1.1.1 BUSINESS ENERGY SERVICES 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont helped 747 Vermont businesses reduce annual energy costs by a 

combined $4 million and reduce summer peak demand by 5,000 kilowatts per year. Over the 

lifetime of the energy-efficient measures installed this year, these businesses are expected to see 

a 57% return on their energy efficiency investments. The total lifetime economic value that 

Efficiency Vermont has achieved in the business sector since its inception in 2000 is more than 

$100 million. Lifetime economic value is defined as the present value of the electricity, fossil 

fuels and water that are saved over the lifetime of the efficiency measures. 

These benefits were achieved through a range of strategies implemented by Efficiency Vermont 

to address key barriers to greater energy efficiency. We continued our emphasis on developing 

the market infrastructure that provides energy-related products and services in Vermont. We 

strove to overcome informational barriers through education, training and informational 

materials. We also continued to provide technical and financial assistance for businesses 

engaging in cost-effective energy-efficient approaches to new construction, renovation, new 

equipment installations and/or equipment upgrades. 

PARTNERSHIPS IN THE BUSINESS MARKET 

To maximize cost-effective savings and to work toward resource acquisition and market 

transformation in the business sector, Efficiency Vermont continued to recognize the critical 

importance of working in partnership with the businesses and professionals who provide 

Vermont’s businesses with energy-efficient products and services. In 2004, Efficiency Vermont 

worked in continued partnership with the design professionals, trades people, and suppliers who 

serve the state’s businesses. By leveraging the resources of these partners, as well as their 

interactions with Vermont businesses, Efficiency Vermont was able to maximize ratepayers’ 

investments in energy efficiency. 

Of particular focus in 2004 were efforts to build and support these partnerships. We made an 

increased number of personal visits throughout the state, to assist heating, ventilation and air 

conditioning (HVAC), motor, electrical and refrigeration contractors and suppliers in 

incorporating energy efficiency into their sales and installation processes. Through these efforts, 

we provided technical materials about energy-efficient HVAC and lighting, energy savings 

calculation tools, and information about services available to these partners and their customers 

through Efficiency Vermont. We also created a section in our website 

(www.efficiencyvermont.com) where Vermonters can easily find contractors and suppliers 

knowledgeable in energy efficiency. 

The aim of these activities was to improve our partners’ ability to promote and deliver energy 

efficiency to their customers, thereby increasing demand, which further motivates contractors 

and suppliers to stock and install energy-efficient equipment. 

In 2004, in partnership with Banknorth Vermont, Chittenden Bank, Vermont Economic 

Development Authority, Vermont Community Loan Fund, First Niagara, Municipal Leasing 

Consultants and North Star Leasing Company, Efficiency Vermont launched a customized 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 1
 

approach to financing for existing businesses, designed to increase efficiency investments by 

improving investment cash flow. This effort combined financing with cash flow-based financial 

incentives to lower businesses’ initial cash outlay while improving projects’ rate of return. As 

part of this launch, we initiated a results-tracking effort that will enable us to determine if this 

approach can bring Vermont the same or greater energy savings while lessening the use of 

financial incentives. 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont staff produced and distributed project profiles that illustrate the 

costs and benefits of efficiency projects completed by selected Vermont businesses. These 

profiles were provided to the companies involved, as well as to projects’ design and trade 

professionals to aid in their discussions with prospective customers. We also used these profiles 

in our outreach to businesses throughout the state that may be considering similar projects in 

their own facilities. To further highlight committed businesses and their contractors who 

completed notable energy efficiency projects, we worked together to present facility tours. 

In addition to our direct contact with partners who influence key design and purchase decisions 

in the state’s businesses, we continued to work in partnership with economic development 

agencies, as well as business and trade associations committed to helping their constituencies 

benefit from energy efficiency. Some examples of these interactions include the following: 

• Vermont Ski Areas Association - training sessions on controls; 

• Green Mountain Water Environment Association - training sessions on variable 

frequency drives in wastewater treatment facilities; 

• Vermont Fuel Dealers Association - part of our effort to strengthen relationships with 

HVAC vendors and suppliers, and to encourage participation in Home Performance 

Contracting training sessions; 

• Champlain Valley chapter of American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers - training on optimizing HVAC rooftop units; 

• Vermont Superintendents Association - collaboration in outreach and services to K-12 

schools; 

• Vermont Apartment Owners’ Association - new partnership in 2004; introduced services 

to membership through newsletter articles and to leadership through personal interaction. 

To increase our effectiveness and further strengthen relationships with Vermont businesses, we 

began implementation of an account management approach. Through this approach, designated 

members of our staff establish a direct, ongoing and personal relationship with a targeted 

business, contractor, supplier and/or business association. Targeted businesses are those with 

high energy use and/or a high potential for ongoing energy savings. Because this approach 

enables Efficiency Vermont to better understand businesses’ plans, it is being used to garner 

projects early in the budget/design process when the incorporation of energy efficiency is most 

cost-effective for customers and can result in greater energy savings. 

In addition to its Vermont alliances, Efficiency Vermont maintained ongoing key regional and 

national partnerships that further Vermont’s progress in cost-effectively promoting energy 

efficiency. A few examples follow: 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 2
 

• As part of our participation in the national Consortium for Energy Efficiency, Efficiency 

Vermont played a key role in a working group which brought together lighting 

manufacturers and suppliers to develop standard specifications for the newest type of 

high efficiency lighting; the Super T8. We also worked with Northeast Energy Efficiency 

Partnerships (NEEP) in promoting this new technology. An approved Super T8 product 

list, which we developed, has been adopted to varying degrees by energy efficiency 

service agencies in the states of New York, Wisconsin and Oregon. Our efforts to help 

Vermont businesses incorporate this technology into their lighting designs is discussed in 

the Existing Business Facilities section of this report. 

