## 1.1.1. BUSINESS ENERGY SERVICES

Our strategy for the business market has been to help members of the Vermont business community reach their business goals by adding value through energy efficiency to their businesses, helping them serve their customer s more effectively and efficiently while contributing to the Public Service Board’s resource acquisition goals. In 2006, Efficiency Vermont helped businesses reduce their annual energy costs by a total of $2,380,000 and completed 821 projects, 99 more than in 2005, which represents an increase of 14%. These projects will reduce annual energy use by 23,000 megawatt-hours 1 

### (MWh). This fell short of our expectations by 15%. A more in- depth discussion of the causes for the lowerthan-anticipated savings is in the Business New Construction section. Annual summer peak demand was reduced by 4,500 kilowatts (kW) and annual winter peak demand by 3,400 kW, representing an increase in reduction of summer peak of 33% and winter peak of 1% compared with 2005. Over the lifetime of the measures installed in 2006, these businesses are expected to earn, through reduce d energy costs, an average of a 42% return on their energy efficiency investments. Sinc e Efficiency Vermont’s inception in 2000, business-sector resource savings have accumula ted a total lifetime economic value of

$174,000,000. Lifetime economic value is defined as the present value of electricity, fossil fuels, and water that is saved over the lifetime of the efficiency measures.

Savings in the business sector are the result of mu ltiple strategic and operational efforts to increase the business community’s understanding of energy efficiency as a valuable way to improve their economic performance; help th em better manage the energy use of their existing facilities; build strong, trusting rela tionships; and provide the necessary resources targeted to customer needs. Efficiency Vermont’s methods to increase the energy efficiency of the business sector continue to include a range of technical, financial, educational, training, and inform ational services. All such services are designed to increase the adoption of en ergy-efficient equipment, design, and construction by

Vermont businesses. To ensure the market c an supply energy efficiency products and professional services, we provide services dire ctly to business customers and to the many suppliers, tradespeople, manufacturers, dist ributors, and design and energy service professionals who serve and support the business community.

We continue to cultivate important strategic relationships with many trade and business associations through a variety of activities, including placement of articles and ads in their newsletters, individual meetings, inf ormational presentations, training sessions, attendance at association meetings, and pa rticipation in trade shows. Underlying this personal contact is our commitment to the development of strong relationships and our desire to increase our understanding of c ustomers’ needs and the needs of those who serve them, so we can increase their particip ation in reducing energy use. This long-term commitment has played an important role in achieving energy savings in the business

sector.

We continue to partner with utilities to in crease utility referral s for energy efficiency projects for their commercial and industrial customers. In addition, we are working in a more coordinated way to m eet the needs of the state’s largest electric users. As an

1 In 2005, all multifamily projects were recorded as sa vings in the business sector. Beginning in 2006, savings for all multifamily projects are recorded in the re sidential sector. To accurately compare 2006 and 2005 energy and cost savings and number of projects, the numbers in 2005 are adjusted in the business sector narrative to not include savings or proj ect numbers from the multifamily market.

### example, Green Mountain Power (GMP) asked Efficiency Vermont to be a partner in helping address demand and energy efficiency needs for GMP’s largest customers. Efficiency Vermont has also assisted la rge commercial and industrial customers in understanding power factor and the effect of asso ciated utility charges on their monthly bills. Beyond the potential for reducing the bus inesses’ energy costs, this assistance creates opportunities to build relationships and leve rage the cost savings for energy efficiency projects.

To provide a higher level of specialized technical expertise to the business market, Efficiency Vermont has increased its use of subcontractors who perform technical analysis, perform walk-through assessments for businesses, and review data. The increased use of subcontractors expands ou r in-house capability and supports existing energy efficiency infrastructure in the Vermont business market. In 2006, we engaged 23 subcontractors, representing a 21% increase in the use of subcontractors to serve Vermont businesses compared with use in 2005.



## EXISTING BUSINESS FACILITIES

Efficiency Vermont worked with businesses th at replaced equipment or upgraded their processes at 642 sites in 2006. This represents a 12% increase over the number of sites served in 2005 in this market. Energy saving s in 2006 to existing businesses increased 4%,

to 19,000 MWh.

Services to these businesses include prescriptiv e incentives for businesses, contractors, and suppliers, and customized services for sp ecial needs. Customized services include providing direct services, such as technical analysis, cash-flow analysis, and financial incentives, and partnering with other service providers to offer needed services that include design assistance and financing packages.

The number of retrofit projects increa sed significantly, from 93 in 2005 to 119 in 2006, representing 39% of the energy savings in th e business market. The average incentive per MWh for retrofit projects continued to decrease, from $92 per MWh in 2005 to $57 per MWh in 2006, reflecting an increase in the val ue perceived by customers of the energy savings per project and an increase in Effi ciency Vermont staff’s understanding of the

need to reduce other, nonfinancial, barriers th at impede projects, such as risk aversion or lack of equipment.

The following are examples of activities and new efforts designed to serve the general existing business market in 2006. Highlights for specific target markets and initiatives are

discussed later.

• In March, Efficiency Vermont hosted Indust rial Efficiency Initiative: Save Energy,

Maximize Profits, a satellite teleconfer ence developed by the Northwest Food Processors Association (NWFPA) for the U.S. Department of Energy, which was attended by 15 participants from 12 Vermont companies.

• We developed and distributed a Reduce Energy Use in Commercial Kitchens technical brief to help business customers re duce electricity and other energy costs associated with food preparation.

• We piloted Web-based prescriptive incentive applications to make it easy for suppliers serving repeat customers to process prescriptive forms.

### • When the regional sponsors decided to discontinue their support of the NEEP Cool Choice and Motor Up initiative, which promoted energy-efficient HVAC and motors, we developed and implemen ted a plan to provide continuity for suppliers and contractors. This include d the development of new HVAC and motor forms. Now all prescriptive forms distributed in Vermont are identified with Efficiency Vermont and have a co nsistency that makes them easier for suppliers and businesses to use.

• Efficiency Vermont hosted a one-week Certified Energy Manager (CEM) course in Burlington in partnership with the Assoc iation of Energy Engineers (AEE), which was open to others in the energy ind ustry in Vermont. Approximately 20 people

attended the course and took the CEM exam.



## BUSINESS NEW CONSTRUCTION

We continue to work closely with Verm ont’s commercial design and construction community to improve the efficiency and pe rformance of new construction projects. Although the number of new construction p rojects increased slightly in 2006 from the previous year, the savings per project decrea sed from an average of 71 MWh per project in 2005 to 49 MWh per project in 2006. This year , 84 projects were completed, for a total annual savings of 4,100 MWh, compared with 83 completed in 2005 with 5,900 MWh savings. This reflects new construction and ren ovation projects of reduced size and scope, which is likely the result of a downturn in the new construction ind ustry in Vermont. The increase in the number of small projects resulted in lowered savings per project, accounting for the lower-than-anticip ated savings in this market.

Efficiency Vermont continued to support th e Department of Public Service code efforts through distribution of the 2005 Vermont Guidelines for Energy Efficient Commercial

Construction , adopted as the Vermont Commercial Energy Code effective January 1, 2007. Approximately 2,700 copies were distributed to the commercial building design and construction community in 2006, many as a r esult of a 3,000-piece mailing to the

commercial and industrial d esign and construction community that served as a registration form for training and announ ced the upcoming code change. Efficiency Vermont sponsored three training sessions for the new Commercial Energy Code in November 2006 to support the Department of Public Service in la unching the code. More than 200 design and construction professi onals attended the “Code and Beyond” trainings in Burlington, Rutland, and White Rive r Junction. Evaluation feedback for the code training sessions indicated that 100% of attendees found the information useful for their work. We also worked closely with the local chapters of AIA and ASHRAE to communicate the code change and support other technical seminars at those organizations’ mont hly meetings.

