Proposal to Amend Regional Technical Forum Recommendations or Criteria

Sponsorship

Proposals for amendments must be sponsored by at least one party eligible for Bonneville's Conservation and Renewable Rate Discount (utilities and Direct Service Customers) or a member of the RTF. List sponsor(s) for this proposal

Amendment of list of eligible measures, technology or practice

Give a general description of the measure, technology or practice and how it saves electricity.

Explain how the measure, technology or practice satisfies the criteria for inclusion to the list (pp. 5-6 of The Regional Technical Forum's Recommendations to the Bonneville Power Administration Regarding Conservation and Renewable Resources Eligible for the Conservation and Renewable Resources Rate Discount and Related Matters).

To what category in Appendix E (e.g. residential appliances, commercial ventilation measures, etc.) does this measure belong?

Are you proposing that the RTF establish deemed savings for this measure, technology or practice? If so, explain how it satisfies the criteria for listing as a deemed measure (page 7, RTF Recommendations above).

Are you proposing that the RTF establish a deemed calculation method for estimating savings or output? If so, describe the proposed deemed calculation method.

If not, describe the proposed standardized protocol for establishing savings or output.

Is any information proprietary? (RTF and staff can sign nondisclosure agreements)

Amendment of Protocols for Estimating Measures' Savings or Values

Describe the proposed protocol.

Is this a new protocol or a revision of an existing protocol? If the latter, specify the protocol in Appendix P to be revised.

What is the rationale for the proposed change (e.g. simpler process to obtain equally useful information, expanded process to remedy deficient information)?

Amendment of Assumptions or Analytical Methods Used in Estimating Measures' Savings or Values

If you are proposing an amendment to assumptions, describe the modified assumptions.

What estimates or protocols will be affected?

Present evidence that the proposed assumption more realistically approximates reality

If possible, give examples of recalculated values.

If you are proposing an amendment to the Forum's analytical methods, give the rationale for the superiority of a proposed change, compared to the current method

Amendment of Screening Criteria for Eligible Measures and Criteria for the Evaluation of Research, Development and Demonstration Activities

Describe the proposed change in criteria, and the rationale for the change.
