# 1.1.1. BUSINESS ENERGY SERVICES

In 2007, strategies that had been designed, developed, and implemented over the previous two years in order to increase energy savings in the commercial and industrial market hit their stride. In response to the increased 2007 budget and goals, Efficiency Vermont ramped up efforts in all maj or markets and placed conside rable emphasis on increasing savings among businesses that were the larg est electricity users. Aggressive and intense account management was implemented with th e state’s 65 largest electric customers, and a similar, slightly scaled-down approach was pu t in place to secure savings in the next tier of approximately 300 customers. As a result, Efficiency Vermont saw unprecedented participation by these large business custom ers, with greater depth of savings per customer and a higher yield (megawa tt-hour [MWh] savings achieved per $10,000 invested in efficiency). Targeted segments of the market made tremendous leaps forward, including the large commercial and industrial sector more than tripling energy savings, and Vermont State buildings doubling energy savings. While these results suggest that 2007 strategies for this sector were successful, they may also reflect businesses’ increasing recognition that efficiency can help them achieve their business goals, including lowering costs, increasing productivity, and ac hieving greater workplace comfort.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 920 projects at businesses, reducing their annual electrical consumption by approximately 37,000 MWh, thereby saving them $3.5 million in annual energy costs. The average savings per project were 40 MWh. Compared with

2006, this reflects a 60% increase in MWh sa ved, a 40% increase in the savings per project, and a 12% increase in the number of projects completed. Compared to 2006, annual summer peak demand in 2007 was reduced by 5,600 kilowatts (kW) and annual winter peak demand by 4,800 kW, representing a 25% increase in energy savings during summer peak, and 40% energy savings dur ing winter peak. Although some of the increased results can be explained by the increase in the energy efficiency utility budget, Efficiency Vermont also ac hieved greater internal productivity. For example, business energy services yield, measured in MWh per $10,000 spent, increased 17% from 36 in

2006 to 43 in 2007.

Over the lifetime of the measures installed in 2007, these businesses are expected to earn, through reduced energy costs, an average of 33% return on their energy efficiency investments. Since Efficiency Vermont’s inc eption in 2000, business sector resource savings have accumulated a total lifetime economic value of more than $155 million.
(“Lifetime economic value” is defined as the present value of electr icity, fossil fuels, and water that are saved over the lifetime of the efficiency measures.)

In 2007, more than one-third of the energy sa vings in the business market came from the state’s largest 65 businesses. A significant factor in the increase in savings has been the successful expansion of account management for major market players and the state’s 65 businesses that use more than one MW for at least one month each year. By proactively providing more consistent and direct inter action, building relationships, and increasingits understanding of customers’ needs, Efficiency Vermont increased the number of largeuser participants from 47 in 2006 to 59 in 2007. Savings from these large participants more than quadrupled, from 3,000 MWh in 2006 to 13,000 MWh in 2007. The ability of

### account managers to develop and implement numerous large, facility-wide retrofit projects was a contributing factor in this increase.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont further improve d its productivity in serving the business market by streamlining and systematizing custom project processes. There was a 75%
increase in custom project savings — an amount almost three times larger than the 20% increase in project manager hours on these cust om projects. We have also continued to simplify prescriptive measure approaches, making it easier for customers to apply for and receive incentives. Further, we have expanded prescriptive measure options to include multifamily housing and small new construction.

As in past years, we have applied multiple st rategies across the business market to leverage many business interactions to achieve energy savings. We provide services directly to business customers and to the many tradespeople, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and design and energy service professio nals who work with the Vermont business community. The array of services we provide includes technical, financial, logistical, educational, training, and inform ational support. We know it is essential that our customers have access to a wide array of assistance to complete their projects, and we support multiple strategic relationships to advance energy efficiency in the state.

EXISTING BUSINESS FACILITIES

Efficiency Vermont’s efforts increased the nu mber of businesses that replaced equipment or upgraded their processes to 705 sites in 2007, compared to 642 in 2006. This represents a 10% increase for the year in this market. Energy savings to existing businesses in 2007 increased 50%, to 28,000 MWh, compa red to 2006 savings of 19,000 MWh.

As in past years, services to these busin esses included prescriptive incentives for businesses, contractors, and suppliers, as well as customized services designed to meet specialized needs. Efficiency Vermont continues to position itself as the catalyst for making large retrofit projects happen by p roviding customized tech nical analysis, cashflow analysis, and financial incentives, as well as bringing in other service providers to provide needed services that range from design assistance to assistance in developing financing packages. We have seen an increase in the presence of energy service companies equipped to do large-scale retrofit projects in the state. Partnering with these experienced energy service providers leverages additio nal resources and provides Vermont business customers with additional option s for project implementation.

BUSINESS NEW CONSTRUCTION

New construction projects often require two- to three-year development schedules. As a result, Efficiency Vermont’s new construction results often lag behind its efforts by as much as three years. Nonetheless, we continue to see very strong results, with 116 projects completed in 2007, compared to 84 in 2006. The total annual savings for these projects are almost 8,600 MWh, compared to 4,000 MWh of savings in 2006, a 110% increase.

Efficiency Vermont continues to experience enhanced collaboration with the commercial building design and construction community. In 2007, as part of Efficiency Vermont’s

### continuing effort to develop working relation ships with these partners to improve the efficiency and performance of new construction projects, Efficiency Vermont designed

three streamlined “tracks” for business new con struction, tailored to the different needs of the building community and building projects . Based on feedback from the design and building community, we established the track a pproach to ease custom er participation, increase partner profitability, streamline internal processes, and increase MWh savings. For projects in areas of less than 10,000 square feet, Track One uses existing prescriptive forms for lighting, HVAC, motors, and r efrigeration. Track Two follows the new Advanced Buildings Core Performance Guide (New Buildings Institute). A Vermont version of the guide, to be distributed in ea rly 2008, was adapted to reflect the more stringent Vermont Energy Code. Track Three is for custom projects that do not fit into either of the other two tracks. Examples include projects in spaces that are greater than 10,000 square feet, but are not able to meet all the Core Performance requirements.

TARGETED INITIATIVES

Market Initiatives

During 2007, Efficiency Vermont refined its historically successful strategy of concentrating on specific markets with larg e potential by inaugurating customer-focused account management with many of th e largest customers in these markets.

Colleges and Universities

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 17 facili ty projects with the state’s colleges and universities, including four new construction and major renovation projects and 13 equipment and lighting replacement projects. These projects will reduce the institutions’ annual energy use by 650 MWh, while reducing summer peak by 140 kW and winter peak by 90 kW. We assigned the largest eight colleg es and universities account managers in late

2007 to increase the level of customer servi ce they received, to identify project opportunities, and to gain deeper energy savings from existing projects.

