Existing Measure Reviews

• 14 measure updates remaining for 2014– Workplan budgeted for 24; so far 10 are done• 3 more might be done today!• After this year, all UES measures will have gone through

Guidelines compliance*

• Current budget allocation seems sufficient– Standard Protocols continue to move slowly• Budgeted for 5 Protocols per year; so far 0 done

– SIS effort has been large, but has not yet resulted in a protocol– CVR & VO slow to start due to SEEM calibration work

*Except MF weatherization due to sunset in 8/2015

New Measure Reviews

• Upcoming measures requiring RTF Staff support– DHP for Forced Air Furnaces for Single Family and

Manufactured Homes– Duct Insulation for SF & MH– Prescriptive Duct Sealing– RTU Provisional Protocol for Heat Pumps

• Current allocation seems sufficient at this time– Assumed proposers did most development work– If no new measures submitted by fall, should

reallocate budget dollars elsewhere

Small/Rural Work

• Light on work this year after large effort in 2013– Scoping a small task order for MH Decommissioning– Other small efforts likely to arise

• Allocation seems sufficient, but excess funds may be available from this category

• As a reminder, SRR used general RTF funds last year to accomplish some work

Items Shifting to Staff Work

• ProCost Engine Updates & QC– Contract staff has in-depth VBA knowledge– Doing QC of ProCost model including new elements

added in past few years– Some components may still require external contract

depending on timeframe & workload• SEEM updates– Staff has already made several updates (template)

however some items may still require external contract• Annual Report done mostly in-house

Items Added, Changed or Removed

• Likely to add small task order for QC of Grocersmart results

• Increase QC budget to AEG (formerly EnerNOC) to handle remaining UES updates

• Small contract to Abt for follow-up work on Wood Smoke analysis
