AI summary In 2024, three billing analyses were conducted for Green Heat, Home Energy Assessment, and Residential Behaviour. The analyses aimed to measure energy savings from MSHP installations, establish adjustment ratios for HOT2000 estimates, and calculate net savings using a difference-in-difference approach. Participants who modified their homes during participation were excluded to ensure accurate savings calculations.
Billing Analysis After inconclusive results in 2023, a billing analysis was again conducted for Green Heat as part of the 2024 DSM evaluation to obtain measured electrical energy savings generated through the installation of MSHPs and wood...
AI summary A 2024 billing analysis for Green Heat, part of the DSM evaluation, updated savings values for MSHPs and wood/pellet stoves. This followed inconclusive 2023 results and updated prior 2017 data for MSHPs, with first-time analysis for stoves since 2013 modeling. Appendix XXIV details the methodology.
Billing Analysis The billing analysis consisted of calculating the change in electrical energy consumption by comparing levels before and after participation in Green Heat for a group of recent participants (treatment group). To account fo...
AI summary The billing analysis used a difference-in-differences approach to compare energy consumption changes in Green Heat participants (treatment group) against historical participants (control group), isolating program-specific savings while accounting for external factors like the pandemic. This method updated unitary savings for MSHPs and wood/pellet heating systems, excluding participants who expanded heated areas.

AI summary The document outlines appendices related to the 'Green Heat' initiative, including past participant surveys, tracking sheets, methodology, billing analysis, and 2024 recommendations, indicating a focus on program evaluation, data collection, and implementation strategies.
APPENDIX XXIV Green Heat Detailed Methodology and Billing Analysis
AI summary Appendix XXIV outlines the methodology and billing analysis for the Green Heat initiative, focusing on energy efficiency programs, appliance retirement, and heat pump adoption in Nova Scotia. It includes technical details on cost recovery, program evaluation, and regulatory considerations for residential and commercial energy efficiency measures.
Background After inconclusive results in 2023, a billing analysis was again conducted for Green Heat as part of the 2024 DSM evaluation to obtain measured electrical energy savings generated through the installation of mini-split heat pump...
AI summary A 2024 billing analysis for Green Heat evaluated energy savings from mini-split heat pumps (MSHPs) and wood/pellet stoves, updating prior results and using AMI data for improved accuracy. MSHPs are the primary measure, with stove installations analyzed for the first time via billing rather than modeling.
Question Design - › Use simple words and avoid technical terms and slang - › Use specific, clear wording rather than general, abstract terms - › Use words that can be interpreted in only one way to avoid ambiguity - › Use question wording...
AI summary The document outlines principles for designing effective survey questions in regulatory proceedings, emphasizing clarity, neutrality, and methodological rigor. It references academic studies and frameworks like the Uniform Methods Project for evaluating energy efficiency programs, billing analysis, and free ridership estimation.
