EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

Vermont, like the rest of the nation, faced a significant economic slowdown in 2009. The 

January 2010 revenue forecast and economic update for the Vermont Emergency Board 

and Joint Fiscal Committee noted that “the current recession in Vermont is likely to be 

among the worst on record.” 

This fiscal environment had an impact on the work of Efficiency Vermont in both the 

residential and business sectors. New building construction slowed significantly 

(residential housing completions were down 14% compared to 2008 levels), and with 

unemployment in the state peaking at 7.4% at midyear, many consumers chose to defer 

cost-effective investments, no matter how attractive the long-term economic benefits 

might be. Efficiency Vermont nonetheless delivered significant economic and energy 

savings benefits to Vermont homes and businesses in 2009. In the current economic 

climate, these savings are more valuable than ever for Vermonters. 

High-level results from measures installed in 2009 (funded by both the energy efficiency 

charge and unregulated fuels revenues) include: 

• 85,000 MWh in incremental energy savings 

• $101.4 million in total resource benefits 

• 470,000 tons of CO2

 emissions reduced across the lifetime of the measures 

• 60,000 MMBtu saved 

Efficiency Vermont undertook several new initiatives in 2009, including the launch of 

unregulated fuels services; the addition of Rutland as a Geographic Targeting area; a new 

focus on specialty compact fluorescent lighting products; completion of the Forecast 20 

study; support for communities pursuing new federal funding opportunities such as 

Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants; and development work related to the 

new Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) mechanism for financing investments in 

energy efficiency. 

All these initiatives, as well as key results for 2009, are described in further detail in this 

summary.

Economic Value 

Efficiency Vermont delivered significant economic value to Vermont businesses and 

homes in 2009. The benefit–cost ratio of Efficiency Vermont services in 2009 was 2.4 to 1, 

as detailed below: 

Net Lifetime Economic Value of 2009 Energy Efficiency Investments

and third-party investments 

Minus Costs 

$ 47,000,000 Total costs 

Equals Net Benefits $ 65,300,000 Net lifetime economic value to 

Vermont 

The benefits of energy efficiency investments, in terms of avoided costs for electricity, 

fossil fuel net savings, and water savings, were seen in residential markets and business 

markets alike. These total resource benefits (TRB) for each major market served by 

Efficiency Vermont were as follows: 

• Residential New Construction: $8.2 million 

• Existing Homes: $4.9 million 

• Retail Efficient Products: $27.6 million 

• Business New Construction: $15.0 million 

• Existing Businesses: $39.4 million 

Individual customers’ rate of return for Efficiency Vermont projects continued to be very 

attractive, particularly in comparison with other investments in 2009. The average rate of 

return for business customers was approximately 45% for their share of the cost of the 

efficiency measures. The average rate of return for residential customers was 

approximately 50%. 

Efficiency continued to be an excellent value compared to other sources of energy. 

Efficiency Vermont delivered energy efficiency in 2009 at 3.8 cents per kWh, 

approximately one-quarter of the cost of comparable electric supply.

Energy Savings 

Although the economic climate in 2009 presented challenges for Efficiency Vermont’s 

effort to maintain its historic pace of energy savings, the organization adapted to the 

circumstances over the course of the year. Efficiency Vermont implemented strategies 

that targeted the marketing of lighting products such as specialty compact fluorescent 

lighting, and it increased Account Management for large commercial and industrial 

customers. As a result, quarterly MWh savings results improved over the course of 2009, 

from approximately 15,000 MWh in the first quarter to approximately 35,000 MWh in 

the fourth quarter. 

In peak demand reduction, Efficiency Vermont produced significant savings:2

Peak Demand Reduction Savings 2009 

Summer peak kW 13,500 

Winter peak kW 15,200 

Summer Geographic Targeting peak kW 5,000 

Winter Geographic Targeting peak kW 5,100 

As in prior years, energy savings due to efficiency were responsible for supplying a 

significant share of Vermont’s overall electricity requirements. Efficiency savings from 

measures installed in 2009 provided 1.6% of Vermont’s statewide electricity requirements 

for that year.3

 Note that several changes were made to Geographic Targeting territories between 2008 and 2009, 

including discontinuing Newport and adding Rutland. 

3

 The figure includes savings from Burlington Electric Department and Green Mountain Power Energy 

Efficiency Fund measures. 
Executive Summary | Page iv 

These savings not only help Vermonters save money and energy, but also secure resources 

for unregulated fuels services. In 2009, VEIC, the Efficiency Vermont contractor, 

continued to bid the electric capacity savings from Efficiency Vermont into the regional 

Forward Capacity Market (FCM), generating $2.1 million in net revenues. These revenues 

help fund Efficiency Vermont’s unregulated fuels services for Vermont homes and 

businesses. With commitments of 49 MW, Efficiency Vermont will enter the 2010–2011 

commitment period as the third-largest individual source of FCM capacity in the state, 

trailing only Vermont Yankee and the McNeil Generating Station. 

Geographic Targeting 

In 2009, Geographic Targeting areas achieved summer peak and winter peak demand 

reductions of 5,000 kW and 5,100 kW, respectively. The Vermont Public Service Board 

ordered two significant changes in Geographic Targeting coverage in 2009: removing the 

Newport area and adding the Rutland area. Coverage areas were also slightly modified in 

the Chittenden County region. 

The launch of Geographic Targeting programs in the Rutland area was a success, with 

summer peak demand savings of 1,600 kW in that region. Efficiency Vermont actively 

promoted special services such as Lighting Plus and the new Targeted Efficient Products 

Campaign (described below) to help produce these results in Rutland and other 

Geographic Targeting areas. 

Also in 2009, Efficiency Vermont expanded its Retail Efficient Products market focus in 

Geographic Targeting areas and other areas to include new high-yield efficient product 

promotions, in addition to its existing promotions for standard compact fluorescent 

lighting. This expanded approach meant a greater effort to promote specialty compact 

fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and advanced power strips, and a special program to retire 

second refrigerators. In light of this shift, the name for the Retail Efficient Products efforts 

in Geographic Targeting areas was changed from Targeted Lighting Campaign to 

Targeted Efficient Products Campaign. 

A significant change was made in 2009 in the Lighting Plus direct installation service for 

business customers. In 2008, this service was piloted as a direct installation service for 

targeted customers in which 100% of the measure costs were paid by Efficiency Vermont. 

In 2009, after reviewing the initial results, Efficiency Vermont modified this service to 

change the incentive from 100% to an amount sufficient to create an 18-month simple 

payback, with long-term goals of maximizing the impact of ratepayer funds by requiring a 

modest customer investment and making the incentive level more consistent with other 

Efficiency Vermont incentives. 

This modification, in combination with the economic downturn, affected 2009 results for 

Lighting Plus: Savings in 2009 were 5,800 MWh, a 60% reduction from 2008 levels. To 

help overcome the financial barrier of the initial customer investment, Efficiency 

Vermont has developed a highly innovative “turnkey” financing product, which it plans 

to launch in 2010. The service will provide instant approval for customers who want to 

finance their share of project costs on a positive cash-flow basis. Approval of financing for 
Executive Summary | Page v 

customers is guaranteed, because Efficiency Vermont has established a loan-loss reserve 

fund. 

Efficiency Vermont also continued to offer the Lighting Plus direct installation service to 

K–12 schools located within Geographic Targeting areas. In these cases, Efficiency 

Vermont paid 100% of project costs, recognizing the financial challenges faced by 

Vermont schools and communities, particularly in the difficult economic climate. By the 

end of 2009, more than 90% of schools in Geographic Targeting areas had received 

Lighting Plus services. Total resource benefits savings from these projects in 2009 were 

$1.7 million. 

Unregulated Fuels Services Launch 

Efficiency Vermont was authorized by the Vermont Public Service Board to launch its 

FCM-funded unregulated fuels (URF) services in late 2008 and early 2009, with a budget 

of $1.3 million. 

Services provided during that period included the Vermont Community Energy 

Mobilization pilot project, which trained volunteers in 14 communities to conduct home 

visits and have discussions with their neighbors about energy efficiency. Each visit 

included installation of basic measures such as compact fluorescent lighting, water 

conservation devices, and programmable thermostats, followed by a “kitchen table” 

discussion about energy efficiency savings opportunities and referral to such services as 

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®

 for major measures. A total of 650 visits were 

made, and average savings per household were approximately 500 kWh and 2 MMBtu. 

Efficiency Vermont also provided further training for Home Performance with ENERGY 

STAR contractors. Two training sessions for 20 contractors were conducted in 2009 with 

support from FCM funding. In addition, Efficiency Vermont offered FCM-funded 

financial incentives to help moderate-income customers complete comprehensive energy 

efficiency home improvements through a certified Home Performance with ENERGY 

STAR contractor, as well as incentives for them to replace low-efficiency fossil fuel 

heating systems. 

The year 2009 also saw significant URF-related planning activities in both the residential 

and business sectors, as Efficiency Vermont prepared to launch more comprehensive URF 

initiatives for 2010 and 2011, funded through both FCM and Regional Greenhouse Gas 

Initiative (RGGI) revenues, as authorized by the Vermont Legislature. 

Economic Support for Vermont Businesses 

Savings in the Business New Construction and Business Existing Facilities markets for 

2009 totaled 8,600 MWh and 33,000 MWh, respectively, delivering net economic benefits 

of $54.5 million. This significant level of savings was achieved despite an extremely 

challenging financial climate in which commercial access to capital for investment (even 

highly cost-effective investment) was severely restricted. 
Executive Summary | Page vi 

Large customers receiving Efficiency Vermont Account Management services continued 

to provide a major portion of savings from these markets. In 2009, Account Management 

customers made up 50% of the overall savings achieved in Efficiency Vermont’s business 

markets. 

Given the importance of large commercial and industrial customers in Efficiency 

Vermont’s overall portfolio, several internal efforts were undertaken in 2009 to 

strengthen the organization’s work with those clients. A project called the Voice of the 

Customer gathered feedback from most of Vermont’s 65 largest commercial and 

industrial users of electricity, and elicited detailed information from the customer 

perspective regarding Efficiency Vermont services. The project was conducted by an 

independent third-party organization. 

Overall, customers rated Efficiency Vermont Account Management services very highly, 

placing the utility in the 80th percentile of organizations evaluated by the consultancy that 

conducted the study. In 2010, Efficiency Vermont expects to further enhance its level of 

service to these customers through its new Key Account Management division, a service 

focused solely on the unique needs of large commercial and industrial customers. 

Efficiency Vermont continued to serve large and small commercial customers (dairy 

farms, convenience stores, etc.) alike in 2009 with targeted market initiatives. Each 

initiative is supported by Efficiency Vermont staff who are experts in those markets, and 

who understand the unique conditions under which those sectors operate. 

A Rebound for Efficient Products 

As a result of the weak economy, the Retail Efficient Products market faced a challenging 

beginning to 2009. After a slow start for CFL sales in particular, a renewed marketing 

campaign and outreach to new retail partners such as convenience stores contributed to a 

significant increase in CFL sales in the latter half of 2009. Efficiency Vermont added more 

than 80 retail partners last year. 

 
Executive Summary | Page vii 

Consistent with the strategy described in the Efficiency Vermont 2009–2011 annual plan, 

and with the negotiated per-unit savings rate reductions for standard CFLs, Efficiency 

Vermont placed an increased focus on the promotion and sale of specialty CFLs such as 

dimmable and three-way products. Over the course of 2009, the proportion of specialty 

CFLs within overall CFL sales steadily grew, from 10% at the start of the year to more 

than 25% in the final three months of the year. 

Efficiency Vermont also developed new initiatives in non-lighting product categories in 

2009. Advanced power strips (“smart strips”), which can automatically cut off power to 

other devices when the main device is powered off, were promoted through a 

combination of negotiated buy-down agreements and coupon discounts. A refrigerator 

and freezer turn-in and recycling service was piloted in 2009, and will be expanded 

statewide in 2010. This service provides an incentive for a customer to take a working but 

inefficient refrigerator or freezer out of service, and offers free pickup and recycling of the 

old unit. In 2009, approximately 650 refrigerators and 300 freezers were turned in as part 

of this program. 

In the community service area, Efficiency Vermont supported a compact fluorescent 

lighting distribution program in collaboration with the Vermont Foodbank, which 

provides food items and other goods to 270 food shelves and pantries across the state. The 

promotion was very successful, with approximately 30,000 CFLs distributed. Efficiency 

Vermont expects to repeat this promotion in 2010. 

