Potential measures highlighted include: - Advance heat recovery ventilator controls consuming 67% less energy. - Bathroom fans -efficient models saving up to 35.4 kWh per year. - Block heater timers with unitary savings of 122 kWh/year. -...

AI summary Potential energy efficiency measures include advanced heat recovery ventilators (67% energy reduction), efficient bathroom fans (35.4 kWh/year savings), block heater timers (122 kWh/year savings), and heat reflector panels (143 m3 natural gas/year savings). These measures aim to reduce energy consumption through technological upgrades.

AI summary The text critiques reliance on statistical significance in energy savings analysis, arguing that practical significance (effect size) should be prioritized. It highlights dependencies in data due to weather patterns, undermining the independence of observations and the validity of statistical tests with large samples, especially when individual household savings are minimal.

Observations: - There are some years where the on-peak winter avoided cost of energy is lower than the offpeak winter avoided costs (2031, 2032, 2034, 2035, 2036, 2037, 2041, 2042, 2047). The difference is as much as $43/MWh (2036). - Ther...

AI summary The text highlights years where on-peak winter avoided energy costs are lower than off-peak winter costs and non-winter periods, with a maximum difference of $43/MWh in 2036. Such discrepancies occur in multiple years, including 2029, 2031, and others, indicating irregularities in cost patterns across seasons and times.

AI summary E1 clarifies that 'energy efficiency savings targets' include both energy and demand savings, achieved through measures like appliance upgrades and insulation. It distinguishes demand savings from energy efficiency (reducing peak demand) from available capacity for demand response (capacity during peak periods). The response references Nova Scotia's utility peak period (Dec-Feb).

nt, the treatment group would have been larger, but no savings would have probably been detected. The Peach Report states as follows in relation to sampling and independence of cases:[12](#page-24-1) […] standard significance tests assume...

AI summary The Peach Report highlights concerns about statistical dependencies in energy use data, noting that weather patterns and climate trends may influence utility data, leading to non-independent observations. This challenges the reliability of standard significance tests. A reference is made to NREL's residential behavior evaluation protocol and a specific exhibit from matter M12249.

AI summary The text discusses the extension of a program component (E1) focusing on direct load control (DLC) thermostats, baseboard heaters, and water controllers, along with incentives for participation in demand response (DR) events. It also mentions the inclusion of electric vehicle (EV) managed charging and marketing strategies such as television advertising and targeted outreach.