In November 2006 we participated at the second semiannual half-day meeting at the Vermont Building Professionals Summit wi th leaders of the top construction organizations in the state, including AIA, ASHRAE, the Association of General
Contractors (AGC), the Association for Fa cilities Engineering (AFE), Building and General Services, and others. The topic of th is summit was the roll-out of the new code. This was the second summit that Efficiency Vermont was invited to attend because of its close work with these organizations.

## TARGETED MARKETS AND INITIATIVES

Colleges and Universities In 2006, Efficiency Vermont launched a mar ket initiative to work with colleges and universities in the state to engage them at th e facility and educational levels to increase energy savings. Much of the effort focused on achieving participation by all institutions across the state. In 2006, Efficiency Vermont completed 35 projects at 16 Vermont colleges and universities, compared with 23 projects completed in 2005. These projects resulted in 980 MWh annual savings that will reduce annual energy costs by $114,000.

To advance participation, in the spring of 2006, Efficiency Vermont supported a Middlebury College student group that performed direct installation of 2,300 compact
fluorescent (CFLs) in student fixtures in dorm itory rooms on campus. Direct installation in the dormitories reduced the annual facility energy cost by $7,300 and reduced energy use by 81,600 kWh, and the impact was incre ased by expanded energy efficiency awareness and excitement on the part of the student participants. Articles about the student efforts appeared in the newspapers Seven Days and Addison Eagle and inspired our decision to implement a statewide Colle giate Change a Light Challenge later in the

fall.

The Collegiate Change a Light Challenge was the first initiative of its kind in the nation. The goal of the initiative was to get studen ts at colleges across the state to replace incandescent lamps with CFLs in their dorm rooms. Efficiency Vermont worked with the Vermont Campus Energy Group to perform outr each to schools and provided them with materials, initiated positive media coverage, and encouraged statewide participation. We also implemented the first buy-down discounted pricing for an event separate from other regional efforts. We selected an in-state supplier to offer CFLs at a reduced cost to colleges. Approximately 4,500 CFLs were installe d at 16 institutions across the state, and Efficiency Vermont was able to engage sch ools with which it had had few or no previous interactions. Efficiency Vermont sponsore d a dinner event at the Vermont Campus Compact Conference that included recognition for the students who supported the Change a Light event.

In support of curriculum and student developme nt efforts, we established internships for three college students to work at Efficiency Vermont, providing firsthand experience in energy efficiency to students at St. Michael ’s College, Vermont Technical College, and the University of Vermont. The interns worked on a variety of projects in support of the college and university initiat ive and other technical efforts. Additionally, approximately 45 college and 32 high school students were ab le to learn general concepts about energy efficiency by attending the Better Buildings by Design Conference with sponsorships from the Department of Public Service.

Farms In 2006, we began to see a decline in installati ons of efficiency measures at dairy farms, attributable to the maturity of this market that has benefited from the availability of efficiency services for 15-plus years. In resp onse, Efficiency Vermont began to reach out to different types of farms to engage a wider segment of the agricultural community in Vermont. Projects completed in 2006 will sa ve participating farmers $42,000 and reduce energy use by a total of 370 MWh, a decline of 47% compared with savings of 700 MWh in 2005. This year, we completed 59 projects at Vermont farms by continuing a strategy of

### personal contacts, by provid ing financial assistance includi ng support for a loan program and incentives, and by using articles and advertis ing for outreach to this mature market. To make participation easier for all farmers and serve a broader range of farm businesses, outreach materials, including the new prescript ive form, have been renamed Agricultural Business. The new prescriptive form has been modified to include new, more efficient lighting technologies fo r farm facilities.

Industrial Our approach to the industrial and large commercial electric users is to focus on enhancing a company’s competitive edge th rough energy efficiency improvements. The first technical phase of this approach was to identify technologies shared by most of the large users and to focus on ways to supp ort the adoption of more energy-efficient equipment and design and on ways to inf luence the upstream market suppliers, contractors, and installers. Compressed air was chosen as the technology with the most significant use and savings potential. We provided Compressed Air Challenge Level 1 training in September with 30 participants from 20 large industrial companies. We leveraged Department of Energy funds from the Department of Public Service to provide 12 compressed air assessments at manufacturing facilities. The additional funds made the

cost of the assessments more reasonable for the businesses, and information from the

assessments will be used as a baseline for co mpressed air improvements and upgrades in the future. Overall, the savings from compr essed air efficiency measures grew from 2,500

MWh in 2005 to 3,500 MWh in 2006, a 40% increase, indicating the near-term success of this strategy.

In addition to enhancing the technical understanding of the large users, we have implemented account management for 13 of the largest users. These businesses have been assigned trained account managers with spec ifically defined management, reporting, and monitoring protocols to better se rve them. The account manage rs are assigned to act as the primary contact for large customers; they devote their time to learning about these customers, including their facilities, their ch allenges, and their plans for the future. The personal relationships and interactions with these industrial clients allow us to get involved in the early stages of project pl anning and to understand internal processes,
maximizing opportunities to increase savings. Ea rly results of this approach, which was launched in the fall, were active energy projec ts at nine of the 13 facilities by the close of 2006 and positive responses from the businesses. Additional large businesses will have account managers assigned in 2007.

K–12 Schools In 2006, Efficiency Vermont completed 51 school projects, 2% more than in 2005, and reduced annual energy costs in schools by $190,000, saving 975 MWh annually. In 2006, more than 65 schools requested walk-throughs to identify en ergy efficiency opportunities. The School Energy Management Program (SEMP ), which is partially funded by Efficiency Vermont, provided these walk-throughs, which identified energy savings opportunities and calculated cost savings for the schools. Fifteen of these schools had not had any previous engagement with Efficiency Vermont.

Demand for energy efficiency services related to education in schools also increased in 2006. The Vermont Energy Education Program (V EEP) visited a total of 67 schools in 2006, some of them multiple times. VEEP presented the Energy & the Environmentprogram, using a bicycle generator, to 153 classes/teachers and 2,647 students. Twenty### three of the schools had not been visited in past years. Although it is difficult to equate

these educational activities wi th actual kWh savings, VEEP has been working in concert with business development staff and the Retail Efficient Products group to promote CFLs

to the students, their families, and their communities by distributing more than 600 CFL coupons during the presentations that are redeemable at local retailers. Growing awareness of energy efficiency le d several schools to request Efficiency Vermont’s support for fund-raisers using CFLs in part to provide students with real-life experiences that support energy and environmental studies in the curriculum. Additional details about school fund-raising projects are discussed in th e Retail Efficient Products subsection in the Residential Energy Services section.

Efficiency Vermont supported the first performance contract project undertaken by the Montpelier school district in 2006. The project included upgrades to lighting, installation

of controls for HVAC, and insulation and air sealing in all three schools, and replacement of a ventilation system in one building. Th e performance contract will save the district $133,000 and 332,000 kWh annually and is paid f or through the reduction in operating costs of the schools, state support from the Department of Education, and financial incentives from Efficiency Vermont.

