SAG Facilitator Introduction to August 13 Meeting
GDS Associates Presentation: Illinois 2023 Baseline and Potential Study – Key Observations and Draft Results
Follow-up: August 13, 2024 Large Group SAG Attendees and Notes

Follow-up Questions on Key Baseline Study Findings:

Kari Ross – Do you know if the buildings involved in these visits had previously opted-into EE C&I programs or not?
Karen Lusson – Will you be presenting a slide on residential cooling potential?
Seth Craigo-Snell – Do we have any information from the study about heat delivery through the homes (forced air vs water vs steam)?

Follow-up Questions on Potential Study Results:

Seth Craigo-Snell: I am really struggling to understand how the individual measures that are presented in slide 37 were chosen/identified. There are several of these measures on both the residential and nonresidential side that don’t make sense to me as key measures (e.g., on the residential side: refrigerators, ground source heat pumps and on the non-res side: Advanced power strips). So, I guess my questions are: What are the driving parameters in the modeling for the development of these measure listings? Are these scenarios (RAP and SMAP) budget limited?

Peoples Gas & North Shore Gas Responses to Follow-up Items

Summary of follow-up items:

In the example on the slide 6, 62.7% is the response on 50-year payback. What is payback without any incentive? Did you ask what the uptick would be without any incentive?
Confirm if the survey data relied on was coupled with site visits or survey data exclusively.
What is the carbon adder based on? Is AEG presenting the same value for the grid emission rates that was present to SAG in June/July?
Residential study results – look into why the blower door measure was not on the list as a top measure.
For the “connected thermostat” measure (both residential and commercial), are you assuming baseline of programmable or manual?
Stakeholder request: How did assumptions in the AEG study for Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas differ from the statewide study performed by GDS Associates for Ameren Illinois, ComEd, and Nicor Gas? If the assumptions or study results differ in a significant way, it would be good to understand via a summary memo.
