1. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N Smart Power Strips in Commercial Office Applications RTF August 30, 2011

2. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 2 Goal Today  To update UES estimates and move provisionally deemed smart strip measures to active status for commercial office applications Using updated savings from BPA engineering research

3. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 3 Background  RTF Provisionally deemed smart power strips in a commercial office in March 2010 100 kWh $20/unit 4 year Measure Life  RTF approved Research Plan 50 unit sample 2 week pre/post metering Collect information on equipment plugged in and settings

4. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 4 Smart Power Strips  Resemble traditional power strips, but have outlets with different functionalities.  Control outlet and controlled outlets Some also have outlets that will always remain on  Load Sensor  Occupancy Sensor

5. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 5 Smart Power Strips  Load Sensor When a control device is turned off or enters sleep mode, the Smart Power Strip cuts power to the controlled peripherals: items such as printers, heaters, speakers.  Occupancy Sensor The occupancy sensor cuts power to the controlled peripherals: items such as printers, heaters, speakers.

6. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 6 Types of Smart Power Strips Occupancy Sensor Load Sensor Timer Plug Strip (not included in savings proposal)

7. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 7 BPA Metering Study  Details about the research activities A total of 48 smart strips installed Installed at Ross Complex, Vancouver, WA Approximately 3 weeks baseline and post metering time during April/May 2011 Kill-A-Watt Meters used for data collection ‘Current Sensing’ Smart Power Strip was installed − Load sensor device

8. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 8 Example of Results

9. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 9 Results Summary  Savings details Sample size = 45 cubicles/offices Average Savings per year per cubicle = 132 KWh − Includes removal of 4 units during research period Median value = 80 KWh 80% Confidence Interval = 36.34

10. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 10 Results – Frequency Distribution Printer 1057 kwh savings

11. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 11 Results – # of Devices Plugged In * Number of devices plugged in is in addition to computer and monitor

12. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 12 Measure Cost and Measure Life  Cost $24.99 per unit, Non-Volume, Retail Labor cost - $3.50 (10 Minutes per unit at $20/hour for installation)  Measure Life 4 years

16. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 16 Measure Checklist

17. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 17 Measure Requirements  Must be installed in commercial offices occupied a minimum of 50 hour per week  Must be at least 1 device plugged into strip, in addition to desktop/laptop/monitor Okay to use with Network PC management as long as more than desktop/monitor plugged in

18. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 18 Continued Research  Follow up with metered units periodically to check if still installed  BPA to conduct metering on additional 24 work spaces with same metering process Study using occupancy sensor devices

19. B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 19 Motion for Approval  Motion to approve UES estimate to active status for smart power strips (load and occupancy sensing) in commercial office applications, with a sunset date of September 2013 (2 years)