Ski Areas Efficiency Vermont completed 12 projects at ski areas, which will save them a total of $200,000 annually, reduce annual energy use by 510 MWh, and reduce winter peak demand by 120 kW. Energy savings in ski ar eas were down by 87%, in part because far fewer efficient snow guns were installed in 2006 than in 2005. Also, the ski areas often have other types of large projects that can skew savings from one year to the next depending on the closing date, typically betw een November and February. At the end of

2006, one new ski area client ha d several active projects.

We worked with Jay Peak, Smugglers’ Notc h, and Stowe to build and promote ENERGY STAR–labeled condominiums, saving their c ustomers $52,000 per year in energy costs. This work included assisting the ski areas in meeting the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) tax credit. Savings at all cond ominiums are recorded in the multifamily subsection in the Residential Energy Services section of this report.

Efficiency Vermont worked to engage nonp articipating ski areas in energy efficiency projects in 2006. Efficiency Vermont continues to actively engage the Vermont Ski Areas Association by participating as a member and presenter at its annual meetings and by contributing to its newsletter highlighting successful projects.

State Buildings In 2006, Efficiency Vermont completed 48 projec ts with the State of Vermont, including four new construction and major renovati on projects, 12 retrofit projects, and 32 equipment replacement projects. As a result of these projects, the State of Vermont will save $105,000 annually, reduce its annual energy use by 1,000 MWh, and reduce summer peak demand by 190 kW and winter peak by 140 kW. These projects resulted in 5% greater savings in energy costs th an comparable projects in 2005.

In 2006, Efficiency Vermont worked with th e Department of Buildings and General Services’ purchasing and contract administrat ion and its lighting supply vendor, Wesco

Distribution, Inc., to increase the number of energy-efficient lighting products purchased

### under the contract and to reduce the pape rwork required for re ceiving incentives. The State of Vermont, Wesco, and Efficiency Vermont reached an agreement, with approval from the Department of Public Service, to pay incentives quarterly based on sales reports provided by Wesco, significantly reducing the processing time and associated costs for all
parties.

Efficiency Vermont provided technical tr aining to Vermont State building staff and private practice professionals who provided facili ty-related services to the State at several events in 2006, including a presentation to six Buildings and General Services engineers on “Alternatives to Air Conditioning” and training to 24 staff members from the Agency of Transportation on “High Performance Envelopes.” In addition, more than 40 State of Vermont employees attended Efficiency Vermont’s Better Buildings by Design Conference in February.

In 2006, Efficiency Vermont continued to ful fill its commitments to the Vermont State Buildings Energy Efficiency Partnership Rebui ld America Grant by assisting the circuit

rider with district courthouse audits and a correctional facility review. A preliminary report was released in early 2007.

Water and Wastewater Facilities In 2006, Efficiency Vermont completed nine projec ts at water and wastewater facilities, compared with 17 projects completed in 2005. The savings from projects completed in 2006 will result in municipalities’ saving $50,000 and reducing energy use by 260 MWh annually. This represents a decrease in energy savings of 36% compared with 2005, primarily due to fewer la rge projects closing in 2006.

Efficiency Vermont metered results at two wate r/wastewater treatment facilities to verify savings estimates and thus improve the reliab ility of savings predictions. In addition, Efficiency Vermont has conducted a dissolved oxygen pilot study with the town of Brighton at its wastewater facility.

Efficiency Vermont partnered with the Vermont Rural Water Association (VRWA) to provide a series of training opportunities to water and wastewater operators around the state. Response to these events included 30 attendees at the “Cost Savings through Energy Efficiency” training sessions in Williston and Randolph and 29 attendees at the “Electric Bill” training sessions in Enosburg and Manc hester. These efforts educated participants about the value of energy efficiency and p rovided attendees the opportunity for direct communication with and exposure to Efficien cy Vermont. Efficiency Vermont engaged in other outreach opportunities by contribut ing articles to the VRWA and Green Mountain Water Environment Association newsletters and participating in their events. In addition, Efficiency Vermont presented information ab out its water and wastewater initiative to 50 Department of Environmental Conservation st aff members in the late fall. These outreach

activities have led to increased referrals f or upgrades to equipment, retrofits, and new construction projects at wate r and wastewater facilities.

Lighting and Daylighting Initiative The lighting and daylighting init iative works with manufacturers, suppliers, designers, contractors, and end users to obtain energy savings and to realize the aesthetic, productivity, and performance improvements associated with high-performance lighting and daylighting.

### Our efforts to engage the entire lighting su pply chain continued throughout the year. To deepen and broaden our penetration with ha rd-to-reach distributors and contractors, we undertook a statewide commercial lighting to ur in the spring of 2006. Efficiency Vermont visited and provided training at 26 electrical distributors throughout the state to demonstrate the latest in high-performance lighting technologies. Th is important effort

reached more than 200 attendees and 100 electrical contractors.

Efficiency Vermont continues to be a nationa l leader in bringing high-performance T8 technology to the market. By working with regional and national manufacturers and market actors, Efficiency Vermont has brough t this technology to regional distribution centers in Pennsylvania, New York, Massach usetts, and New Hampshire, available for quick shipment to Vermont. This important effort has brought benefits to Vermont and to the Northeast region as a whole. The typi cal lead time to obtain the technology has been reduced from several weeks to just da ys, thus making it available for most construction projects. Thanks to these effort s, the number of high-performance T8 fixtures installed through Efficiency Vermont programs has increased from 2,400 units in

2004, to 8,300 units in 2005, to 10,200 units in 2 006. Moreover, the success of the effort will be replicated on a larger scale throu gh a NEEP high-per formance T8 lighting initiative, which is based largely on Efficiency Vermont’s prior efforts. This new NEEP initiative has obtained federal grant funding and will eventually have dramatic effects on supply and demand for high-performance T8 lighting throughout the Northeast.

These initiatives continue to bring greater lighting savings and participation to Efficiency Vermont. Energy savings from commercial ligh ting projects have increased by 39%, from

8,900 MWh in 2005 to 12,400 MWh in 2006.

Facility Operational Efficiency Initiative The facility operational efficien cy initiative was launched to increase the energy savings of facilities by focusing on the operation of eq uipment and systems to increase energy-saving performance and practices.

To support the new and underutilized process of improving facility operational efficiency, we published The Commissioning Guide in February 2006 and distributed it at the Better Buildings by Design Conference. A total of 1,350 copies have been distributed to building owners, design professionals, and contractors statewide. A commissioning roundtable was held in October with commissioning providers from across the state to increase Efficiency Vermont’s effectiveness in supporting this approach to reducing businesses’ energy use.

The first stage of an innovative pilot p roject with Hallam Engineering and Kilawatt Partners designed to obtain energy savings from simple low-cost and no-cost behavioral changes met its goal of enrolling 10 facilities in 2006. The contract with Hallam is to obtain MWh energy savings by taking the leve l of energy (electricity and fuel) used during the prior three years as the baseline and then addressing such issues as improper use of equipment, inadequate controls, schedule inefficiencies, and wasteful practices (e.g., leaving lights and equipment on when no t in use or running the heating and cooling systems simultaneously). The 10 facilities participating are four schools, five state buildings, and one college.

