ADM is conducting a Time of Use Rate
experiment for the Sacramento Municipal
Utility District. This project includes sample selection,
recruitment, supervision, and installation of end-use monitoring and
Time of Use meters. |

ADM is conducting an evaluation study
of Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Programs that PacifiCorp fielded in Utah and
Washington. This evaluation study is to include an impact and a
process evaluation. Data for the study are to be collected
through interviews with program staff, review of program materials and
processes, on-site inspections, end-use metering, and interviews with
customers. These data wil be used in engineering review and other
impact analysis to estimate energy savings and demand reductions
resulting from the program. The data will also be used in the
process evaluation and analysis of program design and operations. |

ADM is conducting a process, market
and impact evaluation of the B. C.
Hydro Power Saving Partners Industrial program. Key issues
that to be addressed during the study include determining customer
satisfaction with the program and its components, assessing the
effectiveness of each program component and providing recommendations
for program improvement, assessing the share of the potential market
captured through the program, estimating the remaining market
potential, determining gross savings associated with the program and
each of its components, determining customer and BC Hydro costs
associated with capturing these savings, and determining the program
net savings. |

ADM is conducting an impact
evaluation of the Energy Trust
of Oregon 2004 and 2005 Building Efficiency
Programs. Key issues to be addressed through our evaluation
included development of reliable estimates of gross and net program
savings for the 2004 and 2005 Building Efficiency Programs, and making
observations and developing recommendations to improve the
effectiveness of future engineering studies and evaluations of the
Energy Trust’s commercial retrofit efficiency projects. |

ADM is implementing the Mobile
Energy Clinic and Diagnostic Services Program for the California
Public Utilities Commission, and for the New York State Energy Research and
Develoment Authority.This program focuses on improving energy
efficiency for small businesses by making no-cost/low-cost improvements
for energy efficiency, and by providing diagnostics of
energy-using equipment. Small
businesses that participate in this program have actual
no-cost/low-cost improvements made to their equipment. They also have
their HVAC performance tested, condenser coils cleaned, filters
changed, lighting systems evaluated, and other energy using equipment,
such as water heaters, compressors and process equipment checked for
proper use. Owners/managers are given a checklist of other energy
efficiency actions that they can take.. |

 ADM managed the Low-Income
Energy Efficient Housing Program; a three-year research effort
targeted towards adapting technologies (either new or existing) that
reduce residential energy use and by doing so reduce consumer costs.
The program brought together a distinguished group of scientists and
researchers from the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University,
the Florida
Solar Energy Center at the University of Central Florida, the University
of Nebraska and the Heat Island
Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories. Funded by the California
Energy Commission through its Public Interest Research Program (PIER), the
consultant team was charged with carrying out the many tasks associated
with the research program. |

|
|
 ADM managed the Central Valley Schools
Energy Efficiency Program for the California State and
Consumer Services Agency.
This program offered a variety of
educational resources to teach K-12 grade students about energy,
and provided technical support to assist schools with
energy-efficient facility upgrades

ADM has conducted a statewide
evaluation of the effectiveness of bi-level lighting controls and task
lighting for Southern California Edison
Co. This study, conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of dual
switching required under Title-24 California Building Standards,
included extensive monitoring of lighting controls and occupancy
profiles. |
|
|
|
Under a subcontract, ADM will be
conducting a statewide evaluation of the multi-family residential new
construction baseline. |
|
|
|
ADM has completed the final reports
for a Nonresidential Remodeling and Renovation Study,
for the California Energy Commission. For this study,
ADM collected and analyzed data to characterize nonresidential
remodeling and renovation market activity in California. The data and
analysis produced through this study will be used in evaluating energy
efficiency market transformation efforts, and the effectiveness of
individual programs and in strategic planning efforts. |
|
|
|
Under a subcontract for the California
Energy Commission ADM performed field survey work and simulation
efforts for the CEUS Project in the service
territories of SCE, SDG&E, and SMUD. |
|
|
|
ADM will continue with conducting
measurement and verification for the NYSERDA Standard Performance Contract Program
for the next several years. |
|
|
|
ADM will continue the Non-Residential
Measure Retention Study for Southern California Edison Co. in
2005 and 2006. |