Efficiency Vermont worked closely with the Department of Public Service, Vermont Gas 

Systems, and the Vermont Retail Association to develop an appliance rebate program 

funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The $600,000 program 

will provide additional rebates for the highest tiers of ENERGY STAR qualified efficient 

clothes washers, refrigerators, and room air conditioners, and its launch was scheduled to 

coincide with the March 2010 sales tax holiday. The program design requires proof of 

disposal or recycling. 

Savings for Residential Customers 

Efficiency Vermont savings for Residential New Construction and Existing Homes (which 

includes multifamily buildings) totaled 1,700 MWh and 2,600 MWh, respectively, in 

2009, with reduced savings levels mirroring the national economic climate. However, 

savings rose over the course of the year, increasing by approximately 30% from the first 

quarter of 2009 to the final quarter. 

Savings from the Residential New Construction market were, to some extent, a reflection 

of the slowdown in housing construction activity. In 2009, new residential construction 

completions in Vermont were down 14% from the prior year. 

However, the rate of participation in the Vermont ENERGY STAR Homes Residential 

New Construction service increased in 2009, rising to 30% from 23% in 2008. Of the 

homes that participated in the service, 88% met all program criteria in 2009, up from 81% 

in 2008 and 61% in 2007. The number of builders participating in this service also 

continued to increase, with 42 new builders added in 2009. 
Executive Summary | Page viii 

The private contractor–based Home Performance with ENERGY STAR network 

continued to serve as Efficiency Vermont’s primary vehicle for delivering residential 

retrofit savings. Efficiency Vermont continued to support and expand this network in 

2009, with a greater number of certified Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

contractors completing a larger number of projects. The number of Home Performance 

with ENERGY STAR contractors increased by 50%, to more than 70 certified individuals 

representing more than 50 businesses across the state. Vermont has the highest per capita 

number of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors in the nation. These 

contractors reported approximately 260 comprehensive retrofit projects, leveraging more 

than $1.7 million in customer investment. 

Efficiency Vermont initiated a collaboration in 2009 with representatives from industries 

including real estate, home construction, appraisal, banking, and others to explore 

opportunities related to the valuation of efficiency investments. Increased market 

recognition of the value of energy efficiency investments will enable development of 

financing and other tools to advance the trend toward deeper investments in efficiency. 

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Deployment (ARRA) 

Efficiency Vermont worked with the Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS) and 

the Clean Energy Development Fund (CEDF) to make effective use of energy-related 

ARRA funds. In the area of residential building code updates required by ARRA, 

Efficiency Vermont provided support for development of the stakeholder process that is 

being led by the DPS, and expects to be an active participant in that process as it unfolds. 

Efficiency Vermont also worked with the CEDF to respond to the federal Energy 

Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funding opportunity for Vermont 

cities and towns. Efficiency Vermont offered initial review services for EECBG applicants, 

and is working with applicants that advanced beyond the CEDF’s first round of 

consideration to develop incentive offers and provide technical assistance as needed. 

For communities that were eligible for direct EECBG grants from the U.S. Department of 

Energy, Efficiency Vermont undertook a proactive Account Management approach, 

assisting those communities in identifying eligible cost-effective energy efficiency projects 

(except those in the city of Burlington, which is served by Burlington Electric 

Department). 

Financing Initiatives 

Efficiency Vermont has long considered a lack of financing options to be a significant 

barrier to deeper investment in energy efficiency. In 2009, Efficiency Vermont provided 

support and input to Vermont legislators in the development and adoption of enabling 

legislation for a financing mechanism that has come to be known as Property Assessed 

Clean Energy (PACE). This enabling legislation was included in Act 45, the omnibus 

energy bill enacted into law in May 2009. 
Executive Summary | Page ix 

PACE financing enables property owners to finance investments in energy efficiency and 

renewable energy measures through their municipality. Those investments are secured as 

a lien on the property and repaid as part of the property tax bill. The period of repayment 

is of sufficient length to allow for positive monthly cash flow to the homeowner or 

business owner, and the repayment obligation remains with the property, so that owners 

do not need to pay off the outstanding balance if they sell the property. 

The legislation provides for duties to be carried out by the energy efficiency utilities 

(EEUs), which are Efficiency Vermont and the Burlington Electric Department’s 

efficiency division. The EEUs must annually publish a list of eligible efficiency measures, 

an obligation that Efficiency Vermont and BED first fulfilled in July 2009. The EEUs are 

also responsible for final review of project cash-flow analysis. Though the law does not 

require projects to have a positive cash flow, cash-flow analysis and disclosure are 

required for each proposed project. 

As specified in the Vermont enabling legislation, individual towns must opt in to PACE 

through a public vote. At the end of 2009, several communities were planning to place 

this question on their 2010 Town Meeting agendas. 

In 2009, Efficiency Vermont also initiated a process to review financing options and 

incentives for Home Performance with ENERGY STAR. After consultation with lenders, 

contractors, and other stakeholders, Efficiency Vermont discontinued its interest rate 

buy-down incentive at the end of 2009 in favor of cash incentives. Efficiency Vermont will 

continue to work with the lending community to develop new, attractive financing tools. 

Forecasting 

Efficiency Vermont completed its first study of demand side management (DSM) 

potential in 2009, known as Forecast 20. This study assumed a fixed annual DSM budget 

of $31 million for resource acquisition for the next 20 years.4

 The forecast methodology 

used a measure-level, “bottom up” analysis to assess the potential of many different kinds 

of energy efficiency measures that could be deployed over the next 20 years. 

Forecast 20 found that within a budget-constrained scenario over the next 20 years: 

• Vermont’s forecasted electric requirements will be reduced by 1,093,000 MWh per 

year, or 14.2% of the projected total energy requirements for the year 2027. 

• Peak demand reductions would total 204,000 kW in summer and 177,000 kW in 

winter, reducing seasonal forecasted peak demand in 2027 by 14% and 13.4%, 

respectively. 

• These 20 years of investment would generate net societal benefits of $1.3 billion 

over the expected lifetime of measures installed through 2027. 

• Electric system net benefits would amount to an estimated $1 billion. 

 

4

 Unlike some other potential studies, Forecast 20 is not a forecast of technical or cost-effective maximum 

potential. It is built upon a more narrowly focused scenario in which resource acquisition budgets are held 

constant for a 20-year period. 
Executive Summary | Page x 

Forecast 20 serves as the first edition of what is expected to be a 20-year DSM forecast 

delivered by Efficiency Vermont every three years, in coordination with forecasts 

developed by the DPS and the Vermont Electric Power Company. 

Major Regulatory Changes 

Significant regulatory changes relating to Efficiency Vermont’s structure and operations 

took place in 2009. The most far-reaching was the Public Service Board’s November 2009 

order in Docket 7466 providing for a change in the EEU structure from a three-year 

contract cycle to an order of appointment for up to 12 years. Further proceedings related 

to implementation of this order will take place in 2010. 

Two new programs related to self-management for large commercial customers were also 

created in 2009, with implementation to follow in 2010. The Self-Managed Energy 

Efficiency Program was created by the Legislature and allows certain customers to be 

relieved of energy efficiency charge (EEC) payments, and to self-manage their efficiency 

programs. As currently defined, this program applies to a single customer (IBM), whose 

enrollment has been accepted for 2010. Also in 2009, rules were developed and approved 

by the board for Energy Savings Accounts, a broader self-management program available 

to commercial customers with an annual EEC of at least $5,000. Efficiency Vermont will 

be working with the Department of Public Service to implement this program in 2010.

1. INTRODUCTION 

In 2009, Efficiency Vermont delivered significant economic value to Vermont 

homeowners and businesses alike, with total resource benefits (TRB) of $101.4 million to 

the State, relative to Efficiency Vermont expenditures of $26.5 million. Further, Efficiency 

Vermont delivered services that provided economic and environmental benefits to 

ratepayers statewide, while also supporting private-sector contractors and partners. 

Table 1: Economic Benefits of Efficiency Vermont Services, 2009 

Total Resource Benefits by Market 

Business New Construction $15,000,000 

Business Existing Facilities $39,400,000 

Residential New Construction $8,200,000 

Existing Homes $4,900,000 

Retail Efficient Products $27,600,000 

Customer Credit $6,200,000

Business $36,000 

Residential (includes Retail Efficient Products) $1,200 

Average Rate of Return on Investment 

Business 45% 

Residential (includes Retail Efficient Products) 50% 

The environmental benefits associated with efficiency investments in 2009 were 

significant, due primarily to the fact that efficiency is a factor in reduced electricity 

generation and its associated emissions. In addition, environmental benefits accrued from 

Efficiency Vermont’s new unregulated fuels initiatives.

Carbon dioxide 540,000 tons 

Nitrogen oxides 250 tons 

Sulfur oxides 800 tons 

The reductions in carbon dioxide emissions alone have an effect equivalent to removing 

94,000 cars from the road for a year. 

Efficiency Vermont delivered economic benefits statewide, with low-cost efficiency 

contributing to Vermont’s least-cost power planning objectives. In 2009, efficiency

and sulfur oxides reductions reflect benefits from electric initiatives only. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 2 

provided 1.6% of Vermont’s electricity supply requirements, a depth of savings that, 

although lower than the 2.5% rate in 2008, is still one of the best in the nation. On a 

cumulative basis, these measures provided 11% of Vermont’s electricity supply 

requirements in 2009. 

These savings are being provided to Vermont ratepayers at a very economical 3.8 cents 

per kWh. Taking into account participating customers’ additional costs and savings, the 

levelized net resource cost of saved electric energy in 2009 was 3.0 cents / kWh.

If ratepayers had paid for the same amount of electricity that they actually saved through 

efficiency, the cost of that comparable electric supply in 2009 would have been 13.6 cents 

per kWh. This means that if these 2009 efficiency investments had not been made, 

Vermont utilities would have had to pay an estimated $125.1 million more over the 

lifetime of the measures to generate or purchase electricity. 

Efficiency Vermont also sought to support the Vermont economy through its partnership 

with private-sector providers of energy efficiency products and services. In 2009, 

Efficiency Vermont supported and promoted its network of more than 70 Home 

Performance with ENERGY STAR® contractors, joined with 380 retail partners to promote 

and provide incentives for customers’ purchase of efficient products, collaborated with 

more than 830 design professionals and engineers to deliver more customer value while 

supporting these service providers, and engaged more than 20 upstream distributors to 

bring increased quantities of efficient products into the supply chain. 

Under the performance-based Efficiency Vermont contract, there is a significant focus on 

meeting aggressive “stretch goals” to encourage high levels of performance and 

innovation. For 2009, the first year of the current three-year performance period, results 

in some areas reflect the impact of the overall economic climate on the rate at which 

Efficiency Vermont is acquiring savings toward these aggressive goals. 

These results are significant under the current circumstances: a highly challenging 

economic environment for Vermont and for the nation as a whole. In Vermont, the 

unemployment rate reached 7.4% in 2009, and economic activity in the state, as reflected 

in general fund revenues, was down 7.2% from 2008. 

Other notable Vermont economic indicators in 2009 were residential new construction 

(down 14% from 2008), corporate tax revenue (down 11% from 2008), and personal 

income tax revenues (down 15% from 2008). Economic conditions such as these had a 

direct bearing on the ability of business and residential customers to make energy 

efficiency investments. 

In response to indications in early 2009 showing a decline in Retail Efficient Products 

results (mirrored by similar declines nationwide), Efficiency Vermont began to shift some 

of its resources from that market to the Business Existing Facilities market, where 

additional cost-effective savings opportunities were identified. This shift is part of the 

process of adjusting strategies and resource allocation over the course of the three-year 

performance period to maximize benefits for Vermont ratepayers, while adhering to the 

contract’s Performance Objectives, Minimum Performance Requirements, and other 

policy objectives set by the Vermont Public Service Board (Board) and state law.

Efficiency Vermont targeted initiatives, and highlights from other services that are not 

limited to specific markets, such as Customer Service and Information Technology. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 4 

1.1 Overview of Services and Initiatives for Business and 

Institutional Customers 

The decline in the state’s economic activity in 2009, and the associated constriction of 

capital, contributed to a more challenging investment environment for Vermont’s 

business sector, including investments in energy efficiency. Despite these challenges, 

Efficiency Vermont partnered with more than 1,500 business and institutional customers 

to make investments in energy efficiency, helping those customers reduce costs at a time 

when both operating and capital budgets were severely strained. 

Efficiency Vermont continued its multipronged approach for these customers, which 

includes intensive account management for large customers with complex projects; a 

more prescriptive strategy for smaller customers with standard savings opportunities; and 

targeted initiatives tailored to the needs of specific markets, such as grocery stores, 

schools, and hospitals. 

Highlights for 2009 Efficiency Vermont services to business and institutional customers: 

• 41,000 MWh savings, $54.5 million in TRB, 5.6 MW reduction in winter peak 

demand, and 7.8 MW reduction in summer peak demand. 

