Summary of Updates Reviewed current workbook to see which parameters in analysis could change between the two market segments. Determined that two parameters could be affected: – Washer cycles per day – Lifetime (EUL) Looked at current DOE Technical Support Document (TSD) for commercial clothes washers 1, and found that the TSD provides estimates of cycles/day and EUL for both laundromats and coin-operated multi-family machines separately (see next slide). 4 1 U.S. DOE's Commercial Clothes Washers Final Rule Technical Support Document: Chapter 8.

Remaining Issues for RTF Discussion No factors identified. 6

Summary of Changes All savings, costs, and cost-effectiveness remain unchanged for laundry measures. Costs are assumed to be constant between laundry and multi-family common area units. Annual savings for multi-family are less than laundromats, given the relative reduction in cycles per day (3.4 versus 6, respectively) Go to the Presentation tab in the proposed measure workbook for graphs of savings, cost, and TRC B/Cs.proposed measure workbook 7
