Commercial Clothes Washer Measure Overview
• Current Category: Proven
• Current Status: Active
• Current Sunset Date: March 31, 2015
• Reason for Update/Review: Current workbook includes one market segment - commercial laundromats.
Snohomish County PUD requested if coin-operated machines in multi-
family common areas could be added to the measure workbook.

Measure Descriptions
• Go to the following sections in the Summary tab in the proposed measure workbook:– Measure Properties– Measure Identifiers
4
Summary of Updates• Reviewed current workbook to see which parameters in
analysis could change between the two market segments.
• Determined that two parameters could be affected:– Washer cycles per day
– Lifetime (EUL)
• Looked at current DOE Technical Support Document (TSD) for commercial clothes washers1, and found that the TSD provides estimates of cycles/day and EUL for both laundromats and coin-operated multi-family machines separately (see next slide).

Remaining Issues for RTF Discussion
• No factors identified.
7
Summary of Changes
• All savings, costs, and cost-effectiveness remain unchanged for laundry measures.
• Costs are assumed to be constant between laundry and multi-family common area units.
• Annual savings for multi-family are less than laundromats, given the relative reduction in cycles per day (3.4 versus 6, respectively)
• Go to the Presentation tab in the proposed measure workbook for graphs of savings, cost, and TRC B/Cs.

Staff Proposal• Approve the addition of multi-family common
areas to the commercial clothes washer UES measure analysis

Proposed Decision
“I _______________ move that the RTF:• Approve the addition of multi-family
common areas to the commercial clothes washer UES measure analysis.”
