As the final quarter of a challenging year wraps up, we are left to reflect on all of the work the RTF has accomplished as a group in spite of the barriers and complications 2020 has thrown at us. In March we transitioned fairly seamlessly to an all virtual format and we haven’t looked back. We’re especially grateful to the RTF members who continued to work hard, learned with us and continued to work hard and get through the work despite all the complications of the new format. The fourth quarter of 2020 was as productive as the three that preceded it, the RTF approved its first gas only measure, spent some time revisiting the many moving parts of the new homes standard protocol, made regularly scheduled updates to the RTF guidelines, and spent the last meeting of the year focused on residential washers and dryers. We can’t know what 2021 will bring, but here at the RTF we’ll be staying the course, developing and updating measures, and providing the region with consistent reliable energy savings estimates. Keep up with all RTF decisions and news as it happens on the RTF website which is updated throughout the quarter.