• In cooperation with NEEP, Burlington Electric Department, and Vermont Gas Systems, 

we presented the state’s first Building Operator Certification training. By educating 

maintenance staff about energy-efficient approaches to electrical systems, lighting, 

heating, ventilation, cooling and indoor air quality, this training empowers businesses 

with the ability to acquire greater long-term energy savings. The course was enrolled to 

capacity - 32 students - including K-12 school, college, municipality, hospital and private 

company staff. 

• As part of our partnership with the New Buildings Institute (NBI), we created a 

Reference Design Manual and Benefits Guide for commercial new construction. These 

publications serve as resources to guide the design and construction of buildings that 

exceed energy conservation code requirements. We also worked with NBI to promote 

The Energy Benchmark for High Performance Buildings (E-Benchmark). By year end, 

we had distributed more than 1,000 copies of E-Benchmark to Vermont designers. 

Additionally, we developed and presented Vermont training sessions, in cooperation with 

NBI, on the above publications. 

• Staff attended a conference and training session on advanced buildings, presented by NBI 

and Energy Center of Wisconsin, to provide Efficiency Vermont with the capacity to 

deliver training to our Vermont building and design partners. 

• Efficiency Vermont continued to participate in planning with the National Multifamily 

Working Group to develop ENERGY STAR® standards applicable to the multifamily 

housing market. This effort strives to serve multifamily structures of over three stories – a 

market segment currently not addressed in Vermont or nationally. 

Efficiency Vermont continued to support and to actively participate in several regional and 

national market transformation initiatives coordinated by NEEP. These initiatives included: 

• Motor Up – promoting the benefits of National Electrical Manufacturers Association 

(NEMA) premium efficiency motors; 

• Cool Choice – encouraging and assisting the business market to install high efficiency air 

conditioning equipment; 

• Design Lights Consortium – promoting the benefits of high quality energy-efficient 

lighting design; 

• Northeast Regional Energy Codes Project - increasing energy efficiency through costeffective building energy code upgrades and improved energy code implementation 

throughout the region.

EXISTING BUSINESS FACILITIES 

Efficiency Vermont served 617 business operators who successfully upgraded their processes, 

replaced equipment or renovated their buildings in 2004. Vermont’s existing business facilities 

are diverse, ranging from dairy farms to ski areas, multifamily residences to large industrial 

buildings, “mom & pop” stores to schools. To meet the varied needs of this market, Efficiency 

Vermont continued to provide a range of both standardized prescriptive and customized services. 

• Prescriptive services offer businesses a simple, easy-to-use application process and 

standardized financial incentives to businesses engaging in qualifying equipment 

upgrades. We work closely with contractors and suppliers to enable them to help their 

clients identify, install and receive rebates for qualifying energy-efficient equipment. In 

2004, 44% of businesses using prescriptive services were small businesses with electric 

consumption of 40,000 or fewer kilowatt hours per year. 

• Customized services include detailed technical analysis and partnering with third parties 

to procure technical design assistance as well as cash flow analysis with financing 

options to help meet the unique investment criteria of each business. A customized 

approach supports greater comprehensiveness of treatment and provides technical 

assistance services tailored to individual customer needs and opportunities. For custom 

projects, individual cash-flow analyses are presented, financing options may be used and 

financial incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis. 

In 2004, to better ensure the availability of energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air 

conditioning (HVAC) equipment, Efficiency Vermont conducted a drive to strengthen 

relationships with HVAC contractors and suppliers. Our efforts in this market sector resulted in 

an increase in installations of high efficiency HVAC equipment in Vermont, from 37 participants 

in 2003 to 152 in 2004. This drive included: 

• Introduction and promotion of rebates for ENERGY STAR and Cool Choice qualified 

central air conditioning. Our statewide promotion of this offer reached more than 200 

contractors and suppliers who serve Vermont’s homes and businesses; 

• Development of an energy savings calculation tool and technical materials which we 

distributed to 165 Vermont contractors and suppliers; 

• A sales contest and sales reward initiative to stimulate contractor promotion of qualified 

energy-efficient cooling equipment; 

• Improvement of the contractor portion of our website to help Vermonters find qualified 

HVAC contractors; 

• Partnership with the Champlain Valley chapter of the American Society of Heating, 

Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to host an HVAC trade show 

which attracted 25 exhibitors and more than 140 attendees. 

Efficiency Vermont also conducted a campaign to promote a new type of high performance T8 

fluorescent lighting system, commonly called “Super T8”. We eliminated incentives for 

standard-grade T8 lighting systems. Due to the complexity and cost of this new technology, 

which requires matching of lamps and ballasts, market penetration throughout the country has 

been limited. To help Vermont’s businesses overcome the barriers to adopting this new 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 4
 

technology, Efficiency Vermont needed to both create market demand for these new products 

and to work with the supply infrastructure to make them readily available. We engaged in the 

following actions to promote the technology to key areas of the market: 

• We worked with the Consortium for Energy Efficiency to develop a simplified 

specification for Super T8 lighting that makes the technology more accessible to small 

businesses – a key market sector that seldom uses skilled lighting designers; 

• We conducted direct outreach to both small and large businesses, to create demand in the 

market; 

• Efficiency Vermont worked with manufacturers and Vermont electrical suppliers to 

encourage stocking of light fixtures equipped with Super T8s. This effort is designed to 

counteract special order delays that have limited the adoption of the technology 

throughout the country; 

• We distributed information packages to more than 400 Vermont electrical contractors and 

suppliers and provided a web-based lighting savings calculation tool that is now regularly 

used by several Vermont suppliers to promote energy-efficient lighting to their 

customers; 

• Efficiency Vermont led a Super T8 educational outreach effort that included 12 

workshops with contractors and suppliers as well as one-on-one meetings with key 

players, including manufacturers and lighting designers. 

