1.1 Impact Evaluation Objectives and Scope The impact evaluation activities were aimed at determining: - › Gross electrical energy and peak demand savings at the meter and at the generator - › Available demand response (DR) capacity for de...
AI summary The impact evaluation objectives include assessing energy and peak demand savings, demand response capacity, net-to-gross ratios (NTGRs), effective useful life (EUL) of measures, and GHG emissions. Two evaluation types are outlined: comprehensive (reviewing baseline definitions, methodologies, parameters, and NTGRs) and condensed (reusing prior-year parameters). Evaluations occur every three years for most programs, with factors like program maturity and calculation complexity influencing the approach.
EUL Update For 2024, the Evaluator conducted a review of all EUL values as part of the 2024-2025 DSM MA update to determine if there were more appropriate EUL estimates.
AI summary The Evaluator reviewed EUL values in 2024 as part of the DSM MA update to assess more accurate estimates.
3.2.5 Effective Useful Life The Evaluator reviewed the EUL values of all sampled projects by selecting an appropriate EUL for each measure implemented. The revised measure level EUL values were selected based on the values outlined in the...
AI summary The Evaluator adjusted Effective Useful Life (EUL) values for sampled projects based on the 2024–2025 DSM MA. Four Retrofit projects required weighted average EUL adjustments due to multiple measures, compressed air leak audit EULs were reduced to two years, and solar PV EULs were extended to 30 years aligning with DSM MA data.
5.2.4 Effective Useful Life The NC tracking sheet records savings on a measure-by-measure basis for each project. The Evaluator reviewed the EUL values of all measures in the tracking sheet as part of the Tracking Sheet Audit and selected...
AI summary The NC tracking sheet records savings measure-by-measure, with the Evaluator reviewing and selecting correct EUL values based on the 2024–2025 DSM Measure Assessment during the Tracking Sheet Audit.
6.2.3 Effective Useful Life The Evaluator validated the EUL values based on the 2024–2025 DSM MA. There were no adjustments made to the EUL values of reviewed projects.
AI summary The Evaluator confirmed Effective Useful Life (EUL) values using the 2024–2025 DSM MA without adjustments. This validation ensures alignment with established standards for assessing long-term benefits of energy efficiency measures.