Efficiency Vermont worked with Vermon t Campus Energy Group (VCEG), a statewide college student organization, to perform ou treach and coordinatio n at four Vermont colleges for the second annual ENERGY STA R® Collegiate Change a Light, Change the World Campaign. Since many schools participated last year, the scope of the project was expanded beyond changing out inc andescent lights with CFLs in dormitories to include changing lights in faculty offices and common areas.

Several schools are working with Efficiency Vermont to reduce their carbon emissions and environmental impacts. Vermont Law Sc hool is developing an inventory of its current carbon footprint and identifying pote ntial energy efficiency projects that would reduce carbon emissions. Middlebury Colleg e has created a “MiddShift” proposal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2016, and Effici ency Vermont is working with Middlebury’s implementation team to identify energy sav ings projects. Efficiency Vermont helped fund an HVAC study at St. Michael’s College to a ssist the college in reducing HVAC costs. St. Michael’s has also initiated a pilot to reduce IT and electronic energy use.

### Dairy Farms

Efficiency Vermont continued to provide dai ry farms with direct customer contact, with financial assistance or support through a loan pr ogram, and with incentives and outreach through event attendance and articles and adve rtisements in publications to encourage participation in this mature and saturated market. These services were similar to the activities in 2006. In 2007, Efficiency Vermont helped 53 dairy farms invest in energyefficient equipment and lighting. These pro jects will account for annual savings of $30,000 at those farms and energy savings of 300 MWh.

Efficiency Vermont continued to provide outr each to farms through attendance at farm events, including the Vermont Farm Show in Barre, the Vermont Large Farm Dairy

Conference in Colchester, Bourdeau B rothers Customer Appreciation Day in Middlebury, and the St. Albans Coop annual meeting. Efficiency Vermont also placed advertising and articles in farm publications such as Agriview

, Vermont Fences magazine, and Equine Journal

.

Hospital and Health-Care Facilities

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 36 projects with hospital and health-care facilities, including four major renovations and 18 equi pment replacements; by contrast, in 2006, 17 such projects were completed. These projec ts will reduce the facilities’ annual energy use by approximately 1,800 MWh, and reduce summer peak by 330 kW and winter peak by 200 kW. Hospitals will save approximate ly 90% more energy as a result of these projects compared to savings from projects in 2006.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont implemented a stra tegy to increase ener gy savings in large hospitals (those with a load greater th an one MW) and GeoTargeted hospitals by assigning account managers to build key rela tionships, facilitate communications and planning, and identify and help overcome obstac les at such facilities. Initial meetings with hospitals, the Vermont Association of Hospi tals and Health Systems, and hospital regulators identified an opportunity to rem ove obstacles to including energy efficiency in projects by investigating changes at the regula tory level to separate energy efficiency aspects of the projects from capita l construction budget restrictions.

The project at Central Vermont Medical Center’s (CVMC’s) recent renovation and expansion offers a successful example of efforts undertaken with a health-care facility while a capital construction project was under way. Efficiency Vermont was involved early in the project and worked extensively with the design team to support energy efficiency upgrades to the lighting, HVAC, chilled- water system, controls, transformers, and building envelope. The energy efficiency measures installed at CVMC are expected to save approximately 540,000 kWh and $46,000 annually.

Large Commercial and Industrial

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 81 projects with the 65 largest commercial and

industrial customers, a 20% increase over th e prior year. The savings for the large

commercial and industrial sector were 13,200 MWh, 290% more than in 2006, with summer peak reductions of 1,500 kW and w inter peak reductions of 1,500 kW. The savings from these energy efficiency projects are significant, representing approximately a

### 2% energy reduction of the total annual elec trical consumption of this group and saving these businesses more than $1 million in energy costs annually.

The significant increase in savings can be attribut ed to the results of a strategy begun in 2006 and fully implemented in 2007 that assigned trained account managers to the state’s largest commercial and industrial customer s. In addition to providing better customer service, the account managers gained (and are continuing to gain) familiarity with the decision makers, processes, and equipment at th ese large facilities. Efficiency Vermont is therefore better able to recommend efficiency opportunities suited to helping these customers meet their business objectiv es and reduce their operating costs.

K–12 Schools

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 48 p rojects with K–12 schools: 12 in new construction, 18 in major renovations, and 18 in equipment and lighting replacement. These schools will save approximately $408,000 as a result of these projects and will reduce their annual energy use by 2,700 MWh, while also reducing summer peak by 360 kW and winter peak by 440 kW.

As a result of legislative action, schools were no longer able to receive 30% State aid for school construction projects after March 2007. This change in the funding formula increased the payback time of energy effici ency projects in schools, and may explain the decrease of 8% in the number of school projec ts from 2006. Although fewer projects were completed, the total energy savings increased by 180% over 2006 savings, thanks to the larger size of the 2007 projects. Efficiency Vermont has been invited to participate in reviewing the rules for school construction projects.

For several years, Efficiency Vermont had been working with a Chittenden County school district to implement numerous facility improvements through performance contracting with an energy service company (ESCO). There were many barriers going into this work, but the project was completed in 2007, with resulting annual savings of 150 MWh and

$19,000.

Efficiency Vermont continues to financially support the work of the School Energy Management Program (SEMP) to perform walk -through assessments of schools as a way of identifying opportunities for energy savings projects. In 2007, SEMP visited approximately 68 schools, an acti vity that resulted in numerous referrals to Efficiency Vermont for energy efficiency projects.

Efficiency Vermont continues to give support to the Vermont Energy Education Program (VEEP), which has provided energy educ ation to 3,600 students in K–12 schools throughout the state.

Ski Areas

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont completed 19 projects at nine Vermont ski areas, achieving savings of 1,900 MWh, as well as summer peak reduction of 70 kW and winter peak reduction of 300 kW. These projects will sa ve these Vermont ski areas $400,000 in annual

energy costs.

### In 2007, Efficiency Vermont focused on the ener gy use at ski area base lodges, restaurants, and condominiums to identify significant en ergy savings opportunities. A pilot was launched for providing retro-commissioning serv ices at existing base buildings, to realize savings through improved system operations of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and lighting. One ski area completed a $16,000 retrof it of all base lodge lighting, resulting in a savings of 60 MWh and $3,000.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont hired a snowma king design company, Sno.matic, to assess the snowmaking systems at eight ski areas. The study included on-site testing and metering to establish baseline performance and to verify energy savings. The results of these audits identified energy efficiency opp ortunities within each operation. Account managers will be using these findings to evaluate which measures to put forward in 2008.

The ski areas in Vermont have been strong participants in investing in substantial energy efficiency projects since 2000; they have account ed for approximately 6% of all Efficiency Vermont savings to date. In order to cont inue to support this important industry, Efficiency Vermont implemented an account management strategy at the state’s 10 largest ski areas (out of 19) to provide an increased le vel of customer service, identify additional opportunities for energy efficiency, and elim inate potential barriers to participation in future projects. Efficiency Vermont has al so provided support to build and maintain strong relationships by becoming a Vermont Ski Areas Association (VSAA) partner, making presentations at VSAA annual meetings, and supporting the group’s publications with advertising and articles.