• Participants: 1,500. 

• Average return on investment for participants: 45%. 

• Ratio of TRB to Efficiency Vermont costs: 3:1. 

• Launch of the new Key Account Management division, part of a continuous effort 

to improve the level of service to Efficiency Vermont’s largest customers; the 

efficiency savings for these customers made up 25% of the overall portfolio of 

savings for 2009. This new service is described in more detail on page 8. 

• A new emphasis on presenting customers with the economics (particularly the 

cash flow) of projects, to encourage recognition of long-term economic benefits 

and return on investment, particularly in a difficult economy. 

• Steady increase in savings throughout the year, rising from 700 MWh reported in 

January to 11,500 MWh reported in December.
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 5 

1.2 Overview of Services and Initiatives for Residential Customers

Vermont residential customers faced their own set of economic challenges in 2009, as 

reflected in a sharp decrease of 14.8% in Vermont personal income tax revenues and an 

increase in unemployment. These factors, combined with trends such as a significant 

slowdown in housing construction activity (Vermont municipalities issued 959 residential 

building permits in 2009, compared with 1,158 permits in 2008), affected Efficiency 

Vermont’s ability to obtain efficiency savings in both the residential retrofit and new 

construction markets. 

Even so, Efficiency Vermont continued to provide new and expanded service offerings in 

both markets, and sought to increase participation rates. In the Residential New 

Construction market, participation in Vermont ENERGY STAR Homes (VESH) 

increased from 23% of the eligible market in 2008 to 30% in 2009. In designing and 

providing its services for the residential retrofit market, Efficiency Vermont continued to 

focus on promoting comprehensive treatment of buildings, with tools such as Home 

Performance with ENERGY STAR incentives to overcome residential customers’ barriers 

to making comprehensive energy efficiency investments. With support from revenues to 

the State from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Vermont Energy 

Investment Corporation’s participation in ISO New England’s Forward Capacity Market 

(FCM), Efficiency Vermont’s whole-house service seeks to address all end uses 

comprehensively, regardless of fuel type. 

Highlights for 2009 Efficiency Vermont services to residential customers:6

 

• 4,200 MWh savings, $13.1 million in TRB, 900 kW reduction in winter peak 

demand, and 400 kW reduction in summer peak demand. 

• Participants: 5,700. 

• Average return on investment for participants: 60%. 

• Ratio of Total Resource Benefits to Efficiency Vermont costs: 2:1. 

• Delivery of services to low-income Vermonters, resulting in savings of 1,400 MWh 

for multifamily housing and 1,000 MWh in single-family homes. Efficiency 

Vermont also continued its successful collaboration with weatherization assistance 

providers to leverage electric and non-electric savings. 

• Redesign of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR to more effectively 

encourage the comprehensive treatment of buildings, and to create a uniform, 

statewide incentive structure. 

• Setting an objective of maintaining level participation in the VESH service in the 

20092011 Annual Plan, in anticipation of a slowdown in new housing starts. As 

noted above, VESH’s share of the eligible market in 2009 was 30%, exceeding the 

market share of 23% in 2008. 

• Focusing major new initiatives for the Existing Homes market in 2009 primarily 

on the development and launch of unregulated fuels–funded services, bringing 

more customer value to the existing Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

service. These services are discussed on page 16.

 These results do not include Retail Efficient Products, which are described on page 6. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 6 

1.3 Overview of Retail Efficient Products Services and Initiatives 

Lower levels of savings in the Retail Efficient Products market in 2009 largely reflect an 

overall decline in consumer spending, and might also reflect Vermont’s high level of 

market penetration (the highest in the nation). These lower levels of savings mirror 

results reported by other efficiency portfolio managers outside Vermont. 

A significant slowdown in CFL sales was the primary driver for the overall 2009 results for 

Retail Efficient Products. Sales of CFLs yielded 32,000 MWh in savings in 2009, down 

50% from 2008, the result of a 35% decrease in unit sales and changes in savings 

methodology. However, over the course of 2009, sales improved: 150,000 units were sold 

in the first quarter, and 200,000 units in the fourth quarter. 

Notably, in the face of this overall decline, the share of specialty CFLs (three-way, 

dimmable, etc.) increased from 10% of all CFL sales in the first quarter to 25% of all CFL 

sales in the fourth quarter. This result appears to reflect a range of program modifications 

and promotional activities implemented in 2009 to achieve a specialty bulb market share 

increase, as identified in the Efficiency Vermont 2009–2011 Annual Plan. 

Efficiency Vermont’s 2009 efforts in the area of Retail Efficient Products also included 

two major new initiatives unrelated to CFLs. The second refrigerator turn-in service 

provides incentives for the removal and recycling of old, inefficient units. This service was 

piloted in 2009 and will be expanded statewide in 2010. In addition, planning work was 

completed on a new initiative for advanced power strips, which help reduce “phantom 

load” from home appliances and electronics. 

Highlights for 2009 Efficiency Vermont services in Retail Efficient Products: 

• 35,000 MWh savings, $27.6 million in TRB, 8.4 MW reduction in winter peak 

demand, and 4.7 MW reduction in summer peak demand. 

• Participants: 29,500. 

• Average return on investment for participants: 50%. 

• Ratio of TRB to Efficiency Vermont costs: 8:1. 

• Implementation of a pilot program for removing and recycling second 

refrigerators and freezers, focused on Geographic Targeting and other areas. 

Approximately 950 refrigerator and freezer units were removed. 

• Development of a new upstream partnership with retailers to begin marketing 

advanced, efficient electric power strips in 2010. 

• Delivery of 30,000 CFLs to the Vermont Foodbank for distribution to food shelves 

throughout Vermont. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 7 

1.4 Major Strategies Review 

The 2009–2011 Annual Plan identified five major strategies that would support Efficiency 

Vermont’s savings goals: 

• Account Management: Customized solutions for the specific business needs of 

large and midsized businesses 

• High-Performance Partners: Influencing the availability of energy efficiency 

services and equipment by deepening relationships with wholesale suppliers, 

vendors, and other professionals operating upstream from end-use customers 

• Community Energy Initiatives: Expanding relationships with community and 

local business leaders, civic and religious organizations, and schools, to turn 

public awareness of energy efficiency into action 

• Transition to Specialty CFLs and LED Products: Working to expand retail sale of 

specialty CFLs, as well as light-emitting diode (LED) products, as these products 

and technologies continue to evolve 

• Direct Installation of Efficiency Measures in Geographic Targeting Areas:

Providing cost-effective energy efficiency measures at significantly reduced cost to 

qualified customers in Geographic Targeting areas 

In carrying out these strategies, Efficiency Vermont identified several overarching 

objectives in its 2009–2011 Annual Plan. Notable results from 2009 in the context of those 

objectives are: 

• A greater percentage of business customers that deepen their savings by 

completing second or third efficiency or business expansion projects: The 

percentage of business customers that completed second or third projects 

increased from 40% in 2008 to 50% in 2009. 

• More savings from initiatives that involve upstream business partners: Savings 

associated with these initiatives increased from 600 MWh in 2008 to 2,000 MWh 

in 2009. 

• A special emphasis on small businesses in Geographic Targeting areas: Savings 

for these customers totaled 5,300 MWh in 2009. 

• Tailored incentive strategies in business markets to create positive cash flow 

through financing, as well as through direct financial incentives: Efficiency 

Vermont created a new turnkey financing option for businesses in Geographic 

Targeting areas; developed and implemented a new procedure for presenting 

savings opportunities, focused on achieving positive cash flow for these business 

customers; promoted a customer economics–focused approach to presenting 

incentive offers to encourage more participation at deeper levels. 

• A shift in focus from standard spiral CFLs to specialty CFLs and LED technology:

Incentives were reduced for standard spiral CFLs; new advertising focused on 

specialty CFLs; the share of specialty CFL sales in the overall CFL market increased 

significantly in 2009; savings from LED products increased from 70 MWh in 2008 

to 430 MWh in 2009. 

• Expanding electrical energy efficiency while introducing new opportunities for 

fossil fuel efficiency: Efficiency Vermont launched RGGI- and FCM-funded 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 8 

unregulated fuels initiatives, including the Vermont Community Energy 

Mobilization (VCEM) project and Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

incentives for middle-income Vermonters. Developed commercial heating 

equipment rebate program and Home Performance with ENERGY STAR service 

for small business and multifamily markets, both set to launch in 2010 (further 

described on page 16). 

Account Management 

Efficiency Vermont instituted the Account Management service in 2006 as a strategy to 

acquire greater savings by proactively offering customized solutions for the specific 

business needs of large and midsized businesses, and by establishing long-term 

relationships with these customers. This service was an expansion of Efficiency Vermont’s 

existing Enhanced Customer Service initiative for large customers. The Account 

Management approach provides business customers with a designated Efficiency 

Vermont staff person who knows the customer’s business well and can serve as a single 

point of contact. 

It also provides alignment of Efficiency Vermont services with customer business and 

planning cycles; cash-flow and financial analysis to demonstrate the economic value of 

efficiency investments; and a commitment to offering customized solutions that best meet 

the unique needs of these customers. 

Over time, as this approach has proved successful in meeting customer needs and 

Efficiency Vermont savings goals alike, it has been expanded to encompass additional 

customers, particularly large customers in Geographic Targeting areas. In 2009, more 

than 400 projects were completed with 200 customers. Projects undertaken by these 

customers provided 25% of Efficiency Vermont savings in 2009. 

The savings of 20,000 MWh and the 2.5 MW reduction in winter peak demand and 3.3 

MW reduction in summer peak demand from this customer segment were, as with other 

market segments, below projections in 2009. This market segment experienced significant 

challenges with availability of capital, particularly early in 2009 at the height of the 

national credit crisis. Many large customers reported their capital budgets were either 

entirely frozen or drastically reduced. Because of the uncertain economic climate, other 

customers delayed capital investments as a risk-management strategy. 

Efficiency Vermont worked intensively with these customers to find solutions that would 

yield significant and lasting savings, while working within the constraints of very limited 

budgets. Total Resource Benefits for projects undertaken by these customers in 2009 were 

$27.5 million, with an average rate of return of approximately 40%. Efficiency Vermont 

worked with customers to demonstrate the comparative safety of energy efficiency as an 

investment. 

In recognition of the importance of this customer segment to the success of Efficiency 

Vermont, the “Voice of the Customer” survey project was undertaken in 2009 to identify 

and explore in depth the strengths and weaknesses of the Account Management service. 

Third-party interviewers spoke to 52 Account Management customers in person, 

reaching key decision makers within each organization. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 9 

Significant findings from Voice of the Customer: 

• 40% of respondents rated Efficiency Vermont as a “9” or a “10” on a 10-point 

scale in overall customer satisfaction, placing Efficiency Vermont in the top 19% 

of suppliers. 

• Using the same 10-point scale, 75% of respondents rated Efficiency Vermont at 

“9” or “10” on the question of whether they would recommend Efficiency 

Vermont to a business colleague. 

• Overall customer satisfaction was 84%, with top marks given in the areas of 

responsiveness, customer focus, and ease of contact. 

As positive as these results were, the survey also indicated areas for improvement. In 

particular, many large customers expressed a desire for Efficiency Vermont to participate 

more actively in corporate planning processes, when decisions about capital investment 

are made. 

In response to these and other survey findings, and also in response to the rapid growth of 

Account Management services since their inception, Efficiency Vermont undertook a 

major reconfiguration of this service in 2009 with the creation of the Key Account 

Management group. Using existing staff resources, this new group brought under a single 

umbrella all the resources and leadership directed at this critical customer segment. This 

configuration enabled a higher level of focus on the unique and varying needs of large 

commercial customers, with an Efficiency Vermont team specifically chosen and trained 

to understand and address those needs. Because of this strategy’s success, it will continue 

into 2010. 

Account Management is not necessarily the most appropriate strategy for all customers, 

and Efficiency Vermont does not take a “one size fits all” approach when working with its 

customers. For smaller commercial and industrial customers, prescriptive and direct 

installation approaches can produce significant savings. 

High-Performance Partners 

The High-Performance Partners strategy recognizes that market actors who operate 

“upstream” from Efficiency Vermont customers — actors such as suppliers, distributors, 

design professionals, builders, and contractors — can exert considerable influence on the 

efficiency-related choices these customers make in many markets. Establishing mutually 

beneficial, business-to-business partnerships with these entities can both leverage the 

influence they have in upstream markets and enable Efficiency Vermont to achieve higher 

levels of savings at lower cost to Vermont ratepayers. 

