RETAC 2.0 Task Force Update

Q2 Activities Task Force Decisions Refined proposal document Looping Complex Systems Program Readiness Refined proposal document Added details for tool requirement including standard versus custom fields Solicited and received proposal for: Developing business requirements Recommended solution with high level estimates of costs and lead time

Looping of Technology Innovation Looping (Marc Ledbetter’s comments): Technologies don’t progress in a linear fashion toward commercial readiness.

System Complexity – Level of Granularity LED Lighting vs. Bi-level stairwell controls Focus on level of innovation What changed that increases efficiency? Taxonomy Sector (Residential) Building Type (single family) User (Home owner) Function (water heating) Energy Savings Innovation (heat pump) Classification (product, service, best practice)

System Elements - Tool Tool – Database Standard Fields Custom Fields Technology / Product Description Regional Savings Potential Readiness Levels Research project list: Custom Fields Technology Strategy Program Strategy Forecast of Readiness Wish list of research questions and investment needs

System Elements - Processes How a product / technology is added to the database How changes to the product, readiness, research, etc are made and communicated How to track and highlight performance of the pipeline to regional goals. How research activities are tracked and communicated.

Plans & Schedule Q3: Completing business requirements Q3: Developing design concept along with high level estimate of costs Q4: Presenting to RETAC for approval of next steps Q4- develop initial database for testing 2017 – Develop and implement tools and processes
