Subject: CalTRACK Prioritization and Housekeeping

 

Hi Working Group,

 

Great meeting everyone. Prioritization has commenced! Please email me back with your rankings for the issues listed below. As a reminder, here is how voting works:

• All member organizations rank each issue from 1 (most important) to 5 (least important) in terms of urgency/priority.
• 1 vote per organization
• Organizations may abstain from voting on any given issue
• Highest average rank (closest to 1) determines prioritization order
• Voting is open until 11:59 PM, Pacific Time, on Wednesday, October 30th

 

The Issues:

#121 (Schmidt), Heating Balance Point Temperatures Abnormally Low?

#122 (Schmidt), Enhance Testing Methods

#123 (Schmidt), Improved Handling of Bad Buildings

#124 (Schmidt), Improve Handling of Buildings with Weather-Energy Misalignments

#125 (Schmidt), Ensure that AEU Includes All Days in Reporting Period

#127 (Schmidt), Improve Stability of Incremental Savings via Rolling 12 Month Reporting Periods

#130 (Monsees), “Month type” or “Week type” control to Address Intercept-Only Model Issues with More Frequent Payments

#133 (Ngo), Increase Total HDD/CDD Limits to Avoid Out-of-Range Balance Points

#134 (Koliner), Modifications to the Temperature Variable

 

Housekeeping

Here are the slides from the last meeting: Meeting Slides

We have successfully shifted the next two meetings so that they don’t fall on holidays. Mark your calendars (or check the Google calendar). They will take place on:

• Wednesday, November 20^th, at the usual time
• Wednesday, December 18^th, at the usual time

 

Next meeting, we will discuss the results of prioritization after we discuss the two issues we are currently working on. We should also have some additional insights from the Steering Committee on the boundaries of CalTRACK.

 

Thanks,

Hi Working Group,

 

As a reminder, responses are due to me by tomorrow night. So far I have received one response. I believe we need twelve or so, so check out the issues and send your rankings along!

 

Thanks,

Alright everyone!

 

Currently we need 7 more votes before we can finalize prioritization, and you only have 14 hours left to vote! Seeing as the who isn’t anonymous for voting, I will go ahead and call out the organizations that have submitted their votes already. If you haven’t gotten your votes in, send them in today!

 

Already voted:

HEA

Franklin Energy

kW Engineering

NYSERDA

Thanks,