High-Performance Partners act as a multiplier for Efficiency Vermont’s marketing and 

business development efforts, helping reach more customers than Efficiency Vermont can 

reach on its own. These relationships also contribute toward the goal of “market 

transformation”—that is, making energy efficiency standard practice in existing market 

structures. This is a long-term strategy for which savings are expected to increase over 

time as business relationships develop and mature. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 10 

Building and working through these relationships advances another important objective 

of Efficiency Vermont: leveraging resources to support the development of an expanded, 

vibrant private-sector infrastructure for delivering energy efficiency products and services 

in Vermont. Efficiency Vermont uses the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

service to support the development of a statewide network of private home energy 

improvement contractors; similarly, its High-Performance Partners strategy seeks to 

expand and support a network of Vermont product and service providers. 

Efficiency Vermont builds these partnerships through methods such as product buydown incentives, cooperative marketing, incentives offered to suppliers that stock energyefficient products, direct vendor and installer sales incentives, design incentives, 

participation in trade shows, sponsorship of the Better Buildings by Design Conference, 

and customized training for upstream partners on the value of efficiency for their 

customers. 

One significant new upstream initiative designed in 2009 was RELIGHT, a service created 

to encourage commercial customers to enlist the support of lighting design professionals 

on lighting retrofit projects. Lighting design professionals not only can provide expert 

advice on lighting equipment and design, but also can guide a business toward achieving 

the maximum energy savings possible during a lighting upgrade. Good lighting design can 

provide significant additional savings over what can be achieved through simply installing 

efficient equipment. Financial incentives provided by Efficiency Vermont as part of the 

RELIGHT program are intended to encourage customers to use a qualified lighting 

designer and generate valuable additional savings when this service launches in 2010. 

Past Efficiency Vermont projects have shown that lighting designer involvement can 

increase energy savings by an average of 40% compared to standard one-for-one retrofits 

that simply match new lighting equipment to the layout and light level of a previous 

lighting installation. Beyond increased energy savings, redesign also often improves 

project economics and customers’ lighting quality — in terms of uniformity, light level, 

and color appropriate to the application. 

In addition to providing new opportunities for energy savings, RELIGHT will advance the 

relationship between Efficiency Vermont and a new segment of the design professional 

community, supporting Efficiency Vermont’s contract directive to collaborate with 

private service providers. RELIGHT will offer a mutually beneficial solution for design 

professionals seeking new project opportunities in a difficult economic climate and 

customers who might not otherwise be able to afford these services. 

Another notable new High-Performance Partner initiative in 2009 was the significant 

expansion in the number of lighting retail partners. Efficiency Vermont added more than 

80 new retail partners in 2009, an increase of 34% over 2008. In particular, Efficiency 

Vermont focused on building partnerships beyond traditional distribution channels (for 

example, hardware and large grocery stores), identifying new retail channels, such as 

convenience stores, that serve a significant share of the marketplace. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 11 

Community Energy Initiatives 

The Community Energy Initiative (CEI) strategy was developed to harness existing 

community interest in increasing energy efficiency, curbing global warming, and 

achieving energy independence, in support of Efficiency Vermont’s contract goals. The 

initiatives that make up this strategy are informed by Efficiency Vermont’s years of prior 

experience in community energy activity, with an added focus on initiatives for 

Geographic Targeting communities. 

Efficiency Vermont launched a significant new CEI in 2009, the Vermont Community 

Energy Mobilization (VCEM) project. Funded primarily by FCM revenues, VCEM was a 

five-month demonstration project that relied on community volunteers to increase 

awareness about energy savings opportunities in Vermonters’ homes, and to achieve 

electrical and thermal energy savings through: 1) the direct installation of energy-efficient 

products for the home, and 2) referral to the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

service for major home retrofits. Efficiency Vermont partnered with local energy 

committees and other community groups to implement this program at the community 

level. Trained community volunteers installed energy-saving measures, conducted walkthrough assessments of opportunities for home energy savings, and held “kitchen table” 

discussions about energy-saving opportunities and resources. 

VCEM reached 650 homes in 54 towns, with 243 volunteers conducting the home energy 

visits. Approximately 8,000 energy-saving products were installed, including compact 

fluorescent lightbulbs, pipe insulation, insulated wraps for hot water heaters, low-flow 

showerheads, faucet aerators, and programmable thermostats. This effort resulted in an 

estimated 330,000 kWh and 2,000 MMBtus saved in the first year. 

Efficiency Vermont completed an evaluation of VCEM in October 2009, including a 

participant survey and an analysis of program lessons learned and the effort’s costeffectiveness. In particular, Efficiency Vermont wanted to understand the degree to which 

the VCEM home visits led homeowners to make more comprehensive investments in 

energy efficiency. In the survey, 20% of participant respondents said they planned to have 

a full home energy audit conducted by a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

contractor as a result of the program. Ultimately, 11 of 576 single-family residential 

ratepayers (2% of participants) took additional steps toward weatherization work; 

ratepayers in 14 homes took additional steps toward such actions as replacing 

refrigerators. In refining VCEM for 2010, Efficiency Vermont has identified as a key 

objective focusing on strategies for increasing these rates of participation for additional 

investments in energy efficiency. 

 

Efficiency Vermont took part in numerous events in 2009, including trade shows, school 

presentations, and conferences. Efficiency Vermont participates in these events to 

increase public awareness of energy efficiency opportunities and Efficiency Vermont 

services. Efficiency Vermont also provides support for Home Performance with ENERGY 

STAR contractors who participate in these events, as a strategy for building market 

demand for their services. 

Additionally, Efficiency Vermont continued to focus on CEI activities in certain 

Geographic Targeting communities in Vermont. These communities included St. Albans, 

Essex, Colchester, Manchester, Rutland, and Milton. The primary outreach effort for 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 12 

these communities was a “Key Influencer” ad campaign, published in community 

newspapers and flyers, in which local residents provided testimonials about the benefits of 

energy efficiency and energy-efficient products (including specialty CFLs and advanced 

power strips). 

Other CEI outreach efforts in Geographic Targeting areas were school and nonprofit 

fundraisers with efficient products, demonstrations of efficient products and services at 

community events, and targeted efficient product promotions (including the second 

refrigerator retirement program). 

Transition to Specialty CFLs and LED Products 

In the face of changing federal standards for lighting and rapidly evolving new 

technologies, Efficiency Vermont implemented a new strategy to accelerate the transition 

from promotion of standard spiral CFLs to promotion of specialty CFLs such as 

dimmable, three-way, and candelabra products. Efficiency Vermont also continues to 

play a leading role in supporting the highly efficient, although still relatively expensive, 

emerging LED technology. 

The results of that change in strategy were clearly seen in 2009, as sales of specialty CFL 

products more than doubled their share of the overall CFL market, from 10% to 25%; 

sales for 2009 totaled 150,000 units and 11,500 MWh of savings. For a year that proved 

very challenging for CFL sales as a whole, this shift represented a positive development for 

the efficient products market in Vermont. 

The greater the availability and penetration of specialty CFLs in the Vermont 

marketplace, the more the state will continue its national leadership in per-household 

saturation of CFL lighting, especially because these products can now be used in sockets 

not suitable for standard spiral CFLs. 

Efficiency Vermont continued to develop customer incentives for the emerging market in 

LED products, which offer increasing levels of efficacy, excellent light quality, long life, 

and no mercury disposal difficulties. Efficiency Vermont introduced a number of 

prescriptive rebates for certain LED products in 2009, for both internal use (downlights) 

and external use (streetlights). 

Installation of LEDs more than tripled in 2009, from 497 units in 2008 to 1,780 units in 

2009; associated savings grew from 72 MWh to 428 MWh during that period. 

Direct Installation of Efficiency Measures in Geographic Targeting Areas 

Efficiency Vermont continued to provide its Lighting Plus service in 2009, offering direct 

installation of lighting measures for midsized businesses. The service continued to be 

offered through a partnership with RISE Engineering, as a turnkey solution for qualifying 

businesses. 

To improve leveraging of ratepayer resources, Lighting Plus was modified in 2009 from a 

100% free service to one in which the customer cost was bought down to a service 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 13 

offering an 18-month customer payback period. Efficiency Vermont developed a 

financing strategy to address the challenge of moving to a new Lighting Plus model that 

included a customer contribution. This new financing product, offered in conjunction 

with a commercial lending institution, provides instant loan approval for any participant, 

thanks to an Efficiency Vermont loan guarantee backing each project. There is no 

underwriting or qualification required, so loans can be offered and agreed upon by 

program representatives at the time of the retrofit offer to the customer. Although 

developed in 2009, this financing offer was not implemented until 2010. 

Savings from Lighting Plus totaled 5,800 MWh in energy savings and 1 MW reduction in 

winter peak demand and 1.6 MW reduction in summer peak demand in 2009. Efficiency 

Vermont completed 435 projects in more than 360 facilities, with Total Resource Benefits 

totaling $7.4 million. 

Non-lighting measures were also supported in Geographic Targeting areas. In particular, 

the Express Refrigeration service was launched in the winter Geographic Targeting area 

and then expanded to other areas. This direct installation service resulted in 60 MWh in 

energy savings and a 7 kW reduction in winter peak demand and 6 kW reduction in 

summer peak demand in 2009.

1.5. Highlights from Selected Market Initiatives 

Market-Based Initiatives 

Business New Construction 

The Business New Construction initiative is focused on improving the energy efficiency of 

new construction and major renovation of non-residential buildings in Vermont. 

Efficiency Vermont works with the developers of these projects during a short but critical 

window during design and construction phases to minimize the loss of appropriate 

opportunities to build in efficiency from Day One. 

In 2009, this market remained flat, primarily because of the weak economy, constrained 

capital investments, and limited business growth to fuel new construction funding. 

Despite the slowdown in overall activity, Efficiency Vermont saw an increase in the 

number of projects, likely the result of customers seeking to secure every possible 

financial resource in the face of the difficult economy. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Business New Construction targeted market initiative: 

• Efficiency Vermont increased application of Core Performance on midsized 

projects, tying integrated design with green building trends. Core Performance is a 

nationally recognized program targeting high performance in new construction 

through a simplified checklist of required measures. 

• More than 20 projects were enrolled or participating toward Core Performance 

goals, with eight to 10 completing, or in the process of achieving, certification. 

• Efficiency Vermont launched LED workshops for architectural firms, to begin 

moving the new construction market toward greater implementation of this 

advanced technology. 

• Despite the market downturn in new construction and major renovation, 

Efficiency Vermont increased project enrollments and achieved a level of savings 

similar to those attained in 2008. Efficiency Vermont achieved 8,600 MWh in 

savings from 246 projects (compared to 8,800 MWh of savings from 186 projects 

in 2008). The number of prescriptive projects increased by 65% in 2009. 

Colleges and Universities 

Vermont’s 25 colleges and universities account for 140,000 MWh, or 2.7%, of the state’s 

total annual energy use. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Colleges and Universities initiative: 

• Approximately 40 projects at 17 institutions that achieved a total savings of 2,200 

MWh. 

• A major renovation and upgrade of a college’s heating and ventilation systems, 

resulting in more than 400,000 kWh in annual savings. 

• Assistance in the design and review stages of the major renovation and new 

construction of a campus center designed, built, and operated to meet the energy 

and environmental standards of the Green Building Council. It has applied for 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 15 

LEED Silver designation. Energy savings are estimated at nearly 300,000 kWh 

annually, compared to what a similar building would consume if built according 

to conventional standards. 

• Deployment of successful Account Management strategies, increasing Efficiency 

Vermont’s access to institutional decision makers. 

Convenience Stores 

Through the Convenience Stores initiative, Efficiency Vermont works with chain 

convenience stores throughout Vermont. These businesses have long hours of operation 

and present savings opportunities in lighting, refrigeration, HVAC, and food service. In 

2009, Efficiency Vermont assisted in projects at 218 stores operated by 11 chains. 

Combined savings in energy use are estimated to be 42,000 MWh annually. 

This is a market that has an impact on the state’s economy through sales at the gas pump. 

That is, convenience stores attract customers in any economy, because they offer gasoline. 

Despite small profit margins, intense competition, and limited access to capital, this 

market can be characterized as stable, but showing notable growth, as indicated by new 

construction and the acquisition of existing facilities. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Convenience Stores initiative: 

• 21 projects yielded 370 MWh in savings, a slight increase over 2008. LEDs for 

refrigerated cases, a new technology promoted within the initiative, played a role 

in bringing about these results. 

• Customer case study: As part of Efficiency Vermont’s ongoing efforts to educate 

customers and encourage them to adopt cost-effective technologies, Efficiency 

Vermont conducted a demonstration of an outside-air economizer with a 

convenience store owner who did not believe in the technology. The customer has 

been pleased with the results. 

