Market Studies Needs Assessment (1)
 Objective
 To allow Commission Staff to collect data on key markets at regular intervals,
identify and field high-priority market research within the 2013-2014 cycle,
and track market research across contracts groups and evaluation efforts.
 Research Questions
 Within which markets do the CPUC /IOUs already have good data?
 Which market studies are worthwhile for the CPUC /IOUs to undertake and
what is their relative priority?
 What is an appropriate framework for conducting market study research and
what are the structural and communication requirements of such a
framework?

Residential Spillover
 Objective
 To produce spillover estimates for the residential sector and to verify CPUC
assumption of a 5% spillover value
 Research Questions
 What energy efficient measures are being installed without use of program
incentives or as a direct result of program intervention?
 Why did customers install/purchase these measures without program
support?
 What savings result from participant and non-participant spillover?
 What percent of those savings are attributable to program interventions?
 Current Status – budget allocated for the following tasks:
 Write full EM&V plan
 Create participant self-report survey battery
