Recommendation memos

12/2/2010 This measure category should be re-classified as under review. Once the recommended updates to the UES values have been implemented, it can be returned to the classification deemed. However, technology and standards are rapidly changing for CFLs, so this measure category should be reviewed and updated every 2 years. These recommended updates involve significant changes to the estimation method and input parameters, but no additional primary research is required on input parameters as all recommended changes are from readily available sources.
