Approve Measure Updates

Decision Details

Approve the updated savings and costs for the ENERGY STAR and Ecorated New Manufactured Home UES measures and approve the measure specification, savings, cost, life, and research strategy for the NEEM 2.0 New Manufactured Home UES measures, and keep the Category as Planning. Keep the Status as Active. Set the sunset date to February 2020. Keep the weighted electric heating system measure. Use a weighting of  25% heat pump, Remove the un-weighted heat pump and eFAF-specific measures. Update ventilation assumptions per Brady Peeks in-plant research. Check and update ASHP HSPF assumption (8.2 vs 7.7).

Decided 
December 08, 2015
RTF Meeting: December 8, 2015

Approve measure update

Decision Details

Set the measure Status and Category for the NEEM certified ENERGY STAR and EcoRated MH measures to "Active", "Planning" and adopt the savings estimate developed using:• Current baseline for MH new construction• Non-Electric heat adjustment (Phase II) factor of 2.5%• SEEM69 estimate with NEEM data, to determine adjustment for all electric home annual heating energy (Phase 1) use for electric resistance heated MH.• Adopt the Research Strategy as presented and set the Sunset Date to 12/2018.

Decided 
November 10, 2015
RTF Meeting: November 10, 2015

Sunset date extension

Decision Details

Extend the sunset date for both manufactured homes measures, ENERGYSTAR and EcoRated homes, to March 31, 2016.

Decided 
May 12, 2015
RTF Meeting: May 12, 2015

Sunset date extension

Decision Details

Extend the sunset dates for the following measures to November 30, 2015:NC - ENERGY STAR and EcoRated homes, MH; NC - High Performance Manufactured Homes; Weatherization, MH; Performance-based Duct Sealing, MH; Air Source Heat Pump Upgrades, MH; Air Source Heat Pump Conversion, MH.Staff should complete the MH calibration comparison and reporting back to the RTF as quickly as possible.

Decided 
March 17, 2015
RTF Meeting: March 17, 2015

Sunset date extension and measure direction

Decision Details

Extend the sunset date for UES measure MH New Construction ENERGY STAR and Ecorated Homes to June, 2015 and change the measure status to 'Under Review.

This measure will be updated once the MH calibration is complete.

Decided 
October 14, 2014
RTF Meeting: October 14, 2014

Sunset date extension and measure direction

Decision Details

Direct staff to investigate New Construction - Energy Star and EcoRated Homes MH UES measure cost and energy savings further, and extend the sunset date to March 2015.

Decided 
July 15, 2014
RTF Meeting: July 15, 2014

Direction for SEEM calibration

Decision Details

Approve the Phase I calibration for manufactured-home new construction measures described above, but not for homes with SEEM (69/64)/sq. ft. below 1.5 (HP) or 3.0 (ER). The Phase I calibration aligns SEEM (69/64) with VBDD for homes with clear heating energy signatures and no non-metered fuels. Staff will examine alternative data sources (especially NEEM, 2009) to determine if the calibration should be adjusted for new-construction homes.

Decided 
July 15, 2014
RTF Meeting: July 15, 2014

Sunset date extension
