Residential: Heating/Cooling - PTCS Commissioning, Controls, & Sizing 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.


StatusOut-of-compliance
The RTF may determine that measures approved prior to the adoption of these guidelines do not comply with one or more requirements of these guidelines. The UES estimates for these measures will continue to be “RTF-Approved” if a plan for bringing the measure into compliance is approved by the RTF within one year following the RTF determination that the measure is out-of-compliance. If no plan is approved within one year, the measure will be de-activated. The RTF intends that all out-of-compliance measures will be reclassified, i.e., become a standard protocol or be placed in one of the UES measure development stages of small saver, planning, provisional, de-activated or active, as soon as possible, but no later than five years following the adoption of these guidelines.

10/24/2012

Adopt the SBW recommendations for the Residential Manufactured Housing Performance Tested Comfort Systems (PTCS) Commissioning, Controls and Sizing measure and change the status to Out of Compliance with a sunset date of November 1, 2013.

Measure category unchanged

Measure status changed: Current Status: Out-of-Compliance. Previous Status: n/a

Energy savings unchanged

Cost effectiveness unchanged

Specifications/Eligibility unchanged

Planned future work: RTF staff will work with stakeholders to develop a plan to bring the measure back into compliance with the Guidelines based on the recommendation memo and seek RTF approval of that plan by the sunset date. If a plan is not approved by the RTF by the sunset date, the measure will be deactivated.
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.