• Efficiency Vermont successfully recruited 77 convenience stores to become 

Efficiency Vermont retail partners, expanding the number of points of sale at 

which efficient products are available to consumers. 

Dairy Farms and Agriculture 

The significant economic challenges faced by dairy farms and other agricultural 

businesses in 2009 have meant that reducing costs is of critical importance. Efficiency 

Vermont works closely with Vermont agricultural producers, especially dairy farmers, to 

help reduce their energy costs. These reductions are particularly important for farmers 

who lack access to capital or to the objective technical information and economic analysis 

they need in order to make cost-effective decisions about energy use. 

As of the 2007 census, there were 6,984 farms in Vermont, including 1,219 dairy farms, 

representing a total market value of $673.7 million. In 2009, the dairy farm sector was 

shrinking while there was an increase in farms focused on products from milk-producing 

animals other than cows. Also growing were the numbers of horse farms, riding arenas, 

and hobby-style agricultural enterprises — especially produce, beekeeping, and maple 

sugaring operations. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 16 

Efficiency Vermont works directly with farmers, vendors, and partners such as the 

Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont and the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture. Efficiency Vermont’s face-to-face interactions with farmers are key to its 

effectiveness, as are strong relationships with vendors, who are a solid source of project 

leads and who provide necessary data and equipment quotes. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Dairy Farms and Agriculture initiative: 

• Performed and completed a variable-frequency drive (VFD) pilot for maple-sap 

pumps. Results revealed that cost-effective energy savings with a VFD, compared 

to continual pump operation during sugaring season, warranted certain financial 

incentives for selected situations. 

• Completed more than 80 projects, with a combined savings of 775 MWh, despite 

a very hard economic year for farmers. Efficiency Vermont attributes much of this 

participation to the dairy farm loan program, which provides easy access to 

financing for dairy farms through loans guaranteed by Efficiency Vermont. 

• Breakthroughs with Long-Day Lighting (LDL) techniques at maple sugaring 

operations and dairy farms. Maple farmers and dairy farmers began in 2009 to 

take an interest in Efficiency Vermont’s involvement in Long-Day Lighting (LDL) 

projects. These projects have a high potential for savings because LDL systems, 

which enable higher milk production via longer lighting hours and provide an 

alternative to the use of artificial hormones, can significantly increase electrical 

use. Efficiency Vermont has been actively working with farmers interested in LDL 

systems to inform them about efficient lighting approaches that minimize 

electrical impact. 

Existing Homes 

The Residential Existing Homes initiative is focused on improving efficiency in Vermont’s 

212,000 single-family homes, which collectively use approximately 1,272,000 MWh of 

energy per year. The initiative focuses on the promotion of Home Performance with 

ENERGY STAR services. Efficiency Vermont’s efforts include partnering with the 

Building Performance Institute (BPI) for contractor training and certification, as well as 

providing rebates and extensive marketing outreach to support contractors and to 

motivate homeowners to participate. With the assistance of RGGI and FCM revenues, 

these services provide savings opportunities for both electric measures and non-electric 

measures such as heating system replacement. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Residential Existing Homes initiative: 

• Residential retrofit services resulted in 1,000 MWh of savings (excluding projects 

completed through the weatherization assistance program, noted below). 

• Contractors reported approximately 500 completed Home Performance with 

ENERGY STAR projects, up 67% from 2008. 

• 225 of the completed projects were in Green Mountain Power Corporation 

territory and 70 were unregulated fuels jobs for moderate-income Vermonters. 

• Efficiency Vermont developed a new incentive structure and introduced it to 

contractors for rollout in 2010. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 17 

• Two BPI trainings were held, with a total of 20 new contractors trained. At the end 

of 2009, more than 70 Home Performance contractors representing more than 50 

businesses were BPI certified and actively participating — an 80% increase over 

2008. 

• Partnerships with weatherization agencies resulted in the completion of 1,085 

projects, saving 1,000 MWh. 

• The Vermont Community Energy Mobilization pilot resulted in 660 households’ 

saving a combined total of 330 MWh. 

Grocery Stores 

The Grocery Stores initiative targets large stores, which provide significant opportunities 

for energy savings in lighting, refrigeration, HVAC, and food preparation. This market is 

made up of 51 large grocery stores (each at least 45,000 square feet) operated by three 

chains, and approximately 275 midsized grocery stores, small-town markets, and general 

stores of between 2,500 and 15,000 square feet. Average annual energy use per store is 

2,200 MWh for chain stores and approximately 1,000 MWh for the others. 

Economic conditions have a strong impact on this industry, which has very small profit 

margins — typically between 2% and 3%. In the weak 2009 economy, some large chains 

did very well, although others were at risk of closing. Many companies were less able to 

put money into capital improvements and energy efficiency projects, resulting in a 

significant decrease in savings for 2009. Despite these conditions, companies recognized 

the impact of energy use on their bottom line, and thus welcomed Efficiency Vermont to 

help assess projects that could save energy and money. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Grocery Store initiative: 

• In a major milestone for this market, a chain store invited Efficiency Vermont to 

participate in a design team meeting for a new construction project. 

• Efficiency Vermont strengthened its working partnership with the Vermont 

Grocers’ Association, in support of a new initiative to serve midsized and 

independent grocery stores. 

• Efficiency Vermont influenced a redesign of lighting to obtain deeper savings in a 

large supermarket in a winter peak Geographic Targeting area. 

Hospitals 

Efficiency Vermont continues to maintain and develop relationships with hospitals and 

health-care facilities throughout the state. It is estimated that the top 15 facilities use a 

total of 75,000 MWh annually. The potential for increasing efficiency within this market 

is high, largely because the buildings are in constant use. It is currently projected that 15–

20% of energy use in this market can be eliminated. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Hospitals initiative: 

• A campus-wide lighting retrofit project was completed at Rutland Regional 

Medical Center, resulting in 870 MWh savings. This project was featured in the 

2009 Efficiency Vermont Highlights publication. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 18 

• A total of 230 MWh was saved as part of a lighting retrofit project at a hospital in 

southern Vermont. 

• Overall savings of 3,600 MWh were achieved in hospitals; this was 140% over the 

2009 target (1,500 MWh) and 50% over Efficiency Vermont’s 2008 savings in this 

market, much of it in Geographic Targeting areas. 

K–12 Schools 

Vermont’s 400-plus public and private schools use an estimated annual total of 100,000 

MWh. In addition to managing the ongoing challenge of shrinking budgets, districts 

seeking to reduce energy costs sometimes require assistance to develop and oversee large 

energy efficiency projects. With these issues in mind, Efficiency Vermont addressed its K–

12 Schools initiative by focusing on educating stakeholders about the potential for future 

savings, how to secure financing, and how to assemble a team and proceed with project 

development. 

Highlights in 2009 for the K–12 Schools initiative: 

• 3,600 MWh were saved through the completion of approximately 120 projects in 

94 schools. 

• Through the Lighting Plus program, Efficiency Vermont achieved savings of 1,300 

MWh and 190 kW reduction in winter peak demand and 350 kW reduction in 

summer peak demand in schools within the Geographic Targeting area. 

• Efficiency Vermont engaged with facility managers to educate them on the process 

of project development. 

• Through consultative and collaborative discussions, Efficiency Vermont 

strengthened relationships with the Vermont Department of Education and 

statewide K–12 associations such as the Vermont Principals Association, Vermont 

Superintendents Association, Vermont School Boards Association, and Vermont 

Association of School Business Officials. 

Multifamily Housing 

Efficiency Vermont’s initiative for Multifamily Housing focuses on market challenges 

such as limited cash flow, split incentives between owners and tenants, and other 

ownership and tenancy complexities of multifamily buildings. There are approximately 

70,000 multifamily rental units in Vermont. Annual electric usage in this market, 

statewide, is estimated to be 420,000 MWh. Efficiency Vermont’s effectiveness in serving 

this market relies on its relationships and partnering efforts with nonprofit housing 

entities and weatherization agencies, as well as with for-profit owners through Vermont’s 

two property owner associations. Although Efficiency Vermont’s efforts in the nonprofit 

sector focus on comprehensive new construction and major retrofit projects, service in 

the for-profit sector is primarily focused on retrofit opportunities and efficient product 

usage serviced through Efficiency Vermont’s Rental Property Owner Rebate Application. 

Efficiency Vermont coordinates with the state’s weatherization agencies to improve 

electrical efficiency in affordable housing through measures such as efficient lighting, 

refrigeration, ventilation, and water conservation. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 19 

Highlights in 2009 for the Multifamily Housing initiative: 

• Efficiency Vermont began work as a supporting partner with the Vermont 

Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) in a project to develop a "road map to 

permanently affordable multifamily housing." VHCB is receiving funding for the 

project through a MacArthur Foundation grant. The project approach seeks to 

demonstrate that deep retrofit savings can be achieved in affordable multifamily 

units, supporting long-term energy cost stability and increasing long-term 

affordability. 

• The number of completed projects was down 25% in 2009 from 2008, and energy 

savings, totaling 1,750 MWh, were down 60% from 2008. This is due in part to a 

decrease in fuel-switching opportunities in 2009; in past years, very large fuelswitching projects contributed significantly to savings in this market. 

• Efficiency Vermont expanded service to include metering and incentives for new 

variable-speed pumps for smaller boiler systems. 

• Efficiency Vermont coordinated with the Central Vermont Community Action 

Council’s Vermont Fuel Efficiency Partnership unregulated fuels program to 

provide electrical savings in multifamily housing. 

• Building on its partnership with the state’s weatherization agencies, Efficiency 

Vermont expanded its low-income single-family services into larger multifamily 

facilities. This enables the weatherization agencies to directly provide lighting and 

refrigeration improvements in the multifamily buildings they serve.

Residential New Construction 

This initiative focuses on direct service to builders and homeowners, with the purpose of 

acquiring savings by increasing the efficiency of homes at the time of construction. In 

2009, this market consisted of 1,028 one-unit to four-unit new homes receiving permits 

in Vermont. Efficiency Vermont’s ENERGY STAR Homes (VESH) service reached 30% 

of the market. The primary electrical savings opportunities in this market are through 

CFLs and a small amount of appliance savings, plus some HVAC efficiencies resulting 

from tighter building shells. Thermal savings make up the larger piece of the pie and are 

due to insulation and air sealing, as well as efficient HVAC systems. Due to the 2009 

slump in the real estate market, some homebuilders shifted their focus away from new 

construction to remodeling, energy audits, and other activities within the construction 

industry. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Residential New Construction initiative: 

• VESH market penetration increased statewide: in 2008, 23% of homes built had 

energy ratings performed through VESH, and that number increased to 30% in 

2009. (Market penetration numbers assume a two-year permit-to-completion 

cycle, using 2009 completions relative to 2008 building permits.) 

• Efficiency Vermont added 42 builders to the Efficiency Vermont Builder List. 

• Efficiency Vermont developed a new partnership with Vermont Habitat for 

Humanity to explore different approaches for building Habitat homes to Passive 

House standard, the most rigorous energy standard for low-load homes. The 

project aim is to demonstrate that the Passive House standard can be met 

affordably in Vermont and to provide Efficiency Vermont with more experience 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 20 

and learning related to the standard, which features savings of 60–70% compared 

to baseline new construction standards. Two designs will be used for three houses, 

and it is hoped that both designs will meet the Passive House standards. These will 

be the first Habitat Passive Houses built in the nation, as well as the first Passive 

Houses in Vermont. 

Retail Chain Facilities 

This initiative focuses on obtaining savings in retail chain facilities through assistance 

with efficient approaches to new construction, renovations, and equipment. Of the 

approximately 200 retail chain stores in the state, this initiative focuses on the top 19 

energy users. The combined annual energy use among these 19 stores is 19,000 MWh. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Retail Chain Facilities initiative: 

• Efficiency Vermont continued to develop and maintain working relationships 

with key players in the 19 target chain stores, with an aim to expand participation 

beyond prescriptive rebates and obtain more comprehensive custom projects. 

• 25 projects in 24 facilities yielded 1,300 MWh savings and demand reductions of 

140 kW in winter peak and 270 kW in summer peak. 

Ski Areas 

Ski areas represent an important sector of Vermont’s economy, generating $750 million 

in direct spending plus $700 million in indirect spending. The market is composed of 20 

alpine ski areas and 30 cross-country areas. Total electrical usage in Vermont for this 

market is 125,000 MWh. Efficiency Vermont takes a customized approach to working 

with the state’s ski areas to meet their unique energy efficiency needs. Efficiency Vermont 

continued its active partnership with the Vermont Ski Areas Association to deepen the 

level of engagement with these customers. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Ski Areas initiative: 

• Efficiency Vermont identified significant new energy-saving opportunities in 

snowmaking (the biggest single source of energy use for resorts), including 

condensate drains and water orifice overflows. 

