published (this protects the franchisee from TRB changes that are outside of its control). The measures' estimated useful lives (EUL) used in the TRB calculation are also based on ex-ante values, which are regularly updated. Figure 3: Verm...

AI summary The document discusses the Total Resource Benefits (TRB) calculation, emphasizing that the estimated useful lives (EUL) used are based on ex-ante values and are regularly updated. It also highlights that energy and peak savings make up the majority of performance targets, with a weighted contribution of 59%, while TRB accounts for 30%.

AI summary Table 8 presents data on participants' motivations for joining energy efficiency programs in 2012 and 2014. The primary motivation was saving on energy costs, with a significant decline in the percentage of participants citing this reason over time. Other motivations included taking advantage of program incentives, updating equipment, and environmental concerns.

5.1.2 Commercial Lighting Measures A total of 25 on-site visits were conducted for the lighting measures category; however, as mentioned above, three projects were eliminated from the data analysis because they were incomplete at the time...

AI summary The document discusses the evaluation of commercial lighting measures, including on-site visits, adjustments to tracked savings, and the impact of ballast factors on energy savings calculations. Over 80% of projects involved LED measures, and the evaluation highlights the importance of considering ballast factors in calculating energy savings.

AI summary Table 1 compares tracked and evaluated energy and peak demand savings from ENSC and the Econoler team. Evaluated savings are 6.5% and 3.9% lower than tracked savings, mainly due to adjustments in one LEED project. ENSC included a diversity factor in peak demand calculations this year, reducing the need for large adjustments.

8.0 NS POWER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS As noted above, the evidence before the Board is that no additional DSM is required by NS Power during the 2016-18 Contract Period for compliance with Nova Scotia's Renewable Electricity Standards or to mee...

AI summary NS Power states that no additional DSM is required during the 2016-18 Contract Period but proposes a DSM plan with 100 GWh annual savings. E1 challenges this, but the evidence supports Scenario D, which aligns with NS Power's proposal. A discussion between MR. CLARKE and MR. AGUINAGA clarifies that Scenario D is not included in the chart.
