contained in thosefixtures covered in this rulemaking.Building Technologies Programeere.energy.gov74Installation, Maintenance, and RepairCosts• Installation costs: May not change with more energy efficient metal halidelamp ballast designs as new regulations may not change either the ballastlifetime or the labor costs for installing a standards-compliant ballast.• Maintenance costs: DOE does not expect that maintenance or labor costsfor metal halide lamp fixtures will change with more energy efficient ballastdesigns.– However, more energy efficient ballasts could affect useful life (e.g., longer) of the lampsoperated by the ballasts.– Longer life lamps would defer maintenance.– DOE does not expect energy efficient ballast to shorten lamp life.• Repair costs: May not be a part of the LCC analysis because metal halidelamp ballasts are not “repaired,” as ballasts are generally replaced at theend of their useful life.Building Technologies Programeere.energy.gov75Request for CommentsItem 30DOE welcomes comments on how to developinstallation, maintenance, and (if applicable) repair costs formetal halide lamp fixtures. If the lamps operated by moreefficient ballasts would be affected, DOE invites comments onwhere re-lamping practices (i.e., spot or group re-lamping)would change as a result of energy conservation standards.Building Technologies Programeere.energy.gov76Steps in the Standards Rulemaking:Preliminary AnalysisFrameworkDocumentPreliminaryAnalysisNOPRFinalRuleEffectiveDateMarket &TechnologyScreeningAnalysisEngineeringAnalysisShipmentsAnalysisNationalImpactAnalysisMarkups forEquipment PriceDeterminationLife-CycleCost andPaybackPeriod AnalysisEnergy Use andEnd-Use LoadCharacterizationBuilding Technologies Programeere.energy.gov77Shipment AnalysisPurpose•Quantify changes in product shipments due to potential new oramended energy efficiency standards.Method• The shipments model will rely on a range of data sources.• The model will consider only shipments of covered products.• Two possible approaches:– Shipment projections based on historical data.–Shipment projections based on modeling the installed base ofmetal halide lamp fixtures nationally.TeBuilding Technologies Programeere.energy.gov78Base-Case Shipments ForecastApproach• Depicts the situation where new or amended standards are notadopted.• Depicts the current mix of ballast efficiencies sold in the absenceof new regulation.• Shipments forecast by market segment: (1) new constructionsales; (2) replacements for failed units; and (3) retrofits.• Data requirements:– Historical shipments– Breakdown of shipments by marketsegment (e.g., new construction,replacements, and retrofits), end-use sector, and product class.Item 31DOE welcomes recommendations on sources of data forshipments of metal halide lamp fixture by product class.

Value on ConsumerSavings• DOE calculates the national net present value (NPV) of theconsumer savings resulting from energy conservation standards inconjunction with the NES.– DOE calculates annual equipment expenditures by multiplying theprice per unit by forecasted shipments.– The difference between base- and standards-case scenarios givesthe national energy bill savings and increased expenditure in dollars.– For the metal halide lamp fixture rulemaking, this differential will likelyresult in an NES offset against increased ballast expenditures.– The difference each year between energy bill savings and increasedequipment expenditures is the netsavings (if positive) and net costs(if negative).Building Technologies Programeere.energy.gov89ScopeNOPR AnalysesClosing RemarksPublic