BUSINESS NEW CONSTRUCTION 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont helped 130 Vermont businesses reduce the energy demands of new 

buildings through energy-efficient design, construction and equipment. In addition, we worked 

with 19 businesses whose buildings are slated for completion beyond 2004. Of the projects 

completed this year, eight were comprehensive projects; an increase of four from 2003. 

Comprehensive projects are those that maximize savings of energy and energy costs by 

incorporating energy-efficient approaches to multiple building systems and the building shell 

early in the design process. 

2004 saw a 15% increase in annualized energy savings per participant for new construction 

projects, from 67.9 MWh in 2003 to 78.1 MWh in 2004. 

The services that we continued to provide to the business new construction market in 2004 

included: 

• Customized comprehensive design assistance to support the vision of designers and 

owners while integrating optimal energy-efficient approaches; 

• Review of architectural and engineering plans and contractor designs coupled with 

consultation on energy efficiency opportunities; 

• Energy analysis of buildings and measures; 

• Financial incentives for cost-effective energy-efficient approaches; 

• Outreach to businesses with new construction projects listed weekly on Works in 

Progress and in the Act 250 process; 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 5
 

• Informational resources that aid design professionals and design-build contractors in their 

hands-on work and that communicate the benefits of high performance design concepts to 

their prospective and current customers. 

Efficiency Vermont conducted the above services with an aim not only to lower energy use, 

strengthen business bottom lines and provide healthier, lasting buildings, but also to transform 

the market by: 

• Increasing the incorporation of high efficiency methods as baseline for design; 

• Motivating suppliers to stock high efficiency products; 

• Supporting an increasingly educated and motivated construction community that 

recognizes and effectively markets the benefits of high performance energy-efficient 

approaches. 

A key reason for our continued effectiveness in this market has been the commitment of 

architects, engineers and builders who design and construct Vermont’s commercial buildings. 

Our ongoing outreach and support for these professionals and trades people are cornerstones of 

our efforts in this market. Due to our work together, Vermonters can turn to an increasingly 

knowledgeable statewide network of companies and individuals who are creating some of the 

country’s finest high performance commercial structures. In 2004, we were privileged to 

continue supporting these designers and contractors through the following activities: 

• With the Vermont chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), we created the 

Vermont High Performance Design Guide. We distributed more than 3,000 copies of the 

guide to Vermont architects and conducted presentations to design firms. Interest in this 

guide also came from utilities, design firms and energy efficiency organizations outside 

of Vermont that have since begun incorporating the guide’s approaches into their work. 

• To present E-Benchmark, Design Guide and Efficiency Vermont’s services to designers, 

we created and distributed informational flyers. 

• We were a sponsor of a building tour of NRG Systems’ award-winning new high 

efficiency facility. Efficiency Vermont’s involvement in the NRG Systems project was 

highlighted, as were the benefits of high performance design and construction. 

• Our staff held regular meetings with leaders of the Vermont chapter of AIA. 

• We attended monthly meetings of the Champlain Valley chapter of ASHRAE. 

• Our staff attended the annual trade show and annual meeting of the Vermont chapter of 

Construction Specifications Institute. 

• We gathered a focus group of architects and building owners to solicit input about the 

development of The High Performance Building Owner’s Guide. At year-end, we were 

on track for 2005 completion of this guide, which we are creating as a resource for 

designers seeking to educate their clients about high performance buildings and their 

benefits. 

• We simplified our comprehensive design services by refining the best elements of a 

former three-track approach and creating a single, easily understood design service with 

the flexibility to be tailored to specific project needs. By making processes and 

paperwork easier to use, we found that customers were more comfortable and more 

motivated to take advantage of our services. 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 6
 

In addition, Efficiency Vermont engaged in the following efforts to promote energy efficiency in 

the design and construction of new business facilities: 

• With the Vermont Department of Public Service, we established the next generation of 

agreed upon new construction baselines for Act 250 projects to equal the 2001 

Commercial Guidelines. This baseline took effect January 1, 2004. 

• Efficiency Vermont staff joined the Vermont Department of Public Service, Burlington 

Electric Department, Vermont Gas Systems and other stakeholders to begin the process 

of developing a revision to the 2001 Vermont commercial energy building guidelines. 

The new guidelines will be based on the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code 

(IECC) and ASHRAE 90.1-2004. This working group coordinates with the International 

Code Council in development of a Vermont version of the 2004 IECC. 

• In a drive to raise the baseline for design/build specifications for efficiency, we 

implemented three pilot projects in which we engaged designers/builders early in the 

design process and revised boilerplate specifications to include high efficiency. Two of 

the projects were engaged in our comprehensive design process and one is applying for 

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for high 

performance buildings. We tracked the development and outcomes of the pilots as part of 

a process to determine a strategy to apply to future work with designers/builders. 

• To improve our service delivery we trained staff to teach others to use the E-Benchmark 

and we presented staff with guidelines on delivering comprehensive design projects. 

• To attain greater consistency and to reduce the amount of staff resources utilized for new 

construction services while maintaining quality standards, we streamlined internal 

processes to enable more effective delivery of services and developed a process to 

calculate incentives for lighting power density reduction. 

TARGETED MARKETS 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont continued to target specific market areas that have unique 

opportunities for reducing energy use and energy costs. As these targeted market initiatives 

include activities within existing and new business facilities, the project work that resulted from 

these efforts is integrated into the existing and new facility work described above. The following 

discussion highlights some of Efficiency Vermont’s targeted activities undertaken in 2004. 