## 1.1.2. RESIDENTIAL ENERGY SERVICES

Efficiency Vermont’s services to the state’s residents in 2006 helped 37,930 Vermont

households save 29,600 MWh 2 

### of annual electricity use. This represents a 4% increase in the number of participants and a decrease in savings of 6% compared with 2005. The lower-than-anticipated sale of energy-efficient products is the primary cause of the decrease in MWh savings and is explained in more detail in the Retail Efficient Products section of the report. Our efforts in 2006 also helped Vermont households reduce summer peak demand by 4,300 kW per year, reduce winter peak demand by 4,700 kW per year, and save $23,400,000 in lifetime econom ic value. Since Efficiency Vermont’s inception in 2000, residential sector resource savings have accumulated a total lifetime

economic value of more than $135,000,000.

We continued to apply our efforts to acqu ire cost-effective energy savings through resource acquisition while supporting market transformation efforts that will advance energy savings in the long term. As we have done in the past, we used a range of

informational, direct-service, and financial inc entive strategies to encourage the use of energy-efficient lighting, appliances, and he ating and cooling systems in new and existing homes by helping our customers achieve their go als of living in homes that offer increased comfort and quality along with affordabilit y and durability. Our ongoing partnership

with retailers, manufacturers, contractors, and design professionals is critical to our success in serving the Vermont residential market.

In 2006, Efficiency Vermont continued to work closely with Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. (VGS) and the Burlington Electric Department (BED) to provide services to households

in their territories. We also continued to w ork in coordination with regional and national energy efficiency organizations and initiatives, both to have a larger influence on wider initiatives that benefit Vermont ratepayers by leveraging their resources and market reach and to stay abreast of emer ging technologies and approaches.



## RETAIL EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

Efficiency Vermont continued to promote EN ERGY STAR qualified products to assist Vermont households and businesses in making energy-efficient choices when purchasing new or replacement products. In 2006, we used several approaches to promote efficient products, including providing consumer rebates, participating in retailer buy-downs and manufacturer markdowns, supporting ret ailers with promotions, and educating

consumers. A critical factor in our success was the strong partnerships we have built with retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers of ENERGY STAR qualified products. We also have continued to participate in regional and national energy efficiency product promotion as well as research and testing initiat ives that leverage outside resources, help

information.

Savings from CFL sales were higher than init ially budgeted amounts but fell significantly short of the final savings expectations for several key reasons. Very strong savings in the last quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 caused the ret ail efficient products market strategy team to increase participation est imates and reduce coupon values. These actions represented attempts to increase the cost-effectiveness of CFL promotion and manage participation within budgeted amounts. However , in contrast to the experience of 2005, when reduced coupon values did not affect pa rticipation, the reduction in 2006 had a significant impact, lowering sales of CFLs through a key retail outlet by 79,000 products compared with 2005 sales. Additionally, although the overall number of products sold increased in 2006, the percentage of lighting products used in commercial applications decreased significantly, resulting in a signif icantly lower per-prod uct savings amount relative to 2005. Finally, market demands on manufacturers put significant burdens on their staffs that manage buy-downs, causing de lays in the negotiation, implementation, and placement of efficient lighting products. The delay in making products available to consumers also reduced participation. Despit e these issues, the market is well positioned for 2007, based on the following accomplishments in 2006:

• Retailer participation in eight nego tiated cooperative agreements increased, making reasonably priced quality CFLs widely available without the need for consumer coupons. Sales of bulbs from retailers engaged in cooperative agreements were 59% above comparable sales in 2005.

• Increase in the availability of a range of s izes and types of CFLs, a result of several conditions, including increased product ty pe availability from distributors;

continued outreach to and education of retailers by Efficiency Vermont retail account managers about the range of prod ucts available; and increase in consumer requests for three-way, dimmable, and enca psulated CFLs. Sales of specialty bulbs, tracked as part of the negotiated cooperative agreements, increased by 430% in

2006 over 2005 sales.

• CFLs of better overall quality are now available in Vermont stores, especially specialty bulbs, such as three-way, dimmabl e, and encapsulated types. The results of quality testing done by third parties were made available to retailers to encourage stocking of higher-quality bulbs.

• Increase in national chain p roduct availability and receptivity to promoting CFLs. An example is our outreach to more actively engage Home Depot, which not only increased Home Depot efficient product sales by 125% over the previous year’s sales but also resulted in opportunities for Efficiency Vermont staff to provide instore home improvement classes and store events encouraging adult and child
participation in CFL promotiona l activities and education.

• Increase in national, regional, an d local media focus on CFLs.

• There is a greater general understanding of the role of energy efficiency in issues related to jobs, global warming, energy supply, and security.

Negotiated cooperative prom otions were well used by Ace, Aubuchon, and True Value hardware stores and the Shaw’s grocery chain to make CFLs widely available to Vermonters without their having to use coupon s. This approach was well received by the

retailers, who indicated that it was much ea sier for them and their customers and was preferable to using coupons. Hardware stores in general continued to be strong partners

### in promoting CFLs with co-op advertising and store promot ions, although for some, keeping the shelves stocked was challenging beca use of the increase in demand for CFLs. More engaging ENERGY STAR displays that pr esented lighting products with a hands-on meter comparing the energy use of a CFL and an incandescent bulb were very popular

with the Ace and True Value stores. Effi ciency Vermont implemented 18 of these ENERGY STAR end-cap displays used in hardware stores across the state. The ENERGY STAR end-cap at Martin’s Hardware in Middlebury was used as a backdrop for a WCAX “Across the Fence” segment on energy-efficient products.

In 2006 Efficiency Vermont made significant progress toward achieving the performance indicator of having increased participation with the larg e grocery store chains in Vermont. Shaw’s participated in a negotiated cooperative agreement in the fall promoting “earth-friendly” products, including CFLs. The promotion included freestanding displays with Sylvania products, and all the Shaw’s stores in Vermont participated. Hannaford had difficulty securing a large enough supply of CFL bulbs from its suppliers to participate in the buy-downs. Efficiency Vermont staff wor ked with Price Chopper and GE to move forward with the CFL promotion in Vermont, and, despite some initial setbacks, Price Chopper began its CFL promotion at the end of December 2006; it will continue through

June 2007.

Along with the other sponsors of th e Northeast Appliance and Lighting Initiative, Efficiency Vermont was given an “Excellence in ENERGY STAR Promotion” award by the Environmental Protection Agency for work in the promoting the sale of CFLs in grocery stores. The award specifically recognizes th e Shaw’s promotion discussed previously.

In 2006, Efficiency Vermont was approached by eight Vermont schools that wanted to use the sale of CFLs as a fund-raiser. Efficiency Vermont facilitated as the schools approached local retailers to use a buy-down and waived th e “resale” prohibition for this purpose. The typical sale was around 200 bulbs, and the pro ject was often undertaken not just for fundraising purposes, but as an extension of the energy efficiency discussions in the school curriculum. Approximately 1,000 CFLs were distributed using school fund-raisers, with

schools such as Marlboro and Mount Anthony in Bennington participating.

Other energy-efficient products promoted by Efficiency Vermont in 2006 included:

• A selected group of ENERGY STAR qualif ied clothes washing machines specified as Tier 3a by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency. Providing rebates for only these machines emphasized for consumers the most energy-efficient tier of

machines available and steered them to purchase those. These more energyefficient clothes washers were promoted with a $50 mail-in rebate beginning on April 1, 2006. Although the number of mode ls eligible for the rebate was reduced by approximately 50%, relative to all ENERGY STAR clothes washers, participation since April only droppe d by only 10%, indicating a successful campaign, with 2,974 Tier 3a clothes washing machines sold in Vermont in 2006.

