Planning Issues • Defining evaluation goals and scale, and which benefits to evaluate • Setting time frame for evaluation and reporting expectations • Establishing budget vis-à-vis expectations for quality of reported results • Defining baseline, baseline adjustments, and data collection requirements • Selecting impact evaluation approaches for gross and net savings calculations and avoided emissions calculations • Selecting who (or which type of organization) will conduct the evaluations • Identifying and integrating stakeholders Successful evaluations harmonize the costs of evaluation with the value of the information received—that is, they appropriately balance risk management, uncertainty, and cost considerations.

Technical Reference Manuals and Evaluation Protocols – EM&V Resources Technical Reference Manuals Evaluation Protocols • In the simplest form ‘TRMs’ are databases of deemed savings values with applicability conditions • Examples of database contents are: • kWh, kW, therm savings values • Measure effective lifetimes • Net to gross ratios • Measure cost information • Local/regional utility cost information for TRC calculations • Work papers that document basis for values • Documents with varying level of detail that define how the evaluations (and M&V) are to be conducted with a particular jurisdiction. Contents might include: • Which approaches to use • Sample size requirements • Evaluation timing • Reporting requirements Kentucky PSC 9/11/09 Schiller Consulting, Inc.