Dairy Farms 

Efficiency Vermont worked with 71 dairy farmers who will save an estimated $80,000 in annual 

energy costs as a result of the energy-efficiency upgrades completed in 2004. Efficiency 

Vermont identified two technologies – water cooled milk chillers and T-5 high-output lighting - 

with potential for positive impact on the bottom lines for Vermont dairy farms. We implemented 

a pilot installation for each system. Our ongoing monitoring of these pilots will enable us to 

determine if performance is sufficient to warrant promotion of the technologies to farmers, 

equipment suppliers and contractors. Also in 2004, we implemented an improved customer 

outreach effort through a single, streamlined brochure, and new displays for the Efficiency 

Vermont dairy farm trade show booth.

Multifamily Housing 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont reduced annual energy costs by a total of $2.2 million in 1,689 

multifamily housing units. 151 new construction multifamily housing units in Vermont received 

5-star ENERGY STAR ratings. This was a result of ongoing partnerships between Efficiency 

Vermont and housing developers, working together to optimize energy efficiency in the 

construction and renovation of multifamily affordable and market-rate housing. We leveraged 

our positive working relationships with these developers to promote implementation of advanced 

technologies to improve building performance. 

We continued to successfully encourage the use of spray foams for strategic air sealing and 

insulation. We also monitored a grey water heat recovery project taking place in this market and 

began to see increased acceptance of Super T8 lighting. 

In recognition of our efforts in this market in partnership with Vermont Gas Systems (VGS) and 

the Burlington Electric Department (BED), the American Council for an Energy-Efficient 

Economy awarded Efficiency Vermont, VGS and BED a certificate of recognition for serving as 

a model of best practices for energy efficiency programs across the nation, for service to 

Vermont’s multifamily low-income market. 

Schools 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont worked with 51 Vermont K-12 schools to reduce annual energy 

costs by $1.2 million. We worked closely with our ongoing partner - the School Energy 

Management Program - to provide a more effective response to requests for facility walkthroughs. In cooperation with the Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Superintendents 

Association and the Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust, we gathered and organized data 

from the statewide school energy survey (launched in 2003 through this cooperative team). This 

data is being used to determine current energy use and to help educate school staff about areas of 

prospective improvement. 

In addition to direct contact with school personnel, Efficiency Vermont coordinated with the 

Vermont Energy Education Program (VEEP) to obtain leads on energy efficiency opportunities 

in school facilities and to encourage student participation in energy efficiency improvements in 

their own schools. Students from St. Johnsbury Academy, for example, worked with VEEP and 

Efficiency Vermont staff to research viable upgrades, replace all of the facility’s exit lights with 

efficient models and to investigate daylighting usage in a cafeteria and science laboratory. 

We continued outreach to market decision makers through attendance at conferences and annual 

meetings of school boards, superintendents and custodians. We leveraged internal resources by 

conducting a donation campaign at Efficiency Vermont’s 2004 Better Building By Design 

Conference, through which the region’s building design and construction trades people 

contributed sufficient funds to provide three energy-saving Vending Misers to Vermont’s K-12 

schools.

Ski Areas 

This year, we worked closely with nine ski areas to reduce their energy costs by a total of 

$100,000 per year. Ski areas present significant opportunities for energy savings in commercial, 

residential and industrial applications. Our continuing partnerships with ski resort operators and 

with the Vermont Ski Areas Association (VSAA) have been vital to our ability to support this 

key Vermont industry’s business objectives while helping to fulfill resorts’ commitment to 

energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. 

Efficiency Vermont delivered a technical training seminar on snowmaking controls to more than 

30 mountain operators as part of our partnership with VSAA. We continued to place great 

emphasis on maintaining our strong working relationship with VSAA which, in turn, continued 

to advocate to its member ski areas about the compelling reasons to evaluate their energy use and 

to implement cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. 

We developed and distributed a technical brief for ski areas, which discussed the industry’s 

major energy saving opportunities. We also provided operators with a detailed Technical 

Assessment Report with comprehensive technical information on snow making. Internally, we 

strengthened our ability to serve this market through two new approaches. First, we selected this 

market for our Enhanced Customer Service pilot, entailing the assignment of one of our staff as a 

single point of contact for each ski resort. Early results were positive; the effort is enabling us to 

better anticipate and meet individual ski areas’ needs. Secondly, we created a snow making 

energy savings tool to enable our staff to provide customers with greater consistency in savings 

projections. 

State Buildings 

Our staff worked on energy efficiency projects in 20 state buildings in 2004, which are expected 

to lower annual energy costs by $175,000. As part of our ongoing efforts to increase energy 

efficiency in new construction, renovation and equipment replacement in all state buildings, 

Efficiency Vermont further increased its engagement with Vermont Buildings and General 

Services (BGS). We engaged with BGS engineering teams, facilities management, district 

facility managers and procurement staff, providing technical information and assistance on both 

a collective and individual basis. 

In 2004, as a result of these efforts and due to our ongoing drive to build relationships with our 

partners in BGS, the state engineering group declared that Efficiency Vermont will be a part of 

every new construction and renovation project, and that high performance guidelines will be 

used in all projects, in support of the state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals. 

Water & Wastewater Facilities 

Efficiency Vermont helped water and wastewater facilities complete 19 projects this year that, 

together, reduce annual energy costs by $174,000. In 2004, we increased the number of annual 

water and wastewater projects completed by providing more site visits, metering and analysis, 

more in-depth technical assistance, as well as ongoing training, pilot projects and leveraging of 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 9
 

the resources and contacts of Vermont trade associations serving this market. As in the past, we 

hosted booths at the annual trade shows of the Northeast Rural Water Association (NeRWA) and 

of the Green Mountain Water Environment Association. 

