AI summary The evaluation of 2010 DSM programs used a net-to-gross ratio with a difference-of-differences approach, acknowledging spillover effects. Free ridership was not calculated for the LIH program due to its free access for low-income participants. Process evaluations included interviews, surveys, and site visits to assess program implementation.

AI summary The CFL component of the PD program is reaching the limits of its energy-saving value due to the phase-out of incandescent bulbs starting in 2012. The program diversified in 2010 in anticipation of this change. Free-ridership and net-to-gross ratios were estimated based on surveys and interviews, with programmable thermostats and dimmer switches excluded due to low projected energy savings.

AI summary The document discusses the effectiveness of various energy efficiency measures in the Power Down program, noting that while CFLs accounted for most energy savings, other products like refrigerators and thermostats had lower net-to-gross ratios and were purchased infrequently, often by free-riders. NMR concludes that these other products are unlikely to contribute significantly to energy savings.
Report. Submitted June 16, 2003 NMR Evaluation of 2010 Efficient Lighting Products Direct Install Program Page 21 In 2009, NMR used a similar approach as in 2008. However, for the 2009 free-ridership calculations, the NMR team adopted th...
AI summary The report evaluates the 2010 Efficient Lighting Products Direct Install Program, detailing changes in free-ridership calculation methods from 2008 to 2010. In 2009, NMR used an arithmetic mean and a more conservative scoring method, and in 2010, the methodology was revised based on the DSM Administrator's symposium and aligned with the Energy Trust of Oregon's approach. The net-to-gross ratio for the 2010 program was 77% for CFLs and 83% for LED Exit Lights.
net-to-gross ratio was calculated based on spillover and free-ridership. For the 2010 program year, the net-to-gross ratio for the program was 77% for CFLs and 83% for LED Exit Lights. (Table 3-12) Table 3-12: 2010 Net-to-Gross Ratio 2010...
AI summary The 2010 Efficient Lighting Products Direct Install Program had a net-to-gross ratio of 77% for CFLs and 83% for LED Exit Lights, calculated using spillover and free-ridership rates. The spillover rates were 1% for CFLs and 4% for LED Exit Lights, while free-ridership rates were 22% and 13%, respectively.

AI summary The impact evaluation of the BER and SLC programs found that combined net generator-level impacts were 6,748.3 MWh of energy savings and 1,267.3 kW of demand savings, falling short of the combined program targets of 10,000 MWh and 2,420.0 kW. The evaluation used site visits, program records, and telephone surveys to estimate free-ridership and spillover effects.

AI summary The document evaluates the 2010 BER program, calculating the net-to-gross ratio at 54% for both energy and demand savings. It also estimates net annual energy savings at 503.3 MWh and demand savings at 0.72 MW, based on participant surveys and on-site observations.
for their recently-installed HP T8 lighting systems. Based on these responses, we estimated a free-ridership value of 16%. In 2009, NMR estimated that the SLC program had resulted in no spillover. NMR Evaluation of 2010 Prescriptive Rebate...
AI summary The document discusses the evaluation of the 2010 SLC program, estimating a free-ridership value of 16% and net energy and demand savings. It also outlines the process evaluation methodology for the 2010 BER program, including interviews and surveys conducted.

AI summary The document discusses the evaluation of the 2010 C&I Custom Program, focusing on free-ridership calculations and the net-to-gross ratio. It outlines changes in methodology, including the use of an arithmetic mean and a more conservative scoring method, as well as a revision of free-ridership questions based on a symposium and the Energy Trust of Oregon's approach.

AI summary The document discusses the evaluation of the 2010 Small Business Lighting Solutions Program, focusing on free-ridership rates and the net-to-gross ratio. It highlights that the net-to-gross ratio for the program was 86.6% for energy savings and 87.0% for demand savings, but the actual savings fell short of the goals set for the program year.

AI summary The Business Energy Rebates (BER) program in 2010 achieved 932.0 MWh of gross energy savings and 134.8 kW peak demand reduction, but after accounting for a 46% free-ridership rate, net savings were 503.3 MWh and 72.8 kW. The program is recommended for continuation and expansion due to its success and potential, though measures to reduce free-ridership are advised.
int of 1,047 kWh in contrast to the estimate used by the program of 1,032.88 kWh. This sample of 71 houses is then shown by NMR to reasonably represent the set of houses served by the program in 2010. Using information from a recent Ontari...
AI summary The 2010 EnerGuide for Existing Houses (EEH) program achieved significant energy savings, exceeding its goals by nearly double. NMR's analysis showed program and evaluated savings were close, within two percent. Free-ridership was estimated at 24%, and the program's results were described as excellent performance.
