure of whether they can implement the program for the crops they grow. Figure 13 details tye of crops irrgated by pumps and approximate percent of acres reported. Figure 13. Approximate percent of acres irrigated by pumps by crop.

Of the responding participants, nearly 50% indicated that the electrician involved in the installation provided adequate information, while 20% indicated the electrcian provided some, but not enough, information. A reason for these perceptions was Irrigation Peak Rewards Program Report Page 23 Idaho Power Company possibly due to the work volume of the electricians installing a large amount of devices in a short time frame. Idaho Power plans on working closely with the ILC to improve customer communications durng installation in the future. Figure 14. Information provided by the electrician.

Approximately 94% of the respondents indicated they were either very likely or somewhat likely to participate in the Irrgation Peak Rewards program in the future. Idaho Power plans to increase electrcian and customer training in 2010 to address the results. Figure 15. Likelihood to participate in the Irrgation Peak Rewards program in the future.

Respondents' barrers by percentage are listed in Figure 16. When provided a list of potential reasons that might prevent them from participating in the program in the future, almost 37% indicated the program worked fine. Nearly 38% indicated the incentive was too small, 30% indicated too much risk for crops, almost 23% indicated too much trouble to coordinate, and 14% indicated it was inconvenient. Idaho Power continues to evaluate this program and the potential incentive levels by using the overall costs of the program and comparing them to the capacity costs and shifted energy costs as published in the Appendix D-Technical Appendix for the 2006 IRP. The incentive level is a major factor when irrgators consider program participation and is balanced with offering a cost-effective program, thus the current incentive levels are near the maximum allowable amount while maintaining a cost-effective program.
