Residential: Heating/Cooling - Air Source Heat Pump Upgrades MH

CategoryProven
Measures can obtain approval for Proven status if the section 3.2.3 UES quality criteria for Proven measures are satisfied. Sunset criteria will be assigned by the RTF along with a plan for data collection and analysis that allows the UES estimate to be reviewed and updated in a timely fashion.


StatusUnder Review
At any time prior to the sunset criteria being met, the RTF may decide to place a measure under review. This may be the result of a review of the UES savings estimation procedure or the availability of new sources of information for baseline or efficient-case consumption. The UES values will remain “RTF-Approved” while the measure is under review. As a result of the review, the UES values may be re-estimated and the measure sunset criteria revised.

10/24/2012

Adopt the SBW recommendations (as revised during today's meeting) for the Residential Manufactured Housing Air Source Heat Pump Upgrades measure and change the status to Under Review with a sunset date of May 1, 2013.

Measure category unchanged

Measure status changed: Current Status: Under Review. Previous Status: n/a

Energy savings unchanged

Cost effectiveness unchanged

Specifications/Eligibility unchanged

Planned future work: RTF staff will work to update the measure per the recommendation memo and seek RTF approval for "Active" status by the sunset date.
5/15/2012

Clarify eligibility requirements for (central system) heat pump UES measures so as to limit eligibility to single speed and two speed compressor systems.

Measure category unchanged

Measure status unchanged

Energy savings unchanged

Cost effectiveness unchanged

Specifications/Eligibility changed: Clarification

Planned future work: BPA is planning lab and field tests of the new generation of central heat pumps with variable speed compressors. Results are expected in 2013, at which time the RTF may review a proposal for a UES measure for those units. In-situ duct system efficiency is the primary unknown at this point.
2/14/2012

Revise the measure descriptions to include/allow “New Construction”; measure status to remain as "Under Review for compliance with Guidelines" (Develop new, separate measures for New Construction after SBW review and when updating all heat pump and Wx measures with SEEM94).

Measure category unchanged

Measure status unchanged

Energy savings unchanged

Cost effectiveness unchanged

Specifications/Eligibility changed: Yes. Vintage re-defined to allow measure in new construction applications.

Planned future work: An RTF contractor is currently reviewing these measures for compliance with the Guidelines. Also, these measures will be re-run with SEEM94.
