1. 1 NORTHWEST ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE IFSA Monthly Update Meeting February 7, 2014 NEEA Market Research & Evaluation

2. 2 Overview / Agenda  IFSA Site Visit General Update  Additional Sampling  Notification Letter from NEEA  Potential Industry Confidentiality Risks – Report  Data Review and Normalization  Q&A

3. 3 IFSA Site Visit General Update  More assessments have been completed  Cadmus and NEEA are still attempting to reach some utility points of contact, though making progress  Cadmus is still awaiting approval to contact participants from four utilities representing 43 sites  Cadmus team is working to reach participants where utility organizations have consented  Analysis and reporting of results is on-going

4. 4 IFSA Site Visit General Update  53 assessments are complete  4 more are scheduled  Five more sites have committed to assessments

5. 5 Additional Sampling  We have nearly exhausted several NAICS/strata combinations from the initial draw  In the next week, Cadmus will select additional sites for the relevant NAICS/strata combinations to ensure we meet our targeted samples  NEEA will promptly notify the appropriate utilities of the new sample sites within their service territory

6. 6 NEEA Notification Letter  Provided ONLY to sites where consent provided  Includes sites which have not responded and some sites recently approved for contact  Distributed to working group roster for comment with fairly short turnaround  Plan is to mail next week and have Cadmus make follow up contacts several days later  Final letter to be included with follow up materials  Letter highlights value propositions to customer

7. 7 Confidentiality Risks by NAICS The following industries have risks to confidentiality due to small populations in particular usage categories : Risks primarily impact how data is presented in the “public” report Pulp and Paper Mills – Most at risk among large usage categories Primary Metal Manufacturers – High risk among large usage categories Saw Mills – Some risk due to “census” categories Miscellaneous Paper – Moderate risk in large usage categories Miscellaneous Food Production – High risk in 50-100K gWh category Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage – Risk in “census” categories

8. 8 Data Review & Normalization As defined in the Data Collection Working Group, our outputs will be based on end uses stipulated through DOE’s Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS)  Indirect Uses-Boiler Fuel  Conventional Boiler Use  CHP and/or Cogeneration Process  Direct Uses-Total Process  Process Heating  Process Cooling and Refrigeration  Machine Drive  Electro-Chemical Processes  Other Process Use  Direct Uses-Total Nonprocess  Facility HVAC  Facility Lighting  Other Facility Support  Onsite Transportation  Conventional Electricity Generation  Other Nonprocess Use

9. 9 Data Review & Normalization Machine Drive end use is further broken out into these subcategories for our study  Pumps  Fans  Compressed Air  Material Handling  Material Processing  Other Systems MECS attributes all consumption for supporting equipment to the primary end use  For example, consumption for hot water pumps serving a process boiler would be listed under “Indirect Uses – Conventional Boiler Use”

10. 10 Data Review & Normalization  Cadmus will normalize the end use consumption for each strata and NAICS code by the number of employees at the facilities (to protect facility anonymity)  We will develop a weighted average for each end use consumption in each strata  We will extrapolate consumption for the entire NAICS code using the relative weighting of each strata’s population in the overall sample frame

11. 11 Data Review & Normalization  Data Normalization Example for 327 NAICS  [live spreadsheet demonstration]