State Buildings

The State of Vermont will save approximate ly $200,000 on its energy costs as a result of the 92 projects completed with Efficien cy Vermont in 2007, approximately 105% more cost savings than from projects complete d in 2006. These projects will save 2,000 MWh, reducing summer peak by 470 kW and winter peak by 250 kW. These 93 projects represent a 95% increase in the number of p rojects completed in 2006 and include four
new construction projects, 50 major renovati on projects, and 39 equipment replacement projects. Of the 39 equipment replacement s, 80% were the result of compliance with energy efficiency standards in State purchasing contracts, and the result of Efficiency Vermont’s work in assisting the State in leve raging energy savings in routine product purchasing.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont instituted a strategy for assigning account managers to the 25 largest electric customers for State of Vermon t facilities, as a way of increasing savings at buildings with significant potential. These 25 el ectric accounts represent approximately 75% of Vermont State facilities’ electricity consumption. In addition, three agencies with considerable potential were targeted for in creasing their energy savings, including the Department of Corrections, the Department of Buildings and General Maintenance, and

the Vermont Air National Guard.

Two correctional facilities in northeaste rn Vermont — the Caledonia Community Work Camp in St. Johnsbury and the Northern Stat e Correctional Facility in Newport — were the focus of an impressive partnership that r esulted in significant energy savings in both facilities. The Vermont State Buildings Energy Efficiency Partnership, made possible by a

### $125,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy “Rebuild America” grant, included the following organizations: The Department of Public Service, the Department of Buildings and General Services, Efficiency Verm ont, the Burlington Electric Department,

Vermont Gas, the Alliance for Climate Acti on, and two other Vermont State agencies. The grant was used to hire an outside auditor, who performed audits at all State

correction facilities and courthouses. These audits identified potential energy efficiency measures, some of which were completed in 2007. The improvements implemented at the Northern State Correctional Facility and Caledonia Community Work Camp will save more than $15,000 per year.

Water and Wastewater Facilities

Efficiency Vermont continues to partner with two key associations that support this

market, the Vermont Rural Water Association and the Green Mountain Water Environment Association, through attendance at their trade shows and through placing ads and writing articles for their publication s. Thirteen water and wastewater projects were completed in 2007 with a savings of 450 MWh.

Other Market Initiatives

Several markets, including conve nience stores, large retail stores, and large grocery stores, have been identified as large users with significant potential energy savings. In 2007, Efficiency Vermont initiated efforts to increase its understanding of these complex retail market subsets through market characterization; this effort allowed Efficiency Vermont to develop and implement strategies to increase energy savings. Results of these efforts are not expected until 2008.

Technology Initiatives

Facility Operational Efficiency

The facility operational efficien cy initiative was launched to increase the energy savings of existing buildings by improving operational practices for equipment and systems. In 2007, a retro-commissioning pilot was under way, using new model documents to facilitate solicitation of operational efficiency contractors.

HVAC and Refrigeration

This year, HVAC and refrigeration were iden tified as a market initiative for targeting increased energy savings. In 2007, we began to increase our understanding of this complex supply chain in order to develop and implement strategies to increase such savings. Through market intervention efforts, th e lack of readily av ailable, high-efficiency HVAC equipment in Vermont has surfaced as a barrier. In response, Efficiency Vermont participated in preliminary design efforts wi th other Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) sponsors to develop a framework for providing incentives upstream to distributors and suppliers. This activity is expected to stimulate the stocking of more efficient HVAC equipment. Results of these efforts in 2007 will be shown in 2008. This

### targeted supply chain approach was inspired by the success of the lighting and daylighting

initiative discussed below.

Lighting and Daylighting

The savings from lighting increased by 85% as a result of investments made in the past year in building relationships, providing ed ucation, understanding the barriers in the supply chain, and informing the market about changes in technologies.

To meet the increased energy savings goals set by the Ve rmont Public Service Board, Efficiency Vermont needed to increase its staff and expand its office space. The new offices were designed to showcase some of th e innovations in lighting so that it could be used as a demonstration and laboratory for our customers and partners: lighting suppliers, architects, engineers, designers, and contractors in Vermont. The new spaceincludes systems ranging from low cost to high end; stand-alone lighting and computercontrolled systems; and special-order and read ily available items. Educational lighting tours were held on the premises at the end of 2007 and are scheduled to continue into

2008.

We continue to participate in NEEP’s commercial lighting initiative, which uses Vermont’s approach to working with the entire lighting supply chain. In Vermont, market availability and installations of H igh-Performance T8 (HPT 8) fluorescent lighting increased dramatically in 2007. For example, th ere was a 60% increase in the quantity of installed HPT8 equipment over 2006, with a 60% increase in savings attributed to this technology.

# 1.1.2. RESIDENTIAL ENERGY SERVICES

Efficiency Vermont’s services to the state’s residents in 2007 helped 42,800 Vermont households save 57,000 MWh in annual electricity use. These savings account for 40% of our three-year performance goal for this market. This accomplishment represents a remarkable 90% increase in savings over 2006, in large part because of our extensive efforts to increase compact fluorescent ligh tbulb (CFL) sales. Our efforts have helped Vermont households reduce summer peak demand by 7,400 kW per year, reduce annual winter peak demand by 9,600 kW, and save $32.8 million in lifetime economic value
(“Lifetime economic value” is defined as the present value of electr icity, fossil fuels and

water that are saved over the lifetime of th e efficiency measures). Efficiency Vermont’s 2007 yield in the residential secto r increased 65% over that of 2006.

We continue to partner with retailer s, manufacturers, contractors, and design professionals to provide access to energy-effi cient products and services for Vermont’s residential customers. As in the past, in 2007 we used informational, financial, and directservice strategies to encourage the purchase and sale of energy-efficient products and services to all parties involved in energy-related transactions.

Efficiency Vermont continues to work closely with Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. (VGS) and the Burlington Electric Department (BED) to provide services to households in those companies’ respective territori es. We also continue to work with regional and national energy efficiency organizations and initiatives to leverage th eir influence on regional and

national issues to benefit Vermont customers. Our active interaction with this network also keeps us abreast of new technologies and approaches that can benefit our customers.

RETAIL EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

In 2007, sales of CFLs in Vermont increased a dramatic 140% over the previous record set in 2006. Vermont and New England had been leaders in the nation in CFL sales per
person even prior to 2007. Efficiency Vermont also con tinued to assist Vermont households and businesses in making energy-effi cient choices by promoting other ENERGY STAR qualified products when purchasing new or replacement products.