To reduce the energy use and water waste resulting from water leaks, we assisted NeRWA in the 

purchase of leak detection equipment for their members to use throughout the state. Also in 

coordination with NeRWA this year, we were pleased to transition out of our ongoing leadership 

role in operator training on the use and benefits of variable frequency drives and took a 

supporting role with NeRWA at the lead. 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont and the Village of Essex Junction Wastewater Treatment Facility 

were honored with a 2003 Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence and 

Pollution Prevention. This award was in recognition of the pioneering work of Efficiency 

Vermont and the Village of Essex Junction for installing the region’s first methane co-generation 

operation in a small treatment facility. 

CUSTOMER CREDIT 

Efficiency Vermont implemented a net pay option for the Customer Credit service in 2004. This 

approach enables a participant to retain a percentage of their Energy Efficiency Charge (EEC) 

rather than paying the EEC on a monthly basis and requesting payment of EEC funds after 

project completion. This makes funds available up-front for energy efficiency upgrades, 

providing greater flexibility and the ability to pursue projects in a more timely fashion. 

In 2004, we engaged in discussions with the participant regarding more comprehensive projects 

than those typical for the participant in the past as well as discussions about new technologies 

that have implications for broad use. By year end, a new technology pilot was underway.

1.1.2. RESIDENTIAL ENERGY SERVICES 

Efficiency Vermont’s service to the state’s residential market in 2004 enabled 39,000 Vermont 

households to save 23,000 MWh of annual electricity use, reduce summer peak demand by 2,800 

MW per year, and achieve savings of $14 million in lifetime economic value. 

Our efforts continued to acquire cost-effective energy savings and to pursue the transformation 

of residential markets. We continued to engage in a range of informational, direct service and 

financial incentive strategies to lower the barriers to the use of energy-efficient lighting, 

appliances, heating and cooling, both in new and existing homes. Critical to the success of these 

efforts have been our ongoing partnerships with retailers and manufacturers of energy-efficient 

products and with the state’s home construction and renovation design professionals and trades 

people. We also continued to work in coordination with regional and national energy efficiency 

organizations and initiatives, to leverage their resources in efforts to increase awareness of 

energy-saving opportunities and to increase incorporation of energy-efficient approaches in 

Vermont homes. 

This year, to increase our ability to serve this market, we made improvements to key aspects of 

our internal processes, including: 

• Upgrading of our energy rating software and streamlining of the documentation required 

by the customer for plan reviews. These improvements increased our production 

capacity, allowing us to conduct more ratings for new homes without increasing staffing 

levels; 

• Development of a single Existing Homes intake form, to establish greater consistency 

and efficiency in our responses to customers seeking services; 

• Introduction of streamlined inspections, which reduced the number of field visits needed 

to maintain high quality service in existing homes. 

RETAIL EFFICIENT PRODUCTS 

Throughout 2004, Efficiency Vermont continued to promote ENERGY STAR qualified products 

and to strengthen relationships with retailers, wholesale vendors and manufacturers of energyefficient products. While promoting all ENERGY STAR products, we provided financial 

incentives for ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs, lighting fixtures, 

ceiling fans with lights, clothes washers, room air conditioners, freezers and refrigerators. 

This year, we expanded our efforts in this market to include: 

• A rebate for ENERGY STAR qualified freezers. 

• Convenient new lighting rebate coupons to enable customers to use only one coupon 

when buying multiple products, rather than requiring buyers to fill out a coupon for each 

product bought. This also reduced the number of coupons that retailers needed to process 

and lowered Efficiency Vermont’s costs for processing coupon data. 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 11
 

• Pilot buy-down offers to retailers and manufacturers of ENERGY STAR qualified 

lighting products. Through buy-downs, we were able to lower the retail price of products 

directly, rather than through rebates. During 2004, approximately 10% of Efficiency 

Vermont’s lighting product incentives were used in this buy-down mechanism. This 

effort not only motivated new or increased participation among lighting retailers, but it 

also enabled customers to buy bulbs through non-traditional retail outlets, such as drug 

stores and grocery stores, and through stores previously unable or unwilling to process 

rebate coupons. 

• Commitment to a national initiative to encourage computer manufacturers to use energyefficient power supplies in personal computers and servers. 

We continued to focus our work in this market on the network of over 200 retailers who partner 

with us to sell energy-efficient lighting and appliances to Vermonters. Our staff visited each of 

them at least once a month, providing support and assistance with point-of-purchase promotional 

materials, marketing, updated technical information on products and sales training for staff. 

In addition, we worked with our partners to organize and run innovative events that increased 

awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency, motivated household participation, and built 

market infrastructure by increasing the number of energy-efficient products available through 

local retailers. These events included 33 promotional lighting events at retail stores, home shows 

and festivals with local retail partners, and a compact fluorescent lighting fundraiser held at a 

town meeting day.

Efficiency Vermont’s efforts with retailers resulted in Vermont having leading market shares for 

sales of ENERGY STAR qualified major appliances. Based on national sales data for the first 

three quarters of 2004, Vermont was third in the nation in the percentage of ENERGY STAR 

qualified refrigerators sold, second for the sale of ENERGY STAR qualified room air 

conditioners and first in the nation for sales of ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers. 

