Prescriptive Residential and Nonresidential Programs

Technical Reference Manual - TRM Purpose Statewide process to determine attributes of prescriptive measures and how savings for prescriptive measures will be calculated Provides transparency into savings calculations to all parties All utilities will be guided by this reference Allows all stakeholders to complete cross program comparisons between utilities when reviewing energy efficiency plan filings and compliance reports Transparency savings – this is important for future environmental compliance initiatives, such as: CCP and Iowa State Energy Plan All utilities = Three IOU’s, Munis and Co-ops that chose to implement the TRM Be positive about TRM – THIS IS A MUST

How does the TRM impact trade allies? Applications – Global and measure details Additional details about home or businesses buildings and equipment will need to be captured Annual review process/program changes Normal annual review of measures, however formal stakeholder process requires consensus of the changes by all stakeholders and IUB approval and may impact the incentives provided

DLC QPL Search Tool Here is where you can define your search by using Search by Keyword (model number or product code if available) or Manufacturer fields. Model number/product code is a more specific search, while the manufacturer name will cast a wider search net. Don’t forget the option to select de-listed products here.

Shorten / Lengthen model number XX are wildcard fields Helpful Hints Ways to refine search Spaces, Dashes, Slashes Shorten / Lengthen model number XX are wildcard fields Use manufactures specification sheet to assist in refinement I like to start with first 5 or 6 character of a model number, all squished together. Then try different refinement strategies. No rhyme or reason, try anything you think looks like it could be a model number. Need to Update Search by clicking the orange box or in the blue search box, click on the search icon. You can also select to include de-listed products from this screen too.

Search By Model Number Example of search results. Point out location of Lumens, Wattage, and DLC Product Code.

Search By Model Number

Search By DLC Product Code Example of search results. Point out location of Lumens, Wattage, and DLC Product Code.

DLC QPL Search Tool Exceptions Relabeled/Repackaged Product (need a “bridge” document to tie the two model numbers together) Ex: Letter from manufacturer Manufacturer product number is not the same as manufacturer model number Ex: Philips Manufacturer catalog number equals manufacturer model number Ex: Lithonia Best bridge document would be a letter from manufacturer, example to follow. Phillips specification sheet lists Product No. then Model No.; please use Model No when filling out the application. DLC uses the model number. Lithonia catalog number example follows.

Ex: Bridge document

Ex: PHILIPS InstantFit LED T8 Lamps Here is an example of the Philips specification sheet.

Ex: LITHONIA GTL LED Troffers Example of Catalog number equaling the manufacturer model number.

Ex: LITHONIA GTL LED Troffers Example of Catalog number equaling the manufacturer model number.

DLC logo on spec sheet does not always equate to DLC QPL listing DLC Documents DLC logo on spec sheet does not always equate to DLC QPL listing Supporting documentation: DLC screen image DLC Product number Specification sheet “Bridge” Ensure that you discuss that there will be changes to the DLC QPL so you will want to look at the DLC site to ensure that your equipment is still listed. Talk about which screen image and what information needs to be on the screen image; see image example above. Can write DLC Product number on application, or include on invoice detail.