This year, Efficiency Vermont worked aggressively to shift the bulk of CFL lighting promotions from instant coupons to negot iated cooperative promotions (NCPs), often referred to as “buy-downs” or “markdowns.” This shift lowered administrative and perproduct costs, simplified customer particip ation, and addressed the resistance of some retailers to coupon-based implementation. Efficiency Vermont staff placed considerable effort into attracting manufacturers and retail ers, and negotiating agreements that would ensure adequate inventory at acceptable pricin g levels. At the end of 2007, 74% of all CFL sales, equal to 580,000 CFLs, had been made through these joint promotions. The NCPs allow the customer to pay a discounted price, typically negotiated to be equal to or slightly lower than the price of a CFL after applying an instant coupon. Further, this strategy eliminates for the customer the additional time and effort needed to complete and submit the coupon form. By entering into the NCP, the retailer agrees to sell a certain number of

### CFLs for a set price during an agreed-upon ti me period. The manufacturer and retailer benefit by receiving firm support from Effi ciency Vermont for a fixed volume of bulbs. Customers benefit from increased product availa bility and Efficiency Vermont’s ability to designate specific products for promotion. This method also gives Efficiency Vermont greater control over choice of bulb and promotion of a greater variety of bulb types, a key Efficiency Vermont goal as this market matures. During 2007, Efficiency Vermont entered into 18 NCPs, primarily with large ret ail chains such as Rite Aid drug stores, Ace

Hardware, True Value, Aubuchon Hardware, Home Depot, and others, representing approximately 170 stores across all of Verm ont. The NCP process was instrumental in helping previously nonparticipating large reta ilers to promote CFLs in their stores.

Efficiency Vermont commissioned public relations and advertising firm Kelliher Samets Volk to study consumer perceptions abou t CFLs in 2007, in order to guide future marketing and promotion strategies, includ ing a statewide media promotional campaign for 2008. In general, KSV found that the moneta ry savings available for efficient lighting present the greatest motivat or for Vermont consumers; th e 2008 campaign will thus focus on this benefit. KSV also found that people don’t know what to call CFLs, and are not aware of the many different types of bulbs th at are available for different applications. This information will also be empha sized in the statewide campaign.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont also actively supp orted community groups in their efforts to hold CFL promotional events throughout the state. A more detailed discussion of this partnership is located in the Community Ener gy Initiatives section of this report. In addition, we have streamlined the process for schools and nonprofit organizations to promote CFLs for fundraisers by connecting th em to local Efficiency Vermont retail lighting partner stores for project support . A vital part of our success: the strong partnerships we built with retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers of ENERGY STAR qualified products. We also have continued to participate in regiona l and national energy efficiency product promotional, research, and testing initiatives that leverage outside resources, help us influence product develop ment and accessibility, and inform us of product and industry information.

In an effort to encourage Vermonters to buy the most energy-efficient appliances, Efficiency Vermont launched the “Save More with ENERGY STAR” promotion, teaming with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in one of only two statewide pilots in the nation. The campaign promoted a higher tier of efficient refrigerators and room air conditioners among those that are ENE RGY STAR qualified. These more-efficient appliances are labeled with “Save More” iden tification, and Efficiency Vermont now offers increased incentives for them. Approx imately 13%, or 175, of the refrigerators for which rebates were submitted in 2007 were at the higher “Save More” tier.

Efficiency Vermont promoted ENERGY STA R dehumidifiers for the first time in 2007. Rebates were provided to consumers who purch ased the most energy efficient of these products from May through August. Efficiency Vermont retail partners provided rebates for 1,080 ENERGY STAR dehumidifiers during this initial promotion, saving 80 MWh.

Efficiency Vermont co-funded a pilot projec t to establish a “Green Room” with Green Mountain Electric Supply to showcase energy-effi cient lighting at its St. Albans lighting store, Lighting Designs and More. The Green Room exhibits 48 ENERGY STAR labeled fixtures to provide consumers with an aestheti c display of energy-efficient lighting. This

### approach has inspired other lighting sh owrooms to begin planning their own ENERGY STAR fixture displays.

Although Efficiency Vermont has loaned ou t bicycle trainer CFL demonstrators in the past, this year one of the four bicycles re ceived additional exposure. Efficiency Vermont loaned the bike to the EPA for its Change a Ligh t Bus Tour and worked with its marketing contractor to create signage that acknowledg ed Efficiency Vermont. The interactive display was a popular exhibit on the tour and was shown on a segment of NBC’s Today show in New York City. Efficiency Vermon t continues to loan the bikes to retailers, schools, nonprofit groups, and community even t organizers to support their events.

Efficiency Vermont has also purchased 50 interac tive displays (called utility electric meter CFL comparators) that compare a CFL with an incandescent bulb. The comparator is in great demand at retail partner stores for long- term lighting displays, and is available to groups for specific events.

RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION

Efficiency Vermont, in partnership with Vermont Gas Systems, Inc., continued to promote greater efficiency in the residential new construction market, primarily through support to builders and buyers of new Vermont homes that meet the requirements for the ENERGY STAR label. We provided: (1) ENE RGY STAR labeling for qualified homes; (2) energy code support; (3) plan reviews; (4) tech nical assistance; (5) site inspections; (6) energy ratings; and (7) performance testing.

In 2007, Vermont had one of the highest stat ewide market penetrations of ENERGY STAR qualified homes in the country, despite a declining housing market and significantly more stringent ce rtification requirements. Preliminary EPA ENERGY STAR reporting indicates 30-35% of all new housing units in Vermont achieved the ENERGY STAR label, whereas the national average wa s less than 10%. The number of new singlefamily homes enrolled and completed in our services increased from 541 homes in 2006

to 564 homes in 2007. In addition, 32 new bui lders participated in building ENERGY STAR qualified homes, representing a 15% incre ase over the prior year. This increased level of participation was made even more significant given the more stringent criteria added by the EPA to ENERGY STAR in late 2006, including a thermal bypass checklist

that made it much harder for builders to achieve ENERGY STAR qualification, and effectively necessitated an additional si te visit during the construction phase.

The updated ENERGY STAR homes standards provide a greater level of assurance to homeowners and efficiency program implementers that homes built to the standards will reliably deliver a high level of thermal energy savings. The new requirement to complete the bypass checklist will result in homes that are more airtight, and that have a significantly decreased chance for thermal defects that typically cannot be easily identified when the house is complete. Efficiency Verm ont credits the commitment of Vermont’s building community for its success in having so many homes meet the new standards. Our project managers worked clo sely with the builders to make sure that they understood the new requirements and how to meet them. In addition, the housing market in 2007 was extremely weak, which added to builders’ co ncern that the extra step and extra work

### would cost them money. Even in this difficult economic climate, with more stringent standards for building, Vermont increased its market share of ENERGY STAR labeled homes over the previous year. Efforts in 2007 included:

• Training builders at local building supply ho uses on how to meet bypass checklist
requirements

• Making staff available and dedicated to he lp builders, one-on-one, to ensure their

success

• Partnering with home builders ass ociations for membership outreach.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) continued to provide opportunities to residential

builders and owners to build more en ergy-efficient homes. Many in the Vermont building community were well situated to benefit from this tax credit because of the high level of energy efficiency building practices th ey have developed, sup ported through their participation in building ENE RGY STAR labeled homes and through years of attendance at the Better Buildings by Design Conference. In 2007, 178 homes met EPAct requirements, compared to 88 in 2006. Effici ency Vermont supported this level of participation, providing information on its web site, and providing ratings and verification support to every tax-credit -qualifying building enrolled in the Vermont
ENERGY STAR Homes program.

