PFS v1.1 template is effective November 7, 2023. Any project with a signed project agreement or project application that occurs within 60 days of this date (i.e., November 7, 2023) can utilize the prior version of the PFS template

Resolution E-5115 adopts guidance for the documentation required when implementing the preponderance of evidence process adopted in Resolutions E-4818 and E-4939 for custom "accelerated-replacement" energy efficiency (EE) projects.  The following documents were developed to provide operational guidance on CPUC Resolution E-5115.

Resolution E-5115 is effective October 30, 2023. Any project with a signed project agreement or project application that occurs within 60 days of this date (i.e., October 30, 2023) can follow prior guidance.

"MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 5.5.23 - FINAL” to be used for all non-residential custom lighting projects starting from April 4, 2023. Any project with a signed project agreement or project application that occurs within 60 days of this date (i.e., April 4, 2023) can utilize the prior version of the tool.

Note: An error was fixed on May 5, 2023 but the tool functionality remained the same as the version uploaded in March.

To support development of alternative measure definitions for chillers, and to extend the DEER chiller savings calculation methods to custom projects, DEER now includes a chiller savings calculation workbook, DEER2020_Chiller_Workbook-v1.xlsx, which utilizes the DEER chiller simulation results to develop savings of chiller measures that incorporate designated non-DEER measure characteristics.

• The CPUC provides a discussion regarding building decarbonization at CPUC's Building Decarbonization webpage.
• The CPUC's Fuel Substitution Technical Guidance Document v.1 is both attached here and available at CPUC's Fuel Substitution in Energy Efficiency webpage.  Although the Draft Fuel Substitution Technical Guidance Document v2 has been posted to the same webpage, it has not yet been adopted by the CPUC.
• The associated fuel-substitution calculator to be submitted with all fuel-substitution measure packages (both new or updated) using the Fuel Substitution Calculator v1.1 that is available exclusively at CPUC's Fuel Substitution in Energy Efficiency webpage. Again, although the Draft Fuel Substitution Calculator v2.0 has been posted to the same webpage, it has not yet been adopted by the CPUC. Measure package developers shall submit all fuel substitution measure packages using the Fuel Substitution Calculator v1.1 until otherwise notified.