• ENERGY STAR qualified air conditione rs were promoted through the summer

with a $25 mail-in rebate, and 2,500 were sold in 2006. The number of room air conditioners sold typically tracks closely with weather, so given the cool spring and early summer in Vermont, overall room air conditioner sales were down, resulting in 44% fewer ENERGY STAR air conditioners sold than in the warmer 2005 period.

### • ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, torchieres, and floor lamps were promoted with $10 instant coupon s. Sales of lighting fixtures, torchieres, and floor lamps increased approximately 58% in 2006 from 2005, despite the lack of eligible product available from the manufacturers. (On October 1, 2005, the ENERGY STAR fixtures specification wa s updated from Version 3.0 to Version 4.0, resulting in greatly reduced numbers of available ENERGY STAR labeled products of all types in stores. It took manufacturers well into 2006 to provide adequate eligible product sel ection to Vermont retailers.)



## RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY NEW CONSTRUCTION

In 2006, Efficiency Vermont continued to provide services to builders and buyers of new homes in Vermont to support them in building to Vermont ENERGY STAR Homes (VESH) criteria, in partnership with VGS. Our services included ENERGY STAR labeling for qualified homes, energy code support, plan reviews, technical assistance, site inspections, energy ratings, and performance testing.

Overall total savings from energy-efficient design, construction, appliances, and lighting

in new homes increased 5% in 2006 over 2005 sa vings. Thirty-two more ENERGY STAR

labeled homes were constructed in 2006, for a total of 509 homes built to the ENERGY

STAR standard. In addition, 28 new builders participated in building to the Vermont ENERGY STAR Homes standards, representing a 15% increase over the prior year.

A number of changes in 2006 significantly impa cted the Vermont building community, including comprehensive changes made by the EPA to ENERGY STAR Home specifications, National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) standards primarily focused on residential HVAC, opp ortunities presented by the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT), and changes to RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network). These changes have presented Effici ency Vermont and the Vermont building community with implementation challenges but will ultimately improve the performance and energy efficiency of new homes.

The EPA made comprehensive changes to th e requirements for building an ENERGY

STAR labeled home effective Jul y 1, 2006, with full compliance effective after December 31, 2006. The changes were implemented after an exhaustive national review process and are designed to significantly improve the performance and reduce the energy usage of new homes. One of the most significant changes is the requirement for a thermal bypass checklist that effectively necessitates a new site visit during the construction phase. The additional site visit is a “pre-drywall” inspe ction provided by Efficiency Vermont. This additional inspection created a number of challenges for participating builders and Efficiency Vermont. The first challenge was ensuring that this new step did not delay the building process and create additional costs for the builder or owner. Most builders in

Vermont have not worked in locations that require an outside inspection during the building process, so scheduling this process wa s entirely new to most of the building community. Builders were initially quite resi stant to the new requirements because of concerns related to the tight schedules of insulation and drywall subcontractors. During the spring and summer, Efficiency Vermont he ld four well-attended workshops around the state to explain the changes and the reason s for the changes and to encourage builders to continue participating in the Verm ont ENERGY STAR Homes program. These workshops included stakeholder meetings in Rutland and Burlington and a presentation

### at the Home Builders and Remodelers Associ ation of Northern Vermont in December

and the one at the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Southern Vermont in November. In addition, a preview of the changes was given to builders at the Better Buildings by Design Conference 2006 in February.

Efficiency Vermont sent two direct mailings to 2,700 builders and others in the building community in the state to reinforce the new st andards. Efficiency Vermont also included articles about the changes to the ENERGY STA R requirements in the November Builder News distributed to 2,800 individuals in the building community. In 2006, of the homes that achieved the ENERGY STAR label, very few passed the more stringent pre-drywall inspection and bypass checklist. Efficiency Vermont and Vermont Gas Systems will continue to engage with and educate builders and to work with building supply chains to stock new products that will assist the builders in meeting these newer standards.

Several significant changes to RESNET’s technical guidelines became effective on July 1, 2006. These changes had implications for builder s and Efficiency Vermont, and included:

• A new rating system that changed the scoring the builders were accustomed to using

• New verification protocols for insulation quality and duct testing

• New prescriptive and performance specific ations that could potentially increase

labor costs

• New Energy Rating software

• New verification methods

All of the RESNET-required changes were met by July 1, 2006, including the use of new rating scales, protocols, softwar e, and verification methods.

Partnerships with the Vermont building commu nity and building associations have been a significant resource in helping communic ate these changes to members. The Home

Builders and Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont (HBRA-NV) and the Home

Builders and Remodelers Association of Sout hern Vermont (HBRA-SV) were essential in what became a team approach to communicat ing the new ENERGY STAR requirements and rating system changes to the building com munity. These two associations provided additional support to their members to help them understand the changes in the ENERGY STAR requirements; support include d posting information on association Web sites, running articles in organization news letters, and giving Efficiency Vermont opportunities to communicate the changes at the HBRA Builders Council and the HBRASV general meetings, both in November of 2006. Efficiency Vermont co-presented two training programs to builders around the state, with Building for Social Responsibility (developers of the Vermont Builds Greener standards), and the U.S. Green Building Council (sponsors of LEED for Homes). At the end of the year, Efficiency Vermont was

honored to be named the 2006 Member of the Year by the Home Builders and

Remodelers Association of Southern Vermont.

EPACT provided new opportunities for residential builders and owners to build more energy-efficient homes. Many in the Vermon t building community were well positioned to take advantage of this tax credit because of the high level of energy efficiency building practices they have developed, supported through their participation in building Vermont ENERGY STAR Homes and years of attend ance at the Better Buildings by Design

### Conference. As of the end of 2006, more than 88 Vermont houses have met the EPACT requirements. This represents 3.5% of new ho mes, a level of partic ipation that is very strong compared with that of other districts in the Northeast. Efficiency Vermont supported this level of partic ipation by offering a tax credi t workshop at the 2006 Better Buildings by Design Conference, providing inf ormation on the Web site, and providing ratings and verification supp ort to every VESH-enrolled building that meets the tax credit level of energy efficiency.



## EXISTING HOMES

Efficiency Vermont continued to provide servi ces to acquire energy savings in the existing homes market through multiple approaches th at include limited and targeted direct services, particularly focused on low-incom e Vermonters; technical assistance and information, discussed in depth in the Efficien cy Vermont-Wide section; and increasingly through supporting other energy product and se rvice providers to reduce the energy use of the existing home customer.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR 2006 was a significant year in the developme nt of an economically viable Home Performance with ENERGY STAR industry in Ve rmont. At year’s end, 18 individuals from 14 companies around the state had completed their certification as Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors, and an additional 12 were in the testing process for completing certification. In July 2006, consistent with an overall strategy to promote work for certified contractors, E fficiency Vermont stopped providing home energy audits, unless warranted by high elec tric use. All requests for audits are now referred to certified contractors by phone or through their listing on the Efficiency Vermont Web site “Marketplace” page. A total of 161 Home Performance with ENERGY STAR projects were completed in 2006, resulting in savings of 120 MWh. This is an 18%

increase over the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR projects completed in 2005 and confirms the successful nurturing and growth of businesses providing highly qualified residential energy services. Th e average Home Performance with ENERGY STAR project cost was $4,000. Efficiency Vermont continued to provide multiple support strategies to advance the success of this app roach. We held four training sessions around the state that were attended by approx imately 50 contractors. Costs for the training sessions are kept minimal to encourage partic ipation. Efficiency Vermont also provides free training and mentoring to enable contractors to prepare for their certification exams. On November 1, 2006, Efficiency Vermont held a one-day “Building Science 101” course at Vermont Technical College that was a ttended by 25 contractors, two real estate professionals, and 45 students and teachers from Stafford (Rutland) and Randolph technical centers. The daylong cl ass offered participants the opportunity to learn basic building science principles and to learn about becoming a certified Home Performance

with ENERGY STAR contractor. The class was certified for realtor continuing education credits by the Vermont real estate board. In December, introductory sessions were held in

Brattleboro, Rutland, and Williston to advise interested contractors of the benefits and requirements of being a Home Performance wi th ENERGY STAR contractor. Efficiency Vermont continued to support contractors on ce they received certification. Support included paying the cost of certification and offering 10% rebates or 0% financing on equipment needed to perform home energy au dits. Efficiency Vermont also provided free
mentoring.