• Despite the weak economy, the number of completed projects met the Efficiency 

Vermont 10-year average. These projects were smaller than the average, however. 

Electricity savings in 2009 totaled 480 MWh, down 80% compared to 2008, as ski 

areas put off large capital improvements. 

• Efficiency Vermont projects in ski areas reduced winter peak demand by 80 kW. 

• Efficiency Vermont published the results of snow gun testing begun in 2008 and 

distributed the results to all alpine ski areas. 

State Buildings 

The State of Vermont maintains a diverse portfolio of buildings that encompass 

approximately 8.2 million square feet, statewide. These buildings offer a wide range of 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 21 

energy efficiency opportunities and challenges. Annual energy use for this market is 

64,000 MWh, or 1.3% of Vermont’s total energy use, excluding Burlington. Efficiency 

Vermont works closely with the Department of Buildings and General Services and other 

state agencies to take advantage of savings opportunities and to help save money for 

Vermont taxpayers. 

 

Highlights in 2009 for the State Buildings initiative: 

• Efficiency Vermont deepened its efforts to provide targeted technical assistance 

and financial analysis to support the State’s decision making for installing energy 

efficiency measures. Results were particularly evident in the State’s increased use 

of the Revolving Fund for energy efficiency projects. The Fund is available for 

projects outside the Major Maintenance budget. 

• In an economy that resulted in budget challenges for every state agency, the State 

realized approximately 3,100 MWh of first-year annualized savings through 

approximately 50 projects at 19 facilities completed with Efficiency Vermont in 

2009. A large portion of these savings resulted from the performance contract that 

Efficiency Vermont facilitated at the Waterbury complex and the 133 State Street 

complex. 

Water and Wastewater 

There are approximately 97 municipal wastewater treatment plants and more than 1,000 

water supply systems in Vermont. Taken together, they account for 47,587 MWh in 

annual electric use. Efficiency upgrades were down from 2008, due in part to an industrywide focus on environmental upgrades, which were driven by funding from the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

Highlights in 2009 for the Water and Wastewater initiative: 

• 17 projects in 11 facilities, totaling 500 MWh in electric savings, were completed 

in 2009. 

• Efficiency Vermont led the nation in testing new turbo-blower technology, which 

is now installed in nine facilities across Vermont. 

• Efficiency Vermont conducted a “Pump Systems Matter” training session for 

wastewater treatment operators in partnership with the Vermont Rural Water 

Association. 

Technology-Based Initiatives 

HVAC and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) 

This initiative supports Vermont businesses seeking to reduce the energy consumption of 

their heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Heating systems that rely primarily on 

fuels other than electricity can still include components that consume significant amounts 

of electricity, such as blower fans. The HVAC market in Vermont is composed of 10 to 15 

major equipment suppliers and 30 to 40 midsized to large contractors. Overall activity in 

this sector dropped in 2009, reflecting the general reduction in new construction and 

renovation activity. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 22 

In the current economic climate, with both HVAC and refrigeration, many building 

owners are opting to invest in equipment maintenance instead of purchasing new 

equipment. However, significant improvements in operating costs and cash flow have 

motivated some customers to make the investment in efficient equipment. 

In 2009, Efficiency Vermont established the Northeast’s first upstream HVAC initiative, 

based on a pilot undertaken in 2008. This initiative enabled Efficiency Vermont to create 

deeper relationships with HVAC distributors and suppliers, and create lasting and 

meaningful partnerships. Because end-use customers often have a difficult time 

understanding HVAC options, Efficiency Vermont worked with its distributor and 

supplier partners to help them explain to their customers the options available for 

purchasing high-efficiency equipment that produces significant increases in savings. 

In an effort to identify new areas of refrigeration savings, Efficiency Vermont researched 

savings potential for working with vending machine distributors to replace existing 

equipment with ENERGY STAR equipment. Research revealed that the market had a low 

potential for savings, however, so this initiative was not pursued. 

Highlights in 2009 for the HVAC-R targeted market initiative: 

• Savings from the HVAC upstream initiative increased over 2008 savings through 

partner submissions, even though total sales of equipment were down. 

• Upstream HVAC savings increased from 190 MWh in 2008 to 630 MWh in 2009. 

• Developed a rebate program for commercial boiler and furnaces to launch in 

January 2010, as part of its unregulated fuels initiatives funded with FCM and 

RGGI revenues. 

• Completed 121 refrigeration projects with a total savings of 291 MWh. 

• Continued outreach and meetings with refrigeration suppliers and mechanical 

contractors. 

Lighting 

This initiative targets commercial lighting, one of the most significant areas for savings 

opportunities. Efficiency Vermont uses innovative programs, including direct installation 

and upstream marketing partnerships with supply chain partners, to maximize lightingrelated energy savings. Efficiency Vermont works with approximately 10 to 15 

manufacturers, 25 distributors, and 300 contractors in this market. 

Although the slow economy has discouraged some investment in lighting projects, new 

areas of opportunity continued to emerge in 2009. Specific technologies such as highperformance T8 linear fluorescent lighting, replacement of high-bay lighting systems, and 

strong interest in LED lighting applications represent significant new trends. Aggressive 

codes and standards continue to drive higher baselines for lighting products. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 23 

Highlights in 2009 for the Lighting initiative: 

• Lighting Plus initiative 

o This initiative serves small and midsized businesses in Geographic 

Targeting areas, where Efficiency Vermont achieved 5,800 MWh in electric 

savings and a 1 MW reduction in winter peak demand and a 1.6 MW 

reduction in summer peak demand in 2009. 

o Geographic Targeting expanded to include the Rutland area in 2009. 

Lighting Plus invested approximately 67% of its staff and resources in the 

Rutland area during 2009. 

o To maximize value for Vermont ratepayers, Efficiency Vermont changed 

its incentive structure from 100% payment of costs to approximately 80%, 

by instituting an 18-month payback requirement. 

• Lighting Education initiative: 

o Hosted five LED workshops (one each in Burlington, Berlin, St. Johnsbury, 

Rutland, and Bennington) targeting contractors and suppliers; 128 lighting 

partners attended. 

o Held four targeted LED training sessions for design professionals at 

various architecture and engineering firms. 

o Arranged and offered a two-day Daylighting Controls workshop, held in 

Burlington and Rutland, and taught by specialists from the Lighting 

Research Center at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The workshop was 

attended by 68 design professionals. 

• High-Performance Partners initiative: 

o SMARTLIGHT program savings increased from 370 MWh in 2008 to 

1,440 MWh in 2009. This was a 290% increase in savings, while program 

costs increased by only 10% over the same period. Efficiency Vermont 

attributes much of this success to the fact that it directly connected its 

services with distributor profits. 

o Efficiency Vermont made changes to SMARTLIGHT-eligible products to 

target specific technologies (reduced wattage and halogen infrared lamps) 

that have had little uptake in the marketplace thus far. The change resulted 

in significantly increased availability and sales of the targeted technologies 

through participating partners. 

o Installations of reduced-wattage lamps increased from approximately 

12,000 units in 2008 to 48,000 in 2009, with savings increasing from 300 

MWh to 1,200 MWh during that period. Halogen infrared installations 

increased from 1,100 in 2008 to 2,300 in 2009, with savings increasing 

from 65 MWh to 195 MWh during that period. 

o Efficiency Vermont tapped a new niche for reduced-wattage T8 lamp-only 

retrofits. 

• LED Lighting initiative: 

o Efficiency Vermont is playing a leading role in successfully introducing 

LED technology to the marketplace. LED technology offers an exciting 

new opportunity to reduce lighting energy costs. In 2009, Efficiency 

Vermont saw its first significant savings resulting from its support of the 

technology. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 24 

o LED installations increased from 500 measures in 2008 to 1,800 measures 

in 2009. LED savings increased from 70 MWh in 2008 to 430 MWh in 

2009. 

o Efficiency Vermont completed 26 projects using LED products in 2009. 

o Efficiency Vermont introduced its first prescriptive incentives for a suite of 

LED product types. 

o Efficiency Vermont tapped two specific submarkets for LED lighting: 

interior LED downlights and street / parking lot lighting. Exterior lighting 

has often been left out of efficiency projects because there are few costeffective options for upgrades of existing technology. However, LED has 

changed the game, enabling greater inclusion of efficient exterior lighting. 

Retail Efficient Products 

The Retail Efficient Products initiative is designed to capture energy savings through a 

focus on product availability and affordability in Vermont retail stores and on end-user 

product awareness. Efficiency Vermont’s efforts include aggressive marketing, point-ofpurchase education, and joint promotions with its upstream partners. 

Historically, Efficiency Vermont has focused much of its effort in this sector on 

promotion of standard CFLs, and Vermont leads the nation in penetration of CFLs per 

household. Although that remains an important area of emphasis thanks to continued 

market potential and high cost-effectiveness, Efficiency Vermont is increasingly looking 

for savings opportunities in new areas, such as specialty CFLs, advanced power strips, and 

second refrigerator retirement. 

Highlights in 2009 for the Retail Efficient Products initiative: 

• Standard CFLs: 

o After a slow start, sales of standard CFLs improved over the course of 2009. 

Factors that likely contributed to this improvement included an improving 

economy; new television advertising and promotion; and the addition of 

more than 80 new retail outlets, such as gas stations and convenience 

chains, as sales partners. 

o Over the course of 2009, CFL sales increased from 150,000 in the first 

quarter to 200,000 in the fourth quarter. 

• Specialty CFLs: 

o With the high penetration of conventional CFLs in the residential market, 

Efficiency Vermont launched a major shift in strategy in 2009 to increase 

sales of specialty CFLs, which serve consumer needs not met by 

conventional CFLs. 

o Efficiency Vermont increased product quality and performance in areas 

such as dimmability, and supported deeper penetration of specialty CFLs 

in the lighting market. 

o Efficiency Vermont successfully worked with retailers to bring additional 

specialty CFLs into their stores, despite the fact that these products are 

more expensive, and retailers had to give up shelf space to accommodate 

the new products. Efficiency Vermont also refocused its lighting campaign 

on specialty CFLs. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 25 

• Vermont Foodbank CFL promotion: 

o Efficiency Vermont provided approximately 15,000 CFLs to the Vermont 

Foodbank network in the spring of 2009. Because of the popularity of the 

promotion, Efficiency Vermont provided an additional 15,000 CFLs in the 

fall. This resulted in 1,300 MWh in 2009 savings. 

o In addition to providing economic benefits for low-income Vermonters, 

the promotion resulted in a high level of publicity and awareness for 

Efficiency Vermont services, with numerous radio, newspaper, and 

television stories resulting. 

• Second refrigerator retirement: 

o Many Vermont households maintain a second refrigerator. Typically these 

units are older and less efficient than the household’s primary refrigerator. 

Efficiency Vermont launched a pilot program in 2009 to collect and recycle 

these units. Participating customers were provided with free pickup and 

recycling of their unit, in addition to a modest incentive. The pilot focused 

on Geographic Targeting areas and major transportation corridors. 

o The pilot program resulted in the collection of 950 refrigerators and 

freezers in 2009, and is to be expanded in 2010 to a statewide service. 

• Efficiency Vermont developed instant coupons and joint promotions with its 

retail partners to promote advanced power strips, which can help consumers easily 

reduce “phantom load” from electronics that are in constant “on” or “standby” 

mode. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 26 

1.6 Geographic Targeting Services and Initiatives 

The configuration of Geographic Targeting areas shifted in 2009, as a result of a Board 

order. The Newport area was eliminated; the Rutland area was added; and a number of 

adjustments were made in the GMP Chittenden area. 

The Board has continued to provide significant resources for Geographic Targeting 

services to help relieve the electric load on constrained transmission and distribution 

systems. In 2009, the $28.3 million Efficiency Vermont budget included $12.2 million for 

Geographic Targeting services. 

In addition to reporting statewide reductions in winter peak and summer peak demand, 

Efficiency Vermont reports these reductions within Geographic Targeting areas. In 2009, 

Efficiency Vermont helped customers in Geographic Targeting areas achieve winter peak 

demand savings of 5.1 MW and summer peak demand savings of 5 MW. Efficiency 

Vermont results in Geographic Targeting regions were relatively strong, with 2009 savings 

accounting for 50% of summer MW three-year performance goals and 40% of the winter 

MW three-year performance goals. 