Efficiency Vermont also had the opportu nity to work with the Home Builders and

Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont to lower the association’s energy use and costs when the group moved into new offices. During renovation of the office space, Efficiency Vermont Business Energy Servi ces staff evaluated the building and found opportunities for energy savings in ligh ting and air-sealing. The building was outfitted with efficient fixtures, and air leakage was reduced by 50%. The Home Builders and Remodelers Association will save approximat ely $450 annually from these improvements.

In order to make it easier for customers to ge t energy code information, the Energy Code Assistance Center was integrated into Efficien cy Vermont. This streamlined approach saved the State money, created a single po int of contact for obtaining information, and made training curricula more holist ic in relating codes to energy use.

One of Efficiency Vermont’s goals for resi dential new construction in Vermont was to deepen the level of energy savings per hom e. One strategy that demonstrated results in

2007 was the increase in the number of CFLs ins talled by contractors, from nearly zero in 2006 to 450 in new homes in 2007. There have also been more installations of gas dryers and electronically commutated motors ( ECMs) because of changes to the incentive

structure.

EXISTING HOMES

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont continued to provi de services to obtain energy savings and support the existing homes market through multiple approaches that included: (1) targeted direct services, particularly foc using on low-income Vermonters; (2) customer

service assistance for both technical and ed ucational information, discussed in depth in

### the Efficiency Vermont-wide Activities section; and (3) increased support for private service providers working to help Vermont homeowners save energy.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR grew to serve more than 170 customers in 2007 through a network of private energy effici ency contractors certified to Building
Performance Institute (BPI) standards. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR is a market-based initiative that relies on these pr ivate contractors to deliver efficiency services to Vermont households. Efficiency Ve rmont’s role in the service is to train and support the contractors, provide quality assur ance to help the contractors distinguish themselves from the competition, and incre ase market demand for the contractors’ services by building the market presence of the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR brand. Participating contractors reported 123 whole-house energy efficiency retrofits and an additional 50 energy audits with directly installed electrical me asures (primarily CFLs). The energy savings from these projects totaled more than 130 MWh and 6,700 MMBTUs. Of the whole-house projects, 30 took advantage of reduced interest rate financing.

Efficiency Vermont trained and mentored contr actors to BPI standards, helping them to achieve Building Analyst, Envelope Specialist, and Heat Specialist certifications. In 2007,

19 new contractors became BPI certified and began serving Vermonters through Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR. This nu mber represents a major increase in the contractor pool, which now totals 28 BPI-certified contractors across the state. Efficiency

Vermont also offered two free advanced tr aining sessions to certified contactors in 2007, providing opportunities for contractors to gain BPI continuing education credits, improve their technical knowledge, and learn techniques for successful sales and marketing.

To support the success of the certified contrac tors, Efficiency Vermont placed radio and print media ads across the state, promoting the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR service. The spring and fall ad vertising campaigns, funded with generous support from the U.S. EPA, generated more than 30,000 visits to Efficiency Vermont’s Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR w eb site, a 270% increase over 2006.

Our efforts in 2007 also focused on improving and streamlining all our internal processes for tracking data and providing contractor tr aining and support, as well as the tools and systems that contractors use to report jobs. We worked to develop consistent contractor mentoring and quality assurance procedures to support growth in the number of participating contractors and in the number of jobs reported by those contractors.

Targeted High Use

In 2007, more than 280 targeted high use projects were carried out across the state to assist customers with high electricity bill s. Efficiency Vermont provided technical support

and incentives for electric heat and ho t water fuel switches; early replacement of inefficient refrigerators; and other cost-effecti ve, electricity-saving measures. Most of these projects resulted from customer calls to the Efficiency Vermont Customer Service line. These projects resulted in more than 840 MWh savings and will save participants a total of $43,000 annually.

### Low-Income Single Family

Although many of Efficiency Vermont’s activities intended to reduce energy use in Vermont households also assist low-income residents, we have targeted specific services to households that have been most negatively af fected by high energy costs. Discussion of our services for low-income Vermonters living in multifamily housing is in the following section, Multifamily Housing Services. Efficiency Vermont has continued its success in serving low-income Vermonters by working wi th Vermont’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) when its staff is providing thermal improvements in single-family homes. This partnership allows WAP to provide direct installation of energy-saving and water-saving products and cost-effective repl acement of electric heat, hot water, and inefficient refrigeration equipment on site. In 2007, WAP agencies served 1,255 households, generating 1,900 MWh of energy savings. These households will save a total

of $150,000 on their combined annual electric bi lls as a result of the energy efficiency

installations made in 2007.

MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SERVICES

Efficiency Vermont completed 99 low-income and market-rate multifamily housing projects in 2007, compared to 49 in 2006. This resulted in an increase in savings in the multifamily housing market of 102% over the prior year. Of the projects completed, 72 were in new construction or were major renovations, and 25 were upgrades in equipment or lighting. The energy savings in low-in come multifamily projects in 2007 increased savings by 140% over 2006.

In order to encourage more participation by market-rate developers, as well as by nonprofit affordable housing developers, E fficiency Vermont updated and improved its multifamily design checklist with a flat per-u nit incentive rate for new construction. We communicated the features of the multifamily design checklist to the state’s most active housing developers, and posted the checklist on the Efficiency Vermont web site.

The multifamily prescriptive form develop ed in late 2006 has been a successful tool in helping private property owne rs install energy efficiency measures when readying a unit during tenant turnover. This form allow s property owners more convenience in interacting with Efficiency Vermont at the times when they most often implement unit upgrades. In its first year of use, 36 projects in 110 units were completed, saving 80 MWh. It appears that most property owners have used the Efficiency Vermont web site to

download it for use.

# 1.1.3. GEOTARGETING ACTIVITIES

Recent Public Service Board (PSB) orders di rected Efficiency Vermon t to attain increased energy efficiency in specific utility-defined geographic areas of the state. The PSB’s intent is to pursue and evaluate the extent to whi ch targeted efficiency can help relieve the

electric load on constrained transmission and distribution systems. In 2007, Efficiency Vermont designed and began to implement strate gies to direct increased energy efficiency services to those four targeted areas of the state. The GeoTargeted areas are: (1) St. Albans and vicinity; (2) northern Chittenden County; (3) Newport / Derby; and (4) southern areas of Vermont identified as the “Southern Loop.” The utilities that serve these targeted

areas are Green Mountain Power, Central Vermont Public Service, and the Vermont Electric Cooperative.

