Data. It’s the stuff that builds robust energy efficiency programs, yet high-quality data that satisfies regulators can be hard to come by.
In today’s age of increasing investments in energy efficiency programs, higher savings targets, and greater scrutiny of energy savings, good data is essential to designing high-performing programs. To address these challenges, D&R has developed Better Data Better DesignSM, a collaborative, utility-directed subscription service that:
-
Connects utilities and program administrators with each other and with other market actors to identify key data gaps.
-
Provides program design insights based on robust empirical data.
-
Facilitates review of program design by stakeholders (i.e., manufacturers, retailers, and evaluators).
-
Guides rapid development and testing of program designs that account for market realities.
-
Provides regularly updated information on long-term market trends.
-
Yields cost savings through pooled resources.
The result: tailored program designs that achieve program sponsors’ energy-savings goals.
