May 2014 - The Incremental Cost Study Phase Three Final Report describes the methods and presents Base Cost Factors for each measure studied.  The associated workbooks include raw data, data analysis, and final costs by subregion, as well as measure characterizations and summary tables.  The measures include: Commercial air source heat pump, commercial LED refrigeration case lighting, commercial unitary air conditioning, commercial steam traps at low-medium pressure, and residential heat pump water heaters.

This is the second phase of the EM&V Forum Incremental Cost Study. It includes cost curves for the following efficiency measures: residential combined heat and hot water systems; ventilation fans; residential cellulose attic insulation; economizers; ductless minisplit heat pumps; prescriptive chillers; and variable frequency drives as well as findings from an examination of non-energy features of residential air conditioners.

The overall goal of this study was to determine baseline and efficient measure costs for a series of energy efficiency measures of interest to the Subcommittee and the incremental costs of moving from baseline to efficient measures. Phase 1 of the Incremental Cost Study (ICS) determined the cost of material/equipment for baseline and efficient measures, the cost of baseline labor and, where appropriate, incremental costs of labor.

These Regional Evaluation, Measurement and Verification (EM&V)  Methods & Assumptions Guidelines (‘the Guidelines’) were prepared for the Regional EM&V  Forum (‘the Forum’). The intent of these guidelines is to provide clarity, transparency, and a common understanding of methods to consider in determining gross energy and demand savings, and savings assumptions for a priority set of energy efficiency program/project types or measures.

At a time when states in the Forum region are making unprecedented investments in energy efficiency to meet a range of policy objectives, the need for consistency and transparency for energy efficiency is more important than ever in order to build understanding and credibility of efficiency as a resource.  The intent of these Guidelines, which include recommended state-level reporting templates and several process recommendations, is to provide for consistent definitions and the reporting of electric and natural gas energy-efficiency program energy and demand savings and associated co