Significant changes were made to the Lighting Plus service, including a new mechanism 

for turnkey financing. This initiative is described on page 12. Community-based 

initiatives, described on page 10, continued to play an important role in Efficiency 

Vermont’s Geographic Targeting strategy. 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 27 

1.7 Unregulated Fuels Services and Activities 

Efficiency Vermont began providing unregulated fuels services in 2009, with initial 

spending authorized in late 2008 with available FCM revenues. Service offerings included 

enhanced incentives for Home Performance with ENERGY STAR projects in middleincome households. These projects resulted in savings of approximately 40 MWh and 

2,500 MMBtu for approximately 70 households. Other service offerings were the 

Vermont Community Energy Mobilization program (described in detail on page 11); 

training sessions for Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors; and incentives 

for the replacement of old and inefficient heating systems. 

As authorized by the Legislature in May 2009, revenues from RGGI were directed to 

Efficiency Vermont for efficiency measures using unregulated fuels. Goals and budgets for 

this funding were finalized in November 2009. Efficiency Vermont designed additional 

services for these new resources in both the residential and business sectors, with a focus 

on comprehensiveness and integration with existing Efficiency Vermont services. Funds 

were consistent with Vermont fuel usage data, with 75% dedicated to residential 

customers and 25% to business customers. 

Performance in unregulated fuels services is measured in thermal savings (expressed in 

MMBtu) rather than electric energy (kWh). Other performance indicators for 

unregulated fuels activity measure air leakage reduction, square footage of added 

insulation, and comprehensive treatment of projects involving building shell and heating 

system measures. 

FCM and RGGI resources enhance the ability of Efficiency Vermont to offer 

comprehensive, “one-stop shop” services and incentives to Vermont customers, for both 

electric and thermal efficiency measures. This seamless delivery of services helps 

customers easily access the information and resources that will help them reduce their 

energy costs. 

 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 28 

1.8 Additional Efficiency Vermont Services and Activities 

Above and beyond the direct services provided to customers in the residential and 

business markets, Efficiency Vermont has developed other capacities that support its 

ability to meet its contract requirements and Performance Objectives. 

Marketing 

Marketing supports Efficiency Vermont activity by aligning its resources to the 

performance goals of the Efficiency Vermont contract. Designed to support marketspecific resource acquisition and market transformation goals, marketing and consumer 

information strategies and communications provide information intended to motivate 

consumers to participate in energy efficiency activity. 

Efficiency Vermont has developed advanced and effective marketing and education 

functions to inform Vermont ratepayers of the value of energy efficiency and the 

opportunities for participation through Efficiency Vermont. Marketing and education 

efforts are designed to increase general awareness and understanding of energy efficiency, 

to create consumer demand, and to support market transformation. Efficiency Vermont 

focuses heavily on customer-focused energy efficiency stories, case studies, and 

testimonials in the media. 

In addition, Efficiency Vermont reaches customers through targeted advertising; 

information booths and displays at community events; and communication efforts such 

as volunteering to speak at public events, providing invited speakers for call-in radio and 

television shows, producing information columns (for example, “Ask the Home Team”), 

maintaining the Efficiency Vermont web site, and developing newsletters and other 

publications. 

Highlights for 2009 Efficiency Vermont services in marketing: 

 

• Publication or broadcast of 704 stories featuring Efficiency Vermont customers. 

• Efficiency Vermont ran print advertisements in community and daily papers in 

Geographic Targeting areas featuring “key influencers” and promoting CFLs, 

advanced power strips, and the second refrigerator retirement initiative — 

through which 950 refrigerators and freezers were picked up and properly 

disposed of. 

• Continued to build the number of web visits through search engine optimization 

and increased media-to-web advertising. In 2009, www.efficiencyvermont.com 

received 499,464 visits, a 25% increase in web site traffic over 2008 (an increase of 

100,000 site visits). 

• Continued to increase the audience for the residential e-newsletter “Watts New.” 

In 2009, the monthly e-mail was distributed to 1,700 readers, and averaged an 

extremely high open rate of 45% (compared to the average open rate of 

commercial e-mail of approximately 25%). In addition, in November 2009, a 

“Contractor News” e-mail newsletter was launched and distributed to 89 Home 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 29 

Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors; the open rate for that piece 

averaged 51%. 

• Leveraged the power of social media to raise awareness of Efficiency Vermont 

services by launching an interactive Facebook fan page with engaging content and 

regular communications. The Efficiency Vermont Facebook page focuses 

primarily on residential energy (70% of content), with small business as a 

secondary focus (30% of content). 

• Launched an integrated Residential Energy Services marketing campaign to 

strategically support Efficiency Vermont’s goal of saving kWh through efficient 

products and Home Performance with ENERGY STAR. The communications 

objectives of the campaign are to: 1) Encourage Vermont residents who are 

“efficiency engaged” to take an energy efficiency action; and 2) reinforce how 

Efficiency Vermont helps customers plan their next action in energy efficiency. 

The campaign theme is “Energy saved is money saved,” and it was integrated in all 

print, TV, and point-of-purchase materials, and in digital advertising. 

• Premiered two new television advertisements in October 2009 to promote the 

benefits and encourage the sales of specialty CFLs. The messaging targets various 

uses of the bulbs (for example, they work indoors and outdoors), as well as the 

variety of shapes and sizes available. This messaging was also leveraged in digital 

banner ads, Google AdWords, and print ads in daily and community papers. 

Better Buildings by Design Conference 

Efficiency Vermont conducted the 11th annual Better Buildings by Design conference in 

February 2009. Targeting regional design professionals and contractors, the 2009 

conference presented new ideas and technologies; provided a road map on how to take 

energy efficiency from concept to application; and provided information on leveraging 

energy efficiency to sustain or improve businesses. 

The 2009 conference attracted more than 1,100 participants, 37% of whom were firsttime attendees. One of the conference’s primary challenges relates to finding and securing 

adequate capacity for the event. As the popularity of the event has grown, it has become 

increasingly difficult to provide an optimal experience for the large number of attendees, 

with meeting rooms full to capacity and limited parking at the Sheraton Hotel and 

Conference Center site in Burlington. 

Participant feedback for the 2009 conference was generally very positive. Of the attendees 

who completed feedback forms, 95% rated the conference as “good” or “better” in 

“exposure to new ideas” and “information on how to apply energy efficiency concepts in 

your work.” 

Customer Service 

In 2009, call tracking activity was, for the first time, broken into inbound and outbound 

calls. There was a slight decline in total inbound calls compared to 2008. There was, 

however, a 10% increase in managed calls, or those that required personal, consultative 

assistance. Efficiency Vermont recorded the highest call volume in October, historically 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 30 

the busiest month of the year. March and April were the next-busiest months owing to 

customer inquiries relating to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

In 2009, residential customers sought information — in equal proportion — on how to 

reduce electric and fossil fuel use. Commercial customers were predominantly concerned 

with electrical savings. Customer Service also recorded a significant increase in inquiries 

pertaining to renewable energy, from broad-based questions about overall viability to 

requests for financial resources and information about solar contractors. 

The call center initiated outbound calling for the first time, in support of community 

outreach programs, residential programs, and ARRA-funded programs. These calls 

accounted for a small but growing portion of overall call activity. Residential customers 

were contacted to determine their interest in Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 

and participation in heating equipment incentives. The call center also contacted 

municipalities about federal Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant opportunities 

available under ARRA. 

Efficiency Vermont’s meter loan service continued to grow in 2009. This service provides 

an electric metering device to customers, free of charge and with telephone support, for 

up to three weeks. It helps to make energy use clearer, resulting in better consumer 

decisions because informed customers are less inclined to misallocate their savings efforts. 

Total meter loans increased 80% to 658, up from 366 in 2008 and 160 in 2007. 

Customer complaints and feedback relative to Efficiency Vermont’s efforts are managed 

within the Customer Service department. Information is recorded and reported quarterly 

for program managers. In 2009, Customer Service introduced an internal, online 

reporting tool, resulting in a significant decrease in the amount of time required to 

resolve complaints, from 11 days to four days. A weekly tracking tool was also put in 

place, allowing Efficiency Vermont staff more immediate access to program feedback. 

Significant resources were put into training and development of Customer Service staff in 

2009. Efficiency Vermont is often the most visible point of contact for Vermonters with 

energy-related questions. In 2009, two customer service staff members carried a Certified 

Energy Manager credential and all staff underwent weatherization certification. 

Additionally, internal training sessions for specific commercial applications such as 

HVAC, lighting, and motors were held regularly throughout the year. 

Information Technology 

Efficiency Vermont’s information technology continued to develop and enhance 

applications that support staff and promote greater efficiency and improved customer 

service. In 2009 the Information Technology department continued to provide core 

services such as data quality assurance and reporting, and to make many improvements to 

custom-developed software. 

A new reporting warehouse and set of data cubes (structures that allow rapid analysis of 

data) were developed to simplify and reduce the cost of providing internal and external 

reporting. The Efficiency Vermont core data tracking application (KITT Plus) added 

enhancements to allow for the improved tracking of projects in their earliest phases. In 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 31 

addition, new tools enabled improved tracking of customer calls and e-mails by customer 

service, enhancements were made to the integrated prescriptive measure entry tool 

designed to improve the accuracy of data entered, and document storage and generation 

were improved. These and other changes have resulted in reduced data entry time and 

increased the accuracy of information for staff throughout Efficiency Vermont. 

Forward Capacity Market Participation 

In 2009, VEIC, the Efficiency Vermont contractor, continued to claim the electric 

capacity savings from Efficiency Vermont activity, and bid it into ISO New England’s 

Forward Capacity Market (FCM), generating approximately $2.1 million in net revenues. 

These funds support efficiency initiatives for unregulated heating and process fuels. With 

a commitment of 49 MW of generation-equivalent peak system capacity, Efficiency 

Vermont will enter the 2010–2011 commitment period as the third-largest individual 

source of FCM capacity in the state, trailing only Vermont Yankee and Burlington Electric 

Department’s McNeil Generating Station. 

VEIC continued to participate in the FCM on behalf of Efficiency Vermont in the 

following ways: 

• Filed monthly claims of capacity savings under rules covering the current 

transition period through May 2010. 

• Efficiency Vermont activity in 2009 was on track to meet the obligation of 

approximately 39 MW of at-the-meter capacity, as of June 2010, the beginning of 

the first commitment period. That commitment will increase to approximately 48 

MW in June 2011 and approximately 55 MW in June 2012. 

• Submitted a qualifications package for 21.1 MW of new capacity that will be 

offered into the fourth Forward Capacity Auction (additional capacity to be 

delivered starting in June 2013). The auction for this capacity period will take 

place in August 2010. 

• Submitted a show of interest for 20.0 MW of new capacity to offer for the fifth 

Forward Capacity Auction (additional capacity to be delivered starting in June 

2014). Qualification materials for this offer will be due in October 2010; the 

auction for this capacity period will take place in June 2011. 

• Continued to participate in ISO New England committees and policy-setting 

activities, voting on behalf of Vermont ratepayers. 

Building Energy Code Support 

Efficiency Vermont actively supported the State’s work to update both residential and 

commercial building energy standards (RBES and CBES). ARRA included a requirement 

that in order for Vermont to receive certain energy-related ARRA funds, it had to certify 

its intention to update these codes and provide a plan for achieving 90% code compliance 

by 2017. 

For the RBES update, Efficiency Vermont was an active participant in a stakeholder 

process led by the Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS). This process is expected 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 32 

to result in an administrative rules filing by the DPS in the fall of 2010 to update 

Vermont’s residential code to be consistent with IECC 2009. 

Efficiency Vermont has also been an active participant in updating the commercial code 

(CBES) to ASHRAE 2007, similarly through a DPS-led stakeholder process. 

In the near future, Vermont will face significant challenges in meeting its 90% code 

compliance commitment. Most of Vermont has no effective energy code enforcement 

mechanism currently in place. As provided for in the 2009 law known as Act 45, Vermont 

is to have a compliance plan in place by September 2011, and active training and 

enforcement systems in place by June 2012. Efficiency Vermont will continue to work 

closely with the DPS and other stakeholders in developing strategies to address this issue. 

 

Collaboration with Regional and National Partners 

In 2009, Efficiency Vermont worked closely with regional and national partners to share 

information and leverage ratepayer resources to address common needs. As in the past, 

Efficiency Vermont was an active participant in Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships 

(NEEP) programs, including those for high-efficiency retail products, home performance, 

and commercial buildings and technology. 

Efficiency Vermont also supported specific NEEP policy projects in building codes, highperformance schools, and appliance standards. Finally, Efficiency Vermont was a joint 

funder and active participant in maintaining the DesignLights Consortium solid-state 

lighting qualified products list. This initiative is an effort to evaluate the performance and 

quality of solid-state lighting in the absence of an ENERGY STAR standard, and is used to 

guide Efficiency Vermont decisions regarding eligibility of LED products for incentives. 