All Efficiency Vermont services that deliver en ergy savings statewide also deliver savings in these targeted areas. The foundation for achi eving savings in the targ eted areas is laid by maximizing participation in these statewid e services and initiatives. The activities and

results discussed in this section relate to a dditional new initiatives that were implemented in 2007 specifically in the targeted areas.

Three primary strategies were designed and implemented in the targeted areas to maximize savings for each of three customer groups, defined by kWh use. The groups

were clustered as:

• Large Business Users — those that ty pically consume more than 500,000 kWh per

year

• Medium Business Users — those that consume more than 40,000 kWh and fewer than 500,000 kWh per year

• Small Businesses and Residential User s — those that consume fewer than 40,000 kWh per year.

Although much of the focus for 2007 was on designing strategy and launching the new efforts, early results of the GeoTargeting approach are promising. At the end of 2007, energy savings for all GeoTargeted areas were 190% of savings in the same areas in 2006. Peak demand reductions increased by 90% for winter kW and 275% for summer compared to 2006.

Strategy and Implementation for Large Business Users

In the targeted areas, approximately 150 a ccounts, corresponding wi th approximately 125 businesses, use more than 500,000 kWh per year. These businesses account for approximately 60% of the commercial and industrial electrical consumption in the targeted areas. To maximize energy savings from these customers, Efficiency Vermont is using an intense, individualized approach. That is , each of these large users was assigned an account manager, and outreach to th ese businesses began in late summer. Account managers learned about the customers’ energy use, their future plans, and business drivers. The account managers then used this knowledge to identify potential energy savings opportunities that met their custom ers’ business needs. They worked diligently

### with the customers to overcome the indivi dual barriers to implementing cost-effective

measures.

An excellent example of the success of account management and GeoTargeted efforts is Efficiency Vermont’s growing positive re lationship with Hu sky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. Efficiency Vermont began w orking with Husky in 2001. Since then, we have successfully built relationships wi th their personnel both at the facility operations and management levels. In 2006, Efficiency Verm ont partnered with lighting ESCOs to perform lighting audits of Husky’s manufacturing space, and to provide

recommendations and calculations for financ ial paybacks on a package of potential energy efficiency improvements. Efficiency Ve rmont reviewed the analyses and offers, and presented Husky with an incentive package. At the time, the projected payback did not meet the company’s requirements. In 2007, in co njunction with the GeoTargeting effort in northern Chittenden County, Efficiency Vermont presented a new economic scenario for the lighting improvement project that satisfied Husky’s investment criteria. In addition to this large lighting project, Efficiency Vermont worked with Husky's information technology and maintenance departments on many smaller projects, including server and monitor replacements.

Strategy and Implementation for Medium Business Users

In the targeted areas, approximat ely 1,400 businesses use between 40,000 kWh and 500,000 kWh per year. Efficiency Vermont used a strategy of rapidly leveraging their potential for energy savings through ligh ting upgrades. In the summer of 2007, Efficiency Vermont issued a request for qualifications to provide direct turnkey installations of energy-efficient lighting and ot her measures in the targeted areas. The effort was named “Lighting Plus.” After a thorough review and selection process, RISE Engineering, with operations located in South Burlington, Vermon t, was chosen as the general contractor in late summer. RISE Engineering has selected sev eral Vermont electrical contractors and distributors to provide products and servic es. Lighting Plus began free energy analyses of eligible businesses’ facilities in early November, followed by direct installations of energyefficient lighting upgrades in December. As of the end of December, 107 energy analyses had been performed. Lighting Plus also provi des an opportunity f or demonstrating and showcasing new technology and lighting designs as models for other businesses. Additionally, RISE identifies other opportunities for custom energy analysis and efficiency

recommendations.

Strategies for Small Businesses and Residential Users

For businesses using fewer than 40,000 kWh per year, approximately 5,000 businesses collectively in the targeted areas, the prima ry strategy is to increase sales of lighting products in retail stores. The same strategy is being used to promote energy efficiency to the approximately 55,000 residential accounts in the targeted areas. Efficiency Vermont partnered with local retailers and manufactur ers to make secure agreements for adequate supplies of energy-efficient products to stock their retail stores. We further promoted the sale of CFLs in the GeoTargeted areas by mailing approximately 43,000 coupons to residences in the fall, with offers of “buy two to get one CFL free” or “buy four to get two CFLs free.” Efficiency Vermont also developed special offers for CFLs, similar to the residential coupons, for small businesses. Approxim ately 1,900 CFLs were sold as a result of the coupon direct mail effort.

### Efficiency Vermont launched other efforts to increase awareness of energy savings in the communities located within the targeted areas, reaching out to municipal, business, and

other local leaders to increase their involve ment in these efforts. Several activities were scheduled to promote energy efficiency in these communities.

The Efficiency Vermont web site promoted GeoTargeting, with a dedicated section presenting general information, answering fr equently asked questions, and providing interactive maps. The web site also contains sp ecific links to community “clusters” located within the targeted areas. These clusters identi fy local retailers and other local community resources. The GeoTargeting section of the web site had a total of 9,177 visits in 2007, with an average of more than 2.5 minutes per visit.

# 1.1.4. EFFICIENCY VERMONT-WIDE ACTIVITIES

This section highlights Efficiency Vermont ac tivities and services that serve participants in

the business and residential sectors. The f ollowing activities engaged Vermonters across multiple markets.

Community Energy Initiatives

Community-based energy efficiency and climate change initiatives have continued to grow in Vermont. In 2007, dozens of local committees and community-based organizations were active across the state, with new ones forming throughout the year. Many of them have combined to form an a ssociation known as th e Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network (VECAN). Partnering with the association members has been a valuable strategy for Efficiency Vermont, both for directly acquiring energy savings and for building broader awareness of efficiency opportunities and Efficiency Vermont

services.

Efficiency Vermont worked with nine of these local initiatives in 2007 to conduct CFL campaigns and events. The Bennington Bright Idea campaign achieved its 2006–2007 goal of 40,000 CFLs sold in Bennington. The town of Charlotte continued the efforts it began in 2006. And the relatively small town of Hine sburg met its goal of 6,000 bulbs sold. In September, Bristol launched its Communit y CFL Promotion at the Bristol Harvest Festival on the town green. CFL sales at that single event were greater than 1,100, accounting for more than 20% of the town ’s goal of 5,000. In November, Montpelier kicked off its Lighten up Montpelier Challenge with significant media attention and a goal of installing 20,000 CFLs. In December, the Richmond Climate Action Committee challenged its residences and businesses to install 4,000 CFLS.

