SUMMARY:Rethinking Energy Savings: Exploring the Shift from Estimated to Data-Driven Approaches with Smart Meter Insights
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Lark Lee\, Tetra Tech \nSpeakers: \nAdam Grant\, NV Energy\nChris Pollow\, Idaho Power\nCarmen Best\, Recurve\nGarry Jones\, Oncor \nAs energy efficiency becomes integral to the grid reliability conversation and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rolls out across the country\, policy makers\, regulators and administrators are assessing how to build trust in energy savings and demand reductions. Questions include: How reliable are current deemed savings? Can programs move from a deemed savings approach to a measured model? Are certain program types better suited to AMI measured or deemed savings? Moderated by a subject matter expert to foster lively discussion\, panelists with direct experience discuss their perspectives on the evolution of the use of AMI meter data and deemed savings. \nLearning Objectives: \n-Explain the differences between deemed savings and measured savings approaches in the context of AMI deployment and energy efficiency programs. \n-Evaluate the suitability of various energy efficiency program types for either deemed or measured savings models using real-world examples discussed by panelists. \n-Develop a policy recommendation framework that integrates AMI data to enhance trust and reliability in energy savings for utility programs.

SUMMARY:Evaluation for Implementers
DESCRIPTION:Program implementers take all types of measurements during a program cycle\, but which ones actually matter? And which measurements are critical to determining program success? This course will explain how evaluators assess program results and make adjustments that affect bottom-line savings and your company’s profits. This course will provide real-world examples of “best practices” to ensure that your program will generate measurable and defensible savings that will stand up to the scrutiny of the fussiest evaluator. \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify and summarize basic EM&V concepts.\nExplain evaluation priorities and timing.\nCompute Net-to-Gross for different program scenarios.\n *Attendees must earn an 70% or higher on the final course test in order to earn 0.4 CEUs