Perhaps most notable among Efficiency Vermont’s 2004 retail-based efforts was the launch of 

the nation’s first ENERGY STAR retail centers. Efficiency Vermont partnered with a hardware 

store in each of three towns – Pick & Shovel in Newport, Fogg’s Ace Hardware in Norwich, and 

H. Greenberg & Son in Bennington – to create designated spaces on sales floors for the display 

of each store’s full range of ENERGY STAR qualified products. This was a departure from the 

placement of ENERGY STAR qualified products in departments throughout a store. We 

developed and provided demonstrations on products and energy use, displays, educational 

materials and worked to promote and bring media attention to the launches. We also coordinated 

the openings of each center with the activities of the Vermont Energy Education Program in the 

schools local to each center. By providing this convenient way for Vermonters to find energyefficient products, the effort raised awareness of the range of available products and motivated 

increased purchases. The stores report that they have increased their stocks of ENERGY STAR 

qualified products by an average of 35%. 

Also notable in 2004, was our partnership with Middlebury College, the Middlebury Area Global 

Warming Task Force, the local Aubuchon Hardware and Kinney Drugs to present “Middlebury 

72 Hours of Light”. The effort aimed to motivate local households to use energy-efficient 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 12
 

lighting by increasing customers’ awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency and providing 

incentives to purchase ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs and fixtures. 

This community-wide effort gave bulbs to 880 households which in turn purchased an additional 

6,500 bulbs and fixtures. Energy savings from the effort are estimated at more than 1,800,000 

kWh over the lifecycle of the bulbs and fixtures. 

As part of our ongoing involvement in regional activities that strengthen our ability to serve this 

market, we participated as an active member of the Appliance and Lighting Working Group 

(ALWG); an initiative of Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships. As a member, we leveraged 

regional resources, including marketing campaigns promoting the sale and use of ENERGY 

STAR qualified lighting and appliances. Due to our association with ALWG, we are able to 

engage in the development of regional and national initiatives’ marketing materials to be used in 

Vermont, to support product quality testing such as PEARL (Program for the Evaluation and 

Assessment of Residential Lighting) and to solicit participation by manufacturers and retailers in 

region-wide promotions. 

Efficiency Vermont’s ongoing work in this market was recognized by a Vermont Governor’s 

Award for Environmental Excellence and Pollution Prevention. This honor was granted for our 

work (in 2003) in partnership with the Village of Poultney, the local Poultney Williams True 

Value Hardware store and Green Mountain College to encourage and enable over 96% of local 

households to upgrade one light bulb per home to an energy-efficient compact fluorescent light. 

Our statewide media campaign coordinated with this event also brought information to 

Vermonters about their ability to make a positive difference by changing one light in their 

homes. 

EXISTING HOMES 

Efficiency Vermont’s 2004 efforts in the existing homes market continued to focus on the 

acquisition of cost-effective energy savings and to support market transformation. We continued 

to offer services to all Vermont households, with targeted activities serving low-income single 

family homes and households with high electric usage. Efficiency Vermont’s ongoing 

interactions with and support for retailers, contractors and renovators continued to give Vermont 

households access to an increasingly knowledgeable network of trades people and professionals 

who provide products, guidance and services that make Vermont homes more energy-efficient. 

In service to low-income single family homes, Efficiency Vermont continued to work in 

partnership with the five agencies that deliver the statewide Weatherization Assistance Program. 

Services from this partnership included installation of water conservation products and 

ENERGY STAR qualified lighting, replacement of inefficient refrigerators with ENERGY 

STAR qualified models, waterbed insulation pads or mattress replacements, and replacement of 

electric hot water heaters and electric space heating systems with units using less costly fossil 

fuels. 

Efficiency Vermont continued to respond to inquiries from customers with high electric usage in 

their homes and to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of opportunities to reduce the energy costs of 

these homes. We offered customers a range of services, including technical assistance, energy 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 13
 

saving tips, energy audits with direct installation of efficient lighting and water conservation 

devices, and financial incentives for undertaking cost-effective efficiency improvements to 

water- and space-heating equipment, refrigerators, thermal building shell (air leakage and 

insulation) and other custom measures. 

New in 2004 were incentives for the installation of furnaces with high efficiency fan motors and 

for the installation of ENERGY STAR qualified central air conditioning equipment. In addition 

to installation incentives, we provided information and incentives to suppliers and contractors 

who sell and install this equipment to help them inform their customers of the benefits of these 

approaches. 

Also new in 2004 was the development, for implementation in 2005, of a prescriptive process for 

evaluating opportunities for domestic water heater conversions from electricity to less costly 

power sources. 

2004 also marked the implementation of our Home Performance with ENERGY STAR service. 

It is designed to build a market-based approach to providing comprehensive, home performance 

services to the existing homes market. Key to this service is the development of an infrastructure 

of certified, trained contractors that can provide the service. Our developmental activities 

included: 

• Establishment of a team of Efficiency Vermont staff trained as Building Performance 

Institute (BPI) certified technicians. Members of this team were also trained as mentors, 

each providing individual assistance to an assigned candidate for BPI certification; 

• Presentation of five week-long BPI technical training sessions to a total of 27 individuals 

from 20 contracting firms. By year end, one contractor had received BPI certification, 

while 16 others were working to complete training in 2005; 

• Presentation of a single-day sales and marketing training session to 19 attendees, 

including remodelers, plumbers, and gas utility, insulation, air sealing and energy 

organization staff; 

• Institution of contractor incentives for training, certification, diagnostic equipment and 

for completing specified energy-efficient measures; 

• Forging a pilot partnership with a heating oil company and with the state’s electric 

cooperatives to promote Home Performance with ENERGY STAR to targeted segments 

of the market; 

• Conducting outreach to the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association and weatherization 

agencies in an effort to promote training to their contracting members and associates; 

• Creation and distribution of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR promotional 

materials to 1,704 households in initial targeted counties of the state; 

• Creating capacity to provide home performance diagnostic services across the state 

through the development of field analysis tools and the purchase of diagnostic equipment. 