Two communities, Hardwick and Northfield, were selected in 2006 as the two towns in which Efficiency Vermont would proactively seek to develop community-based energy initiatives and achieve specific results as part of the Efficiency Vermont 2006–2008

contract with the Public Service Board. Th e performance goals are 35% participation in

both towns and a reduction in one town’s annu al energy use of 3% from 2005 electrical usage, to be achieved by December 31, 2008. In 2007, Efficiency Vermont continued to pursue these goals through the communit y energy committees formed in 2006, the Hardwick Energy Action Resource Team, or “H EART,” and the Northfield Energy Action

Team, or “NEAT.” At the end of 2007, Hardwick had achieved 90% of the participation goal and 290% of the energy savings goal. By year’s end, Northfield had achieved 75% of the participation goal and 120% of the energy savings goal.

Efficiency Vermont’s Better Buildings by Design Conference

As previously agreed with the Department of P ublic Service and the Public Service Board, no conference was held in 2007. Activity was limited to planning and preparing for the 2008 Better Buildings by Design Conference.

### Efficiency Vermont Web Site

There were more visits to the Efficiency Vermont web site in 2007 than in any previous years, with a 68% increase in web site visi ts compared to 2006. That is, approximately 390,000 visitors went to the web site in 2007, 158,000 more than in 2006 and an average of 1,068 per day. A comprehensive enhancement of dynamic content brought customers back to the site, with the average visitor returning to the site 2.34 times to obtain information. The average site visit is 11 minutes and 51 seconds, which is substantially longer than most web site visits, indicating that viewers were engaged with the content of the site. Many Vermonters use the web site for information about energy efficiency and referrals to retailers, contractors, and energy service and design professionals.

Approximately 1 million pages were viewed on the Efficiency Vermont web site in 2007. Overall, the residential pages received m ore traffic, with “Ask Rachael” columns generating the largest number of visits and pages viewed.

Efficiency Vermont designed its marketing camp aigns to bring potential customers to the web site to get more information and take action. The campaign to promote Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR contains detail s about Efficiency Vermont services and allows visitors to request that a certified contr actor contact them. The number of visits to

the Home Performance with ENERGY STA R section increased 274% over 2006, with approximately 31,000 visits. A total of 299 form s were submitted through the web site for

this service in 2007.

By the end of December 2007, more than 716 businesses were listed on the Marketplace section, which refers visitors to retailers, contractors, builders, and designers who have qualified as energy-efficient product or servi ce providers. Traffic to the Marketplace

increased 100% from 2006, with a total of 12,305 visits in 2007. The web site also brought an average of 25 visits per day for residential services and 8.6 per day for business services. The average time a visitor spent on th e Marketplace for 2007 was approximately 1.5

minutes, an increase of almost 30 seconds over 2006.

Customer Service

The telephone call volume to the Efficien cy Vermont customer service department in 2007 was 17,600, a 27% increase over phone calls from 2006. E-mail traffic increased by more than 98% over the previous year, as cust omers sought guidance on all aspects of

commercial and residential savings opportunities. The increase in calls and e-mails

reflects consumer demand for assistance and demonstrates increased awareness of Efficiency Vermont as the state’s resource for energy savings.

In late 2007, the customer service department launched a call-tracking process, in which customers were asked a series of screening questions that allowed service staff to understand better who called and why. Weekly reports from the call log are made available to staff to aid in-house planning and training, and to help gauge the effectiveness of ongoing marketing campaigns and events.

As a result of the call logging process, Efficien cy Vermont learned that approximately 30% of customers calling the toll-free number had been referred to it by their electric utility. These callers were looking for help with high electric bills or had specific technical

### questions. Customer service directly responde d to many of these calls, providing answers to questions, sending relevant publications from Efficiency Vermont or information on Efficiency Vermont services and financial inc entives. Where appropriate, customer service personnel referred callers to other effici ency entities (for example, Vermont’s LowIncome Weatherization Assistance Program or Verm ont Gas) or redirected their calls to specific Efficiency Vermont staff able to assist them further.

For customers with concerns about specific appliances or devices, Efficiency Vermont

offers a free meter loan service. Customers c an use a meter free of charge for two weeks. The meter can measure any 120-volt plug- in device and registers kWh usage and estimated monthly cost. A total of 160 cust omers took advantage of the meter loan in 2007. Customers continue to report this se rvice as being very useful. Survey results showed 66% of respondents identified wa ys to save electricity and 95% would

recommend the service to a friend.

Media

Efficiency Vermont uses multiple communic ation tools to provide outreach and education to Vermonters, encouraging ener gy-efficient choices when they are making purchasing decisions, determining home or busi ness improvements, or buying a house. In 2007, Efficiency Vermont placed 1,076 arti cles in the general press and 54 articles in business and group publications, and placed 195 “Ask Rachael” columns, including the column run in two daily newspapers. The “Ene rgy Solutions with Dan and Paul” columns have run a total of 22 times, including regu lar features in the Champlain, Rutland, and Valley Business Journals . Efficiency Vermont and projects it supported were featured in 395 television programs, 12 radio talk shows, and 146 ads that were placed to promote Efficiency Vermont’s services. In 2007, Effi ciency Vermont launched Wattson, the lightning bug mascot; his debut to the publ ic took place during a July Lake Monsters baseball game. Wattson has since appeared to his adoring fans at 15 events around the

state.

Some highlights of public outreach activities:

• Efficiency Vermont was featured in Popular Mechanics in January 2007.

• The Documentary Channel filmed Effici ency Vermont in the Bennington’s Bright Idea Campaign.

• Efficiency Vermont published The Energy Smart Home , a comprehensive guide to energy efficiency in the home.

• HGTV filmed an Efficiency Vermont home renovation story for its program My

House Is Worth What? to be aired in early 2008.

• Efficiency Vermont was featured on the front page of the New York Times business

section.

• Efficiency Vermont was included in Green Makeover , a video by the Vermont Environmental Consortium offering a humorous, educational, and entertaining look at how Vermonters can save money on their bills and improve the energy efficiency of their businesses. The feature aired more than 200 times on 11 community access television stations.

Awards

### • Efficiency Vermont held a press conferenc e and received coverage of the USDA

Award for Partner of the Year.

• Efficiency Vermont received the EPA ENERGY STAR Award for Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR.

• The American Council for an Energy-Effi cient Economy recognized Vermont for its leadership in energy efficiency, rank ing it as best in the country in a three-way

tie with California and Connecticut.

• The American Council for an Energy-E fficient Economy recognized Efficiency Vermont with Exemplary Program awards for six different Efficiency Vermont programs, the largest number awarded to any efficiency program administrator in the country.

Information Technology

Information technology upgrades made in 2007 in creased staff productivity by making systems interactions easier, more accurate, and less time consuming.

