AI summary
- In response to SBA IR-01, Econoler confirmed that the Demand Side Management evaluation uses the Uniform Methods Project (UMP) protocols as a primary—but not sole—source, consistent with professional best practices including IPMVP certification for technical staff and senior-level quality assurance review of all results.
- Econoler's internal controls include detailed evaluation plans, staff participation in industry conferences such as IEPEC, targeted training on UMP protocols, and multi-level technical review of subcontractor deliverables (Exhibit E-18, pp. 1–2).
- In response to SBA IR-02, Econoler confirmed that Efficiencyone held savings targets for the BNI Efficient Product Rebates Program in both 2020 and 2021, and that Econoler itself does not develop those targets (Exhibit E-18, p. 3).
- The year-over-year decline in BER program net savings—33.491 GWh and 5.410 MW in 2021 versus 33.687 GWh and 5.711 MW in 2020—was characterized as small (approximately 1% in energy savings and 6% in peak demand savings), with detailed causal factors referenced in the respective annual evaluation reports.
