2 Filling the Pipeline in 2015 – Portfolio Ready TechnologyDescriptionSavings Potential StatusReady for Portfolio SGS – Secondary glazing system Interior window insert attachment for commercial buildings aMW (Market Potential) Developing test method with LBNL. Working with NFRC to include SGS in their new “attachments” standard. Working with Solarc and estimator to determine estimate of cost/savings (ROI). Early Products are available. Test method will be ready. Market characterization will be needed. High Performance Manufactured Homes Updated standard for manufactured homes with shell and HVAC upgrades aMW (Market Potential) Upside potential if early retirement included Coordinated field testing with BPA to prove savings and understand manufacturer barriers. Federal standard process underway Could be ready in 2015 to help meet pipeline metric. Combo system space and water Split system HP with single outside unit that supports residential space and hot water 394 aMW (Technical Potential) Assume aMW market potential Lab and field testing. Products are not yet available for sale in the NW. Expected availability Q Initiative start likely in May be incorporated into DHP program. Commercial New Construction Integrated design for commercial buildings 57 aMW (Technical Potential) Program planning will start in Initiative start likely in Q
3 Filling the Pipeline in 2015 – Scanning Themes TechnologySectorDescriptionStatusReady for Portfolio Automated M&VAllNegawatt meter for residential, commercial and industrial. Supports financial transactions. Inventory of available products complete. Exploring ways to validate tools and test capabilities insitu This technology is not likely to be ready for 2-4 years. CO2 Heat PumpsAllCO2 as a refrigerant for heat pumps. Useful for water heating and space conditioning. Products are currently available for industrial. Commercial and residential are coming. First product for res likely in mid Commercial later. Internet of ThingsAllWhat happens when everything is web connected? Load growth is a possibility. Also enables zonal controls for energy savings. Standards are emerging IVP6, ANSI/CEA-2045, others. Testing needed to understand impact and to find ways to reduce negative impact. Sometime in cycle 5 LightingAllEfficient lighting and controlsLots of changes happening in lighting. Controls, more efficient products, etc. Test procedures and product validation needed to understand energy impact Likely to be incorporated into RWLR, TTTA or LLLC programs. Advanced HVACComSeparation of conditioned air from ventilation air. Proven to yield savings. Waiting for product options to field test. Likely Ag IrrigationAgExplore irrigation technologies that offer energy savings for large and small farms. Completing finally report on current ag program. Learnings will be applied to new effort.