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont greatly increased its use of tablet PCs and associated electronic data entry forms, allowing staff to enter project information on site. This strategy reduced data entry time and increased accuracy. Direct interaction with customers at their locations, streamlining information-gathering processes, is becoming an increasingly important feature of Efficiency Vermont’s services.

Another upgrade to the knowledge informat ion system, called KITT Plus, integrated the classification of project information for user s through the use of icons. The visual icons allow for the representation of information ab out customers in a toolbar strip, so users don’t have to dig for pertinent details; which saves time and increases their knowledge

about the customer.

Regional and National Energy Efficiency Efforts

In 2007, Efficiency Vermont continued to strate gically engage with ta rgeted regional and national organizations and initiat ives that further develop and support its energy efficiency efforts in Vermont. Our relationsh ips with these regional and national efforts help us to leverage regional / national reso urces, strengthen partnerships, and influence and learn about new technologies, policies, and approaches that can benefit Vermonters. The following are some of the regional and national organizations and initiatives we participated with in 2007:

• The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
ENERGY STAR program

• Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnershi ps (NEEP), a regional organization that facilitates State and utility energy efficiency efforts in the Northeast through information sharing, planning, and coordinat ion of market transformation efforts

• The Consortium for Energy Efficiency, a national nonprofit organization that

works with its North American members — energy efficiency service providers, government offices, and utilities — to promote the manufacture and purchase of energy efficiency products

# 4.1. CUSTOMER CREDIT PROGRAM

4.1.1. NARRATIVE

The Customer Credit program (CCP) provides an alternative program path for large businesses that meet program eligibility crit eria. The program enables customers with thecapability and resources to identify, analyze, and undertake efficiency projects and selfimplement energy efficiency measures with fi nancial assistance from Efficiency Vermont (EVT). CCP customers can apply for financial incentives for any retrofit or market-driven project that saves electrical energy and passes the Vermont so cietal cost-effectiveness test. Once a customer elects to participate in CCP , that customer is no longer eligible to participate in other EVT programs.

All projects must be customer initiated. In addition, the customer or its contractors must complete all technical analysis. Customers ca n receive cash incentives capped at 70% of their projected two-year contribution to the st atewide energy efficiency fund at any time.

Customers can draw on contributions from th e current year and either the previous or ensuing year. Market-driven projects are eligible for incentives equal to 100% of the incremental measure cost. For retrofit projec ts, customers can receive incentives that reduce the customer payback time to 18 months.

Eligible Market

To be eligible for CCP, customers must:

• Never have accepted cash incentives from any Vermont utility Demand Side Management (DSM) program;

• Show a corporate commitment to energy e fficiency by participation in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Cl imate Wise program, or currently active similar program as determined by the PSB; and

• Have ISO 14001 certification.Prior Year Current

Footnotes for the report table templates:

(1) Activity for the prior reporting year.

(2) Activity for the current reporting year. For savings, the fi gure reported is estimated savings for measures actually implemented for the current report period. Savings are re ported in MWh, at generation and net of all approved adjustment factors, except as otherwise noted.

(3) Projected costs for Year 2007 are estimates only and pr ovided for informational purpose s. The EVT contract is based on three-year cumulative budgets and savings goals.

(4) Data reported for the contract period star ting January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

(5) Data reported for the contract period star ting March 1, 2000 through December 31, 2007.

(6) Number of customers with installed measures. “# pa rticipants with installations” is counted by summing unique physical locations (sites) where effici ency measures have been installed for the reporting period. For multifamily projects the “# of participants with installations” is counted by summing the number of individual units. Under “Cumulative starting 1/1/06” and Cumula tive starting 3/1/00, customers are counted once, regardless of the number of times the customer participates in EVT services during 2000-2007.

(7) Number of customers with custom analysis during the curre nt report period. This reflects the number of customers who initiated a new custom project during the reporting pe riod and where measures may not have been installed.

(8) Number of customers who had analysis at any time and have installed measures during the reporting period. This reflects the number of customers who completed a custom project during the reporting period. Under Cumulative starting 1/1/06 and Cumulative starti ng 3/1/00, customers are counted once, regardless of the number of times the customer participates in EVT services during 2000-2007.

(9) Costs include general management, budgeting, financia l management and EVT contract management. These costs are not broken out by market. This cost cate gory is included on Tables 2.1.2. and 2.1.3 only.

(10) Management and other management related costs di rectly associated with market implementation work.

(11) Costs related to program design, planning, program sc reening and other similar functions. Program Planning costs refer to data reported prior to 2003.

(12) Costs related to marketing, outreach, customer service and business development.

(13) Costs related to Information Syst ems development and maintenance. These costs are not broken out by market. This cost category is included on Tables 2.1.2. and 2.1.3 only.

(14) Subtotal of all operating costs detailed in th e categories above (9) + (10) + (11) + (12) + (13).

(15) Direct payments to participants to defra y the costs of specific efficiency measures.

(16) Incentives paid to manufacturers, wholesalers, builde rs, retailers or other non-customer stakeholders that do not defray the costs of specific efficiency measures.(17) Subtotal reflecting total incentive costs, (15) + (16).

(18) Costs related to conducting analyses, preparing the package of efficiency measures, contract management and post-project follow-up.

(19) Costs related to educational or othe r support services provided to entities other than individual participants, such

as trade allies, manufacturers, wholesalers, builders, and architects.

(20) Subtotal reflecting total techni cal assistance costs, (18) + (19).

(21) Total costs incurred by Efficiency Vermont. All costs are in nominal dollars, (14) + (17) + (20).

(22) Total costs incurred by participants and related to EVT or utility activities. This category includes the participant contribution to the capital costs of installed measures and to specific demand-si de-management (DSM) -related services, such as technical assistance or energy ratings.

(23) Total costs incurred by third parties (i.e., entities other than EVT, utilities and participants) and directly related to EVT or utility DSM activities. This category includes contri butions by third parties to the capital costs of installed measures and to specific DSM-related services, su ch as technical assistance or energy ratings.

(24) Total cost of services and in itiatives, (21) + (22) + (23).

(25) Annualized MWh savings at generatio n, net of all approved adjustment factors (e.g., free riders, spill over, line loss) for measures installed during the current reporting period.

(26) Lifetime estimated MWh savings for measures installed during the current reporting year, at generation and net of all approved adjustment factors. (Typically, this value is calc ulated by taking estimated a nnualized savings times the life
of the measure).

(27) Total Resource Benefits (TRB) savings for measures installed during the current reporting year. TRB includes gross electric benefits, fossil fuel savings and water savings. TRB is stated in 2006 dollars throughout the report. Whenever Efficiency Vermont works in collaboration with ot her providers of efficiency services, the same savings may be counted and reported by more than one organization. As a result, the total statewide savings may be less than the sum of all the organizations reporting savings.

(28) Estimated impact of measures at time of winter system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors.

(29) Estimated impact of measures at time of summer sy stem peak, at generation, ne t of adjustment factors.