In addition, Efficiency Vermont identified measures eligible for inclusion in Home Performance 

with ENERGY STAR services. We established incentives for certified contractors who complete 

these measures according to BPI standards and we established an agreement with Vermont 

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 14
 

Development Credit Union (now known as Opportunities Credit Union) to provide reduced rate 

financing for recommended measures. 

Our customer service staff engaged in more than 13,000 phone and e-mail interactions with 

Vermonters throughout the state seeking information about household energy use reduction. We 

also continued to communicate through www.efficiencyvermont.com. Through these 

communications, and through a diverse range of information, self-help tools and lists of local 

retailers, contractors and renovators available on our website, we provided Vermonters with 

ongoing guidance on lowering household energy usage. 

To empower households with the ability to better understand and control their energy use, we 

continued to distribute do-it-yourself energy audit compact discs and loaned meters that enabled 

people to measure individual appliance and equipment usage. We also placed energy calculators 

on www.efficiencyvermont.com, and mailed out energy checklists to enable households to 

conduct their own home energy use assessments. We developed brochures that show the 

electricity used by household appliances and a guide to lowering hot water heating costs. We 

distributed these brochures directly to Vermonters with high use concerns as well as to utilities, 

for their use in sharing energy efficiency information with their customers. 

RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION 

In 2004, Efficiency Vermont continued to work with builders and buyers of new homes to 

encourage the incorporation of approaches that improve building performance and energy 

efficiency. We provided technical assistance, plan reviews, on-site inspections, performance 

testing, energy ratings and ENERGY STAR labeling for qualified homes. Efficiency Vermont 

integrated energy code and code support into our services to this market and helped sustain code 

and beyond-code practices in outreach to builders through: 

• Updating our services to be consistent with the revised Vermont state energy code to take 

effect January 1, 2005; 

• Inclusion of revised code handbooks and code information in all enrollment packages; 

• Code announcements in Efficiency Vermont’s “Builder News” newsletter and on 

www.efficiencyvermont.com; 

• Downloadable code update handbooks via the Efficiency Vermont website. 

In 2004, Vermont was among the top five states for total market share of ENERGY STAR 

qualified single family and multifamily homes. This year saw a 40% increase over 2003 for 

single family housing to become ENERGY STAR qualified. We also increased enrollment of 

small volume builders in our ENERGY STAR services by 18% over the previous year. 

To increase the energy savings potential for each completed home, we installed a greater number 

of compact fluorescent bulbs, began offering financial incentives for the installation of high 

efficiency furnace fans and conducted a campaign to promote this technology to builders, 

architects, engineers and HVAC contractors. Initial results revealed that two large building 

companies began offering furnaces with high efficiency fans to all of their new customers.

Staff participated in Northeast Home Energy Rating System Alliance meetings, through which 

we were able to make aspects of our work in this market consistent with regional efforts, share in 

training and certification of energy raters and participate in discussions about standards for 

energy-efficient home construction. 

Our efforts in this market, in partnership with Vermont Gas Systems, were recognized by the 

American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy with a certificate of recognition for serving 

as a model of best practices for energy efficiency programs across the nation.

1.1.3. EFFICIENCY VERMONT-WIDE ACTIVITIES 

In addition to direct services to specific markets, Efficiency Vermont conducted activities that 

served multiple markets. 

• Database system upgrades – This year, we strengthened our ability to efficiently and 

effectively serve all markets by making extensive improvements to our contact 

management database and data tracking system to better assure consistent recording of 

customer contacts and interactions. This effort now enables our staff to more easily 

maintain key information about our customers’ individual needs, resulting in a greater 

ability to provide more personalized service. 

• Efficiency Vermont’s Better Buildings By Design Conference – This is an annual

www.efficiencyvermont.com continued to promote a wide range of knowledgeable 

Vermont providers of energy-efficient goods and services by making their contact 

information available to Vermonters seeking resources to help make upgrades to their 

homes and businesses. In 2004, we expanded this resource to include residential lighting 

and appliance retailers, home energy auditors, builders of ENERGY STAR qualified 

homes and residential insulation/air sealing contractors. We also expanded our listings for 

companies serving business markets to include architects, commissioning agents, 

electrical contractors, electrical engineers, HVAC suppliers, lighting designers and 

lighting suppliers. Overall, www.efficiencyvermont.com was visited more than 70,000 

times in 2004. 

• Media – In 2004, we received increased media coverage highlighting many of the 

successful efforts of businesses, households, and communities throughout the state to 

reduce energy use through energy efficiency. This coverage not only gave well-deserved 

exposure to businesses, households and partners with whom we’ve worked, but also 

increased awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency and of Efficiency Vermont 

services available to Vermonters. In 2004, Efficiency Vermont was featured in 139 

stories in Vermont print media, four stories on the radio and three on television. Our 

energy efficiency advice column, “Ask Rachael,” was placed in Vermont community 

papers a total of 35 times. 

Efficiency Vermont played an active role in the efforts of the following regional and national 

initiatives that have an impact on both Vermont’s residential and business markets: 

• Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) – Our participation in a range of NEEP 

initiatives provided us with opportunities to build partnerships with other energy

Efficiency Vermont 2004 Annual Report and Annual Energy Savings Claim 64
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 criteria. The program enables customers with the 

capability and resources to identify, analyze, and undertake efficiency projects and selfimplement energy efficiency measures with financial assistance from Efficiency Vermont 

(EVT). CCP customers can apply for financial incentives for any retrofit or marketdriven project that saves electrical energy and passes the Vermont societal costeffectiveness 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 can receive cash incentives capped at 70% of 

their projected two-year contribution to the statewide energy efficiency fund at any time. 

