analysis they can account for, and the benefits of measures with longer lifespans (e.g. new construction, envelope retrofits, ground source heat pumps) may literally be cut short as a result. WWW.DUNSKY.CA 12 Date Filed: March 29, 2019 NS...

AI summary The text discusses concerns about the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test's potential bias in neglecting non-energy benefits (NEBs) from demand-side management (DSM) measures. It highlights that while TRC accounts for costs, it may not fully capture benefits to participants, utilities, and society, especially from long-term measures like ground source heat pumps.

AI summary The text discusses the Total Resource Cost (TRC) methodology and its potential bias against energy efficiency investments by not fully accounting for non-energy benefits (NEBs). It highlights that while TRC considers all participant costs, it only accounts for a portion of benefits, leading to regulatory decisions that may undervalue efficiency measures. This bias is becoming more significant as DSM goals increase and baselines improve.
