ENERGY 2012 CEC Database update shows a very high level of product availability for Energy Star refrigerators and freezers Commercial Refrigerators & Freezers Commercial refrigerators and freezers have become more efficient since the last workbook review due to changes in federal minimum efficiency standards in January 2010. The previous 2009 CEE and 2008 NRCAN datasets show approximately 25% Energy Star Penetration for commercial self-contained refrigeration units. The updated datasets (2012 CEC dataset with 2008 NRCAN Units Meeting 2010 Federal Standards) show approximately 65% Energy Star Penetration for commercial self-contained refrigerators and 63% of the commercial self-contained freezers. According to the measure compliance recommendations memo and the 2010 Energy Star Market Penetration Report, Energy Star penetration for commercial refrigerators is approx. 72 % 1. 1 Energy Star Unit Shipment and Market Penetration Report Calendar Year 2010 Summary. The response rate of Energy Star partners that submitted 2008 unit shipment data was 100% for commercial refrigerators and freezers.

ENERGY Summary of Actions Taken Since Last RTF Meeting Residential Manufactured Home Duct Sealing Obtained manufactured home duct sealing program data from two sources: ETO program data, 2010-2012, N = 7,594 BPA PTCS program data, 2011-2012, N = 1,043 The datasets provide pre-/post-duct leakage (CFM), pre-/post-test pressure (Pa), and home square footage. Combined/cleaned the two datasets and analyzed pre-/post-supply leakage fractions (SLFs). Updated estimate of average SLFs based on program data. Previous estimates: 15% baseline case, 5% efficient case Updated/proposed estimates: 20% baseline case, 6% efficient case Note: Average values are shown here for comparison purposes only. Re-ran SEEM and ProCost using updated SLF estimates. Note: Instead of running the average or median pre/post leakage levels in SEEM, SEEM runs were generated for a suite of pre/post leakage levels and the results were weighted to number of instances for those leakage levels in the dataset.

21 ©2011 Navigant Consulting, Inc. Confidential and proprietary. Do not distribute or copy. ENERGY Data Cleaning and Analysis Residential Manufactured Home Duct Sealing Converted all pre- and post-leakage data to CFM50 (i.e. flow at 50 Pa). Filtered out data points beyond an assumed practical limit, or “maximum pre-leakage threshold.” Some pre-leakage flows indicated supply leakage fractions of well over 100%, including “catastrophic” leakage sites (3000+ CFM pre-leakage). In such high leakage cases, it was assumed that pre-leakage flow was capped at 100% supply duct leakage. Appears unlikely that homeowners would operate HVAC system beyond 30% SLF, so this was set as the maximum pre-leakage threshold. 30 % based on a recent conversation with Bruce Manclark Filtered out data points not in compliance with PTCS guidelines (e.g. sites with less than 50% leakage savings). These filters reduced dataset from 8,637 sites to 4,914 sites.
23
22 ©2011 Navigant Consulting, Inc. Confidential and proprietary. Do not distribute or copy. ENERGY Data Cleaning and Analysis (continued) Residential Manufactured Home Duct Sealing Assumed operating duct static pressure of 25 Pa, and pre/post measurements were converted to this pressure to align with realistic furnace airflow. 1 Varied total air handler flow based on average CFM/sq. ft. derived from Davis 2004 and Baylon, et al. 2009 (CFM/sq ft = 0.65). 2 For example, a 1,200 sq. ft. manufactured home would have an assumed total air handler flow of 0.65 * 1,200 = 780 CFM @ 25Pa. Then, if pre-supply leakage flow is 200 CFM25, pre-SLF would be: 200 CFM25 / 780 CFM25 = 25.6% Conversations with Bruce Manclark/Tom Eckman and a review of manufacturer cut sheets provided a similar range for typical manufactured home air handler flow. Need RTF Decision: To account for possible instances where (a). duct leakage reductions may have been raised to meet the minimum PTCS threshold, and (b) sites have catastrophic leakage, it is assumed that 12% of the population has zero savings. This factor is estimated using the average percentage of “dry holes” found in past duct sealing program studies as a proxy – 9% of EWEB’s program sites in 1997 and 15% of EWEB’s sites in 1999. 3 1 Davis, Bob, David Baylon, and Tom Hewes (2004).

ENERGY How ETO/BPA SEEM Savings Compare to Other Studies Residential Manufactured Home Duct Sealing West, Anne Minor et. al. (1998). Savings from an Expedited Duct Sealing Program for Mobile Homes. ACEEE Proceedings. Billing analysis of about 200 program participants. Found average participant savings of 1,249 kWh/yr. Sample group was approximately 32% heat pump, 68% resistance furnace. This heat pump-to-furnace weighting applied to current ETO/BPA SEEM dataset results in 1,317 kWh/yr savings for heating zone 1. Siegel, Jeffrey et. al. (1998). Measured Heating System Efficiency Retrofits in Eight Manufactured (HUD-Code) Homes. ACEEE Proceedings. Studied eight manufactured homes in the Pacific Northwest – average square footage of about 1,200. All homes had forced air furnaces. Found median duct sealing savings of 1,759 and 1,150 kWh for Redmond and Portland, respectively (savings averages were skewed by a large outlier). The furnace, zone 1 scenario in the current ETO/BPA SEEM dataset suggests 1,526 kWh/yr. Energy Trust of Oregon (2004). Manufactured Home Duct Sealing Pilot Program Draft Impact Evaluation. Billing analysis of 280 participants – average square footage of 1,235. Population was comprised of 40% heat pumps, 60% furnaces. Study found average savings of 543 kWh/yr. A similar heat pump to furnace weighting of the ETO/BPA SEEM dataset would result in1,265 kWh/yr for zone 1. Study noted that “…savings are less than those observed in other programs…”

ENERGY Refrigerator and Freezer Decommissioning Savings Calculations* (Percentage values are for Refrigerators) Savings are associated with recycled units that would have been left on-grid in the absence of the program. 59% of refrigerators, 69% of freezers. Kept and used units represent 10 % Refrigerators /14% Freezers of total units, donated/sold units represents 49 % Refrigerators and 55% Freezers of total units. R1 is the replacement factor for units that were kept and used. This replacement rate is represented by program participant’s replacement rate (Refrigerators: 64% Freezers: 39%). R2 is the replacement factor for intended recipient of the old unit. When the recycled unit is made unavailable to the intended recipients, 82% of the intended recipients acquired another refrigerator. Savings are adjusted with part-use factor and in-situ factor. *Logic model demo from Excel workbook.

Mortality of each vintage is calculated by: The estimated mortality derived from the RBSA survey follows a general Weibull distribution. The regional EUL is estimated to be between 13-17 years when mortality is consistently above 50%. The DOE EUL is developed using RECS Surveys 1990, 1993, 1997, 2001, and 2005.