Participation in Regulatory Proceedings 

Efficiency Vermont took part in a wide range of Board proceedings throughout 2009, 

including discussions related to cost-effectiveness screening for unregulated fuels, 

determining and updating Energy Efficiency Utility (EEU) avoided costs, and proceedings 

related to the Advanced Metering Infrastructure. 

As authorized by the Public Service Board, VEIC participated in the EEU restructuring 

proceedings as an intervening party. Costs related to this participation were not billed to 

the Efficiency Vermont contract. 

Support for ARRA-Funded Activity 

Efficiency Vermont worked closely with the DPS and the state’s Clean Energy 

Development Fund (CEDF) to provide appropriate support for effective deployment of 

ARRA funds. Activity included: 
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 33 

• Assisting nine of Vermont’s largest cities in direct applications to the U.S. 

Department of Energy for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant 

(EECBG) funds totaling $549,600. 

• Designing and implementing the $500,000 efficient appliance rebate program. In 

this case, Efficiency Vermont worked with the DPS to design a program that was 

tightly integrated with its existing rebates, and engaged its retail partners in 

targeting the program launch to coincide with the sales tax holiday weekend to 

maximize its impact. 

• Providing assistance to smaller communities applying for EECBG grants through 

the Clean Energy Development Fund (CEDF). VEIC deployed Efficiency Vermont 

resources to make available a base level of support for 323 initial applications, and 

more extensive assistance for the 162 applicants whom the CEDF selected for final 

consideration. The total amount of awarded grants was $5.8 million, with 

associated energy savings of 2,232 MWh. The two-tier system of assistance was 

designed to balance the need to support eligible applicants with responsible use of 

EEC-funded technical resources. 

• Providing assistance to colleges, universities, and hospitals applying to the CEDF 

for ARRA funding through the “Public-Serving Institutions” opportunity. 

• Supporting the Smart Grid Investment Grant process as a partner in the 

application to the U.S. Department of Energy, which delivered $69 million in 

federal matching funds for upgrading Vermont’s electrical infrastructure. 

Forecasting 

The new Long-Range Transmission Plan process adopted by the Board under Docket 

7081 contains a provision that requires the Efficiency Vermont contractor to develop a 

long-range forecast of demand reduction from energy efficiency. VEIC was authorized in 

its 2009–2011 contract to develop a budget-constrained, 20-year demand-side forecast, 

known as Forecast 20. With energy efficiency savings as a share of statewide electric 

requirements hitting 2.5% in 2008, coordination of demand-side and supply-side 

forecasting has become increasingly important. 

VEIC developed Forecast 20 through a rigorous, measure-level analysis, and delivered it 

to the full Vermont Systems Planning Committee and its Energy Efficiency & Forecasting 

Subcommittee in a series of briefings in November and December 2009. The work met 

the expectations and technical standards of these groups and will serve as a foundation (in 

terms of both data and systems) upon which future forecasts can be made. It has also 

established the basis upon which the impacts of energy efficiency peak demand savings 

can be incorporated directly into electrical system capacity planning. 

Highlights of Forecast 20 findings appear on page ix of the Annual Report Executive

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. 

CCP customers can apply for financial incentives for any retrofit or market-driven project 

that saves electrical energy and passes the Vermont societal cost-effectiveness test. Once a 

customer elects to participate in CCP, that customer is no longer eligible to participate in 

other Efficiency Vermont 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 90% of 

their projected three-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 12 months. 

Eligible Market 

To be eligible for CCP, customers must: 

 Never have accepted cash incentives from any Vermont utility Demand Side 

Management (DSM) program; 

 Have ISO 14001 certification.

5.3 GROSS TO NET FACTORS 

5.3.1 GUIDE TO THE TABLES THAT FOLLOW 

Adjustments to all savings were made to account for free riders, spillover, and line losses. This 

section lists the adjustments that were used for this report. 

Adjustments on table ‘5.3.2 Gross to Net Factors’ represent free rider and spillover rates used 

throughout 2009 by mutual agreement among Efficiency Vermont, the Vermont Department of 

Public Service and the Contract Administrator. Free rider and spillover adjustments are applied 

based on the specific measure, market, and market sub-component. No adjustments are made 

for free riders or spillover in the Customer Credit Program. 

Adjustments for free riders and spillover are presented as a single combined factor rather than 

percentage adjustments. That is, “no adjustment” is indicated by a factor of 1. Factors less than 1 

represent a net reduction in savings due to free riders. Factors greater than 1 represent a net 

increase in savings due to spillover. Free rider and spillover adjustments are combined by 

addition. Example, a free rider adjustment of 0.8 combined with a spillover adjustment of 1.1 

results in a total adjustment of 0.9. The adjusted savings would be 90% of unadjusted savings. 

Adjustments on table ‘5.3.3 Line Loss Factors’ are then applied to the total after all other 

adjustments have been made. Line loss adjustments depend on the measure load shape. Line 

loss adjustments increase electrical savings by the percentage indicated. The final calculation 

results in “Net Savings at Generation.” 

The column headings indicate the market and market sub-component as follows:

7. 1 Definitions and End Notes 

Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 181
Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 182
7.1 DEFINITIONS AND END NOTES 

7.1.1 DATA TABLES OVERVIEW 

1 – Section 7.1.2 includes a list of definitions for items in the data tables. Section 7.1.3 includes 

notes for specific items in the tables. Section 7.1.4 provides a guide to the re-mapping of 

multifamily projects and savings into new markets. 

2 – Data items for which data are not available are labeled “nav.” Data items for which data are not 

applicable are labeled “nap.” 

3 – Except where noted, Efficiency Vermont expenditures data in this report were incurred during 

the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. Similarly, measure savings are for 

measures installed during the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. 

4 – Efficiency Vermont costs include an operations fee of .75%. The operations fees are reported in 

all Services and Initiative Costs where applicable with one exception: the operations fee for 

Incentives to Participants are reported with the Administration costs. 

5 – Data for “Incentives to Participants” in Tables 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.8, 2.1.12, 3.1.1, 3.1.6, 3.1.11, 

3.1.16, 3.1.21, 4.1.2, 6.1.2, 6.1.5, 6.1.7, 6.1.10, and 6.1.13 are based on financial data from Vermont 

Energy Investment Corporation’s (VEIC’s) accounting system. “Participant Incentives Paid” on all 

other tables are based on data entered in Efficiency Vermont’s Knowledge-based Information 

Technology Tool (KITT) tracking system. 

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 reference only. These data exclude savings for 

measures that have reached the end of their specified lifetime. 

7 – Program Planning costs have been rolled into “Services and Initiatives” for Years 2003–2009. 

For Years 2000–2002, Program Planning costs were reported as a separate line item. In Tables 2.1.2

and 2.1.3, Program Planning costs under “Cumulative starting 3/1/00” refer to data reported prior 

to 2003. 

8 – For years 2003–2005, multifamily costs and savings are reported in the Business Energy Services 

sector. For all other contract years, multifamily costs and savings are reported in the Residential 

Energy Services sector. See Section 7.1.4, Multifamily Reporting Changes. 

Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 183
7.1.2 DEFINITIONS AND REPORT TEMPLATE 

The table templates that appear in the 2009 Efficiency Vermont Savings Claim Summary/Annual 

Report were developed as a collaborative effort among Efficiency Vermont, the Vermont 

Department of Public Service, the Energy Efficiency Utility Contract Administrator, and Burlington 

Electric Department. Note that there are two major table formats, one for the markets and services 

summary and the other for breakdowns by end use, county, and utility savings. 

The definitions of the data reported in these tables follow. The numbers in parentheses on the 

template refer to the footnoted definitions that immediately follow.

Footnotes for the report table templates: 

(1) Activity for the prior reporting year. 

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

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

adjustment factors, except as otherwise noted. 

(3) Projected costs for Year 2009 are estimates only and are provided for reference. The Efficiency Vermont contract 

contains three-year cumulative budgets and savings goals. 

(4) Data reported for the contract period starting January 1, 2009, and continuing through December 31, 2009. 

(5) Data reported for the contract period starting March 1, 2000, and continuing through December 31, 2009. 

(6) Number of customers with installed measures. The “# participants with installations” is counted by summing 

unique physical locations (sites) where efficiency 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 “Cumulative starting 3/1/00”, customers are counted once, regardless of the 

number of times the customer participates in Efficiency Vermont services throughout the period 2000–2009. Whenever 

Efficiency Vermont works in collaboration with other providers of efficiency services, the same participants may be 

counted and reported by more than one organization. As a result, total statewide participation might be less than the 

sum of all the organizations’ reported participants. 

(7) Costs include general management, budgeting, financial management, and Efficiency Vermont 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. 

Prior year administration costs do not include the incentives operations fee. The current year (2009) does include that 

fee. 

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

(9) Costs related to program design, planning, program screening, and other similar functions. Program Planning costs 

refer to data reported prior to 2003. 

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

(11) 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. 

(12) Subtotal of all operating costs detailed in the categories above: (7) + (8) + (9) + (10) + (11). 

(13) Direct payments to participants to defray the costs of specific efficiency measures. Prior year incentive costs 

include the operations fee; the current year (2009) incentive costs do not include that fee. 

(14) Incentives paid to manufacturers, wholesalers, builders, retailers, or other non-customer stakeholders that do not 

defray the costs of specific efficiency measures. Prior year incentive costs include the operations fee. The current year 

(2009) incentive costs do not include that fee. 

Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 186
(15) Subtotal reflecting total incentive costs: (13) + (14). 

(16) Costs related to conducting analyses, preparing the package of efficiency measures, contract management, and 

post-project follow-up. 

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

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

(18) Subtotal reflecting total technical assistance costs: (16) + (17). 

(19) Total costs incurred by Efficiency Vermont. All costs are in nominal dollars: (12) + (15) + (18). 

(20) Total costs incurred by participants and related to Efficiency Vermont 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. 

(21) Total costs incurred by third parties (i.e., entities other than Efficiency Vermont, utilities, and participants) and 

directly related to Efficiency Vermont 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. 

(22) Total cost of services and initiatives: (19) + (20) + (21). 

(23) Annualized MWh savings at generation, net of all approved adjustment factors (e.g., free riders, spillover, line loss) 

for measures installed during the current reporting period. 

(24) 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 multiplying estimated annualized savings by the 

life of the measure.) 

(25) 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 2009 dollars throughout the report. 

Whenever Efficiency Vermont works in collaboration with other providers of efficiency services, the same savings might 

be counted and reported by more than one organization. As a result, the total statewide savings might be less than the 

sum of all the organizations reporting savings. 

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

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

(28) Annualized MWh savings per participant, net at generation: (23) ÷ (6). 

(29) Average lifetime, in years, of measures weighted by savings: (24) ÷ (23). 

(30) Incentives that are not yet paid to a customer but where there is a signed contract as of December 31, 2009, for 

projects which will be completed after December 31, 2009. 

(31) Adjusted Annualized MWh savings at generation and net of all approved adjustment factors (e.g., free riders, 

spillover, line loss) for measures installed during the current reporting period. These data include 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. 

(32) Adjusted impact of measures at time of winter system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. These data 

include 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 lifetimes. 

(33) Adjusted impact of measures at time of summer system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. These data 

include 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 lifetimes. 

Efficiency Vermont Annual Report | Page 187
Items 34-43 reflect installed measures for the current reporting period. 

(34) Number of participants with installed measures for the End Use, Utility and County Breakdown. Whenever 

Efficiency Vermont works in collaboration with other providers of efficiency services, the same participants may be 

counted and reported by more than one organization. As a result, total statewide participation might be less than the 

sum of all the organizations’ reported participants. 

(35) Annualized MWh savings at generation, net of all approved adjustment factors (e.g., free riders, spillover, line loss) 

for measures installed during the current reporting period. This is the same number as that reported on line (23). 

(36) Annualized MWh savings, gross at the customer meter. 

(37) Lifetime estimated MWh savings for measures installed during the current reporting period, at generation and net 

of all approved adjustment factors. This is the same number as that reported on line (24). 

(38) Estimated impact of measures at time of winter system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. This is the 

same number as that reported on line (26). 

(39) Estimated impact of measures at time of summer system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. This is the 

same number as that reported on line (27). 

(40) MMBtu estimated to be saved (positive) or used (negative) for alternative fuels as a result of measures installed in 

the end use. 

(41) Water saved (positive) or used (negative) due to measures installed in the end use. 

(42) Incentive paid by Efficiency Vermont to participants for measures installed during the current reporting period. 

This is the same number as reported on line (13). See note 4 and 5 in Section 4.3.1 for the different data sources for 

lines (13) and (42). 

(43) Costs incurred by participants and related to Efficiency Vermont or utility activities. This is the same number as 

that reported on line (20).
