Next step?
A VISION FOR RTF (Northwest) A VISION FOR RTF (Northwest) (AND OTHER SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS IN OTHER REGIONS)(AND OTHER SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS IN OTHER REGIONS)
Find funding to establish a small team of analysts to: Manage deployment of an open architecture Dreamwatts-like technology
Distribute through utility and other entities doing audits throughout region
Collect data Add additional devices Create algorithms to analyze data Care and feeding of data Share findings with other similar regional entities
Uses of the data Create supply curves of conservation Determine strengths and weaknesses in building stock Target efficiency measures consistent with findings Determine coincident peak power needs, and strategies to reduce those needs Other?
