IOU Recently Completed Studies

1. Exterior Lighting Standard Practice Baseline and Work Paper Support Study (TRC) This statewide study focused on nonresidential exterior lighting Fixtures and Retrofit Kits. The purpose was to identify standard practice – defined as exterior lighting sales for new construction and retrofits (but excluding maintenance) in California, to support work paper updates. This study found that LEDs dominate standard practice for exterior fixtures. LEDs comprise 94% of current exterior fixture sales for new construction and retrofits and will grow to 98% by 2020 and 99% by 2023. CALMAC ID: SCE0426.01 2. ZNE Verification Methodologies Phase 2 (TRC) This statewide study developed methodologies for verifying predicted or measured energy performance

• f ZNE buildings in California. This report represents the Phase 2 deliverable of this effort, which builds on

the work of Phase 1 (CALMAC ID PGE.0387.01). The study team proposed four verification levels for projects that attempt ZNE. The levels, in order from lowest to highest ZNE verification, are Ultra-Efficient, ZNE Design, ZNE Performance Monitored, and ZNE Performance Verified. CALMAC ID: PGE0387.02 3. Targeted Home Energy Report Strategy (Nexant) This study investigated approaches for more effective customer targeting and delivery of PG&E’s Home Energy Reports (HER) Program. In this report, two new machine learning algorithms were used to identify which customers are more likely to respond strongly to the HER stimulus based on observed customers responses to HERs obtained in a very large scale randomized controlled trial. This study found that 58% of the customers are predicted to produce less than the average of 0.22 kWh per day. Only 2% of customers are predicted to have negative savings. The study also found that 70% of treated customers are not providing great enough energy savings to justify the cost of delivering their reports. CALMAC ID: PGE0425.01

4. PG&E Home Energy Report (HER) Energy Savings Distribution Analysis & Trends Study (Opinion Dynamics) The purpose of this study was to support the redesign of the PG&E HER Program to increase cost- effectiveness and maximize program savings. This study found that, in 2016, less than one quarter of participants saved energy, while nearly one quarter of participants increased their consumption. This study found trends in customer attrition from this program, which includes the attrition rates being the highest for very positive and negative savings groups, higher attrition rates when the wave begins and decreases

• ver time due to declining size, and the attrition mainly driven by participants moving in and out of

PG&E’s service territory. CALMAC ID: PGE0426.01 6