### Efficiency Vermont has promoted the use of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR to Vermont homeowners through advertising, placing articles in newspapers, providing contractor lists to customers, and provid ing co-op advertising funds to certified

contractors. In the fall of 2006, the EPA laun ched its contractor marketing kit, which provides certified contractors with password -protected access to EPA-developed Home Performance with ENERGY STAR advertising templates that can be downloaded and provided directly to media outlets for advertising. The reduced interest rate financing agreement was expanded from one bank participating in 2005 to four banks participating

in 2006, with 16 loans initiated in 2006 for house holds to finance measures installed by

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR co ntractors. The average Home Performance with ENERGY STAR loan by participating lenders was about $8,000 in 2006. To provide more specific and timely feedback, the survey and process for communicating customers’ comments to Home Performance contractors was improved.

As Efficiency Vermont continues to build an inf rastructure of certified contractors and develops their capacity to provide compreh ensive electric and fossil fuel efficiency services, the organization has continued to o ffer incentives for existing home customers to reduce their electric consumption. In m any cases, this means provi ding customers with an on-site analysis of their homes and iden tifying sources of efficiency opportunities.

Services to these customers include direct ins tallation of lighting and water conservation measures and incentives for replacing inefficient refrigerators, electric heat and hot water systems and other custom electric efficien cy measures. Efficiency Vermont continues to partner with Vermont Gas Systems to identify opportunities to replace electric heat and hot water with cost-effective natural gas equipment.

Incentives continue to be o ffered for the installation of new hot air furnaces equipped with ECM (electronically commutated motor) fan motors and for the installation of new central air conditioning systems meet ing or exceeding ENERGY STAR performance

standards. In 2006, 29 ECM fan motors and 15 ENERGY STAR centra l air conditioning systems were installed.

Efficiency Vermont’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR service received an

ENERGY STAR award for Excellence in Home Improvement from the U.S. EPA for 2006. The award recognizes the work Efficien cy Vermont has done to develop a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program in Vermont through recruiting, training, mentoring, and supporting market ing efforts for contractors.

Services for Low-Income Residents Although many of Efficiency Vermont’s ac tivities designed to reduce energy use in

households assist low-income Vermonters, we ha ve also engaged in specific outreach to help those households most burdened by high energy costs. A discussion of our services aimed at low-income residents living in subsi dized multifamily housing follows this

section.

Efficiency Vermont continues to work closely with Vermont’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) to provide direct installation of energy- and water-saving products and cost-effective replacement of inefficient refrige rators and electric heat and hot water systems in low-income, single-family household s. With Efficiency Vermont providing resources for electricity savings, WAP is able to use its funds for thermal improvements to homes. In 2006, Efficiency Vermont provided co ntinued training for WAP providers to

### support the stable and mature partne rship between the two organizations. In 2006, 1,138 low-income households participated, with an aver age annual electrical energy cost savings

of $160. The number of households served in 2006 through WAP was approximately the

same as in 2005, when 1,151 were served. Lo w-income Vermonters served by WAP will

save a total of $180,000 on their combined electric bills as a result of the energy efficiency

installations made in 2006.

In 2006, in partnership with the Low In come Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), more than 29,000 summer and winter en ergy tips were inserted in mailings to low-income residents living in s ingle-family and multifamily housing. Efficiency Vermont provided 14,000 coupons for free CFLs, redeemable at all participating hardware stores in Vermont, to LIHEAP for distribution in its November mailing.

Efficiency Vermont has been exploring addition al ways to provide cost-effective energy efficiency services to low-income Vermonters through a number of initiatives, including:

• Food shelf distribution of CFLs pilot. In 2006, Efficiency Vermont piloted the distribution of CFLs and energy effici ency information at th ree food shelves. Approximately 150 bulbs were distributed , and the pilots were enthusiastically reviewed by the food shelves that part icipated. Results are being evaluated to explore continuation or expansion in 2007.

• Mobile home park initiative. This effort continues work begun in 2005, done in

collaboration with VISTA voluntee rs. In 2006, a Vermont State Housing Authority–managed mobile home park in Hinesburg with 50 homes was the focus of efficiency efforts. In addition to direct ins tallation of CFLs at 40% of the homes, Efficiency Vermont provided information to residents in response to their interest in ways to address hard water prob lems in their hot water tanks.



## MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SERVICES

Although we continue to be engaged in near ly all subsidized multifamily projects, Efficiency Vermont had fewer of these projects close in 2006, completing 49 subsidized projects, compared with 69 in 2005. This resulted in a decrease of savings in the multifamily housing market of 34% from the previous year’s savings. One significant reason for the decrease in savings is th at fuel-switch projects have become less economically feasible with the increase in fuel oil costs. Energy savings from fuel-switch projects in subsidized multifamily housing declined from 1,070 MWh in 2005 to 584

MWh in 2006.

We continue to face significant challeng es in successfully engaging private market rate multifamily housing owners. In 2006, we complet ed nine market rate projects, compared with 19 in 2005. To help address this lower pa rticipation, we developed a prescriptive form to be used when property improvements are made during tenant turnover. This form presents a convenient way for property owners to interact with Efficiency Vermont at the times when they most often implement unit upgrades.

## 1.1.3. EFFICIENCY VER MONT–WIDE ACTIVITIES

Many Efficiency Vermont activities and servic es serve participants that span the business and residential sectors. This section highligh ts activities that engaged Vermonters across multiple markets.

Community Energy Initiatives Vermont communities continue to provide mult iple and rich opportunities for energy efficiency engagement that reflect the uniq ueness and spirit of different towns. Many communities have approached Efficiency Verm ont for support with energy efficiency events and projects. We assist communities in a number of diverse ways depending on their specific needs and goals. We have he lped local energy committees through financial support for SERG and technical assistance to community groups. To support towns’ efforts at replicating successful community CFL ev ents, we developed case studies of the successful Poultney and Manchester Change a Light Challenge events for community organizers to use as a guide. In 2006, we support ed many communities by staffing partner retail outlets during weekend events, coord inating with Vermont Energy Education Program (VEEP) activities, and supplying informa tional materials and template designs. In addition, we have six new comparative meters to loan to groups or businesses that provide a hands-on demonstration of the en ergy use of a compact fluorescent compared with that of an incandescent light bulb.