Customers can draw on contributions from the 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 projects, 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 efficiency by participation in the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Wise program, or currently active 

similar program as determined by the PSB; and 

• Have ISO 14001 certification.

Investment Corporation's (VEIC) accounting system, MAS90. “Participant Incentives Paid” and 

“EVT Incentives” on all other tables are based on data entered in EVT’s FastTrack tracking system 

and include the operating fee cited above. 

6 - “Annualized MWh Savings (adjusted for measure life)”, “Winter Coincident Peak kW Savings 

(adjusted for measure life)” and “Summer Coincident Peak kW Savings (adjusted for measure 

life)” on Tables 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. are provided for informational purposes only. This data includes 

savings for measures that have not yet expired during the reporting period and excludes savings for 

measures that have reached the end of their specified lifetime. 

7 - Program Planning costs have been rolled into “Services and Initiatives” for 2003-2005. For 

2000-2002, Program Planning costs were reported as a separate line item. In Table 2.1.2. and 

Table 2.1.3, Program Planning costs in the column named “Cumulative starting 3/1/00” refer to 

data reported prior to 2003. 

8 – Multifamily costs and savings are reported under “Current Year 2004” and “Cumulative 

starting 1/1/03” on Tables 2.1.8., 3.1.1., 3.1.6. (Business tables) and under “Prior Year” on Tables 

2.1.12, 3.1.12. (Residential tables) because multifamily data is reported in the Residential Energy 

Services sector for Years 2000-2002 and in Business Energy Services for Years 2003-2005. See 

Section 4.2.2. for Re-Mapping of Programs to Market Services and Initiatives. 

9 – Data in the column “Cumulative starting 3/1/00” on tables 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. include information 

from the 2000-2002 period when EVT reported data under “Core Programs”. Since 2000-2002 

Core Program data does not always fall into the same categories as 2003-2005 Market Services and 

Initiatives, an effort has been made to show how data is reported across the two time periods.

3.1.24., 5.1.3., 5.1.19., 5.1.33. reflect combined customer data for Citizens Utilities (CUC) and 

Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC). As of April 6, 2004, CUC and VEC merged operations. 

Starting August 15, 2004, all new projects in former CUC territory are accounted for as VEC 

projects under VEC utility territory. CUC projects initiated prior to August 15, 2004 will be 

reported as CUC projects until their completion or termination in 2004. Projects that do not 

complete by 12/31/04 will be converted to VEC projects for 2005 reporting.

Footnotes for the report table templates: 

(1) Activity for the prior reporting year. Multifamily costs and savings are reported in Residential Energy Services for 

2000-2002 and in Business Energy Services in 2003-2005. See Section 4.2.4. RE-MAPPING of PROGRAMS TO 

MARKET SERVICES AND INITIATIVES. 

(2) Activity for the current reporting year. For savings, the figure reported is estimated savings for measures actually 

implemented for the current report period. Savings are reported in MWh, at generation and net of all approved 

adjustment factors, except as otherwise noted. 

(3) Projected costs for Year 2004 are estimates only and provided for informational purposes. The EVT contract is 

based on three-year cumulative budgets and savings goals. 

(4) Data reported for the contract period starting January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. 

(5) Data reported for the contract period starting March 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. 

(6) Number of customers with installed measures. For the period 2000-2002, “# participants with installations” is 

counted by summing unique utility premises for all but multifamily projects. For multifamily projects, “# participants 

with installations” is counted by summing unique dwelling units. For data reported in the 2003-2005 contract period, 

“# participants with installations” is counted by summing unique project sites for all projects. Under “Cumulative 

starting 1/1/03”, customers are counted once, regardless of the number of times this customer participates in EVT 

services during 2003-2005. Under “Cumulative starting 3/1/00”, a customer will be counted twice if that customer has 

received EVT services during 2000-2002 and again in 2003-2005. 

(7) Number of customers with custom analysis during the current report period. This reflects the number of customers 

who initiated a new custom project during the reporting period 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. 

(9) Costs include general management, budgeting, financial management and EVT contract management. These costs 

are not broken out by market. This cost category is included on Tables 2.1.2. and 2.1.3 only. 

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

(11) Costs related to program design, planning, program screening 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 Systems 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.

(21) Total costs incurred by Efficiency Vermont. All costs 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-side-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 contributions by third parties to the capital costs of installed 

measures and to specific DSM-related services, such as technical assistance or energy ratings. 

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

(25) Annualized MWh savings at generation, 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 calculated by taking estimated annualized 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. It is stated in 2003 dollars throughout the entire report. 

Prior year data have been adjusted for 2003 dollars by escalating the pre-2003 TRB by 6.8% discount rate for 3 years 

and inflating TRB by 7.62% (% CPI change from July 2000 - July 2003) to convert to 2003 dollars.

4.2.4. RE-MAPPING of PROGRAMS TO MARKET SERVICES AND INITIATIVES 

As a result of the redesign of EVT’s service offerings in 2003-2005, EVT Core Programs have 

been reorganized into EVT Core Market Services and Initiatives. The reasons for this 

reorganization from “Programs” to “Services and Initiatives”, as stated in the Contract, are the 

following: to align EVT’s activities more closely with customer’s needs, to establish a clearer 

segmentation of the markets in order to provide improved service delivery, for enhanced reporting 

and market assessment, to improve coordination between current program offerings and to better 

align EVT’s work with its internal management structure. 

Following is a diagram of the 2000-2002 Core Programs and their relationship to the 2003-2005 

Core Market Services and Initiatives. Core Programs under 2000-2002 and Core Market Services 

and Initiatives under 2003-2005 are in bold font. Tracks are in regular font.
