The Phase I Early Replacement Measure Scoping Study has four primary objectives:
1. Compiling descriptive information about current energy efficiency retrofit programs with early replacement measures – with specific focus on eligibility criteria, measures savings baseline assumptions, and remaining useful life assumptions;
2. Identifying and summarizing common and contrasting program design elements, savings calculation approaches and technical assumptions;
3. Identifying challenges related to the promotion of early replacement measures, and soliciting Program Administrator (PA) desires for additional research to improve
program performance and the accuracy of savings estimates; and
4. Providing preliminary recommendations on the prioritization of measures and program participant populations upon which to focus the early replacements Phase II
research.
