## • CUAC Equipment Stock Accounting : Revisions to ensure that
equipment stock under the base case equals equipment stock

under the standards cases

- Revision drops National Energy Savings approximately 10%.



## • Building Efficiency Trend : Results provided previously did not
account for a more efficient building stock over time. Efficiency
trend implemented from Annual Energy Outlook.

- Revision drops National Energy Savings approximately 10%.