The Manchester Change a Light Challenge, which had set a goal of replacing 40,000 incandescent bulbs to CFLs between October 2005 and Town Meeting Day 2006, completed its mission on April 2, 2006, with more than 42,000 bulbs sold to Manchesterarea households and businesses. The Manchester event mobilized a wide segment of the community and demonstrated the power of grassroots-led community action coupled with strong, dedicated leadership and effective partnerships. During the six months of the Manchester Challenge, the event received considerable media attention, which drew attention to CFLs’ energy-saving features, availability of siz es, increased life, and reduced impact on the environment.

The community approach continues to ins pire other towns, such as Bennington,

Brattleboro, and Pittsford, to create even ts around CFLs and other ENERGY STAR products. The Town of Pittsford, which has no hardware store, approached Efficiency Vermont for help in making CFLs available in the town. Efficiency Vermont worked with an independent supplier to provide both gene ral stores in Pittsford with CFLs so they would be available to residents during the ev ent. Efficiency Vermont also helped the stores negotiate the terms of the promotion wi th the supplier and staffed a booth at the “Pittsford Fun Day.” The small town of Pittsford (population 3,140) sold 3,000 bulbs during the event.

Much of the focus of these town events has been on encouraging the use of CFLs and engaging local retailers in promoting CFLs and other ENERGY STAR products. Two

communities, Hardwick and Northfield, were ch osen as the two pilot towns to target activities for fulfilling the contractual pe rformance indicators for community energy initiatives with a goal of 35% participation and , in one town, a reduction in annual energy use of 3% from 2005 by December 31, 2008. The inten t of the energy initiative is to build

### grassroots support for energy savings that span the residential and business sectors. This effort is intended to go beyond the community events of the past three years, which primarily have focused on encouraging th e use of CFLs. Activities in 2006 for both selected towns were primarily focused on building community support for the energy initiative, including forming town energy st eering committees: the Hardwick Energy
Action Resource Team (HEART) and the N orthfield Energy Action Team (NEAT). Additional activities have included interacting with business groups, schools, and environmental organizations to build a town “inf rastructure” for the successful launch of

the initiatives.

Efficiency Vermont’s Better Buildings by Design Conference In 2006, the Better Buildings by Design Conference was attended by 1,197 people, a 19%

increase from 2005, who came to learn and network at the 44 workshops and other

conference events. The conference, billed as the region’s premier design and construction conference featuring interactive learning abou t building durability, efficiency, and value, drew a record number of total participants, with 61% being first-time participants. We were especially pleased with the results of sp ecial targeting to increase the attendance of particular professionals, including a 100% increase in contractors; a 127% increase in manufacturers and suppliers; a 76% increase in institutional, commercial, and industrial customers; and a 58% increase in engineers compared with the 2005 attendees. The allotted number of vendor spaces, 45, sold out before the end of 2005, indicating tremendous interest from energy product and service providers in having the opportunity to interact with the design professionals, co ntractors, and facility engineering staff who

attend the conference. The 2006 conference was rated “good” to “excellent” by 89% of the participants evaluating it. The conference was ab le to increase the level of sponsorships in 2006, earning more sponsorship revenues than in previous years, which supports Efficiency Vermont’s goal of making the conference more self-supporting in the future and indicates the value sponsors place on the conference.

Efficiency Vermont Web Site The Efficiency Vermont Web site is where Ve rmonters increasingly go to get information about energy efficiency and refe rrals to retailers, contract ors, and energy service and design professionals. In May 2006, a newly desi gned Web site was launched based on recommendations from Web testing of resi dential and business users. In 2006, there was a 44% increase in Web site visits compared with 2005 usage, with approximately 232,000 site visits, an average of 647 per day, ma de by 110,000 visitors. The average visitor spent

more than 11 minutes at the site, which is we ll above the typical visit for informational

Web sites. A new feature to the Web site adde d this year was the “Send link/E-mail this page” function, which was heavily used by vi sitors. The archive of “Ask Rachael” columns continues to get significant traffic, es pecially columns addressing heating and insulation/weatherization. Another aspect of the site launched in 2006 was the pilot for prescriptive forms. This pilot is intended to make using prescriptive forms easier and less time-consuming for trade and supplier part ners who process repeat forms for their customers. We intend to use the information ga ined through the pilot to launch a more comprehensive Web-based prescriptive form process in 2007. The “Marketplace” section,

which refers site visitors to retailers, co ntractors, builders, and designers who have qualified as energy-efficient product or servi ce providers, had a 68% increase in traffic over the same period in 2005, averaging 17 visits per day for resident ial services and five visits per day for business services. At the end of December 2006, 629 businesses were

### listed to help Vermonters locate ener gy-efficient product and service providers throughout the state.

Customer Service The telephone call volume to Efficien cy Vermont customer service in 2006 was 12,900, which is roughly comparable to the number of calls received in 2005. There was more

than a 100% increase over 2005 in the number of e-mails sent to Efficiency Vermont

customer service in 2006. Of the more th an 900 e-mails received, approximately twothirds, or more than 500 e-mails, were generate d in response to an “Ask Rachael” column, almost four times as many e-mails as the column generated in 2005. This increase is likely a result of the “Ask Rachael” columns’ gr eater distribution in 2006 and Vermonters’ increased use of the Internet to gather information.

In 2006, more customers knew more about Effi ciency Vermont before they called the tollfree number. Approximately 70% of customer s calling the toll-free Efficiency Vermont number called regarding specific services or rebates. The customer service department supplied these customers with rebate or ot her support material where appropriate, answered service questions, or re directed their calls to sp ecific service intake staff

members.

Approximately 25% of callers either were look ing for help deciphering high electric bills or had specific technical questio ns. The actual customer utility data are used as the basis for an in-depth discussion about household ma keup and behavior with the customer. An analysis of the customer’s energy use is perf ormed during the call. The customer is also directed to possible Efficiency Vermont services, such as a fuel switch of electric hot water or energy-efficient lighting and appliances, whi ch may reduce the customer's energy

usage.

Demand continued for informational resou rces that could help Vermonters reduce energy use in their homes, including re quests for use-assessment energy checklists, appliance usage charts, and hot water heater guides. The number of Vermonters wanting to take action to reduce their home energy use remains high. In 2006, 75 Vermonters participated in completing a home energy survey, which includes obtaining assessment results from Efficiency Vermon t’s customer service staff.

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

offers a free meter loan service. Customers c an use a meter free of charge for two weeks. The meter can measure any 120-volt plug- in device and registers kWh usage and estimated monthly cost. A total of 216 cust omers took advantage of the meter loan in 2006. To meet the increase in requests and reduce the wait time for the loaned electric meter, we ordered an additional 14 meters, making 32 meters available for Vermonters to

borrow.

Media Efficiency Vermont continued to primari ly use a public relations strategy in 2006 to effectively communicate with Vermonters, using multiple media coverage with a total of 614 placements. The stories, features, articl es, and segments used several approaches to stimulate interest in energy efficiency, including featuring homeowners and businesses that had made an energy efficiency imp rovement, giving demonstrations, answering

### frequently asked questions, offering energy tips, and highlighting new energy-efficient technologies. Following are some examples:

• The “Ask Rachael” column, which offers en ergy efficiency advice to households, appeared in 15 community newspapers and several newsletters, with a total of 220 placements. At the end of 2006, one of the Vermont daily newspapers began to feature the “Ask Rachael” column one day a week.

