Presentation Overview Wattage Range Method (WRM) Objective: Seeking CalTF feedback on the wattage range method (WRM) change in calculating savings for non residential bay and exterior lighting Background on WRM History of WRM Issues with current WRM structure Why address issues now? Recommended proposed method Questions or Comments Appendix – Background analysis October 2016 2

Background on WRM Wattage Range Method (WRM) Applies to LED luminaire products (bay lighting, outdoor lighting, etc.) Range of LED Wattages mapped to single baseline or range of baseline wattages (depending on the LED luminaire type) Wattage Reductions for Measures Using Ranges If the savings are calculated based on typical wattage ratings within specific ranges then pre-existing wattage shall be the lowest wattage within the pre- existing range and the measure wattage shall be the highest wattage within the measure wattage range. Workpaper disposition for Lighting Retrofits, CPUC, ED, March 1, 2013 section 5b, page 3 & 4) Example: 40 – 131 W LED (Measure case) replacing 175W pulse-start metal halide (Base case) (System Wattage 208W) Current method: Using highest LED wattage: 208 W – 131W = 77W savings October 2016 3

Current WRM Approach: Impact Wattage Range Method (WRM) Disadvantages Using upper end of LED range underestimates savings for most fixtures Incentivizes customers to buy less efficient, higher wattage products Must be updated regularly to account for changing LED efficacy Advantages Simple to apply Uses easily collected lamp data (watts) More efficient products do not yield higher savings October 2016 4

Navigant Study – Wattage Range findings Wattage Range Method (WRM) October 2016 5 Wattage Range Savings Estimation Method findings Navigant Study suggests that the typical installed LED wattage for bay and exterior lighting applications falls nearer to the mean of the existing LED wattage ranges. The existing methodology of deriving delta watt savings using the upper bound of the LED wattage range is therefore underestimating savings and not reflecting typical installation. Additionally, It also dis ‐ incentivizes the promotion of more efficacious products. Navigant Study, Key Findings and Recommendations section (page 1-12)

Navigant Recommendations for Improvements to Wattage Range Method Wattage Range Method (WRM) Recommendation 2 Consider adding the narrower ranges suggested in Figure 4 ‐ 7 within the current lowest wattage range to improve accuracy in the delta watts savings calculation. Update guidance in next lighting disposition to specify using mean of LED wattage ranges for delta watts calculations instead of upper end. October 2016 6

Working Group Recommendation Considerations: Wattage Range Method (WRM) Navigant Recommendation Working Group AnalysisWorking Group Final Determination 1. Use mean of LED wattage range rather than upper end for savings calculations Simple and suitable solution to improving savings claims Accepted with additional modifications to account for efficacy updates. 2. Consider adding narrower ranges for lowest wattage range to improve accuracy in savings calculation. Current measure code wattage ranges are based on a work paper disposition defining the base case fixture wattages and lumen outputs. Under consideration with work paper updates to baseline and current DLC fixture data. October 2016 8

Working Group Review of Navigant report Recommendation 1: Mean WRM Wattage Range Method (WRM) Challenges Work paper updates for efficacy improvements in the market still required Benefits More accurate savings claims Similar assumptions and calculations as current methodology, few workpaper changes required Minimal customer & program disruption October 2016 9

Summary October 2016 Wattage Range Method (WRM) 17 Issues Current wattage range method does not capture accurate savings and therefore does not allow IOUs to incent customers appropriately. Kilolumen method has proven challenging for implementation. Implementation timeline significantly impacted due to required changes to all internal systems, reporting systems, Implementer communications/training – up to 1 year. Market place confusion with lumen terminology and reporting requirements. Mis-incentivizes higher lumen packages and overlit spaces. Manufacturer spec sheets not aligned with tested specs reported on QPL. Recommendations Navigant recommendation for using mean of wattage range allows accurate savings to be captured. Navigant recommendation for splitting wide wattage range measure code into multiple codes.

Summary October 2016 Wattage Range Method (WRM) 18 Timeline Required for Implementation of Changes to methodology For any changes made to Programs, 90 day notice to Stakeholders and Customers required. Changes to incentives, measure code structure, product qualification requirements, etc. DLC Technical Requirements V4.0 update effective April 1, 2017 Timing of updates conflict with rolling portfolio guidelines Work paper updates to reflect new efficacy requirements
