Agenda
1. The role that C&S can play in expanding DR2. State of the Union on DR in Codes & Standards• Appliances• Building Codes
3. CA perspective: DR code triggers4. Call to Action: Opportunities for stakeholder
involvement to expand DR/ADR practices
Energy Solutions | DR and C&S Integration 3
Increasing interest in scaling up demand response and the role for C&S• “The time seems to be nigh for
demand response and I think the pressure on all of us is increasing to make it work at a scale that hasn’t been done in the past.”
• “…maybe the way [DR-enabled products] get developed is through appliance standards … or … building standards”

Code can enable participation in DR
Code can help standardize practices

What can code do?
It primes the market for broader participation
It does not mandate participation
Energy Solutions | DR and C&S Integration 5
C&S can operate in parallel with voluntary efforts to help build the market
(as opposed to a hand off)

STATE OF THE UNION ON DEMAND RESPONSE IN VOLUNTARY & MANDATORY CODE
7
Mandatory appliance standards have yet to incorporate DR; voluntary programs can push the market

Mandatory No action.
Mandatory Can address smart grid if leads to “demonstrable” energy savings.
Voluntary Refrigerators, Freezers, Clothes Dryers – 5% credit/allowance
CA Title 20 State Mandatory& Voluntary No action.

Anticipated Shift to
mandatory requirements with
uptake of “Green” Code.
Green codes are getting greener… and are increasingly adopted as mandatory
Voluntary Reach Codes will continue to prime code

Green building codes continue to expand incorporation of DR measures

DR Provisions primarily focus on HVAC and lightingCode Body Measures
ASHRAE 189.1
• ADR capable to drop load by > 10 % of projected peak; standby power cannot be used
IgCC • A jurisdiction can elect to require ADR capable of reducing HVAC by > 10% and lighting by > 15%
LEED • LEED Credit given to buildings that are ADR capable of dropping load by > 10 % of projected peak
CA Title 24
2008 2013 2016 – CONCEPT ONLY
• Non-res lighting: DR capability to drop 15% light load for retail >50,000 ft2
• Non-res HVAC: DR/ADR capability for DDC (
• Large Electronic Message Centers >15kW
• Non-res lighting: DR capability to drop 15% light load for all comm >10,000 ft2
• Non-res HVAC: DR/ADR capable thermostats required for buildings w/o DDC
• Res HVAC: compliance option to use DR capable thermostat
• Res: DR/ADR circuitry for 220V load
• Non-Res: DR/ADR circuitry for fork-lift charging
• Res HVAC: mandatory DR/ADR capable thermostats

TRIGGERS, BARRIERS, & OPPORTUNITIES
Energy Solutions - Standards Coordination 12
California is well positioned to adopt DR measures into code... may not be the case for other states
Loading order dictates DR before new generation
Large number of customers on Time-of-Use (TOU) rates
Title 24 cost-effectiveness evaluated using Time Dependent Valuation (TDV)
Utility ADR programs are priming code and serving to build customer confidence around DR & ADR
Advanced metering systems and protocols in place for administering events
Regulatory Triggers
Market Trigger
Technology Trigger
13
One of the largest barriers is in mitigating fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD)
• Title 24 - 2008 Communicating Thermostat DR Debacle– Public misinterpretation of code requirement– Codes is/will continue to be written to enable
(NOT require) DR participation
Successful participation of DR/ADR practices is dependent on stakeholder involvement
across several facets
14
Stakeholder Action
Industry, Utilities, Regulators Establish uniform protocols and terminology for DR/ADR
USGBC, ASHRAE, ICC, State Energy Commissions, Utilities
Identify new and expand upon existing DR measures
Industry, Utilities Enhance technical capacity of appliances, building equipment, and metering systems
Utilities, NGOs, Customers Reduce FUD barriers through educational programs and participation in DR
Utilities, NGOs, RegulatorsAdvocate regulators to establish DR as a necessary mechanism for grid-load-management
