Abstract
provided to assist gas and electric utilities, utility regulators, and others in the implementation of the recommendations of the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency (Action Plan) and the pursuit of its longer-term goals. This Guide describes a structure and several model approaches for calculating energy, demand, and emissions savings resulting from facility (non-transportation) energy efficiency programs that are implemented by cities, states, utilities, companies, and similar entities. By using best practices and consistent procedures, evaluations can support the adoption, continuation, and expansion of efficiency programs. The primary audience for this Guide is energy efficiency program designers and evaluators looking for guidance on the evaluation process and key issues relating to documenting energy and demand savings, documenting avoided emissions, and comparing demand- and supply-side resources. Introductory portions and Appendix C are also intended for policy-makers seeking information about the basic principles of efficiency evaluation. Model Energy Efficiency
