A. Program Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) focuses on three key areas in order to develop innovative and cost-effective energy saving solutions:

• Supporting research and development

of high impact building technologies

• Accelerating market penetration of

technologies that will save the country energy by assisting to overcome key market barriers

• Organizing and facilitating

enforcement of minimum efficiency standards and building codes to ensure energy savings within buildings. BTO has developed a new technology prioritization framework to provide analytical support for its programmatic decision-making in order to further accelerate the transformation of the U.S. building energy efficiency sector. B. Prioritization Tool Description

The tool was designed to inform programmatic decision-making and facilitate the setting of programmatic goals. It also allows the evaluation of ‘‘what if’’ scenarios when pursuing potential competing energy efficiency measures, and it ultimately helps the BTO to create Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) objectives. Currently, the tool contains data on over 500 energy efficiency measures along with their markets. It has the capability to perform extensive analyses using established methodology for calculating energy savings potential and the costs of conserved energy associated with each

measure.

The Prioritization Tool enables open and objective comparison of hundreds of technology and market-based investment opportunities available to BTO. The energy efficiency measures identified in the tool cover a spectrum of market opportunities, including residential and commercial buildings, new and existing buildings, as well as industrial and outdoor applications. Most of the measures considered fall within one of BTO’s main focus areas in building energy end-use sectors:

• Heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC)

• Water heating

• Appliances

• Lighting

• Windows

• Envelope: insulation and roofing

• Sensors and controls

• Miscellaneous electric loads The tool strives to be comprehensive by including most known energy efficiency measures proven to save energy; laboratory-demonstrated, field-tested, analytically derived (with peer review) savings, and inclusive by integrating inputs from hundreds of sources and expert reviews.

While BTO has identified over five hundred energy efficiency measures, it chose to narrow the scope of analysis to focus on the most promising measures that have the greatest potential for energy savings across the United States. By excluding measures based on the following predefined criteria, BTO has created a portfolio consisting of 261 measures which, by using the Prioritization Tool, were subsequently subjected to a more extensive quantitative analysis to assure only the highest impact measures are the focus of further effort. The approach was first for BTO to focus on technologies which had the highest data quality (i.e., where peer-reviewed energy efficiency and cost data are available in published reports or from technology experts).

Then, measures were excluded from further analysis if they:

• Offered low energy savings potential (less than 100 TBtu in the year 2030);

• Involved fuel switching (unless the analysis team deemed a technology as important to assess); • Had one or more significant market barriers;

• Were deemed impractical by the analysis team;

• Were already included in the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) 2010 baseline, which takes into account known technologies, technological and demographic trends, and current laws and regulations.

These criteria were considered as general guidelines; exceptions for certain promising or cost effective measures were made on a case-by-case basis based on expert analysis. Finally, BTO analyzed and prioritized, both individually and in the context of the full portfolio of measures, all 261 measures having relatively high energy savings potential and significant ability to compete in the market place. C. Methodology

The BTO Prioritization Tool uses established methodologies to evaluate under a variety of scenarios the incremental lifetime costs of a measure’s energy savings potential. The tool calculates potential savings at the national or regional level and compares the results to a business-as-usual baseline defined in the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2010 (AEO). 1 The following scenarios are used for the prioritization analysis and represent potential annual energy savings associated for each measure:

• Technical Potential is the annual energy savings achieved by instant replacement of all technically suitable existing stock in 2010 and beyond with the proposed measure, regardless of cost. Although the technical potential cannot be realized, it provides an upper bound to the maximum energy savings that can be achieved by the proposed measure assuming instant and complete market adoption of the technology.

• Maximum Adoption Potential is the total annual savings based on deployment of the evaluated measure given 100% market penetration for all end-of-life or accelerated replacements and new purchases or new construction installations. The entire existing stock is replaced at an accelerated schedule for cases when a retrofit opportunity is cost effective, which means the present value of the energy savings of other efficiency measures exceeds the full, installed cost of the evaluated efficiency measure. Therefore, it becomes

2 Bass, F.M., 1969, ‘‘A New Product Growth Model for Consumer Durables,’’ Management Science, Vol. 15, pp. 215–227. economically rational to replace all of the currently deployed stock immediately with the efficiency measure. This scenario corresponds to the least expensive means to deploy a given efficiency measure into the marketplace. This potential is also referred to as Unstaged Maximum Adoption Potential.

• Staged Maximum Adoption Potential adjusts the savings of the Maximum Adoption Potential to avoid double-counting energy savings for measures with overlapping markets within a given portfolio. For example, the installation of compact fluorescent light bulbs would reduce the potential energy savings from light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The savings of the lowest-cost measures are accounted for first.

• Adoption-Based Potential uses the Bass diffusion model2 2 to represent a more realistic potential impact on energy savings in the marketplace. This scenario allows simulation of the DOE programs’ impact on measure diffusion and assumes that research and development and deployment activities would accelerate market introduction. It also allows for evaluation of standards by replacing all purchased stock with the technology being evaluated once a standard is set in place. For this RFI, outputs from this scenario are not available but will be addressed in future publications.

For the unstaged and staged Maximum Adoption Potential scenarios, the tool also calculates the levelized cost of conserved energy (CCE), which is an annualized value of discounted costs and benefits of each measure. More specifically, the CCE allows comparison of end-user costs per unit of conserved energy for each measure. The end-user cost refers to the difference in capital, operations, and maintenance costs between the measure being analyzed and a typical baseline, adjusted for potential cost differences resulting from the variation in lifetimes between the proposed measure and the baseline. CCE is used during staging analysis, which involves adjusting the energy savings of each measure by taking into account competition for savings within the same or overlapping markets, and allocating savings within specific markets to measures with the lowest unstaged CCE first. Consequently, the staged CCE is calculated based on adjusted staged savings. Hence the staged CCE is defined as the annualized value of discounted cost per unit of conserved energy after staging of energy savings for each measure. Results are presented for both unstaged and staged scenarios by graphing unstaged or staged CCE versus unstaged or staged Maximum Adoption Potential savings, respectively.
