Analysis of Weatherization Measures
Options for Savings Methodology and Presentation of Costs from 6th Plan
Regional Technical ForumMay 4th, 2010
The Old Method• “SUNDAY” Whole House Energy Use Calculation Tool
– Temperature Bin and Solar Gain Analysis– Calibrated to metered usage– Zonal heating system assumed– Inputs
• House UA• T-stat Settings• Window area and orientation• Internal Gains• Duct characteristics
• “Last Measure In” Analysis– Weatherization measures are applied to the SUNDAY kWh versus UA curve, in
order of cost-effectiveness, starting with the most cost-effective. – The last cost-effective measure’s kWh/∆UA is calculated– This kWh/∆UA is applied to all weatherization measures, as if each measure
was the “last measure in”• With SUNDAY, this is a conservative approach. Remember, the house’s existing
insulation level is unknown.

The New (revised 6th Plan) Method• SEEM
– An improved version of SUNDAY• Hourly simulation• Ground contact, crawlspace, attic, and ducts are more precisely modeled
– Inputs calibrated to metered energy use (note: the original 6th Plan values were not calibrated)
• Modified t-stat settings for zonal and electric forced air furnaces (66 deg F)• Calibration was approved by the RTF in Nov 2009
– Zonal heating system assumed (no change)– Justification: weighted average COP of Heat Pump, FAF, and Zonal is about 1.0
• Revised 6th Plan Method Uses– “Last Measure In” Analysis
• No change– SEEM
• SEEM Runs include– 13 Weatherization Packages– 5 TMY3 Weather Inputs– 3 House Prototypes
– Issues with this method• kWh vs UA curve is not smooth• Extrapolation required• Doesn’t take into account FAF or HP’s• …more details on following slides…

Alternatives to 6th Plan Approach(In ascending order of correctness)
Options1a. Use “last measure in – by measure type” method
- Applies a more representative kWh/∆UA factor to each measure
1b. Use constant slope for all measures- Eliminates “last measure in”, which doesn’t match SEEM’s output
2. Use SEEM to more directly calculate savings for the measure- This would require the most work to put together, but it would be the most correct methodAdditional Decisions to make under Option 2:i. Publish one melded value OR separate values for FAF, Zonal, and HP heating systemsii. Assume the “go to” case is a fully weatherized house with sealed ducts OR some assumed average caseiii. There are probably many more decisions to make…
Sub-OptionA. All options above could implement an additional option: Use the 6th
Plan’s mix of Forced Air furnace (36%), Zonal (42%), and Heat Pump (22%) heating systems. (instead of modeling zonal only)

Decision on Savings Methodology
• Adopt 6th Plan method or adopt another method?

Insulation Measure Costs• Old Method (from 5th Plan)
– Average of four sources• PSE Reported Costs• EWEB Reported Costs• Pacific PUD Reported Costs• 1996 Power Plan Costs
• New Method– Median of ETO Program Data (electric)
• May 2007 through July 2008
– Cost per ft2 = [Median (ETO cost/ft2/∆R)] × [∆ R]

Window Measure Costs• Used ETO Program data for
Multifamily– Multifamily costs
expected to best convey the cost of the efficiency improvement
– Single Family costs expected to be biased high due to additional “features”
• U-0.30 to U-0.25 assumed to be $2.00/ft2
– Recommend change to $1.36/ft2 per June 2009 RTF meeting decision
• Gary Curtis’ research on costs for a 0.30 window package versus 0.22.