• A story featuring Harbour Industries, Inc.’s in vestment in energy-efficient lighting and its annual savings of $45,000 and 510,000 kWh was well received by the press and was included in a story in the Burlington Free Press , WCAX-TV coverage, and

The Boston Globe

.

• Several members of Efficiency Vermont staff appeared on Vermont radio and television programs to answer quest ions about energy efficiency, including appearances on “Across the Fence” ( WCAX), “The Mark Johnson Show”
(WDEV), “Switchboard” (WVPR), and Vermon t Public Television. There were a total of 149 radio and television placem ents featuring Efficiency Vermont.

• A total of 28 articles targeted to the in terests of member organizations appeared in newsletters and publications for d esign professionals, trade organizations, business groups, and utilities customers.

• A new column designed to reach the business community was developed in 2006 and will be launched in early 2007. The colu mn “Energy Business with Dan and Paul” answers questions frequently asked by small businesses about how to reduce their energy use. The column will appe ar in business journals and magazines

around the state.

• We performed targeted outreach to pl ace stories in bordering out-of-state media

that broadcast into communities in the so utheast and southwest portions of Vermont and have significant numbers of readers/listeners in those areas. In 2006, 10 radio stories and nine newspaper stori es ran in 11 out-of-state media outlets in these locations. These media placements help reach Vermont residents in areas of the state not served by in-state media.

Information Technology In late 2006, a major upgrade of Efficien cy Vermont’s information technology (IT) system was released. The primary goal of this upgrade, called KITT Plus,, was to reduce

the time staff needed ed to access and use information in support of their work., and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of th e software. KITT Plus accomplished this by integrating a previously unsupported reside ntial business process into a redesigned user interface. Because of this upgrade, used by di fferent parts of the organization, critical

customer information can easi ly be shared between customer service, residential, and business groups.

KITT Plus was also built using a new develop ment language created by Microsoft called

C#. The shift to C#, as well as the creatio n of an entirely new code base, provides a In addition,n KITT Plus was built upon a more modern and stable development platform that will improve Efficiency Vermont’s abilit y to respond more qu ickly and effectively to new functional requirements that may be n eeded in the delivery of the Efficiency Vermont contract. The IT system upgrade included improvements to the development

structure that would decrease the amount of time needed to make changes and improvements. Upgrades to the development platform were made early in 2006 in anticipation of the pending sale of Delphi, which had been in use for the past six years.

### Efficiency Vermont moved to the Microsoft -supported C# development language because it is a system designed for rapid development of Windows and internet-based applications.

Regional and National Energy Efficiency Efforts In 2006, Efficiency Vermont continued to fully e ngage with strategically targeted regional and national organizations and initiatives that advance energy efficiency efforts in Vermont. Our relationships with these larger efforts enable us to leverage regional and national resources; strengthen partnershi ps; and influence and learn about new technologies, policies, and approaches that can benefit Vermonters.

# 4.1. CUSTOMER CREDIT PROGRAM

4.1.1. NARRATIVE

The Customer Credit program (CCP) provid es an alternative program path for large businesses that meet program eligibility criteria . The program enables customers with the capability and resources to identify, analyz e, and undertake efficiency projects and selfimplement energy efficiency measures with finan cial assistance from Efficiency Vermont (EVT). CCP customers can apply for financial inc entives for any retrofit or market-driven project that saves electrical energy and passes the Vermont soci etal cost-effectiveness test. Once a customer elects to participate in CCP, that customer is no longer eligible to participate in other EVT programs.

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

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

Eligible Market

To be eligible for CCP, customers must:

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

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

• Have ISO 14001 certification.Prior Year Current

### 4.2.2. DEFINITIONS AND REPORT TEMPLATE

The table templates that appear in the EVT Annual Report 2006 were developed as a collaborative effort between EVT, the Vermont Department of Public Service, the Ener gy Efficiency Utility Contract Administrator and Burlington Electric Department. Note that there are two major table

formats, one for the markets and services summa ry and the other for breakdowns of end use, county and utility savings.

The definitions of the data reported in these ta bles follow. The numbers in parentheses on the template correlate to the footnoted definitions that immediately follow.Prior

Footnotes for the report table templates:

(1) Activity for the prior reporting year.

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

(3) Projected costs for Year 2006 are estimates only and pr ovided for informational purpose s. The EVT contract is based on three-year cumulative budgets and savings goals.

(4) Data reported for the contract period star ting January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.

(5) Data reported for the contract period star ting March 1, 2000 through December 31, 2006.

(6) Number of customers with installed measures. For data reported in the Prior Year column, “# participants with installations” is counted by summing unique physical location s (sites) where efficiency measures have been installed for the reporting period. For multifamily projects, a physical loca tion is defined as the building itself, not the individual

units. For data reported in every column except Prior Year, “# participants with installa tions” is counted by summing unique physical locations (sites) where efficiency measures have been installed for the reporting period. For multifamily projects the “# of particip ants with installations” is counted by summing the number of individual units. Under “Cumulative starting 1/1/06” and Cumulative starti ng 3/1/00, customers are counted once, regardless of the number of times the customer participat es in EVT services during 2000-2006.

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

(8) Number of customers who had analysis at any time and have installed measures during the reporting period. This reflects the number of customers who completed a custom project during the reporting period. Under Cumulative starting 1/1/06 and Cumulative starti ng 3/1/00, customers are counted once, regardless of the number of times the customer participates in EVT services during 2000-2006.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(15) Direct payments to participants to defra y the costs of specific efficiency measures.(16) Incentives paid to manufacturers, wholesalers, builde rs, retailers or other non-customer stakeholders that do not defray the costs of specific efficiency measures.

(17) Subtotal reflecting total incentive costs, (15) + (16).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(27) Total Resource Benefits (TRB) savings for measures installed during the current reporting year. TRB includes gross electric benefits, fossil fuel savings and water savings. TRB is stated in 2006 dollars throughout the report. Prior year data have been adjusted for 2006 dollars by escalating the pre-2003 TRB by 6.8% discount rate for 3 years and inflating TRB by 10.76% (% CPI change for the Northeast Ur ban region from January 2003 to January 2006) to convert to 2006 dollars. Whenever Efficiency Vermont works in coll aboration with other providers of efficiency services, the same savings may be counted and reported by more than on e organization. As a result, the total statewide savings may be less than the sum of all the organizations reporting savings.

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

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

(30) Annualized MWh savings per participant, net at generation, (25) / (6).

(31) Average lifetime, in years, of me asures weighted by savings, (26)/(25).

(32) Incentives which are not yet paid to a customer but where there is a signed contract as of December 31, 2006 for projects which will complete after December 31, 2006.

(33) Adjusted Annualized MWh savings at generation and net of all approved adjustment factors (e.g., free riders, spill over, line loss) for measures installed during the current repo rt period. This data includes savings for measures that have not yet expired during the reporting period and exclude s savings for measures that have reached the end of their specified lifetime.

(34) Adjusted impact of measures at time of winter system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. This data includes savings for measures that have not yet expired during the reporting period and excludes savings for measures that have reached the end of their specified lifetime.(35) Adjusted impact of measures at time of summer system peak, at generation, net of adjustment factors. This data includes savings for measures that have not yet expired during the reporting period and excludes savings for measures that have reached the end of their specified lifetime.

Items 36-45 reflect installed measures for the current reporting period.

(36) Number of customers with installed measur es for the End Use, Utility and County Breakdown.

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

. This is the same number as reported on line (25).
