3.2 Impact Evaluation Gross Savings
Gross Impact for CFLs
Savings associated with the CFL component are estimated using a deemed approach, with the energy
savings and demand reductions taken as deemed in accordance with the TRM.
There were two separate activities within the CFL component of this program in PY2: upstream
discounts and giveaway events. The impact evaluation for both activities within the CFL program
component includes the following verification elements:
» Review of shipment invoices, including types and quantities of CFLs distributed to participating
retailers. These shipment invoices are carefully matched to the DSM tracking system to confirm
proper counts and bulbs types claimed.
• Review of the DSM tracking system to assure there are no duplicate entries and that all bulbs
were eligible for being counted in PY3 based on invoice dates.
* Review of CSP energy savings and demand reduction calculations.
